Well, there IS a rather good tailor on Renaissance, but in fact I just returned to highsec, briefly.

Guess we're both suckers for fashion

Also, I'm going to go ahead and claim that I pull this look off the better of the two of us.

I used to wear a beard, but it got to the point where I could actually shave using Verin as a mirror.

Anyway, yes, you look wonderful Verin. Maybe a little tired around the eyes, but other than that...

I'm sorry but you both look like EVA jockies fixing my ships hull.

And now I'm going to go cloak up in a system very very far away from you both for about a week.

In conventional Gallente holo-drama Entertainment series, the "Evil Twin" of a male Character is Often portrayed with a Beard, to aid in viewer Recognition of which Character is in view.

Thus, Pieter is the Good Twin, and Stitcher is Clearly the Evil Twin.

Was this Evil Twin from this holo-drama a traitor as well?

The Evil Twin generally Opposes Everything that the Good Twin stands For.

So, I would say that Yes, the Evil Twin is usually a Traitor to Something.

Pieter, I refer to Pator, the creator, not Pator the star. The star is named for the mythic figure, not the other way around, and the legend goes that eons ago, long before all of this came to be, that creator delivered unto us the gift of writing - this legend states that this happened long before we discovered any form of space travel, of course.

Are you sure you "accidentally" entered a flesh club?

That makes total sense to me, Kyllsa. Naupilus suggested that the Matari didn't develop their form of writing themselves, but had it given them by the Amarrians. That was what was confusing me...

They seem to differ with accepted historical accounts from all other sources. I'm a simple pilot, religion often confuses me, but I was able to check sources on the Imperial Navy account and they seemed to be verified.

What in the Maker's name is "flesh club"?..
Somehow I just imagined a huge blunt weapon, probably spiked, made of fresh bloody animal meat, but I think it was an incorrect representation, since you can't physically enter it.

That's funny, in our culture, we call it the 'red bar' or 'red club'

Interesting how apparently some things are universally colour coded.

Just to note and to confirm, the Minmatar had a fully fledged interstellar empire before they ever met the Amarr. Of course, the Amarr Empire was bigger and more technologically advanced, and also expansionistic, which generally doesn't bode well for people who happen to exist in the same physical space the bigger empire wants to take.

So yes, the Minmatar had writing, unless Nappy is taking the particularly strange view that Minmatar writing 'doesn't count' because it is not Amarrian.

Food for thought: a civilization that achieved not only spaceflight, but interstellar spaceflight, without written language, would not be something to take lightly.

Mostly because there's very little reason for a civilization advanced enough to have the capability for spaceflight, to not have written language - unless they simply didn't need it because they had something better.
