The nice thing about being free rolling is that my alts are no longer set up in strategic locations that will allow me to fall back upon a support cushion of my own creation. So, when twitter reported that Empress Jaymal was undocking in Amarr I decided to go and look at what was happening.
I used Chella because I know she is set up in a cloaky ship. Quickly, I undocked her. She was only ten jumps from Amarr. Not a big deal for a blockade runner. I dropped into warp and flipped through my gates.
On the way through Niarja I passed through a cataylst gank squad. I knew they were not there for me. I was warping off as they decloaked for their fleet warp to their victim. Through the next gate I hurtled through space at a pleasant rate and made my way for Amarr's undock. But, due to paranoia mostly, I dropped out of warp 10k from the undock and cloaked up.
The side effect of this is that now I do have a use for a Dramiel. Warping through high sec to an event like this would be a nice little niche role for the ship. I hated being in a 'shoot me please' ship lick a blockade runner.
I was late getting into Sarum Prime. I had expected them to land on the gate but they didn't land. That confused me. I'm new to the live event thing so I missed the start. It then took me forever to realize where they were. But I caught up.

[20:03:46] Jamyl Sarum I > A god’s chosen our faith will be our weapon, for within it lies the path to salvation.
She then screamed "Amarr Victor" and people spammed it cheering off my screen.

Ah Max, how fascinatingly bad at RP you continue to be. Welcome to the 21st Century Amarr Empire, with 'arrests', 'detaining' and 'justice'. Newsflash, pal, there is no Justice but God's justice, and the representative of God is the Empress. Disobey the Empress, and face the consequences.
ReplyDeleteI guess, however, that it would suit him for there to be theological wiggle room in the Amarr Empire. Sadly, Feudal Religious Theocracies do not work thus.

I just felt I should add that CCP's doing a sterling job in these new 'RPathons'. Their smacktalk is highly entertaining, and their RP abilities are an example to us all. More please!
DeleteIf CCP were willing to set up some Gallente events, It would warm my freedom (dictatorship) loving heart!
This brings up an interesting point though. For an agreement so central to EvE, I don't believe we've ever even seen the Yulai Convention in full. What is this mysterious 'Ninth Codicil'? I suspect an 'end of the world' clause, or perhaps a 'Amarr Empire done fucked up and stuck in a anti cloning amendment' clause.
I know that Wardecs are ended/started under the Convention, and I believe there's a cloning section also. Perhaps CCP would consent to delivering us this (unwritten?) document.
More Fluff = More Worldbuilding = Better RP!
Rob K.
I don't actually want the document. But a cliff notes version would be fun. They could embargo parts of the treaty under state secrets to leave wiggle room for possible later expansion.
DeleteMore of a, "This is what we know about it now.".
