Andreus Ixiris Gallente Mixed Metaphor	Posted - 2010.08.09 18:57:00 - [1] Originally by: Tomahawk Bliss does ITTigerClawIK know what a douche he shares corp space with? You know, I've often asked ssuLost, Frozenfoxy and Declin Mactire the exact same thing. ----- Andreus Ixiris CEO, Mixed Metaphor
Andreus Ixiris Gallente Mixed Metaphor	Posted - 2010.08.09 19:46:00 - [2] Originally by: Tomahawk Bliss i wasn't aware you had joined DX4... I wasn't aware you'd joined Galactic Rangers. Originally by: Tomahawk Bliss poor simple Andreus, if you'd back off that lilt affectation, stop throwing tantrums and get a handle on your insecurities you might be tolerable. Perhaps if you weren't a backstabbing coward who can't get his loyalties straight for ten seconds, learned to keep your promises, didn't... ah, hell, who am I kidding? You'd still be a complete bastard. ----- Andreus Ixiris CEO, Mixed Metaphor
Andreus Ixiris Gallente Mixed Metaphor	Posted - 2010.08.09 20:04:00 - [3] Originally by: Jade Constantine Tomahawk Bliss has never been a coward and to my knowledge has never been renowned as a backstabber either. I notice you didn't correct me about his well-known ten-second loyalty attention span, though... ----- Andreus Ixiris CEO, Mixed Metaphor
Andreus Ixiris Gallente Mixed Metaphor	Posted - 2010.08.09 21:05:00 - [4] Originally by: The Cosmopolite Probably because it is too absurd to even give a moment's consideration. You obviously haven't read his corp history. If you thought Eran Mintor or Ankhsetwhatshername switched sides often... ----- Andreus Ixiris CEO, Mixed Metaphor
Andreus Ixiris Gallente Mixed Metaphor	Posted - 2010.08.09 21:42:00 - [5] Originally by: The Cosmopolite So I do continue to think it's an absurd thing to say about him. Right, because Eran Mintor can't ever turn back to the Minmatar after having been in the Amarr for a while - he'll always be a blood traitor. But after having served in such... "illustrious" corporations as the Ubiqua Seraph, Aegis Militia and INTAKI UNION (a corporation who claimed to seek independence for the Intaki but in truth were full of terrorists, murderers and ne'er-do-wells, dedicated to selling the homeworld into the hands of first the Amarrians, and now the Caldari - no seperatists they, but traitors and bastards to the last man), as well as the State Protectorate and various other Caldari coporations... I'm not saying I haven't changed corporations in my past but my loyalties always laid with the Federation. Perhaps Tomahawk is the same. But there are some pretty nasty conotations to that statement... ----- Andreus Ixiris CEO, Mixed Metaphor
Andreus Ixiris Gallente Mixed Metaphor	Posted - 2010.08.10 12:51:00 - [6] Originally by: Jade Constantine collaborators and quisling organizations like Annwn Matari. I trust you have a similarly poor standard of proof for Annwn Matari's "collaboration" as you do for my own. ----- Andreus Ixiris CEO, Mixed Metaphor
Andreus Ixiris Gallente Mixed Metaphor	Posted - 2010.08.10 13:03:00 - [7] Originally by: Jade Constantine I said you were an Amarrian boot-licker rather than a collaborator. I don't think the Crusaders would trust you enough to actually cooperate with you in any proceedure beyond having their footwear cleaned by your tongue You really rather have an obsession with boots. I'm not entirely sure that it's the IGS business really, what you do in the privacy of your own pod, but I'm certain it's not the IGS' desire to know. I also noticed that you neatly evaded the question of what proof you have regarding Annwn Matari, but I really shouldn't expect anything other than blatant hypocricy from the valentire agent space hooker, should I? ----- Andreus Ixiris CEO, Mixed Metaphor
Andreus Ixiris Gallente Mixed Metaphor	Posted - 2010.08.10 13:49:00 - [8] Originally by: Jade Constantine Why do you believe a person who never answers direct questions has any right to ask any questions? I answer direct questions when they're asked by someone who deserves an answer. Someone who treats me with basic respect. I found it's easier to find Amarrians and Caldari who act that way than it is to find members of the Fraction. Perhaps if you were, on occasion to act in a manner reminiscent of a civilized, mature human being rather than that of an ignorant, spoilt child, people would have more respect for you, and might be more inclined to answer your questions. You might find it also helps in convincing people your views are valid, rather than the delusional rantings of a madwoman. ----- Andreus Ixiris CEO, Mixed Metaphor
Andreus Ixiris Gallente Mixed Metaphor	Posted - 2010.08.10 14:13:00 - [9] Originally by: Jade Constantine I bet you do. But then thats rather the point isn't it? The point is that for a so-called "revolutionary" you're doing an excellent job of making the four empires look appealing. The point is that for someone who wants an unorthodox view to become widely accepted you're doing a spectacular job of making it seem like its only proponents are a bunch of ignorant, loudmouthed losers. The point, my dear girl, is that civility costs nothing, but incivility eventually racks up debts no man is capable of paying. You find it surprising I'm unwilling to answer questions yet not, I faith, that I know more civil Amarrians than I do civil Fraction members, but you don't infer from thost facts what that actually means - only what is convenient to your next insult. This, in the words of a great and noble philosopher, is why you suck. ----- Andreus Ixiris CEO, Mixed Metaphor
Andreus Ixiris Gallente Mixed Metaphor	Posted - 2010.08.10 14:59:00 - [10] Originally by: Jade Constantine I really don't. I never expected you to answer questions because I know you cannot. A Nationalist like yourself cannot survive in honest debate. Hence completely unsurprising that you avoid it like the plague. And what would a former honeytrap and compulsive liar know about honest debate? You keep making these statements you can't back up, and when people refuse to treat you with respect you mistake lack of desire for absence of ability and loudly trumpet your victory to an uncaring crowd that clearly sees through your sham. Star Fraction is a sham - it exists solely for the self-aggrandizement of a cold, bitter, lonely sociopathic loser whose florid prose reads like the third-rate scrawlings of a political speechwriter from some godawful backwater town on Duripant V, railing against a world that doesn't recognise her "immense genius". I cannot imagine how soul-destroyingly depressing being you really is, what with the knowledge that Star Fraction will never, ever seriously threaten any of the empires it rails against, but I certainly do understand why you spend so much time on the IGS. ----- Andreus Ixiris CEO, Mixed Metaphor
Andreus Ixiris Gallente Mixed Metaphor	Posted - 2010.08.10 15:08:00 - [11] Couldn't tell you - unlike you, I'm neither. ----- Andreus Ixiris CEO, Mixed Metaphor
Andreus Ixiris Gallente Mixed Metaphor	Posted - 2010.08.10 16:09:00 - [12] Originally by: Syn Callibri Consider this... Okay. Done considering. It's a terrible idea. Here's why. Originally by: Syn Callibri Star Fraction makes a better ally than enemy Time has not bourne that conclusion out particularly well. I have yet to see anyone who has particularly benefited from having them as an ally, and see only a handful of people who've really suffered that much from having them as an enemy. Originally by: Syn Callibri considering the situation that the Empires have found themselves in currently. The situation could well be considerably better if, for instance, Haledone Dorgiers didn't keep getting his ship blown up. Originally by: Syn Callibri This constant bickering and backbiting that is evident here is a waste of time and resources that can be used to a more constructive end. Oh, I strongly disagree. ----- Andreus Ixiris CEO, Mixed Metaphor
Andreus Ixiris Gallente Mixed Metaphor	Posted - 2010.08.11 17:59:00 - [13] Blake, take some friendly advice from an enemy - don't think too hard about it. I'd hate for you to die of a cerebral hemorrhage before I got a chance to kill you myself. ----- Andreus Ixiris CEO, Mixed Metaphor
Andreus Ixiris Gallente Mixed Metaphor	Posted - 2010.08.11 18:17:00 - [14] Originally by: Jade Constantine Thats a little like imagining two cotton-wool-wrapped adult babies belabouring each other with soggy cucumbers in a sauna full of marmelade. As I've said before, while your monologues are frightfully uninspired and drab, I much prefer them to the externalisation of your own peculiar sexual fantasies; those are less frightful than viscerally terrifying. While I respect your right to practice what you wish with whoever (or whatever) you wish to take as your lover in the privacy of your own quarters, I would take it as a personal favour if you kept your private fetishes just that. ----- Andreus Ixiris CEO, Mixed Metaphor
Andreus Ixiris Gallente Mixed Metaphor	Posted - 2010.08.11 19:03:00 - [15] Originally by: Invelious Proceeded by a quick change in subject by attacking Rodj and Andreus. I consider it less of an attack on us and more of an unwanted insight into the dark reccesses of a diseased mind. ----- Andreus Ixiris CEO, Mixed Metaphor
Andreus Ixiris Gallente Mixed Metaphor	Posted - 2010.08.12 11:10:00 - [16] Originally by: Rodj Blake Do you seriously believe that you can replace the Gallente Federation without the use of violence? I shall have to correct you on this point by saying I believe he means the Minmatar Republic, although I would pose exactly the same question about them. ----- Andreus Ixiris CEO, Mixed Metaphor
Andreus Ixiris Gallente Mixed Metaphor	Posted - 2010.08.12 14:08:00 - [17] Originally by: The Cosmopolite We believe it is possible to organise socially without the violence inherent in government systems. It isn't. The human being created civilization not because of willingness but because of a need to be assimilated into higher orders of structure and meaning. The philosophy and psychology behind this can explain everything from religion to the various political systems which pervade the cluster, and can be boiled down to two simple truths: the individual craves judgement, and the individual is prey to ambition. All individuals desire to be in some way observed, assessed, punished or rewarded, and in turn, also desire to observe, assess, punish and reward. The gods, and, indeed, God, are personified aparitions of observation, assessment, punishment and reward. The Amarrian God is a delusion, but is a perfectly understandable one, for it is a perfect example of omnipresent understanding and judgement. Amarrians pervert the concept somewhat with the dogma, prejudice, arrogance and hatred of their religion but stripped of all its Amarrian context, the concept of God is clear: God observes you with a glance and truly understands everything about you, as no-one and nothing else ever could, and can therefore assess and inform you of your relative worth in a single instant. If not worship, truly few are the men who would not treat such a being with some form of reverence. Without such an omnipresent being, humans are forced to judge each other by means ranging from the fairly logical (personal ability) to the entirely arbitrary (ethnicity). Yet this in itself is still not enough. Inevitably springing from the desire to be judged is the desire to be judged favourably - this we call ambition. Human ambition is quite possibly the most powerful ordered force in the universe, infinitely stronger than human reason. All human beings are prey to it, and nothing is proof against it. Ambition is what sets up tyrants like Heth and Sarum, ambition is what drives them to rule in the first place, and ambition is the root of all their abuses. Whenever there are too few checks or limitations upon a human's power, it is inevitable that that power will at some point be abused. Capsuleers, far from being some post-human infomorphic demigod, epitomise humanity and demonstrate just how dangerous humans get when they are given nigh-unlimited power. The checks and balances of government exist because human beings recognise how singularly unfit they are to govern themselves. Decision-making structures, committees, laws, codes, constitutions - they were all created to provide a system, a non-human machine, which was not subject to ambition. These systems, devoid of emotion or consciousness, exist to limit and counterbalance the power that any one individual can possess, with the unspoken implication that they will also limit the damage that individual can do should he fall prey to his own ambition. There will always be systems of government, as long as human beings themselves exist and are subject to both ambition and the desire for judgement. It is inseperable from our nature. The State, the Federation, the Empire, the Republic need not even be mentioned - it is the others you want to look at. The Cartel, the Guristas, the Serpentis, the Raiders - even the Syndicate. They all arrange themselves in heirarchical, governing structures with laws and codes. Even the Sansha, who claim to have done away with the weaknesses of humanity, arrange themselves with Kuvakei at the very top, as a glorious leader, and a spider's web of advisors and subordinates and subordinates of subordinates radiating out around him. Even Star Fraction has a heirarchy (even if it is, as almost every ex-member has related, simply Jade with her boot on your throat and your boot on the throat of everyone else), which in turn is subject to the laws and regulations of a larger heirarchy (CONCORD).
Andreus Ixiris Gallente Mixed Metaphor	Posted - 2010.08.12 14:31:00 - [18] Edited by: Andreus Ixiris on 12/08/2010 14:31:38 Originally by: Rodj Blake One minute you're saying that the State is haven of national independence and individual freedom, and the next you're saying that it's a hypocrisy on stilts run by gangsters. Any more u-turns like that and you really will be spinning. Well, you see, the State is only a haven of national independence and individual freedom when it's useful as an ideological tool for criticising the Federation (showing how little he actually knows about the Federation) or the Empire. In all other cases it is of course a hypocrisy on stilts run by gangsters. Clear now? ----- Andreus Ixiris CEO, Mixed Metaphor
Andreus Ixiris Gallente Mixed Metaphor	Posted - 2010.08.12 14:42:00 - [19] Originally by: Miss Sparkles You should be a teacher Andy. I'm sorry that I have to ask, but was that meant as a compliment or an insult? ----- Andreus Ixiris CEO, Mixed Metaphor
Andreus Ixiris Gallente Mixed Metaphor	Posted - 2010.08.12 14:46:00 - [20] Originally by: The Cosmopolite I have made no 'u-turn' Actually, I will have to agree with this - you have, to some dubious credit, consistently repeated the tired fiction that I have sympathy with the Amarr without any backsliding, despite the fact that revising your belief would make you look like less of a raving lunatic. ----- Andreus Ixiris CEO, Mixed Metaphor
Andreus Ixiris Gallente Mixed Metaphor	Posted - 2010.08.12 15:12:00 - [21] Originally by: Miss Sparkles Oh, a compliment. I found your post extremely insightful. In that case, thank you very much. I feared very much, given to whom it was addressed, that the effort would be entirely wasted, but I'm glad to see that someone appreciated it. ----- Andreus Ixiris CEO, Mixed Metaphor
Andreus Ixiris Gallente Mixed Metaphor	Posted - 2010.08.12 15:45:00 - [22] Actually, my view has always been that the Caldari and the Amarr are an exceedingly poor match for each other, and that if it weren't for the exceedingly ugly business of the Gallente-Caldari war, the alliance would most likely never have existed, the Amarr would be friendless and a lot more aid could have been given to the Minmatar rebellion. Mixed Metaphor's stance is that the Amarr are by far the greater long-term threat to the stability of the Federation, and that being enemies with the State gains us nothing, but being allies with them would be the largest step towards a peaceful cluster that anyone's ever taken. ----- Andreus Ixiris CEO, Mixed Metaphor
Andreus Ixiris Gallente Mixed Metaphor	Posted - 2010.08.12 21:56:00 - [23] Originally by: Azure Skyclad .....and plagiarized in significant parts. Andy borrowed his insight from another. I thought that tripe sounded familiar. You are a persistent little troll, aren't you? ----- Andreus Ixiris CEO, Mixed Metaphor
Andreus Ixiris Gallente Mixed Metaphor	Posted - 2010.08.12 22:11:00 - [24] And pray tell, where have I stolen it from? ----- Andreus Ixiris CEO, Mixed Metaphor
Andreus Ixiris Gallente Mixed Metaphor	Posted - 2010.08.16 14:38:00 - [25] Yet again you have overestimated both your own intelligence and your ability to "chide" me. Oh, also, who's Warren Spector? ----- Andreus Ixiris CEO, Mixed Metaphor
Andreus Ixiris Gallente Mixed Metaphor	Posted - 2010.08.16 15:09:00 - [26] Originally by: Dunn Idaho Could we like get back on topic please Thought this tread was suposed to be about us. I want more attention damnit! Dunn Idaho All threads that involve Jade inevitably become temples to her own inflated sense of self-worth. I apologise for the inconvenience but there really is little hope of salvaging this one. I'm led to surmise from the lack of triumphal catterwauling on this thread, however, that Core Impulse is holding its own respectably, though? ----- Andreus Ixiris CEO, Mixed Metaphor
Andreus Ixiris Gallente Mixed Metaphor	Posted - 2010.08.16 15:43:00 - [27] Originally by: Jade Constantine Would that be cheering for more Amarrian Nationalists there You do really seem rather obsessed with this fallacy. Perhaps you should see a psychologist. Either way, I was merely commenting from the fact that Star Fraction aren't furiously blowing their own horn - if you know what I mean - that the war with Core Impulse is not going smoothly. Originally by: Jade Constantine (I use the word "involved" in the loosest possible sense of course given that you haven't exactly done much fighting for months). You are welcome to this delusion, too, but I'm actually on patrol right now, in Caldari space, and I've been doing the same for days now. ----- Andreus Ixiris CEO, Mixed Metaphor
Andreus Ixiris Gallente Mixed Metaphor	Posted - 2010.08.16 16:05:00 - [28] They don't give you a killmail for every plex you spin, do they? And territorial control is, in the grand scheme of things, far more important than a few easily-replacable frigates. By the way, do remember, given your grandiose statement about Star Fraction's worth, that Roden is a capsuleer and a nationalist, and his frankly wonderful Shipyard has an astronomically higher turnover than you - in ship production, in R&D, and in not making a fool of himself on the IGS. ----- Andreus Ixiris CEO, Mixed Metaphor
Andreus Ixiris Gallente Mixed Metaphor	Posted - 2010.08.16 16:20:00 - [29] Actually, if you bothered to check my corporation's public profile, you'd see that Roden Shipyards loves my corporation. Farbeit from me to say that I'm the only capsuleer entity they feel this way about, but certainly they look upon my corporation a mite more favourably than yours, according to a similar reading of your own corporation's public profile. As for your unprovable assertion regarding Roden's personal preferences? I'm fairly certain that if he had time for speaking with capsuleers at all, he'd rather talk to a humble but honest Federation loyalist rather than a frothing, self-aggrandizing anarchist and former spy dedicated to the destruction of the grand and noble nation over which he presides. Besides, you remind me in both appearence and manner of that utter fool Mentas Blaque, and I'm certain a man as astute as Roden couldn't fail to notice the resemblance. It is fairly clear he despises the fellow, so I'm certain the clear resemblance would do you no favours with him either. ----- Andreus Ixiris CEO, Mixed Metaphor
Andreus Ixiris Gallente Mixed Metaphor	Posted - 2010.08.16 16:33:00 - [30] Actually they trust me with their best R&D assets and their agents treat me with a frankly creepy degree of friendliness. But thanks for asking. ----- Andreus Ixiris CEO, Mixed Metaphor
Andreus Ixiris Gallente Mixed Metaphor	Posted - 2010.08.17 15:18:00 - [31] Originally by: Jade Constantine You do realize they don't actually like you right? Is that your expert opinion through direct personal contact with these specific agents - or are you simply trying to score some cheap points in an argument? I fully realise that not all the agents I've worked for like me - Scourt Allougles of Quafe, for instance, was a butch, chainsmoking pervert of a woman who utterly despised me (but I'm led to believe from conversations with other capsuleers and, indeed, non-capsuleers that she was like that with almost everyone) but I've had drinks with Saonellieu Baerse a dozen times (always me buying, of course) and Roden Shipyards agent Bruffrer Vria is a most excellent Mind Clash opponent. Stans Callor over in Solitude has somewhat of a Splinterz obsession, which I never really got into, but we remain on amicable terms and exchange Federation Day tidings. Originally by: Jade Constantine Relying on the emotional support of agents for human company is probably a warning sign about something. Ah, and when did I state that I was doing that? You make such a big thing of people infering things they're "not meant" to infer from your statements - kindly practice what you preach, or, in the words of a most excellent Intaki sage, shut your big fat mouth. ----- Andreus Ixiris CEO, Mixed Metaphor
Andreus Ixiris Gallente Mixed Metaphor	Posted - 2010.08.17 15:43:00 - [32] Originally by: Jade Constantine In every desperate attention seeking post you make dear chap. The piteous need for some kind of emotional contact liberally drips off you. Trust me, I've got enough friends to satisfy the need for emotional contact and I daresay if I was desperate enough to seek you out for emotional contact I might as well gouge out my organs one-by-one with a breadknife - it'd be more efficient and far less painful than attempting to have a reasoned conversation with you. Originally by: Jade Constantine the silence of your corp chat You have quite obviously never shared a corporation with Sahaquiel Faust and Friar Kite, otherwise you'd know patently ridiculous that statement is. I wish my corp chat was silent. ----- Andreus Ixiris CEO, Mixed Metaphor
Andreus Ixiris Gallente Mixed Metaphor	Posted - 2010.08.17 15:53:00 - [33] So do the wheels on your goalposts come as standard, or did you have them specially installed? ----- Andreus Ixiris CEO, Mixed Metaphor
