Trust me.

If you see me in Gallente FW, I'm either AFKing or griefing.

That doesn't make me a traitor of the State does it?

It's either that, or I am forced to fight against the State.

My CEO me participate in GalFW, as our new players want to fight for the Federation for some reason.

I do not like it, but I have no choice.

That Jacques Cayton II is a spy!

Great fights yesterday o/

Have a like +1

Until the State rewards my loyalty adequately, I will remain loyal to my squad and to whatever my corporation at the time may be. All of the races have flaws, regardless, so I feel no definitive moral pull towards one direction. I guess grinding together with someone that fights for Gallente is bad, too, since you're helping them raise the funds to stomp harder in Factional Warfare later? Is it the same with donations? Your comrade has no ISK, so you save him from dieing a dozen times in militia gear and now you're a traitor for helping the enemy? I do not define who I play with based on where their allegiance lies. There is little privilege in doing so and little point.

How do you define a traitor, Jacques? If you hire a mercenary and he fights for you one day, then the enemy the next, is he a traitor? I am not a traitor until I swear my allegiance, everlasting, to the State. Until then, like most others, I am a mercenary for hire. My lack of loyalty in your eyes is none of my concern. I usually take contracts for Caldari and Amarr because I prefer them; I am not a traitor for playing the other side if my allegiance to the State was never secured for more than a contract at a time.

The State needs players that are worth a damn, even if they occasionally fight for the other side. Marking mercenaries as traitors and going on a witch hunt does naught but scare them away. What is your goal? Do you want an army of loyal mice or an army of men?

Also, FW is flawed as all hell. When its myriad of issues get fixed and the payouts for fighting a losing battle are enough to eat at least a bowl of gruel a day, I'll consider being loyal.

While this thread stands I will throw every one of my many dozens of mercs into sabotaging the Caldari war effort from the inside.

Will you leave it standing as a monument to your ego or will you work to keep the lives of your comrades safe?

Damn I may have to log back into Dust all this state pride is giving me a chub.. You fucks better put your skill we're your RP is especially being Caldari, our meritocracy rule will not stand for week citizens....

Very well. I'll make sure that those in matches I throw know who is responsible.

I am Amarr. And I'm not retracting my support for your people, I've directly threatened to infiltrate your forces and do as much damage as I can...

And your response was more or less "I dare you".

Well, we'll see how that works out.
