Freddy my boy, you are just too funny.

It would seem you haven't been following along. Do some more research on who the players are, who has been speaking, and maybe re-read our discussion.

Then get a good night's sleep, eat a proper breakfast, and try again.



Dismissing me when proven wrong or just too lazy to read is quite juvenile I'm afraid.

Trust me, I know what's going on. I've not only reported on these events but my new evening news show "Fred Fred Freederation" has seen quite a bit of success with it's first episode discussing such a topic. We had people from across New Eden share their thoughts live and we the discussion continues on Galnet!

I will take up on your suggestion for sleep and a breakfast though, I've been horribly busy.

Watch_ Fred Fred Frederation_ and stop [u]cryptozoologist[/u]! Fight against the brutal genocide of fictional creatures across New Eden! Is that a metaphor? Probably not, but the fru-fru- people will sure love it!

"You cannot relocate or intimidate a true loyal Gallentean."

Loyalty is not magical protection shield against forcible physical relocation, you twit.

Unarmed civilians are among the easiest populations to intimidate, for obvious reasons. As I suspect you have little experience on either end of that spectrum, your opinion has little worth.


"With cloning, killing us is pretty hard too. "

An infinitesimal percentage of the Federation population has access to cloning. Unless you thought I was referring to capsuleers, which means you didn't comprehend the discussion's focus around civilians. Again, you are wrong.



What you are talking about is genocide on a massive scale. How can you even justify such an act?

A few hundred thousand or a few million out of a pool of billions does not a Genocide make. And you are speaking to someone who released half a million slaves in bondage so another capsuleer would shut his filthy mouth for two weeks on this very forum. My course of action would set a very clear set of consequences for the Ethnic Gallente to consider before causing trouble on Caldari Prime.


"Also, we still don't know who the hell blew up that damn building. Due to your oppressive government, I can safely say that it's just as likely that your own people or even your own government destroyed the Provist headquarters. "

It doesn't matter who blew up the building. It has the appearance of harming State interests and undermining State occupational authority, hence reactions to be directed against the Gallente.


"And do you think the Federation would just sit idly by as you do this? History has shown that us Gallente tend to have vendettas against those who have wronged us."

Quite correct, and expected. Brutalising the Gallente population on Caldari Prime has the benefit of establishing total control while simultaneously goading a response from the main Federation Navy.


"We will never fire the first shot, but you can be damn sure that when we retaliate it's going to hurt for a long time. Look at what happened when Kador tried to invade Federal Space. We completely overkilled his fleet. "

As has been discussed many times previous, the whole shebang was about Imperial House politics, sweety. Fed Navy was a convenient pawn to use for a re-allocation of House Kador assets and shoring up of Jamyl's authority. If you were being invaded you bright young thing, I think the Empire could swing more than 200 warships. [quote]


"The Federation is like a nesting Eagle. Don't touch our nest or harm us and we will leave you alone. If you mess with the Eagle though, your going to get it's talons. "

Atrociously poor metaphor. F-


Also, what would CONCORD think of such a despicable act? The consequences for the State would be disastrous. They would never attempt such a thing (maybe with Tibus Heth in power they might) and most Caldari would never hope for it (unlike you), however if the government decides to be foolish then things will go real bad.

The same thing they thought when the Republic attacked CONCORD and tried to invade the Empire, which is to flail their arms, yell at everyone, and arrive to the too party fashionably late.


"Only the worst Gallenteans think that the Caldari are monsters and vice versa. There is good and bad on each side. I don't think the Caldari are monsters. Their government? Oh certainly, but not the Caldari people. NEVER the Caldari people. In the few years I lived away from my home and in the Caldari State, I've experienced more kindness and generosity from random Caldari strangers than outside my circle of friends and relatives in the Federation."

And the Caldari government is made up of.... that's right, Caldari. Governments aren't some illusive entity, they are comprised of those very citizenry you fight. In the case of the State, the government is made up generally of the citizens which MOST embody their society and fit in and perform the best. If you have issue with their government you have issue with their people.

"Trust me, I know what's going on."

I hope some of my responses have established why no one should trust you, and why you clearly have -no- idea what is going on.

Thank you!

It is perhaps an old trope in this arena, but I'll remind you that criticizing someone for continuing to post in a thread while continuing to post in the same thread yourself is an ineffective strategy.

If you do not care about your reputation then you would be the first capsuleer of the modern era to do so.

You are therefore a liar or a fool, or a common mixture of both.


And Anslo as this is a thread that I started, it is likely I will be responding to posts contained therein often. Generally how these things work.

Miss Vitalia

If its a full scale war that is what you wish to acomplish, then yes... what you are suggesting is only to sway or change the minds of those in the Federation tha dont want war, as it stands, there isent a political will nor the public support, remember the federation is a Democracy with all its flaws, commiting genocide will however most likely wake up a sleeping industrial juggernaut...

And no matter how you twist and turn, without a solotions both sides can accept, things will only repeat itself many years later... pouring gas on a fire never really solves anything, except more fire, unless thats what you wish !

The federation is not a juggernaut. More a sprinter, since it cannot sustain in its people the protracted bloodlust required for a total war. The standard of living in the federation is relatively high, everyone likes ther creature comforts and everyone enjoys their little hobbies, whether its dancing, drinking or just shopping for whatever. Then along comes total war with rationing, conscription and curfews. Suddenly you can't go out clubbing, you're working more hours and getting paid less for it, no more coffee breaks and cushy office jobs, you're heading down to the ammunition factories and you're waving your two point five kids goodbye as they are taken from you and fed into the maw of the war machine. And all the while you've got this niggling doubt that today a Caldari fleet could wander into your system and decide to take revenge for when the Gallenteans bombed Home again. This would naturally shock the Gallentean system quite badly, but not as badly as the Black Eagles suddenly becoming much more prevalent. All your calls are being recorded, some of your friends have disappeared after they laughed at a joke about Mentas Blaque. This naturally worries you as you laughed too.
So you vote for an end to the war and if enough people are stung by the same shortages and rationing, they will vote with you, I give it five years, ten tops.

There is a sleeping juggernaut that has got the power for total war, the manpower to begin it and the will to continue it. That juggernaut however is not the Gallenteans.

I do this for many reasons. I do it because I believe it is right. I do it because I will profit by it. These all consolidate into one reason: I do it because I can.

Its never wise to underestimate ones enemy, or question their untested resolve. The last time the State and Federation went at it the war lasted a hundred years and climaxed in the second largest battle in New Eden's known history. Ms. Ivory isn't incorrect to caution against the Federations potential military might and slumbering war industry.

The same however goes for the State as well. When common cause is given, the State reacts.

It is not a hard choice. According to battle scenarios, the ideal solution for planet pacification is the extermination of the Ethnic Gallente and Gallente sympathizers. This will minimize State casualties while ensuring completion of objectives.

I can tell you a story, a story about two nations, very diffrent in ideology and politics... one of the nation built their sociaty on disciplin and codes, while the other a great industrial nation and Democracy... To cut things short, the nation built on discplin and sacrifice for their people and emperor decided to launch a sneak attack on the Democracys navy... in that attack alot of civilians and a big chunk of the Democracys naval power were oblitereated... but the sheer maner in how this was made, led to that day lived on as the day of infamacy... it dragged the Democracy into a war, they were blind set to win, turning their industry into one thing, a military jugger naut... and it dident stop untill it nuked the home countrys nation and demanded unconditional surrender

Re-run your battle scenario's to take into account that the vast majority of the populace is ethnic Gallentee then consider the shame such actions would bring to your ancestors.

Not particularly. Remember the last time someone bombed someone else's homeworld from orbit?
I believe we're still picking our way through that mess.
However if you'd prefer, I can do ass logic too.
Ammunition is expensive, the amount of ammunition of sufficient calibre required for the suppression of Caldari prime's Gallentean population whilst keeping a sufficient accuracy level to avoid damage to the caldari population would require a very large number of shells. It would also take far too long and tie up too many assets that would be needed elsewhere.

As it has been clearly demonstrated by, pretty much every civilization in New Eden, loyal citizens of country will not go down without a fight. These insurrections on Caldari Prime, while I do not support them, clearly show that people, especially Gallenteans, will not go quietly.

Unarmed civillians are not easily intimidated I'm afraid. The brave Kaalakoita workers that took a stand against tyranny in the State a few weeks ago did not let a fully armed force of oppression stop them from standing up for what they believed in.

Most dictionaries currently define genocide as "the deliberate systematic extermination of a national, racial, political or cultural group".

Is having a Caldari to Gallente "exchange ratio" not systematic? Would the destruction of entire Gallente cities not be deliberate? We already know you are specifically targeting Gallenteans. Sounds like genocide to me.

And you released half a million slaves just to prove someone wrong? Seems like you are easily manipulated and care far too much about what people think of you. Kudos for releasing the slaves, even if for the wrong reason.

Quote:
It doesn't matter who blew up the building. It has the appearance of harming State interests and undermining State occupational authority, hence reactions to be directed against the Gallente.


So just because it conflicts with the State's interest, that automatically makes the Gallente responsible? You are absolutely insane. There are many groups other than the Gallente that would conflict with State interest, many of them of Caldari origin.

If by re-allocation of assets you mean happy Gallente salvagers flying in after the battle to sell rare Amarrian ship components in our economy then I guess you are correct. Not sure what good that would do for Kador of course but that's beside the point.

That was because of the Elder fleet attack on the Yulai station. With the CONCORD network online if such an event were to occur, CONCORD could do quite a number on the State just by signing a few documents For example, they could no longer recognize the States sovereignty causing hundreds of parties to descend upon this "open" territory like vultures.

If you have issue with their government you have issue with their people.


Politicians are very different from factory and office workers. Also, as a result of Tibus Heth's various measures to keep him and his thugs in power, the Caldari meritocracy has been dead for several years now. I've seen it first hand. People who are clearly fit to elevate their position in society are being put down. I was actually still living in the State when Heth took power. I was friends with someone who worked in the mailroom of a Caldari corp, he managed to get his degree in accounting is a brilliant mathematician, he's still in the mailroom. Caldari citizens have found making their lives better difficult due to Tibus Heth.

Under the Amarr Paradigm, it is not necessarily desirable to kill, well you know... everyone.

It is often not the profit maximizing solution - and by profit, I mean, generally, getting back more than you put in. It is true that killing everyone may reduce the security margin to zero (ignoring frothy retaliatory external cost centers stirred up by total obliteration), but it is also true that dead people cannot be shown the Light, enslaved, tortured erotically, or otherwise put to good use... what's that sweetie?

Reanimation? Yes... yes, Mummy is working on that, but oh, look! It's bunny boy play time! Off you go!

Where was I?

Right, dead people. Whole bunches of them. I'm afraid there is some large number that will have to die for this all to be resolved for more than three months at a time, no stopping that now; however, I would hesitate to suggest that it should be the whole kit and kaboodle of Caldari Prime's Gallente population (followed shortly thereafter by the rest of Caldari Prime's population, and possibly the populations of other planet's in the system). What's that sweetie?

Yes, yes, Menzoberranzan Luminaire is still a go, keep digging! Oh, they're so cute when they dig!
