Off-Topic Thread vol. 2

Well, I just read it. (But I don’t believe in my own existence so maybe your statement still holds?)

In any case, it’s good to see you back, even briefly, and even if it’s to poke fun at my friends and allies.

Well, I was being a little bit facetious, Aria. I know you read everything.

Not everything. If it’s Arrendis I start skimming.

Sanity: important.

They added a permanent mute function since I last came here! Do you know how much more readable the IGS is when I can’t see posts from what’s-their-face and you-know-the-one?

Hee. Well, we’re still maybe mostly terrible people but we do sometimes get quality-of-life improvements.

The “and I am,” is apparently silent in modern standard Gallente?

I see “humour” is still an elective in the State Protectorate

And “Sophistry” mandatory at UCaille.

I wouldn’t know, I studied at CAS.

It’s more an extra-curricular activity in most of the State. Some Executive-caste training programs might cover it.

Is it mandatory curriculum for the FDU?

Of course it is, you’ve seen how the FDU fight

So it’s psychological survival training, you’re saying?

Hm. Practical. Also self-aware.

Ah, this is just like the old days!

Haha-slightly-ouch.

(Apparently I haven’t changed so much as all that. Nice that it can at least express in an aspect you apparently missed instead of something … worse.)

And as for the Turnur incident, well… I do recall saying “we’ve worked out how to cannibalize stars and this will end poorly” last time I was here, but I didn’t expect to be proven right this fast, or this disastrously. I wish I’d been wrong, quite honestly. Also, how hideously typical of the Amarr to claim something is perfectly safe but test it in inhabited Minmatar space.

Even still, I found it darkly fascinating. They created a miniature Seylinn Incident, and there were probably particles present for a few microseconds that you wouldn’t find anywhere else in the universe. It rung spacetime like a godsdamned bell, so hard it cracked.

I remember a quote from somewhere: “Behold! The awesome fires of God. The limitless power of pure creation itself. Look carefully. Observe how it is used for the same purpose a man might use an especially sharp rock.”

There’s a way in which you haven’t proven right, though, at least yet: it’s only in the most optimistic case that this has in any way “ended.”

Probably it’s just off to a distressing start.

Ah yes, typical of my pessimism to be too optimistic.

It says your Last post on the IGS was Two Years Ago. Did you enjoy your Break ?

I can’t find myself in either of those pictures… :thinking:

So many people so eager to virtue signal their friendly feelings towards the Intaki people and their determination to help. Perhaps that’s the problem?
