I look forward to seeing proof of that action. Do link the battle report once it parses.

I don't know. Imagine a bounty so high that even his own slaves begin to rise against him. Imagine being cast out from his home because his even his neighbors and local friends come for his blood. Imagine never being able to sit still for a moment or else he finds a bullet in his head. I think Nauplius dying alone, afraid, and on the run could be quite climatic!

I say let the Amarrians do it. They want him dead just as much as we do, if not more (albeit for different reasons). I think it's poetic justice if he's mauled by the same people he was trying to provoke into similar acts of mass murder - plus, it'll be a great chance for the Amarr to prove that they do indeed have standards, and it means we don't have to waste time or money on hunting him down ourselves.

Everybody wins! Except Nauplius.


While it would be good, for the Empire to take care of him themselves. There is a lot of paperwork and lobbying in the way of such a thing. Where as a bounty hunter could take care of the job literally this very second.

Can't we just enslave Nauppie and stuff him full of vetoc? It would solve more then putting a bounty on his head and costing him nothing more then a clone.

A little trust goes a long way. The less you use, the further you'll go.

Some of us have already been hunting this rabid dog for some time without any financial incentive. The problem is that when he sees in local the name of anyone he fears has come to kill him, he simply refuses to undock.

As a public service to any who would care to join the fun, the coward typically hides in the 24 IC Logistic Support station at planet Mehatoor VI. Be aware that this is a high sec system those of you who, like me, are KOS in Amarr space. It is, however, only one jump from Raa, a low sec faction warfare system.

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

I defended no fewer than nine holy Amarrian complexes yesterday, all in low sec, defeating a foul aggressor from Native Freshfood in the process. My critics think me a coward simply because my flight schedules and theirs do not much overlap.

Well, Mr. Nauplius, I would like to remind you, that you were talking to a deluded minmatar, who is good only in running away from combat.
What you did with your slaves is not my business, and I stand aside from this conflict, but if you will manage to turn this minmatar into frozen corpse (that will require baiting or chasing her, of course), or even better, take her as your new slave, I will sincerely applaud to you.

Your gallentean propaganda is as stupid as everything else gallentean.
For example, I myself have greater bounties than him, in, like, more than 10 times. Which I got for actual doing my honest work.
And, you will be surprised, but these bounties never gave me any problems yet.

I will keep an eye on how this your clownery with bounties will work...

Then I wonder why someone broke into your quarters and nearly killed you outside the pod a few months back.

In fact, I didn't have bounty back then, and he only stole my panties.

Now that the heretic has shown his true colours, I will happily compensate and remunerate you for your losses to and kills of the pilot Nauplius. I should not have to say that this only applies to him, but I will. This also applies to combat only after his atrocity.

Ms. Nairn,

I am sure that you have experience with operations in high security space, as your coalition has now descended on Jita twice now.

No one can declare war on the 24th Imperial Crusade as a corporation, as it is a government entity. Those at war with the Empire are able to shoot him, but will be attacked upon entry into Imperial high security.
Pursuant to CONCORD treaties, he is granted docking rights in almost any station.
Warp interdiction spheres are prohibited in secured space, so it is always possible for him to break out of a station, even if our pilots are at the docking bay entrance with lasers ready.
There is no way for a capsuleer to expel a member of the 24th Imperial Crusade.
For 24th Imperial Crusade pilots to attack him, even in low security space, they will be punished by Crusade Command with a standings penalty and risk expulsion from the militia.
Through neutral agents and freight services, he would be able to acquire another million slaves on the SCC market, as well as another freighter and simply undock. While no Imperial pilot would attack, he simply has to self destruct.

Despite all that, Imperial pilots are out, looking for this heretic to engage him. No, there will not be a clash of titans as in B-R5BR, but we are making an attempt to do the best we can. Which is why I offered support to Ms. Rella. If two persons cannot agree to work together to stop such evil, then the cluster is truly lost.

Lady Savonarola, your analysis is thorough and well written; what you describe constitutes the very reason Ms. Nairn is correct.

Under circumstances such as this, psychological warfare represents the most effective technique for changing capsuleer behavior. On that front, however, all signals to date have been counter-productive (at least from the perspective of anyone who actually wants to change or punish the behavior at issue). Calls for execution buttress the target's theological construct.

But let's be honest: the Cohort's opprobrium is contrived. That is not directed at you, my dear, but the larger whole.

Nauplius should be given credit for using a very old trick on very old dogs and getting them to howl on key.

In the interests of fair disclosure, of course, my only real regret about the incident is that the Republic still exists. Yes, I'm a harmless version of Diana with a different bete noire on that point (further yes, at least two levels of irony). Killing the Matari is not my thing. I just want to see their government destroyed, the Sebiestor re-chained, and the other Tribes living wild, free, and dispersed among the stars Out There Far Away in a manner that is, you know, actually "tribal."

You speak of hardship, or dare I say boredom, as a drawback here.

If we amoral goons and other folks in the CFC can devote a couple thousand pilots to shutting down and locking down an active staging system full of hostile starbases and hundreds of hostile pilots for a week in shifts, for no personal benefit and with no more motivation than at the request of our Dear Leader, then surely the truly faithful and righteously offended of this Summit, who have strong feelings about this issue and who deeply believe morality and Scripture motivate them, ought to be able to commit a few pilots to watching for a single man in a single station.

Already enough people have spoken up, promising action and swearing vengeance, that they could pair up and take shifts to ensure round-the-clock surveillance and readiness. While it is true that catching him may be so difficult that it nears impossibility, should he choose to do nothing but flee in interceptors, it is also true that two pilots also in interceptors could easily follow him to wherever he may run and guarantee in their pursuit that he causes no more mischief. Were one truly motivated by right, or by God, then surely the duty of waiting for this man to undock for hours or days at a time would seem a small task entirely unworthy of complaint or even acknowledging as a hardship.

If one were truly interested in backing up one's words with actions to match, then that is exactly what we would see: patient endurance; stalwart vigilance; and; eventually, when the man had grown weary and finally made a mistake, a battle report of the incident.

I look forward to seeing that report, but I will not hold my breath waiting.
