In my experience respect is earned, not given. Perhaps if you actually did something to earn it instead of demanding it people would show you some.

Good luck with that one.
You probably just lost what little you had by simply making such a crass demand.

Amarrian arrogance never ceases to amuse me.

Your experience is not important. In our mighty empire, noble birth is enought to earn respect.

Hmm. Mind telling me exactly where you live. I think next time I come to Providence I'll make it a point to stop by and shoot you.

This reminds me of something my grandmother once said in regards to the higher, nobler men and women of the Empire.

"Give your respect first to their position or office, if they have one. Second to their family and history, if it is noteworthy. Third to them, if they deserve it."

Needless to say, grandmother doesn't often share the company of many highborn Lords or Ladies.

Even in your empire, those of noble birth are expected to live up to the expectations that birth bestows upon them. You do not, and it's painfully clear even to outlanders such as myself. Perhaps if you desire respect, you should treat others with respect and stop behaving with such a ludicrous sense of entitlement.

You may not necessarily have my respect, Vaari, but you certainly have my amusement.

Good luck on you quest, though!

I, Condor Amarr, orbiter of Faction War buttons, shooter of war targets and little red crosses, loser of many ships and 2nd runner up in my year 3 high jump class (got the medal and everything) DEMAND that you respect me.....

See what I did there Vaari? Sounds dumb, doesn't it. How about you continue your work to better the glorious Empire, as you have done in the past. Do that, and you will continue to have the respect of me and my men.

hmm i expected some capsuleers be old or aging but old and senile thats a new combination in this day and age. as for providence cant imagine why that backwater of region needs respect.

respect and trust need to be earned and maintained the Amarr havent either thus dont deserve either from me.

Two things:

1 - Please learn what grammer is. I nearly needed an interpreter just to get through the code you call a language.

2 - Who are you? Whilst I'm sure you are probably very important somewhere, that somewhere is not here.

This is the most wonderful thing, Vaari.

What is it that makes it so? Is it the indefinite article in 'the Providence'? The singular 'resident'? The concise indignation of it?

Your satire floated my boat magnificently.

Would recommend.

There are many forms of respect, but in the end, keep being respected is earned. If you got a position of power, are born of nobility, have a long line of tradition behind you or your family has done great deeds, you get a headstart in respect, people will respect you, but only as long as you uphold why you got that respect. Fail to uphold the behaviour supporting this, and you'll loose respect fast.

Respect is one of the efw things left we cannot demand, we have to earn it. And once we have earned it, we must sustain our behaviour to show we are worth of enduring respect.

So Vaari, don't go out and demand respect, it's counterproductive, and only shows you're not worthy of the (little? itseems) respect people show you.
Go out and work for it, stand for your principles whatever they are, and show respect to your fellow capsuleers, and it'll come to you.

I have every right to demand great respect, for im high nobility of the Empire. Especially people of the Providence region should know this, for they live under rule of the Daedalus the Just. CVA is defender of the Empire outside Empire borders, but even some of its members have difficulties to comprehend our Imperial tradition and way.

Im often target of jokes and insults, but people should know, that Im most noble person in Providence region, thus they should learn to show their respect towards me. What comes to earning respect, even thought that I, Lord Vaari have not earned the respect of the people of Providence is ridiculous. I have done more heroic deeds for that region than most of its residents combined.

I demand a constantly supply of ice cream during my patrols! Alas, we cannot have everything we want.

Also, dear, be nice to the old man. We have bigger fish to fry.
