Silly Mister Nauplius being his usual mean and grumpy self. All the solace I have is that while he is writting these essays, he is not killing innocents here and there. That counts for something, right?

Not really, he likely posts this rubbish while warping between stations to buy slaves to sacrifice.

Sadly, for the Cluster at large, the definition of innocent is fungible.

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.

So a bunch of people most likely born, have vitoc forced on them and forced to do manual labor aren't innocent? Im not talking about someone like you, me or anyone else here who has most likely killed before... we for the most part aren't innocent, but I struggle to understand how they aren't

It's a good thing your opinion is worth less then Fedo droppings, or I may have had to rethink my entire life....

Mr. Nauplius

We need knowledge, we need truth, because without these we cannot stand firm, we cannot move forward. Words of faith without truth does not deliver, it does not provide cohesion. It remains a beautiful story, the projection of our deep yearning for understanding and happiness, something capable of satisfying us to the extent that we are willing to deceive ourselves. Either that, or it is reduced to a lofty sentiment which brings consolation and cheer, yet remains prey to the vagaries of our spirit, incapable of sustaining itself.

I'm not sure it's quite that fungible, but that's the spirit!

As I said. Gallentean, and speaks like gallentean.
This is why peaceful diplomatic relations with gallenteans is a myth,
and this is why the Federation must be destroyed.

I've missed you, Kim. A thread isn't complete until you've started interjecting apropos of nothing that it's the fault of The Gallenteans. Never change.

And upon the Day that the Chosen should set their hand against them, they wouldst surely perish in great numbers, for they are hard and cold as the snows from whence they come and the smell of missile fuel is sweet to them, and also the sound of cracking armour.

And so let the Chosen be warned, lest they be chosen amongst the Slain - for it is not given only to God to choose.


Ooh, ooh! Do the other races too. :)

You realise Naupilus already did the Minmatar and Amarr, right? So that leaves me the Gallente... okay...


And on the day before the Last Day did the Lord create the Gallente, but they tarried to gyrate rhythmically and drink the juice of fermented fruit, and did not appear until the day after the Last Day. And lo, He was wroth and did chastise them, but they elected from amongst their number a spokesperson who did contend with the Lord. And sayeth their representative "Lo, 'tis a weekend, what didst thou expect, thou facist opressor?!" and therefore was there done no work on those two days thereafter.

And the Lord didst deny the Gallente clothes to cover their nakedness, as punishment, but again didst their spokesperson speak, and devised he see-through garments and thus did the Children of Luminaire both obey and disobey. But of all Plotters the Lord is most subtle, he placed within the breast of the Gallente a great suspicion, and they didst turn upon their spokesperson with words like "separation of powers" and "checks and balances" and the Lord spoke to them in their secret heart until they builded the Senate and thus were the works of the Gallente brought to nothing in babble and confused argument, one against the other.

Since you managed to say that without tripping over your words, I feel like I now have to take a shot or something...

I'm just well practiced with tongue-twisters. Elocution is important because I don't tend to resort to significant grunting and low growls like the Civire.

One day, I just want there to be a religion with a readable prose style.

And on the ninth day did God say "Why are you talking like that? Stop mangling your sentence structure!"

Most accurate scripture yet. *grabs fermented fruit juice and begins gyrating rhythmically*
