Intergalactic Summit

Are you joking?

Rodj is hilarious

Since your message seems to relate to what I mentioned earlier, I can only assume that 'Ascy' was directed at me.

"It works when your problem isn't practically immortal and easily capable of rebuilding"
It's simply a matter of scale.
If one is dealing with an infestation of fedos, then the scale would be some product of number of fedos, space they are in, lifespan of fedos, and their ability to multiply. In a hangar container, a decent fire would sort the problem out.
If one was sieging a city, it would be some product of the size of the city, defenses, their stockpile of food/munitions and their ability to repair or reinforce. Using the same fire from our fedo-infested hangar container would be futile.

Capsuleers are practically immortal. It's a stretch to assume that we are actually immortal. We've both seen many disappear even with what would have seemed a reliable cloning contract with a reputable provider.
Given that we are in the presence of those who have lived hundreds of years even before cloning was common place, I would say that our "immortality" is no more assured in the 14 years since the common use of capsule technology as it was the thousands of years prior. We are harder to kill via traditional methods.

Given the time the Empire has existed in it's current form (space-faring, stretching across hundreds of star systems) is such a small fraction of our actual existence; It's safe to say that what we you are calling "Immortal" could be as fleeting as a fedo-infested cargo container to the God's plan.

Capsuleers have already found ways to push the limits of relativity just by pushing mass numbers of drone-like capsuleers into a system. I'm not sure if I will live long enough to find out what the amount of firepower required to destroy the Sabik ideal might be, but I know God's Chosen will be.

And as much as it may surprise a few, I do have a sense of humour.

That is all well and good, but doesn't address the point. Our ideas can't be purged by fire. One capsuleer can't actually kill another. Of course, on a sufficiently long timescale everything may change, entire nations - and their ideas and ideologies - may be consigned to oblivion but that's not the scale we operate on today, nor in this context.

We capsuleers, whether we be members of PIE, Goons, school corps or whatever else, are as far as containers and vessels for ideologies and philosophies... fairly invulnerable.

Lasers and autocannons can help drive the point home, but if you want to get at the idea you're going to have to employ far more difficult weapons. Reason, guile, deception or immutable truth. I have no proficiency in applying any of those to other people, and it would appear the same applies to most of us out here if history is any judge, but these are still the only weapons that'll get at an idea.

Again, context and scale matters here. New Eden has changed since those days, and we're talking about what we do as capsuleers.

But what of the followers of The Burgundy God? Their clerical vestments of smoking jackets are rather classy.

Verbal opposition counts for nothing, young pup. I am as ancient as the soil you were born on. Countless billions have perished in my time in space alone. I have fought empires and won... and lost. I've seen your kind glitter and dye faster than the lives I've reaped over and over and over again. Their blood stains my armada - my weapons - my hands - my soul. I am awash in their very existence for all eternity.

To me, you are no-one.

...

Woah! That was fricking weird!

I could have sworn I was giggling a second ago...

I'll be right back once I've remembered the witty comment I was going to give to this topic.

OH YEAH!

This whole fricking thing is hilarious!

Syenna, muh dear,

I've only been lucky enough to fly with you for a brief stint over the last while, but you are fabulous! I really REALLY want to join you on this venture and I KNEW I always liked you the best!

(Sorry Milo, love you too tho)

Please please please reap and reap those who foolishly follow this bloody (no pun) Red God twit.

Only when they finally realise their folly and submit and worship me will the stars be aligned and heaven righted!

MWahahahahahHAHAHAHAHAHahahaaha!!!

Ahem... I mean... well... damn it all THAT'S WHAT I MEANT... OK?

Also, seriously, where'd you find this lovely bunch?

~~~~~
Finally, to end on a comedy note:


This. This right here. This is what we need. BOW DOWN BEFORE YOUR BURGUNDY GODDESS! YOUR CRIMSON MISTRESS! YOUR SCARLET EMPRESS! YOUR VERMILLION QUEEN!

...your carmine.... erm... carmine... conqueror?

As if you needed a reason to stay out of Provi.

Haha, what? Why declare war on the groups that provide logistic support and the numbers needed to take care of the citadel, then? You don't even know me, or my corporation, and I doubt the flurry of completely suspicious new hires who, for whatever reason, are likely injected with skills to actually have given a ****. You're trying to jerk yourself off as a righteous cause for some Sabik nutjob B.S. while not aggressing on corporations that, given the chance, would purge you from their respective nation in droves.

Stop waggling your killboard around like an oversized clitoris. Yes, I checked your combat history. Yes, I don't care.


EDIT: Just realized something.



Groups you're familiar with? Like, I-RED? The group you're warring with now - that you fought ALONGSIDE for some boyish Merc for 'Caldari honor' and whatever? Wait, hold on, let me pull a few quotes of you threatening people from that one thread. You remember it, right?




Huh. What's that reason, again?



Huh.
That's odd.

Epic retort, dude.

Another edit, again: Quick question, I thought PYRE and Ex-PYRE had a thing where they decidedly didn't shoot other PYRE and Ex-PYRE? What happened to that? You feel like shooting SFRIM in case you get yourself a pretty Aria corpse? Stuff like that? I have so many questions - could you answer a few of them for me?
