I think its going to be a review of "month two" with more general progress for the next version. As indicated by the conclusion of this one we were not "on the brink of victory" as your straw man argument would wish to hear Rodj. We were in the situation of suppressing a foe's empire movements while being unable to winkle them out of their Tower defenses in 0.0. This situation remains much the same. We score kills each day, good kills in some cases, while gradually turning the war in our favor. The enemy tells their troops our presence "doesn't matter" while encouraging its pilots to remain in Towers and avoid unnecessary empire transit. There are some interesting developments to report certainly, but not enough to justify weekly reporting at the current level of intensity. The war has a long time yet to run I suspect, at the moment patience is a virtue and attrition is the name of the game.

Jasmine, I have to say that I have become rather innured to your war diaries. Especially since you implied that you had crushed PIE's ability to operate and deploy force in or around the Throne Worlds.
My experience in Alkabsi proves that you were, regretably, woefully inaccurate on this aspect. ----- Mixed Metaphor is now recruiting! Contact me for details. |

Andreus really, our concord sanctioned war against PIE concluded almost six months ago. If you are trying to deride us now because the Amarrian Throne World loyalists have finally managed to put a fleet together 180 days after we destroyed their last muster at the Emperor's memorial then you're expecting too much even of us. Our ships are not armed with psychic pan-system death ray lasers and we can't prevent an enemy from rebuilding over half a year beyond our notice while protected by concord.
If what you are saying now is that your own personal defeat in Alkabsi is somehow "our fault" then I'm going to have to advise you to put more effort into recruiting and refining your own combat skills and less time into criticising the performance of others. Perhaps in six months time we'll read tales of your victories over PIE - lets hope so.

So what you're saying is that an Empire only war cannot lead to ultimate success unless carried on indefinately?
Let us (for the sake of argument) accept for a while that you did indeed suppress PIE to such an extent that they were unable to operate in empire while you carried on your war. After your war lapsed they have simply rebuilt their strength and consequently you have had no lasting influence on them.
What are the implications of this when viewing your current campaign against -7-? It must obviously be that while you may (if successfull) deny -7- the right to operate in empire while you're around, you'll actually have to keep up the war indefinately in order to achieve even that level of success.
The moment you let your war lapse, they'll simply start rebuilding their empire operations and in a matter of months be as strong as ever.
Of course you have the theoretic capability to actually hurt -7- by taking out their POS operations in Providence - which you have tried and failed to do. It seems by your own admittance that you have given up even trying to do this by now.
So what am I supposed to make of this? That you have let your campaign slip into a state of CONCORD sanctioned Empire piracy realising you cannot win? That we will find you back in Providence in strength to take on -7- and her allies hoping for a "better" result next time around? Or do you actually believe that your current strategy is the way to success as you claim in your posts?

All this talk of "ultimate success"... so heady. What would territorialist entities know of our goals? Perhaps our ultimate success is at hand every time we salvage your wrecks. Perhaps we win every time a single enemy pilot realizes what we are fighting for. Perhaps we just enjoy the tears of IGS.
I know why I fight, which is enough for me.
Your pride in your POS network, and those of your client alliances is... admirable in it's way, but it is yours- not ours. Those big cans orbiting around moons are not relevant to us. Severance and ilk hold sovereignty when they can keep us out. Every once in a while, that happens, and at those times, we see our true enemy.
I'm not sure we have "ultimate success" conditions, but when we have an enemy, we have a reason to fight. For me at least, that is enough.
