Pitying the personal consequences of a shallow wish for self-glorification is not hate. I reserve hatred for those that deserve it, where their delusions lead to the harming of loyal and devout followers of God.
Or perhaps I should view Lord Vaari of a square meter of Sosan VII as, as a bemusing source of amusement, as other appear to do?
Thereās nothing amusing about him. Just another annoying idiot I wish would go away.
You think you have a reason.
Iād like to have a conversation about it which has yet to happen, you and PIE made up your mind on it without even giving me or anyone the courtesy of that.
What I do want is people to stop plinking that string like they think it will rush me to an early grave or that it hurts somehow. Iām more annoyed you think it does something then the act of doing. sometimes you can be quite childish and vindictive for no reason as stated.
There no talking to somebody who hires blooders or offers PIE prisoners to ā ā ā ā ā ā ā Sansha. None!
Once again, youāre confusing āno reasonā with āa reason [you] donāt agree with.ā
Not even to verify? I suppose that why you arenāt chief of intel.
Iām not the only one who disagrees.
A) Still doesnāt make it not a reason.
B) Yes, Iām sure all the members of the Aegis Militia also disagree. You got me.
You heard it here first, PIE does NOT validate Intel it is not a reason.
See how obnoxious that kind of logic is? Thatās you, strumming away. Plink Plink Plink Plink
Every time we talk.
Plink
Plink
Plink
Did you take a poll on the whole cluster?
It didnāt appear that there was any real logic there. Now you have a reason why you think that. Itās just not a good one.
Right. Iām not going to overlook your deeds. Actions have consequences. You keep getting upset about the consequences for your actions yet you keep doing the same sorts of things.
Did you? Who else disagrees? You said there were people.
I know, I was acting like you.
Which back to the topic at hand you never asked for so how do you know?
Never asked you too.
Of course they do, you just arenāt the law enforcement on this topic. Even if you were what have I done that you have evidence for thatās so illegal? What law have I broken?
All you hold sway of is your opinion and you need to learn that is not who you are just a thing you carry till you find a better one.
Here is the cute part those of you who plink on about overlookā¦
The āleakā you base this on, I havenāt done anything mentioned in it yet. When I have, as you were.
No, you werenāt, really. I think you just completely missed the point, honestly.
Because thereās always a reason. You donāt form your opinions randomly, right?
Well, besides your piracy in the warzone and Providence, you mean?
What about hiring Vlad Cettes and expressing regret at being unable to recruit Nauplius?
Remember: Nobody cares what CONCORD thinks.
Even if we completely write that one off, youāve done more than enough else. Once again, piracy, Cettes, attemp at Nauplius.
I suppose thatās why your alliance can never agree on who your enemy is.
PIE immediately contacted your diplomat and cardinal. It was made clear that it was more important to Aegis Militia that they tell us that weāre terrible and that only Aegis Militia and their band of filth are capable of doing what needs to be done.
Peddle your wares elsewhere, just because we donāt need to publicly share logs every time a pitiful excuse for an Amarr fills our comms with self-aggrandizing garbage doesnāt mean it hasnāt happened.
The āleakā you base this on, I havenāt done anything mentioned in it yet. When I have, as you were.
You are completely impotent and wholly incapable of following through on your threats. It does not excuse from making them.
Iām not going to claim to speak for everyone but you have several defeats that prove my point one of which I watched personally on the morning of the great comms blackout.
If I threaten you, Iāll make it clear, till then donāt mistake comm banter for a threat.
Iām guessing leading a band of flailing lunatics to the slaughter has made you quite adept at watching defeat. The lessons learned no doubt strengthened your ability to kill corvettes on the undock and unattended engineering facilities.
You do threaten me. The duplicitous, rancid drivel you pour all over the public communications claiming to be representative of anything Amarr threatens us. The continued lies, threats, back-peddling and finger pointing while using the title of a Lord of the Khanid Kingdom threatens our unity.
Your continued plunge into the darkness of your own making, of your own self-glorification, will serve Amarr only when you have completed the task and removed yourself entirely. Until then, we can do nothing but ward the faithful away from your retched heresies. Lest someone else start to believe that you leave the wolves tend to the flock.
If this is true then they would have found a way to be even more awful. Anyone who would even think to offer that monster employment deserves to burn in hell alongside him.
Maybe I should get you a dictionary for your birthday? Not only is that nothing to do with the word but itās not on you to declare it.
Good day admiral.
āFor whosoever shall lay his life down for his Lord
He shall be taken into the arms of God
And forever consecrated will he be
But whosoever shall turn from the light
And run in fear
The Lord shall abandon him
And forever forsaken will he beā
- The Scriptures, Amarr Askura 2:3
Since you have insisted on feigning ignorance of the claims, I will remind you here. I will paraphrase for brevity. ((This was an OOC message with strict instructions that it contained the IC message, but not the prose))
Cardinal Graelyn openly admitted that you were hiring ādespicable but deniable piratesā and āpeople we would hate even more, if possibleā. He said that there was no better metaphor for your intentions than trying to use Nauplius through whatever terrible methods may exist. That you believed the strength of the Faithful is woefully inadequate.
On the topic of being threatened with public announcement that you attempted to hire Sansha, you admitted outright to me that while the details in the message posted may have been inaccurate, you un-apologetically used promises to try and engage the services of Sansha loyalists.
It is NOT up to me to decide what is heresy. It is certainly up to me to not stand idly by while you try to pass heresy off as anything but.
You have without a shadow of a doubt, turned away from the light. You have run in fear. You feared that relying on the strength of the faithful was not enough. You sought solace in the perceived strength of known heretics. I tried to offer personal counsel on the matter, yet you would not waiver on your path.
Reflect on your actions, Lord Crases. Only you can correct your path before it is too late. Perhaps it already is. I was clearly unable to show you the light, but I wonāt let you veil the truth here in the hopes of misleading more faithful.
Admiral Ascentior,
hon. Fabricator-General of the Imperial Navy,
Paladin Commander of the Excubitoris Chapter of the Sacred Throne Order
((Sorry this is OOC, clarifying an OOC conversation to collaborate roleplay that isnāt happening clearly.))
And if and when that is a crime for me to do please cite the law in the Kingdom or Concord. Till then you can only not like it and demand I keep my people of questionable repute out of dinner parties.
Grumble about it if you must, bar me from your little events if you will Iām a big man I can accept that but donāt claim to have the ability to speak as if you are the council, the heirs, or the throne. You are a privateer corporation paid by the empire to enforce. You can have your opinion but Iāll thank you very kindly to recognize that as it is.
Iām glad we agree.
Heracy is, for instance, corrupting or subverting the faith. Iām just hiring some rough dudes as Val would put it to get a job done. Iām not advocating a single character in scripture be altered nor questioning the authority of the Amarr in question. I hold those things sacred and I wish all the faithful well.
I havenāt stopped following the faith what I have done is opened my options to turn the weapons of the faiths enemies on themselves. Find it distasteful if you must but its a strategy, not a dogma.
No, I stopped counting on admirals to think small fleets of very specific ships can solve all problems.
I havenāt privately spoken in depth to anyone save Admiral Gaven since I retook command of AM and publicly only to everyone else. You have not sent me a letter and Iāve confirmed with my logs we havenāt spoken. I already take enough from people what I do, please do not claim we have spoken as if we have.
If we have spoken Iād have told you I took counsel with people of the faith I trust sound boarding my thoughts.
I have indulged in three campaigns with great success aimed at defending those who ask and holding others accountable. I do not publish them here due to the endless gossip it would cause to no good end. As such I have little to no intention to publicize my actions just so your paladins have something to gossip about instead of making their patrol rounds.
In time Iād have hoped youād see the value. Maybe someday you will but I hold no hope for it.
Perhaps you should take it as a sign of the times. 10 year veteran of the Amarr faith has to resort to unconventional methods because the Wardens of Providence or the Paladins of PIE either canāt manage their space according to the faith they proclaim or field a fleet to hold imperial space respectively.
Maybe Samaria would still be the paragon you held her too, Maybe Thebeka would have played out differently. Maybe we (the faithful as a whole) could have saved the Empress from Drifters or stopped any number of crisis.
I know this, SEFRIM is carrying you. Our enemies are laughing and innocent people clusterwide die every day that you could save but donāt or wonāt.
Iām incompetent? Iād rather be a failure for trying then a cold and aloft for not bothering.
I wish no Faithful ill will, but you lotā¦ wake up.
Walk with God Admiral.
Maybe after 10 years of talking about faith, you should go and achieve something. Then you can talk to us of your efforts. You were impotent in The Bleaks, you were incompetent in Thebeka, now youāve moved on to being inconsequential in Providence.
SFRIM / LUMEN are a great example of what happens when you work with the faithful. PIE has never been luckier or stronger than to have such a reliable ally who are going from strength to strength. Iām not sure how you consider having strong, faithful allies to be a weakness all of a sudden.
((Graelyn asked us to imagine it in character))
(( I just would like to say, oocly for my private opinion, that these guys have been busting ass to try to do right by RP community and give folks with less savory Back stories who never get a shot to join in the fun a shot at being part of the fray. And taking something that someone posted when he was just running ideas past someone and carrying on with them when they clearly have said since that they didnāt want that to represent their actions seems pretty awful. This is the kind of trash that keeps me from really jumping into the RP game. The inability for folks to let people attempt to change direction, the unnecessary flaming. I often get the feeling that itās all this strange club where you donāt get to play unless youāre a member, but god help you if you arenāt accepted as a member and instead go do your own thing.
Thats my two cents. Sorry for the break in character, but FFS could we stop being enormous members of the male anatomy for a minute and let these guys play, trust me Iāve read a fair amount of tripe posted in IGS my own included and Iāve yet to see a Hemingway amongst any of usā¦ ))
You sound quite upset that he is willing to actually use someone with skills and is a competent professional. Did your superiors not teach you to not blabber about in public or slander otherās good name?
