Spectacular event, Elsebeth. Thank you. ---

Nobody died. I’d mark that down as a success. ---

I’d like to thank everyone who asked good, solid questions about things tonight. There was a lot of thoughtful opinions offered, and I hope people can express more in the future. ---

Thanks for the almost 30 people who could show up on this short notice. I heard things I needed to hear and I feel I have a better understanding of the common ground and differences we have, making re-entry to the Republic space if not exactly easier, then at least, well, more informed. I will post some of my own remarks tomorrow. Right now I am _beat_. ---

Well, nothing got decided (this is a misconception a number of people apparently got), and I didn’t rightly expect any agreements to form either. Was nice to see so many people make the effort to come to the place in person. Would have been nice if some of those people would also respect traditions they claim to fight for. I am similarly mentally exhausted, maybe I can get something more coherent out after some rest. ---

> [@Teinyhr](#): > > Well, nothing got decided (this is a misconception a number of people apparently got), and I didn’t rightly expect any agreements to form either. This is true. To be clear, again, I did not and I _will_ not participate in gatherings like that to decide on a plan, to enforce a stance, or to stage a debate that can we “won”. Such things happen best in private. Big gatherings are for hearing and sharing. Then we take what we’ve learned, and we use it elsewhere. To decide wisely one must know what people think, but decisions are still made in the councils and by the chiefs and commanders they belong to. During to moot, several questions of “woud we willing to consider doing…” were asked (and answered). These were not plans yet, though; they were ideas (and information on what _is possible_). I appreciate everyone who put forward something to consider. There is no general Minmatar capsuleer council or coalition and as far as EM is considered, there _will not be_. We hear and share, but we make our own decisions. I am pretty sure U’K thinks the same way. ---

Feel free to send me a private line any time I’m connected (that goes for everyone else too). I have precious little time for face-to-face meetings, I’m afraid. There will probably be more of these gatherings, too. ---

What do you want ladies If that was your best behaviour, then that is pretty sad. Half the U’K members were drunk off their arses before the moot even started and once underway, couldn’t even respect the _concept_ of turns to speak let alone _traditions_. Not that you were the only ones having problems with that, mind you, but by far the worst offenders. So, what do I want? If you plan to attend in the future, don’t drink yourself comatose, and try to act like decent human beings at least for a couple of hours. ---

My thanks to Pol Macslieb and the Heska Clan for their sense of hospitality. The organization of such a meeting, and dealing with the strong and/or vocal opinions here and there, is no small feat. If my memories are correct, Lomong was expected to speak when the meeting was first announced. I was curious about her words, and hope to hear them next time. ---

> [@Sviruah](#): > > If my memories are correct, Lomong was expected to speak when the meeting was first announced. I was curious about her words, and hope to hear them next time. This is correct. Other duties kept her away, same as they kept away a lot of EM and pulled away Harkon in the end. These are the realities we live with. There will definitely be a next time, though. And some valuable things about applying a intra-clan process to a multi-national capsuleer audience were learned… ---
