If you see miners/haulers or other non-combatants that your contract has set you up to engage think twice about destroying the livelyhood of such individuals.... your ISK cannot possibly pay for the damage to your reputation... or your... soul.

Sir, out of one side of your mouth, you admire our conviction to uphold our contract; yet out of the other you ask us to breach it. The simple truth is that our employer sets our target list, no one else. Let me put it to you this way, would you hire a merc corporation that has a reputation for disregarding the employer's wishes for the sake of their personal agendas?
I think not.
When other potential employers look at our past, they will not feel what it was like to be involved in the conflict. They will not see the conflict through the lens of political affiliation. They will see win to loss ratios, they will be able to look at the market and see how the region was impacted financially during the engagement. They will run the math and try to determine how much the war cost the target. They will look at the holo reels, and review footage of the battles and watch interviews with the witnesses. They will see how many pilots turned deserter.
These are the things that will determine our reputation with future employers. When people want to hire someone with "soul"; they hire a musician. Our employers are not interested in such sensitivities, and are therefore only concerned with reults.

I only pity the loss that surely has and will happen due to lower dilligence in patrolling for pirates and scavengers of the weak.
As has been stated before, those that are unable to defend themselves are well advised to seek "higher" ground...

hmmm... Not all the mercenaries or minmatar, I remember one good looking caldari girl
Trinity Nova is an equal opportunity corporation...
Every Pilot is considered equally, regardless of race.
Every contract is considered equally, regardless of race.
Every target is considered equally, regardless of race.
(I hope you are starting to see the readily apparent pattern).

Nobility is a funny thing, isnt it? It can be bought and sold quite easily, so can freedom for that matter.

This is where I feel sorry for mercenaries. You are the most shallow of people. You do not fight for anything save ISK. You are nothing more than shells of people and slaves to money. You cannot buy nobility you have to earn it. And no amount of contracts is going to get you that. My devotion to my cause cannot be purchased. My freedom can be taken against my will. But unlike your kind I will never barter it for trinkets or ISK.
Your sympathies are appreciated, even if we do not echo the sentiment. However, you are just as much a slave to your cause, as we are to ours. Perhaps we are the more enlightened, for we fight for all causes, and you fight for just the one. Clearly you speak of the concept of nobility, whilst I refer to the tangible title (and its benefits of course).
Perhaps that is the clearest division between us. You are content with the intangible concept that motivate you, whilst I (and others like myself) would much prefer to see and touch what we fight for. Some are content to believe in things that cannot be seen or touched.
Quote:
I can say that I respect the fact that they fight for a cause no matter how misguided. You don't even have a belief of your own. For that I pity you.
Neither your respect nor your pity are factors in this engagement. We have divorced ourselves from the blinders of indoctrinated belief and political affiliation. From my perspective, there is no greater freedom.

The Red Dwarves have left Namtz'aar K'in. That is what caused that announcement to you; the standard CONCORD wording about "surrender" is misleading. SMEGH leaving the alliance was because of internal diagreements about policies having nothing to do with this war.
The timing of this departure is a most unfortunate...coincidence

Matari trying to kill another Matari. It is truly unfortunate to have lived in such times.
You know, so far it really hasn't been that bad...
