So for a long time now I've been collecting a bunch of Lore information to aid our org in RP dialogue. I call it "Casual Lore," which is any Lore I consider "Common Knowledge." We all know what Pepsi and Coke are, we all know who The Beatles are, MOST of us know who our President/Prime Minister/Overlord is, so for conversational purposes, I started collecting all those kinds of tidbits so that we can bring it up casually in conversation to help with immersion and sounding like we're actually existing within the Star Citizen Universe! I'll be posting several iterations of these, and if you have anything to add to the list, let me know! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- AntiLaz (v) A contraction of “Anti-Lazarus,” any method of murdering someone to prevent the possibility of medical resuscitation or repair (such as shooting an ejection pod).
