Please Mizhara.
I'd love for you to provide some evidence of anyone involved accusing anyone else of bullying for pointing out allegiances.
The pilots of TS-F and those of us who have chosen to fly with them, both currently and in the past, are well aware of the hand wringing and cries of "consequence!" from others.
I for one, am eagerly awaiting such an event.

Normally, my 0.02 isk would be to say "down with this sort of thing", however, given the incomplete information about what this was actually all about, I would need to alter this.
So I say, up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right, B,A, with this sort of thing.

There's not much to add from our POV to the statement Jev North made on behalf of MITG.
We still stand for pilots that have served their time and left in good standings and will attempt to provide assistance where applicable. Given that Sanxing's inappropriate ultimatum and treatment of the pilot in question also involved Akagi Initative the opportunity to strengthen nascent diplomatic ties arose and the decision to join the surprise attack less than 72 hours afterwards was swiftly felled.
Sanxing are welcome to rebuild in Lirsautton once the CONCORD mandated war is over. Now that the slap on the wrist has been delivered the matter is seen as settled.

As a life-long Caldari, I find it both extremely distasteful and offensive that the sole justification for perpetrating these blatant acts of opportunistic greed and violence was the supposedly tainted "honor" of one individual. The subsequent actions taken by MTG and friends is a mockery of true honor, not the support of it. How dare you all appropriate a traditional and core value of Caldari society to justify these actions when much more appropriate alternatives could have and should have taken place first. And even if somehow the individual's honor was put into question by Sanxing, why does it matter? They are a Gallente-based corporation, and interaction with them can be ceased and no one would ever notice the loss. They may try to crawl into State territory shouting about this individual's dishonor and their shouts would fall upon rolling eyes and unreceptive ears. This is such a trivial and profoundly weak reason to try and justify reckless violence.
I have my sources, and I am deeply disturbed how quickly these declarations of war went into effect without exploring more sensible options beforehand. I am ashamed of my former employer for not following a just protocol and series of actions to investigate the claims put forth by Sanxing before escalating to a full blown war on behalf of Akagi. Ishukone is renown for being the most progressive megacorporation in terms of advancing a mutually beneficial and healthy relationship with our Federation neighbors. I-RED was founded upon the spirit and ideals set forth by the honorable Gariushi - who came closer than any other man in the history of the Caldari State to mending the wounds of old and creating a lasting peace between our two peoples. The rushed and immature decision to declare war on the prominent Sanxing without first exploring the various alternatives is a betrayal of those ideals. It is a betrayal of what I-RED stands for. It is a betrayal of Ishukone. Alex, my friend, how could you let this happen?
Whew! That was ruthless. Calling out your own buddies in such a public atmosphere and taking the high ground. I'd say we may have a place for you in our organization, but even we take care of our own and don't do the whole public backstabbing.
Crazy, it looks like you've gone even lower than us. I like you. You're brutal. |

So you're saying you've done this before. Neat.

This is a great point.
In truth, we really don't know who someone truly is until they show it for themselves. Which...Korsavius, you seem to be doing. I wouldn't say you're doing it well. A bit of advice from your new Guri garbage best friend (because I'm a nice guy): Careful with how quick you are to point out others' flaws, unless you're ready for people to bring out your own in full, relentless view. |

All I see is a dressed up way of saying "we killed a mostly undefended citadel to pad our killboard". This might be the strangest way I've seen someone avoid the "no posting killmails" rule.

The MITG kill record is beyond salvaging with cheap Astrahus kills. We don't care about numbers; we care about projecting power.

We've achieved objectives and left any opposition to, at best, stutter impotent and pointless accusations on the IGS. That's quite enough.

Shame to see the amount of hand wringing and breast beating over something as simple and common as diplomacy by other means.
I see many people who simply ought to know better - on both sides - trying to dress what happened up. I wish they would all cease and desist, or at least be more honest and forthcoming about their agenda and motivations.
You can dig as deeply as you like - for myself there was simply a sanctimonious Gallente offering an old and respectable Caldari corporation something as crass as an ultimatum with the promise of "consequences". There were, no doubt, other responses that could have been made, but freeze me if there was anything wrong with a little punitive "asset denial".

For the record, Sanxing had no intention of using violence against Akagi/I-RED. Our "unacceptable ultimatum": dismiss the disputed individual from the shelter of Akagi/I-RED within seven days. Our measured and civilized idea of consequences: public release of the details of what the individual did and no possibility of positive relations with I-RED in the future. (By now people can piece together from this thread what was done and by whom anyway.) |

Nothing shocking nor unexpected about it. This is pretty much exactly what I expected, given the histories of the people involved and what's been made public here. The thing is though, that's not what the shameless pretense earlier on says, is it? "Oh my, the 'honor' of one of our locusts was impugned, blah blah" and so on isn't exactly the truth, is it?
The simple fact of the matter is that diplomatic words were met with violence and topped off with a nice little chest beating cherry on top. The justification, "oh no, someone actually threatened to say something mean but true about someone! TO WAR!". This is not the norm, no matter how much you like to pretend everyone else is as devoid of decency as you claim. These people, like the targets or those who came to their aid, are demonstrably people who don't take such measures and when you look around highsec there's a hell of a lot more of them than there are of us 'monsters'.
They just don't get the same notoriety or screentime, since they're quite simply a lot more boring.
They do constitute more of a norm than what's been on display right here, and you pretending otherwise is disingenuous at best. Be a monster, I don't really care as I'm not much better in that regard myself. Just stop trying to drag the rest of New Eden down with us, because we really aren't the norm.
That's the difference here, and the reason you and yours deserve little more than loathing. You're not even capable of being honest anymore. |

an ultimatum is chest beating. The ultimatum came with a hard deadline and vague consequences. I-Red and Akagi decided to go to war once the deadline for the ultimatum expired - this was felt to be a proper response to the fact that a filthy foreigner felt he could make demands and threats like that.
Now we're told the consequences were economic. Well, given the lack of casualties, one could say that this is true on both sides.

I think you have so much blood in your eyes that you don't even know what truth is, anymore, Miz. If you don't know me well enough to know I've been honest with you, damned if your opinion about me matters all that much.
