Disciplinary action for you must be a piece of cake to implement eh?

By the way, I must commend your gall to simultaneously fault me for posting supporting links and accuse me of making unfounded claims -- in the same sentence, no less.

If you post the picture of Dam-Torsad and say that it is not the capital of the Empire, you are still making an unfounded claim despite the picture. You might have forgotten that the thread you posted actually involved an argument, but since you don’t seem to read and/or understand what you are posting, I can understand what you deem “supporting.”


You want us to ignore the cause of the arguments apparently, which was your screed. That's why you object every time it comes up. I am very much aware of the arguments, which is obvious, as I keep referring to them. It is you that fails at reading comprehension if you truly believe otherwise.

Yeah. I don't know about you, but ice scream when Odelya tries to brag like this. Why can't she just act instead of this having this ego fueling parfait?

While her monetary resources may be substantial given her birthright, I'm assuming it's because she doesn't enjoy much capsuleer support that she cannot buy.

Something of a shame for you. You can help the Stormcrows attack PIE or you can help PIE fend off the Stormcrows, but if you want to voice your displeasure in your preferred manner to Odelya in person, I feel you might find it more difficult to make the appointment.

It's something of a quandary for me, as I've a great amount of respect for PIE and the work it does, but I also have several members of Stormcrows to respect. I can't say I wish either ill, so I feel somewhat saddened by any losses incurred in this little manufactured conflict.

I've noticed that those who are culturally Amarrian and Gallente tend to have some 'pushback' when they try to assimilate the concept of 'Just Business'. I suspect this may be due to having an over-arching plank of some sort that helps them assess the rectitude of their every action. Faith in the case of the Amarr and a Cause in the case of the Gallente.

As a good Caldari, I've never had an issue socialising with someone that I'm nominally in combat with, because duty is separate from personal feelings. Of course when you do engage Caldari on personal ground, they're every bit as emotional as the next person but, for us, the fact that shooting is involved doesn't necessarily make it personal.

I also have friends in both organisations. I'm coping with this by staying out of the middle.

I understand that to you, this war is a momentous occasion. You think you are defending your honour, after all.
You searched for someone who will bring your wrath and vengeance to those who have outed you as a disgrace to your ancestors. You found a band of warriors who would take your plight to the stars and inflict righteous fury upon those who you deem unworthy. You (well, someone else) have declared war upon the mighty and stubborn PIE Inc. Watch as you (well someone else) bring this institution to its knees!
To us, it was a Tuesday.

We have a job to do, and the Stormcrows are an inconvenience. We receive more resistance from Shakor's terrorists than your hired sword.

We don't have to fight this war at all.

Yeah, I try not to make friends with people unless they can be blown up and still meet for coffee later.

I always thought you would be somewhat annoyed that you have to tell people you dislike them here rather than somewhere in questionable space with weapons.

Precisely, we live and fight every day in a warzone.

This is a minor distraction we'd prefer not to have to deal with, but it's not a crisis for us. We do condemn the act of a member of a highly valued allied corp hiring out mercenaries to attack us on general principle.

If your interpreting my willingness to speak with you as a sign that you've broken us and we want peace at any cost, well ... you'll be greatly disappointed.

I don't tell people. I just find them and shoot...the hell you think I've been doing these past months?
