Glad to have you with us.

Ms Rhiannon,

In the hope to ask something constructive regarding the statement of your alliance, could you clarify the part refering to the renegociation of your KOS targets that are part of the TLF ?

In fact, two things are worth considering to my opinion, and I am pretty sure you have already discussed it internally countless times before taking your decision on the matter :

- If the KOS corporations/pilots that are part of the TLF continue to clash with your current policies, or if both parties can not reach an agreement to reset their mutual standings, are you going to change your policies or close your eyes on them by convenience ?

- If not, how are you going to deal with intra militia conflicts involving EM and other TLF entities (which means that you will have either to issue war declarations to avoid faction standing losses or suffer these standing losses) ?

Of course, you are probably aware of what kind of people you can find in the militias (thus, your KOS list). What are your stances on that matter ?

I hope that -EM-'s membership in the militia will not create a schism between those who prefer NBSI policies and those who frown upon them.

A presently well published example is The Obsidian Front (which is my personal perspective), that is also active against Amarrian groups, and despite half of the FRONT being focused on the more industrial aspects and not "pirating" (which is EM's underlying "reason" to "redlist" other groups) EM is actually engaging us. They basically do not care, as long as they have plenty of targets they can "legally" bloody murder for their own convenience, trying to cripple groups operating under NBSI for the Republic.

From a personal perspective, I would anticipate that this is an issue you will have to become used to.

Of course, EM is always welcome to contact me personally to discuss my very own opinion - I would appreciate to be taught wrong.

Sir, in my humble opinion you should let your representative talk about such matters, as your words may clash with his words.

On the original topic, I'm glad to be part of the Militia again. I'm glad we are now able to chase the non-outlaw amarr supporter without trespassing CONCORD rules. Duty and stance are in harmony.

I would be interested in knowing the answer to this as well. There are numerous entities within the TLF which, while not straight-up pirate entities, operate under NBSI rules of engagement. We engage all targets of opportunity that are not explicitly friendly, as neutrals are very often in fact unfriendly, or working for the enemy or other entity.

As Commander Sadik explains, we have always been ready to negotiate with NBSI entities. Our standings policies do not require an organization to follow a NRDS policy; what it requires is that the entity commits no crimes in Republic space. Even if an organization technically allows shooting neutrals but in practice all they shoot is Amarr Militia, we will be willing to consider blue standings. We also as a policy do not consider piracy out of Republic areas our concern, even though the vast majority of our membership finds it objectionable everywhere.

These principles are unlikely to change now that we are in the Militia. What might change is that we will put (even) more energy into trying to negotiate mutually acceptable agreements with friendly Militia corporations. However, pirates and other criminals will not be safe from us by simply joining up on paper. Declaring CONCORD-wars to avoid standings losses is a strategic/tactical decision that will be made case-by-case by military commanders.

In other words, to quote the gentleman from CVA, nothing has changed much and we are still godless heathens.

I hope this answers the concerns. There is a separate thread for the Obsidian Front business, so I will not comment it here, beyond stating that any public arguing about it is likely to do more harm than good for any future negotiations.

What the future brings between Electus Matari and The Obsidian Front, time will tell. Regardless what we will support with what resources we have, to support a turn back for the minmatar repulic, and get Wolfbrigade out of Kamala, Lamaa, Kourm and Auga.
