Intergalactic Summit

On the OP.

Captain Amith, I'd like to say to you the same thing I said to Seneschal Shutaq and the Knighthood of the Merciful Crown: You may consider me a supporter of your cause and the ideals your newly created Order stands for. If i may assist with anything, like neutral logistics or transportation during wartime or in hostile territory, just ask anytime.

Good luck.

Is this summit so apathetic that when a religious reclaimer proclaims the founding of another order devoted to the "salvation" of humanity, an individual who values freedom lashes out at it is ridiculed and insulted as the slaver zealot is congratulated? YOU PEOPLE MAKE ME SICK!

You think I cared about a toasters opinion in the first place? When did that cross your mind? The minute I shot your pseudo-leader in the skull and tossed his body over to the Syne Accord?

And who says I stand here representing the interests of the Caldari State? I am a freelance capsuleer, I move freely between all four of the empires and owe allegiance to no body or entity save my crew. When I speak it is not as a Caldari, but as someone who has seen the horrors of Amarrian zealotry time and again.

You have also failed to point out where Azdan Amith is a slaver zealot, aside from making assertions based on two facts:

1) He is amarrians
2) He is religious

I think you missed my point...I didn't mean their ships only, I meant their people. Ever got into an argument with a Sebeistor? They look frail but man do they pack a punch. Don't even get me started on Brutors. And where's the archive on this craftiness? Last I heard the Matari were kicking the Amarr's asses frequently.

Thank you for your graciousness, Sister Tamiroth. I would still very much like to meet with you at some point, we have much to discuss.

Oh where to begin. Lets start with CONCORD shall we? CONCORD exists for two primary reasons. Firstly to try and keep the cluster from being reduced to a cinder. Secondly, CONCORD exists to police the actions of capsuleers, with special emphasis on punishing capsuleer action against noncapsuleers. CONCORD response times are rather amazing when it comes to comparing them to any other law enforcement agency in the cluster.

Now lets move onto this business of clever slavers. You do realize that it is illegal for the Empire to take slaves from within the borders of a recognized sovereign nation? Of course simply being illegal doesn't mean it doesn't happen, however, and this is the important part, you're attacking a man who is publicly announcing he wants to combat exactly these sorts of things. You're saying you hate the Empire and giving your reasons, then attacking a man for wanting to fix some of the reasons you hate the Empire. Doesn't that seem incredibly silly and counterproductive?

Oh gods I hate that show.

Allow me first to commend you on your clarity and the wisdom behind it. I wish only to make a minor correction though your point will still stand. The Amarr don't intend on fighting your battle for redemption for you, that has never been our purpose. Our purpose is to show you that you need redemption and then teach you how to fight the fight yourself.

The Minmatar chose to fight us instead of fighting against the sins within themselves. Largely this is simply the spirit of the Minmatar, they rebel against the message of a righteous standard of expectations placed upon them by God and so they rebel against the heralds of that message. The spirit of the Minmatar burns for freedom and it did so long before the Amarr arrived, what little I know of your history reveals that much about you, you're fiercely independent and territorial people.

This naturally clashed with the message of submission and inhibition brought by the Amarr. When the Amarr did as we have always done and impressed the message upon the Minmatar in an attempt to save you in spite of your rebellion, believing that we could show you the truth behind the message and guide you toward God even while you resisted, the opposite effect occurred and the Minmatar rebelled in their hearts first and then physically. Compound this with incidents of unjust stewardship, malpractice in leadership and corruption from those charged with setting the example and guiding those under their charge and it is easy to see why the Minmatar were driven to cast away the chains placed upon them by hypocritical overlords and evil tyrants seeking to suppress their will and deny their independence.

The message may forever be in conflict with the greater majority of the Minmatar (though it is not beyond reception by a few as has been proven through those willingly following the Amarr faith and seeking to share it with their fellow Minmatar), but even the few that can be shown the path to salvation are worth the struggle. While the rebellion was due in part because of our failings as caretakers and guides, it was also due in part to the fiercely independent and strong spirit of the Minmatar people.

It is still our purpose to show you how to fight for redemption before God lest you perish in rebellion against him and we will continue in this purpose. Through the struggle, a few may be saved and that is worth the effort.
