Phyridean's Pub Quiz

Answer to last episode's question: The Arbitrator and Vexor, which still have those mining bonuses

This episode's question: My friend recently got the symbol of the Amarr empire tattooed on his left forearm, and I joked that he actually got two tattoos. Why is that?

And no, it's not because it includes the symbols for both "God" and "Man"

Retrospective

Module Tiericide released in Oceanus

Last Episode, we talked about Module Tiericide, and then the first pass of Module Tiericide dropped a couple days later. We talk about what's changed since our last discussion.
