Hello, all capsuleers crazy enough to still read IGS.
Having been otherwise engaged for a couple of years and now having come fully back, I have noticed a significant shift in how the public Summits of capsuleers are these days: it has become much harder to see people take anything seriously.
Sure, there were always nutcases and jokes and shady associations and innuendo and what have you.
But it seems that these days there is increasingly a public competition of who makes the best quip or has the fanciest dress or shows the least passion for their fights. The undercurrent of life and death is limited to Sabik competing about who is most Sabik (amusing at first but gets old fast, sorry) and Diana Kim hating the Federation (at least some things never change).
So, in this thread, I dare you to tell me what you take seriously.
You can choose to interpret that any way you like, but if you have difficulty, here's some questions to help you to find the answer: What do you wake up for in the morning? What still makes you cry? What would you kill for? Who would you save or kill, if you could? What do you most regret having failed at? What still makes you proud to remember? |

I take the health of my corporation and alliance very seriously, both in terms of combat and financial health and cultural. I also take any word or bond with other organisations very seriously, there are far too many free targets and enemies in this cluster to consider the reprehensible act of betrayal.
I think that sums up the core of what I take very seriously.

Why the bloody hel do I want to take anything but a few things I am passionate about in the IGS seriously when space and planetside activities can get stressful enough?

I like the humour that pops up once in a while. It serves as a nice break in between the hate and mudslinging. Humour is something that can connect people and I hope it helps breaking down some of the distance.
As for your question. I value the wellbeing of my clan and my family. Many things that I do as capsuleer is for their benefit and I feel I have a responsiblity since I was bestoved both massive wealth and power.

May I respectfully suggest that if you do not want to take anything seriously, you might want to be in some other thread?

Politics tire me, especially considering the kind of mess the four nations get into all the time. I rather spend my mental resources on simpler things. Like drawing better circuits or improving/designing mechanical systems.

God, my integrity, my family and friends, my people, my home. That's a short list of the most important things.
In a broader sense, I take too many things too seriously. |

I take honesty in dealings seriously.
I take personal loyalty and betrayal between myself and those close to me seriously.
I take my oaths seriously.
Everything else is secondary to that.

For faith is your armor
And through it, the enemy will find no breach
Wrap your arms around the enemy
For faith is your fire
And with it, burn away his evil"

I'm serious about Things that affect the whole of Empyrean space, but not individual factions. I withdrew from the Empires into WH space as I basically hate the politics. This does not mean that I have withdrawn from defending all of the citizens of the Empires though.
Aside from that I take parties seriously, we get enough death and destruction in our daily existence, so anything that brings us more in touch with humanity is a good thing. |

Lady, you of all people know how ridiculously seriously people take politics.
There's 'serious' business, and there's 'SERIOUS' business.

Truth, and martial readiness. I'd take humor seriously too, but there's a kind of self-defeating paradox at work there..

I find politics to be a theatre of the absurd, played to the delusions of the masses. Unfortunately it's the consequences of this that are very very serious for a great many people. |

Harder to see people take anything seriously? I can count at least 10 threads which are mostly "serious business" on the first page alone. If you ask me, some quips lightening the mood here and there are nothing but welcome.
I wake up with the weight of my clan on my shoulders, every time. Being the only capsuleer in our clan, there are millions of people who look up to me, regard me as their saviour, the one to deliver them to greatness of days past, pummeled by expectations from every direction, both from baseliners and unnamed empyreans. I take that responsibility and those expectations seriously. If I make a joke here and there to calm myself and maybe brighten someone elses day I don't want to be whipped about it. |

I see we have that in common. Even though there are groups in my clan that would rather have me expelled or killed, the majority still sees me as their guardian. I take their safety uttermost serious, however the wellbeing and prosperity is just as important. I have been involved and funding several teraforming projects and I take pride in aiding both nature and man to flourish in the otherwise barren deserts.
However my clan does also give much in return. My mum and the other mystics offer the best guidance I could ever wish for and the love I get from my fellow clan members is worth it all plus more.
