I dunno, I was angling for a 'gunfights in the streets around the hoi polloi.' kind of thriller piece, but there guys are just weird.

Throwing money at a screw-up to make a problem go away is not 'being responsible'. That is being irresponsibly delinquent in their duty to expose the failure points in the system that allowed the event to occur in the first place, and ensuring that they are rectified in order to avoid such failure in the future.

Taking responsibility is being responsible. Refuting it and undoubtedly lying through their teeth is most certainly not.

If you can't see what the benefit is in acknowledging failure in order to rectify it, you're seriously short-sighted.


That burning feeling again...

Mr. 'Are you at war with the cornfields'? Nah, he's got no ties to us that I can find. I suspect his connections lie more in the direction of NC. If he was attached to PL, he'd have more balls and get things wrong less often.

I don't think NancyDotte have fallen that low on quality control. They'd be a damn sight less effective if that was the case. I suspect a simple case of pretense and/or stupidity is the phenomenon dejour.

He does seem to be trying awfully hard to impress people.

Yup. Totally. Trust the platitudes, not the actual data, your Holiness.


Wonder who made you write this? (quoted in case you edit it.)


Ironic use of a title is still use of a title. But also still ironic.

Especially when it's the wrong title.






(A cardinal is properly addressed as, "your Eminence," I think.)


Thanks. That is very wise of you and was my point but I did not say it directly.


There's ... no way that makes sense. Like, at all.

Perhaps both?

I really don't know what passes for romance in those circles.


This is kinda one of the best things I've read on here in a while.
Straight****, I need to step up my posting quality.

Such pessimism, aren't you old enough to have circled back to optimistic, yet?

What did you think of our interceptors in Gehi last night? Noticed your Loki survived.

They were honestly kind of underwhelming given the numbers. Getting out of the fight with pretty much equal efficiency when outnumbered two to one (+ super blob, mixed as it may have been) honestly shouldn't happen. Especially when a good quarter of that 'one' are just there to third party independently.

Basically, how can so many with so much do so very little? Not impressive, Arrendis.

Heh. Now you're back to ISK efficiency? C'mon, Miz, you know ISK efficiency is meaningless. The objectivie is all.

ISK efficiency is not the priority, but combat efficiency is. If it takes you twice the numbers plus a super blob to achieve equal combat efficiency and getting the objective, it speaks rather ill of the group in question. Numbers is a quality of its own, of course, but when it's the only saving grace of an encounter you have problems that need solving.

Smugposting is earned, Arrendis, and that means bringing more qualities to the table than just numbers.

Your objective was rather meaningless to us third parties, after all.

I dearly hope you're not calling me a liar. We had no objective nor contract in Gehi, only an opportunity to join in on a fight. Should I start saving documentation on op announcements for you, if you have decided to start questioning the veracity of my word?
