I fight for the winner. I will never fight for country. The winner is the winner. What I am saying with is that at the moment I am fighting for the minmatar and gallente. Not because of their stupid beliefs but for the profit. If you fight for only one or two countries then your options are very limited., but if you fight for the winner such as I you will always have the freedom to make a lucrative profit. If the amarr start to win the war against the minmatar then i will start fighting for them. When i fight for the winner i am also fighting for isk. The winner is winning because of isk. They have money to buy the better mercs. The better mercs are the ones who get a better pay. Which means if you fight for the winners then you will always make more money. This may seem wrong but with more money means more power. All humans have their price. The President of the Caldari or gallente , The Empress of the Amarr, and A chieftain of the Minmatar can all be bribed. They can all be puppets of a true mercenary. |

what i just said means i fight not for profit, or wealth or power.
Those materialistic gains are empty and false i fight for the faith and hope of millions of the rightous and true people who make up the Holy True Empire.
((also dat empress is hot :) giggity! ))
You call it materialistic gain, I call it my pursuit of happiness and property.

"Bigger toys," in the case of consumer goods, typically produce a brief burst of pleasure before becoming the new "baseline"-- the consumer's level of satisfaction reverts to where it was before the purchase. The "want" that the purchase satisfied promptly finds a new target.
Materialism thereby becomes an exercise in always pursuing that next desire-- rather self-defeating, really.
Spoken of a true caldari. One with its drugs. |

The entities who hire us as their immortal toy soldiers generally don't give much of a hoot who fights for them, indifference toward who we work for is perfectly rational.
Mercenary work doesn't sound glamorous, but it's a surprising way to stand outside the usual factional quibbling. Get a contract, shoot some guns, man some turrets, make things blow up spectacularly, get paid, repeat. For mercenaries to get ideological is foolishness as it limits their potential employers, and risks making it personal with other mercs. A conscience is well and good, not shooting civilians, wounded enemies receiving quarter, that sort of thing. Still, I prefer to label acts like those as "good manners." Oh I am sure the empire do care who fights for them why else would they pay such exorbitant rates for mere mercs?
Simply because impressive mercs don't usually fight for the loosing amarrian cause. They're smart enough to fight for the victor in any war. |

I use to think that as well. Until i realized true faith is not through a organized religion controlling a empire |

Striking me from the book of records would be pointless. If concord can't stop a Mercenary, I doubt that the powers of the amarr could capture me and imprison me. |
