As a regular logistics pilot myself, I'm calling bullcrap on that one. All this time flying those logistics ships and never a single one lost? I can only assume your fleets were either farming CONCORD bounties in what is now an almost laughable, risk free exercise against sansha incursions in capsuleer vessels, or only ever undocked when absolutely confirmed to win.

Only one rifter lost and now you deign to comment on 'such is lowsec'?

You mentioned in another thread about living in nullsec for a year off my own wits. Why, did you spend a year there getting fat off the spoils of pirate data banks and ruins, doing nothing for your own people?

EDIT: Ms Starfall I'd like to personally, and publically apologise for continuing this derailment. My words will remain and he can reply, but I shall now be hiding this joke of a 'freedom fighter's' posts.

If anything is to be learned looking at the Amarr slave converts, it is: Never surrender.

No matter whatever is the price, no matter how deep is the humiliation, one should always find the strength to cling to whatever core of self that still keeps breathing, while it exists. And die as yourself, if necessary, before the sound of a master's whip turns into a sweet music.

Paralyzed, limbless, defiled to the very last bit of one's being, crawling in agony towards a gruesome death. Never. Surrender. Nor to men. Nor to the spirits of the unspeakable void. Nor to the Amarrian God. Never.

This is -- freedom.


Perhaps each person's breaking point is their own, a complex fracture. We do not assume a small or large quantity of suffering on your part as Matari because we are not familiar with your personal history. As you are not familiar with our past, we would caution you against sweeping statements about our breaking and how it is we came to surrender.

What we do know, is that it is impossible even for you and us not to find some commonality. We may be diametrically opposed in belief, yet we keep our dissimilar secrets inside nearly identical shaved heads. Not arguing with you is our way of respecting this thread as being reserved for Ms. Starfall's personal revelations.

At least the States allies are capable of holding a intelligent conversation. I am sorry I can't say the same about all the pilots under the State banner.. you can thank Heth for that.

Mad skills!
Perhaps you should try your mad skills in null sec instead of in militia warfare which is apparently of little challenge to you.

Since your bigoted mouth is your most fearsome weapon you'd not even get to dock before being blown apart.

Warp in to null sec,
shoot off your vile mouth,
get blown up,
re-clone in your militia haven,
rinse and repeat until you learn real combat strategies.

Militia warfare is beneath someone of your mad skills so upgrade your battlefield to match your mouth.

Unless, all you are is the record of your past, come on advance to null sec if you dare.

Perhaps then you'd find God, humility, and humanity enabling you to have something of substance to add to this thread.

Reflect on that.

Or maybe you would like to visit me someday in space, eh? Come here, show what you can, user of minmatar brains.

I take that as a "No Way!" on upgrading your battlefield.

Play safe where you can feel powerful.

You can find me docking and undocking in Minmatar space any day, if you care to put your ship on the line to back up your mouth.

I would enjoy introducing you to POS guns.

Unless you are afraid to accept a challenge solo.

The gauntlet is dropped motor mouth put up or shove off!

If you really believe that I never dealt with POS guns, you are indeed not smarter than "iyammarrok".

As for nullsec, it is not "upgrading", it is downgrading. Empty, useless, lawless space filled with incompetent pilots, bashing each other head for a piece of a metal. I have just offered you challenge, yet you are backing away into your nullsec.

But as you wish, you can go stay in your playground, while I have the war to fight.

I find god almost every night. When you hear me scream for him, "OH GOD! OH GOD YES! GIVE IT TO ME!! YES!!" you just KNOW I receive his blessings over and over and over again. And at the end of my prayers, I fall into a deep and satisfying sleep, exhausted from begging for the seeds which fill me with his warmth.

I guess it's hard to discuss religion (at least the sort that involves a capital letter at the front of your god) without pulling politics into it. Since the Empire's society and its faith are kind of hard to separate, that's maybe fair enough, but it seems like a lot of the commentary from (my fellow) heathens boils down to trying to snark and mud-fling any real discussion of faith into impossibility.

It makes me a little embarrassed to call myself an unbeliever, honestly.

Not all of us, Mademoiselle Jenneth.

Unfortunately, you will find "snark" and "mud-flinging" surrounding any topic that makes people uncomfortable and religion (and politics to a lesser degree) are such a topic. I'm not suggesting that excuses it, but it does explain it.

Generally speaking, it is easier to discuss sensitive topics in closed, or private, setting rather than the public arena.

EDIT: I realize I've contributed to some of the derailing of the discussion but never in an attempt to disrespect the original author. The flipside is that the continued discussion, no matter how off-topic, does keep this thread visible and potentially someone may respond back on topic.

For my part, I will attempt to avoid further derailing as I responded previously without realizing which thread I was in and was merely trying to be sociable.
