...I once dreamt a dream, and now that dream is dead.

To whom it may concern:

FOR my utter failures as Fleet Commander in the defense of our sovereign territory in Querious, which now burns in tatters at the hands of traitorous dogs,

FOR allowing personal distractions such as the alliance tournament, where my role as team captain has resulted in a mediocre performance thus far (and I do consider only performing better than -half- of the teams a sub-par performance),

FOR allowing my corporation to wander, rudderless, while I have willfully descended into wanton vice, decadence, and indiscretions - while countless civilians and KPV employees in the region have burned at the whims of our aggressors and I have done nothing but laugh with indifference,

FOR increasingly and to my own surprise seeking personal gain, wealth, status, and power over other capsuleers with no regard for the greater good aside from my own benefit:

I hereby tender my resignation as CEO of the Khanid Provincial Vanguard.

I hereby name Sinjin Mokk as the new CEO, and place the organization in his capable hands. The Vanguard, or what is currently left of it after this last few months, is now his to do with as he pleases with my blessing.

Where my path will lead at this point I do not know, but one long chapter is certainly ending, in blood and fire.

Madame Neferis, despite his self-confessed shortcomings of late I highly doubt the Former Commander has any thoughts of laying aside his faith.

Silas it is truly not your fault, While you set in your pocket mining, Ratting and farming your allies quietly conspired with others to divvy up your space, The stage was set from day one. You were a place holder until those who wanted it had time to take it.

This is a greater victory for everyone outside the Empire than I think anyone rightly understands. And for me, in fact, it's the greatest gift a True Amarrian could bestow upon me. It's proof, if any were needed, that the True Amarr themselves - not their culture, you understand, the people themselves - are really just like us. They have no innate superiority, neither physical, nor mental, nor spiritual, nor cultural. They are prey to the same vices, faults, flaws and failings that affect all humanity. They are not, in fact, any closer to perfection than any other human being, nor is superiority their birthright.

This is a true example of an Amarrian being forced to accept the reality that really, she's no better than the rest of us.

In that humility, I suddenly find myself - to my surprise, I assure you - possessing a lot more respect for Ms. Vitalia than for any other Amarrian loyalist.

My statement is likely to fly straight over your head if I don't highlight the relevant bits of information for you, so I'll extend this courtesy for you:

It's a series of disjointed 0.0-security systems under the de-facto sovereignty of a private alliance of private corporations staffed by private individuals professing collective personal allegience to the Amarr Empire. The Amarr Empire cannot claim sovereignty of any system outside its current borders. CONCORD statutes are very clear on this. In six months, or a year, or two years, a different flag will most likely be flying over Querious. That's what 0.0 is like.

I was addressing Silas Vitalia, you ignorant infidel.
Mind your own business, insignificant.

You know, it's those arrogant fools like you who snap without regard that give Mssr. Ixiris here most of his ammunition against the Amarrian people.

I invite you to look up the word hubris.

This is just too delicious.

Originally by: Valdezi

Hubris?

I would say that Madam Vitalia's admission is the very picture of humility and penitence.

Bravo to her for that.

I find myself in the interesting position of receiving a plethora of well-wishes and consolations from my 'enemies,' and yet mostly a wall of silence from my 'friends,' those whom I supposedly might count on during difficult times. That I spent much effort these last months, obviously wasted, in trying to mend fences and strengthen bonds with my brethren, only to be abandoned now by them.... this speaks volumes.

An interesting 24 hours.

I think some of you might have correctly surmised that my resignation was not entirely of my own design.

[...]

Those who have benefited the most from my leadership, and who see our true potential, are staying in my employ. To his credit Mokk has allowed those still loyal to myself the freedom to transfer to my facilities and ships, for now. Concord paperwork being what it is we have both done our best to keep things in order during any transitional period. I would say more, but considering the circumstances I will honor the "agreements" I have made in private while I am still under the KPV banner.

Now that I have some time (oodles, apparently) I will respond to a few of you.

There is no real pvp in EVE, there is only winning or losing and then feeling :smug: about winning or sore about losing. There is nothing wrong with this arrangement.
