Intergalactic Summit

My, my.

When the enemy is at your gate, how different a perspective it is, eh?

I am agreed on this....history shows us that the Amarr have only adapted to new threats when they have faced a crisis of untold proportions as seen in our history with the Jove and the subsequent Minmater Rebellion (undoubtedly the Jove most likely had a hand in that) .

This new crisis point may prove to redefine how the Amarr approaches it's war, perhaps using more strategy and wit then the old school 'win through superior firepower and overwhelming numbers' which we have seen so much of in our Empires past.

The only perspective I would gain from this would be further insight into the depravity of the one committing such an act.

So you'll happily insult other pilots for not joining the 24th IC whilst refusing to join it yourself.

I'm glad we've cleared that up.

What saddens me the most is that despite the Amarr's ability to win a victory it is truely the Minmatar whom are losing this war. On paper we look good, we hold systems, we have the confirmed kills and all the markings of victors, but the one goal by which most Matari would measure victory is as elusive now as it ever was, and that is the freedom of our people and the end of slavery.

If we win every victory from now until the time the last sun goes out in the cluster and the Amarr still hold our people, then we have lost. Systems do not matter if we do not have our kin.

The current state of the Amarr/Minmatar warzone is not one that can be measured in the metrics you propose in your original post. The truth is, while the Minmatar flag might fly over many of the systems, I would argue that the Minmatar are being used more like slaves than ever before.

Everything you see regarding the current state of the warzone has been foreseen according to plan.

It is a wonder, really. One could almost argue that the timely withdraw from the militia wars by entities such as PIE was the most honorable and loyal thing they could have done given the decline into base greed and system manipulation being practiced by so-called loyal capsuleers on both sides of the conflict.

Playing with lives for profit that you will only then spend to throw away more lives.

There is much work to be done.

It's fascinating. The posts LOOK like they're in response to somebody elses, but in fact they never address what the other person has said and simply recycle the same few lines AGAIN and AGAIN ad nauseum.

It's like a poorly written online marketing script.

This will be my last response to you because you are not interested in discussion.

Sadly, mistreatment of slaves does happen in the Empire. We have laws and a penal system in place for when it does happen and it still reveals the depravity and unrighteousness of the one committing the act. My words remain unchanged and yours remain filled with bitterness, hostility and ignorance.

I will be in prayer for your soul as it wanders apart from the truth. It is evident you have been wounded deeply in the past by sins committed against you or by you and I will pray those wounds mend with time and guidance.

But the Amarr have already outsmarted you in this regard. They're not fighting nearly as heavily as you are. In fact, they're making you lose the expenses, and suffer the tedium and cumbersome nature of factional warfare. They've effectively allowed you to control the star systems in question, stretching the Republic's administrative budgets to the breaking point as they try to install pro-Republic governments on worlds quite likely to outright reject them, while they themselves conserve their power and maintain the absolute security of their borders.

You may be an expert at killing, but you've been thrown a bone... and look how eagerly you gnaw upon it. You celebrate capturing a bunch of meaningless systems, and gain no greater strategic footing against the Amarr by holding them - can you tell me that the space you control in factional warfare permits you to rescue your people from the Throne worlds, where the bulk of their population is concentrated? Of course not.

I'm pretty good with foresight. A blessing sometimes, a curse most times. I can see where the balance of terror truly lies. And I can predict with fair accuracy that the original incursion by the Thukkers into Amarr space will be repaid. Jamyl wasn't kidding when she stated any acts against the Empire will be answered in equal... I'm betting she's just waiting for the best of your killers to grow weary of the constant stream of non-victories and non-conquests.

It's what I would do, were I in her position. She is one of the few strategic minds I truly admire.
