Reading the News from Eve, such as the recent 'liberty' pill line of stories from Scope, how does/can that affect me as a player? I can understand the recent Sansha news with upcoming hostilities, but the 'liberty' pill or the picketing of the 'plantation' play confuse me? thanks!

CCP uses the news for a few things.
- Letting us know whats up with the big wars. Players contribute to these stories, and marketeers can get big money playing wars the right way.
- Back Story. To enrich the lore of EVE.
- Slow leaks. Wormholes, Cosmos, Boosters, Sansha MOM. These have been things that pop in a few times, then come out with the next expansion. Over time if you keep an eye, you can start to see when some oddity gets mentioned a few times and guess correctly it will be integrated into the EVE game.
- Promoting EVE new! Eve Bank, BOB gettin eaten from the inside, MC breaking out of BOB, GoonSwarm colapsing, all of these major EVE-Culture items have been stories too.
- Give you something to look at while logging in.
