Announcement: The Red God has given Tattoo Artists over to destruction

In response to the ever growing number of pilots who mutilate themselves with ugly facial tattoos, the Red God has in his infinite wisdom sent forth a new commandment:

GOD HAS GIVEN TATTOO ARTISTS OVER TO DESTRUCTION.
The blood of the Tattoo Artists gives creativity to the Chosen.

Additionally, the Red God has established the following hierarchy of criminal acts:
The greatest crime is the crime of being Minmatar.
The second greatest crime is the crime of giving birth to more Minmatar.
The third greatest crime is the crime of tattooing someone, for tattooing is associated with the Minmatar, and tattooing increases the amount of Minmatarness in the world.

For all you pilots who have tattoos: the Red God hates your tattoos. He burns with Wrath toward your tattoos. And when you stand before him at the Judgement, he will rip out your disgusting tattoos with his own hands.

Not one square millimeter of tattoo ink shall be allowed into Paradise; nay even into Upper Hell, the hell of the righteous non-Chosen.

Thus speaketh the Red God though his Prophet Nauplius. Amen. Amarr Victor.

Meanwhile, unbeknownst to silly Mister Nauplius, some medical facilities place serial codes on internal organs and implant interfaces in the form of tattoos, for better tracking.

There might be a tattoo inside him right now!

The Voluval is considered the most sacred mark a Minmatar "Tribal" can carry.

Secrets of which are closely guarded by the Vherokior mystics. "other"

They do "should" differ from the tattoo, in that regard.

You really read this as a matter of restricting personal freedoms?

I guess that's not completely wrong, but ...

... the Federation is a pretty peaceful society, isn't it....

He's using threats of eternal damnation and violence. He's trying to restrict personal freedoms.

Can you blame them? The worst thing flying in their space is some croocked drug dealing physicians. The Empire on the other hand has to deal with human-flesh eating cultists like Mister Nauplius over there!

Tribes can be inter regional and don't necessary take issue to other race clan membership.

Other was the voice in the late Amarr empress mind.

Possibly Other and Red God Have spoken?

Tattoo and voluva markings currently are indistinguishable. "age"

Clan and Tribe knows.

Paradise , upper and lower hell you may find is a state of mind.

I can see where you're getting that, but considering his hierarchy of criminal acts, I think that description says maybe more about your priorities than his.

People can lead pretty tolerable lives without a lot of personal freedoms. Living without the blood in their veins is more of an issue.

But we're not talking about draining blood right now. We're talking about tattoos.

You're clearly not up to date on Nauplius' usual cycle of affairs.

Declaim something.

Build a structure for the punishment of said declaimed thing.

Bleed/punish/torture slaves to highlight God's wrath for said declaimed thing.

With Nauplius, almost everything ends in towers of death and despair.

Red God getting angry. Red God clearly has his priorities straight. Red God is most certainly not a projection of OP's deep-rooted insecurities.

Ugly tattoos cover pilots faces, nauplius' "god" doesn't like it, facial tattoos are most commonly on Matari pilots....... I think Nauplius as switched to secretly liking the Matari......

This "Red God" person sounds like a really petty individual.

"The Wrath of God is Immense. His Justice is Swift and Decisive. His Tolerance is Limited."

Well, based on that particular quote from The Scriptures, then it is somewhat of a difficult task to argue that God is not petty.

However, if we consider the words of a bunch of other scriptures, which I'm not going to quote right now, then you can indeed see that that is the case, and that your judgement was in error.

So, you are wrong. And God is Just. and so on and so forth. BLAMMO !

If I am not mistaken, Gallente Federation might have even more tatoo artists than Minmatar Republic. If I understand correctly, it is in the Federation where tattoos have artistic sense way more than in the Republic, where tattoos are made to display social status, achievements or failures of a person.

Hey there.

As someone who was actually sacrificed to the Red God by the Covenant in KFIE-Z and came back after standing before him, remade, I find the Red God's lack of burning wrath towards me disturbing.
