Chess games and religion in Arzad.

It starts here:
http://battlemonk.eve-kill.net/?a=kill_detail&kll_id=26779222

Then we hear he is back, looking for us.

Reginald Sakakibara > COME BACK

Reginald Sakakibara > fight me :(

EVE System > Channel changed to Local : Arzad
Reginald Sakakibara > I'm at the med if you guys still want to play
Megan Orlenard > play some chess?
Reginald Sakakibara > I'm decent at blitz
Reginald Sakakibara > want to go?
Reginald Sakakibara > come on guys, we used to be alliance mates
Reginald Sakakibara > you can scout all surrounding systems and adjacent wormholes
Reginald Sakakibara > i'm alone and running without links
Reginald Sakakibara > as you can see, I'm not lying

Abbott edeity instructs his brother monks on the use of Game Theory to predict behaviour of enemy players. Reginald is telling the truth. He is only telling the truth because he believes it is to his advantage.

Reginald Sakakibara > but i will be kind of upset if you bring logi and the blackbird

Abbe edeity instructs monks to remain silent except the bait. We are lying in response to his truth. Be playful and entertaining. Oversell your capabilities. Pretend you are now lying about how strong your fleet is. Be over the top so he knows your bluffing.

Megan Orlenard > can i bring my titan! :D
Reginald Sakakibara > sure you can!
Megan Orlenard > yay!!
Reginald Sakakibara > anyway, my move is e4
Sakakibara</url> i have an i5
Megan Orlenard > ok ok
Min kuvien > :)
Megan Orlenard > d3
Reginald Sakakibara > nf3
Megan Orlenard > nsfw7
Megan Orlenard > xD
Megan Orlenard > c4
Megan Orlenard > :D
Reginald Sakakibara > that move is illegal
Reginald Sakakibara > so, you guys have system dominance but you send a harbi
Megan Orlenard > awwww
Reginald Sakakibara > can't you be cool and at least send cruisers or something
Reginald Sakakibara > solo maybe
Reginald Sakakibara > but not with the numbers you have
Reginald Sakakibara > PLUS you'll just web me down and alpha me with a tornado again
Megan Orlenard > i got my titan sooo
Megan Orlenard > dont forget me!
Reginald Sakakibara > well this was a waste of time

Brother monks instructed to remain silent. He has now switched to lying to us, as he believes he is in a position to exploit a false hood. The fight will be soon.

Megan Orlenard > we played a quarter game of chess
Reginald Sakakibara > not even
Megan Orlenard > :D
Reginald Sakakibara > average games of chess last 25 moves
Megan Orlenard > well sorta a quarter
Reginald Sakakibara > if i attack the harbinger, how much are you guys going to undock?
Megan Orlenard > well our fleet is boss man! got so many tornados and oracles!
Megan Orlenard > AND my titan!
Megan Orlenard > you poped our confessor cherry...  TY!

Reginald warps away. Then immediately warps back to tackle the lone Harbinger outside the medium plex.

ENC0M > oh fuck, pls don't shoot
Megan Orlenard > check mate! :D

Oh oh. They were not that inactive. Oh and bait for optimal warp ins for different ships to fight him.

Then a discussion on our brotherhoods pvp merits.

Reginald Sakakibara > you guys could be dicks or we could get fights
Reginald Sakakibara > but if you want to be dicks i'll just stop fighting you guys
ENC0M > gf
Megan Orlenard > yeah wp
edeity > gf
Megan Orlenard > gf
Nha'kila Trotts > gf
Reginald Sakakibara > nope i'm done with you guys
Reginald Sakakibara > you're just dicks
Reginald Sakakibara > have fun playing in a wz with no targets
Nha'kila Trotts > dont worry, youre not the only target, so dont flatter yourself :)
Reginald Sakakibara > i meant more lack of WTs
Reginald Sakakibara > but sure, you <i>could</i> imply that
Royals Indari > o7 secure system as always

Then a discussion on matters religious. A question is asked why we are so mean to DBD. We were once alliance bro's.

edeity > I have been taught by your leader how to treat people in the warzone that they used to fleet with for years
edeity > it was a most informative lesson
edeity > and i have in turn taught this to my brother monks
Reginald Sakakibara > wait Shalee?
edeity > no your new leader
Reginald Sakakibara > but... I gave you guys a kill
Reginald Sakakibara > i just don't understand why you'd need to kick someone after the fact
Reginald Sakakibara > we all live in the same space, least we can do is be civil
edeity > i think we are very civil
Reginald Sakakibara > well i guess if you think so
Reginald Sakakibara > i'd like to fight you guys more
Reginald Sakakibara > and give/get content
Reginald Sakakibara > but it seems like you guys aren't interested so... lol
edeity > we are only here to spread the word of the amarrian faith
edeity > this "content" and fights are but distractions from our true purpose
Reginald Sakakibara > then you should aid in my quest to rid the militia once and for all of Blood Raiders
Reginald Sakakibara > <url=showinfo:2//98315160>Blood Fountain Massacre</url> has recently been accepted into the Loaded-Dice alliance
Reginald Sakakibara > You should declare war on D6
Reginald Sakakibara > and aid me in my crusade to finally cast off the sani sabik influence
edeity > the Blood Raiders are a childish, almost fanboi fetish of a truth within the Amarrian religion. Similar in many ways the "loyalty" many in militia profess
edeity > but it does not mean there is no truth in all of what they preach
Reginald Sakakibara > I have made repeated attempts to dissuade Aopthys Rah from continuing his blood sacrifices
Reginald Sakakibara > Every attempt I've made has only fallen upon deaf ears
Reginald Sakakibara > He claims the Empress has given him leave to do as he please by virtue of serving in the crusade
Reginald Sakakibara > This is both foolhardy and dangerous--only by convincing them to see the light of God's grace can the souls of all those serving in D6 be saved.
Reginald Sakakibara > Until then, they support the Sani Sabik
Reginald Sakakibara > House them, feed them...
edeity > potato, potatoe it is easy to banter the "sani sabik" boogy man but what matters is ones own soul, and perhaps when those you are proclaiming possibly even a truth to look at yours, they have doubt
edeity > perhaps that is a first start on your quest
Reginald Sakakibara > Lady Lianne herself charged me with this mission.
Reginald Sakakibara > Her daughter was recently slain by Sani Sabik infiltrators--it's the reason why our alliance was disbanded.
edeity > and now you are with the most bloodthirsty heathens in this area of space....
Reginald Sakakibara > Nay, she trusts Predator Elite. She has said as much herself.
edeity > I despise predator elite, and he can never be forgiven for his betrayal of the militia, but much more importantly myself individually
Reginald Sakakibara > Until his blackheart is revealed to me personally, I will not besmirch Lady Lianne's judgment with my own.
edeity > well we are enemies then, because you choose who you serve
Reginald Sakakibara > I serve Her Ladyship
edeity > and there is no forgiveness for your master
edeity > her opinion matters not to me on this
Reginald Sakakibara > That you would put a personal vendetta above bringing murderers to justice for slaughtering a four-year old speaks of your morality.
edeity > indeed it does indeed
Reginald Sakakibara > I will pray for your soul knowing my conscious is clean.
Reginald Sakakibara > conscience*
edeity > do not confuse this religious order with some theology council lickspittle
Reginald Sakakibara > And nonetheless you flew under Lady Lianne's banner.
Reginald Sakakibara > Have you no loyalty to the ideals she held? Of the militia she wanted to see?
edeity > other designs are afoot for this space than the limited vision of small minds clinging to a comfortable narrow understanding of their religion
Reginald Sakakibara > You tread dangerously towards heresy.
edeity > one says heresy, another says orthodoxy
Reginald Sakakibara > Heterodoxy, clearly.
edeity > is there heretic one who denies much of the religious scriptures? or is that in fact one who is truly a believer?
Reginald Sakakibara > Lady Lianne's four-year old daughter was murdered by a Sani Sabik cult, and you will do nothing to avenge her?
edeity > life serves the divine purpose
edeity > we all have our place and bring forth the great work
Reginald Sakakibara > So take a stand against the Sani Sabik within the militia and declare war on Loaded-Dice!
edeity > i think you have been very helpful. I shall discuss theological matters with loaded dice and blood fountain. I think there is much to be gained from peaceful dialogue
edeity > we are after all in the end men of peace
Reginald Sakakibara > That you choose not to implies at best you sympathize with sani sabik principles, and at worst accept them.
edeity > you throw around words i suspect you only know half the meaning of. But I guess that at least is still more than most in this place, so you have some enlightenment. I have hope for you and shall keep my eye on you.
edeity > One question
Reginald Sakakibara > So you don't deny you tolerate their presence within Her Majesty's militia?
edeity > I think all should serve Amarr, the faith, the true faith, the full faith.
edeity > To desire otherwise is to be a heretic or worse, an apostate
edeity > so my loyalty is not in question here
edeity > your understanding of what is and is not the practices of the faithful, an what must be done in these trying times is
Reginald Sakakibara > The Sani Sabik are heretics. The Empress executed Karsoth for crimes against the Empire. The Crusade ought be purged.
Reginald Sakakibara > The time for contemplation is long past, old man. The time for action is now.
edeity > you claim religious ideals but preach political outcomes
Reginald Sakakibara > They are one in the same. The Empire's will is God's will incarnate.
edeity > one could almost think you were being disengenous with you words, were one not to know that you are a man of true faith
Reginald Sakakibara > And the Empress rules by God's grace.
edeity > indeed these are true words
edeity > but is not the stars that shine light upon also the same
edeity > the existence of life upon planets
edeity > men, thoughts, teachings, prayer
edeity > all these are also the same
Reginald Sakakibara > Nay. There is prayer, which goes to God, and then there are the heretical blood sacrifices of the Sani Sabik, which is ritualized murder.
edeity > all have their place, their purpose. Some is to bring forth the great reaping, the project, others is to donate to its coming. It is a wonderous task we are all consumed in, whether a small or large part of it
edeity > i think all existence fundamentally wants to be part of, contribute to something more. And this is the great good we all do.
Reginald Sakakibara > The Sani Sabik detract from such an existence.
Reginald Sakakibara > They slaughter dozens, hundreds, thousands at a time.
edeity > I shall pray for the gift of broadening your thought, brother amarrian in faith, Reginald.
edeity > Slaughter is such a crude term, for something that is elegant, simple and to those who do it meaningful, and even beautiful
edeity > one could only assume that in their eyes they are doing a good deed
edeity > we would do well to ponder on these actions, for they are at the heart of what founded the empire, made her strong. If we doubt their actions at the core of what we believe is infallible, what is left?
edeity > anyway, these are but fanciful thoughts of a mind that likes to wander and consider others views of the world, to better understand how to serve Amarr
Reginald Sakakibara > They are a cancer that need be cut out.
edeity > Pax brother
Reginald Sakakibara > I will pray for your heretical views to cease.
edeity > one question
edeity > the brothers are still learning much of our religious traditions
edeity > and i do like to teach by real examples. You have raised many good points in this discussion which they would benefit from considerong
edeity > would you permit me to publish this as an example of a true amarrian discussing matters theological?
edeity > i will not if you say no
Reginald Sakakibara > I stand by God's guiding light in this discussion, if only to show them the depth of the falsehoods into which you lead them.
Reginald Sakakibara > As-salamu alaykum, old man.
edeity > I see that you mean well. ANd try to the best of which you are capable.
Reginald Sakakibara > ((there's an RP movement for more arabic/persian since Latin-based rp is apparently player-created))
edeity > Pax. Sanguis.
