Intergalactic Summit

Considering this thread wasn't about the Villore Assembly in the first place, where this thread has since gone is rather interesting.

Anyway, since someone asked when would we like to see VA press releases, I'll say it: When they actually manage to do something, like with the Jin-Mei civil war thing. From the first IGS post from them I really did not see any point in posting these resolutions here, especially as these requests are always geared towards the Federation senate - why parade them here at all? Particularly when you are not even asking help from us while you do it?
I've said it before, but these resolutions seem only to serve some kind of utterly useless posturing among the capsuleer community. And every time someone points this out, the VA members have flown in to incoherent rage about such accusations.

So basically, do press releases when you actually have something to release or something that you need our help with, otherwise I really see no point in showing us your resolutions especially since you're not even interested in outside help and always address the empire governments in these.

I practice what I preach - I have started and managed several projects that have rarely amounted to something worth mentioning, but if I announced every one of these projects before they've even started to bear fruit, there'd be no end to them.

So you're generalizing based on a sampling even you admit is statistically nonexistant? I can verify that she's taken part in medical discussions here on multiple occasions, and she's known to be a geneticist who also performs implant surgeries.

Oooooooy cheeky bastard!

I got a chortle, won't lie.

I've, like, been to some of these delta city clinics and boy they're grim places. But I had to drum up some publicity, so I went there for the kiddos. What's better than loving music and a bitchin clown, eh?
So we lit the place ablaze, metaphorically speaking, and the happy smiles were totally worth it.
But I guess more equipment and supplies for their slim budgets wouldn't go amiss either.

Oh, and a bit better automated security systems. My team got annoyed because we weren't allowed to bring pyrotechnics into the place, we even had to can the flamethrower guitar, but we gots us a great replacement with some kind of weird soap bubbles that almost didn't sting in the eyes.

Anyways another great idea was having some cats on board, because felines rock the house and rats are so YC 111. But apparently cats aren't allowed in hospitals either. Sad.

A politicised one.

That is very rude

Spare me the righteous indignation.

As long as the Minmatar Republic, Caldari State and Gallente Federation maintain peace accords with CONCORD and reap the benefits of a strong Amarr economy they are all morally complicit with the Amarr slave trade. If any of these governments, including CONCORD were actually against the slave trade, they would use economic, political or military means to bring the trade to an end. The most they do is make the sale illegal in specific local areas and go Tsk Tsk on occasion when the subject comes up.

An offer of sale is not an actual sale and based on many concepts of free speech I am well within my rights to promote whatever the hell I wish. I notice your concept of "freedom" ends whenever someone says something that hurts your feelings.

And for the record, Nauplius and I are both (technically) citizens of Khanid and veterans of the Royal Khanid Navy. As long as we maintain proper standings, the sale of Controlled Personnel within the Kingdom and Empire is perfectly legal, should such a transaction occur there.

If such a transaction were to take place in NullSec, the legality is a null factor as CONCORD and Imperial laws do not extend there.

So if you don't like slavery, don't own slaves. If you don't want people to have their lives controlled by other people, then you should set the example and stop trying to force people to live by your standards. If you have a problem with slavery as an institution, stop supporting governments that support that institution.

Or, as one nullsec resident to another, living where you say CONCORD's authority means nothing, I could just cart you off for a few years of carefully non-fatal torture, while paying off the right med-techs to get your cloning data transferred over to someplace more convenient to allow it to continue through multiple incarnations.

I mean, if I was that kind of psychopath. Happily, I'm not. Instead, I'll simply point out with regard to this:



Unlike many others involved in the discussion, at no point did I tell you not to say whatever you liked during your search for a buyer. Nor did I even presume to try to talk you out of it—and in fact, I passed your message along to Nauplius when he did show up. So you can take your pathetic little attempt to play the victim and blow it out your ear.

That's the spirit!

You could. That's the thing.

A long time ago, there was a lot more of a push towards creating Anarchistic and anti-government societies in NullSec. The IGS would flood with walls of text on how these societies could be created and what customs, if not laws would carry over.

A decade or so later and we've seen this happen. The NullSec alliances, for all their faults, have laid the foundations for the ultimate expressions of a 'free society."

Back in Imperial space, to refer to the OP, "There’s only muck and the making of sausage."

In your part of space, is there slavery?

Also, one with limited resources. You've never done triage in a hospital ? deciding who lives and who dies, based on available resources ?
