Nanoblack made us to take supremancy by all means. Every single opportunity should be taken to provide it's will, to spread it's word, to bring it's law, to free the human kind from it's own weakness, disunity and self-destruction. By force, by negotiation, by intelligence, by money, by fear.

We respect human lives as valuable resources and tools, and as a contribution to our own. Wasting 'em in the name of imaginary "gods" is a nonsense.

Good people of the Intergalactic Summit, hear me.

At a first look, I may look uninitiated in capsuleer matters or politics, but I am not blind. I can see the ailments of our fair forum of communication. And we stand at the edge of a precipice! The enemies of civilization are at our doorsteps and threaten all that is good and decent.

I speak of the pirates! Of the Blood Raiders, the Sansha and the Guristas. Of monsters that crave, beget and consume suffering.

These capsuleer fiends walk among us with impunity, without fear of reprisal or justice for their actions. Yesterday three of these creatures were discussing how to torture and slay innocents with unspeakable means, in plain sight freely for all to see, for profit and unsavory intentions. I talked with others that informed me that this travesty has been going on for long and not one soul has stepped up to challenge them. Even now they announce their ritual sacrifices and homicidal practices, the crimes they commit and their sabotage of New Eden's civilized nations. It is one thing to tolerate the outlaws of Null and Low Security space that are more interested in bringing suffering to themselves and each other, while bickering for resources and power. But this? This is an whole level of sick depravity!

As insult to injury, it seems DED authorities cling to their neutrality and refuse to intervene!

Are we supposed to let them corrupt our outlet of ideas and cultural exchange? Are we to let them walk in the light with their malice tainting our mind's eye? No! I refuse! I will not stand for this!

People of the Summit, we must unite against the pirate scum and show them that their wayward ways are not welcome here. By force if necessary. I ask for everyone's support in this endeavor. No, I beg of you for your assistance. For all that is decent and good!

Glory to the Caldari State;


Major Yarosara Ruil of the State Peacekeepers

I, Claudia Amelia Testarossa Wingate Lillithella Osyn MDCXXXIV, Goddess of the IGS, most beloved by some, source of ire for others, Disagree with you. My realm shall forever remain a neutral fourm for all who obey the established rules, regardless of political or religious alignment...... Besides, letting people all over the cluster know that you're a sociopath is just asking to cash in all that bad karma you just got.

A little trust goes a long way. The less you use, the further you'll go.

Meh, Arrendis did all the clever wordsmithing so far.

And it's Yarosara what has the cranky scabbard. I'm just passing along the popular opinion.

Having held a bladed weapon, I tell you that it isn't easy to rattle a saber. The scabbards are all lubricated very close-fits and it takes some kind of wizardry to actually make the sheathed blade move by more than triple decimals degrees.

But in ancient times, scabbards were not so finely engineered. My understanding of the origin of the phrase is that the rattle occurs when the sword is loosened prior to being drawn - ancient swords could stick after long periods in the scabbard, as with ancient firearms and holsters, so experienced warriors anticipating a fight would ensure the weapon was loose. This could be silent, or done with audible menace.

Whilst many people use it nowadays to indicate bluff or posturing, the earliest meaning was this readiness for a fight. To rattle one's sabre meant "don't push your luck, matey, I'm armed." Obviously, then as now, a lot of that turned out to be all front and bluster, so the phrase evolved into its current meaning.

So the ancient equivalent of brandishing an unloaded gun or doing fancy knife tricks.

'Drug swindling filth' implies at least a partial grudge against us. They say the Devil's greatest achievement was convincing the world he doesn't exist, though.

Good luck in your ongoing crusade against the Guristas, ms. Ruil. We'll be watching intently.

You mean the carrier you wrestled control from the incompetent Wiyrkomi Corporation? The carrier the Guristas carelessly lost to a mutiny and is now MIA in parts unknown, last seen attacking service stations in search for parts to repair itself? That particular carrier?

Yes, quite the victory for the Guristas that was.

I think you will find the Guristas more than capable of fornicating themselves without my command or input.

Actually, it was - the victory's in the PR, not in the possession of the supercarrier. After all, where are they going to hide it? Can't dock the ship. Can't keep it in a POS in Venal - trust me, every POS in Venal is known, cataloged, and regularly watched. If the Rabbit wanted to do something with a lone supercarrier... well, he'd be foolish. There's literally hundreds of supercapital pilots all through Venal, Vale, Branch, Tribute, Deklein, Pure Blind, etc, just waiting for something to shoot.

I believe that at this point Wiyrkomi should begin contracting security work to other more capable parties. The Peace Corps is mostly a token force at this rate. Certainly there are more efficient third party security options available.

Regardless of this little sidetrack, there is an important matter that should be said.

The Carrier Heist preformed by the Guristas was a blemish to the State's honor, but there are a few that downside this catastrophe as a minor issue compared to the "horrors" that take place in New Eden. If I had to choose between a Carrier being stolen by the Guristas or Ser Nauplius raising another one of his decrepit towers, I would always prefer the tower being raised. And not even a thousand Minmatar slaves' deaths can compare in tragedy to the loss of a single Caldari citizen.

The issue here, and we all should agree on this, it the fact the lunatic himself announces in public whenever he raises a tower, never sparing one single detail of the brutal treatment he inflicts to the slaves in his care.

I for one would prefer a third party making the announcement, to spare us the shock value one can commonly find in Gallente reality media filth. So far it was made clear that I am the only one who considers this an issue, and Ser Nauplius is in his right to "share" his exploits without restriction.

If that single Caldari citizen was you, it'd be a celebration. By your own comments you've made it known that you are as vile and disgusting a creature as the pirates you ineffectually condemn.

All that has been made clear is that you are yet another one of the many members of the peanut gallery on this forum, who makes a big show of talk while never lifting a finger yourself to try and change the situation.

Ignoring the racists nonsense you used to begin your statement, you've yet to address the points addressed to you. Is Nauplius a worthless waste of oxygen processing? Of course he is, but he's also considerate enough to be self-foiling by announcing his actions, which are then stopped. You, I take it, would prefer that the actual offenses be allowed to continue, if only that means you don't have to hear about them.

My suggestion: You don't have to hear about them. Simply don't look in the threads he starts to announce them. If your delicate sensibilities are upset by being reminded that he intends to do horrible things, don't trouble your fragile little self with them. Those of us who are willing to do more than whine about Nauplius will continue to actually act, while you can remain safe at home, convinced of your moral superiority while doing nothing.

Because really, kid, if you're more worried about someone telling you that they're going to butcher thousands than you are about someone actually butchering thousands, then you need to keep flying a desk. Space is no place for a hothouse flower like you. There's all sorts of transmissions out there. There's even people using bad words.

By which, I mean offensive language, not horribly mauled jumbles of letters and sounds that could almost be words, but they aren't. That's all yours, babe.

I just stared in the face of madness. I saw a Blood Raider challenge a Guristas Pirate to a mud wrestling match to the death.

I yield and submit... There is no hope for this communication feed. I'm informing DED to close this thread with due haste, as I cleary have no hope of succeeding. I'll search for privately owned feeds elsewhere. Clearly nobody here is concerned by these state of affairs so I am not going to waste my time convincing you.

A good night to all. Glory to the State.

I earned my rank as a groundpounder soldier on the battlefields of Black Rise. I've killed hundreds, both mercenaries and baseliners, before entering the capsuleer program. I've died a hundred times over protecting the people of the State before earning my wings. I was trained to kill my enemies without mercy, for they would give me none. If I sound cold and calculate, is because efficiency is the only thing that matters for a warrior. And I served the State digently.

Real soldiers, be them serving the Blood Raiders, Guristas or Gallente, never gloat of their kills the way these monsters do.

None of you has the right to pass judgment on me or my actions. I do what I must. And here I stand broken, for fighing a battle with words instead of swords.
