Fleet member 3: My auto-transalator says he wants a frog for his birthday?...

I got chokin' and chicken....I am flat out *not* putting that sentence through my translator...

Translation for ye lads 'n' lasses who are accent-impaired;

"But them folk who're flying with me; they're swifter on the uptake than you folk. They've been rolling with me long enough to have made sense of my dialect.

You're wanting another perfect GQ? Go look in the mirror, not to me.
I'm not that gentle.

Peace to you."

Hm. Like listening to grandad after a few drinks.

Hooray for standardised language - although, you know, Forge region dialects and all...

'Oly Sheet 'dat 's novel....

NAPANII, MOTHER*censored*, DO YOU SPEAK IT?!

Well I personally think that if you do someone a favour, they may be inclined to do one for you. Even if you are mortal enemies.

There are Amarrians who sympathize with the way their slaves(who are not all Minmatar, I don't think, though the majority is Minmatar) are treated, and there are Amarrians who disagree with the slavery model.


Those who represent and support the Republic on the diplomatic side of the table know that Amarr as a whole cannot be forced to change their slave-driving ways, however much fighting is done to free slaves. Nevertheless, with a situation like the Drifter invasion, where the very livelihood of the Empire(and quite possibly all of New Eden) could be put into question, I don't think it's unreasonable to think that the Amarr may be willing to negotiate on some level if we help and support them in their time of dire need.



There is an old tale passed down from my family in which two men were on opposing sides of a great feud between cultures. They, at some point, found themselves locked in a fight near the top of a large mountain. The fighting was fierce, and near the end of it one of them lost his footing, stumbled and nearly fell off of a cliff, clinging for life. In that moment, the other man had to make a decision: to step on his enemy's hand and assure victory, letting him fall onto the rocks below, or help him up and risk defeat. He chose to reach for his enemy's hand and pull him up.

He and his enemy left the mountain alive. And while they still didn't like each other, they chose to fight another day. The feud didn't end there, but down the line it was a moment, a bargaining chip, used to break the cycle of hatred and slaughter at an individual level, and turn people on both sides away from the madness.



Helping Amarr may not immediately solve the issue of slavery or discontent between our people. I'm not expecting a truce.

But it may help open the door a bit wider for future discussion, future dealings. Never let a good crisis go to waste. And we can show Amarr that our brothers and sisters can be dignified, heroic, merciful and virtuous, even if it's easier to let them die at the hands of these dreadful things.

Empire's gratitude is not wiping yet Republic from existence completely. And that's what these minmatar swines, who were celebrating death of Her Majesty - the person who released more slave than anyone else, should learn.
The Amarr empire is truly gratuitous. Even after such lack of gratitude and humanity by minmatars they still let the Republic live.
Truly iron will.

Oh please.

It would be more accurate to say that in the Amarr version, the opponent was helped up, enslaved and Holder and servant together found God.

In the Khanid version, the opponent was helped up, the fight resumed and the Khanid flung the lifeless corpse of his opponent from the cliff.

One could say that in the Caldari version, the Caldari simply walked away, leaving his opponent to fend for himself.

One could also suggest that in the Gallente version, the opponent was helped up and the pair made tender love by the cliff side while they discussed how to best find the middle ground.

You are correct, I think in the Minmatar version, except the Minmatar kept stamping until the cliff side broke away and he too, plunged to his demise.


The Empire, Kingdom and State will remain allies. The State knows full well what we're facing and which power will bring ultimate victory. The Federation will fight hard, and may join with us to prevent their extinction. But the Republic will run, scatter and dissolve. Some Matari will find their way to us and we will fight gladly alongside them. But others will choose death at the hands of the Drifters. I look at this as a simple process of evolution. The Empire has not lasted as long as it has through blind luck. We adapt, we build, we overcome. People are quick to claim that the Empire lost to the Jove, lost to the forces that became the Republic. But where are the Jove now? How much of a threat is the Republic now? This will not be easy. God has set us a difficult task. But ultimately the Empire will prevail.
