To most of the cluster and most capsuleers with a modicum of common sense the disputed factional-warfare 'territory' is the backwater, idiot.

Then what location were you referring to when you say "watching the rest of the world burn"?

I use the same vocabulary when 'arguing' or having a drink, child. It's only 'extensive' by comparison.

I would suggest turning your attention inward and using a portion of your, no doubt not insubstantial, wealth and assets to provide for the planetside populations within the Republic and the space you've recently wrested. I know it can be a daunting task to try and focus on something other than endless combat, pillaging, murdering and raping; but I do encourage you to try it.

Not the need to justify, but still the need to explain yourself, got it.

Let's review: You're getting petulant due to someone else's vocabulary, which might just be a new low for the IGS.

Once upon a time capsuleers argued over content, not delivery method.



And this "child" is older than you.... and based on your public pilot record quite a bit more stable with both regular employment and competency on the battlefield.

If you'd like to compare specific shortcomings on a per-item bases though I'd be happy to put my record in any area right against yours.

Back to the topic then?

Slavery isn't always easy, but it does the slaves good in the long run. Bondage is temporary, salvation is eternal.

Take a look at the billions of Ni-Kunni in the Empire. Each and every one of them are descended from slaves. Would they be better off living in the mess that we found their ancestors in? Would there even be a Ni-Kunni race if we hadn't rescued them from their primitive state?

Aaah yes, the old ad hominem approach.

Yes we forced them to do things. It was for their own good. Consider a child. Sometimes its parents have to force it to do things, or force it to not do things. For its own good.

Getting things back on topic, the Ni-Kunni are in general both neater and tidier now.

Producing credentials which verify your right to make that statement would lend more credit to your argument.

It saddens me to see that this is the freshest face of the Cal-Matar front, Dos.

It would be insincere of me to say that, despite your crudeness, I had not felt a spark of hope when I realized that another Pilot had once again emerged who recognized the potential for a good relationship between our people.

However, I have quickly come to realize that the nature of your beliefs have been forged by hatred.

You express the worst qualities of my own kindred - ignorance and irrationality in the face our enemy - and none of our best. Furthermore, the fact that you treat your State's ally with such errant disrespect when they have treated you and yours well is a great disservice to the Caldari people. Though, perhaps, your most dire of betrayals may be the nature in which you attack your own. You marry our ideas of Tribe whilst lashing out at your sisters in the same turn and this I cannot accept.

Spirits help your troubled mind, whelp. I see you walking towards a Path of destruction.

Every day, I find it harder and harder to suggest a diplomatic peace accord between our peoples. Congratulations on your contribution.

Nope, I refuse to fight for a hypocritical Federation or a liberation force that has members who insult someone for speaking blunty about the actions of slaver scum and those who pander to them.

I am not interested in your history Halete, your condemnation against one who speaks against the brutality of the Amarrians has already been noted.

That's fine by me, I lost any semblance of respect for this "summit" pages ago. As far as I'm concerned the bulk of you deserve each other and only serve to reinforce for me why I choose a stance of neutrality.

Maybe you're just not eXtreme enough with these boot kissers.

Regarldess, welcome to the infomorph community. Best of luck.

I suppose that depends on your definition. According to the definition I work with, an infomorph is any decision network (sentient, biological, digital, or otherwise) able to

1. survive design-change modification to its decision network without a disjunctive event, and
2. demonstrate some form of substrate-independence.

In our labs, the first property is normally called the network's second-order resilience, while the second property is called its transitivity. Capsuleers are infomorphs with moderate second-order resilience and low transitivity.

The Amarr did not help put you right where you are. The Federation helped put you right where you are. The Jovians helped put you right where you are. But we didn't. If we had our way, we would still be looking after all of you.

But if the Republic is in a bad way, then ultimately it's because the people running it are not suited to the task. It really is that simple.

If the Minmatar hadn't rebelled, they would be well on the way to full enlightenment by now.

Many of them would be enjoying a similar quality of life to the numerous satisifed Ni-Kunni living in the Empire.

But no. They weren't patient. Like a small child they wanted their pudding before they'd eaten their meat. They wanted their freedom before they were ready for it. And now they are paying the price.

I'm glad to hear that you don't like the concept of orbital bombardment. I hear that it's more of a Federation tactic though, so perhaps you should complain to your own government?

You asked for evidence, I provided it.

You have made claims, we're yet to see any evidence to back them up.

But anyway, you present yourself as an advocate of freedom. Surely you don't object to people practising their religion? Or does your belief in freedom only extend as far as people doing what you want them to do?

I had previously asked Anabella to provide evidence of Minmatars flocking to the Republic from the Federation. That is what I was referring to.

I'm not sure what that has to do with what primitves call the Day of Darkness? Maybe you you were so blinded with prejudicial rage that you just decided to lash out at me without actually realising what I was talking about?

So in its youth the amarr were not in a civil war with the khanid on athra? they didnt enslave countless worlds etc that were different and enforce the amarr's way upon them?

Unlike you amarrian the minmatar dont repress free will. we have a multitude of peoples with different religions, ways of life, tribal beliefs etc. yes this causes conflict especially since they are all so newly settled together.

What we do not do is stamp out this difference like you. this gives us great strength and weakness.

Im not saying it is the easiest way to live but it is right, when you see this fact you will be truly enligtened my ignorant friend.

You are correct, we didn't offer you much choice in the matter. I do not deny that this was a misstep on our part as previously we always attempted to peacefully guide and shepherd if possible. Also, referring to the latter, rejection of the message of God does warrant conquest by the Reclaiming, yes. I have also never denied that.

Actually no, the Khanid submitted pretty voluntarily save for a few that chose to wage war rather than submit. These were forced into submission through conquest. To the latter, yes we did engage in conquest over many worlds before we contacted the Minmatar. Most of them are now upstanding members of the Empire, many serve in positions of power and authority. We even managed to keep a few from going extinct due to lack of resources on their home planets or destroying themselves through civil war.

Actually, the Minmatar have a history of violently attacking and killing their own kin who follow the Amarr faith, I'll provide references if you'd like. Also, before our arrival, you warred constantly against one another, even attempting to eradicate entire tribes from among yourselves, you actually became unified as a result of the interaction between our two peoples.

I agree that you find great strength in diversity and internal friction. You have certainly demonstrated so. However, you do stamp out certain differences if you feel strongly enough opposed to them.
