Intergalactic Summit

That's considered bad form on here, for some reason.

I mean, linking kills. Using T1 drones is ALWAYS considered bad form. Tut!

No, dammit. Enough!
Kim, Rova, take your pettiness to someplace else. Your self centered, everything must be about me attitude is unbecoming and, frankly, disgusting.

Vollhov: Your bitterness is starting to grate. With regard to the Apostle, I found out the design while it was in progress and gave it my full support. So, go ahead and accuse me of not respecting Empress Jamyl. For the record, the Apostle is very much in line with the Cathedral of the Ascension, and represents her ascension into Paradise, not her death.

I was there. I saw that horrible moment. I see that flash of light with my waking eyes. Her death haunts my dreams. The one fact that consoles me is that she is in Paradise. The Drifters did not defeat Sancta Jamyl; they were only able to kill her.

Whether you would or not, Mr. Rova, it seems like there must be other things you could talk about here.

Things relating more directly to the topic, maybe?

A spaceship is a tool to be wielded by it's pilot's skill set and temperment, it is no more, or no less, a creation of anyone's “God” than an asteroid or a toilet is.

Yes for those of us who believe in a supreme religious deity everything is a creation of “God”, so saying a particular fleet of vessels produced in shipyards by human hands and human designed machines is "God's Creation" is redundant.

Being a specialist “Slaver Slayer” myself I must inform those laboring under a religious hallucination that Amarr hulls are divine relics of destruction for adherents to the slavery cult alone that my favorite Battle cruiser for sending slavery cultists straight to the hell that they have earned is a Harbinger.

“Right from its very appearance on a battlefield, the Harbinger proclaims its status as a massive weapon, a laser burning through the heart of the targets. Everything about it exhibits this focused intent, from the lights on its nose and wings that root out the targets, to the large number of turreted high slots that serve to destroy them. Should any targets be left alive after the Harbinger's initial assault, its drones will take care of them.”

Taken from the description of the hull and the underlined text is replacement words for the foolish religious mumbo jumbo used to market the hull to cultists. It indeed has an alpha strike capability I find effective for minimizing the opportunity for escape pods to be launched. Keep in mind my job as a “Slaver Slayer” is to kill as many of them as humanly possible, not to send them home to reship into space again.

I am pleased that recently most pilots have gained valuable experience and tactical practice in the destruction of the Amarr hulls that the most foolish slavery cultists and their navy fly exclusively. Because of actions of both the “Purists” and the “Blood Raiders” seeing pilots from all four empires smite these hell's spawn slavery cultists has been a preview of what a united effort by the civilized people against the slavers would look like. So whatever your individual motivation might be, keep up the good work. As the saying goes, “All's well that ends well”, kill them all because the slavery cultists are without doubt the biggest desecration to “God,religion, and civilization” in human history.

I've liked a decent amount of them, I've also liked a few of Kim's believe it or not. A broken clock is right twice a day. Can't say I fully support everything he says but I'll give him credit where it's due.

Thank you both, I find it no surprise that two pilots unafraid to speak their minds and allow the strength of their arguments to win the day for them also can find good points in the views of others. If more people on IGS employed your tactic, to win discussions on merits this would be a far better place.

Then you have the pilots who think snarky unsupported assumptions are the path to intellectual success "Well, now we know who the one person who almost always "likes" Matar Ronin's posts is." they prove that they have not yet gained the ability to understand the difference between facts and opinions, or to differentiate between what might be popular and what is right. I believe all people can learn, so no person/people is/are beyond hope, even pilot kim and the sons and daughters of amarr.

I take comfort in the belief that when I am proven right the New Eden Cluster will be a better place. For those of you whose belief is that evil shall eventually triumph in the New Eden Cluster and the slavery cultists will crush and bend everyone to their will, I will continue to pray for you and destroy all those who are working with you to make your nightmarish view of our collective future a possibility.

I think I will win.

p.s. Pilot Kolodi Ramal;
Pilot Temba Mapindazi is indeed a close friend of mine whose opinion I value greatly, however your snarky remark is quite inaccurate. Pilot Mapindazi is a very infrequent visitor to the IGS forums, he is kept quite busy with his duties either defending against the enemies of liberty and justice in the New Eden Cluster or leading exploration/recon missions deep in "Drifter" dominated Anoikis space.

p.p.s. Pilot Kolodi Ramal;
Including the two Pilots thanked above the diversity of likes my comments solicit keep me confident that many people from all empires can filter through cultural and social bias to focus in on the true essence of a discussion and credit solid points when they are submitted regardless of from whom. When you one day finally achieve this ability you might then choose to contribute far more then simple minded snipes and instead begin to contribute to the learning experience we all benefit from when IGS connects our minds and we share thoughtful exchanges instead of just sniping at each other. I am ever optimistic and confident you one day may have things of merit to contribute, and I will be listening for the day when you find your voice, stand for something positive, and can communicate effectively.

Don't just get mad, get better!

Win, lose, draw, it's all based on your criteria for winning. Also Kolodi frequently says rather worthwhile things. I'd chalk that last comment up to a rare miss by him, or just simply an off the cuff comment. Everyone's guilty of that from time to time.

Admittedly I haven't paid exclusive attention to anyone's posts here, if it's noteworthy or someone I support I'll put my .02 isk in. Generally he chimes in with genuine ideas and thoughts that are thought out. To be honest he DOESN'T speak for you, I don't speak for you, and none of us speak or represent all Matari. Everyone of us have our own path to walk, whether it be beside slavers, Blooders, the cartel, or our own kin. He wasn't wrong honestly. Our actions will either be honored or forgotten by those who come after us and it's each individual alone that lives and dies with the legacy of their own making. You don't like the path he takes? Hope he finds the right path when he hits that fork. He isn't attacking you, he is trying to help you find your way, as every hardship is a badge of honor if you don't succumb to it. Hope that clears my thinking on it up...

As it should never be, the verdict I mean.

Also, any time. I'm not trying to steer ya wrong.

I also want to believe it. But I did not get.
