Intergalactic Summit

CONCORD appears more than happy to allow capsuleers to resolve their issues among themselves. Which essentially means if you're any good at the old ultraviolence the consequences for any actions undertaken, no matter how terrible or atrocious others may find it, remains effectively nil.

From personal experience, about the only real consequence of upsetting Amarrian loyalist capsuleers was...

...

...

...oh, right, they don't invite you to their parties anymore. Yeah, that was about it.

All the ones I faced in direct combat were about as useful at it as a chocolate tea cup.

Still, their crews did let me send that joke birthday present about cultural relativism, existential apathy, and edginess to Kernher a few months back. Praise be the bounties of divine providence. Deus Vult, etcetera.

I bet none of her friends or comrades even remembered. Those Monsters.

I will point out it's a little more then just not coming to parties.

Every Amarr loyalist now has to question if it is appropriate to be seen in Drifter Fleets commanded by pilots from Rote. This affects ARC just as much as it does Lady Steward Lagann's corporation. CVA is still discussing its position on this so I can't comment further.

For other events hosted by pilots from Rote like the up coming AT viewing party, again the same question applies. Pilots from the Rote alliance that have little or nothing to do with this forum, or the wider capsuleer community we are a part of, have singlehandedly caused a diplomatic mess that the adults are going to have to sort out. Potentially for years to come.

It's these repercussions and the affect that they will have on genuine friendships that is at stake. I'm hoping for the sake of Lady Steward Lagann that we'll be able to move past this issue and continue as normal, but that just isn't guaranteed at this point.

For the sake of 'keks' as much as political statement, Rote has landed a number of their own pilots a pile of **** to deal with that they just plain didn't deserve, and it's already spreading to affect other groups and their interests.

I kindly ask again that the dog pile ends, everyone moves on, and we can be left to pick up the pieces of the ties damaged by this. Ties damaged quite directly by Rote's own hands.

The efforts of anarchists now are as futile as they a decade or more ago.

And have a slow clap at an appropriately slow cadence. Truly, your astuteness will be renowned down the ages my good sir.

The Federation is always welcoming of new citizens!

And to some they are freedom fighters.

Look at you, having a finger in every pie, as if some sort of an ultimate spymaster.

The "supervillain" bravado is getting old, Arrendis. I almost imagined you in a chair, striking a feline, staring at a screen.

I see when people try to manipulate me. Please don't.

And? That doesn't make them even iota better.

This discussion has veered rather far from its topic. Shall we return to it?
