Intergalactic Summit

I will be holding a brief Ceremony of Prayer for the 24th Imperial Crusade. I will be inviting the leadership of any Faithful and Loyal Amarr Militia corporations to offer remarks. It is my intention at that Ceremony to invoke God's blessings and protection upon those Faithful and Loyal members of the 24th Imperial Crusade that they may remain steadfast despite the myraid swings of the Pendulum War and the insidious infiltration of Sani Sabik and Blood Raider heretics. In that regard, the Little Sisters of the Most Holy Sword have donated ISK from our operations and charitable benefactors to engage the Stormcrows as an interim measure until a more organized action can be taken by the members of the 24th IC to purge their ranks of the currently most notorious heretic, Nauplius. We will light a thirty-day candle in prayer and thanksgiving in our Chapel for each Pilot able to interrupt his activities via a ship kill or podding.

Date&Time: TBD. I am hoping to hold two ceremonies to accomodate patrol schedules.
Estimated Length: 15 minutes. Militia pilots are busy and patrol schedules can ill afford a lengthy diversion.
Location: Amarr Legio Basilica. Guests may be present in person, or due to Concord's security restrictions, via hologram.
Who: All faithful and loyal members of the Empire and Kingdom and treasured Allies are invited to this Ceremony.

Please message me for an invitation and/or for requests to speak. The date and time.

As before when I've ventured onto these boards, I'll not sally forth to battle the small-minded brigade of furriers that will no doubt scurry forth to post on the IGS after I post this. I have better things to with my time, like reflect, and pray.

Amarr Victor.

Thy Sword More Holier Than Thou..

Any isk wasted that's not mine, is isk well wasted.

May the God of war hear your prayers and bless your warriors with a glorious death on the altar of battle

People should tolerate psychopaths their organizations because efficiency. - Jinari Otsito

Everyone does it, so you should too. - Jinari Otsito



I don't care about your religion and you should not care if people usurp it to carry out horrific acts in its name. - Jinari Otsito



I don't like the guy either, but stop trying to tangibly punish him because it all seems so pointless and I don't want to do anything about him myself. - Jinari Otsito

They are self-answering, Jinari. You are asking foolish questions that really ought to be self-evident, but since you are playing dumb, I will oblige your requests.

Firstly, Nauplius is a heretic. A loud and grossly violent heretic. To ask why an Amarrian would want to kill a loud, violent heretic is like asking why a Caldari would want to kill a loud and violent socialist, or to ask why a Gallente would want to kill a loud and violent fascist, or to ask why a Minmatar would want to kill a loud and violent slaver. Nauplius, and others like him such as the Sani Sabik or Equilibrium of Mankind represent the very antithesis of our society; a nightmarish perversion of all that we hold dear and sacred in this world. The word 'heretic' is simply a label we Amarrians use as a term for this. Everything in our society is framed in the context of our religion, and we all know what it means to call someone a 'vile heretic'. It means something like Omir Sarikusa, Ocilan Ardishapur, Dochuta Karsoth, or Nauplius. The word seems to have no meaning to you, so you have to take the effort to figure out why we hate these people.

It does not matter that he fights for the 24th Imperial Crusade. He is a far greater threat to our civilization than he is an asset. On a moralistic level he is a mass-murderer. He is repugnant to us, and to even be associated with him through his 'service' to the Crusade is an affront that we do not wish to suffer.

As for the complications involved with fighting a capsuleer, that is not really of your concern unless you are willing to take part. However, since you are so loud in your insipid nay-saying and are probably trying to ruin the morale of those fighting this war, I will also dignify this point with a response it does not deserve.

By surrounding his ships with hostile wartagets actively hunting him, he is limited in what he can do. He will be hindered in his efforts to generate income, purchase and transport slaves, and will be largely confined to stations or areas where he has no power to harm innocents. Yes, this is extremely difficult to achieve, but even if this only delays his ability to murder slaves by jetting them into space, the effort is worth it. Just because you are likely to lose a fight does not mean you ought not fight it. Besides, even capsuleers have a limit on mental fatigue. Keeping him confined to station whenever he plugs into his capsule will likely break down his morale more than any single ship loss could.

Now please, I know you have little respect for Amarrians and our ways, but it would really help if you were hyper-critical when we are doing something wrong, not when we are trying to do our best to muzzle the angry dog in our yard.

Ah, much better. See how easy it is to assuage the concerns of your allies? I agree, I don't really see that "vile heretic" has much weight to it as a reason for deployment of this level of assets, but that is largely because a lot of us falls under the heretic umbrella without being targeted like this. It is however quite sufficient to see that you see a significant enough reason in it. I truly can't see how this one man is any greater threat to your Empire than the people actively pursuing military efforts to dismantle it, but I guess this comes back to my own status as heretic.

I don't agree that it's in any way self-evident, as this is clearly deeply rooted in a very alien cultural issue.

You are also right in that this is none of my concern, but when it's made into such a public spectacle involving the military assets of my State's allies, it's worth musing on. I still don't see that this has any real chance of succeeding, given his fanaticism and zealotry. If history has shown us anything it is that this kind of person takes this level of opposition as confirmation of his righteousness and will merely spur him to greater efforts. I do wish you luck in your chosen endeavors, but if he is even semi-competent as a capsuleer he's unlikely to be deterred.

You're right. I don't have much respect for the Empire. Individual Amarrians, like yourself, I have quite the utmost respect for as our brief interaction should have demonstrated. This is the very reason I raise concerns I have about your endeavors, because they ultimately impact the welfare of my State. It is in my own best interest to put the activities of my allies under scrutiny.

If it holds up to such scrutiny, nothing can be better.

I still have my doubts whether or not this focus on Nappy has any merit at all, but you've answered most questions I had on the subject and for that I am grateful. Thank you, Shutaq, and good luck. I truly hope you succeed and quickly, so your military assets can go somewhere useful instead.

Not to mention being seen as a personal insult rather than ignorance.

I prefer the term 'Soldier of Fortune' personally, but I don't speak for everyone in Stormcrows, of course.

Sorry, carry on.
