Intergalactic Summit

I wish to take responsibility for confusion over how the Disciples of Ston plan to care for the influx of recently freed people. The confusion is partly due to my refusal to listen to the criticism of others over starting multiple forum threads. In those diffuse threads there are detailed descriptions of the infrastructure of what we are building, but who wants to read all that? As a result, there is confusion. So, I apologize for that.

Alright, I need to review a few well-known but often forgotten facts.

1. Customs laws and enforcements forbid capsuleer pilots from transporting slaves/ former slaves on to planetary colonies. Customs so strictly enforces these rules, that it simply cannot be done, certainly not on the scale that we would have to do it.
2. Orbital stations of today are massive constructions of human oriented infrastructure including all that is necessary to sustain and support large populations. We often forget that as capsuleers who rarely leave the "egg."
3. All those we rescue, house, feed, educate, train and otherwise care for are on board orbital stations. These stations have state of the art medical, nutritional, sanitational, and housing facilities. No one is abandoned on planets to fend for themselves without resources.
4. Planetary colonies that the members and friends of DSTON own, produce millions of liters of water, millions of grams of protein supplements, livestock, etc. Donations and purchases by DSTON account for millions of doses of medicines, servings of frozen commodities, even consumer electronics for educational and entertainment purposes.
5. Though the mathematics of our populations are great, the mathematics of our resources are enormous. Do we soon forget that power of the capsuleer both to purchase and to produce is beyond the normal non-capsuleer scale?
6. Gallentean and Minmatar Corporations and Security organizations operate freely and without hindrance in Amarr space. Gallentean society has in the past and continues to spend very considerable sums of ISK on the cause of Minmatar freedom.
7. The Costs of DSTON efforts are a drop in the bucket relative to the whole cluster. Our corporate support is tiny, financially speaking. However, our corporation partners benefit greatly in P.R. and politically by aiding these populations of freed slaves.

So for those who really do care about how these rescued ones will fare; they will fare excellently. To those who merely wish to criticize; nothing I say will satisfy you nor will you believe it. However, your criticisms will not stop our work. To it we are dedicated.

It was a joke if you even bothered to see how I phrased it. I am suprised someone such as yourself would have even believed that. The Disciples are more better then that as what Manwe had pointed out last post.

Hmm... no it is not for them to feel brave. Our very excistance is against what they believe. We are not the first they have declared war upon nor will be the last. They fight with practically everyone including other pirates. Read the Galnet logs on the Equilibrium of Mankind, that explains alot about who they are with.

Other then that, it is good to hear about the other good news.

Hmm... I had actually thought you and the rest of the Seekers were against our whole "freeing slaves" ideal. And the fact that some of us are of Matari blood. My wording was poor back there so I appologise for the confusion.

If that is not the case, I would not think it to be our new member... as you seemed to have also declared war upon DSton as well. That is unless you concider both our corporations here to be basically the same.
