Okay, I have to comment on the recent Q&A with Janus Drake. In case you haven't read it, it is front page news today from Mucra Vita. Let me repost it here for anyone that hasn't read it. Or at least... the sections I have a problem with...
--------
Janus Drake is a high ranking official within the X-Trading Company, one of the founding corporations of Dusk and Dawn. Dusk and Dawn (D2) is a large alliance based out of Branch and situated within the northern regions. D2 is known for their extensive diplomatic and industrial tactics, as well as being fierce fighters for their claimed space. Recently, great events have occurred surrounding D2 as their alliance numbers have varied and wars have sprung up.
IC: What was the outcome of your assault into BoB space?
D2: If you're talking of our trip to the Serpentis Fountain Regions, it
was the exploration of this territory, further education for our pilots,
and the most important part, the entertainment of our alliance
population.
IC: How does the loss of 3 corporations and a titan affect your
ability to fight in this war?
D2: There is a war? Last I saw outer space is always in a state of
war.
IC: I was referring to the War between the Coalition and the Alliance
D2: I donĘt think there is a coalition or an alliance if you prefer to
call it so; I would see it more as movement of different interest of
different groups. Some fight for glory, some for their entertainment,
others fight for their masters.
--------
What the heck? Since new years we've all been at each others throats both in the forums and in space and now that the tide has turned, D2's answer is 'It never happened'? Was the five month war just a figment of the imagination of a little autistic boy staring into a snow globe?
Was D2's titan lost on a lark? Just some big fourth of july celebration that southerners took for war?
Instead of pretending that the coalition never existed and that D2 was never at war with BOB. Perhaps it would be a better option to instead, try thier hands at diplomacy. Are the days of diplomacy long dead? Now we just rewrite history and try to convince everyone that "We all wanted to live in empire. I don't know what this war thing is that you speak of."
Has it occured to anyone in the coalition that a truce can be struck? Now people may read this and assume that I am some how ragging on D2 for their choice of exit strategies. I'm not. Please believe that I am not.
I have in the past issued challenges to D2 to explain their intentions and reasoning for the war. D2 declined to explain themselves and commented through several hundred forum posters that 'War is fun'. Whether or not this was the consensus- I would like to follow up these challenges by asking D2 to finally ressurect the diplomatic process with bob.
There was a time (though few remember it) when G alliance and BOB were on semi-good terms with each other and although many pleaded with G to talk things out instead of continuing the violence, they declined.
Well let me just say that I do not represent BOB and I do not represent the southern alliance. I don't even represent ISS. But I'm asking D2 to abandon their present course and contact BOB on an official level to talk about the possibility of a cease fire.
They'll probably be suspicious. But at least it's a start. I strive to have the largest rating on our billboards, but do not for a moment believe that I take pride in that. Lets end the violence. End the madness.
Being honest I read that and though if I had been asked those questions instead of even giving intentionally absurd answers I would have told the ISD to feck off and actually come back when he could at least pretend he was trying to do the job that ISD are meant to do.
