Episode 16's question:  What was the name of the first race conquered by the Amarr?

Answer: the Udorians

Congratulations to Swelter, @theexperienceD, @eve_Rhavas, and Saint Chuthulu, who all got the answer!

This Episode's question: During the 10th anniversary of Eve, Hilmar told a story about the early days of Eve Online. What mechanic was being abused that opened his eyes to the true potential of the game he was making?
