Intergalactic Summit

Sure you can keep being pedantic, but I would like to think you can make an actual contribution to the ongoing discussion rather than trying to be a special snowflake or "edgelord", as modern Gallente teenagers like to say.

However, to address your point, please point to the planet in recorded history which has been razed because someone took offense to a few words on a piece of paper written by the planet's population. Don't respond with more useless tripe unless you can come up with a name.

Moving along the discussion...

Maybe I did not mean someone took offense on a few words and wiped out a planet. What I meant that you can order planets raided and destroy them with a few words, such as Starkmanir Prime, or the Matari home planets in Pator, or Caldari Prime. I'm sure you can think of many more. Few words can literally mean the end of worlds. I merely replicated your condescending tone and replied in kind what I found laughable about your "tripe."
In politics especially one should choose their words and actions very carefully, I assume we have already established that.



As for the discussion itself, it is laughable to even think that the Villore Assembly would have any place in the ceremony as such as they request - there are literally thousands of people and organizations more capable and deserving of such a position. They will have to follow the coronation from the furthest of seats in the back like anyone else not important enough to be given something else. All in all, this "resolution" looks to me nothing but trying to appear more important and special than they actually are. To whom? I don't know.

And yes I am well aware of the Assemblys' previous work. Commendable, but commendable enough to attend an event such as this with special privileges? Hardly.
Of course, the future Empress and whoever hands out the invitations are entirely free to prove my suspicions wrong later on.

Ok.
I give the tone A+ for effort.
The content a B-.

Edit:

Alright, let's be more serious - what is there to discuss about the content? There is literally nothing unique or interesting about it, save for the blunder you've relegated to dead horse status.

Dear Taishou Xun Yu, Vice-Chair of the Villore Assembly:

In light of the treaties that remain in force between the Federation and the Empire, President Roden's attendance at the funeral of the Late Empress Jamyl I (Blessed be Her Holy Name!), and in the tradition of Amarr hospitality, I would like to invite members of the delegation to a post-Coronation mixer between any Faithful who choose to attend and any Delegates of the VA who choose to attend. The mixer will be on the 28th of September and consist of ice-cream "cocktails" aka sundaes and music. Location will be Bel's Ice Cream Parlour at Emperor Family Academy. Time TBD.

Cordially and with God's Blessings,

Lunarisse Aspenstar Daphiti

Only the VA can actually answer these.

However personally I fail to see how this will in any way foster "a greater sense of mutual understanding" seeing as the assembly only reports to itself and the Federation senate (altough whether or not anyone reads it there is another matter entirely). Mutual understanding implies both parties would benefit from the interaction. Which, by they way, the resolution did not mention, just you.

Likewise I don't even know where you pulled the "good-will acts" from, since the resolution didn't mention such things even in one word. Unless watching a coronation from the sidelines is somehow "a good will act" in itself.


Now lets make one thing straight. I support the Assembly, sort of, I do. I can certainly appreciate their efforts and achievements.
However, did we really need a Villore Assembly resolution on the coronation of the Empress? I could've drafted an equally pompous resolution begging for my corporations place in the coronation (because I'm a capsuleer and I matter, dammit), and I would've been laughed out of the known galaxy.

How this resolution gained such traction in the first place is beyond me.

Teinyhr, I don't know you except from your posts. However based on them, I think that I like you quite a bit.

Maybe the resolution was worded badly in some parts. The idea behind it - to reach out and aim for good diplomatic relations between Amarr and Gallente - is certainly commendable.

It is sad to see so many people focus on the bad things, the darkness. Especially in the case of the Amarr, who sould've adopted the responsibility to serve the light, to bring it forth and to educate, to illuminate. It always pains me when those that should be on the lights side are rather making this cluster a darker place by multiplying and spreading their bad emotions as well as prejudice and stereotype.

The Scripture says: "The Wrath of God is Immense. His Justice is Swift and Decisive. His Tolerance is Limited." But beware, you who judges like this, for you are not God, nor alike to him. Your understanding is limited and your judgement easily misplaced. He is perfect - you though, are imperfect.
Therefore, you should rather remind yourself of what Scripture says thereafter: "The Mercy of our Emperor is Limitless. His Rule is Benign and Righteous. His Love is Perpetual." You do good to be merciful, benign and righteous and show love in your imperfection! Take these traits and the Emperor as your model. Don't adivse others on their failures first, but bear in mind your own fallability before you speak to them. And when you do, be helpful, show them the way, rather then merely yelling at them that they are on the wrong track. No one ever got onto the straight roads by them being merely decried.

If you want someone to walk the righteous path, don't withdraw from a hand extended! Take the hand in the spirit it's offered, hold it gently and lead them onto path of light. And let your heart be a illuminating candle for them, warm and nurturing.

I for one welcome this initiative of the VA and the spirit in which it is put forth!

Can one read a demand for special treatment into the original post? Probably. Does one have to read it into the OP? Most certainly not!

How guests behave differs quite a lot if you look at the Empire and at the Federation. It's easy to complain that the neighbours from the Federation which we have in the members of the VA didn't behave as we expect proper guests to behave, without showing them what we'd expect, really.

The point is: Even if they misbehaved in some ways, that doesn't justify to reciprocate in kind. Two wrongs don't make a right. The right thing is to welcome them despite their failings and help them to better themselves.

The Empire was founded to cultivate the spirit of man, not to lament the bad state it's in and then reciprocate in kind. No, that's the wrong way. And Amarr should know better.

I do not know about you, Ms. Mithra, but I phrase my requests to visit much more politely. Rather than announcing that they were forming a delegation and then in the same breath state they expected that delegation to be treated as foreign diplomats and dignitaries, they should have requested an invitation to come. That would have been correct and proper.

"We're coming. Better treat us right. We're very important in the Federation." That is how they came across. And the Amarr rightly pointed out that was the incorrect way to do things. The Villore Accords are the ones that made this issue public with their post. Then they doubled down on their arrogance that they had debated the language and they found it proper.

If someone that you didn't know came to your home and demanded to be let in and that you cook them a proper dinner, I suspect you would take offense to that. I would too. My door will open to any that request invitation, but will not crack to a demand.

It's astonishing how easily you misread "request" as "demand", Cpt. Amalath.
