Argh. Yes. These'll be fixed forthwith.


I love when people actually catch that I'm doing it intentionally. For me it's always about the lives of ordinary people in extraordinary circumstances, and not about politicians shouting at one another.


I had originally planned to off the dog, but when the time came I just ... couldn't. I've had one myself for a little over a year, and it struck too close to home. It worked out to the story's advantage, anyway.


Except there was tons of it. Examples include the hard choice he had to make between his family and his "hobby", the fact that he knew guard routes by heart, the "disappearances" among the lists of crimes (including his neighbors, whose houses were never repopulated), the way he could move unseen through the city, etc. I was actually worried that I might be telegraphing it.



It's nevar stated outright, but the implication is that it was just random citizens of the city, plus his neighbours - and yes, probably some of the ones who tried to dig up the garden, assuming the Caldari let them loose again.

Nice chronicle, bit repetitive in places, the ending definitely gets you thinking.

I would hope that there was another chron written and ready to go should that titan have been successfully defended but I know this is probably not the case, the event was scripted with one outcome which makes player participation a bit of a joke to be honest.

Also there needs to be an explanation why the titan didn't open fire on the Gallente districts as per its whole reason for being there in the first place.

Shame how the Caldari are depicted, Caldari Prime is by right a Cadari planet it's their homeworld with all their history and culture they had every right to take it back.

I don't think that would have helped improve the believability of the final twist. It really was just completely out of place through and through.



An egger with one too many boosters in her system.

That was a good read. I thought the story was going to make the Cald look like complete a-holes. I was pleasantly surprised.

Aren't you glad Falcon didn't write it?

Anyway, I liked it. The ending was a nice cherry on top.

As a player of EVE Online, I wish for world building and nuanced and new perspectives of the 4 empires, the various other main factions both lawful and pirate, etc. I wish for named and important characters in the universe being fleshed out or tested in some manner.

So in this story I felt the most compelling part was the contrast of the Caldari fascist, military focus and efficiency versus the petty and spiteful Gallente factions splintering among the townspeople, showing their inefficacy and divisive nature. This is why I have a problem with the unnamed and unimportant old man being a serial killer. It became a distraction. It doesn't add to the worldbuilding as outlined above in my first paragraph, and in fact, detracts from that "petty and spiteful" depiction of the Gallente, as they are no longer petty or spiteful, but based firmly in real and justified suspicion. It was an interesting development for the story about the old man, but was not helpful in telling the story of the 4 empires. So as an EVE player, I was disappointed.

I actually found the perspective of someone living on CP quite interesting, wether he was a serial killer or not.

you are not alone

i call bullshit

Fixed.
