Live Events Discussion

I'm hoping to get our in-game event a little more visibility and to help make sure this shows up on ISD's and the Live Events team's radar.

While conceived as a broad-scoped research and science conference focusing on whatever subjects are topical at the time of the individual conferences, due to the timing, it looks like the focus this time around is going to be on Drifters, Sleepers, Seekers and the Unidentified Structures.

Information on the conference can be found in these threads:

[RPCIN][SYNE] The Fourth Seyllin Conference - Call for Submissions

[RPCIN][SYNE] Drifters Panel Added to Fourth Seyllin Conference

Hope to see you there.

Was there something constructive you were trying to do here, given that this is a player-run event, and you're ranting about GM events?

The comment is a historical view about live events, however IF it is a 100% player run event I fully support it

disclaimer:

For constructive feed back:

I believe the Drifters are tied into the The Prophecy of Macaper

It is tied into the sixth event: “what was many now becomes one when one becomes four”

The first 3 events that give credibility to the prophecy and have already come to pass which are as follows:

The first event in Macaper’s prophecy she described as “the cosmetic kiss of the comets” and this is exactly what happened in a remote Caldari system in YC 100 when two large comets collided head on.
The clash occurred within the boundaries of the solar system, but not close enough to any of the planets to cause any drastic effects. Debris from the comets disturbed space traffic for a while, but that was all. Albeit a very rare event, the comet collision was not connected to the prophecy at this time.

The second calamity took place a few months after the first calamity when the planet Fricoure in the Gallente Federation was flooded by rains which lasted for weeks. Scientists could easily explain this by citing shifts in the weather patterns in the upper atmosphere and it wasn’t until a diligent astrology student pointed out the similarities between this downpour and the second event of Macaper’s prophecy that people began taking notice.
(source: https://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/Fricoure says Flooding on Fricoure VI in YC 105, this should be fixed imho)

The third calamity is described by Macaper as being a “roaring stone that silences the world.”
In YC101 an asteroid entered the atmosphere of the planet Rumida in the Amarr Empire, impacting in the ocean. In addition to damaged infrastructure and lost lives, thousands of people were left deaf due to the intense sound waves generated by the asteroid as it traveled through the atmosphere.
(source: https://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/Rumida says around YC 100, should be fixed more accurately to YC 101)

Four more events are to take place according to the prophecy and speculations about their nature abound. Many claim expertise in the prophecies, but none can inform us with any certainty about what is to transpire. The fourth event is described by Macaper as “the appetite of nothing expands over the world”; the fifth is described as “the little brother makes the final sorrowful steps home; he is not welcome”; the sixth is described as “what was many now becomes one when one becomes four”; culminating in the seventh “return of the dark light from the heart of the mother”, as Macaper described it.


Now this is where I add my own interpretation of the prophecy and how the Drifters are tied into the sixth event.

The fourth calamity is described as “the appetite of nothing expands over the world.”
I believe this is Dawn of the Empyrean Age in YC 105, where pod and clone technology are tied into eachother.
Now that capsuleers are immortal and invincible compared to the rest of the denizens of New Eden, they spread out in to the "world" with an appetite of "nothing" (from the expression All or Nothing; it is all or none)
It is with the spread of capsuleer presence, more mysteries of New Eden are explored and exposed

We know from the description from the Gallente Titan Erebus the following:



The formless void is Anoikis, where and entity (something alive) sprang from. This entity such unlike any you can concieve of is the pathway to the "next", was none other then Jovians who brang with them Hydrostatic Capsule technology in AD 23224.

The darkness shall swallow the land, and in its wake there will follow a storm, as the appetite of nothing expands over the world.
About 20 years later (YC 0-5) when the Hydrostatic Capsule technology became available to the 4 empires, Macaper wrote her prophecy and in it she saw that when combined with already existing cloning technology a "darkness" could be created that could swallow the land.
In that time period the transference of a mind into a machine was already slowly explored, the earliest brain scan was in YC 20.

I also wonder if there is also a hint in: When the ears hear only, The mouth shouting. And the eyes see only, The fingers broken, The world has turned, And God has gone. Left us with fond memories, Of sweet life without pain. -- Apocalypse Verse 8:18

Yes, it is a 100% player run event.

Unfortunately, the events boards are a bit muddled, and it was just today that I realized I may've published this in the wrong place.

It's actually the fourth conference in its series. The first was about the initial wormhole phenomenon.
