Arkena Wyrnspire Fatal Absolution 19090	Posted - 2014.11.14 18:58:00 - [1] - Quote Riruodo wrote: Mens Reppola is a hero and I would gladly devote myself to serving Ishukone under his leadership. Seriously, in Templar One he is one of the few that actively tries to do what is right to protect those under his watch and the universe at large, even at great personal sacrifice. Ishukone are cool folks. It's a shame the rest of the State prosecute them for it. sir RAVEN WING wrote: Well we seem to be peaceful in areas designed for loyalists verbally attacking each other's faction... yet seem so violent in areas made for other reasons... Then again... I just have to wait for Sgt. Kirk and Ark to get here... They always are fun to argue with... and beating them 2v1 in an argument will be very satisfying... I must now wait... I'm sorry, but even if you knew your lore, you wouldn't win. Why? It's an internet argument. Internet arguments are never won. You have long since made your choice. What you make now is a mistake.

I'd rather win a match fairly than have some random idiots on the other team screw over any chance of their resistance. You have long since made your choice. What you make now is a mistake.

Arkena Wyrnspire Fatal Absolution 19231	Posted - 2014.11.21 17:07:00 - [3] - Quote True Adamance wrote: Moreover even if an argument could be started there is not way to morally justify the Rouvenor Bombings, Tovil Toba's blunder of epic proportions...... nor to for the Gallente and their Admiral Noir and murderous Orbital Bombardments. All these things were done by unjust men who knew not the Faith nor God. Only actions wrought in His name can truly be considered morally just. Of course there are a dozen atrocities, on either side, that can't be justified, as much as the most outspoken supporters would wish them to be. War is a bloody business, and with every calamity people become only more inclined to hate. We look back at the happenings of centuries past and point fingers, but I highly doubt it was as simple an affair as many claim it to have been. While I find that our philosophies have something in common - the belief that war is a consequence of misguided people - claiming your own acts of viciousness are 'morally just' because of your belief in the unproveable existence of a god thoroughly repulses me. How simple it must be, to be secure in your zealotry and the fervent belief that some ephemeral entity will reward you for your actions. You have long since made your choice. What you make now is a mistake. Currently challenging CCP Rattati for the queef
Arkena Wyrnspire Fatal Absolution 19350	Posted - 2014.11.24 21:12:00 - [4] - Quote True Adamance wrote: Is that not the fundamental purpose of faith? The process of affirming and verifying that which cannot be otherwise perceived. Affirming, perhaps, verifying, certainly not. Your faith is blind. A terrible fate.

Arkena Wyrnspire Fatal Absolution 19364	Posted - 2014.11.24 22:56:00 - [5] - Quote It is hardly undeniable. It does not exist. There, I have denied it. It does not matter how many people insist on something, it does not make it true if it is not so. There is no evidence of god, only a blind insistence by the ignorant.

Arkena Wyrnspire Fatal Absolution 19387	Posted - 2014.11.25 22:51:00 - [6] - Quote Gravity can be tested. Gravity can be proved. Gravity can be defined. God cannot. All the basic tenets of science which brought humanity so far are cast away in religious fervour. You have long since made your choice. What you make now is a mistake. Glorious pink victory has been achieved.
Arkena Wyrnspire Fatal Absolution 19398	Posted - 2014.11.26 16:54:00 - [7] - Quote True Adamance wrote: At one time Gravity could not be tested. At one time Gravity could not be proven. At one time Gravity could not be defined. Are you suggesting that it did not fundamentally exist during the aforementioned times? Because the development of processes that could measure and define this force, called scientific process, are of the same ilk, constantly developing, being iterated on, as are the social and theological tenets of the Faith. I would like to know at what point in human history gravity could not be observed. When our ancestors dropped a ball, did it hover until someone decided that there should be gravity? It is a basic principle of science that one should have at least some evidence for a theory before proposing it. You have none, yet you devote yourselves to it regardless. There is a significant difference accepting that not everything can yet be explained, and insisting that something you have not explained exists. The former is a part of science, the latter is not. You speak to me of your Empire's scientific progress, but I would note that some of your greatest scientists did not believe in your faith. You have long since made your choice.

Arkena Wyrnspire Fatal Absolution 19401	Posted - 2014.11.26 17:33:00 - [8] - Quote Faith pretends to explain it. I do not disregard the possibility of a divine entity existing. I do, however, object to the rigid obsession the Amarrians have. Based on nothing but irrational convictions, they have butchered and enslaved for centuries. Worlds subjugated, cultures crushed, and people exterminated. It goes against everything I believe in, and principles of logic and reason have never supported them. The existence of a divine entity does not mandate the Amarrian's religious crusades. You have long since made your choice. What you make now is a mistake. Glorious pink victory has been achieved.
Arkena Wyrnspire Fatal Absolution 19405	Posted - 2014.11.26 19:01:00 - [9] - Quote The Gallente aren't trying to control the Caldari. They're trying to ensure that their cities aren't razed and their worlds aren't auctioned off. Not only is it falsely accusatory, but it's also rather hypocritical of you to point fingers at the Federation for destroying cultures. Let's look at the Intaki example. When the Intaki were discovered, the Gallente respected their culture, assisted them technologically, and ultimately the Intaki evolved naturally into their own entity - the Intaki Assembly, an entity which remains distinct to this day. The Caldari took zero interest in the Intaki, and focused on developing their secret colonies. When the Caldari encountered the Achura while building these colonies, they crushed them and instated Caldari rule. Some time later, the Intaki homeworld found itself being auctioned by the Caldari. The Caldari decry the Gallenteans for holding Caldari Prime (which is primarily inhabited by ethnic Gallente), complain about the loss of their culture, how precious their homeworld is, and then they go ahead and literally sell the Intaki homeworld for industry, a world steeped in culture and the birthplace of a people. Frankly, the war and secession never should have happened. They wouldn't have happened, either, except people were quite ludicrously provocative. In case you ever find yourself a diplomat, let me advise you that in the event of a solid ally getting upset with you for secretly building a military, the correct way of dealing with that ally is not to immediately break off all alliances with them and then blow up one of their cities. If the Gallente were truly bent on conquering the Caldari, there is little you could do to stop them. The Caldari State is under half the size of the Federation - if the Federation chose to throw everything into crushing the Caldari, it would happen. It would be bloody in the extreme, but it would happen. Similarly, if the Amarr Empire threw everything into assaulting the Federation, the Federation would almost certainly lose. Again, it would be bloody in the extreme, but in the end that is how it would play out. Nobody wants to go into a full scale war, though, exactly because of how insanely costly it would be. All the empires would make any conquest of them a long and grinding war at best. The Amarr have ridiculously large fleets and are the largest group in the cluster. The Caldari have a highly militarised state where everyone in their small population is required to serve. The Gallente have the strongest economy in New Eden, and the Minmatar have a habit of coming back to bite their conquerors as well as being far more closely allied with the Federation than the Amarr are allied with the Caldari. If it came down to it, though, and the empires all went full military, the Amarr would win. Not that there'd be many people left, after that. As any war drags on, sides get more desperate and more brutalities happen. Given the obscene amount of damage modern weaponry can do, I would be unsurprised to see doomsday weapons deployed against planetary populations. The Caldari have already almost tried it. As for why I fight the Caldari as well as the Amarr: https://forums.dust514.com/default.aspx?g=posts&m=2458442#post2458442 You have long since made your choice. What you make now is a mistake.

Arkena Wyrnspire Fatal Absolution 19412	Posted - 2014.11.26 19:53:00 - [10] - Quote Paraphrasing a lot, and incorrectly. So you say that you are better than us. How? Quote: Well at least we didn't tear down their cultural building to replace with facilities, we may not have been the best to them, but we have been better than you. This is exactly what you did. Even monasteries were razed if they were on a convenient mining site. How is this better than our respectful treatment of the Intaki, exactly? By the way, your extremist group was your government for a while. It's not really much good saying that they weren't representative of you, because they most certainly were. You have long since made your choice. What you make now is a mistake. Glorious pink victory has been achieved.
