Coms channel for Minmatar pilots and allies.

Hello all.

Minmatar pilots, and our allies, are a varied lot, and we are spread over the width and breadth of the cluster; too rare are the times when we can speak with one another in peace, reconnect with our kin, or simply relax and chat with others without the interference or unwelcome presence of enemies.

To that end, I have re-purposed an old coms frequency;

The Standing Place

This is a channel for all who are friends of the Minmatar people, as well as, of course, Minmatar themselves, to converse, relax, and maybe even find some like-minded people to share your stories and Path with. This channel is quite closed, of course, to all who are enemies of the Minmatar people, and in the interest of those who may be recently freed, or having had traumatic previous experiences with slavery, any known slavers of ANY faction will be immediately banned from the channel.

This channel is for Minmatar pilots and their trusted allies. It is, of course, open to all who fit this description. Please conduct yourselves as mature pilots in the channel, but feel quite free to be yourselves.

Spirits guide you all,

Avlynka Tarkja Surionen

The Standing Place is a good environment. Ever since you Ava and most of the other pilots moved on to other VR rooms, I and other members of my corporation Clone Red Creations have continued to inhabite it. The quietness was a good fealing to come to when trying to rest from the action on the Summit. Occationaly I would see a face other then those of my corporation but for the most part it was a good place for meditation. I and my friends look forward to meeting new faces and friends.

Edit due to new thoughts
I am however sad that the VR address to the room is offline and that it has been reduced to that of a comm network. I had liked my time sitting upon the cushions in front of the fire. Even though I was but a holo there, it was good times.

Let's just say that the stress levels, confrontation levels and general drama levels promise to be much less than certain other capsuleer venues that shall remain nameless... Smile

It's refreshing not to be harassed by overzealous types who wish to force their religious and other viewpoints on the rest of us.

Are Caldari welcome? I don't know all that much about your culture, but I wouldn't mind expanding my horizons if it's not too much of a bother.

As per the original post, anyone who does not have a history of supporting slavery and who is not engaged in hostile behavior against the Minmatar people is welcome. Part of the channel's purpose is so that others might meet Minmatar individuals for themselves, and not form opinions of us from heresay and a small sample.

In short, yes, Caldari are allowed, provided they follow the rules. EM Has Caldari members, and we are very proud of them. It is a Minmatar channel; what better place could there be for those who wish to learn about us a bit?

What about Matari who own slaves? I am friends with a bunch of those, as you might suspect, but please do cater to my undying curiosity. Just as a hypothetical situation, regarding your rules or admittance, would they be welcome or not?

Or did I misinterpret something and this is a political channel masquerading itself as an ethnic one?

Anyone who owns slaves can find another venue.

I acknowledge no Matari who owns slaves as Minmatar.

Many of the channel's users, much like its founder, will be people who have experienced slavery, and part of its purpose is a place where healing from that experience, in some small way, can be accomplished, by speaking with others and finding mutual support and understanding.

You dont have whiskey vendors at meetings for recovering alcoholics.

We do not permit slave holders in a channel aimed at the group of people most negatively impacted by slavery.

You shouldn't victimize, or rather patronize your channel patrons like that. But I guess you Republicans are like that. Can't go against the flow, hm?

Thank you for your answer in any case.

Thank you for telling me what I should and shouldnt do, in a channel who's purpose is to allow Minmatar people to converse "away from their enemies".

You may want to train reading comprehension to 1 and reread the OP.

It was a suggestion, not an order. For that, I'd have to put a slave collar around your neck first, ms. Surionen. I know my manners, unlike some.

And regarding your OP, I have read it. I was just asking about a little grey spot you left open there, regarding matari people who own slaves. As you might know, the term 'minmatar' is often considered an ethnic, rather than a political one. It's more a matter of your writing than my reading, in that sense.

No, I am still pretty sure its your reading.

"People of any faction who own slaves will be immediately banned from the channel"

Is pretty clear.

*it's

Also, in the context of some people thinking 'minmatar' being an ethnic term, which I have encountered a lot of times...

Quote:
This is a channel for all who are friends of the Minmatar people, as well as, of course, Minmatar themselves...


This one could be rather misinterpreted. I simply helped to make your message be more clear. No need to be so hostile, mon chere.

Your attempt to speak ancient Gallentean sucks as much as your logic, Caine. Please go back to torturing, kidnapping and killing innocents and leave the rest of us decent people in peace.

Maybe you should start your own channel for slavers. At least you wouldn't get perma-banned from that one.

When the world is running down, you make the best of what's still around.

Ava, I know I'm in my cousins corporation, that she has slaves. But may I join the channel?..

Some things have happened, I want to return to the place I called home more then anything else in the world.
As for my cousin.. I'm trying to change her without hurting her. I still care for her regardless of her holdership, shes the only family I have apart from my grandparents.

What about Minmatar who don't own slaves but come from a religious background?
