Intergalactic Summit

Thank you very much Mr. Syagrius. Feel free to stop by our trade hub sometime. We can have a drink and discuss business.

Seems like the "State" is very attractive to criminal corporations. Perhaps the Horde will infuse the local economy and better the lives of the down trodden masses. Let's hope for the best. A fresh capsuleer megacorp might be just what is needed.

A kind offer, that I would avail myself of if the State Navy would permit.

The key to any successful relationship is communication and trust.

Our current enemies were given the opportunity to engage in fair business. They chose a path path of dishonesty. Now while this can happen in some business relationships, in this case it was rather severe. And since these companies were in control of a large portion of the local market, if they weren't square with us, it was highly doubtful they were square with anyone. They were trying to have a...what's the Caldari word? A..Dokusen? A Monopoly.

So as I write this, we've made that fairly impossible for them. With the removal of several Raitarus, Azbels, a Sotiyo (the first ever destroyed in combat) and countless Planetary Commodity exchanges (POCOs) throughout the surrounding systems, we've been able to systematically remove them from the local economy (HORDE-style).

Be sure to swing by Perimeter today. We have some additional exercises in "Mergers and Acquisitions" (Murders and Executions) lined up, with plenty of fireworks.

So how does 'communication and trust' square with Gobbins' misrepresentation of the demands he made on Karin? I mean, you're citing 'a path of dishonesty' as the crime. Meanwhile, Gobbins is saying it was an offer of '50/50', and everyone else involved (both from RMT and Pandemic Legion) is saying it was a demand of 100bn up front, and 80% of the profits ongoing. So, isn't that a path of dishonesty?

And even you attempted to portray all of this as a purely altruistic 'oh, Horde came in to make things better for traders' until you were confronted and admitted it's because Gobbins is after all the imaginary ISK he's fool enough to think is there for the taking.

So... 'trust'? 'Dishonesty'?

Horde? Are you serious right now?

Let's be honest lass, you COULD get a bean to write up one of these press releases to make it 'represent' Horde a wee bit better, but we're almost as bad at aligning text as we are at aligning ships. No-one wants to see that. Aside from the Imperium's propaganda team, maybe.

There is no trust involved here and the only communication is a generous slathering of lies. Mokk claiming Horde somehow has the high-ground on the matter is laughable. Why he continues with his charade is beyond me.

Sinjin, what is this bullshit?

You are in PanFam, not in the Imperium. We do not do need these 'here is why we are doing what we are doing and why you should be on our side' posts. We ACT, New Eden REACTS.

**** the soft ball 'helping the people's market' and 'danger to the economy of the north' excuse. No one at all is buying it and the people who think otherwise are just going to dig deeper into their idiotic conspiracy fueled heads hearing it. **** your assurances and damage control and stop wasting your time explaining the causes and sequence of events that got Horde here.

Horde is taking over the highsec tax haven's. That is all these people need to know and that is all you need to share.

They will figure the rest out themselves. Just like when our supercapitals appear on grid and their regions burn, just like when their members leave en mass because of waffle camps at every hour of the day for months, and just like when they see the horde ticker on every citadel outside Jita.

Our actions will speak for themselves.

S'truth, we're amazingly bad at aligning. Thank goodness most of our enemies are even worse at tackling stragglers.
