Intergalactic Summit

Amarrians like you are the true plague that rots the Amarr. Politicians and pundits who spend more time quoting scripture and performing PR for the empire rather than actually fighting for the empress. You spend your time trying to apologize and attempt to show political correctness to the Minmatar as if you answer to them and they are YOUR masters, while the Minmatar have been whittling away the warzone for months. I remember a time when the Amarr Empire was truly a sight to behold, before it became rife with Amarrian apologists and those who would rather insulate themselves from the realities of a crumbling empire with pretentious titles and first world luxuries.

The reality is that we're still deeply entagled in war. The Minmatar have been unrelenting in their assault and frontlines are much more brutal and savage than the holoreels would ever show. I admire men of action like Capitol One who aren't afraid to take do whatever is necessary, compared to cowards like you who wouldn't last a minute in an actual fight, being too busy spouting threats of salvation and judgement to notice incoming missiles or autocannon vollies.

In the end, the Empress will not save you. Saving yourself is the only way to bring glory to the empire. Bringing glory to your house through procedure and devout religious following is utterly useless when the house you are in is a smoldering ruin. So please, keep passing judgement and denouncing the only people how have been actively fighting the Matari, because regardless of whether or not you treat slaves well, their onslaught won't end until all of their people are free.

The pretentiousness and empty words that I would expect from an Amarrian such as you. You say that I don't know who you are, but i'm sure you're some self-proclaimed Amarrian with more titles than I have killmails, the naivety is definitely there. I suppose you would be completely happy when the Minmatar take over the entire empire as long as they leave people like you convents where you can practice religious procedure and enlightenment. While those two things are no doubt important, religious procedure does not keep the citizens of the empire safe from Matari terrorists, nor can an empire that loses all of it's space continue to enlighten.

Like I said before, this is the reason that the Empire is doing so poorly, fools like you that claim the "purpose and method"
behind fighting is more important than the results while fighting an enemy that has no qualms with engaging in total war. You would be fine with the empire crumbling and billions suffering the consequences of a select few dying in vain, as long as those few involved maintained roper religious procedure. That screams more of wickedness and self-service than anyone on the war front has done.

Ms. Feldman,

Father Amith operates a small chapel and a new corporation (best of luck!). He has shown himself to be modest and conservative, truly generous in his heart and compassionate in his actions. At the same time, he maintains strong convictions in his faith and his people. He doesn't deserve this verbal assault. If he chooses to become a combat pilot I am certain he will act with honour and care, and will bring distinction to his efforts.

But if he does not choose this path, he fights with his words instead. There are more battlefields than those between the stars; they are important as well.

Profit to your noble ventures.

You over-generalize. Some opponents be swayed by words, some cannot. It is folly to use a gun when a word is more effective, just as the opposite is true. Regardless, each should attend to their strengths, and Father Amith is nothing if not a strong orator.

Success to you, Pilot, but be warned - this recent action has painted your corporation as deeply untrustworthy. I hope that your public relations team are prepared for some long nights.

I believe that the point under consideration is that if we cast away our Faith then even if we win a battle, a campaign, a war, then we will still have lost the most important thing of all - ourselves.

The expansion. The slaves. The conquests. These are not the point, they are secondary to the purpose of the Empire - which is to fulfil God's plan. Now, I am no priest and no great Holder so I do not claim to possess the wisdom to help achieve God's plan for other people, but I can try and carry out his plan for me. I do not see the slaughter of innocents as being part of that plan and I cannot see how it can lead to anything good.

At the best (from my perspective) the killing of slaves adds a little more venom to an already too potent poison and that bile will, despite the efforts of honourable officers and soldiers in the TLF, be vented first on the populations of those worlds claimed and now lost. At the worst enraged TLF forces will forgo properly targeted justice in favour of wholesale, widespread and random vengeance, not only in Kourmonen but in other systems and other battles and against ANY ship or world under the sovreignty of the Empire.

You didn't see me cheering it at the beginning of this discussion. You won't see me mourning it now that it seems to have stalled.

In all truth it was never a REAL thing. It was simply a bunch of mercenaries putting in some overtime.
