Cautiously optimistic about this. If further progress can be made towards returning full control of the planet to the Caldari, we'll be well on the way to a lasting peace and an end to the proxy war.

What? This Reppola is going to lick gallentean buttocks again?
Is this his hobby now?

I hope Ishukone peoples will come to senses sooner and boot out this disgraced CEO from their corporation.

Men's Repolla needs an Aidonis Award. He's done more to promote peace between the Gallente and the Caldari in just a few years than both of our nations have done in two centuries.

Puzzling that the article states that there has only been, "Muted disapproval" and, "Visible outrage" at Ishukone's move. I can only posit there must be some inherent bias in the piece that does not adequately give voice to such a momentous occasion as Ishukone-Federal collaboration. Where is the news of the fireworks? The guns firing in salute? They certainly must have sounded, but have been silenced by the author's pen for as it stands there appears to be some tacit implications that the news has shifted Ishukone into a political position that is sharply at odds with a majority of State corporate institutions and I daresay (even the thought wounds me, like a barb through the heart) even the majority of Caldari citizens!

Such is the pain and burden I feel, in my soul and upon my shoulders, that neither the article author nor Nugoeihuvei sought fit to report the joy, and the overwhelming gratitude Caldari today must feel at the notion of Ishukone leadership walking hand-in-glove together with their peers, their allies, and their ever-lasting friends in the Federal Senate.

Shocking, truly, to even think Ishukone would face either approbation or condemnation by the Caldari majority over their decision, today.

This is quite interesting news. Hopefully the talks are productive, and I would also be rather curious to see what Repolla had to say if he is in fact en route.

Hopefully the rest of the State can look past their jealousy of Ishukone and we can continue towards stability.

What good fortune, Gesakaarin, that the State is not a democracy. What good fortune that Kaalakiota and Lai Dai aren't active on Caldari Prime-- though such a thing could never really happen, as KK and Lai Dai would never stoop to diplomacy.

You keep fighting your eternal war. Ishukone Okusaika will tend to Caldari Prime.

What kind of diplomatic meeting requires its participants to arrive in a convoy of transports escorted by armoured units?

One on a planet lousy with operatives from a clandestine organisation that has a habit of acting under its own counsel only.

I must admit that I am concerned about the lack of transparency in Ishukone's actions lately. They should remember that Home is for ALL Caldari and not just citizens of Ishukone. Only when all factions have an interest in the success of the peace will the peace endure.

For the first time since I started the conversation, he looks me dead in the eye. In his gaze are steel jackhammers, quiet vengeance, a hundred thousand orbital bombs frozen in still life.

Perhaps I was less than clear with my point, Pieter.

The unusual part of the diplomatic group wasn't that there was security attached to it - it was the report there was a convoy of transport-sized vessels required to get them there. I regard it as unusual to need convoys of transports to move a few diplomats and their aides around, especially if one is trying to remain discreet in their operations. However, if one's purpose is to quietly move something beyond a few diplomats a convoy coupled with a story that misdirects inquiry into its real purpose could prove most useful.

I agree Pieter. Lets have a little patience and wait to see what is announced. They're many nationalist's on the ground, well organized patriot cells after enduring 200 years of occupation. Im sure if anything is agreed that the citizens are unhappy with, they will let their feelings be known in the coming months.

Mr. Rundle; an escort is reasonably proportional to the value of the escorted party. The use of the term 'transport' doesn't clarify the size of the vehicle. These could be anything from APCs or IFVs to civilian transports to freight vehicles. Without knowing more, we can't say.

Tuulinen-haan; would you argue in favor of greater transparency by Kaalakiota? By Wiyrkomi? By the navy? Have we heard reports of State citizens being turned away from Caldari Prime? Surely not; indeed, even a disgraced former navy officer was able to return home for a final, honorable act.

I see no failure of administration on Ishukone Okusaika's part. We as a people and a state have not made a habit of subordinating a corporation's actions to the CEP when that corporation's actions have demonstrated able administration.

As I said to Gesakaarin, Ishukone Okusaika's place on Caldari Prime was secured by our willingness to stoop to diplomacy while Kaalakiota and its brethren would instead fight an eternal war. Would you profit from another citizen's work, even when your work is against that citizen's?

I feel confident that Ishukone will issue an appropriate report when there is something appropriate to report.

For now, a convoy of vehicles has entered a compound. The agenda could be anything from proposals to grant full and equal access to the other Okusaiken and hand administrative control to the CEP, to a motion regarding salvage and cleanup of the Shiigeru crash-site, to who-knows-what else.

Speculation is dangerous, and megacorporations understand this well. I doubt that KK and Lai Dai would be any more transparent at this moment - let us wait calmly for whatever news emerges, or is leaked, rather than criticising a megacorporation for acting entirely within its legal rights as defined by the founding articles of the State and the rules of the CEP.

Dear Ms. Kim,

I don't know what "this Reppola" does for sexual recreational activities. However, I would not be surprised if "this Reppola" finds such activities pleasurable.

Licking particular Gallentean buttocks has been quite thrilling, especially when hearing the receiving female voice saying something like "oh you nasty boy" with a rich sultry intonation (of course in Gallentean, but I see no impediment to those words being spoken in a Caldari dialect).

I wouldn't call this act so much a hobby, as an occasional spicy addition during a night of passion. You really should try it sometime, on whoever you find attractive and enjoy being intimate with (also nothing wrong with asking for a shower to precede the act). You do have such a person, don't you? If not I will be Sad for a little while, until I remember your hateful predilections. Maybe someday you will lick the moon and become a loving person. Maybe you will even develop some compassion for all of humanity as well.

So, has this answered your questions?

Sincerely,

Deac

CCP, there are off buttons for ship explosions, missile effects, turret effects, etc. "Immersion" does not seem to be harmed by those. So, [u]please[/u] give us a persisting off button for the jump gate and autoscan visuals.

How about I just kill you, then dump your frozen corpse near the station and shatter it with my railguns?..

I share the overall optimism concerning this situation.

To the Caldari: Any of you can give me (Or us) a better insight as to the Ishukone reported distancing from the Big Eight?

I fought in the skies over Home at the third battle of Caldari Prime where my kirjuun and I inflicted great damage on the enemy at great cost to ourselves. I don't remember seeing you there, Priano-haani, but even if you were (actually especially if you were) I wouldn't expect you to talk about me as if I had contributed nothing to the peace.

Ask your own Oniseki-haani if she remembers my contributions to the evacuations and the supply convoys afterwards. I'm sure she does.
