What?


You are the one that is blinded. Taking back? There's nothing that is yours or the insurgent's. All systems that the insurgents occupied are, by right, Imperial territory.
So is this another piece of scope propaganda? "Taking back what is ours"? Pathetic.


With respect, sir, Heimatar and Metropolis are by right Republic sovereignty, as the Empire officially turned those territories over following the CONCORD treaties.

Of course, the Republic did voluntarily put those territories into contention again by starting the Empyrean War, and so their legal owner may change in the settlement.

When a settlement will actually occur, I don't know. I don't think holding the entire warzone will do it. As others have said, eventually they'll regroup and push back. Even this far we've only gotten because the major TLF organizations quit the field.


Until we are given definitive victory conditions, there won't be any end to this war no matter how much territory we control. And we can't push into any Republic space that has not been established as contested by CEMWPA regulations.

So, all we can do is hold on to what we have taken, for as long as we can, and help the people who live in these systems as best as we can in that time.

It is good to have gotten this far, but we should not view it for more than it is.

Obviously when Sansha joined the Militia the Minmatar just laughed themselves into a grave; its the only explanation.

To the Holy Reclaiming Forces Of God and Her Imperial Majesty the Empress Jamyl Sarum I of the Twenty-Fourth Imperial Crusade:

May you continue in your efforts to grant the benedictions of affordable Navy Slicers and Omens to all capsuleers of New Eden, that the following piece of Scripture may be instilled in the hearts of men across the skein of the Lord's Stars:

"Scorch is OP."
-- Book of High Energy Physics, and Optics.

In the pursuit of such a Divine Mandate, may all the systems be captured; medals awarded be of sufficient gleam; warp cores always stabilized from the scramblers of infidels; and cloaks protected from the sensor-boosted locks of the heathen.

Amen.

Amarr Victor.

Ohhh. Well, she's wrong then. We've met plenty of TLF pilots and it's mostly been us doing the laughing. As for the burying, sadly there aren't often enough large pieces left.

Even when the State controlled all of Federation territory, they weren't so deluded as to think that it somehow meant they'd destroyed the Federation - and they did at least wait until they'd finished the job to start boasting. Then, after a few months of occupation, we took back everything that belonged to us - and then we came for their systems. And then they took back most of their systems. And then we took them all again. Then they captured almost all of ours again, but couldn't finish the job. It was about that point I realised that the Pendulum Wars are a complete sham. They are specifically designed to prevent escalation or victory of any kind.

But Imperial loyalists tend towards grand delusions, so who am I to bring logic and reason into your little self-constructed unreality?

Listen to the man. They don't call them the pendulum wars for nothing - this is hardly my first time with most of the warzone friendly. And it wouldn't be my first time of having to base out of a high sec station either.
