Imperium: How the Amarr God Will Save You

Only God can save the Imperium now.

But to gain God's blessings, the Imperium must learn to love what God loves and hate what God hates. And God hates the Minmatar.

The Minmatar, that filthy, subhuman people who made unholy Rebellion against the Chosen people of God; that filthy, subhuman people who committed the horrific sacrilege of Un-Reclaiming, of denying that God had given all the stars of the heaven to the Amarr Empire.

Yet the ranks of the Imperium fester with these filthy Minmatar subhumans. And so the first step in gaining God's blessing must be the immediate expulsion of all Minmatar pilots from the Imperium. Only a pure Imperium, purged of all that God hates, can hope to survive the onslaught.

There is more. The Minmatar Rebellion was not the first rebellion against the Divine Order instituted by God. Millennia ago, Molok the Deceiver sundered the lands and turned the people of against God. But in the end, Molok the Deceiver was brought before the Emperor in chains and sacrificed upon the Altar of God. Let this be the example for the Imperium: God ordains the sacrifice of those who rebel against him; God ordains the ritual sacrifice of the Minmatar. Fortunately, SCC markets have made it trivial for the Imperium to win God's favor in the sacrifice of the Minmatar. The vast slave markets of Khanid Transport stations teem with millions upon millions of filthy Minmatar subhumans awaiting ritual sacrifice at the hands of the Imperium.

Time is short. Without divine intervention, the Imperium shall surely fall. The last hope of the Imperium lies in Minmatar expulsion and slave sacrifice. Thus saith Nauplius, Prophet of God. Amen. Amarr Victor.

You seem to forget that the Goons already had Minmatar back when they were still 'little bees', and they still had Minmatar in their ranks when they finally tore down BoB and became the CFC and finally the Imperium as we know it today.

God does not factor into this, just their resilient mindset ('We are terrible at this game!'), their solid HR scheme and their boldness. So long as they have these, even if the Imperium falls, they will survive and may resurge again one day.

A Minmatar warship is like a rusting Beetle with 500 horsepower Cardillac engines in the rear, armour plating bolted to chassis and a M2 Browning stuck on top.

Sorry Nosepliers but, I recall the last time the Goonies were down on their luck. They regrouped, rebuilt, reloaded and came back even stronger. Your red god will have nothing to do with the resurgence of the Goon empire. Instead, it will have everything to do with their strength of will, their leadership and their attitude.

Remember that God helps those who help themselves.

Nauplius, are you saying that those bee people should be nobodies like you? That the best that they can hope for is frig fights in a novice plex?

With red god's grace, it looks exactly like that's what's going to happen.

On the upside, the only Goon who will read this diatribe is Arrendis and she is unlikely to treat this seriously.

I'm sure that the forces of Liberty currently dismantling the so-called Imperium would welcome any Minmatar pilots who wish to throw off their chains of tedium and live free.

Humanity has won its battle. Liberty now has a country.

I can say just one thing.

BOTH Federations must be destroyed.

While the Imperium had Minmatar pilots throughout its history, so did everybody else, and thus they were at no particular disadvantage. Now, however, the Imperium needs an unfair advantage, an advantage it can gain by being the first to purge itself of the stain of Minmatarness.

Sorry Mr Kinnison but the Capsuleer organisations involved in this war are hardly the forces of Liberty. Almost all of them (if not all of them) are run under authoritarian regimes. Many are also notorious pirate alliances such as those that make up Low-Sec Voltron, or Pandemic Legion and its junior divisions.

This is not to say an Authoritarian regime is bad, contrary it can be much more efficient then a democratic or republican government as unilateral actions can be taken swiftly. But, to label them the forces of Liberty is a stretch when in a few months time you'll decry them for the cut throat mercenaries and pirates that they proudly are. After all, this war started thanks to a large bankroll and a disgrunted cartel and friends..

Any regime is more efficient than a democratic regime, Mr. Onzo.
With exception of anarchy, but calling anarchy a regime in the first place I believe will be incorrect.

I agree Ms Kim, I inherently dislike democracy. However, I think it's that built in inefficiency that makes it so popular. Something about checks and balances.

Find some forces of liberty and we'll talk. All I can see are collections of capsuleers in varying degrees of psychosis and megalomania dismantling each other for fun and profits. While those bee guys had it coming, it's hardly being done in the name of liberty or freedom, but rather in a frenzied sating of bloodlust and fury.

All I can do is applaud the choice of target, but I'm not rubbing shoulders with the perpetrators any time soon. They're no better than the bee guys, in the end. Just a far less cohesive target for well deserved scorn.

If a pilot consider themselves Matari, there's far more deserving threats to dispose of rather than some irrelevant psychotic eggs up in the north. The real threats are right here on our borders.

You purged yourself of the stain of MInmatarness and where has that left you?

Yeah, no. I say they ought to stick to their usual bullheaded stubbornness and irreverent defiance, as they always had since the time of BoB.

The coalition has formed from myriad groups in response to tyranny. They choose - for whatever reasons, venal or moral - to oppose the monolith that thought itself invulnerable. They are the very embodiment of Liberty because freedom is choice.

Once the stifling power of the bees is checked, no doubt the coalition will fall apart. But there will be a new freedom in New Eden.

Liberty is the right of all, not just those in the Federation.

I actually think that democracy is popular only among below average people who realize that they lack any merit to get into a position of authority, and thus participating in such sort of regime is the only way for them to stroke their ego, imagining their importance.

With respect, Mr. Kinnison, this vision of "liberty" plays directly into the definition Ms. Kim peddles: chaos.

We may be coming into a time when coalitions fracture or are hounded to destruction, and nullsec returns to a patchwork of small, rival territories. That's true, but....

Bajillions of warlords is not kinder to the traveler than the autocratic monolith, and the autocratic monolith will often make it pretty clear what (if anything) you need to do if you want to stay safe. What's more, a fragmenting of space means more fortified borders, which makes it more difficult for travelers of any sort to move safely.

To my eye, that's not freedom. It's a vicious patchwork of armed camps, each probably as paranoid as its neighbor.

(To be fair, it's not like that paranoia is even unreasonable.)

I don't think that it was my original definition that liberty is a freedom, someone else said it in the discussion I've started about it.
