Intergalactic Summit

That's two in one. But okay.

1. Tibus Heth has committed several heroic deeds, each of them alone makes him the Hero
- He saved himself a simple worker from under gunfire when everyone else were hiding behind the barricades (actually after this event his career skyrocketed, it was shown in the media everywhere in the State and all the people considered him a hero, I don't know why would you ask that, weren't you Caldari at that time (YC110)?)
- He has united all the Corporations of the State under one banner
- He has liberated our Homeworld from 200 year of occupation
- During the liberation of Caldari Prime he himself, while being de-facto leader of Caldari State, was fighting along line soldiers like a regular soldier. How many other heads of Empires would do the same? How many CEOs of Megacorps would?...

2. That Tibus Heth was a patriot is at the same time harder and easier to explain.
First of all, he was from the Kaalakiota corporation, which alone makes him formally 'a Patriot'. Second, his speeches were rather patriotic, filled with love and admiration to our State, Caldari people and Caldari blood. Then, in one of his first speeches he explicitly claimed to be a patriot. (I think it was his first speech too, where he has introduced himself to the whole State). And finally, his selfless actions and reforms he has executed to remove nepotism, establishing real meritocracy and making the State stronger. Even if he hasn't finished them, he has streghtened the State and we still can feel the difference and how general quality of life for every citizen became better.

No, by all means nuance is appreciated without the need for apology. Thank you for clarifying, and my compliments for the work your organization has done.

I'll look forward to watching a recording of your presentation on this subject in Dam Torsad.

I see your perspective. Let me offer you mine for comparison.

You openly say that Tibus Heth is still a hero, despite him being wanted by the State. Quite a bold statement, considering that his followers that stole ships from Caldari Navy (again, a bold crime, I am sure) were quite literally manhunted not so long ago.

Following your logic you were the first one to accuse I-RED of being pirates, comparing them to common thugs and Guristas. You did not provide any proof to back your claim, and I am afraid it is too late for that as Ms. Priano is no longer an employee of that organization.

You stalked an harassed my employer on numerous occasions hurting her business reputation.

Furthermore, I did some research and found no combat records of you being present in a Scorpion during the Haatomo siege. I don't say you never were there, I don't say you were, all I know is that I couldn't find any proof that you were or were not. I know I weren't there for a fact though, so there's that.

All in all I see it as a leapfrog of quite embarassing accusations and verbal back and forth which happens everywhere everyday - just check Sararen's comms right now. Ridiculous stuff. Maybe this conflict should be dissolved?

Was it ARC's intention to shift this thread so far off topic, or just one bad poster?

Still upset that Priano wouldn't sate your ego-fueled duel to the 'death'? You know I consider myself a traditionalist when it comes to customs, but a smart soldier knows when to apply tradition, and when to focus on more pressing issues.

Of course not. Though some individuals insist on wearing blinders, thus devolving most threads into this ones current state.

It's not about the duel, it's about making space trash to pay for spreading lies about Caldari Officers in public media.


Is that why you have ran from your duty to the State?..

It would certainly be a mercy for the rest of us....

As ridiculous as these engagements with Commander Kim always are lets not forget that it was well established that she did in fact engage in a criminal attack against fellow Caldari State pilots.

Records of the engagement are public. A State Protectorate Sentry Gun destroyed her Zealot-class Heavy Assault Cruiser in the Innia system on 2013-07-19 at 10:55 during an unprovoked attack on Veikitamo Gesakaarin and Desiderya Tuulinen outside the State Protectorate station. This followed a previous attack against those pilots in the Eha system, where she engaged those same pilots while they were conducting an operation against FDU forces present at that time in the system.

The idea that Diana Kim casts dishonor on anyone after such a shameful display of treachery in full view of the enemy during a time of war is laughable.

She provided no facts in her defense against these charges, merely called Gesakaarin a liar without any proof, and has pretended the incident never happend ever after.

If anyone wants to, that would be the post to link from now on whenever Diana Kim claims the mantle of honor over any other pilot.

Unlike you, I am not. You have been caught publically on lying and now you have proven you don't even have honor to accept the duel. What I can say more about it?
Probably you then will prefer to live in exile with gallentean swines like Nick Bete instead of proper Caldari society?


You have lost your honor, why do you think that such low life like you shall challenge me to anything? You have failed to accept the challenge and have no moral ground to issue challenges to your betters, especially when it was you who was found to behaving dishonorably in public.

If you'd like to hide behind your profession, why you haven't been hiding behind it when you were lying about Caldari Officer. You have said a word and you shall take responsibility for it. Instead, you are just making fool out of yourself. That's not how scientists would behave. Scientists are smart and respectable people, who wouldn't insult officers, defending them.


I won't cover myself in shame from sending a dishonorable liar to know his place. Or maybe I should issue you a similar "challenge" on a degree of stupidity similar of yours.

You shall perform a solo infiltration of Gallente Infrastructure Hub and destroy it within 20 minutes without any other help. That should be as out of scope for you as asking Caldari Officer to do some ridiculous task by dishonorable liar, who was caught on his lies. You have 48 hours to prove that you are an "honorable scientist" and not a total joke as you tried to represent yourself right now. Use any ship or tactic if you want.

Should you achieve the task and provide proofs, I will consider doing your challenge. Should you fail you will cover yourself in shame... well, wait. You have just did it anyways. I don't really know what to ask you to do if you lose since I am totally not interested in lowlife scum to serving me.


It doesn't involve isk AFAIK.

Lets see... you have publically lying about Caldari Officer.
You have continued to lie even when your lies were publically refuted.
You have failed to accept your mistake and bring apologies.
You have displayed yourself a coward and lost your honor by inability to stand for your words.

There's only one option for you left, if you still care about your honor: the tea.
