I doubt they care
Are you still on about Thebeka⌠I forgot about it months agoâŚ
War is business Karmilla, It was never personal.
Besides I didnât shoot any blues.
Youâve got it very wrong, Naava dear. Iâm one of your defenders on that and a few other issues. Hugs and Kisses. I hope after your EM adventure, we can continue being friends again.
Originally we were discussing creating a joint alliance specifically for this operation. However the paperwork quickly became untenable and we just decided since it required less button pushes from me, PHX-O would just join EM.
As for why, well it actually started when we were assisting ARC with Hog Collective attacks. We found their corp hopping away from fights very dishonorable, so it has been a back burner plan to punish them for it ever since.
Ons dear, we need not say or justify why we are doing what we are doing.
And Karmilla call me confused then but I still feel like you are asking me for a fight, either that or a date.
Close, very close.
Aww⌠Donât leave me wondering now, my mind might wander.
maybe thatâs the point. The person that I want to fight, knows it, then, maybe, weâll go on a date.
Is this courtship?
This looks like courtship.
And good luck with the bacon fry-up, Ms. Edios!
You are always welcome to join if you wish Makoto, with the bacon fry-up that is.
They do not look like EM particularly wanting a Sansha pilot under the banner, I assure you.
Ya, good luck with that. We are called the pirates when EM have been partnering with anyone and everyone including Russians who will eventually eat their lunch. I hope you all have dug in because we are in it for the long haul. How about you?
TBH, I see nothing either controversial or unexpected from this merge. Minmatars are already quite infamous for their affinity for criminality.
Besides, I donât see the status quo changing. EM are known for their disposition against the State and Empire - even while theyâre not our direct enemies, I believe when met in space they could be considered as one. PNO are a shelter organization for criminal groups, and in addition to that they has shown themselves as direct enemies of Amarr Empire (and by thus - of Caldari State).
Now theyâre fighting together⌠and what? Weâd have to deal with them one by one if they wouldnât unite their forces anyway.
You do realize EM is lead by Gradient, one of the oldest indie capsuleer corporations still in existence, right?
I do.
Does it mean youâre against it?
I have had several discussions about this with my command and with PNS diplomacy and I am satisfied that this course of action is in the best interests of my alliance and the free tribes.
I am sorry, I misunderstood it then.
Itâs not all that surprising, Iâve witnessed plenty groups in this cluster sacrifice their dignity and beliefs to achieve success. Even with our soured relations, I do hope you accomplish whatever it is that requires working closely with dangerous entities.
I get what you are saying and I even sort of agree, but this also reminds me of something I already said in YC108 or so: if you are willing to give up your life and that of your tribeâs, but you are not willing to give up your pride and your honor, you are not a loyalist, you are a glory hound.
