Rodj Blake PIE Inc. Praetoria Imperialis Excubitoris	Posted - 2008.04.08 15:38:00 - [1] Edited by: Rodj Blake on 08/04/2008 15:39:31 I was moved by the story of the blight outbreak on Tennen VI. I will tonight be praying for those who may be left hungry as a result of this. Should our friends in the State require any assistance, I will be very happy to supply them with some Amarrian quadro-triticale grain of the finest quality. Dulce et decorum est pro imperium mori.
Karanth Eve's Brothers of Destiny Free Trade Zone.	Posted - 2008.04.08 16:18:00 - [2] Famine is never a good thing, no matter whom the victim is. I'm simply glad that this news report wasn't what I thought it was upon seeing this post. "Current Earth-Destruction Status"
Artmedis Valben Lobster of Babel	Posted - 2008.04.08 17:03:00 - [3] While we members of Lobster of Babel find the insident horrific and are not particularly fond of canned vegetables... We want to reassure our customers that the quarantine does not affect our operations at the CONCORD station in Tennen. The disease is contained on the planets. If you are unwilling to come to Tennen we will issue you contracts in Hatakani or Unel at your preference at no extra charge while the quarantine is in effect. Otherwise it is business as usual... Quote: News Blight Strikes Crops on Hyasyoda Colony World reported by: ISD Katerina Markova \| 2008.04.08 14:50:42 Tennen - Calling it "the worst agricultural disaster in the Citadel since the State's independence," Caldari newswires are reporting that some 90% of the harvest on the agricultural world of Tennen VI has been wiped out by a virulent blight in less than a month. As Hyasyoda crop scientists scramble to respond, most of the farms and food processing facilities on the planet and in the system have been shut down. The Caldari Business Tribunal's customs authority has ordered a quarantine of the planet until the disease is contained in order to prevent its spread. Selling: PERFECT PRINTS T2 SHIPS

Andreus Ixiris Heretic Logistics DeStInY.	Posted - 2008.04.08 18:59:00 - [5] Ah, Rodj, your pretence of care is as transparent as ever. ----- CEO, Heretic Logistics Dance Commander
Smantha Dering Sam's Space Guys	Posted - 2008.04.08 19:00:00 - [6] Myself and the rest of Sam's Space Guys hereby offer assistance for the duration of this incident. In the event of any food shortages within the state, I pledge to make corporate food deliveries to help minimise suffering. All food will be delivered at the expense of Sam's.
Aria Jenneth Ghost Festival	Posted - 2008.04.08 19:30:00 - [7] Originally by: Andreus Ixiris Ah, Rodj, your pretence of care is as transparent as ever. Is it really, Mr. Ixiris? ... It doesn't entirely look that way from where I'm sitting. Then again, it actually seems to me that most of the Amarr, and particularly PIE, actually buy what they're selling. This doesn't make the likes of Vigilia Valeria much more pleasant or any less dangerous, but it does mean that their intentions need not be inherently suspect. Let me ask you this, Mr. Ixiris: certainly, portraying the other side's adherents as villains to the core aids in demonizing them, but I wonder whether, in the end, that really helps your rhetoric? While a pack of cackling slavers may be more worrisome to the average person than a collection of religious crusaders, your audience here is predominantly made up of capsuleers, interstellar travelers almost by definition, which means that we routinely come in contact with the people with the people you so eagerly paint as horrific samples of sentient life-- and most of our experiences do not support the vision of them you present. Do you really believe it aids your cause, coming off as being somewhere on the far side of Ushra'Khan where the Amarr are concerned?
Svetlana Scarlet Caldari Independent Navy Reserve The Fourth District	Posted - 2008.04.08 19:33:00 - [8] Originally by: Rodj Blake I was moved by the story of the blight outbreak on Tennen VI. I will tonight be praying for those who may be left hungry as a result of this. Should our friends in the State require any assistance, I will be very happy to supply them with some Amarrian quadro-triticale grain of the finest quality. It sounds like Hyasyoda and the Tribunal have the situation well in hand; I'm sure any problems with food supply or disorder will be purely temporary. I'm more concerned about the suggestion that the Federation has something to do with this; I would certainly hope that they would not be so foolish as to think we would stand idly by while they try to cripple us in such a fashion. Perhaps one of the Federation paramilitaries would care to comment, if they aren't too busy trying to push their noses into the Amarr-Minmatar skirmishing. -- CAPT Svetlana Scarlet CAIN Chief of Diplomatic Staff
Andreus Ixiris Heretic Logistics DeStInY.	Posted - 2008.04.08 20:01:00 - [9] Edited by: Andreus Ixiris on 08/04/2008 20:01:40 Originally by: Aria Jenneth Is it really, Mr. Ixiris? ... It doesn't entirely look that way from where I'm sitting. Then again, it actually seems to me that most of the Amarr, and particularly PIE, actually buy what they're selling. This doesn't make the likes of Vigilia Valeria much more pleasant or any less dangerous, but it does mean that their intentions need not be inherently suspect. I do not believe that the intentions of all Amarr, or, indeed, even PIE, are inherently suspect. However, given their past use of transparent, completely incredible excuses such as "live fire exercises in Mito" as a pseudonym for "we're going to fight Star Fraction", you'll understand that I'm loathe to take anything a single one of them says at face value. They routinely deny the existence of the Starkmanir genocide (although I will give you that this is nothing new among Amarrian paramilitaries), and where they don't, they glorify it. They speak of cruelty to slaves being a rarity, when heaps of evidence suggests that it is not only commonplace but in fact standard. And at the centre of this web of lies, like a bloated spider, sits Rodj Blake, who is, bar his crawling lackey Archbishop, the foremost authority on lying through one's teeth. Originally by: Aria Jenneth Let me ask you this, Mr. Ixiris: certainly, portraying the other side's adherents as villains to the core aids in demonizing them, but I wonder whether, in the end, that really helps your rhetoric? Aria, I wouldn't say portraying the Loyalists as villains "aids" my rhetoric - it's basically the core tenet of it. Fortunately for me (as I am chronically allergic to any type of hard work) their actions take very little work or spin to portray as such. It doesn't take a mastermind to understand that a person being held against their will despite repeated requests to be set free is the victim, not the villain. Originally by: Aria Jenneth While a pack of cackling slavers may be more worrisome to the average person than a collection of religious crusaders, I disagree entirely. I consider the idea of anyone who's willing to murder in the name of a fictional entity just as terrifying as a bunch of cackling, paraphilic sadists with laser guns and a self-adaptive nanovirus. Originally by: Aria Jenneth your audience here is predominantly made up of capsuleers, interstellar travelers almost by definition, which means that we routinely come in contact with the people with the people you so eagerly paint as horrific samples of sentient life-- and most of our experiences do not support the vision of them you present. Presumably, then, you have never talked to a member of PIE in a local channel. They are just as fundamentally psychotic as they portray themselves on the IGS. It's a wonder (and a shame) that they haven't all stabbed each other to death in a fit of sociopathy yet. Originally by: Aria Jenneth Do you really believe it aids your cause, coming off as being somewhere on the far side of Ushra'Khan where the Amarr are concerned? Actually, some Ushra'Khan members would gladly murder every Amarrian who lives in the Empire without a second thought. I'd prefer to find a peaceful solution (but, given that they hold the slaves, the onus is on them), but recognise that violence is not only a possibility, but, considering the Loyalists' stubborn insistance that they are the victims and that the slaves are the ones at fault, an inevitability. ----- CEO, Heretic Logistics Dance Commander

Evanda Char Re-Awakened Technologies Inc Electus Matari	Posted - 2008.04.08 20:22:00 - [11] Originally by: Rodj Blake Should our friends in the State require any assistance, I will be very happy to supply them with some Amarrian quadro-triticale grain of the finest quality. I also have a substantial amount of twitch wheat... left over from a previous famine relief programme that was rather excessively successful. I'd be very glad to provide it to help the populace of Tennen through this period of tribulation. -Eva- Electus Matari - taking it one bad guy at a time
Rodj Blake PIE Inc. Praetoria Imperialis Excubitoris	Posted - 2008.04.08 20:39:00 - [12] That's a nasty twitch you have there. Perhaps you need some Vitoc? Dulce et decorum est pro imperium mori.
Evanda Char Re-Awakened Technologies Inc Electus Matari	Posted - 2008.04.08 20:54:00 - [13] Originally by: Rodj Blake That's a nasty twitch you have there. Perhaps you need some Vitoc? That's so kind, but I think I'll pass. I'm just fed up to the eyeballs with twitch wheat - due to a slight misunderstand in a famine relief effort last year. Instead of two haulers-full of supplies, we acquired 2 million units of the damn stuff... and then a bit extra "just in case"... The two mining colonies we initially set out to assist had their storehouses stuffed to bursting, and we were still left with every hanger buried in this landslide of twitch wheat. We went looking for other potential troublespots and supplied them too, donated substantial amounts to the SoE's creche-relief programme, and were still left with around 10 freighter-loads that we finally managed to get rid of early this year. So I guess you could say I'm not excessively fond of grain these days. Bloody logistical nightmare. -Eva- Electus Matari - taking it one bad guy at a time
Andreus Ixiris Heretic Logistics DeStInY.	Posted - 2008.04.08 20:59:00 - [14] Evanda, if you want some help getting that stuff to Tennen, I'd be willing to bring my hauler to Molden Heath and help free of charge. It'd be a damn sight more interesting than what's currently going on around here. ----- CEO, Heretic Logistics Dance Commander

I got to see my people fed, and... thanks for all the battleships. So people donated their grain to you for famine relief, and you made a profit from it. How very charitable of you. Dulce et decorum est pro imperium mori.

"Charitable" like the time your war criminal demagogue du jour Archbishop so "kindly" kidnapped Federal citizens and was instrumental in turning them over to the SPCS to "humanely" enslave them? ----- CEO, Heretic Logistics Dance Commander

Mr Reeth The Aegis Militia Aegis Militia	Posted - 2008.04.08 23:08:00 - [20] The report said about 90% of the food was ruined. Professional farmers eat a much smaller percent of grown food than that. I doubt we are looking at mass starvation here. Even if we were there is a quarantine in place. You canÆt help them unless you know how to make a food drop from orbit. As for Federation involvementà I wouldnÆt put it past them but IÆd like some evidence before we go all finger pointy here.
Dex Nederland Lai Dai Infinity Systems	Posted - 2008.04.09 01:42:00 - [21] Edited by: Dex Nederland on 09/04/2008 01:42:49 Originally by: Mr Reeth The report said about 90% of the food was ruined.

You canÆt help them unless you know how to make a food drop from orbit. As for Federation involvementà I wouldnÆt put it past them but IÆd like some evidence before we go all finger pointy here. Mr Reeth has the right idea here. There will be a rise in prices of some food stuffs, but the threat of mass famine is non-existent. On the upside "Commodities futures in the Citadel were up 3% on the news." Hyasyoda will have to absorb the lose of those assets. So will all the humanitarians be giving Hyasyoda food stuffs to sell? If so LDIS is willing to take it off your hands instead to sell at pre-Tennen crop failing prices. Not an LDIS press release.
