Intergalactic Summit

It is indeed not that simple. People would need convinced that the post-Shakor Republic could be trusted to uphold diplomatic agreements.

I would hope someone who is known to behave with integrity would replace him. Elsebeth Rhiannon perhaps.

What other option is there, but to hope that it would not be someone tthat would make Shakor look like a saint ?

Denying dialogue is possible, may strengthen extremists, but at this point would it even make a difference? Did not the actions of the Elder Fleet provide an enormous strengthening of the extremists ? Did not Shakor reject dialogue and discussion as "Midularite Appeasement" ?

Elsebeth Rhiannon as Sanmatar ?

Well, that'd be something.

On the subject of foreign ministry, I don't know that such a thing is necessarily true, but it is true enough considering the Amarr simply stopped using diplomacy for a few centuries. It had existed in incarnations before, but I suppose it might simply be true what happens to a muscle you don't exercise. Atrophy sets in.

I may be misinterpreting your first point but, as far as an organization separate from and independent of its members, that seems to be a bit more nebulous. While for a time all organizational bodies were interconnected, today that is simply not the case. One might consider the Theology Council to be a separated version of earlier organizations. It is certainly true that the Privy Council may have a seat for the Theology Council, but in and of itself it is also an independent legislative body. Being a member of the church or Council proper definitely has broad sway to enforce its codes among all Amarrians regardless of rank (of course, as you said, whether or not this is true in practice is another matter). However, it is not considered a part of the Privy Council directly, only that it has had relatively more and less say as its number of assigned seats has wavered throughout history. Historians can probably point to several others, developed independently of Gallentean society.

I suppose it's difficult to claim to have originated a concept considering they seem to have common threads and corollaries that were developed independently of one another. Intergalactic diplomacy is comparatively new in the cluster, so unless we have adopted something directly since then, it isn't necessarily accurate to say it is one of our 'inventions'. As a man who can't claim to know everything about history, it might be true to say Gallente society was the first to develop it and thus has the most august of these institutions. Whether that is true or not, I think most of us can point to an organization in our government that is necessarily independent of, but still made up of members of, the government.

In the end, that might be simply because having an organization like CONCORD is a good idea in practice. Sometimes divorcing a governing body from the rest of its subjects governments gives it some ability for objectivity. Of course, it might also mean that the body simply acts in its own interests rather than the greater interest of its subjects. Obviously, CONCORD might have every reason to act similarly to every government without as much discrimination, but CONCORD also has no reason to promote intergalactic cooperation. If we do ever learn to get along in relative peace, CONCORD will probably find itself out of work.

It would not be the first time an organization has generated conflict simply to give itself a good reason to stay in power.

Besides the fact that some of them might have been complicit in the attack on Halturzhan and acted against their own ? They just left their offspring in a dire condition without much consideration for them since all the years they spent in this masquerade was not to protect their own children, but the Starkmanir tribe.

I do not feel especially anything. Good grief.

Cain Aloga do not be fooled the violence continues unabated everyday. Do not be seduced by the soft words of the ego driven clergyman, or his chorus of slavery loving apologists, and certainly not the foul utterances of traitors.

There will be peace when we take it with the power of our own hands, and enforce it with the power of our technological military prowess. With the support we have enjoyed from the Gallente and the Caldari we have our feet under ourselves well enough to plot our own path to liberty. The day will soon be at hand when we wrest freedom from the grip of the slavery cult and the Matari people cluster wide are free to settle where ever they might choose and be accepted as free citizens.

We must take what is ours, ours by birthright as humans. The Emissary of the One True God has come to give us this message of emancipation, you would do well to prepare to do your part.

I do not know this emissary, not of his message, but I can say that I agree with your fist sentence.

The Amarr have their Ideology, which propels them forward into conquering us all and subjugating us. They do not offer peace. The only way for us to achieve peace is for us to strengthen ourselves as a nation of tribes. We must strengthen our selves such that the Amarr would crash against our borders like insects against a wall. As I have said, the only way to achieve peace is for the Amarr to abandon their incisive lust for conquest and conversion. This will only happen once they see that they cannot, in fact conquer us, that we can match their strength, both culturally and militarily, and that their reclaiming has failed. Once they realize that they must learn to coexist with their neighbors, can there be peace.

In order for us to achieve this, we must strengthen our Republic in all aspects. Economically, socially, culturally, and yes militarily; we can not ignore any of these aspects in favor of any one. This will require that the Seven Tribes, finally reunited thanks to the Elder Fleet, work together and achieve this greatness.

All part of the Big Plan.

Of course, we'd have to teach her how to properly speak Sebiestor. Damned southerners.

Ms. Moore, given that it is no longer the "Shakor" Republic, but now organized differently, what are your thoughts? Is a peace possible given the new authorities in the Republic if the two sides were to arrive at the negotiation table?

Why did someone necro this?

The chest-beating and blustering will not advance anyone's understanding or settle your own demons. I hope you find some peace, spirits knows this cluster needs it.
