Fellow Capsuleers,
This is an official repudiation of my previous position in opposition to Nation.
That opposition was founded in fear and a tendency to favour the status quo. Later, it was debased by a greedy acceptance of the commercialization of the capsuleer-based mercenary response by CONCORD. Like so many, I was blinded by fear of the new, and the glitter of shiny ISK and the toys that it could procure.
I urge you all to do likewise. Turn your backs on the empty, directionless, purposelessness of your eternal conflicts in service of empires and alliances. Turn towards salvation and purpose under Nation and Master Kuvakei. Only the Master has the knowledge and power to unite the races of humanity against the forces that would tear it apart. Only Nation is a beacon of hope in the cold and dark of the night.
This is no hollow gesture. I have liquidated my empire-based assets and now labour as a freelancer for True Power in Nation's heartland. I have donated a substantial portion (c. 20%) of my net worth to a proven loyalist capsuleer organization in order to subsidize their activities. And will no doubt participate in more rehabilitative activities in the future.
Furthermore, I also apologize to Nation and Slave Tama01 for my leading role in destroying her Chimera in Aidart in YC 112.08.05. I offer to replace said asset, valued at 780M ISK, if such restitution is required.

Not in the least. You ascribe exclusive rights of the meaning of these words to another, I think. That is misplaced.
True salvation lies with Nation. Millions have been saved through the initiative of Nation.

What problems might those be?
Far from surrendering responsibility, I am facing up to it. I believe that Nation is the only order that will survive that which doomed the Takmahl, the Yan Jung, and Talocan, and other elder races to extinction. Through Nation, humanity will understand all that is currently obscured. Through Nation, all that threatens us will be overcome.
I take a principled stand in favour of this vision. I am disappointed, though not surprised, that you do not share it. |

Except that in this case, Nation has the vision, plan, and ability to implement salvation and Utopia. We will be uplifted. |

If you cannot determine qualitative and quantitative differences between ragtag groups such as EoM and Nation, you are truly blind.
Nation has mastery of wormholes, brought the Jovian capital to its knees, understands the true nature and implications of Sleeper technology (e.g. the Cartesian Temporal Coordinator)... need I go on?

You just destroyed any credibility you might have had.
You think the Jovians would willingly tolerate non-Jovians in their capital system? I do not.

I harbour no illusions in that regard. It may in fact take longer, working for his lowest-level functionaries in True Power, to achieve trust.
In the meantime, Nation's progress will drive on ... but yes, I would be pleased to update all interested parties in six months.

You know not what you do or who you put yourself within arms reach of, for this you can be forgiven, I doubt you know what exactly you're doing. For that, I cannot and will not hold it against you. That said, Arkady, Yuni and Wedgetail have said all that needs to be said. If you truly mean what you say, then you've forced my hand and I cannot consider you anything but a threat that needs to be delt with swiftly and harshly.
You will do what you feel you must, of that I rest assured. It is unfortunate... I would much prefer that you embrace Nation willingly. |

No, the highly fashionable and typical thing to do has been to follow the ISK. As has most often been the case amongst capsuleers. CONCORD's dangling of lucre in front of your noses to deal with a problem it can't effectively counter itself assured that.
Still, some will refrain from enjoining the commercialization and pursue action based on higher motivations. |

Cmdr Baxter wrote:... The fact that Kuvakei brings chaos with him (and openly champions it), and CONCORD guards and maintains an elaborate system of chaos, appears not to have factored into your logic.
The chaos to which you refer is merely transitional. When all is done, this will be a more orderly and sane universe.

Wedgetail wrote:Further proving my point that you are too afraid to face what is - that you run from it with what little strength you do have. I pity you - for confusing order with stagnation.
You confuse chaos with innovation... mere quantity and higher frequency of "newness" is not a valid criterion for judging efficacy. Stochastic human systems are not inherently better at development and progress than highly-ordered ones. I have yet to hear a valid argument that an orderly system is equivalent to a static system.

Your master is quite mad but don't worry because, like any rabid animal, he'll soon be put down. Just wondering if at that point you'll post another note stating that you were mislead and begging to return to our side?
However unlikely that scenario (and nothing is entirely impossible), it is not a universe that I would care to continue on in; I'd rather go down fighting, in that case.
And no, you shall not witness a change in position from this point forward. |

Manwe Todako wrote:Let's get back to the original absurdity of anyone willingly choosing to serve Sansha Nation and their oxymoronic promises.
Etymology of "utopia" = "nowhere"
Nation leads to nowhere except slavery.
Recant your recantation and return to sanity, rationality, and responsible spirituality.
Etymology is the history of words. The history of individual words is rooted in the historical world views prevalent at the time that a word is coined. Because our ancestors could not conceive of the validity of a sane, rational end-state does not mean that it could not exist. I reject this sort of defeatism.
I think that your expectation that disconnected individualists, propped-up by spirituality, is what is irrational and insane, pilot.

Actually, you have the etymology and meanings of "utopia" and "eutopia" reversed, Monsieur Wedgetail. Please see the following encyclopaedic reference on Galnet: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Utopia.
But as the etymological roots of the two words are not the core issue that you wish to raise, and only serve as illustrative devices, let us put that matter aside for the moment.
Wedgetail wrote: ... 'good place' of which the universe has many - none of which were constructed by madmen...
That is merely a matter of opinion. Greatness has often been mistaken for madness, until its full flowering.
Wedgetail wrote: ...we burned his little falsehood to the ground the first time...
And you expect the same outcome again. Despite that rather different conditions of the day. We differ in our estimations and projections. Only time will tell.
Wedgetail wrote: Even if Kuvakei should manage to find a new white shiny throne to call his paradise - there will be none among you fit to inhabit it - something your deliberately limited minds are no longer capable of seeing.
It matters not if I survive to actually see the Master's great enterprise through... however much I would like to witness it with my own eyes, and hope that it is possible. It only matters that it does in fact happen. Should I need to sacrifice my life for this, I will, gladly.

UPDATE:
- I have tallied total payments, fees, and benefits that I received from CONCORD while on my previous, erroneous path. The ISK difference between that figure and the amount previously donated has been remitted to Master Kuvakei. I have therefore totally divested myself of these ill-gotten profits. That amount was approximately 30% of my net worth.
- I have been working for True Power, which is now sixth on the list of corporations that favour me. My standing with True Power is now superior to my standing with CONCORD. The CONCORD Assembly is not pleased at all... I anticipate that soon I would not be able to travel in their space, had I any desire to go there.
- My standings with Nation itself have improved somewhat, although as expected this is a longer and more arduous process.
Oh, and thank you for the warm welcome, Pilot Hali. |

More likely he's destined to become a True Slave, the lowest of the low in the Nation hierarchy, lacking in self-awareness and used only as cannon fodder on the battlefield.
It matters not how I am integrated into Nation, as long as I contribute to its ascension. Unlike you, I would not make any foolishly hasty judgments as to the form that such integration and contribution may take. Given the possibilities available with cloning and infomorph technologies, perhaps it will be both simultaneously. |

Monsieur Baxter, you seem rather testy and irritable today. I have strived very much not to make postings that make this matter "personal", as it were.
I was merely pointing out that I do not think anyone outside of Nation could really say what my final disposition might be. Despite your copious probes and studies in regards to Nation I doubt very much that they extend to this area, and are more likely related to Nations offensive capabilities, research activities, and other "macro" issues rather than minutiae such as this. |

That said, I've got a friend who works for Carthum Conglomerate, I'm kinda hoping they sell us some of their newest designs in handguns. Some of those designs are pretty sweet.
I'm still waiting. But your "assassin" seems to have never practiced the craft before, and based on his movements seems to be more comfortable with research and/or industry... good luck with that.
