    I'm torn. At first I thought the idea of a police Cutlass was dumb, but then I realized that I could re-enact Super Troopers for everybody's my amusement.

    Here's what the email looks like:

    If you don't want RSI to forward you organization invites maybe there's a way to turn it off in your profile.

    That looks like a standard "you have received a new invite" mail, such as many other websites send you when you get one in their social systems. Maybe a bit misleading in terms of composition, but still... I've received a couple of invites already, and never thought I was being mailed directly by RSI ;)

    Nope, because... people. It's fully believable that one of the primary systems/planets we populate would get named something like Terra or New Earth or something silly like that. I mean we've proven to be oh so original with naming our cities and such as is. :P

    While everyone is busy getting rich or looking for exploit to grief traders, I'll be secretly putting every ressource I have into the jump point exploration mini-game so that everyone will one day have to groan heavily and go through the experience of "Alright squadron, we're meeting up in the 'solar' system! What do you mean which one? No, I obviously meant the system actually named 'solar', not the...WELL GET OUT OF THERE AND COME HERE!"

    The first planet in the Taranis system is a typical sunkissed inner dwarf, too hot for Human settlement, totally lacking in atmosphere and largely devoid of minerals or other interesting resources. The planetoid was the source of an unusual incident in the mid 25th century: a review of the initial survey data (radar scanning, interferometry and long range imaging) produced an image with what looked distinctly like a Human face superimposed on the planet’s north polar region. The so called “Face of Taranis” was a brief cultural craze on Earth and ultimately inspired a privately funded expedition to the world to confirm that the picture was simply a mountain range photographed from an unusual position. Conspiracy theorists continue to insist that the government is covering up evidence of an alien civilization living there (despite the ready proof that sentient species exist throughout the galaxy today).

    Yes, turn left at the Reproductive System, through the 420Blazeit nebula and then right at the #yoloswag cluster.

    The thing is, he doesn't say "Erf." He says "Earth," like, super clearly.

    At some point I guess some racist person decided "eh, he's black, he probably said Erf because that's how black people talk, right?" and somehow it caught on.

    Yes, I'm perfectly aware of that, and I wasn't referencing that at all. I was referring to the Nerf slogan "It's Nerf or Nothin'".
