Ecliptic Rift

As a fan of the EVE background / lore (aka “Prime Fiction”), and a wannabe member of the CCP Ginger Army (though not an actual ginger IRL), I loved seeing his post on revamping corporation descriptions.

Eifyr in particular has always fascinated me, largely due to their connection to cybernetic implants and booster manufacturing. The connection to the Krusual tribe caught me off-guard, though, as they only have stations in Eram, the Sebiestor tribal headquarters, and Elgoi, a neighboring system.

I understand some of the Caldari players have simultaneous reservations and excitement about some of the updates there, but I haven’t yet delved into everything there.

Question: What do you call a President who invokes a law you don’t like?

Answer: A traitor!

Look, Federation, you created this situation. For all your endless preaching about “democracy”, you’ve instead set up a government where one man gets to run things according to his own whims using his own paramilitary thugs to make sure he gets his way.

Not that his military direction did you any good as Caldari capsuleers ran roughshod over every system your own militia supposedly swore to protect. Sure, they killed a lot of ships and the crew on them, but what did they achieve, besides breaking the hearts of thousands of mothers?

Proponents of republican rule try to convince you that it means rule by the people through representatives who do what the great nation wants. They don’t want to talk too much about representatives who, once in office, do what they want, throwing the voters just enough red meat to get their drooling support for the next election.

Decide for yourselves whether your president, or any president, really differs very much from a king.

Or from an empress, for that matter.
