This is to scream our views at each other until the Min/Grey/Amarr make us take a small break so they can get more popcorn. (Please don't ask us to stop arguing about this topic as I'm simply trying to make a place for it to go instead of clogging up other threads.) GO!

I like Cal everything. Especially light blue Cal Heavies, which I find adorable.
Gal, well... uhm... I like their scouts, but from certain angles their head looks too small. their assaults are cool too, but I don't like any of their color schemes yet.
Gal Assaults are kind of cool though in that they look like swimmers, because of their really broad shoulders. That's kind of sexy.
I think all of the male mercs look way too bulky. but I've only made one male merc for fun (amarr).
that's my view.

It's kind of hard to pick a side because both sides have a lot of good things about them, and a lot of bad things too. Or at least that's the impression I got from reading Templar One.
Yes, I've read Templar One.
No, that doesn't mean I know a lot about Eve. For a book that claims to bridge the link between Eve Online and Dust 514, it offers surprisingly little lore.
But at least I now know the meaning behind 514, and a possible meaning for why Legion is named Legion.

When in that context, the Gallente... actually don't seem much more perverted. I'm sure they already do that...

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.
He is a true hero.

There literally is nothing to debate.
The Amarr know we are the chosen of God and the rightful inheritors of all beneath the heavens...but this Caldari-Gallente conflict is a complete mess of pretext with the occasional scrap of historiographical fact.

but no, he does not. He (and Ishukone) only do so because without pretending to be supportive of the state they would easily be bought out and destroyed by the other mega corporations. It's a conflicting position because he wants to see the best for Caldari, but also for everyone too.
so it's a dangerous road he walks (and one that has already cost him his family and closest friends). But Ishukone lead the research into clone research to try to save the universe from an impending doom, and Ishukone has poured tons of R &D into creating a vaccine to the slavery drug that the Amarr have developed as well. Not to mention that in game, they are at the head of development in the fields of nanohives and medicine.

He does support the state, just not under it's current head director.
It also cost former Ishukone CEO Otro Gariushi his life as well.
((However OOC Otro was at best a pirate and a mass murderer. His final wish to give the false Minmatar leader , Meatlu Shakor, the Insorum antidote catalysed the almost apocalyptic invasion of the Amarr Empire which cost trillions their lives for the sake of old enmity over a people that did not even identify with the Matari at the time))

It's a shame the rest of the State prosecute them for it.

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.

There is one word nobody seems to care about (as to be expected by the masses brainwashed by the corporate dominators). Democracy!
I wonder if the corporations where so effective at "producing" their human material that you are unable to see the difference between a privately owned institution and one elected by the public. You only exist because you are cheaper to produce than robots. Rise, noble Caldari people and shake off the shackles of the corporations that own you! They may take our lives... but they'll never take ... our freedooooom!

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.

Great RPing there man
As a Gallente I believe youre entitled to your beliefs man, and I am the last one to deny the outrageous war-crimes of the government or the pretty fassades and rotten core of the Crystal Boulevard.
But there is one reason, why the Gallente culture will outshine the other empires: The ability to adapt new ideas, beliefs, systems and cultures more easily and integrate them into our own. The Amarr will stagnate, the Caldari will liberate themselves from dictatorship, the Minmatar ... well ... they are on the right track ;) The ability to change, learn, integrate versus dogma and exclusion and the inhumanity of efficiency. There is no chance you will last unchanged. As for the stupid government idiots in the seats atm? Next election they will go down (and I didnt vote them anyway)!

There is no chance you will last unchanged. As for the stupid government idiots in the seats atm? Next election they will go down (and I didnt vote them anyway)!
By stagnate do you mean rapidly adapt to and harness the potency of new and improved military technologies in the form of the Strategic Destroyer?
That same destroyer your own empire failed miserably in the aquistion of research materials during its developmental stages. God be good to your people if it should be so even the false and backwards Shakorite regime of the Matari did a better job that your own scientists.... This is somewhat of an embarrassment for the Federation is it not?
However besides God's own omnipotence the Amarrian spirit is perhaps the most adamantine and enduring force under the heavens, and given time all shall see the merits of a united and whole cluster under the rule of God's chosen.

Only between their respective militias and only on the forums and in the space taverns.
That being said, there would still be nothing to really argue about. Amarr believe fervently in their god and the rights that it gives them, and the Minmatar basically say "Not while we're standing" and resist. That's basically it. It's like trying to fend off unwanted advances from a drunk guy who keeps saying "It'll be alright, I'm fine".
The Minmatar had been used as slaves for centuries, and had finally decided that they had had enough. They rose up and rebelled, in a move that still surprises the Amarrian Citizens and Military to this day (Propaganda had painted them as "Poor wenches in need of assistance (but at the same time a source of manpower lol)). The citizens were surprised by their strength, and is being forced to re-evaluate them from their previous assumptions.
The Military is still trying to figure out how the hell we managed to pull off the things we did, such as when we trashed most of the 7th fleet in The Bleak Lands.
They fight to reclaim their slaves, which they believe is a mercy mission (To convert the poor people who know no better) and the Minmatar are fighting to show them they won't be controlled and that they are at least equal to them (The Amarr has always considered them Inferior).
What I always find interesting to note is how similar the two races are in relation to familial ties.
True Amarr place a VERY high respect on family bonds, considering them sacred and unbreakable. At the same time, the Minmatar believe strongly in their respective clans. Almost makes me think that the Amarr were very much like the Minmatar long ago, and that they rose above clans with religion, and came to where they are today. Hence why they feel such a need to bring the Minmatar up to their level glory through the same means.

Great RPing there man As a Gallente I believe you're entitled to your beliefs man, and I am the last one to deny the outrageous war-crimes of the government or the pretty facades and rotten core of the Crystal Boulevard.

(It's probably going to be one soon :p) No, that one reason will be the ball and chain of the Gallente. Why? It is because you are too diverse with too many people populating your worlds, it will be like gathering 2,000 people with very little in common (Being they are all gallente) and telling them "Adapt! Change!" Yes, some will, but there will be a large number (Hell, in the federation 2% is a large number) that will refuse (In this case I'd look at the Intaki((Raven also happens to be part Intaki in IGS)) as for the others...
The Caldari: We would change only when needed and would do so easily, but with some grumbles... (:P)
The Amarr: They won't change. Maybe if something big happened (Like slavery being outlawed, or the amarrian faith) Other than that I can not see them changing much.
The Minmatar: The quickest in my eyes to change when change is needed, but I know too little about them (other than their rebellion) to predict what would happen.

Hey, Capsuleers did most of the work for you too
EVElopedia wrote:
Despite the destruction of their defensive cortex, the 7th Fleet maintained an aggressive posture, thanks partly to loyalist capsuleer forces serving as guards for military complexes. Thanks to the efforts of cloaked scouts, they were able to ambush the Defiants during a resupply mission in Kurniainen, destroying two capital ships, one battleship, eight cruisers, and four frigate class hulls.
The victory was short lived, however, as the Defiants mounted a massive counter offensive. In several coordinated strikes, the Defiants destroyed eight key military installations throughout the Sasen constellation.
The 7th Fleet quickly recovered, thanks in part to their capsuleer allies, and stepped up their assaults on the Defiants. It seemed they would wind up the victors, when Admiral Saracen was suddenly recalled to the Throne Worlds on the order of Chamberlain Karsoth. Reports soon emerged that the fleet had clashed with local Holders, some of them turning violent. Saracen additionally had apparently been acting independently from Imperial Navy orders.
...
Shortly after, the remnants of the 7th Fleet was transferred to Aridia to defend against possible Serpentis incursions.The Fleet was bolstered with the remnants of the Kador Family fleet, following the latter's confiscation by Empress Jamyl I.
Spin it how you want, but the fight over The Bleak Lands was overall a major loss for the Amarr Navy. You lost most of the fleet AND one of your Admirals.

"Several Small Victories"
Also: You need to reinforce your ground teams. I've only seen scattered resistance from the Amarr this morning. We now hold the Majority in all systems, with two areas over 60%.
Can't say too much about the space game though. Dotlan isn't looking pretty.

Faith is not blind it is fundamentally encompassing of all things. It looks to all things and seeks only to illuminate and correct that which is incorrect.
The mere act of affirming God through prayer, action, and scripture is to verify his existence for all mankind be they of the Faith or not. The presence of God in New Eden is undeniable even in the Gallentean Federation where many billions worship god through off shoots of the Faith.

Indeed. Man is ignorant. All men are so by design, to be anything but would be Godly and no man can be alike to one as God. As I have said the purpose of Faith is the journey or spiritual pilgrimage seeking affirmation of what cannot be percieved.
Existence has been variously defined as, but more so in common usage, as the world one is aware or conscious of, and that which persists independent of one's absence. Other definitions describe it as everything that 'is', or more simply, everything. Other's would additionally define existence as concept that people unanimously accept to be truth even beyond their cognitive capacity.
In many instances one cannot physically see forces like gravity, potential energies, etc but they can see the effects these forces have on corporeal things, additionally many simply cannot explain or understand the fundamental forces that exist in their universe taking them on "truth" from those who believe they can.
Universally a Gallentean might accept the concept of gravity on the word of a scientist, having seen specific instances of its effects but not be able to explain why this force exists, what causes the phenomenon, or be able to explain it to another individual with any degree of authority, yet gravity is considered to "exist" is it not?
It exists. It always existed before your ancestors of my ancestors found the knowledge and scientific process to identify and categorise it.
It is in this way that the Amarr accept the realities of the divine forces that guide our people and in the concept of God, as best we can describe it, in the same way as other might accept the other unseen forces that comprise the universe around us.
It could be argued by the teaching of the theological council that New Eden itself is manifest of God's own will, the ascension of His chosen children is nothing but His mandate and providence, and that our transcendent cause and way of life is result of His influence and an example of the divine forces at work.

Arkena do not patronise me. My cultures scientific advancements are as notable if not more so that your Federations. The Amarr have recently proven thus putting your people to shame in the development of Tech 3 Destroyers.
You assume scientific reason and Faith cannot exist side by side. That is a fallacy. They most certainly can as man seeks to understand and quantify the processes of existence, for the sake of better understanding how God lavished his miracles upon us.
God is simply ineffable. What He is cannot yet be adequately described by language, try as we might to achieve such loft goals, in order to properly describe God language must evolve further in the same way our understanding of the universe does.

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.

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. Yet you fight us? Accuse us too! I do agree that destroying cultures (much like the Gallente try to do at times) is wrong and I see the Caldari and Amarr's alliance a fragile one. We destroy you, amarr turn on us, then it will become quantity vs quality. Hopefully quality will win there. I'd agree on a alliance with the federation to make sure they don't try to convert every single person ever to live, but I'd be wary of the federation due to it having a good place to backstab the Caldari.
I used to wish that the Gallente would accept the fact we don't want you controlling us... that was replaced by pure hatred long ago, a hatred of your people fueled by your people's actions. Well things can't be changed by one person on the ground...

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 make us look the villains, and we may look like that on the surface just as you look the heroes on the surface, but there is more than that. ((I don't know how that came out... :/)) The Caldari would survive an attack, just as any empire with us 'immortals' would, until the loyalists like us are gone there will be war. You (again) say the extremist group is us as a whole, that is wrong, we are flawed, but we are different than you. ((Okay things are coming out the wrong way)) Uh... I'll be back soon... ((I'm going to find what a certain person said)) also please stop saying "The Caldari were smaller so they destroyed a city and began war." ((paraphrasing abit))

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.

As I understand it the Sukuivestaa Megacorporation rather brutally annexed the Achuran home world......
Moreover Arkena if Denak were still with us, God preserve that man, I doubt he would agree with you all that much regarding the treatment of the Intaki people.
I would hazard to suggest that it is a testament to your lack of respectful treatment of the Matari that organisations like the Intaki Syndicate, Intaki Liberation Front, and groups like I-RED in the region are attempting to stabilise Placid and prevent the home world of one of your primary bloodlines from being designated Low Security Space and one of the regions CONCORD allows capsuleers to fight over.
That is poor treatment indeed for people you claim to hold as equals.

Gods, spirits, winds, and the Allfather will no true sons or daughters of the State step forward to adequately represent us in this debate? (And I use the term debate more loosely than a rifter bolt, believe me you.) The tact and decorum in here is hopelessly disgusting in a way I'm sure only a deteis and a federation politician can manage. I on the other hand have no qualms about being direct if only to prove that not all my countrymen are incompetent.
Ehm... And no offense to the Templar but this does seem outside of his forte.
The folly of my fellow Caldari henceforth has been to attempt to justify are actions to you in relation to Federation politics. I don't expect you to be able to think beyond your station and understand the occupation of foreign planets from a Caldari standpoint. First of all, your claim that the State simply conquered the Achura homeworld after a brutal occupation was entirely without merit. Though Gallente textbooks may paint a different story, history forgets that the Achura were once a forgotten fragment of the Gallente homogeneity just as the Caldari once where. When we chose to break free form the Gallente, so too did the Achura.
They were a meek people, utterly defensive against your rampant government trying to forcibly bind the universe to your law. The Caldari offered them hope as our protectorate, offering necessary protection and economic aid at the cost of their own sovereignty. What you may perceive as occupation were brave patriots keeping the watch for our own kindred spirits, and in time Achura became a closely trusted and valued member of the Caldari State. They were never our prisoners, they were our brothers.
As for the occupation of the Intaki homeworld, you fail to understand certain vital aspects about the State administration. First of all, the Intaki culture was never in danger of being suppressed by State control. The Intaki Ida and the Caldari Way bare more in common than the Intaki Assembly and the Gallente Federation share among themselves. The State when out of our way following the war to grant Intaki sympathizers their own land within the State to practice their beliefs as a member of the Caldari. My father, rest his soul, sough to their sovereignty as a paramilitary during the Waschi Uprising. The Intaki were conquered as a military target out of necessity to liberate our own homeworld, a key stepping stone between us and Luminaire to reclaim what was rightfully our planet.
The supposed evil of auctioning off Intaki Prime was nothing other than a well established method of organizing a stable government in Intaki. When CONCORD slated Intaki as a limited engagement zone, the Syndicate became little more than a lawless territory turned into a glassed hellscape between our warring factions. Organizing proper relief efforts for the Intaki people required more than the Provist lead military could accomplish, especially in a time of war. In a corporation led state, auctioning off the planet was not as simple as "buying the Intaki out" as your government may claim. Once a planet is under corporation control, the corporate administration can get to work on forming a rule of law.
Ishukone spending untold sums to claim ownership of Intaki was not a sign of greed, but infinite compassion and willingness to claim the responsibility of Intaki citizens. After a preliminary corporate dictatorship, I have little doubt that in peacetime once order was established and infrastructure maintained, the system would begin to gravitate to a meritocractic institution that valued the Intaki as equals just as the Achura.
This is all to say nothing of the Dragonaur mercenaries and the role they played in erecting a necessary invasion force. For all the discontent generated in the wake of the fascist policies Heth put in place, the Provists were no doubt effective in their ability to mobilize a nation.
