My thanks for the invitation Anatole, was certainly a first.

I got caught up in the crowd and just kept on going. Amazing experience.

This was the 'Raver's Code' that was so popular back in Caille City, in case anyone's still wondering. Fast, hard beats, lights, and enough drugs to put half the Federation in cardiac arrest.

Good times.

This is... quite disturbing. Are none others reminded of the promises delivered by Sansha during his Nation's rise to power? A century has passed, but we cannot have forgotten such important historical lessons. We should be greatly suspicious of those who promise "utopia."

Sorry I couldn't make it hon, my agoraphobia and a little corp we had to evict took precedence. So very glad to hear it was popular though, and even more glad that you had a great time.

Maybe next time for me.

Why?

The concept of a utopian society is not new, merely something that has come to the forefront of social commentary in recent years. The end result, for better or for worse in your eyes, has always been the same; it is something that cannot be achieved without sacrifices along the way, and has always been designed with the irrelevancy of conflict as part of its end state .

If that scares you then it stands to reason that you are scared of the unknown.Whilst it is regrettable that you feel the need to judge that which you do not understand, it is only human nature. It's just a shame that you feel the need to scream out your paranoia to the masses.

Anatole is about as bent on galactic domination as I am to get involved with the superficial politics and illusory chest beating in IGS. I can confirm that he's merely a legit lover of fine music and company. There's no hidden agenda in his events.

Utopia though? Personally I find the concept naive, merely because it's based on idealism and not reality. Reality is governed primarily by our instincts as people: greed, passion, envy and desire. It always has and always will be our nature. It's not political to seek utopia, it's social change. You need to push for change in the mindset of every individual capsuleer, which is maybe the point of The Massive? (aside from many sweaty bodies and thumping headaches the day after).

Ms. Roseburn is, as her corporation would attest, a supporter of Sansha's Nation. I find that even the worst of Amarr slavers are nothing compared to the abominations the nation puts forth as "aiding humanity." Though I possess limited capacity to fight the Nation's mighty warships at this moment, I can promise that as I gain in skill, I will take every opportunity to fight that abominable organization.

Personally I'd worry more about those Gallente.

But thankfully I'm currently retired from State service so need not worry about such divisions. Sansha, froggies, monkeys? All trespassers are equal in deep space, politics is all but meaningless here.

Hey beau. A promise alright? Just because I would like nothing more than a utopian society where no one has to ever be afraid of hate and anger from others. Where everyone can be themselves regardless of age, gender identity, political alignment, nationality, and whatever more labels you can hang on a person doesn't mean I am able to change the universe with a party. I am not that naive.

But if I can get but one person to open their eyes. Just allow one person to see the wonder of loving instead of hating here in th cluster. If I can get someone to have that experience. Than I have accomplished my goal in making this universe we live in a slightly better place.

It's telling really that Ms. Roseburn was there and danced, just like the rest of us she danced until we ran out of night, and then we danced some more. So maybe next time you feel like coming over, and see with your own eyes what people can do when they check their hate and anger at the door.

You know, if you had just said "I'm going to hold a rave" right from the start instead of being all cryptic and stuff I probably would have made more of an effort to get to this.

I'm sorry you couldn't make it. But there will be more. As for simply stating 'I'm going to hold a rave". I could have done that, if my intention was to simply hold a rave.

But my intentions are beyond a rave, I want to promote tolerance and love throughout the cluster.

I will make sure to send you an invite again next time well in advance.

Oh. Tolerance. Yeah never mind. If you ever plan to just do a rave without the tolerance let me know.

I think you're reading a little too much into my attendance Anatole. I came because I was intrigued by what you had planned, and stayed because it was a bloody good party. Peace is something we can all subscribe to, it's when you start discussing how to get there that the opinions differ into conflict.

You will probably find it regrettable that you haven't managed to "open my eyes", and that is understandable; your zeal for Alexylva Paradox's movement is admirable, but you will have to present your argument in a fashion that doesn't provide ample means for distraction if you wish to change my mind.

Oh don't worry, I'm not reading anything into it. I am glad you were intrigued and stayed because you had fun. In the end that is all that matters. I'm sorry if it seemed that my comment was focussed purely on you.

And I am all for discussing peace in a different venue, different place with a lot less distractions. My zeal for the Paradox's cause is because I find it aligns greatly with my own view of the universe.

In the end, there was a party, and people had fun. And for a short time there together we were in fact at peace. No one fought anyone, no hate towards each other, no fear of whomever was present. To be able to be ourselves without anyone else judging us. And to me, that means a lot.
