Vlad Cettes is a Sani Sabik. He is in AM.
Ninnuma is a former member of True Slave Foundations, Sansha loyalists. She is in AM.
AM tried to recruit Evi Polevhia, who is Sansha.
AM has previously recruited edeity and Holy Amarrian Battlemonks, who are Sani Sabik.
I redeem them when Im officially member. Im sure they renounce their evil deeds done in past.
You are an idiot.
None of them will change who they are even one iota… just as you won’t.
And you are wench.
Boy, have I got a stunnin’ revelation for you!
Vlad Cetes, he’s Sani.
There’s logs that A-M tried t’ recruit Sani.
Need a socket wrench?
So now boil back down to the heart and soul of the matter; is AM recruiting to harm the empire?
Regaurdless of what you believe or my abilities you have to ultimately ask yourself if the logs from Evi means I’m lying or made a mistake?
Either way what’s done is done.
I mean, outright offering Sansha the ability to experiment on Imperial loyalists is one hell of a mistake. It’s on the order of “woops, I slipped and fell right on that dick, honest”.
Well that communication is complicated but I have no intention of skullduggery as someone put it.
I’m sure that statement’ll be a great comfort to many, my lord.
If I can say, though, the overall theme that’s emerging here seems to be that you and the cardinal left the Society because you thought we were being over-scrupulous in the face of danger: hesitant, fussy, anxious … prissy.
That’s maybe understandable. Scruples can be inconvenient. Ruthlessness sometimes feels like the only way things that need to happen, will happen. And it’s satisfying, too, you know, in a dark way?
Only, what that really means is that those of us who think in sharp and ruthless ways are useful for ruthless solutions to ruthless problems. But, that’s not every problem. And someone who applies the wrong tool to a problem will come out looking like a fool-- and likely is one. I might be a fool like that, someone too comfortable as a weapon to see when weapons aren’t useful.
But, here’s the thing that makes that maybe more okay for me, my lord: I’m just a servant. My ruthlessness won’t hurt anyone unless I’m put to that task, so as long as I’m faithful to my duty my personal foolishness isn’t much of an issue. At worst, I’m an imp whispering in the ear of someone too wise to listen to me.
It seems as though you found Kahah, and your discussion with His Majesty, inspirational in a certain way, my lord. But I wonder: did you learn the right lessons from that time? Derided as ineffective, did you perhaps decide that, to be effective, you can’t afford to be good?
But to achieve what you want, and with no more cautious superior to hold your tether, can you and the cardinal really afford not to be?
I’m not going to deny that however I have set up corp by laws, to curb mine or anyones enthusiasm taking on more then they should. While I do have final say its not a button I intend to press readily.
Hence the bylaws.
That I can’t afford to be Passive.
Many peoples comments reflected that afterword I did nothing. While I don’t move for them I was under great pressure from a number of people to reform AM right after the battle in Kahah. I waited both out of respect for Luna as I didn’t want to leave her in a lurch and because I felt it was too soon. I waited hoping it wasn’t needed as SFRIM as others have pointed out did an amazing job providing off doctrine support. When Thebeka spooled up I waited still.
Finally, an incident occurred that you are aware of and my perspective shifted. How long was I willing to wait? Maybe I should have waited longer? Hindsight is 20/20 but suddenly people stepped out of the shadows offering aid.
If you, or the Directrix, or even PIE admiralty want to have a discussion about plans I’d be more then happy to have one. As Sir Avarr as stated in another thread, I always took constructive criticism in stride.
When you want to talk my office is always open.
Uh okay hang on wait who?
(If you can say, my lord?)
I mean, usually people stepping out of the shadows offering aid to people who badly want it-- I mean the image is a little fraught with overtones of, well … corruption?
Old friends who I had drinks with musing over events when I mentioned AM they offered help. It was unexpected.
Okay, a little less operatic, a little more “real-world,” still … worryingly vague as to exactly who you now owe very large favors to?
I don’t owe anyone, @Roland_Cassidy of Ronin Wind, for instance, was very interested.
So, all this mystery is really just over who your first few recruits were, my lord?
(I generally like Mr. Cassidy. We have a bit in common. He did end up joining you, right?)
Partially, others have yet to join they just have other commitments.
And yes he did.
With the Sansha, it’s really more skull-buggery.
Yer gonna make me quote myself, ain’cha? OK THEN!
Really, Vaari, you gotta get new material. If you’re gonna be a fabricator-general, you gotta learn to make shite up.
Well, he’s supposed to be the “Lord Ecumenical Patrirach-Fabricator”, rather than a mere fabricator-general.
If he’s supposed to be making shite up religiously, he needs to be even better at spinning complete tripe.
Well, yes. But you have to use the proper titles, otherwise he won’t listen to you. Because you impugn his glory. Or something.
