This is what I keep telling people, but then they crow on about free will and other such nonsense.

This is what free will gets you. Debaucherous displays, attacked by psychopaths, followed by witty banter on the IGS.


Freewill also gives you self-sacrifice, benevolence, unselfishness, love, condolence, mercy, generosity, kindness, compassion, pity, sympathy, nurture, bravery, camaraderie, duty, etc. All of these qualities proceed from a free human spirit. let us not give up simply because some choose to use their freedom for ill.

I hate responding to you, by the way.

None of these things are tied to free will and I challenge you to prove that they are. What you are doing, Captain, is you are following a very tired routine.

First, you make the proposition that free will is a primary good.

Then you take other things that you believe are primary goods, and falsely state that they are dependent upon the first thing.

You can have mercy without free will. You can have camaraderie without free will. You can have generosity without bravery. You can have duty without comaraderie. None of these things are tied together by necessity.

At best, some may be statistically linked, but even that is not something I think you can prove. At best, you are dealing with 'Correlation, not causation'.

I don't know about all that, but Free Will has garnered me the wealth of nations and lasting friendships. Also, Rifters. Pew pew.

Hello, Lyris. Good to see you again. We do miss you in The Summit, from time to time.

Sadly, as one of the 'psychopaths' I was talking about, the amount of wealth you have managed to gather is actually rather a point in my favour.

Have you folks moved to using Merlins yet, or will you still be trusting in rust?

Hello, Tiberious.

You'll forgive my prolonged absence from The Summit; honestly, it's not you, it's me.

But to address your claims, I have to point out something to you that might seem a little harsh: very few of us even know about the events of Federation Day, and even fewer were directly involved. Looking back on the recorded chatter, it was a very impromptu thing that a certain large, crimson ship decided to undertake on the spur of the moment. 'We' didn't do it for publicity as you claim; a guy, and a few of his friends, did it for the fun of it. A minor point of contention from your perspective I am sure, and all the more evidence to heap onto the assertion that 'goons are psychopaths,' but this is something that you need to understand if you truly wish to comprehend the Right-Honourable Goonswarm Federation of Space Planets.

As to frigate-class battlesteeds, the Rifter remains an enduring symbol of our endless struggle for freedom against oppression.

Oh, I never said you did it for publicity.

That was another guy.

I said you did it because you are psychopaths. Killing for laughs seems to fit the category, no?

I apologize for inferring the whole of Goonswarm are the psychopaths though. I should have indicated that these were just a few members of Goonswarm.

Unless, of course, Goonswarm condones their actions in which case I think I shall go right back to inferring again!

Lots of love,

Tibby.

Hmm, perhaps I was wrong. Perhaps goons show up at whatever pops up in the media just because they unleash carnage on whatever they see.
Either way, being publicity addicts is by far one of the least harmful attributes they might possess, so I'm not gonna debate about it any further here.

I'd be happy to discuss over dinner sometime exactly what personality flaws you believe me and my compatriots to have.

Interesting to see that capsuleers wish to communicate between themselves using Federation day festivities as its excuse....

Can't say i'm amused to see that freedom of communication is also one of the things that the Federation charter allows...

I am sorry to hear that. I do not comprehend your point since it does not make any sense to me.

The rest is pure nonsense. It is merely my opinion on education, apparently not the same as yours. I do not consider myself eligible to judge who is worthy to raise children - where did you get that idea again, and what is the point to put words in my mouth continuously like that ? Am I not clear enough in what I say ?

I was there. After almost ten years playing Eve, I actually was at a player event. Tip of my hat to Alain for setting this up!

The moderator looked at the message and shook his head. Get me the person who sent this message and remind him that protocol requires that all messages in the Intergalactic Summit must be in character. This message almost sounds like he thinks that this is a game.

Please remember to stay in character when posting in this forum. One post was deleted for being offensively out of character. Several other posts come close to that level.

Ooops! I just realized that I have been posting out of character, assuming I have a character.
