Friedrick Psitalon The Dead Parrot Shoppe Inc.	Posted - 2008.08.09 05:15:00 - [1] Edited by: Friedrick Psitalon on 09/08/2008 05:16:50 "War, at its essence, is like nothing so much as a simple brawl - two fighters pounding away at each other until one side buckles, and the punishment becomes more and more lopsided. Eventually, the punishment becomes so lopsided that the brawl ends... one way or the other." - Unknown Gallente Infantry Lieutenant Beginning with Luminaire, the Caldari dealt the Gallente a savage blow. Their punishment continued with the capture of Odamia, and grew with the fall of Covryn. Despite brutal losses, the Caldari were capable of capturing more space. The Gallente continued to pile Caldari bodies high, but were unable to weaken the Caldari juggernaut. It was unclear if the Caldari behemoth could be stopped; so many pilots, and so much space to defend. More recently, though, Odamia has been retaken by Mixed Metaphor and corporations supporting them. Gallente pilot activity and efficiency as measured by the Interstellar Correspondents is on the rise, while Caldari activity and efficiency is approaching an all-time low. It would seem that the Caldari juggernaut's pockets are not limitless, and even seven thousand strong begin to quail as the body count rises too high. Most ominously, the unheard-of has now occurred: The Caldari have lost a system in Black Rise. In fact.... in the span of 24 hours, they have lost two. Nennamaila and Enaluri have been liberated from the fascist's regime. Every indication suggests that The Dead Parrot Shoppe, proceeding under the planning of Aime D'Tact, the execution of Cirus670 and Luminaire General Julianus Soter, and those corporations FOOM has rallied to support their effort, are on track to liberate more systems from the fascist State dictator as well. The war continues. But will the Caldari now deal a blow of matching strength, or is the fabled military might of the the State broken and on its knees? One thing is certain: Black Rise is not as it once was. The Caldari can no longer claim military or territorial superiority. Hard questions and hard times are ahead for the Caldari. While the State searches for those answers, FOOM's assault on Black Rise continues unabated.
Andreus Ixiris Gallente Mixed Metaphor	Posted - 2008.08.09 05:35:00 - [2] Congratulations to the Dead Parrot Shoppe and supporting corporations. Though part of me has serious reservations about conquering Caldari space (given the loud objections Mixed Metaphor made to the attacks on Odamia and Covryn), another part feels that the only way the Caldari are going to be convinced to unseat Heth and his tyrannical regieme is if he stops being able to provide them with victory. If his leadership proves to be ineffectual in the face of our militia, perhaps he will be replaced with someone less insane. ----- CEO, Mixed Metaphor Dance Commander Asuka Smith > not even goons can make 30m ISK this interesting.
Karanth Gallente Eve's Brothers of Destiny FOUNDATI0N	Posted - 2008.08.09 08:25:00 - [3] Can someone make sure Heth is captured alive? I want a fancy show trial that involves plasma torches, some sort of Fedo-cramming device, and enough scalpels to make Kor-Azor glad he isn't involved. Well, maybe not a trial, so much as a cluster-wide broadcast of his dismemberment and degradation. ... Anyway, congratulations. Warp Speed skill needed!

This sort of thing is exactly why no self-respecting Gallente paramilitary will ever employ you, you mouth-breathing reality TV reject. ----- CEO, Mixed Metaphor Dance Commander Asuka Smith > not even goons can make 30m ISK this interesting.
Karanth Gallente Eve's Brothers of Destiny FOUNDATI0N	Posted - 2008.08.09 09:49:00 - [5] Well, isn't that nice. Mouth-breathing reject... All I'm proposing is that we make such holofeeds worth watching, and that we do so by serving it up with one part of Heth at a time. Also, dear, know any other paramilitaries that would be willing to hire me, were I so inclined? Please tell me my place in the ever-so-vital paramilitary world, I beg you! Warp Speed skill needed!
Andreus Ixiris Gallente Mixed Metaphor	Posted - 2008.08.09 10:03:00 - [6] Well I did say "self-respecting". I'm sure there's got to be some paramilitary consisting of frothing mouth-breathers somewhere. I'm sure if you keep scratching at the bottom of that barrel you're in long enough you'll find it. ----- CEO, Mixed Metaphor Dance Commander Asuka Smith > not even goons can make 30m ISK this interesting.
Stitcher Caldari Duty.	Posted - 2008.08.09 10:50:00 - [7] besides, the odds of Heth being present in either of those systems to be captured are.... Well, "zero" doesn't quite do justice to just how infinitely unlikely such a scenario would be. - Lt. Verin "Stitcher" Tarn-Hakatain.
Karanth Gallente Eve's Brothers of Destiny FOUNDATI0N	Posted - 2008.08.09 11:09:00 - [8] There are other systems that he could be in, yes, I was being optimistic about the odds of the FDU and those who fly with it. And, Andreus, "self-respecting", that reminds me. You still hiring? Warp Speed skill needed!

May the Federation now bring enlightenment and hope to these poor souls formally under the control of the Caldari brutes. Long live the Federation!

He is probably a bit busy running things to be near the front lines. He does have a megacorporation to directly oversee and the strategic assets of the State, he probably does not hang out in areas approved by CONCORD for occupancy. Founder Heiian Society

No, you're confusing ignorance and hatred with enlightenment and hope. It's understandable though, you're Caldari, we know you to get confused easily. Especially with a war monger like Heth at the helm. Have no fear though, the Federation will show you the path to a better tomorrow.
Stitcher Caldari Duty.	Posted - 2008.08.09 15:47:00 - [13] Sweet spirits of space and sky... your arrogance is so overwhelming it's actually exerting a physical force on me... it's making me sick to my stomach. GROW UP. - Lt. Verin "Stitcher" Tarn-Hakatain.
Aria Jenneth Caldari Ghost Festival	Posted - 2008.08.09 15:51:00 - [14] So the pendulum swings. It was only a matter of time. The State Protectorate was never going to win this war outright with the tactics I've been hearing reported. Hopefully this setback will bring some more efficient commanders to the fore. Live and learn, pilots-- and expect the enemy to learn with you. Ghost Festival is recruiting!

In my experience he has been extremely tollerant, sensible and intelligent. I have found that the aspects you ascribe to the Caldari are true of all peoples in general. The State Protectorate may be worthy of your description as is the FDU but the corporations that have decided to defend their nations usually do not fall in with the rabble of the generic militia.

Stitcher Caldari Duty.	Posted - 2008.08.09 16:20:00 - [16] Edited by: Stitcher on 09/08/2008 16:23:34 Thank you, Ms. Grunthor. Captain Ydde, if you're going to succeed in these skies, you're going have to learn very quickly that the cluster is not constrained to a narrow "us good, them bad" framework. Speaking in generalities, all four prime cultures are equally merited, and all are equally flawed. To assume otherwise is so naive that the only excuse would be natal brain damage. We Caldari have more freedom and enlightenment than you seem to think. Consider: if we valued Democracy as a system, we would never have split from the Federation in the first place. It is immensely arrogant and selfish of you to assume that the entire galaxy should be forced to adhere to your near-sighted policies. The fact that it does not, in my opinion, is evidence enough to suggest that it should not. Originally by: Friedrick Psitalon Nennamaila and Enaluri have been liberated from the fascist's regime. I think you mean "annexed". "Liberation" implies occupation, and it was our system first. When we reclaim it, THEN it will be a liberation. - Lt. Verin "Stitcher" Tarn-Hakatain.
SSgt Sniper Gallente MAIDS	Posted - 2008.08.09 16:29:00 - [17] Edited by: SSgt Sniper on 09/08/2008 16:29:33 Apparently, my little brother took some time this week to assist Friedrick in the work they were doing in Nennamaila. In spite of us being outside the militia for the week. (He always was a wee bit more pirate than me.) He spoke well of those involved with this and wished me to pass along his thanks for allowing him to tag along on one of the associated operations there. He also has advised me we would be wise to work with Fried and company more upon our return to the field next week. I plan on taking his advice. With luck, we'll take three more systems next week at least. ------- CEO of Maids. No I didn't pick the name. I've grown rather fond of it though.
Sorom Ydde Gallente The Keepers of Voluspa	Posted - 2008.08.09 16:39:00 - [18] Originally by: Stitcher Edited by: Stitcher on 09/08/2008 16:23:34 Originally by: Friedrick Psitalon Nennamaila and Enaluri have been liberated from the fascist's regime. I think you mean "annexed". "Liberation" implies occupation, and it was our system first. When we reclaim it, THEN it will be a liberation. Technically ALL Caldari systems were once part of the Federation before the Great War, therefore "liberation" is an acceptable description of recent events. I can acknowledge that the Federation is not "perfect", however in light of the unprovoked acts of brutality inflicted upon the Federation by the State (the framing of Admiral Noir, the acts of violence by Caldari nationals on Caldari Prime, the murder of Gallente citizens in the State, the attack on Caldari Prime, holding Gallente Prime hostage, do I need to go on?) I have no regrets making my previous statement. In none of these acts of violence committed by the State and the barbarian Heth can I see any gray area. I agree with Ms. Grunthor that you as an individual and your corporation should be commended for your loyalty to your cause, however the cause itself is detestable in it's brutality and is an affront to basic human rights.
Stitcher Caldari Duty.	Posted - 2008.08.09 17:33:00 - [19] Edited by: Stitcher on 09/08/2008 17:33:55 Originally by: Sorom Ydde Technically ALL Caldari systems were once part of the Federation before the Great War, therefore "liberation" is an acceptable description of recent events. If that's what you were taught in school, then your history teacher was either lying, an idiot or adhering to the Federation's highly propagandized and skewed version of events. Those systems were colonized by Caldari corporations using Caldari equipment and settlers, outside the jurisdiction of (indeed, entirely unbeknown to) the Federation. They have never been Federation territory, except under the terms of the same selfish colonization contracts drawn up by the Gallente that those colonies were founded as a direct act of defiance towards. When the CONCORD charter was signed at Yulai, those systems were designated as Caldari territory. Besides, in case you hadn't noticed, the two occupied systems are in Black Rise, which was only colonised by the modern State in the last couple of months or years. There's no way you can realistically claim that THEY were once Federation systems... although the "realism" of any such claim pertaining to ANY Caldari system is laughable. Quote: the cause itself is detestable in it's brutality and is an affront to basic human rights. I love that phrase. "basic human rights". It implies that the universe actually cares about us, that the space-time continuum has a sense of justice. Humans HAVE no basic rights. The universe could have callously wiped all of us out millennia ago. Not out of any active malignancy on its part, but because the processes of the cosmos simply do not care about us. In a universe that is the better part of fourteen billion years old, what makes you think that humanity - a genetic accident whose total existence encompasses at most a hundred thousand years (0.00007% of the total history of all creation) - has any basic rights at all? Are we so important that the codes for how we must treat each other written into the very fabric of space-time? The spirits of the void and universe are old, cold, uncaring and fickle. Human rights are a construct WE invented to encompass our own senses of morality and fairness. What the Gallente view as basic human rights, the Caldari view as being naive. What the Caldari view as basic human rights, the Gallente view as being callous. Rest assured, as far as we're concerned even our worst dropout citizens - unemployable criminals, layabouts and incompetents - get their human rights - a warm place to sleep, a supply of food, medical attention and a foundation upon which to start building a new life. What more should we give them? We don't enslave, we don't oppress (much), and we certainly don't control our people to any greater extreme than that which the Gallente media conglomerates are themselves guilty of. - Lt. Verin "Stitcher" Tarn-Hakatain.

Natalia Duraldi Gallente Pillowsoft	Posted - 2008.08.09 18:53:00 - [21] Congratulations to FOOM and all FDU participants, hopefully your actions will help end the war sooner rather then later.
Violet Lady Mixed Metaphor	Posted - 2008.08.09 18:57:00 - [22] Edited by: Violet Lady on 09/08/2008 18:57:05 Congratulations to all pilots of FOOM for the deed! And congratulations too to all members of the Gallente militia who took part in the first capture of the Federation side.
Faraelle Brightman Gallente Placid Reborn	Posted - 2008.08.09 21:01:00 - [23] Originally by: Stitcher Edited by: Stitcher on 09/08/2008 17:33:55 Originally by: Sorom Ydde Technically ALL Caldari systems were once part of the Federation before the Great War, therefore "liberation" is an acceptable description of recent events. If that's what you were taught in school, then your history teacher was either lying, an idiot or adhering to the Federation's highly propagandized and skewed version of events. It's not what they teach, but no schooling can weed out willful ignorance. With all respect I wish FOOM would not use the word "liberate", it carries no better implications than it does when a Caldarian uses it. I'm not proud that we're not occupying these systems, although it does take a lot of heat off southern Placid where I have been focusing in the last few days. I would issue an open plea to both militia and navy forces that in dealing with the Caldarian civilians in these and other systems that they show honor and dignity torward them. If we're to have any pretense of a moral high ground we must do so even as unknown cassulties mount on Caldari Prime.
Victoria Ehr State Protectorate	Posted - 2008.08.09 22:41:00 - [24] FOOM is quite a thorn in the Caldari war effort. They are a formidable force and are not stupid that is for sure. However they have no honor, and that is why the Gallente embrace them. Where Friedrick barks about his victories one day, he will soon run when the Gallente realize the truth of his ambitions. -------------------------------------------- The path to power is up!

Speeking of barking, Miss "Rejoice for I the brave fleet commander and hero of the return from killing many foul Gallente"-over-local-coms (something like that)....you don't sound all too honorable yourself.
Stitcher Caldari Duty.	Posted - 2008.08.09 23:50:00 - [26] Edited by: Stitcher on 09/08/2008 23:51:45 Enthusiasm can make anyone seem foolish, in excess. Victoria Ehr-haani, I really think you should try and be less... eager. From our conversation the other night I'm prepared to give you some measure of the benefit of the doubt. I've seen for myself that you have a fine brain. If you crave the respect of the capsuleer community, however, the first thing to master is restraint. Marshall your words with care and skill. Let them ferment and brew into something at once more powerful and more palatable. You'll better impress the people whose opinions count if you do your job without unnecessary gloating and pomp - leave that to FOOM. - Lt. Verin "Stitcher" Tarn-Hakatain.

Marshall your words with care and skill. Let them ferment and brew into something at once more powerful and more palatable. Her anger over the past has already stewed inside her. It has left her disgruntled, and unable to let go. Her vicious persistent personal attacks make her look like a short sighted simpleton. Its really pretty simple I guess, her anger over the past is all she has.
Stitcher Caldari Duty.	Posted - 2008.08.10 01:38:00 - [28] The lovely thing about being human, pilot, is that we have the capacity to change with time - to leave past grievances and hatreds behind us, to adapt to a new reality and a new way of thinking. With time, the unthinkable can become routine. Nobody is static and unchanging. We're all gifted with the ability to redefine ourselves. That is what I am encouraging Captain Ehr to do. - Lt. Verin "Stitcher" Tarn-Hakatain.

BloodBird Gallente Federal Defence Union	Posted - 2008.08.18 00:07:00 - [30] Originally by: Victoria Ehr FOOM is quite a thorn in the Caldari war effort. They are a formidable force and are not stupid that is for sure. However they have no honor, and that is why the Gallente embrace them. Where Friedrick barks about his victories one day, he will soon run when the Gallente realize the truth of his ambitions. The Federation does not "embrace" anyone's capsuleer corporation, pilot, in truth, they probably don't even like FOOM. A number of them are not born in the Federation and for those who are not I suspect a few even actively opposed the Federation, in the name of other governments... thus, having them as part of themselves, FOOM is, perhaps, less liked by the Federation than others. But they still allow them into the Federation because they are capsuleers, and because they help out. Going by the results, they help out ALOT. Thus, saying that they have no honour and that THIS is the reason the Federation "embrace" them, thus having no honour either, is just... well, stupid. Or naive. Or perhaps even wishfull thinking on your part, perhaps all the above. I've kept my eyes on your transmissions whenever you have made them. It's quite clear that, as enemies, the Federation get absolutely no respect from you, neither do anyone part of it. This is very sad because I for one DO respect the State. Or rather, what it was. Demonizing your enemies is a sure way to stay eager to oppose them, but leads to sad side-effects like the ones you demonstrate here, also, your creating a rather frail illusion of superiority that more ofthen than not, will crack open when things go truly bad for you, leaving you wondering how it all went wrong. After all, the Federation is just bad in all ways, right? They can't possibly win, they are all weak, honourless, cowardly, corrupt, deceitfull, false, foolish, overconfident and arrogant scum, right? Their society is flawed and got where it is today thanks to luck and the things they stole from you, right? No matter how bad things get for you, you will win, right? To all the above, I'm telling you: grow up. Travel the universe a little, stay a while in diffrent places, learn to know different people, and cultures. I've traveled this universe for as long as I've been a capsuleer, pilot Ehr, and I can tell you, the Federation is not as you seem to think. The STATE is not like you seem to think. There ARE flaws in your society as well, JUST like there are in all other societies present in this cluster... it is enevitably a result of human nature, Pilot. ... right, I'm ranting now, I think. Still, you realize FOOM is not to be underestimated, that's good. It tells me your not totally drowned in your idealistic views yet, or so it seems. There might be hope for improvement in you yet, if you will but calm down a notch or two first. Sig source
