I additionally will not have my gracious hospitality insulted by the likes of you. Reconsider your comment or we settle this in space, for executions. Show me how I am mistaken on the matter and I will ofcourse apologise. Should you actually prefer the apology, I find private communications to work for mediation even between those with theological differences of opinion. As for the other parts of my clarification, you could have accepted my exceedingly polite responce to your invitation and avoided this particular unpleasentness entirely.
Just a quick question. Are you asking her to prove a negative here? Because, if that's the case, it's impossible. |

We're everywhere, Rodj my dear.
There's no need to make any special pronouncements - people should know by now that I take a dim view of people who claim to be loyal to the Empire (or indeed anyone else) who associate with heretics, criminals, blasphemers and other sundry undesirables.
I'll just have to compile my own list. Dulce et decorum est pro imperium mori. |

John is quite aware of my penchant for keeping a finger on the pulse of the underworld, and my very open-minded friendships with those who take part in it.
Feel free to remove another tenth of a point of standing though! I think I'm about due for another Disapproving Glare from you.

Just to make one thing clear. John doesn't mind who we talk to or visit with during social gatherings. He may not always take part in them, but he doesn't mind if we do. There's no reason we can't be civil and talk to people that we would otherwise shoot in space.

Its important to keep your bridges intact and your comms channels open, even with the folks you shoot at on a daily basis. You never know when something large is going to show up at someone's doorstep.
As to the party: expect to see Tarunik there, hopefully better tailored than last time, even. |

Even I have worked with PIE inc pilots on occasion, (in a particularly hilarious ferox loss to ava starfire if memory serves) do you want to put your own pilots on the list?
Come now Rodj, there is no reason to be like this, I will make it up to you, come have a dinner with me at the Fan Club HQ in stain, I am sure we would have a wonderful time together if you could get past your prejudices. The good folks at the True Creations station can be quite good hosts. |

We're providing a much needed social service to capsuleers at a time when such events are few and far between.
Mr. Sadik seems to think we'll be hanging corpses from the ceiling and killing civilians in front of the assembled.
Our event will be much more... wine, dancing, and good company.....we'll leave the hyperbolic mischaracterizations at the door.

You are mistaking Commander Sadik's point. He did not at all make any assumptions on what entertainment or lack their-of your party includes.
He merely pointed out that describing the request for people not to attend particular social event as "impossible standards" gives a funny picture about how essential a particular social event can be.
I would go further and say that especially if the event is about nothing but "wine, dancing and good company", posing it as that sort of essential is hilarious.

If you go back and look, it was about association rather than one specific party. Old man Rodj seemed to think that anyone associating with those whose loyalties he finds suspect makes that person list worthy. I found an impossible standard to not politely associate with those of opposing views when not in combat. I just think he is trying to be the fun police, I bet he even turns exotic dancers back into the Theology Council. |

There is a difference between interacting with your enemy when one really has to (diplomacy, prisoner exchange, etc), and outright partying with them. I think most who call themselves 'loyalists' of any faction or ideology should agree. If you have no problem dancing and singing with the slaughterers of your people, are they even your enemy at all? |

* CALL FOR COMBATANTS *
As part of the evening's scheduled entertainment, we will be showcasing some.... physical combat. Our guests will of course be safe at all times, and at no risk.
However capsuleers with staff, bodyguards, or associates they feel would be uniquely suited for this arena please speak with me regarding your interest.
Please consider however those that participate are at severe risk of death and dismemberment, based on individual prowess, of course. Capsuleers trained in the martial arts are welcome to participate of course, but at their own risk of losing a clone and all the lovely memories of the evening to that point.
In any case we promise a most exciting exhibition of skill and ability. |

*The holo-camera feed opens to a wide circular audience chamber with a domed roof, with panoramic windows to space encircling the room. Workmen with various construction equipment can be seen walking about and on ladders, with welding sparks falling to the floor in various places. Vitalia can be seen from behind reviewing some holo-schematics with an engineer*
.."No, idiot. If I wanted the anodized finish there I would have explicitly stated so. Do I look like some Crystal Boulevard trolop? Then why would I want that there? Be a good worker now and make these changes. Off you go" *shoos him away*
*turns to the the holo-camera*
"Ah hello my lovlies! As you can see construction is well under way here for our event! I wanted to give a friendly reminder that we've less than two weeks before show time! I hope you all have those dresses and suits on order, and are taking all the appropriate measures to be here in your finest. *smiles* Those invited guests will be receiving in-space coordinates for the event roughly 24-hours prior, so make sure to have those shuttles ready!
In any case he workers are just dying to get the place ready in time, so ta-ta for now!"

Final reminders and event coordinates will be dispersed in a few hours for tomorrow's party.
Our beautiful venue is ready, the staff willing and eager to cater to your needs, and all that remains are your smiling faces!
One minor adjustment, we are starting one hour earlier at 19:00 EVE, to accomodate some guests with tight schedules.
I hope you all have some lovely outfits selected, and I can't wait to see you all in your finest.
Ta-Ta until tomorrow!

I look forward to being in attendance if my health allows. My medical services contract requires that I have some sort of protection while outside of a Lai Dai station, however. Do you have a nationally-accredited security firm working for the event? I can bring my own if this is not the case and wouldn't be an issue.
Regardless, thank you for the unique opportunity! I look forward to the event. |
