(Actually) Interesting Ideas for Ending the Amarr-Minmatar Conflict

Sweet Maker! Why there are so many idiots, who claim I said something I never said and thought something I never though about? Is there a circus in Hek, or someone forgot to lock asylum doors in Rens?

however the minmatar was/ are/ and will be Slaves, but slaves that fight continously, and they are Warriors for his Freedom, and gain it, and now considered all wellcome in our shinely Gallente empireā€¦ this is the reason why we give them support.

Looks like you said it.

Perhaps Amarr piracy is OK though? Is there a scripture somewhere that says that?

Ancestors choke, I canā€™t believe you are so dense!
Special for our special friends I explain: I said THAT about attacking civlian ships, I didnā€™t say anything about AMARR in particular.
I am sick of your stupidity. I NEVER SAID IT ABOUT AMARR. Arrendiotā€¦ Whomever gave you flying license shall be executed for incompetence. With that comprehension skill levels you wouldnā€™t graduate even kindergarten in the State.

are you caldary ? ā€¦ o yes you are.

No. I did. Specifically:

The Imperial Navy attacks independent, civilian transports and colonies in Republic space, well outside the warzones, for the express and singular purpose of taking slaves. Individuals you accept as ā€˜goodā€™ Minmatar and reliable sources, such as @Deitra_Vess can verify this, Iā€™m sure.

Moreover, Iā€™ve said this without insulting you, and without in any way attempting to belittle you. So: what do you call that?

Confirmed.

YOU. DID.
Not me.

Claiming I said something I didnā€™t say is an insult, especially if that contradicts what I was saying in other places or what I believe in.

I said that you identified those acts as piracy. Which you did. If they are piracy, then what does that make people who commit them?

But I never said I believed your words.
I said that act is just piracy. Go with it to MIO, and tell them that the Navy commits piracy. They will laugh at you, and for a reason.

So, then, are you calling Deitra a liar?

No. For Makerā€™s sake. I am tired of this.
If I am calling someone something, thatā€™s you. I am calling you an idiot.

Piracy vs privateeringā€¦ ones state sanctioned, still is piracy to the other side. Iā€™m more inclined to take Arrendisā€™ side on this one for obvious reasons. To me it is piracy.

Well, you donā€™t privateer on neutral vessels.

By the way, I agree with you about this. They will. For a reason. That reason is that theyā€™re already aware of it. The Imperial Navy knows itā€™s going on, and have not stopped it. This indicates that they are not opposed to the violation of Republic sovereignty and the Yulai treaties.

You do when your contract states you doā€¦ say, for taking slaves.

Of course you do. Privateering is a means of disrupting shipping. The vessel doesnā€™t need to be owned by the enemy military, it just needs to be owned or operated on behalf of commercial interests within that nation. The intent of ā€˜legitimateā€™ privateering is to put economic pressure on your enemy to sue for peaceā€”a peace, it should be noted, that technically already exists outside of the warzones, and which is not desired inside the warzones. Because once again: none of the Big Four actually want to win those wars. They just want them to keep going.

Thatā€™s why, even when one side or the other completely conquers a warzone, nobody in government pushes the losing side to cede their ā€˜claimā€™ to that space.

Well, in here nobody really privateers forā€¦ taking slaves. Because when you do - it wonā€™t matter if you are a pirate, a civilian, a neutral, a soldier, a citizen, a privateer, or an official - you will be treated the same. As a criminal. There is no such paper that would allow to take slaves in the State, even if they are enemies of the State.

The thing with the Empire - we are not enemies. We respect their laws about slavery in their territory, they respect our laws in our territory. With the Republic the situation is different: there is the war. And as much as their military force allows, they enforce their law on Republic territory where their military presence is strong enough for that: for example, area of local operation (raid).

However, taking non-combatants (and not criminals) as slaves is against their own laws. That is what I do know. No, really, if that would be allowed in their laws, they would quickly enslave whole population of all colonies in occupied systems in warzone. And since they did control the whole warzone at one point of time, with that assumption all Minmatar systems now would be completely empty, because Imperials would enslave everyone. Well, of course not completely empty - since there are resources and industrial power that have to be used and manned up, but most of civilian population would be ā€œharvestedā€ into the Empire.
