Now Operational: Blood Winery

It is complete. My latest, grandest, and perhaps last tower; my most Sani Sabik of towers; a tower into which I have poured all of my wrath and all of my hatred of the Minmatar people. What is in it?

Over 50,000 filthy Minmatar slaves
1000 Slavers
500 Marines
Guns and jammers and stuff, as many as possible online (and outside the shields).

And hundreds and hundreds of.....wine barrels.

Yes, wine. Blood wine. This is a project long in the making, one first inspired by the wine tasting event advertised on these very forums months ago. I could not have any wines ready in time for that event, but in the meantime I enslaved a supply of Sebiestor Science Graduates and whipped them and whipped them until they invented new processes for the making of blood wines, processes ultra-sensitive to the small variations among the Minmatar bloodlines such that (for example) the blood of the Brutor would make strong wine, the blood of the Sebiestor would make delicate wine, and the blood of the Vherokior would make mysterious wine.

Our traditional blood wines will begin with an Altar of God, one specially constructed to channel and collect the blood of the Minmatar slaves sacrificed upon it one by one. Budget wines, on the other hand, will begin with a mass of slaves crushed upon a great winepress (which I have nicknamed the great winepress of God's Wrath after an obscure Scripture). Whether their blood is taken upon the altar or the winepress, all slaves will be blooded alive. For the elite customer, we will offer Single Minmatar Wines, wines made from the blood of just one unique Minmatar, cut and blooded in a most artistic fashion with skilled flourishes, while our blood winemakers tweak the flavor of the resulting wine to capture the essence of the slave's agonized death throes in consecutive aftertastes.

Production in this new Blood Winery has already begun at an undisclosed Devoid location. Amen. Amarr Victor.

Let us skip right past my personal opinion of your... proclivities and dig right into the ecumenical flaw in this endeavor.

Your destruction of slaves, in particular the Matari, is intended to glorify God in some way. Yet as you delve further into madness I hear mostly glorification of your own achievements and, in this latest effort, of your arguably dubious business acumen.

And of that business acumen: do you consider this operation sustainable? Do you perceive such a great demand for blood wine that you need to produce it in mass quantities? And if the product or its revenue are meant to glorify God, what does it say of your dedication - or that of your customers - that you intend to create larger quantities of the inferior product to offset the price of the superior?

If you intend to become a businessman, you should look to secular venues. There's no profit in faith.

While I don't care about your silly religion, I love good wine! I'd like a single Minmatar of each tribe.
How much and when can they be ready? I do hope soon, because odds are someone is going to come shoot your fabulous vineyard.

I'm reminded of a passage from Scripture. A metaphor about the "Grapes of Wrath."

Quite literal in this case.

Your last tower? Promise?

I for one am pleased at this new entrepreneurial development; and I would like to encourage everybody to shop locally and support your local small-town minmatar blood winery.

It's not often that the perversion of ancient rituals is so readily apparent.

Spaceman, when the great Elfin poets sang of blood mixing with wine, they did not intend their verses to be instructional.

The wine tastings of the Space Elfs were violent, bloody affairs. The wine and blood mixed as a consequence of the festivities, but we didn't drink the bloody stuff (hah!) afterwards. We have standards.

If you're going to appropriate our culture so blatantly, you could at least make your "wine" taste good.

It's garbage.

I do not intend to become a business in the long term. One objective of this project is to create a demand for Minmatar blood-based wine products, a demand that hopefully will be picked up by other entrepreneurs.

Product will not be available for some time. Although most of the intensive production process (including the blooding itself) will occur in this tower over the next few weeks, there remains an aging period, the exact timing of which is at the discretion of the slavers/wine artisans.

It is not easy to train the large numbers of slavers required for a project of this size. Fortunately, the armament of this tower ought to insure that they complete the bloodings without interference from the supporters of Molok the Deceiver.

Let's see. First time I read about his tower it had no Strontium. Second time I read about his tower it has Strontium but no defenses. Third time, and that was the one where a certain someone raised a fuss about the morality of a certain someone else who kicked the tower initially, he had a poorly arranged pair of White Noise Generators.

So I bet this time he has guns.

Thank you, Nauplius. You have helped me a great deal. When I lie awake in the dark, and the ghosts from my past crimes haunt me, I only need to think of you to be reminded that there are greater monsters than I in this universe.

I regret that I was unable to participate in the destruction of his previous monstrosity due to circumstances beyond my control.

If there is any way that I can assist in the destruction of this latest monstrosity, please let me know. I will do what I can.

If anyone knows where that tower is and needs help, I can volunteer a battleship, or a tier 3 battlecruiser, for the tower-kicking. I need timing and a rendezvous point and I will see if I am able to show up and assist.

I am also willing to leave my current commission to help out.

I could advise you installing Navy showers. In about two minutes they can clean anyone, even a tribal, with minimal waste of energy and industrial water.
Keeping personnel filthy is not hygienic.


Oh, and forgot to add:
I am NOT drinking that, even if slaves will be clean.

Honored are the dead, for their legacy guides us.

You can't make food products out of people, of course you know that...:I am starting to think you are doing these activities merely to fail at them, perhaps your mother took up with a Minmatar slave and you just think if you can hate minmatar enough you won't have to admit where you came from. In any case this offends my Brutor sensibilities in addition to my sensibilities as a sane human being.
