Perhaps that is the reason. The earliest days of life on Caldari Prime involved ekeing out an existence in protected enclaves. Resources were scarce and the people using them would have to live in close proximity to hope to survive. Under these conditions half-hearted alliances that would crack under pressure had no hope of surviving and, when they fractured, could easily doom both factions to death.

Where conflicts had to happen, they had to be fast and decisive.

For the first time since I started the conversation, he looks me dead in the eye. In his gaze are steel jackhammers, quiet vengeance, a hundred thousand orbital bombs frozen in still life.

I thank everyone for the kind words and for those I was fortunate enough to open their eyes somewhat on our culture and lifestyle.

Unfortunately the old chest beaters and the grudgers had to derail this thread and sink it into ignorance which are far from the goals I had in mind when I typed down my thoughts. Alas, expecting anything out of IGS is perhaps too much.

Until next time.

I enjoyed reading the OP. That's not to say I agreed with it wholly, but it was worth the read. I simply have no comment I'd like to place here in public on it.

What does it mean to be Gallente?


From my Observations and Interactions with Gallente People, it would Appear that Gallente people, are somewhat inclined towards Emotion and Passion.
They are inclined to have an Idea, and Act Immediately upon it, rather than rigorously analyse every Possibility.

This may be because the Gallente People I have Encountered are often Extrovert type People.

I find Gallente people often Confusing and Difficult to Understand.

Synthia, as always, you are more eloquent and succinct as I could ever be.

I am inclined to act immediately upon my ideas because they're all brilliant.

...well, most of them, anyway.
