It's a party so exclusive that even the people on the list aren't on the list.

Unsurprising, you should see how they treat those invited to join them full-time.

You and I were in PIE at the same time a number of years ago. I know its culture quite well.

I have to admit I was quite surprised to see Kitzless invited to this event, seeing as PIE arranged ritualistic ship-burning parties to destroy gifted Society ships. In hindsight it shouldn't surprise me that we were treated the way we were.

This was a good party. I was honored to be invited to this, and felt proud to get the opportunity to witness speeches from the highest Amarr Navy officers.

I hope there are more opportunities to enjoy good company such as those who were in attendance once more,

Happy PIE Tenth Anniversary!

Recommendations:

-enable ships wobbling in hangar view (pre-Captains Quarters)

-add more missions (NPC fleet vs. NPC fleets that actually shoot)

-STOP NERFING EVERYTHING!

Mr Caul, I am sorry about your unfortunate incident. As I understand it, a security check on your corpmate threw a flag (not personally privy to the details). No insult was intended. As it was explained you were welcome to come in, but I respect your decision not to.

Karmilla, so nice to see you again. Nice to see that you haven't lost your naturally sunny disposition.

Thank you all, it was an honor to have you attend our little event.

Lyn is an addressee in the invitations you people sent out to this.

Are you saying you couldn't check who you were inviting?

Both myself and Lyn received invitations for our whole corporation to attend the ball. When you then decided to go back on your word, I could only take that as a rescinding of our corporate invitation. Regulations regarding heresy were cited, which seems moot when a large portion of the attendees aren't believers at all, and again: you knew about Lyn before we arrived - you invited her.

So what would you rather I assume:

That PIE is so incompetent it can't even keep its friends from its enemies, or that this was a planned and malicious decision to slight me and my party publicly?

Regrettably, I was unable to attend despite my direct invitation due to familial obligations and the timing of the event.

I apologize for my rudeness.

I had a good time at the ball, thanks for the invite and the courtesy and hospitality that was extended to me by members of PIE and other guests. It was an extremely well-run event. The art gallery in particular was really educational and interesting, I learned all sorts of new stuff and the paintings were great. I don't know how people dedicate themselves to a lifetime of painting, it surely takes more discipline than what I've got. I feel sorry for anyone who wasn't invited.

After I left the ball (which I believe was pretty much right when it was closing anyway) I felt like some recreation so I left with one of the ball servants in tow, because I needed a local person to show me where the good entertainment spots were. I'm not sure if the servant was employed by the venue or by PIE, and I also am not really sure if he's a worker or a slave... we didn't discuss that stuff - but he said that it was okay for him to assist me because it was his job to service the needs of the guests, so technically he was still performing his duty by helping me out even if we weren't actually on the premises because I was still a guest at the ball. I have no idea how that works or if that's true or not, but I figure if he was lying, that was his problem, not mine. Anyway, he got stuck into the alcohol a bit once we got to the karaoke bar, which was probably my fault to be honest because I was the one buying drinks, and as it happens he's a bit of a "two-pot screamer" so I had to kind of look after him a bit so he didn't get into too much trouble (which he didn't, he was quite well behaved considering the trouble he had standing). As I'm sure he's a valuable employee of somebody I didn't want to leave him out in the mall slumped against a bench so I took him back with me and right now he's sleeping off the damage in the dorms at my HQ building.

Just letting you know this so just in case he is actually your employee and you're missing someone on the roll call, that I've got him with me and it's no problem to bring him back to wherever he needs to be, just let me know. If on the other hand he's venue staff I'll just ask him what his schedule is when he wakes up and I'll make sure he's on time for his next shift and reimburse any appropriate parties if there were any problems with him being absent or it turns out he wasn't doing what he was supposed to be doing.

Thanks again for the lovely party!

I had a good time, I hope my dancing didn't offend!

Also, apologies for leaving early, but it taxed me further than I expected.

For the first time since I started the conversation, he looks me dead in the eye. In his gaze are steel jackhammers, quiet vengeance, a hundred thousand orbital bombs frozen in still life.

Congratulations to Admiral Lok'ri!
Thanks for the invitation, everything was just great!
And please accept my apologies, if I accidentally said something wrong.

(oh, and if someone will say that there was a certain pilot, who tried to dock into a stargate for half an hour in Amarr solar system, it is just a rumor and lie)

Honored are the dead, for their legacy guides us.

Either you might be misinformed, or either your security checkpoint was faulty. I was definitely not armed. I am not even sure I have been armed in a public event even once in my whole life.

The real reason that was given was heresy, which is ludicrous. The TC is the only authority able to issue such sentences, and as far as I know, PIE remains a capsuleer corporation and I have yet to get a notice from the TC as well. Any Faithful, especially part of the nobility, would have been greatly insulted by such public innuendos.

What can be said of PIE Inc when they are not even able to respect the most basic rules and traditions of Amarr ?

Thank you for the time you spent in your mail. I am at your disposal if you have any inquiry, but I regret that I can not withdraw from this thread when your own organisation is in fault, even for you.

You are not the offender here, you do not have to apologize.

Great Ball.

Good Company and Congrats to Gaven once again.

Also I got to Dance with Diana Kim after her guns were stripped at the door, so best ball ever.

P.S. It only took me two years to get that dance from Diana so look forward to the next twenty year PIE anniversary where I might be allowed to have dinner with Diana Lol

Lyn has hit upon many of my conflicts with PIE. They have supplanted the institutions that they claim to exist to support. The TC doesn't determine which capsuleers are heretics, PIE claims to do that. The MIO doesn't prosecute criminals, PIE claims to do that. When an organization exists to replace the system it claims to support, it is a den of pretenders and usurpers.

I'm not going to enter to discuss the issue of captain Farel, that's for my superiors to discuss with hers.

But, certainly, the Praetoria is not supplanting any institutions we support. There was a Grand Inquisitor in our formal ball, and he issued his congratulations just as Admiral Karetta did, if we were supplanting the Ministry of Internal Order he works in, I'm sure he wouldn't have said such polite words. So, as usual, your claims are empty captain Strife, you can go elsewhere to try and sew disorder and chaos, we can see through your lies.
