Diana already has a reputation for stupidity. Congratulations on joining that esteemed company, Madame Goldcore.


I lost all hope for her the moment she announced she was joining PIE.

Of course, considering recent events, prehaps hope shouldn't be completely extinguished.

She's mad but she's magic, there's no lie in her fire.

This is possibly one of the worst threads in the history of these forums.  - CCP Falcon

Well, I just read all of this thread and I certainly feel like I've been baptised by something.

You consider yourself a warrior now, Thgil? Good, then keep this in mind:

War is always a matter of doing evil in hopes of something good coming from it.

The Empire glorifies war, makes it holy. And certainly, there are those who thirst for blood here in the Republic, or in the State or Federation. But only the Empire considers war divine. Nothing good can arise from such a mindset, and I hope you'll serve as a counter-example.

How so? Aren't the Amarr still fighting to "bring the light of God to every corner of the universe"? Or, are you admitting that the empire now fights only for economic and expansionist purposes?

The Book of Reclaiming is just some drivel written by anti-Amarrian elements trying to tarnish the good Amarrian reputation in the cluster.

Imperial ships do bring light wherever they travel, especially when you strike their munitions or fuel bays.

To be fair, Mr. Jaiga, that quote is 133 years old. You're helping Lyn's argument.

And yet it is cited and proclaimed by modern crusaders as part of the 24th Imperial Crusade. Regardless of how people at home think, the crusaders on the front lines seem to agree that "war is divine"

To be fair, it would seem that many capsuleers feel that war is divine. A consequence of believing one is immortal (or an abomination beyond salvation).

For God; Salvation is Imperative, but not at the cost of our Humanity!

Are you serious? Don't ask me. I grew up in the Federation and was raised to believe in facts, not fairy tales. It's from some old dusty book your former colleagues like quoting from claiming it's the unquestionable, infallible, commandments of their deity.
You should talk to some of your old pals and have them explain that whole "reclaiming" thing to you.

taunting is all they teach in the republic academy these days. Who needs physics when you can make a good comeback. ever wonder why their ships are held together by tape?

It evens itself out, as we've recently learned they don't teach diplomacy in Amarrian schools these days.

They do have a basic education in smacktalk though.

When your gut instincts tell you something is wrong, trust them. When your heart tells you something is right, ignore it, check with your brain first. Accept nothing, challenge everything.

And yet these very statements from you is a form of taunting...
