Sir the assassination scam was proposed by the goon, ask her, it is her delusion, not mine.

30 ships? That's it?

It's.. quite shocking that nobody took advantage of the window of time between when the fleet left and when they met up with the Imperial Guard.

Because us 'cultists' might not be so stupid as to attack someone who got an official invitation, whether it was expected they'd use it or not.

As for other parties, dunno.

30 Minmatar ships are quite enough to handle anything the spineless slavery cultists might have thrown at them.

The slavery cultists are most bold when their target is unarmed, not when they can strike back. Imagine if you can Catpiiss Trash-Murky going anyplace without an enormous protection fleet while holed up in a capital coffin, err I mean ship.

I never called you 'cultists'

Not just the Amarr/loyalists, quite a large number of organizations/people would want any of the four heads of state dead.

Don't be so sensitive fam.

... uh, what? No. We extended an invitation. It was accepted. It's our duty to provide the utmost hospitality to our guest.

My point was that the war is a war in name only. Even our leaders are ignoring it. We should just end it already.

For the first time an invitation was accepted, for the first time. Also being courteous and open to discussion does not equal of ignoring it.

Well if it's using nuclear ammunition then technically you could say it already is by design.....

Having all four major heads of state together like this is reckless.

Is anybody else concerned that a Drifter successful strike could theoretically cripple most known space?..

You are certainly aware that "head of state" is mostly a ceremonial position, and that they simply cannot actually run entire nations single handedly? The nations will be as much as crippled as the Empire was after assassination of Jamyl - in a state of shock and disbelief, but everything didn't just grind to a halt.

So no, I am not concerned about Drifters crippling the known space.

Wow, we can't even enjoy a moment of hope in a dark universe without lobbing snark bombs and being general asshats to one another. And people wonder why I have such a low opinion of humanity in general and capsuleers in particular.

Regardless of what some of you might think we Matari are a peaceful people and good neighbors who respect diplomacy and the rule of law. Yes, we may sometimes act more out of passion than you might wish but, given our history, I think our actions are overall quite understandable.

Look, the imperials extended a diplomatic courtesy to the head of the Republic and he accepted. Let's just leave it at that until we know all the facts, shall we?

My reply was more intended to be a barbed retort to Matar Ronin, whom often uses the words 'slaver cultists' to describe us. Any offence to yourself was unintended, and a bonus. Don't be so sensitive 'fam'.

Just kidding.

Personally I'm more interested in what the man is wearing. I'm a big fan of suits, and I'm rather curious what, exactly, a Sanmatar of the Republic might wear to a formal outing.

Top and tails? Morning dress? Black tie? Number One full military dress? The options!

Hope springs eternal.

As long as we don't give in to hating the opponents, and just focus hate on the deplorable inhumane actions they inflict on other human beings, the option of peace and reconciliation exists.

Evil is something to pity, not to imitate.

I'm kind of hoping for full-on ceremonial robes, but I can understand if they're a little worried about him whacking someone with the Khumaak.

And no, that's not a threat of violence, the man's blind! That makes some people nervous.

I've heard that it would be something traditionally Brutor in style, but with a bit of the admiralty uniform running through, from a clan member who runs a clothier in the capital that's supposedly frequented by the Sanmatar. And yes, I did hear that a Khumaak would be involved Blink though I hear it would be much too ornate and expensive for that kind of action.

I'm really interested in the first address that he makes after coming back from the coronation. This definitely signals a new diplomatic strategy and he'll have to back it up with some sort of new rationale. Exciting times, family. Exciting times.
