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.

True salvation lies with Nation. Millions have been saved through the initiative of Nation.

heheh I never figured you for being so unable to save yourself from your own problems that you would feel the need to run to nation are you now so incapable of standing on your own two feet that you need to surrender responsibility to someone else? |

They're hollow rhetorics meant to disguise the inability of a group to deal with others simply being different or have other opinions. There mere idea that you have to beat up everyone else until they agree with you shows a remarkable lack of self-confidence and a rather childish mindset.
Getting told by the umpteenth group of lunatics that they will bring TRUE salvation, contrary to all the others who said that they will bring TRUE salvation, is getting kinda old. |

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. |

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?

HAHAHAAHAHAHAHA you really don't have the vision to understand do you gaul? I'll give you a hint: are you not of human origin? a part of the species? or do you see yourself as being something beyond what you are?
regardless of what 'faction' we are under we are all the same we all have the same deficiencies and Kuvakei is no exception - admittedly the man was among the stronger of minds our species has encountered but the fool is lost to his own fear and impatience - said fool and those who follow cannot stomach the thought of human evolution sorting itself out he fears what is to come and he fears the result he cannot predict. the truly wise among us do not. for there is no need.
his fear of humanity's fate is so overwhelming that he strives to ESCAPE being what he his to do what the jove did before him and become something that is not human any longer - the jove doomed themselves with their foolishness and so will he.
the jove however chose their fate and did not force it upon any other - Kuvakei will take as many down with him as he can before he realises his folly.
Your legs are incapable of bearing the weight of your own self on humanity's course let alone capable of supporting those around you - so you need to suckle off kuvakei's teat in order to stay your place in the breeze? worthless is he who lacks the spine to walk the path with those placed at his side. lost are those who cannot hold strong to those around them regardless of what doom they may face.
If anything it is Kuvakei that needs to open his blinded eyes and stand beside the rest of his species! we will show him his fear is of naught but ghosts. |

Where does it say this is their capital system?
Also, you may remember an incursion by a certain spiky person that was completely wiped out and removed in under 24 hours. Attacking jove space doesn't tend to go very well. |

This is because capsuleers who side with Nation eventually find themselves dealing with thieves and morons (Ghost Hunter, Drake Arson, IzzyChan). Leadership is passive, incompetent, and dishonest. Kuvakei could've done something about that, but chose to ignore certain concerns. Sadly, refusing to deal with these idiotic leadership figures meant no more direct communication with official Nation representitives, making further service a disheartening prospect.

Oh, what is this? This almost sounded like a threat. I didn't know you had it in you, that is almost cute.
And It isn't turning against reason at all, you logic is flawed, perhaps you require maintenance? I hear the good people in T-8UOF would be willing to examine you, and see to it that you see True Reason. You simply don't understand what is best for people, allow yourself to be enlightened. |

An unsurprising turn of events. Yet another capsuleer without the stomach - and backbone - for a long, drawn-out war, settles for fleeing into the enemy camp. Nobody likes, or fully trusts, a turncoat. Write back in six months to tell us just how much of your Master's trust you've earned, Gaul. Although just how much of "you" remains will be open to debate. Implants and behavioral reconditioning do have that effect ... Commander S. Baxter (CN) CEO, The Synenose Accord |

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.

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. |

CONCORD levied capsuleers into a proxy military force. One of the first rules of warfare is to adapt to changing situations. Someone, probably in the Inner Circle, was well aware of this and successfully adapted existing systems to what would have otherwise been a desperate tactical situation. For such a masterful play, they have my respect. At one stroke CONCORD set back Kuvakei's plans by at least nine months, and bought breathing room for the five empires and baseliners everywhere.
But going beynd this, was it frustration at CONCORD's preservation of the "status quo" of the last nine months that drove you into the Nation camp, I wonder? Or was it the fact that everywhere you looked, all you saw was capsuleers blindly following a trail of ISK, and thus fighting against what you apparently view as inevitable? 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. Commander S.

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.

do you know why innovation occurs? do you know what causes it? i Imagine you do or at least you should if you've paid even a moment's thought into the idea <-- oh whoops gave it away, my bad. :)
What Kuvakei creates is not order - it is stagnation. he does not foster new ideas he silences them. where to pool ripples he stills it. I would sooner face destruction from whatever unseen force you are all so readily wetting yourselves in fear of then see our species reduced to such a worthless state.
You however are already too blinded, your mind too limited to see anything beyond the most simple of crayon pictures. so i doubt you will be able to comprehend the meaning in this post any better than you could my more detailed ones.
I will leave you to ruin yourself however you see fit if that is your choice - I doubt Kuvakei will even need to waste the time hacking out your brain to limit your capacity to think as he does with the others, you're already incapable :) |

A Threat oh heavens no, I was merely trying to get our unit friend to go to someone who can better describe the best interests of humanity to her. I am only trying to look out for people. All of my actions are being motivated by my own sense of goodwill towards others, even if that isn't terribly clear from the outside.
I don't buy the self hating thing either, the more I think about it, I am one of the few of my background who really wants to do what is good for everyone rather than just a tribe or a family, so they are wrong and I am right. Merely they make me look bad you see, it makes it difficult sometimes to have associations with my own race at times, but it isn't that I am self hating, it is they are too shortsighted and selfish.
As far a treachery to the empire goes, I don't shoot fellow ships in the Crusade, and I do shoot them from the Tribal Liberation Force, this seems to be fine more or less to the Empire. I don't think they really expect too much more out of capsuleers, after all I have been faithless for some time now, that doesn't mean I can't appreciate or defend faith though, merely I don't have it. As far as other sovereign entities I preform work for, I generally decline such work against the Amarr empire as it would be a conflict of interest, so you see no treachery is involved and everyone benefits.
And Jason no need to apologize, from your limited perspective of my activities, I am sure I look like a beacon of hypocrisy. |

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.
GÇöIkarus GaulGÇö If you wish to turn from the avarice and emptiness of greed that prevails in Capsuleer space, why turn to the violence and slavery of the nation? There are so many other ways to have a life of significance and conscience. The Disciples of Ston reject the base values of greed and violence, so can you! |

Hello new boss, same as the old boss.
At the least, the destruction of materials liberates them to be used as others - perhaps with more straightforward and level-headed ideas - in ways that neither the status quo nor the challengers to it see fit.
In fact I am seeing capsuleer-piloted Nightmares going up against Sansha forces more often, if not for other things. |

That kind of answer definitly does not constitute an eulogy to your intelligence. Considering the debates we have had previously, I thought you were worth much more than that.
I think I was not clear enough : I am not an amarrian loyalist. You can discuss it endlessly refering to my previous records without any true real knowledge of it in mind, but my current and actual records are clear enough.
Though your pathetic reaction is quite revealing of your usual bias trying to take out of any unrelated statement the smallest bit of PR profit for your personnal vendettas against Amarr and your expectable hypocritical agendas.
So, in case I was not clear enough :
- My desire to help New Eden does not lie in oppression nor slavery, but in science and evolution. But I suppose this is what monsters usually think. - I share most of your views and demands regarding the Empire. If you want to know what keeps me continuing endlessly to argue against your statements, you just have to look at your bias and hypocrisy of pots calling kettles black. |

You are aware, that one can fight against the TLF, without being an Amarrian loyalist themselves right? Nor does ones faith they practice have a bearing on their loyalty to the empire or not.
I know that wasn't directed at me at all, but I felt the need to respond since one could make similar claims about my corporation, being a member of the Crusade. I am not someone who you should consider an Amarrian loyalist, and while I have a certain admiration for the Empires culture, I am also faithless. However, I think anyone looking out for the best interests of others though would think it wise to help curtail these terrorists that call the TLF home, they are dangerous and in many circumstances criminals as well. To this end, I work for the Empire, but I do take a critical eye to their laws and customs, I certainly am not an unquestioning servant, more like a paid subcontractor. There are only a few people in all of New Eden I would listen to unquestioning of what they ask of me.

As I said, you can discuss my previous records, though I will definitly not agree with your views on this. Do someone that works for the Caldari Navy is systematicaly a Heth or a provist loyalist, trying to crush the Gallentean culture ? Do someone that works for the Republic Fleet always support the current republican regime ? Reasoning with black and white broad statements like you and Sadik are used to do may make your moral compass easier to grasp, but it does not make your mindset detached, wise and exhaustive - quite the contrary. Following your reasoning, someone of any culture that does not follow the patriotist mindsets of his/her own culture is not part of this culture ? What nonsense is that ?
Anyway, I shall correct you on several things if you do not mind :
- I fought against the TLF contesting amarrian territory, and that is all. Eventually, I fought for the statu quo, not for the Empress' war whims, nor for the old dusty Reclaiming patriots (hence here, orthodox Amarrians).
- In that regard, I could have fought for the TLF in Minmatar space either as I stated somewhere else on the old IGS, but my background and current condition offered much more possibilities for me to act in the Amarrian side. Please remember that I have also fought for the Gallente against piracy before, so you will probably understand that the thing I have always found very sad is indeed factionnalism.
- I only defended the litteral version of the Amarrian Faith, not the interpretated one of the orthodox mindset.
Therefore, captain Sadik's assertions are false, or caricatural at best.
Sorry, but including me in the conservative amarrian mindset by blanket meaningless statements or calling me a monster because it suited you might be entertaining, but it remains false. |

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.

You consistently miss the point...still Gaul...after all this time... and Manwe, you missed the 'e' mate :) the word means 'good place' of which the universe has many - none of which were constructed by madmen...unless of course the creator of the universe is mad, but that's another topic of discussion altogether.
Kuvakei though leads to eutopia meaning 'no place' - somewhere that does not exist. It does not exist because we burned his little falsehood to the ground the first time.
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.  |

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.

No, I am not kidding. I am fed up to see people mixing personnal actions AND words WITH the actions of the entities they are part of.
You are not learning : you are still adressing me by "you Amarr" when I actually am no part of Amarr. You are not reading either : yes, the Knighthood reclaim Minmatar systems even more than PIE Inc does (have you even seen PIE Inc in military complexes the past years ? They did it barely for one year and moved on). And yes, both hide behind the flag to help pirates and privateers on the warzone. Does that mean that everyone being a part of them condone this ? Does that mean that everyone of their members actually support this ? Same, if someone is a Caldari citizen, does that mean that he/she supports provists actions or the reconquista of Caldari Prime ? If someone is a Gallente citizen, does that mean he or she supports the blackeagles ? Or back in the past, if someone was a citizen of the Republic, does that means he or she supported Midular's policies ?
Your tendancy to put every political party of an entitty in the same basket continues to baffle me.
Someday I saw some kind of Caldari caricature on an holofeed. It was portraying two [caldari] people discussing :
"Nice to meet you. Are you caldari ?" "Yes indeed." "So you are for the war on Caldari Prime ?" "Uh... not really." "So you are not caldari." "But yes, I am caldari !" "So you are for the war !"

If you are voluntarily part of an organization, you at least in part condone their actions. You can not voluntarily be part of a corporation and completely distance yourself from their actions - your actions are theirs, and their actions are yours.
Equating membership in a capsuleer corporation (an entirely voluntary and easily changed affair) with citizenship in a nation (which is difficult to get rid of or change, if you can at all) is not helpful, by the way. Equating it with racial association (something you do not choose at all) even less so.
And yes, if someone voluntarily joins the Caldari State military after the State declared war on the Federation, I will ask her why she supports the war, and I feel rather justified asking that question.
Quote:you are still adressing me by "you Amarr" when I actually am no part of Amarr. This, on the other hand, is entirely a fault of my own. Apologies, I will try to remember this. |

Yes indeed, this is the crux of the disagreement.
And no, my actions of course reflect on the corporate image, thus even if the corporation is not condoning or supporting them, they at least silently support them by doing nothing when they disagree.
Their actions at the contrary, are not mine. This is just a logical fallacy you are doing here. How can they be mine when I am not even part of them, or doing them ? This is a logical nonsense, and I perfectly know from what it comes from. But stating "My corporation did something so I was part of it" is just ludicrous in a pure form of logic.

Yes, it does not equate it, though my analogy is still valid. You can perfectly join any entity because you share the majority of what they stand for (well, it was my case at the beginning, at least), and work to change the things you do not agree with. This is why most organization have councils to discuss their policies. |

I do believe in shared responsibility. If the group you voluntarily are part of commits an action, you at least tolerate that action, and if you are neutral in a situation of injustice, you have chosen the side of the oppressor.
But I think it's best if we agree to disagree at this point, though. I doubt either of us will convince the other. At least I have tried to explain my position as well as I can, and as it feels "absolutely obvious" to me and you still disagree, I suspect we have some very basic differences there that will be difficult to bridge in a public discussion. |

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.

In such a situation, it's not too confusing to grasp to the last straws to find that elusive happiness.
Scientific notes, official reports, and intelligence briefings do not really matter to a desperate man. |

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. |

This.
As it applies to capsuleers, to me Nation seems little different than a personality cult backed with cutting edge will-suppression technology. And like every other cult, it preys upon the vulnerable and the unhappy, those with a weak sense of identity, in need of a quick fix for their perceived problems.

Honestly I don't get why people are feeding this guy. I gave up on trying to convince Nationals of just about anything other than that they'd look good with a bullet in their skull. Whats done is done.
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.

Yes indeed, instead of trying to work to change something, he would rather prefer to do nothing instead of joining a group with similar ideals, but with little differences.
I think, by the way, Mr Sadik, that you have grave delusions on the basic human conditions : everyone is different. If you look continuously for the exact mirror of yourself (which is a part of narcissism, by the way), you might experience difficulties to find a lot of people to work with, and eventually, you will end up in a regressive state of ideology with everybody agreeing on everything.
Oh, of course, I could have done like you : turning my weapons or my ideals against the few little disagreements here and there (which were basically about Scriptures or philosophical concepts, not even external ideological stances or RoEs). Very usefull indeed, instead of trying to change minds, I would have started to kill capsuleers in space. Very useful and meaningful, really.
Now then, I understand your point and there are limits to everything. This is also why I left in the first place : RoEs, realpolitik, and despicable allies. It was acceptable before for the simple reason that these problems were either nonexistent, or neglectible.
Edit : if you wish to continue this discussion, I think it would be better to open a new topic here concerning the militia's morality in general, and their partisans. |

The communication screen goes completely black. Not a flicker, not even a shimmer of static is seen, but yet a whispering voice as if coming from a child is heard faintly.
"And so as all candles burn, so does this one that has been given the name of Ikarus...
A question must be asked, when does a candle burn out? When it runs out of oxygen? Yes, yet that is the answer for a simple mind, and it is the answer that I expect most if not all to answer with.
The true answer; Once the wick is no more.
For a candle without a wick is useless, meaningless, having no purpose.
I care not for the assumed length of the wick of this candle that has been given the name of Ikarus. I care not even for the candle itself. This candle that has been given the name of Ikarus, burns brightly, yet amusement begs me to query... Is this mass of nothing aware of where the wick is being trimmed?
The dark cold embrace of nothingness, how I cherish it so... Come to me, mass of nothing, join the nothingness from which I am." |

Sadly much evil is brought into the world by people who think they are doing good.
How about if everybody decided to be left alone and leave everybody else alone, and put a bullet in the head of anyone who breaks that rule?
Simple. I love simplicity.

Though I think the quote Mr. thagriin was using is usually read with the implication that one side of the injustice actually asked for help.
The original argument this referred to here was about Lyn Farel being a member of a very prominent Amarr Militia corporation which has been actively fighting in the Republic to reclaim my people, and at the same time claiming that she herself is opposed to the war of conquest against the Republic. I told her that that is difficult believe, considering her employer at that time. This has changed, so her position is much more believable now. (She is still quite upset with me, though.)
Also, not quite on-topic in this thread. |
