Intergalactic Summit

This will never happen if people like yourself don't make it happen, you can wait an eternity for this but there are countless people waiting for this moment to occur.Will you actually stand up and bring this change in our people? Will you make it happen? Or will you let them continue to wait, like you've consigned yourself to doing? We are the epitomy of what our people can be, is there any other answer?

I will do my best, but there are two issues, the first is that the Republic might be too damaged at it's core to be saved, and it might need to be totally reworked in order to be viable. I hope it isn't, I hope that corruption and disharmony that is in the system can be cut out without destroying the whole thing and having to rebuild from scratch.

The second issue is, I might be a capsuleer, and I do have a certain understanding of industry and markets; and I could potentially have a place as someone who brings our people up. I don't exactly think that people would follow me. I am only half Brutor, I am also half Nefantar, and I am returning to my people, I was born Ammatar.

Even if one were to ignore the crimes I have committed against the Republic in the Service of the Nation, or in the service to the Ammatar, then I would still have to actually have the charisma to be an effective leader and role model for my people. I have my hands in the market, in the Republic, and hopefully my investments of isk and time will be helpful to the people of the Republic.

So this is why I focus on my people in a generalized sense and try not to worry so much about nationality.

For what it is worth, if you or anyone else knows something that I can do to help my people or something that I can do that doesn't harm another faction that I can do that makes life better for the people in the Republic let me know.




I am on record, saying that the Elder fleet was an understandable, justifiable, and necessary event, that hasn't changed. I think the Thukker Tribe as a government has been much more reasonable than the republic for the most part.

Uh... respectfully, I was more thinking about your use of the word, 'reasonable', than 'understandable', 'justifiable' and 'necessary'...

Especially when you seem to compare it to the Republic...

Or by being accepted by a clan as a member. And in most cases undergoing a Voluval after getting appropriate instruction.

Though I'll grant you not all clans are prepared to accept people who aren't of Minmatar blood. However some are and if the clan accepts you then for an outsider to question the decision is to insult the clan.

To be fair I don't see not being accepted by all people as a very big issue. Some people might look at someone as an outsider but others may accept them, this is true of almost all people everywhere however. The purpose was more to the point of what someone personally feels makes someone Matari. I don't however if that is your own personal viewpoint or not.

I am painfully aware I was raised in the mandate and lots of the finer points of Brutor culture are going to be things that aren't apparent to me. They aren't to most former slaves either though, so I am finding that people are usually pretty easy around me and are happy to explain to me what I ought to be doing..... I also know there will be some who are never going to forgive me corn be sin of being half nefantar and those people will simply loose out on getting to know me.

More and more I am getting the feeling that being Matari is a opening up your soul to your culture more than blood or circumstance of birth or political alignment. I don't know that there will be a clan that accepts me but, I now have faith that I know who I am, even if others don't. I Accept me.

There will always be people that accept a person and those that do not. However if the social group you are joining accepts you then you are a member of that group.

If other members of it disagree with the consensus that's all well & good but it doesn't make them right.

And no clan will accept an outsider lightly. Not if they want to stay part of their parent tribe. They will make it very clear what is expected of them.

To an extent Minmatar experience this themselves if they move between clans on getting married. Different clans, even of the same tribe, can have radically different ways.

For example consider my clan, Five Towers, who are mostly administrators in the Parliament and Urban Management and Ava Starfire's clan Aman-Kezen. Her clan mostly live in the Mikramurka wilderness. Very different ways of life and outlooks but they are both Sebiestor clans.
