You're not seriously planning on trying to attack the Emperess are you? Because that would be just about the most ******** move you could make at this point. The current choice of ruler is just about the best thing for the Minmatar as it has caused yet another group to splinter away from the theology council. We should be subtly encouraging that.

I feel that this is a topic that merits further discussion. Practically, I agree with you that the Empress to be is perhaps the best best choice in when speaking in terms of the relationship with the Tribes. However if this were a theoretical argument, one could argue that her success gives credence and legitimacy to the Amarr Empire's most basic tenant of Foreign Policy; namely the Reclamation. Here we have a an empress that is from a people other than the True Amarr. Her people were reclaimed, and her coronation is a statement that says their religion, their system works. that the Reclamation works. With the possibility of one day, perhaps far in the future, a Brutor could be crowned Emperor, the defeat of that idea and of the Empire becomes that much harder. Following this train of thought, should we not be subtly be encouraging this purity of the thrown movement instead? Play both sides. As long as the Empire is focused on it's own internal problems they won't be projecting as much power and influence, which is good for the Republic.

How about you shut up or we kill you? If you could have, you would have done it by now. The Amarr are indeed strong, but not as strong as you like to boast.
Aldrith Shutaq wrote: If you want to help your people, prove that you are not a threat. Better yet, prove that you can be decent and that maybe your brethren still enslaved deserve to be treated better. And don't give me the same crybaby story "B-but the Amarr are too mean to let us go!" Bullskink ****. My people were enslaved. My people worked hard. My people were freed. A Ni-Kunni bloodline has now been adopted into one of the highest families of the Empire, and many of us are working our way higher into Imperial society. You do not get to use that excuse. Your inability to figure out a way out of slavery besides "I can kill my way out" is your own fault.
TL;DR: you can't beat us, resistance is futile.
You seem to be under the misguided impression that we are interested in joining your little book club and worshiping your invisible man in the sky just to get you to leave us alone. We are not. I for one would prefer to simply be left to our own devices. But I'm not going to get that, am I?
Aldrith Shutaq wrote: The only way to change the Empire is from within it. The only way to change the Empire from the outside is to destroy it. Despite what you drooling barbarians think, there are enough good people in the Empire to not warrant that kind of change, and I and billions of those good people will fight you to the last to keep your rage-fueled dreams of blood and bullets come true. The Minmatar will one day be free; I dream of that day as well. But I am not going to let you burn down my home so you can walk them to freedom over the bodies of my children. We have no interest in becoming part of the Empire to affect change from within. And despite what you arrogant sociopaths think, we as a people have no interest in destroying the Amarr. We know what happens when you drag people over the corpses of children. We watched your raiding party's do it frequently, so let's not sit here and pretend either one of our peoples are innocent in this.

Sorry for the double post, but I also don't understand this argument. I've seen it a lot! Reading the IGS and my personal work out and about I often hear Minmatar criticize the Amarr Faith as some gobbledygook, but as far as I've come to understand, a large amount of the Matari practice spiritualism and shamanism and natural spiritual deities and, from what I can tell, magic tattoos. I don't understand how you can scoff at both at the same time! I thought, since you're of the tribes, you'd at least not berate your own peoples' beliefs by criticising faith in general! I don't recall being critical of faith in general. Just the ones that enforce the idea that everyone not of that faith is a sub-human piece of trash and needs to be enslaved or killed. Our spiritualism is for the betterment of ourselves, Amarrian religion tells them that by, ruining the lives of other people, they are actually helping them.

Something tells me that your fleet will be utterly useless should such an event occur a second time. Also, it's doubtful the drifters will attempt the same trick twice.

Stop being such a douche over having your nonsense called out.
And take down that silly contract of long-limbed roe. I promise, nobody wants your meat. Does he know what actionable intelligence is?

Ronin, are you seriously picking a fight with Kim? She may not be the brightest knife in the crayon box, but in combat ability she has you so far outclassed that the match would just be sad to watch. Are you an idiot?

That doesn't seem very friendly. Alright, look, this is real simple then. If you two insist on dueling: one of you picks location, the other picks the hull. Identical ships. T1 Frigates. No whining about 'this isn't the racial type I normally fly', either. If you can't win duel with someone else's tools, maybe you shouldn't be calling one another out. Ronin challanged Kim, Kim picks the location. T1 frig hulls, to ensure a fair fight enforce a second fleet member of neutral alignment in each group to act as a referee and ensure fair play. Once one of the two frigs goes down the fight is over.

Ma'am, I am a Caldari Officer, and Matar Ronin is a dirty tribal. Accepting a duel from a space trash like him with forever dirty my uniform, making me trash like him. I challenge to duel and accept challenges only from people whom I believe who have honor, whose words have value. As for enemies - I simply shoot them down. If Matar Ronin dares to 'challenge' me, he can appear and show he can fight. If he won't appear - well, I have a job to do instead of chasing cowards and loudmouths from IGS all over cluster. I am a combat pilot, and there are capsuleers who represent way more serious threat than some raging tribal from IGS, who lacks some gears in his brain. I thought your racist cowardice could not sink any lower, but down you go. Tell me what is like to live so low you have to look up to a Fedo? Stop. Poking. The. Xenophobe. Damnit, Ronin, act like an adult.

Well, then it narrowed down for this tribal daring to request a duel from Caldari Officer, but being too afraid of actual coming and fighting. I believe at this moment I really shouldn't expect him coming anymore. That's because he wants to fight you on the same kind of terms you demand of the people you challange: his home turf. Stupid to accept that kind of challenge, duels of honor should be held on neutral ground.

Things that you've identified as dysfunctions seem, to me, to either be intended features or acceptable consequences. Some ideals that you hold are things that are either unimportant or even undesirable to us.
Unless you can understand our cultural history, you'll have problems understanding the choices we make.
Nonetheless, I can attempt to explain. Personal opinion here, but you would just be wasting breath. It seem like he doesn't even understand Minmatar culture. Attempting to explain yours would be a challenge at best.

I try to over look those whose ego I have bruised to the point they feel motivated to attack everything I say to earn points but such is life for many because even rhetorical combat here on IGS has it's casualties, so sometimes I have to respond to the walking wounded. Perhaps it will help heal them also. This actually has nothing to do with me. I'm not "walking wounded", I just think you're annoying at this point.
Matar Ronin wrote: Understanding Minmatar Culture is what motivates my inquiries. Because what indeed is Minmatar culture today? Is it how the Minmatar live who live in the Caldari State? Is it how the Minmatar live in the Federation? Is it how the Minmatar live in bondage in the clutches of the slavery cultists? Is it how the planet bound Minmatar live in the Republic? Is it how the Minmatar live in the nomadic fleets? Way to go about proving my point.
Matar Ronin wrote: To truly understand Minmatar culture as it exists today one has to study and learn all these systems because more than any other of the people of the New Eden Cluster we Minmatar are dispersed in large numbers everywhere.
What might be nosy snooping by others is actually self interest on my part because of how it effects the Minmatar who live in that particular region or system. Those living outside the Republic have chosen to live in a culture outside of the tribes, they know what they got themselves into. You don't need to bother them.
Matar Ronin wrote: Because we Minmatar are the first culture to truly span and integrate with all the other major cultures of the New Eden Cluster I think our own definition of what culture is has to be a live growing changing dynamic organism that is being shaped by influences from everyone else. In a certain light it can be something to be feared, will we lose ourselves? However because of the resilience we have demonstrated after many centuries of bondage I feel confident our cultural evolution will result in something that remains identifiable as us. Hopefully through some honest and extensive research we will take the best of where we live and leave behind the dysfunctional portions to help shape our own futures. And this is the textbook definition of cultural appropriation... Are you sure you're not Gallente?

By that definition there could have been no Minmatar culture in existence after the barbarians conquered our homeworlds. A point every sensible Minmatar would object to. Our traditions, our craftsmanship, our poetry, music, art, religion, our insistence to be free and independent are just a few parts of our Minmatar culture we carry everywhere we have gone and will travel with us everywhere we go in the future. The fact that Pilot Toov believes Minmatar culture is as small and shallow as his own vision is really a personal tragedy for him. When the Amarr came they damn near glassed our homeworld. We are a shadow of our former culture. Sacred sites leveled, historical buildings and records destroyed, every attempt to wipe out our way of life was made. We have a spotty oral history and a few documents the Amarrians missed to work off of. Damn near everything the tribes are now was rebuild after getting our freedom.

*sigh* Big things can start small. But you'll never make a tsunami by throwing a pebble in a pond. You could use violence as a catalyst for change, but you need to be really good at it and be able to channel that change in a positive direction (politics). If you just shoot things then it's nothing more than violence and only liable to irritate the Empire away from the negotiation table. We don't need that.
