Frankly, I'm not responsible for your inability to use galnets. Next thing you'll tell me is that you don't know how many days a year on Athra is or that Scope News come out once a couple of weeks instead of each hour.

Search for Directive Alpha Gamma 12 or any of the CONCORD rulings on the Galnet and tell me if you found anything.

(You just found this thread and something else but nothing that really explains the rulings)

You are doing something wrong then, Elmund. Do you really expect an interstellar law our society relies on to be kept private from everyone?

1: Diana-chan, shut up, please.
2: Mr. Victorian: If we don't know the laws CONCORD is governed by, we can't complain when they change the rules in secret, now can we? So yes. I expect them to keep as much to themselves as possible. I certainly haven't read any complete and unredacted texts. If you have, then post them here and end this, proving everyone else the fool.

Though, I have to say, you are the fool. If I had made that same bit to Arrendis, she would have calculated how much time it would take for her to write up the Directive from whole cloth (probably five or six hours), and realized that the ISK to hour ratio for that was amazing and posted her creation here. And since I didn't know any better, I can't say it's not the right one, can I? You missed on an easy billion ISK.

Yes, I do. Now shut up, run a search yourself and come back and tell us what you find instead of procrastinating over it so that you will never have to feel the cognitive dissonance of being *wrong*.

I find it amusing how you keep trying to provoke and insult me, Alizabeth. Certainly doesn't help with your reputation.

Yes, I consider you foolish for not making an easy billion just by going to whatever secret room you have with the documents and producing them. Shocking, I know.

Also, I think that my reputation as a brash, bold, and decisive battlefield commander is not in any danger.

Why would I go and forge law documentation? Is the fraud like this a thing that you just casually do? I mean, scamming? My oh my, all that talk about honor and stuff.

Oi! No deflection! Prove that you can actually find CONCORD rulings on the Galnet, why don't you?

Are you kidding me, Elmund? Are you seriously saying that laws don't exist? This is a ridiculous argument.

I am not saying it doesn't exist, I am saying it is not publicly viewable! You can't tell people to read what isn't available anywhere public to be read!

And considering CONCORD's penchant for keeping things from the general capsuleer public, I wouldn't be surprised if they kept all their laws tucked away somewhere only accessible by interstellar lawyers and lawmakers.

Pilots, I would argue that the issue here is a limited interpretation of 'available.' Certainly, we have extremely limited access via the Neocom, but then I also can't reliably pull up planet-side tabloids while in the pod, nor can I watch or listen to much media via the pod interface except without simulating an external galnet link. This is just one of those strange limitations created by our pod interface.

That said, surely, there are confidential sections of the Yulai Conventions, likely governing sharing of state secrets with CONCORD or provisions for traveling to Jove space or such things, but there are also painfully dry sections on maritime transport, tariffs and the like which are available to lawyers who have to try such cases in front of tribunals.

Pillorying someone because they can't produce the full text of the Convention on a whim would be like pillorying an Imperial priest because he can't produce the full text of the Scriptures on a whim. Our systems simply aren't really set up to handle it.

May as well harangue Mr. Egivand for being unable to produce the Republic constitution, or me for not having the latest minutes of a public CEP panel on market stabilization measures in Lonetrek.

But you don't have to forge anything? You said you had the text.

And Priano-haani, I agree. However, no one else claimed to have the text other than your pilot. Who then insinuated everyone else was deaf, dumb, and blind for not being able to get to it.

And, as usual, Arrendis was profligate with insults and moral superiority over it.

Noone here is without fault.

Besides, who among us actually reads the damned thing? That's why I have lawyers on retainer: to avoid the migraine.

Let's just let it lie.

Humility is an Amarrian virtue, not really a Sebiestor one. Despite the Empire's best attempts, I am sure.

I'm not a saint, either.

As far as leaving the dullness to lawyers, hear, hear. Every second I would be pouring over some dry, dull legalese is a second I could be killing Drifters. They're not going to genocide themselves, you know.

Huh. Never seen that before. Maybe I wasn't paying attention.

I'll keep an eye out for it.

If it's publicly available, why would you need to forge it?

Virtues are generally notable in their rarity.

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.

Yes, I responded to insults with insults. Amazing, isn't it? And here you are, offering your own moral superiority to cover for your pilot's snide and insulting manner before any insults were offered to him.

So you're right, and I apologize most profusely for reacting.

As for who reads the damned thing? None of us, because we can't. If we could? I would. I know a lot of other people who would, too. Some of them are lawyers. Others are just people who like to know what things to avoid doing so they don't get their crews blown up over a technicality.

So let's recap:


  1. I make a statement that's true. My statement included no insults, did not mention Jaret in any way.
  2. Jaret chimes in with unprovoked insults and makes a claim he can't back up.
  3. I call him out on it, matching his snide tone.
  4. You decide I'm the one being 'profilgate with insults' when the only thing insulting I've said was 'so amazingly superior', as opposed to calling him 'lazy' and being derisive about his intelligence.


Do you see how this fits the pattern of you deciding me asking you for help was an opportunity to twist literally everything I said around so you could be aggrieved and play the victim? Do you see how this sort of behavior only serves to call into question your trustworthiness, and suggest that Diana might actually be right about you?

Tell you what: you're back to caracals and scythes, by your own decision. You have no plans to use my basilisks. How about you give them back to Alizabeth, who will, as a demonstration that you're not what Kim paints you as? After all, honor's a Caldari virtue, right? I bought and fitted those ships to be used against Drifters, and they went to you with that intent. You've decided not to use them. So honor the intent, and give them back to someone who will. I'll even send you the isk to SRP 3 logi, once you do.

All I need to know is that the very same extralegal and extraterritorial status CONCORD grants through its pilot licenses also in effect makes an owner of that said license an outlaw by default. As outlaws and thus not granted the protections of the law we cannot sue each other, are not liable for any actions we might undertake, and CONCORD can arbitrarily destroy our vessels or seize our assets without things like warrants or due process.

As such I fail to see any need to know the CONCORD provisos by heart when the vast majority of them don't apply to us anyway.
