You know I'm sure that's what people think about me. "What this dude is preaching against the amarr then suddenly starts to fight with them. He must be unstable." My mind changed to fight with the amarr not because of religious values but because of the fact that there is not a lot of talented mercs fighting for them. Its the main idea of supply and demand. The demand for mercs to fight for the empire is much higher then the supply at the moment. Which means I can earn a lot more isk even if i fight for the loosing side. So what I am saying is that your reasoning seems rather stagnate.
( I am trying to just add to the discussion I hope we can see some more events like caldari prime. Difficult to talk about stuff beside news ) |

You do not need news to have a discussion, there's plenty of discussion to be had about the different faiths in New Eden for instance. There's moral problems to argue, even announcements for upcoming events can spur some discussion. But just announcing: "Hey, I'm leaving now so, yeah, just thought you'd want to know, y'know, okay?", doesn't have much to discuss about. |

Rights and freedom are not anomalies, they are the very heart of every society and without rights or freedom we become anything but pawns to those who subjugate us. It was the Empire's arrogance that lead to humiliating loss to the Jove.
Even though the Empire may never collapse it will change if it is to have a place in this Modern Era. |

I thought that only True Amarrs were God's chosen people and everyone else was to be subjugate and be used to do the Empire's biding. But then again I am but a heathen. True Adamance, your faith is to be interpreted as you see fit. But do not expect me to stand idle while you try to impose it to others forcefully.
The Minmatar Republic is not being used in any way. If the Republic seeks help from the Federation why should it be denied? I should always advocate for freedom and liberty. The Minmatar a capable of deciding their nation's fate without requiring "a firm hand".

Even though the Empire may never collapse it will change if it is to have a place in this Modern Era. Let me clarify my terminology a little, soldier.
A "right," in this context, is not something granted by law, but by the universe. Legal rights do exist in every society (they are the latitude of action an individual legally possesses). A right in that context is reduced to "what you are allowed to do." It's the same for a freedom.
It is only the Gallente who regard certain rights as inherent, inviolable, and sacred. The idea that there are rights that can never be taken away-- that is a historical anomaly.
Is that the sort of right you were talking about? Otherwise, "rights" are as ubiquitous as "money," and their existence says about as much about the nature of a society (to wit, that it is a society with some minimal level of sophistication).
Most of us are relatively comfortable with the idea that rights are artifacts of the mind, something we cooked up for ourselves rather than anything "real." They can be broad, they can be narrow-- either way can work in the short term. The experiment is whether you can build a society to stand the test of ages by effectively making Freedom your god and Rights its divine agents, combining these into a national religion. |

Whilst certainly there is some ignorance and perhaps even corruption within the Federation, that isn't necessarily why people support it. Of course there are flaws - Every society has its flaws, yours included. That's the way of things.
The Federation is about people making their own way through life, free of significant state obligation or major religious influence. You can certainly choose to see it as an 'ignorant and corrupted society', as there's some truth in that, but it's hardly fair to dismiss the only truly free society in New Eden as simply that. I'd also like to know why you consider our values of freedom hypocritical. Do you mean to say we're figuratively slaves to the political system?
I do find much of the extremism that my fellow Gallenteans tend to exhibit rather tiresome though. Patriotic they may be, but blind verbal attacks against other empires only reinforces the sad perception of us as an 'ignorant' society. |

It might be so, our society does uphold certain rights and freedom above everything and will fight fiercely for them. For outsiders it might be seen as a far fetched ideal. For you it might be seen as an anomaly and as somewhat unnatural.

Frankly, I don't believe anything can withstand the test of time. not even the Federation, but its presence will remain. A thoughtful answer, Mr. Callazar.
I do understand where you might come to think I was criticizing the Gallentean approach as unnatural, but the real issue is more that it's aggressive. Like the Amarr, the Gallente seem to feel that they have found a great truth that they have a sacred duty to share with everyone.
Only, not everyone worships the god Freedom, and not everyone wants to. We have our own histories, faiths, and cultural outlooks on the universe that are inconsistent with Gallentean-style individualism. That there might be valid reasons for not wishing to embrace your faith is an understanding the Federation has been reluctant or unable to accept, and so our cultures inevitably clash.
As it is with the Amarr, faith calls you to spread your truth. As it is with the Amarr, the rest of us will fight to keep our own truths.
It is ironic, but your faith in the god Freedom makes you conquerors.
I do not blame the Gallente for their beliefs-- as with the Amarr, you largely seem to do what you think is right. It is just that, because my own society disagrees with you about what is right (or what rights are, as the case may be), we have chosen to resist.
As a defender of that civilization, it is my place and role to protect my own home and way of life with violence when need be. And it seems that there is indeed a need.
It is nothing personal, soldier; nor is it even really a criticism of the Gallentean path, but I cannot allow that path to be extended through my home. |

The conflict between the Federation and the Caldari State is much more complex and does require some thought. For both sides have reason to fight and to blame for the conflict escalation and attrition between both sides. I do not agree with some of the instances taken by my government towards Caldari State. However I cannot stand idle while it opposes a treat to the Federation and its citizens. I also would not describe my belief in what the Gallente society stands for as a faith, we don not worship Freedom, we admire and respect it. As soldiers, we must fight for what we believe in and defend it at all costs. Because war is what we know. Even with our differences I know when I meet a worthy adversary, if we meet in the battlefield I shall fight you with honour!

An honorable invitation, Mr. Callazar; I should like to be able to take you up on it.
Sadly, while we may, indeed meet, our senses of "honor" may differ somewhat. As a scout, a straight fight (with great respect to those who engage in them) is the very last thing I wish to become involved in. Trickery and foul play are my tools-- my work is more remote explosive traps and nova knives than what most soldiers think of as honorable warfare.
As a scout, my credo is simple: to do the job, and do it efficiently.
That being so, in the event that we do meet on the field, you would honor me most by fighting with all of your cunning and ingenuity. |

I too am a scout by trade, I am a hunter, tracking the enemy and infiltrating the enemy lines are my trades. If indeed we meet, we should play a game of cat and mouse, and we shall see which of us will become the other's prey. At least should be entertaining. In the end it seems that we are not that different my friend. |

Excellent... another soul reclaimed by God, blessings upon you brother. I too was once Minmatar but I am no longer that, I'm Ammatar serving the empire for good in the name of God.
May you fight beside us and our holy empress or you will rule the day you were born. |

I would rather be blind than some hedonistic Gallentean lap dog of the Senate spouting his hypocritical ideals of freedom and liberty. You My friend live by false ideals, such as that of being superior than others, this will be de down fall of the Empire because it is just a matter of time before others just like the Minmatar rise against the oppression of the Empire. You dare call members of the Federation dogs? When you and your Amarr counter parts are the ones that do the Empire's bidding without questioning it and do so happily. Members of the Empire are the true slaves. no better than dogs. The Empire has existed in more or less its current form for thousands of years, soldier. No other of the four great powers can say as much. If it were just a "matter of time," the time should long since have come and gone. Even the Minmatar uprising required not one, but two major outside actors to provide the opportunity: the Jove at Vak'Atioth and the Gallente who armed the Matari. The stability of the Empire is a great merit, but a sad truth for those who would prefer to evade its control: once under its sway, few cultures have pulled free. "Rights" and "freedoms" are historical anomalies, soldier. Humanity has spent most of its history under one autocratic system or another. It remains to be seen whether democracy is robust enough to withstand the trials of history, but Amarrian feudalism has already stood the test of time long enough that it is foolish to expect it to collapse under its own weight.
when it comes down to the basic principles of human behavior, humanity is actually meant to be controlled by something, weather it be believes, ideals, faiths, material possessions, or other ****.

The unkind treatment of slaves has been a crime since the later years of the reign of Emperor Heideran, after he was offered the Aldonis Statue for his role in galactic peacekeeping.
Nocturnal firstly is not old enough to have known a time where the Amarr did beat their slaves, secondly it is something to be ashamed of to find a religion or a cause to fight for. |

Brainwashing is the unfaithful's last line of defence before they accept that there are those who choose to believe for the sake of believing.
I would not try to convert you, I would seek to educate you, neither of which should generate hate unless you make that your business and thus condemn yourself of your own volition.
If you were to pull a weapon on me, It would not matter that I die, only that I am martyred in the service of the Lord. If it came to that on the battlefield you would have to tear open an iron shell to find me, a job I think you will find rather difficult alone.
As I have said. Fighting for my religion means I am to bring the tenets and aspects of God to the furthest reaches of the stars. Unending forgiveness to the innocent, righteous fury to traitors, heretics, and rebels, and the Light of justice and truth to all humankind.

I've been seeing a lot of anti-amarr statements here mainly from gallente mercs and i must say. If you are going to talk trash against the empire you must understand the conflict between the matari and the amarr is different compared to the blood bath of wars your kind fights against the caldari. It is different because we are not attacking because of hate. We are attacking truly because we are trying to teach the matari and make them more civilized race. If they desire to come to the side of the amarr then let it be. We will accept them not just kill them mercilessly because they are a different race.

Mr. Buelle:
With all respect to Tempar Crusader Ouryon, he does tend to draw the word "heretic" maybe a bit quickly. My impression is that he's spent pretty much all his life surrounded by other believers, so his first impulse upon encountering a blasphemous sort is to think, "heretic." After all, in a highly religious society such as the Empire, we heathens are relatively thin on the ground.
As for your god of ISK and war, I think-- I hope-- that what you're actually saying is that you see no real divinity in this world. There's a lot of despair, come to think of it, reflected even in the suggestion, half-joking or not, that we should worship these things that superficially define us.

It it not a false ideal to believe I am superior to you, though this is not how I see it. I just see myself as closer to God, no better or worse than the most pious saint, or debased sinner. We are all God's children. I thought that only True Amarrs were God's chosen people and everyone else was to be subjugate and be used to do the Empire's biding. But then again I am but a heathen. True Adamance, your faith is to be interpreted as you see fit. But do not expect me to stand idle while you try to impose it to others forcefully. The Minmatar Republic is not being used in any way. If the Republic seeks help from the Federation why should it be denied? I should always advocate for freedom and liberty. The Minmatar a capable of deciding their nation's fate without requiring "a firm hand".
The Matari never asked for help from the Federation when the Rebellion occured. The Federation has turned a blind eye to their people and to the Matari, and that means the social and political ladder.
Why don't you Gallente fish come forward and splash on my Platinum seat and admit that you use the Matari to fight your battle for you.
It is true that a fifth of the Matari reside in the Federation, is it not? Then it is known for a fact that most of your soldiers and Matari citizens not blood born Gallenteans.
This has to stop, heathen, admit it!

As for lacking reasoning, I don't see how I do. I understand the way our existence works. We fight with everything we got on the ground as to better our Governments or Corperations and for a little bit of ISK. We use the ISK we earn to enchance our abilities through skillbooks or to by a few exotic dancers and have a few beers. Our existence is only to fight, kill, live, then die, only to be reborn to repeat the process. For this, I reason that your God does not exist outside of a book that was written by a man from an age long past. |

This is an absolute. This man told me to my face that he blasphemes against my God. Heretic is an apt label. Templar Crusader, respectfully, I, too, have been known to make some pointed remarks about the Amarrian deity, or any thinking being that would create this universe.
This world we live in erodes innocence, sneers at high ideals, and is utterly indifferent to justice. While I see this universe as a thing of wonder and beauty, it is also so much a thing of pain for the sentient and, worse, sapient beings that dwell in it that any sapient god responsible for its creation would be a thing of horror.
The name of the Angel Cartel is, to my mind, less ironic than grimly appropriate: mercenary cutthroats, hijackers and drug smugglers would make apt messengers for the god of this world.
For all this, and despite all the dark or blasphemous things I may have to say about your god, or any god seeking the title of "creator," I cannot fairly be described as a heretic in your faith because my system of belief is entirely different from yours. I do not represent a corruption of your faith because I share somewhere between very few and absolutely none of its precepts.
That's what a heathen is, an outsider and unbeliever. We do not become heretics merely by making unflattering remarks about your faith, or there would be few who do not already believe who were capable of being saved. To think otherwise is to make no distinction between a Sani cultist and a Gallentean atheist; both will mock your faith, but only the Sani represents a corruption of it. The Gallentean's beliefs originate elsewhere entirely.

In fairness, of course, any creator god would have provided us ISK, housing, dropsuits, food, and many other things.
Oxygen, for example.
Also, murder, rapine, starvation, degenerative disease, resentment, disillusionment, betrayal by and of friends and loved ones, and the sensation of your nanites going haywire and starting to digest your organs for you after you've been downed with a 'Toxin' weapon. Oh, and boosters.The arbitrary and meaningless deaths of children. Also, self-serving pseudo-immortals like us.
Those last and a long list of related concepts are my quibble with any creator deity who claims to want and deserve our worship.
In any case, I'd rather think that the universe doesn't think of us at all than that some sapient being is behind all that life has to offer. |

Perhaps it does, but to those of pure Faith we are able to stand against such erosion, keeping the Darkness at bay with our Faith. There high ideals you speak of are not what we consider our Faith to be. Such ideals when compared to the existence of God are but mere component parts of what He represents. While those component parts can be worn away, those that stand together can resist this universes corruption.
We have a say that goes along the lines of "Surround yourself with the faithful, Stand together, for there is no strength like it under the heavens." - The Scriptures, Book of Missions 71:21
This is both a literal and metaphoric phrase. While the strong stand together in the light of the faith, the light of faith cannot stand alone. It finds strength from other believers, from other sources of Faith. The higher ideals our God comes to represent cannot be eroded by this galaxy as long as the Faithful hold God in their hearts. The collective whole of our Faith gives our ideals the strength to stand true against such eroding forces.
Indeed you do not. I suppose the title heretic is befitting more of the Sani Sabik than non believers. Though monotheism, I believe is unique to our people, though in this mans statements I see the ideals of a lone true God demeaned and perverted to represent mankind's Greed and violent nature.
This God of ISK as he calls it is a manifestation and perversion of what drives men and women, coupled with the pseudo religious belief in the power of as I have heard some call it "the Almighty ISK".
I believe the term heretic still applies to him, though not to someone like you. I find the Achruan sense of spirituality commendable, you are closer than many to God and you do not even know it.

I am, however, in no way authorized to apologize on behalf of my government. There was a lot more to it than a round of escalating retaliation, Mr. Buelle; that was really just the last dregs of a cup that had been bitter from the first sip.
Your people uplifted the Caldari, yes, providing hundreds of years of technological advancement in just a few decades, through an entity called the Cultural Deliverance Society (CDS). A proud people with an ancient culture who had survived and endured a harsh homeworld spent the next five hundred years living in the shadow of a coddled people born to a garden world. They've never really gotten over that.
What I was actually getting at, though, is that the Caldari and Gallentean cultures have never mixed well. The Caldari are private where the Gallente are exhibitionist, and practical and utilitarian where the Gallente are flashy and garish. This may partly be an outright reaction against Gallentean culture, but that ongoing rejection of all things Gallente would never have occurred had the rift not existed from the start.
Strip clubs do exist in the State, though it's not the sort of thing people will admit to attending, in public or otherwise. As with most such matters, they are kept out of sight, even if everybody knows about them. The difference is the flagrancy. Among the Caldari, putting one's decadence on display is bad form. |

No other of the four great powers can say as much. If it were just a "matter of time," the time should long since have come and gone. Even the Minmatar uprising required not one, but two major outside actors to provide the opportunity: the Jove at Vak'Atioth and the Gallente who armed the Matari. The stability of the Empire is a great merit, but a sad truth for those who would prefer to evade its control: once under its sway, few cultures have pulled free. "Rights" and "freedoms" are historical anomalies, soldier. Humanity has spent most of its history under one autocratic system or another. It remains to be seen whether democracy is robust enough to withstand the trials of history, but Amarrian feudalism has already stood the test of time long enough that it is foolish to expect it to collapse under its own weight. Rights and freedom are not anomalies, they are the very heart of every society and without rights or freedom we become anything but pawns to those who subjugate us. It was the Empire's arrogance that lead to humiliating loss to the Jove. Even though the Empire may never collapse it will change if it is to have a place in this Modern Era.
Actually you are incorrect, prior to the attack The Amarr were very ready & quite possibly could've won. As The Amarr weren't playing & brought they're best literally. However The Jove value information highly & got into The Amarr battle information regarding the attack The Jove found out every attack, who was with who, they're skill set, how they were squaded, reactions & first attack, each squads goal, & literally everything weeks if not months before the ones launching & doing the attack even got the plans & orders themselves The Jove prepared & the second The Amarr came it was a extremely well prepared planned trap/defence/counter-attack by The Jove leading to a very easy win for them & The Amarr basically enetered a fast agreement that they wouldn't attack The Jove & The Jove basically replied sure np whatever & went about they're business. To this date not 1 race has attacked The Jove yet. |

That and the scary doomsday beam that took out a battleship in one shot. No Empire had that capability at the time. If that is what they were willing to show, or at least had back then, then an attacker would have to consider what they have developed since.

The Federation is about people making their own way through life, free of significant state obligation or major religious influence. You can certainly choose to see it as an 'ignorant and corrupted society', as there's some truth in that, but it's hardly fair to dismiss the only truly free society in New Eden as simply that. I'd also like to know why you consider our values of freedom hypocritical. Do you mean to say we're figuratively slaves to the political system?
I do find much of the extremism that my fellow Gallenteans tend to exhibit rather tiresome though. Patriotic they may be, but blind verbal attacks against other empires only reinforces the sad perception of us as an 'ignorant' society.
To answer that 1 question as already spoken all governments if not realigions are somewhat corrupt or previously corrupt in history or both or off & on. But though The Gallente has multiple good points some of it you stated but some of it's higher up people are indeed corrupt & people if not both Gallente & Minmitar question if The Federation is just using The Minmitar ,most recently in news a certain Senator of Gallente proclaimed Minmitar possibly "untrustworthy" this relates to A Minmitar Brutus being in jail for quote by the Minmitar "defending himself" & killed multiple Gallente people The Federation wouldn't release him so minmitar showed up in Gallente space in Dregnaughts & a battle occured & I think theirs more about (this is if i'm accurate about this news) |

Actually you are incorrect, prior to the attack The Amarr were very ready & quite possibly could've won. As The Amarr weren't playing & brought they're best literally. However The Jove value information highly & got into The Amarr battle information regarding the attack The Jove found out every attack, who was with who, they're skill set, how they were squaded, reactions & first attack, each squads goal, & literally everything weeks if not months before the ones launching & doing the attack even got the plans & orders themselves The Jove prepared & the second The Amarr came it was a extremely well prepared planned trap/defence/counter-attack by The Jove leading to a very easy win for them & The Amarr basically enetered a fast agreement that they wouldn't attack The Jove & The Jove basically replied sure np whatever & went about they're business. To this date not 1 race has attacked The Jove yet.
That and the scary doomsday beam that took out a battleship in one shot. No Empire had that capability at the time. If that is what they were willing to show, or at least had back then, then an attacker would have to consider what they have developed since.
Actually it was actually quite into the battle when it happened & that ship had damage prior to getting hit by The Jove Mothership showing up to for the final part of The Jove's Plan basically to conclude the fight & Those Amarr ships had crazy fire apocolypse beams themselves they were the best Amarr had, a type prototype but because The Jove were ready & had gave it as well as the rest of The Amarr Fleet a Falcon Punch it was easy to conclude it with a Jove Mothership & it's purpose I assume was not only to conclude the fight but aspire a fear that The 4 Empires were inferior in technology to The Jove so no 1 would attack again or they did plan to they would think twice but in reality I assume if all 4 Empires united against The Jove, The Jove would be a bit.... worried |

Of course there are flaws - Every society has its flaws, yours included. That's the way of things.
The Federation is about people making their own way through life, free of significant state obligation or major religious influence. You can certainly choose to see it as an 'ignorant and corrupted society', as there's some truth in that, but it's hardly fair to dismiss the only truly free society in New Eden as simply that.

I'm afraid that's not quite correct.
The reason the Republic attacked was not because of the Brutor student (who was released without charge) but because of a racially motivated mass murderer called Gerne Broteau. He shot and killed a number of people at a Minmatar culture festival on Luminaire.
The Federation tried him. As a Gallente citizen committing crimes primarily against Gallente citizens in Gallente sovereign space, they believed they had every right to - and quite possibly they did. However, the Republic demanded custody of the man, and when he was not handed over they attacked with their dreadnoughts.
And as for the higher-ups being corrupt - As I said, the Federation is based on an ideal. That ideal is not a reality - we can only strive to be closer to that ideal. Nobody is truly perfect. As much as the Amarrians claim to be so, they aren't either. I would bet all of my ISK that there is significant corruption in the Empire. There is also corruption in the Caldari State, as evidenced by Tibus Heth.

I suspect the latter...

The Republic could have cared less about Gerne Broteau if he hadn't killed Karin Midular. She was a noble woman, and worthy of respect. As one who would see our races united peacefully I lament her loss.

Ah I recall you from my post about The Amarr Holy Scriptures in the Dust Fiction section Ubuu. I'll tell you once more the Minmitar were kept from.... being jerks you might say by Slaver Hounds & so what does that make you Ubuu? A fluffy kitty? Infact I can see you as a kitty now & a woman saying in baby talk "come here Ubuu, come here Ubuu, Kitty Kitty" your name does sound like a cat's name anyway. |

Also 1 can argue The Amarr & Minmitar conflict runs far deeper then the Gallente & Caldari conflict as it hits multiple areas where the Caldari & Gallente conflict hits less areas but both conflicts are still serious in they're own way. |

Also The Amarr under the rule of Empress Jamyl, released a couple million or so servants. After they did so the Caldari followed up on it on free will & set-up a "Former-Slave Training program" to help the former servants be ready to get jobs & etc. thus the servants returned to The Republic I assume. The Amarr also sent the Caldari a large care package under The Empress's rule & helped stabalize & aid The Caldari economy which helped aid the funding of things such as the Former-Slave Training program. Also during a incident (forgot the name began with a S I think) The Amarr sent the Gallente also ALOT of ISK to directly aid them. All under the rule of The Amarr Empress :) - the arguement the Amarr are all bad is incorrect. |
