Intergalactic Summit

I offer to surrender 1000 of the Saisio slaves to TomHorn in exchange for the cancellation of all war declarations.

That's a really cheap price Nauplius. You should at least offer a number of slaves with market value equal to the cost of the Citadel you hope to defend.

This is reasonable and good starting point, for negotiations . Wouldn't it not be better to try and resolve this without the loss of any innocent civilians.

Back up John , you want to try and resolve this without the loss of any lives don't you?

Mr. Horn, the only way this ends with no loss of life is if Nauplius repents.

Second to that is if he surrenders all slaves, ceases operations, and deconstructs the facility.

If you somehow manage that, I'd be impressed.

Save for that resolution, well, we all know how this will end.

I haven't made a calculation, but from visual observation and looking at some numbers, I'm quite sure it is solidly in medium orbit.An endless cycle of construction and decommissioning may be preferable to an endless cycle of construction and destruction, though?

If it helps...if TomHorn succeeds in negotiating a solution that would be agreeable to all involved parties, then I offer to take care of the transport and delivery of any surrendered slaves from the Achuran Missionary Citadel to a location agreed upon by the "Liberal extremists, Amarr loyalists, and Minmatar freedom fighters."

Either one just encourages him to do it again. You're giving him no reason not to continue his pattern of murder-for-attention. Congratulations, you're enablers. And really, given the lengths to which people go to justify being his enablers while simultaneously patting themselves on the back, it's clearly a co-dependent relationship.

"I have made you all react to me! I am so important!" meets "We stopped him again! Yay, something we did matters!"

And then what? Wait a month until he buys a new one? No no! Now we're convincing him to just take it down! He can go buy more slaves and set up shop in Dodixie next! And then everyone can run over there and spend a week getting all outraged. While the thing anchors, you can make your dire declarations of not tolerating his crap anymore. You can run up your utterly meaningless war declarations that won't take effect in time for the 15-minute vulnerability timer, so he's perfectly safe for a week. Longer, if he's smart and schedules the vulnerability timer for around 0700 or so. After all, which among you is going to alarm-clock that, since we can all see your activity patterns?

So he'll keep you chasing your own tails, and soaking up the attention, and you can keep on posturing until he's 'defeated' by agreeing to pull down his citadel. And then as soon as the war-decs expire, he sets it up again and goes to buy new slaves.

But keep on congratulating yourselves for doing nothing but encouraging him. After all, you wouldn't want to not be able to posture and preen right alongside him, right?

Tell you what: why don't you guys streamline the process, and just hang onto the slaves for him so you can trade them back once the citadel's down. You don't have to tell anyone. And at least then you're limiting the risk to one group of slaves, instead of cycling through fifty times that number.

Ah the better solution?

Now expand this concept to the entire cluster. The lack of meaning on all this will present itself, this is only a play with everybody playing their role, but a few know they´re only actors.

Sure they may go back and play their part, but once you know you´re an actor in a play, you don´t look at the characters the same way.

Specially when you know they believe in it.

She doesn´t want to give a fireworks show to the people of Saisio. Let her bee.

Did we muster enough people to blow the thing up?
