Another faction,is it bcause your coverment say "you are caldari,you have to fight against gallente" or you have to bcause you feel its your holy mission to do so.So what is your reason to fight another faction? And another question do you ever fight to help another faction, i mean gallente helping minmatar or ammarian helping caldari faction? And last question do you ever fight against your own faction or against your alliance faction? |

Changing your views hmm? That's a good thing from your original fanaticism at least.
And to answer your question, we are mercenaries, the very definition means that we fight for our personal interests and gain. But me? I fight the person who stand in the way of my obkectives, simple as that |

The Gallente is the embodiment of the Freedom, for they are the last Democracy in New Eden.
I do help the Minmatar against the Amarr. It is not right that they are enslaved.
Do I fight against my Faction? No. I would never turn against my Homeland, unless they lost all meaning, all purpose. If they abandoned the concept of Freedom, then I would leave. Leave for the dark corners of space, for the last remaining bits of sanity have been cornered there. |

I fight the Gallente because their hypocrisy and sanctimonious attitudes bother me too no end and that is not even mentioning their history of unwarranted aggression against the Caldari in the name of "freedom". As for the Amarr and Minmatar I have no strong feelings towards them either way but still respect them, though I would warn the Minmatar to stay wary in their dealings with the Gallente since as soon as they decide they don't like what you are doing they will attack you in the name of liberating your people. After all the Caldari and Gallente were allies until they decided they did not like our culture. |

I'll never be a wanted man in my home world for sticking it to the Amarr, so naturally I will aid Minmatar when they have their skirmishes. In the abstract, I'm inclined to help the Gallente in feud with the Caldari, but the Caldari have very sweet dropships so I do business with them as I train to pilot one of those bad boys.
As for individual corporations, it's too much work for me to track which are incorporated where. Not too entirely sure if those climbers running them are particularly concerned about the interests of their own people, so I have no particular loyalty to any of them. Bouncing from one corporate interest to another with each battle doesn't bother me much. |

the only reason i fight you treacherous Caldari, is because of the multitude, and magnitude of your terrorist attacks agaisnt the Gallente. I'm inspired by Orto Garushi (leader of ishukone corporation) because he wanted to end the war, but you evil Caldari killed him because he wasn't part of the dictatorship. I have always helped the Minmatar, and to prove my willingness to help them, i have skilled into their assault suits just so they know, i have their backs. And i will continue to fight the Amar for the fact that slavery is wrong, Amar if you would just give up slavery, and your constant obsession over relegion, i believe we could become great allies (possibly). |

That would destroy our very way of life. We are God's chosen people, and his divine mandate to us was to bring his word to the furthest stars or New Eden.
And the Lord spoke, and said, Lo, my people, Witness, for I have made the worlds of Heaven; And these worlds I give to you, My Chosen, So Amarr shall rule the worlds of the Heavens.
None shall stand higher than you save the Sefrim, Who serve Me as others shall serve you, For all things under Me serve one higher; So Amarr shall rule the worlds of the Heavens.
As Garrulor rules the skies; as Frisceas rules the sea; As Emperor rules Holder; as Holder rules Serf; Yet all under Heaven serve Me; So shall Amarr rule the worlds of the Heavens. - The Scriptures, Book of Reclaiming 3.19 - 3.21
Slavery is a test. It tests the character of a people to see if they are worthy of becoming the chosen as well.
"Only through many hardships Is a man stripped to his very foundations And in such a state Devoid of distractions Is his soul free to soar And in this He is closest to God" - The Scriptures, Book of Missions 42:5 |

In our histories the Amarrian people suffered greatly during their time of Athra. As such we passed our divine test of Faith and God proclaimed us his Chosen.
"For forty millennia we struggled in the desert. Time of infinity to grief our misgivings. Time of eternity to stray without God's guidance. One can repent and pray for forgiveness. But true meekness is one that has penetrated and laid its roots in the very heart of a man. The stars above will not weep for us parting. The air we breathe won't notice our disappearance. The dirt of the earth will embrace our decadence.v Only in God can we thrive and grow. Only in God." - The Scriptures, Prophet Kuria 4:23
Our time suffering has passed, and we proved our Faith. Now we seek to ensure that the other peoples of New Eden know what it is to toil in God's name.
"Only through many hardships Is a man stripped to his very foundations And in such a state Devoid of distractions Is his soul free to soar And in this He is closest to God" - The Scriptures, Book of Missions 42:5
This is a truth, and that is why we take slaves. We seek to bring them closer to God so that they too may know of His love for them. |

The Jove to my knowledge do not have a unified Faith. So little is known about them that we can only speculate on what their culture may have been like.
The Amarrians have warred and sought to teach the unenlightened the ways for God for many millienia, our Faith has brought us this far, it is not weak, it is not lacking. It is cemented in the knowledge that we have an immortal destiny to achieve. It is the peoples of Athra who will Reclaim the star and unite humanity.
As to why our God has not aided us... all I can say is that it is not his way to do such things. We Amarr are his divine instruments in this universe, we Templars are his Avenging Angels, our citizens His flock, our ships his divine will. However as you say we have not yet achieved the destiny he set before us. You must remember that flesh is fallible, but Faith is not. |

A little more detailed, several thousand years ago the first Amarrians were exiled from the continent of Assimia on Athra, now known as Amarr Prime. They were sent to a harsh island where they suffered many hardships and labors. And from the Udorians and Khanid of Athra to the races of distant stars such as the Ni-Kunni, all Amarrian bloodlines can be traced back to slavery. I wouldn't exactly call our practice hypocritical. Difficult to explain? Yes, but at least we don't have problems of prejudice in our society. |

Our faith is not some means to control the masses it is our strength of will, and what unifies us as a collective people. |

We Amarrians may look down upon those who do not have faith, but we do not hold prejudice against those within our society for we are all His chosen ones and serve a purpose.
According to the news report linked above, Federation citizens of Minmatar descent are being heavily discriminated. Earlier a Federation citizen of Brutor descent was attacked by fellow citizens and ended up killing them in self defense, yet he was immediately arrested without question and taken to the Black Eagles for interrogation. I could bring up more accounts of such prejudice within their society, but I think you get the idea. |

You see, I do understand your reasons. But I also disagree. It is simply incomprehensible to enslave someone with the justification of religious belief. It is appalling. Absolutely appalling.
Of course, you will point out how the "Minmatar are being discriminated against" in Gallentean society. This discrimination is inherently wrong, if this in in fact true. These are just reports, not facts.
Of course, they are being investigated as we speak. Whether it be the Free Market at work, such as Private Businesses stating who they want in or out of their restaurants, or in fact Racial Discrimination, we will get to the bottom of this. And if it is racism, I assure you that it will be dealt with swiftly and surely. |

Gallente dislike for the Minmatar as people is more than just reports, Xavier. It has been ongoing since the two races met.
Gallente look the other way on freed Minmatar.
Gallente gunman kills 59 Minmatar at cultural festival, including the Ray of Matar.
Gallenteans inflict violence on Minmatar immigrants.
Gallenteans attack Brutor student, in self defense he is arrested and sent to the Black Eagles.
The Gallente may pride themselves as the heroes of freedom and equality, but when it comes to accepting other races into their society their true colors shine. And sure the Federation may release an official statement condemning these actions, but it does change the fact that there is a culture of violence and prejudice seeded within your borders. |

We Amarr are his diving instruments under the heavens. Justice will be done unto you, but not by His divinity, but by His mandate.
"So the Lord sent forth the Chosen, to bring forth the light of faith And those who embrace his love Shall be saved by his grace For we are his shepherds in the darkness His Angels of Mercy. But those who turn away from his light, And reject his true word Shall be struck down by his wrath For we are his retribution incarnate His Angels of Vengeance" - The Scriptures, Book of Reclaiming 4:45 |

Vherokior, but my family was into piracy. I didn't care for that way of life and decided to separate myself from that. Hence changing my name to something you would never associate with a native of Matar. |

Then I pity your tribe.
However and this will be of more interest to you. We have had recent increases from 17%-19% in the number of Vherikior converts at the three year mark.

And believe it or not, the Amarr like the way they live because they have been living like that for centuries, as have the Gallente with their freedom ideals. Going around shouting Gallente superiority makes you look rude and ignorant of all other cultures.
And while you may not have directly said that Mr. Xavier, you certainly act and talk like that. Heck, I have my own goals of having an independent Intaki and believe in my own version of Ida, you don't see me blabbering about it to every possible venue. |

I don't give two flying ***** about your culture or creed. What it comes down to is supplies.
If a mercenary is an avid fan of the Minmatar Logi and the SMG, despite the fact that they are Caldari, they should fight for the Minmatar so they can suck up and get their favorite gear.
It's as simple as that. We are mercenaries people time to start thinking like one and stop playing politician. |

I do question that faith, Ryeon. The statement that "you are gullible if you believe in God" is my opinion, is all. And it may be arrogant, but it is my opinion that sufficient evidence must be presented before adequately believing in something. I apologize if I had offended you, it was not my intention. I was only stating my beliefs.

What?
Alright, I will break down that statement.
Denak Kalamari wrote: The problem might be that Mr. Xavier here is generalizing all religions into the monotheistic "oppressive" demographic,
No. Never had I said this, never had I even thought about this. How did you even come up with this?
Denak Kalamari wrote:there are as many ways to believe in divine power as there are people in New Eden.

There are many ways to worship different entities.

Did I ever say The Gallente Federation is superior? No, I have not, but you are welcome to scour through all the words I have spoken to find a instance where I have.
Please do understand that I am not an ambassador of the Federation. Whatever I say is not necessarily an overview of how all Gallenteans think. I from from the Federation, so it would be wise to assume I hold a majority of their beliefs, but again, I am not speaking for the Federation.

I fight the Ammar so that fewer of my fellow Minmatar will have to die in this horrible war. Every Ammarian I kill now is one less who will be there to shoot my brethren. The sooner it is over, the sooner we can become the great civilization we were meant to be.
Truth is I will work for anyone and any side as long as it either hurts the Ammar war effort, I don't consider it immoral, or doesn't help the Ammar directly. I have no qualms with the Ammar people, just the fanatics and slavers who claim they kill and enslave us in the name of a "benevolent" god. |

2 things:
1. The original war your government started when you invaded Minmatar space hundreds of years ago.
2. Our current war was started by the Elders a group you spend those hundreds of years trying to make us forget. They had no official support from our government at any time, in fact we did not even know they existed. They were only aided by a miniscule amount of our captains who went rogue and have all long since died in the war or been detained.

It's as simple as that. We are mercenaries people time to start thinking like one and stop playing politician. Um ... soldier? Respectfully, I favor Caldari nova knives, which work best with Matari scout gear and pair nicely with Matari remote explosives and Caldari AV grenades. Gallentean assault rifles also suit me rather well. At this rate, I should be at war with myself.
Perhaps it would be better to just take advantage of New Eden's open markets and use the liquid assets we earn to acquire such gear as we choose?

Or sneering, perhaps.
I do not share the Amarrian faith, but I do recognize that the Amarr have built several thousand years of relatively stable civilization on "gullibility." It's a pretty impressive feat, and if the Gallentean civiliation does not survive to match it, it will likely be because you and those like you were insufficiently persuasive in convincing the Amarr that they've been had, at least to the point where they decide that scrambler rifles are not the right tool for doing their god's work.
Sneering does not tend to persuade people that you are right, only that you are a self-satisfied fool who deserves to suffer. That this last is a common Caldari view of the Gallente in general probably doesn't help, of course. |
