Intergalactic Summit

Empress Jamyl welcomed King Khanid and his people back into the Empire.

The Privy Council and Theological Council have declared him an Heir.

Both Councils are overseeing the selection process.

A wise pilot knows that our public facade is not always what we are in private. Did you consider that this pilot might, for example, have been working for one of many Imperial or Kingdom intelligence agencies?

It matters not.

I find you lacking in Faith. I do not care for what your personal opinions are regarding my King. But he is Amarr. He is an Heir and God-willing, he may end up our Emperor.

You on the other hand are a Matari commoner, one step away from a Cleansing Pit. Your lack of honor and obedience to the Empire and our Faith has been noted. This is not the first time you have made public declarations against those who have been proven loyal to the Empire. This is not the first time you have questioned openly the decisions of your betters. Further, your disloyalty to the Councils, Privy and Theological, are not just a reflection of your own base willfullness, but also reflect on your House, your Corp and those you would call friends, family and allies. Must we call into question their loyalty based on your words? Is your treason a reflection of their lack of properly educating you, or do they share in your slanderous, vile, evil and corrupt musings?

This is the last time I will provide you with correction here. Repent. Do it now or pay the price for your betrayal to God and Empire.

Given that they've brought Shathol'Syn back in its entirety, it'll be interesting to see if Garkeh Khanid actually follows through this time.

Moments ago on 1919 Hours on 2015.10.18, over 1,000,000 Slaves were sacrificed to the Red God in order that he bless Team edeity and the future Red Emperor, King Khanid, in the upcoming succession trials.

These slaves, these filthy Minmatar subhumans, were purchased some months ago at bargain blowout prices at M-N7WD VIII - Moon 12 - Dominations Assembly Plant. Now the opportunity has presented itself for them to glorify God in their destruction. Faced with the formidable logistics of slave sacrifice at such a remote location, I decided not to give these slaves a death in space, but instead they were fed directly into the station's trash compactor, alive, a horrific act that shocked even the Angels working the station. Despite these unusual conditions, be assured that proper sacred consecrations were performed over the slaves in order that they be a worthy sacrifice onto the Red God.

With this ritual sacrifice, surely, God will lead the future Red Emperor, King Khanid, and his Champion edeity to victory. Amen. Amarr Victor.

Oh get over it. There's always a significant amount of posturing, factionalism, bickering, and insults that happen in the run up to the trials. Always. In the end, we all come together to support the new Emperor, except for this one time. . . .

The amount of whining by the Khanid does their king no credit.

Del.
Here there was a text.

So long as Khanid continues to have Ediety as a potential Champion, I will be echoing questions of Khanid's fitness to rule. This is a cut and dry issue, a blood raider champion is unacceptable and any victory by said figure will be illegitimate by nature. I can only hope that Khanid will remove him. Barring that, I can only hope that he loses early in the championship.

What I will not support is the idea that this means there is corruption at the highest levels of the system. That charge is weighty and should be kept quiet unless it has clear and irrefutable evidence that demands action.

Ediety actively winning the championship would in and of itself qualify as clear and irrefutable evidence that the ceremony and those involved in its management were corrupted.

Or abolishes the practice if he wins.

That being said, I find it amazing that anyone is taking this as a surprise. Khanid has always been known for practicality; he'll use what works and to hell with "how it looks."

On a side note, it's also quite humorous how so many pilots here seem to think that disagreement equals disrespect.

I have faith that they will do the right thing and make sure that a blood raider is not responsible for the helping chose the next Emperor. My sincere expectation is that this is merely an oversight on their part that will be rectified.

I also have faith that if the ritual of the Holy Succession is done properly, the blood raider will not manage to win even if he is allowed to compete.

It is only a problem if my faith on both issues is misplaced.

But if that faith is misplaced and the ritual is allowed to be corrupted to such an extent that a blood raider is allowed to win it... well I lived through the Red Chancellor and I will not suffer a Red Emperor.

Oversight, from the TC and the PC altogether?

Also, how could a succession ritual prevent a blood raider to win when the trials are from what I understand, mere capsuleer combat in an arena?

This thread is becoming increasingly confusing...
