Intergalactic Summit

That's really nice of you to say, Ms. Priano, but even in such a case the link's too attenuated for us to claim any real credit.

But-- you're definitely right that we all had fragmentary parts. Maybe we should see whether we can set up something for assembling them, here on the IGS? I've been thinking over "rules" for such a thing: maybe, each post to contain a single story, ask a single question, or answer one (to prevent walls of text getting constructed)? Otherwise, it seems like free-form is the way to go.

Thoughts?

You.. can't motivate your people to defend your and your allies' assets in hisec, and this is a dig against us, I suppose?

I fear yes, but such happens when one tends to the wordy.

Not to mention I am easily distracted. But is my observation not accurate?

You do seem to be rather... well perhaps the less said the better.

You make me so sad.

Sometimes my perspective on things does strike people as kind of dark (or else naive), but ... well....

Here's the full context:



I've barely gotten out the bit you found so cynical before I immediately question it myself-- and then explain that I can't find any evidence that it's true.

Was that really unclear?

In practice, Ms. Priano's someone I trust, as a researcher, as a leader, as a seeker after truth. She's someone who shares my interest in knowledge and insight: like me, she wants to understand, but she's way better about looking for it methodically, and guiding others in the search. I'm more of a dabbler; I get into a lot of stuff, not much of it very deeply.

She's someone I look up to.

So, yeah, your observation doesn't seem really very accurate to me. It seems like you picked a statement that you assumed was meaningful on its own ... and that was your takeaway for the whole thing.

Because I'm wordy? Because you expect me to be cynical and say awful dark negative things about people?

Maybe I am wordy, a little. Reality's complicated; it's hard to get words to track it with any accuracy at all, and I do kind of try to make them.

I do also sometimes freely say stuff people find horrifying; I'm not as blunt as Miz, but I do tend to try to speak the truth as I see it, and some bits of this world (or the way I see those bits) aren't very pleasant for a lot of people to think about. On the flip side, there might be bits that I just don't see very clearly (yet, I hope), and see as brighter than they are-- or else, just, brighter than people think they are. Maybe that's why people think I'm naive.

Either way, if you didn't understand because you saw a direct statement that reflected all the awfulness you see in me, and took that as what I was really saying as a result ... maybe that's really me not communicating things very well, but on a higher level than just a few lines of text.

I guess that's something I should work on.

Mokoto Priano: 2,905 lifetime posts on IGS
Julianus Soter: 329 lifetime posts

Thread so far:
Soter: posts a thing
Mokoto: "Soter just craves attention"
Syagrius: Why are you like this?
Aria: Mokoto is my friend. Mokoto is pure. Mokoto is life.

hmmmmm

I thought they are all clones of different genetic encoding with the mind of the primary capsuleer uploaded into them?

Haaa~

I like when enemies of the State fight. It is amusing and funny, revealing things about both of them!


And of course on the subject:
Gallente Federation tries to push their propaganda and lies as another media outlet. That should not be tolerated. Gallente voices must be silenced. If anyone has information about physical location of their media retranslators (any citadels, control towers and other structures), please drop me a mail, I'll look if we can take it down for good.

Always amuses me that Ms Kim just *has* to watch all Gallente media. Just to make sure it's all propaganda filth of course. Now we know why she just 'happened' across the 'Gallente mating practices' holoreels...

Ms. Jenneth's praise is greatly appreciated, but flatters me beyond my worth. While I'm the most visible of ARC's coordination group, there are many of us doing considerable work, and this work would be impossible without the immensely valuable contribution of Capsuleers both in our various partner organizations and flying independently.

That said, we digress, as the appearance of sockpuppet capsuleers would indicate.

Let's get back to the original topic.

GMVA has started a news portal, evidently, and Soter believes that some leaflets and posters quoting him is defamation overshadowing the collaborative work of hundreds of capsuleers, and certainly saving millions if not billions of Baseliner lives.

Speaking of flexibility, what kind of exercises does the ARC "coordination group" practice to maintain such flexibility while gratifying each other?

Is it just obsessively cataloging news stories about yourself or is there more?
