[03:21:01] * Guinar has kicked CGEN_Orikan from #cmg-empire (Seems I returned just in time.) --- <PRE_Kynnovan> A friend of mine studied economics, but he dropped out recently. <PRE_Kynnovan> He wanted to be a banker, but you could say he lost interest.

In-Character "Greatness is not a stationary pinnacle. It is not some solid foundation one which one may plant an intrepid flag and then cease all labors for having conquered the goal. No, greatness is achieved again and again in a perpetual hunt for excellence. Each time excellence and greatness are captured, they slip once again out of grasp like an elusive fey, demanding to be caught yet again. It takes no less than an Imperial to courageously embrace the tantalizing dilemma. Listen then, and recognize that you are an important part of the whole, exerting your will into existence; your efforts are writing the pages of history. Be encouraged that in many ways, across vast regions of space, Imperials are always advancing the standard." — Grand Vizier Ventidius
