I have chosen the Caldari race because of their preference toward shields as opposed to the weaker armor Gallente uses. I will continue to be Caldari until death, or when harm forces me to quit supporting this race. Canine. |

Since their escape from the Amarrians, they have been getting better and better resources, and arguably richer. This is visible in their use of better metal plates on their more recent spaceships. |

Yes I remember when minmatar ships were made of plywood, duct tape, silver spray paint, and ran on propane tanks from home depot. |

I went Caldari because they were the closest to what I could relate with. Plus, my pilot was Caldari so I figured I'd make his nut-job brother.
EVElopedia wrote:Founded on the tenets of patriotism and hard work that carried its ancestors through hardships on an inhospitable homeworld, the Caldari State is today a corporate dictatorship, led by rulers who are determined to see it return to the meritocratic ideals of old. Ruthless and efficient in the boardroom as well as on the battlefield, the Caldari are living emblems of strength, persistence, and dignity.

Interestingly you are also a Minmatar, could that be the reason you picked Minmatar? I did initially pick Minmatar because I relate to them, and I consider myself a Minmatar immigrant to the Gallente Federation. I can relate to the Gallente on an ideological level.
I couldn't decide between Minmatar and Gallente, I picked Minmatar because I'm hoping one day we'll have some facial customization and I wanted some cool dreadlocks and tattoos. When we got racial merc quarters, i found the Minmatar one pretty crappy, so I started using a Gallente as my main playing character instead just because of beautiful merc quarters.
I don't even play on this character anymore, the only reason I haven't deleted is is because of how many threads I have favorited on the forums, and all these likes look pretty. |

Because the suits are classy and their weapons are badass. Forge Gun, Nova Knives, sniper, Gauss Rifle, they're all based on the concept of railgun technology, which is basic physics at work with insane damage. Caldari also likes missiles but I just ignore that fact. Missiles are for the weak like the Lamematar. Also the Caldari tanks look awesome and fit nicely with a railgun. I have to admit that the Gallente dropship is beautiful... |

Not according to their scripture, the opposite n fact. They were the slave masters using religion to kill and enslave races. This includes wiping several races of the face of the earth, and I quote:
Deut. 20:16-18 wrote:However, in the cities of the nations the Lord your God is giving you as an inheritance, do not leave alive anything that breathes. Completely destroy them the Hittites, Amorites, Canaanites, Perizzites, Hivites and Jebusites as the LORD your God has commanded you
If any race is like the Amarr its the Jews.

There are several factors that caused so many to become Caldari.
First there is the fact that it's CCP's chosen race. Everyone saw this as the default choice plus they had assault suits...and this game centers around the assault players because CCP don't give a **** about the other suits.
Second, similar to the first reason it's because by being CCP's chosen race they concentrated on shield first and there was a time when armor was actually more useless than it is now. Those were dark days my friends.
Third, for the person that looked into the story, it's because people read the description and saw the word capitalism and automatically went "USA USA USA numbur Juan! Moneyz iz kingz! I can relate yo. gotta get mine b4 yhu get youres" even though their society focuses on the collective rather than the individual which completely contradicts their view.
Then there are the people who actually read the story and know a at least a little bit about the lore and actually picked Caldari because they related or thought it was interesting. |

I would say because Amarr and Mim are mostly bad options in having people be able to relate to them.
That leaves Gallente and Caldari. Gallente to me sounds like a hedonistic hodgepodge of silly fops. Caldari usually sounds like it has similar freedoms but are more united in their efforts. It sounds Japanese (And they make good stuff) I think if they played up how hideous corporations can be to their employees and downplayed how crazy the Gallente are then we would see more Gallente then Caldari.
As for Amarr, I could see them getting alot more popular if they tried to subtly word them more like the Necromongers from Riddick. Thats a cool race of religious people.
As for the Mim, I think they would see more people if they pushed harder on the freedom fighter angle rather then them being poor savages. No one wanted to play the indian when we played cowboys vs indians as kids. However people did like playing the native american freedom fighter in Assassin's Creed 3. |

Also, how cool is this.
People tend to ignore that they have a nasty, nasty social side and that dishonor is something you really don-¦t want to have in a deeply social community.
After some time they set him free. Free to wander around, dazed. No one knew what he had done, but at the same time everyone knew that it had been dishonorable. He couldn't get a new job, of course. Not even the lowliest street sweepers would talk to a dishonored man. His family deserted him. His friends never answered. Even complete strangers, passing him in the street, gave him looks, as if they could smell his rank.
His savings had been left intact, but he never had to dip into them, because he'd been given a monthly pension. That, somehow, made it even worse. |

I think it is funny that a lot of people seem to forget that slavery has been around as long as people have been. This isn't me saying that it was ok, though it has been a sad truth in the history of humanity. Slavery still happens today, it just doesn't get the attention that historical slavery does. I've had conversations with people who apparently believed that slavery was a new thing that started in the north american colonies roughly 500 years ago.
It wasn't, slavery is as old as people and people of all cultures, religions and skin colors have been subjected to it.

The Caldari are tasteless number crunchers. Its all about the basics with no sense of the beauty of the universe. Wake up, do work, go to sleep. What a boring lifestyle devoid of richness.
Its because of this that Im surprised that they have such a nice looking LAA. They must of kidnapped a Gallente designer. |

(back to real world) - The reason that slavery is so tied to the Americas is because of the cultural specificity of it. In the past, slaves could be of any race or ethnic background. Because of this, it wasnt as easy to generalize about a person's family history just by looking at them. In the Americas, this was different. South America had something like 40 different ethnic classes based on what percentage of your lineage was European, Native, and African. The United States had the same issue as it was assumed that anyone who was black was a former slave and they were treated as such. However, exploitation was a completely different matter. There were many cases that were basically slavery without the official label. The two most notable were the coil miners (usually Irish decent) or the Chinese. |

For the State
Once the requirements were properly assessed and a draft schedule was put together, the Director looked up at the Foreman.
"This is a lot of work for two teams."
"The work needs doing and two teams is what we have. You give me the orders, and my men will get it done."
Megacorporations
Competition, efficiency and market share is more important to the corporations than accumulation of wealth (although the latter is often a happy by-product of the former). Business for the good of the individual rather than the good of the many is something totally alien to the Caldari.
The Caldari do what must be done. The Caldari is interested in the good of the whole, instead of the whims of one. Surrender to the void.
Tengu
When we first saw the flock, we were surrounded, caught in a spectacle of stimuli. Brilliant colors, dancing lights, beautiful cacophonies, wafting ambrosia. Those birds surrounded us, each one a different shape, an altered species, a new wonder. I tried to follow a single bird, but my efforts were futile: Transformation is natural to their existence. Imagine it: an undulating mass, a changing mob, all those beasts partaking in wonderful transmogrification.
These were our augurs, our deliverers, our saviors. Standing amidst the flock, we should have feared their glory; instead, we drew hope. This moment is the first time I understood what it meant to be Caldari: Divinity in the flock, delivery in flux, one being, many changes.
