[OOJ] She Has Not Left

I would not concern myself with crickets such as Kalo and Dietra, mother Amalath. They are loud, but inconsequential. I am also sure the Blooder has a mental deficiency that prevents her from using proper grammar and spelling.

Empress Jamyl I still stands in the hallowed halls of the Amarr soul. She guides our people now and forevermore as an exemplar to our faith and Empire.

Respectfully, from what I know of her last few days (public things atleast) it seems she did and rather bravely faced it, however bravery and stupidity are two completely different things. I'm not calling her stupid, PLEASE don't take what I'm saying that way, but if she knew her time was near and still decided to test her faith so to speak, that's bordering between bravery and stupidity. I think following through to continue on her "the time of slavery is nearing its end" rhetoric would be more beneficial to your people than dieing meaninglessly as a martyr. Maybe I'm being a little rash in what I'm saying, its really not my intention.


Perhaps it would be better to consider her final acts a form of providence, inevitability if you will.

As for her passing.... I choose to believe that it was anything but meaningless. She like some of her more notable predecessors have left us a legacy to uphold. That said, and I don't presume to know, I doubt her message to the Amarr was to bring an end to the reclamation so much perhaps as it was that we are strong enough to endure and change how we advance our destiny.

What fills the soul? Something that guides a lost child back to it's parents arms. Or waves that dye the shores of the heart gold. A blessed breath to nurture life in a land of wheat. Or the path the Sef descend drawn in ash. In the wake of fire.

Let's review shall we....?

I started off in this thread telling someone who seemed to be trying to throw mud at your empress (who mind you is my enemy, but I did have some respect for, since you CAN hate and respect someone at the same time) by kindly telling them to shut up in much different words, then my last post:

Honestly I guess if she saw it as an inevitability, for lack of better words speeding things up, isn't really as bad and is rather brave. On as to how she died, if she died in say for instance that fight the CVA had with the drifters, it would have been really something (honestly I would have more than likely mourned her even as a hero. The drifters are a threat I think I could easily ignore other enemies for, they're constantly in my birth system and do fear the day when they turn their guns towards home). The fact she died while showcasing some, battleship was it? That instead of trying to stand up against the clusters greatest threat. It seems her death could have been a call to arms for more than just the Amarr people if she didn't die grandstanding some military hardware for use against other races.

Lord Consort Newelle, in this case, I feel Ms. Vess acted with manners and dignity. Let's not attack her for her words here, hmm?

Oh, if we must. She still wants to destroy us and all we stand for, but good manners should be rewarded I suppose.

Respectfully, if I didn't feel many of you wanted my people dead or enslaved still for wanting to develop as we were before our peoples first encounter, I would not be fighting. Plenty of you I'd ignore if you were on my overview since they seem to want to leave us alone. If the drifters came for you I actually would come to fight them. Last time I didn't because people seem to want to ignore the bigger threat for us all and I won't put my crew in that situation where they would die defending a people who don't keep a tighter leash on those who go against even your late empress' wishes. Now I don't believe everything she did had the best of intentions for my people and honestly would prefer to not go down that path here. In the end it was a kind gesture towards peace, I know its not a popular idea on my side of the cluster but it is something I can't say I disagree with. I can say when it comes to the drifters I would back her to a rather large extent.

In my humble opinion, sparing niceties to enemies is a waste of time and disrespecting yourself, your uniform and memory of those, who have fallen fighting against them.

Understandable, but at the same time a professional soldier shouldn't see everyone as a target, especially when those related to the other side don't want a fight with you. Slaughtering their pacifists only makes you worse than them.

I make it a point to see hostile combatants as people. Otherwise, I will fail to anticipate the many ways they will hurt me and my own. By seeing hostile combatants as not-people, I will severely underestimate their creative capacities and their tactical acumen.

Seeing enemy combatants as less-than-human, while comforting and allows dissociations from the so-called moral burdens and provides the moral high ground, will cost me more ships than it should.

A Minmatar warship is like a rusting Beetle with 500 horsepower Cardillac engines in the rear, armour plating bolted to chassis and a M2 Browning stuck on top.

If they don't want to fight, they can put their weapons down and desert.
If they can't desert, because they are forced to fight, they could kill themselves.
Otherwise, they are same soldiers at all. A pacifist with a weapon in hand is not a pacifist anymore.

If they don't hold the gun, but show their hostility otherwise by word or action, they are to be considered hostile units, and thus, not pacifists as well.

As for the real pacifists, I don't care about them. Shooting them is a waste of my time and effort, that I could put to destroy something that represents real threat to the State.

And by relation, to those, whom you would shoot at, you shall not give niceties. They are to be killed.

I agree. There is good reason to doubt that Jamyl is in Paradise. She committed the horrific, vile sin of freeing slaves, millions and millions of them. Her trial at the Judgement will be long and hard, and I think that a holy and righteous God will find that she has forfeited her birthright as Chosen elect for the grievous sin of manumission.

It is therefore most suspect to refer to Jamyl as a saint, for she most likely burns. How just is our God. Amen. Amarr Victor.

She was really an inspiration. These last few months, almost don't seem real.

I was warned that if came out of retirement, bad things would happen.

But then there's faith, right?

As a servant of Holy Amarr, my feelings on Jamyl Sarum I are very clear.

She was our Empress

She was willing to carry out actions antithetical to our Faith, such as her freeing of slaves. Whatever your moral stance on that issue, it is against our tenets.

Her right to rule was questionable after her return following her apparent suicide. The doctrine of Sacred Flesh was violated, whether by her use of cloning technology or refusal to commit suicide appropriately.

Her willingness to corrupt Amarrian flesh with the implants from Anoikis was reprehensible.


I do not consider her death to be anything but providential. Amarr needed a revival to continue the Reclaiming, and God, in His wisdom, saw Jamyl as a block to that end. He has taken her where He willed, I pray, to Paradise. Because, as much as I may despise what she stood for, she was proof to all of the will and resolve of the Holy Empire. I respect her immensely for that, and do mourn the passing of one of our most resolute. In that, Alizebeth and I feel the same, I'm sure. We may differ on the direction in which we think the Holy Empire should proceed, but we both hope for the future.

With that, let us mourn, and pray, and move forward the Faith.

None of that really matters now, does it? It doesn't matter if she was a Capsuleer. It doesn't matter what implants she may or may not have had. It doesn't matter if she bootscrewed the Reclaiming or if she improved on it. All due respects to her memory and the works of the Holy Mother here, but she's dead.

Maybe instead of all the hand wringing, those hands could pick up a sword or two before the Drifters decide to gank our new Emperor/Empress during his/her coronation? We all seem so very devout in our memory of her, but no one wants to talk about how we as Amarr, failed to protect her. If Amarr fails again, there might not be any more Amarr.
