Well, it is the season of forgiveness.

Just don't dispute the legitimacy of our next ruler and we'll be fine. For now.


Yes, we can forgive Max... after he submits himself and everything he owns to proper Amarr authorities and he and his family serve several thousand years of penance for his actions.

Except, of course, that at no point has he been declared a criminal by anyone within the Amarr power structure. Oh, and... he was selected as one of the potential Champions for House Kador. To have been there and flown in the Trials, he had to submit himself to the Amarr authorities and placed himself under the guns of an Amarr titan. And at no point was even accused of wrongdoing.

But hey, you know better than the Theology Council, right? That's why your saying this, now that they've determined his book isn't illegal?

This might hold some weight if a blooder had not been also involved in those trials. As is, it is quite clear that heresy was not considered a disqualifying factor for participation.

Wait wasn't that book cancelled from lack of funding? Anyway, do you have any book signing scheduled? I would really like one. Thanks

Alternately, it might be quite clear that the Theology Council doesn't agree with you... which makes you the heretic, no?

PRESS RELEASE:
Max Amarria, the New Testament is in print and will soon be shipping cluster wide.

STATEMENT:
"It is with great humility that the Theology Council and other authorities have declared my book, Max Amarria, as no longer illegal within the Amarr Empire and Cluster of New Eden. It is my hope that liberal Amarr Holders and Organizations can see a return to our Golden Glory and shed the corruptions of the past can finally move on towards our right, and just, future. Copies of Max Amarria are now shipping to all races in New Eden. Again, I thank you, the public for lifting me to this place, and may we all find His glory together during these darkest of days." -Max Singularity


PROLOG OF MAX AMARRIA:
The Cosmos is unknowingly vast. Distant galaxies whirl about their black hole centers with hundreds of million suns, captive in an eternal dance. In space, the Sun never sets. The light creates day, and the enveloping darkness creates night, both day and night embraced in the the shadows of duality.

Planetside, there is something deeply stirring in intelligent beings when they see the sunrise over a world’s ocean. Watching a sunrise reminds us that the Universe still holds many mysteries and it beckons our smartest minds to seek its truths. We have come to know that the sun is a star, and we simple human beings have collectively unlocked enough truths of the Universe that we can travel between those distant stars in mere minutes.

Something in the Cosmos calls to us. We do not understand but we hear its voice. In quiet moments the voice is deafening. It is masked with the crashing sound of an ocean wave on a sandy beach, or in the whisper of wind through trees and mountain passes.

The language of this voice is written in the symbols of a snowflake, the sand patterns of an Ono Mating Ant, Orvolle V’s rhythmic dancing clouds.

It is not our ears but our hearts that hear this calling voice, and those that hear it, know they have heard it, for it is true.

The totality of such beautiful sights, beautiful songs, and wondrous feelings of fulfillment by participating in these beauties have been described as super-natural, or even devine.

Such beauty cannot be denied, for it is blatant truth incarnate with no explanation needed. There is no meaning to a double rainbow, it just is, and it is true. Elegant truth.

Yet through time immemorial there are simple scientific explanations to these beauties such as why the skies of Torvi V are crimson red during the day, and glow deep blue at night. We know what causes the planets sky colors to vary from planet to planet, but only recently have we began to understand that the scientific explanation is itself also divine, for it too holds the calling voice of the Cosmos.

In human history, there was a wide line between nature and the super-natural divine. Humans have created its share of divine laws, and natural laws and they have always been exclusive of each other. The law of gravity is usually obeyed without too much argument, but breaking the laws of church have led to possibly an equal number of deaths throughout time.

Supernovas and humans yelling “In the name of God” have taken both their share of people’s lives.

In this New Testament known as Max Amarria, we shall dive deep into the voice of the cosmos, into the unknowable depths of a inconceivably huge God, and our miniscule role in His heavens. Prepare your minds for a quake, because the answers have been in front of our eyes the entire time.


May the Blessings be... see you on the undock.


Do let me know if this tripe id worth more than the meat popsicle ....

Oh and don't forget the competitor to Guafe and Starsi... Sion-Bru... It's rather toxic and loud in colour but guaranteed to keep you sugar-up and livid..... the recipe is secret, but send festive poker chips to keep production running....

I'm not going to have teenagers in shirts and ties trying to give me a copy, am I?

I'll read it, but on my own time and I'll pick up a copy myself.

Surely it will be interesting since the Amarr appear to have a dislike to it that is almost on the level of their dislike for walnuts.

Pretty sure you already have a copy waiting for redemption at the CQ receptionist's counter ((redeem item)). Just go leave your signature and claim it.

Also, what's wrong with walnuts?

Certain forms of Gallente pornography are technically legal for purchase within the Empire.

That does not mean that a proper Amarr would purchase or read it.

Ah thanks - there it is now. Been planet-side these days.

As for walnuts - I don't know. I just know that it's considered contraband in Amarr controlled customs offices.

Just when I thought I saw all the Amarrian customs, traditions and laws that do not make logical sense, here's another.

But it makes a great lot of logical sense, Ser Egivand. Walnuts are extremely flamable, and explosively so. And gold has a lower melting point than rust and duct tape. In that regard, Minmatar engineers are thousands of years technologically ahead of the Amarr Empire in what regards to the practice of fruit nut transportation logistics.

Now that's nuts. I supose there's a first for everything.

I do not buy that for even a moment.

Amarrian hull materials are of tungsten carbide, which has a melting point that exceeds 2,800 degrees centigrades. Even if they are made of gold, the melting point is still about 1000 degrees centigrade.

The nuts themselves wouldn't explode unless exposed to a stray spark while in flour form. This is however, also true with wheat or barley, which is something the Amarr ship alot of.

If there is a logical reason behind the ban, this isn't it. Is walnut allergy endemic in the Amarr population?

I can assure you that the Empire, as a whole, is not allergic to nuts.

I also am quite aware of what you did there.

"I say that even as the holy and the righteous cannot rise beyond the highest which is in each one of you - so the wicked and the weak cannot fall lower than the lowest which is in you also.  And as a single leaf turns not yellow but with the silent knowledge of the whole tree, so the wrong-doer cannot do wrong without the hidden will of you all."

Drugs have been smuggled in walnut shells, i believe is the underlying reason.

I express no other comment on this.

In the Federation we have no problem with nuts. We even put them in charge.


Sorry, couldn't help it.
