Intergalactic Summit

Ah, the dignity and maturity of the Amarrian forces never cease to amaze. PIE certainly surrounds themselves with fine allies. "Victor Amarr" indeed.

You'd think with this being 'official' that they'd find a better spokesman.

For clarity and defense of "honour" of those who seem to get dogmatic panties in bunches, my representation here is only on behalf of the military planning and execution of this action and in no way represents a shift of warming relations with narrow minded pedants.

I sincerely hope they can focus on the issues of import here today, rather than their petty, ineffectively prosecuted grievances.

I, too, judge all of a disorganised horde which can be freely joined by just about anyone, by selective examples of particular behaviour that I wish to criticise, for truly, this does make straw-manning hilariously easy to do.


I didn't care for the music.


Or the visuals.


Altogether, it was not the greatest propaganda broadcast that I have observed. In my opinion.


But not the worst.


So there's that, I guess.

While I agree with the general sentiment (that the wars we wage have no real effect on the actual people of the cluster barring our crews) it'd be disingenuous to pretend that the Pendulum Wars can be compared to the stakes out in nullsec. Unless of course you've found a way for Pendulum Wars to provide the wealth and resources to build and proliferate Titans and Supercarriers, and so on.

In terms of bloodshed alone you're comparing a bucket to an ocean.

It doesn't matter whether you're in the Pendulum Wars, if you're staking a claim to a nullsec region or just doing mercenary work for those powers, the only effect you really have is on yourself and other capsuleers. This is true. However, there's the question of intent and motivation. You're not going to find many out in null pretending they're "fighting for the Empire" or "fighting for the Tribes" or whatever, while in reality having no impact at all. They fight for something that is actually tangible. Space, wealth, resources and so on.

In the Pendulum War, you're shedding blood over pretense and pretend.

No, to New Eden it's may not be terribly important, but there's no denying it is both more honest and more impactful overall than the damn bloodsport distraction of the militias.

Edit: Yes I know some nullseccers like to pretend they are actual nations and so on. In my experience they're very rare.

As tiresomely common a view as it is low in aspiration.

To the enlightened wealth is meaningless. A soul, shaped by experience, choice and conviction is the only real tangible value. But I suspect you would not understand and find meaning in sizes of wallets, spaceships and other compensations for the shrivelled limp meaninglessness of your existence.

This was a preplanned weeks in advance announcement.
If you do know about things like strategies, this is the going overt bit.

Posting mission relevant information on a public board...

Good job...

Yeah...

*Snerk*

I wait for 2 months and you make your announcement when I'm not combat capable for 24 hours how unhelpful.

Don't worry I will be there to bankrupt your insurers shortly...

Well, it's not a surprise to anyone familiar with the current state of the war. So the announcement doesn't really hurt anything operationally. Still, you know how Blood Raiders are, they cannot pass up a chance to make themselves seem important.

And Mizhara, just because he happens to shoot the same targets as we do from time to time does not mean that we are allies by any reasonable definition of the word. We go out of our way to avoid it, but the warzone is not a large place. The enemy of my enemy can still be my enemy.
