Intergalactic Summit

Having recently payed attention to FW statistics and roamed through the contested region between the Amarr and Minmater I have been appalled at the Amarrain nations inability to hold onto anything let alone take anything.

Almost as soon as I leave amarian high sec into low I appear in Minmater controlled space, local completely empty bar the odd pirate and no sign of our militia, the Tribal's in their rust buckets openly discuss our shambles of a militia.

This has called myself to question our ability to fight, upon last checking we controlled a meager 4 systems in the contested territory with Minmater forces encroaching from all sides. Have we just given up or is this a new strategy among my Amarr cousins, to simply let people beneath us if not in culture then in technology walk all over us, how much further are we going to let the Minmater shame us in defeat after defeat.
Without a proper defense they will soon have their fleets above our throne worlds once more taken those who have worked so hard towards their enlightenment, where they will finally become one with our faith and walk among us.

Jamyl can only save us once, we still don't fully understand how she destroyed the elder fleet the first time, rumors range from the might of God himself to Jovian technology.

And reports are even coming through regarding the mere mortal ground troops, those without the immortal powers of the capsuleers are abandoning the fight, not those expected to be low on morale but those with high morale, those with a pure talent simply going MIA. Clearly once they see us immortals retreating in either fear or lack of morale they understandably view it as the end and leave before their mortal lives are cut short by the rampaging Minmater. Further information on this can be found in the following article made available through Scope news and exceedingly more worrying is that it appears to effect all factions MIA Troops

Amarr get together, get organised and fight back

Wars fought with words and egotism seldom last long. With the barbarians at the gates, the rulling class simply does nothing but pontificate on and on about the power of their god.

Prayers don't kill, well positioned munitions do. Violence is an easier religion to follow.

Could've fooled me.

Don't you have a sky god to go pray to? Or is it now that you've sacrificed your spine to organized religion, your flopping about is making it hard to do things?

Speaking of the viewpoint of an outsider with sources, the Amarr Militia itself has been suffering from multiple social-organizational problems that combine to seriously damage its effectiveness as a fighting force in addition to driving many capable capsuleers out due to the inhospitable behavior of fellow Crusaders, or so I have heard at least. Furthermore, the TLF was able to organize and take advantage of some of these issues, having been able to sustain a high level of operational readiness for an extended period of time and then leverage that to not only take large amounts of territory from the Amarr, but hold a resilient battle line as well. Furthermore, CONCORD's recent changes to the directives governing the militia wars unintentionally further tipped the situation in the favor of the Minmatar Militia.

If the original poster wishes to contact me via a private channel to discuss the "shop" matters related to technological evolution within the cluster that have impacted the effectiveness of Amarrian vessels, he is free to do so.

This is an interesting viewpoint. While I may not condone combat for combat's sake or sport, I respect and admire those seeking an honorable engagement. Perhaps we will meet on the field of battle one day.

Hopefully. It's a war that has to be waged, from either side. To abandon honor is to become a monster.
It's a shame so many profiteers have entered the conflict either side. I know the common capsuleer only cares about ISK, but it still aggravates me seeing them seep into Empire matters.
Hopefully they'll return into the lawless abyss and continue their horrendous crimes out there until a time when the 4 Empires can expand outwards. That could be an interesting turn of events... But I understand all 4 Empires are preoccupied with other matters.

The Amarr vs Minmatar conflict is a battle to the very foundations of what either stands for. The Minmatar must ride their hatred and thirst for vengeance until we're completely free, or we'll collapse into despair. The Amarr must push back and attempt to purify us and bring us back into the fold lest their entire faith and communal soul fails, they can't possibly fall.

Despite the immense emotion and the common view that slavery is flat out evil this conflict is far from black and white. Amarr should rally behind that fact. If the Amarr Empire truly is the only hope to save Humanity, their resolve must be absolute and their drive unstoppable. For all we know if the Amarr fail countless souls will never reach Heaven. It saddens me that Amarr seems to have the least amount of loyalists among capsuleers. The Empire should consider uplifting Amarr who actually behave like Amarr.

An Amarr with common sense. Look at that.

I liken the problem in Amarr to a lack of volunteers.

I was in Amarr some time ago and hit up an agent for a mission. They wanted me to prove my loyalty by taking a cargo of slaves.

Needless to say I didn't stay there for long.
