The following documents have been prepared for your better understand of some of the things I wish to discuss today.

Datacore - Draft Of Paz Information

I am interested in any and all who have any interest in working with, collaborating with, joining, or helping such a cause.
Any question may be asked.

The truth is peace. But nobody is looking for truth.

There's a clever and condescending way to put this project down while at the same time cracking a joke. I can't find that comment.

Good luck.

Peace...? Of all things. Well, wot can be betta' than fightin' fo Peace. Da one wid that capital P. Definately beats Freedom - dat slippery basterd of a concept that makes people throw away them lives en masse. Capital F dat is.

And only fo' 20% tax? Ya'll need phalanxes o' pitchfork to keep 'em applicants in line. Lucky fo' ya, ya filter out them illiterates first.

Lucky fo' me ya're lookin' fo the best o' da best', while I bes only a mediocre of the low'stlives. But wishin' ya the best sis-Q. Can't get meself to call ya Mum-Q. But still - can't wait fo' yer Universe o' Peace to come.


Maybe ya shouldda' add Love n'-or Equality to da mix. People historically like to fight fo' those too.

I will be honest when I say that I believe your constitution needs quite a bit of work. However, I say this not in a bitter or conceited way. Instead, I say it with hopes that you will take the moment to review and think harder on what it is you are trying to achieve.

"Peace" can be defined in many ways to many different people. I personally do not feel it is possible to lay down a single template for obtaining it, when it is so dynamic. There is much to consider, and when one part of your constitution deems that a single person holds the power of changing any decision rather than a board as a whole, you may find that some people doubt the sincerity of what you are trying to achieve. To be clear, this is not necessarily my own doubts, but just the doubts I believe you may come up against.

Nevertheless, I wish you the best of luck in your endeavour.

You will find that the path to peace is a road rarely traveled. To many here it will be seen as naive or a foreign concept unworthy of their efforts. But to a select few here it will be seen as courageous and worthy effort.

No dream is unreachable to those who dare to strike out against the odds. Good luck pilot.

I wish you the best, truly. I think all that many of us want is peace, one way or another, and the chance to be useful, and to have some goals of our own?

But ooooooh, the Mother of Peace is you, and while votes will happen, any of them can be vetoed by you with no mention of how that might be overturned. I can already feel the bubbling resentment, the sense of injustice! Mind that! Gallente statecraft likes to experiment with different levels of checks on authority, bless it. I....don't think this looks like one of the experiments that allowed the population to continue voting?

And with a title like Mother of Peace you'll need nicer robes, of course. They help.

So a "benevolent" dictatorship under the guise of an oligarchy... can't see any way this could possibly go wrong. frankly you are better off just admitting to it being a dictatorship, at least that way you wouldn't be starting out based on a lie.

Without having to go into it, many of you seem to have missed on page three where it talks about additions, adjustments, ect while it is finished being formed.

Protections would of course be added, I simply do not have the knowledge that some others do from different perspectives, and therefore, I put a note to say it is not finished.

Apparently, however, every person who has decided to open the datacore never got that far.

The truth is peace. But nobody is looking for truth.

There's really no "of course" about the protections; governments operate at all levels of protections and lack thereof!

I think, maybe, that you are trying to write a founder's statement and a constitution or what-have-you at the same time. It's better if they're separate.

Peace is a noble goal. I am, however, of the opinion that peace is not something that can be enforced externally, it is something which one must find within themselves. When one is at peace they naturally radiate that peace into their every day interactions thus promoting others to be at peace with themselves.

On the other hand many confuse peace for control. Peace enforced by the threat of destruction or punitive measures is hardly peace at all.

I am hoping your initiative pursues the former definition of peace.

I am intrigued by your plan. I like the idea of a bastion of peace to serve as a shining beacon for the people of New Eden. Do you already have territory for this project? It sounds like you are interested in nation building, and as most sectors of New Eden have been claimed I wonder where this nation would be physically located.

In any case I will keep an eye on this. If I like what I see I may choose to become involved.

There are two and only two ways to guarantee peace. Total surrender or total domination. Neither option are to be desired.

On the contrary, it was read, actually. From what I see (and what I meant, myself, when speaking an opinion which it seems you asked of people), is that the current form has a few immediate concerns that may need focused on first. A few have even pointed out which area in particular seems troublesome.

That is not ignoring or skipping over/not making it through what you wrote regarding changes. It is giving advice on what people think is an issue. Is this advice not what you wanted?

A place is one of the biggest issues. I do not wish to go to war to procure a paradise.
I posted what I had written for these exact things, to either confirm what problems I knew it had, or others I had overlooked.

I agree. Some of the things people have pointed out is why I am torn between two ways of leading.
I know myself, I trust myself, but nobody else does. That's why I know myself.

Studying does show that power does change people, and I have never been in a position of power.

So, I need a way to put a way to remove me from power if it came to that, but at the same time, I'm worried about being over thrown for violent tendencies, instead of continuing to propagate peace.

It is, and I thank you for it. I shall continue to make revisions as much as I can, while studying old and new forms of governments to see what I can do to improve it.



I appreciate the time you all have taken to look over this project.
It will not be easy, and it may be a long time before it comes to fruition. But I'm not going to sit back and watch us tear each other apart when horrible things lurk.

The truth is peace. But nobody is looking for truth.

I prefer proactive shooting. It gives one a better chance of being the one to survive.

I do not see how your attempt in making a nation be any different from all those other city states out there.

I also felt that us capsuleers are going to be really awful at being the government, what with our disconnection with the baseliners and our various psychosis. Yes, myself included. I rather let the baseliners handle most of the actual governing.
