We tend to become like the worst in those we oppose. Guard well your heart, or you may find you have become what you hated the most.
The journey is the reward.

Leaving only those that are truly commited. Take it from someone who knows of such things, you'll grow stronger. For that what dosen't kill you, makes you stronger.
What does not kill me, makes me stronger.
Friedrich Nietzsche, Twilight of the Idols, 1888
German philosopher, Earth (1844 - 1900)
A couple more Nietzsche quotes that are most fitting here...
"He who fights with monsters might take care lest he thereby become a monster. And if you gaze for long into an abyss, the abyss gazes also into you." Beyond Good and Evil, Aphorism 146
"To forget one's purpose is the commonest form of stupidity."

Glad you could replace it so quickly.
"What is good? All that heightens the feeling of power, the will to power, power itself in man." - Your man Nietzsche.
Odd that you would try and bring such an antiquity as him into an argument when what little historical evidence there is of him suggests he would have most likely supported the likes of Suuji and his allies.
I believe Gorion Wassenar made the statement. I merely sited the source and a few other quotes...nothing more...nothing less...I also do not presume to speak how the past would view the present.

I am not sure this is exactly the same Miss Yubari.
Straight from the horse's mouth as it were and simply oozing with honesty and integrity...
The Massacre of Placid
Suffoco Noctis entered the Placid region of Gallente space little over a month ago with the idea of relaxing after many guerilla wars spread across multiple other corners of the galaxy. A trail of blood followed the original three corporation members of NOCTS and it gave off a uneasy scent to the anti-pirate coalitions that commonly patrolled the Placid borders. With the defense of Placid Reborn and the unofficial alliance designated Placid Defense coalition, we were certain that the borders would be well guarded enough for our brief retirement so long as we stayed quiet about our activities.
But the memories and horror others have witnessed firsthand quickly followed our paths and our names became quickly recognized within even the smallest nooks of Placid. It was time to leave... but like hell we were going to just walk out of here. If we took the first step to leave then the bodies of those who defended Placid would litter the nebulas like sand upon a beach. Speaking with trusted friends we began a brief and unnoticed recruitment period, bringing to the ranks of NOCTS three new members. All previously within the Placid Reborn corporation, their knowledge of EVE and tactical capability were unrivaled by others we had considered and quickly they adapted to the change from prey to hunter. Suffoco Noctis had taken a deep breath of life, and it was time to remind Placid that their saftey was not in the hands of those who protected it. Their saftey existed only because we, and many other pirate corporations around us, allowed them that small comfort.
The knife was inserted deep within the heart of placid and all six members of NOCTS began a brutal spree of ransomless murders. No questions. No hesitation. The souls of our victims never made it beyond their mortal corpses for our blades cut deep enough to destroy their defensive spirit. By the cunning tactics and determaination, Suffoco Noctis was able to eliminate the following ships in outright combat/counterassaults and belt piracy within a two-day timeframe:
4 Pod-class Jovian wetgraves
1 Wolf-class Minmatar Assault Frigate
3 enyo-class Gallente Assault Frigates
5 Thorax-class Gallente Cruisers
1 Celestis-class Gallente Cruiser
2 Vexor-class Gallente Cruisers
2 Brutix-class Gallente Battlecruisers
1 Iteron Mark IV-class Gallente Industrial
1 Iteron Mark V-class Gallente Industrial
1 Retriever-class ORE Barge
1 Typhoon-class Minmatar Battleship
1 Dominix-class Gallente Battleship
3 Megathron-class Gallente Battleships
While the numbers may seem miniscual to the older piracy corporations, the list above is something I am incredibly proud to display. It isn't just myself or any other singular person in NOCTS, but everyone's combined dedication and loyalty to friendship and bloodshed. I am proud of each and every member of NOCTS and couldn't imagine flying with a better crew. To the new recruits: Sicex, Aria Sky, and Suuji Praath, welcome aboard. You've certainly earned your place here. What we've accomplished in the past two days will leave a mark on Placid for many months to come. And as we pull away from Placid and move onto a new area, let the galaxy know one thing clearly.
Suffoco Noctis is alive... and the souls of the damned follow behind us.
The journey is the reward.

The rest of you may think what you like.
Fly safe, Shemar.
And all I would have to say to the likes of you is...
I may fall in battle, but I will never be defeated.

Unless someone kills you while you're outside your pod. Rather surprising that it hasn't happened to you yet, because you're all rather annoying and I can't see people like you undocking often.
Or perhaps you simply cannot see at all...

Mr. Aderynn, who is the say their friends are actually gone? Perhaps we will be hearing of more betrayal and murder...of course...all in the name of personal development.

I am not sure this topic could stand anymore bravado and posturing. It only feeds the egos of the perpetrators. Take note and use caution, but nothing more. Most of us will not be remembered by history, and neither will they be remembered. Just dust in the wind as the rest of us...
