I fail to see your point. I do not respect you (IC not at all OCC sure) but I am not mistreating you......
Example of Holders exploiting their slaves and subjects are records of public history with those corrupt Holders being subject to slavery themselves or the rulings of the Speakers of Truth.....Articio Kor Azor is a prime example of this, who mended his ways post ruling, and has since gone on to work closely with the development of the Anmatar.
As for the breeding of Kamieras...well I cannot say that is not unkind, but love is irrelevant in the service of God, something must be done, and siring such strong and noble warriors is a higher honour than many realise.
However in Amarrian society no low born citizens marry into the upper echelon, such is the bane of being nobility and holding together the greatest empire in existence. Marriage between Minmatar and Amarr is not common, but not uncommon though. The low born like myself are very luck. I will get to marry who I choose one day....

See and that is the ignorance of the Gallente. Faith, cultural advancement, scientific advancement are not mutually exclusive. All in balance creates the Empire we have today.
While your people were scrabbling around forming the pitiful excuse of an empire you control today the Amarr were conquerors like no others.

To go beyond that you would need to make explanations for the Caldari and Amarr much more lengthy.
When you start to get more into the story the lines between right and wrong start to blur, but even then the Caldari and Amarr are still seen as somewhat bad guys.
I know I was originally going to choose Amarr, my thinking was, "These guys are like Crusaders in space, on a mission from the divine... o.O". Then I read they enslaved people and I said "**** that, I hate social injustice like that.".
Then I read about the Caldari and thought "Wow, space Communists! Cool!", BUT!- I then did EXTRA research online and realized that they weren't communists at all and thought "These guys aren't even trying to really help people, they are just what would happen if Japan was administered by Wal-Mart and they all decided to look like grey communists".
The CaldarI and Amarr just aren't appealing unless you want to be an antagonist, or possibly if you want to be a reformer, IE an Amarr that wants to free the slaves or a Caldari that wants more social liberties.
But let me ask you True, how would you have written the descriptions?
You see, True, it's people like this who make all your efforts null. "No matter how you mask it"? We're not trying to mask anything. The Amarr don't just go an enslave anyone willy nilly. All the races they enslave are primitive and aggressive. That does not exclude the Minmatar, who are perhaps the most violent culture New Eden has ever seen. When Amarr "enslaves" them (really, they are guiding them as a parent figure) they transform them into more peaceful human beings that bring more stability to New Eden. Oh and yeah, Amarr are all about peace and stability among New Eden, that is the whole premise of their religion and it is also evident by how they are watching over the other three empires. And you're right, Caldari aren't space communists. In fact, they are space capitalists which is the EXACT opposite. And where do you get that they are trying to hate people? Oh and guess what? Amarr does free all their slaves, that is part of their culture, it is not the acts of reformists. Oh and guess what? Caldari do have social liberties, it is part of their culture, it is not the acts of reformists. Meanwhile, you have the Minmatar who as already stated are perhaps the most brutal culture New Eden has ever seen and you have the Gallente who have a sincere lack of respect for human life the main thing keeping their economy afloat is the drug cartel, they treat their POW's worse than anything you've heard of on Earth, and they willingly accept their citizens as "collateral damage" if it means capturing the enemy. I 'm a mercenary, I care nothing for politics or religion I fight for the empires that give me the gear and money I need |

Ignorance? When have I displayed ignorance, I am the first amongst many to acknowledge the issues the unenlightened bring to bare against my people, an the first to explain them in the terms of your people.
Ignorance is not discussing, it is refusing to see that which in front of you while denying its existence.
You last comment sounds like something our people preach to the unenlightened. Wake up, your Federations Imperial dreams are so great in scale they rival that of the Amarr.

Again not so bad, eventually exposure to one cultural group or another rubs off one people (we are now exception IRL) most Minmatar slaves spend their lives being educated this way, much like many free Minmatar come to the opposite conclusion. Such is just how you were raised. There are no lies in this education, in the same manner Amarr are educated so too are the slaves. Do you wish to mention that there are example of Minmatar returning to the Republic, holding their ceremonies because they continue to embrace the faith being abused and killed for their choices? We'll the slaves might be treated "well" but they are treated well in the same respect as toy poodles and ponies are treated well. There owners can punish them as they see fit, within Amarrian law, and can even change their names if they want. They separate families and limit the exposure of people to certain groups in an attempt of de facto breeding. They are property. You make it sound like they are Janissaries, but at least Janissaries could hold high positions in politics and were paid, they were also allowed to marry freely into the families of high and low classes. No they are not like indentured servants, indentured servants were under contracts or they had fallen into debt with the understanding of what could happen. I fail to see your point. I do not respect you (IC not at all OCC sure) but I am not mistreating you...... Example of Holders exploiting their slaves and subjects are records of public history with those corrupt Holders being subject to slavery themselves or the rulings of the Speakers of Truth.....Articio Kor Azor is a prime example of this, who mended his ways post ruling, and has since gone on to work closely with the development of the Anmatar. As for the breeding of Kamieras...well I cannot say that is not unkind, but love is irrelevant in the service of God, something must be done, and siring such strong and noble warriors is a higher honour than many realise. However in Amarrian society no low born citizens marry into the upper echelon, such is the bane of being nobility and holding together the greatest empire in existence. Marriage between Minmatar and Amarr is not common, but not uncommon though. The low born like myself are very luck. I will get to marry who I choose one day.... I know I keep referencing Janissaries and they sound like they are from EVE but they are actually a slave warrior class of the long gone Ottoman Empire, similar to Kaimeras.

I'm not nerd enough to know whether to take offense to this. Orkz are pretty cool and really are the Minmatar of 40k..... angry, creative, tribal, bastards that can make anything out of trash. I would suspect they smell the same too. It is a fair comparison. Unthinking horde with no honor.

They used to enslave absolutely everyone they came across that didn't immediately accept their religion, often times not even asking them if they would before beginning the process of enslavement. Not only that, they aren't required to free their slaves. They're encouraged to release their slaves when they feel that their slaves have properly embraced the faith, but they get to decide that, plus the slaves are forcefully converted, too. Most slaves are never emancipated unless they act like loyal dogs to the Amarr faith. Other than the Amarr's views on slavery and their dogmatic approach to religion, they're not so bad, though.
Its not nearly as terrible as it sounds. Slaves are cared for and treated better than most of those in Gallentean slums could ever hope for, they are educated in the ways of the Amarr, which is not such a bad thing, considering most lessons would be on Amarrian culture and history, it also makes sense because no racial groups educations systems are impartial.

That's probably not true.....a hulking mass of unwashed sweat, fungus, and gutz is likely to be a very potent scent...... but in the billions.....that would be an abomination.

The Jove have few numbers and the Amarrians perceived them as weak and easily conquerable. You also forgot to mention how badly they failed That doesnt matter at all. They saw the chance to conquer a society and that's that. I really hate it when people try to be apologetics about this ****. Accept it that no faction is good. oh and that thing about POWs, I suggest reading the chronicals regarding each races method of torture and then kindly stfu whoever said the POW comment. There are no good guys in New Eden, accept it you idiots. |
