Intergalactic Summit

To paraphrase a smart person in this thread: "It astonishes me how you're able to state this and with the same breath do the very same thing yourself."

Fully-sanctioned taskforces? You have their orders in your hands or are you again projecting something?

The Amarr Navy is the largest in the cluster I can understand how 5% of it moving anywhere can appear like an invasion force.

Also I've 'harvested' my share of dog tags too you know. Both Amarrian from these raids and Gallentean for encroaching on our sovereign space.

Most of the time while mopping up said forces it was because you were assaulting out science stations. What? I thought you did in a few centuries what we did in thousands.... Why do you need our tech Sir?

All things aside back on topic if I can be so bold as to present that motion, I think the childish nature of the lesser races tenancy to froth and jump all over slavery issues without fixing their own nations issues first is cute.

Amarrs Economy is flawless, we have no poor or needy, everyone has a duty and a place in the world. Till you can challenge this with a better system (which you currently can't) all your arguments ring hallow.

No. You of all people should know I have no issue with making reparations as long as they are used for what they are meant.

Yes, simply yes.

It's not just the illegal Empire slave raids that concern me (I say 'me' as I'm not certain I speak for all of my people); it's the continued legally-sanctioned enslavement of millions of people.

Offering to help eliminate the illegal raids is a noble gesture, and I'm sure the offer is appreciated -- but it's a hollow gesture to eliminate the illegal forms of slavery whle maintaining an institution that directly supports so-called 'legal' slavery.

Now, if there were concrete steps towards Empire reform, outside of the few scattered instances you've mentioned, then we might have a place from which to begin a dialogue. As it is, all we see is the Empire trying to save face by 'doing the right thing', while maintaining the status quo behind the scenes.

I need proof of the Empire's sincerity in its attempts at reconciliation.

Not more words.

Proof.

Here they go again. Aren't you all tired of repeating the exact same things again and again ? It is counterproductive.



Mr Sadik is an Elder ?

It's difficult to accept that we all are at fault for the situation we currently find ourselves in, that with every day it looks less and less like we'll have a peaceful solution, and that there is preciously little we can do about that.

I'm not one of the Elders who have come to so much publicity with fancy war fleets, if that is what you thought it meant. The term is used in general as a honorific and acknowledgment of status. That is, she was simply being courteous (on IGS an entirely unexpected but very welcome event).

Most titles are capitalized, I think? Holder, Admiral ...

Until about four years ago, there was not much of a chance of confusion there. The Elders were assumed to be a myth by most. I know the term as a honorific of some form or another for much longer than that - many clans have a Council of Elders, say. I also have to admit the possible confusion never occurred to me. Due to the somewhat seclusive life style of the Elders, it's rare that you'd address them. And I'm quite unsure about what the correct address would be, should I ever meet one. "Elder" as well, I guess.

Fascinating question. I wonder if there are lore books left from the time before the day of darkness that cover such. Hm.

At the same time as this move, you also called for a new Reclaiming of the remaining Minmatar. I'm very happy you freed these people,[1] but I wouldn't quite call that a move towards peace.

Quite true. The most important goal above all others is the salvation of souls.
