Dark empire discussion

[Nurahk]

You are wrong but your pride won't let you fully admit it.  I respect that.

Now, is there anything else?

[zanzibar]

I may be wrong but I doubt that if I was right you would be able to admit it publicly as it would attract a type of player you might not want.

Yet another sideways insult!  I love it!

I will reserve final judgment until more facts are on the table.

Right, because your opinion is all-important.  Sheesh!

[bilbous]

Hey my final opinion means nothing to anyone but me and I see no insult in suggesting a pragmatic approach to recruitment. As I implied the guilds future action will prove its nature. It might even change due to personnel changes, whether planned or unplanned.

Nurahk if you feel it necessary for whatever reason to equivocate to keep your options open that is fine with me just do not expect me to believe 100% and allow me to equivocate at my end as well. Certainly in any hypothetical situation there are more factors that can be added to make blanket assurances invalid. I accept that. Nuff Said?

[Sangwa]

I'm not sure what you guys are talking about. I'll try to clear out somethings though.

First: Any usage of D&D Alignments in this game is out of place. That means any tagging of the Dark Empire, or any other PS guild, using this alien alignment system is far from being accurate, whichever perspective you look at it with. We're not Lawful Evil, Neutral Good or Lawful Neutral.

Second: The Dark Empire doesn't hide its higher ranked people or affiliations. The Dark Empire "guild" is secret merely because I do not wish to part with it and have someone else stealing the name. If you check our descriptions, you'll see we have it obvious that we're part of the Empire. If you don't check our descriptions... Well. I don't care about what you think. Check the Dark Empire's Members Page to know who is acknowledged as a true imperialist.
Maybe I should add that we only affiliate to ourselves and our interests.
If it still doesn't make sense to you, it's because you're not familiar with our structure. That is your problem. I assume people discussing here have some basic knowledge about the Empire, and our structure is plainly explained in our website.

Third: My member's quality isn't degrading. Some members need more experience though. Still, all imperialists are imperialists because they are important to us. That's obviously our point of view though. It's possible some of you dislike some of our members, specially if they're an obstacle to you in some way.

Fourth: Our objective is quite simple. It has been called world domination before. However I currently put it in the following wording: to please our ambitions and attain whatever is within our reach. This means it actually depends on our virtues. And currently we've proved to be virtuous by most everyone's standards.

And finally Fifth: I'd ask for the mitigation of all side topics. We don't need confusion.

Shrouding this forum members into doubts about the Dark Empire is an excellent advertisement policy, and aways get some unvoluntary(or voluntary) contributors to the Ad keeping the thread alive.

Anyway the goals of the Dark Empire for the near future are *SPOILER*

[Garile]

The goals for the near future are simple. Make sure all four main subguilds have a loyal strong membership.

I'm being very explicit. If you still have doubts it's either because I didn't answer one of your questions, or you can't seem to grasp the meaning of my words. In both cases, you can ask again and allow me to try and make all your doubts go away.

Our current goals are quite simple. The reason we don't post them publicly is because they hardly concern those who are not willing to aid us. We're currently establishing each Force with its own guild. We're also making sure the Empire is well suited, trained and placed within Hydlaa. Each Imperial Guild obviously has its own specific agenda though.

EDIT TO ADD: I am amused by how we intrigue some people. It's good advertisement indeed to have people discuss us so willingly. It's hardly our doing though, as we're merely providing for something that has been requested: discussion about the Dark Empire.
I'd like to thank for everyone's time and interest, and hope we'll keep receiving both.

[zanzibar]

Trust me on this one.  I try starting crap with Sangwa all the time, and he just doesn't let me.  He's too straight forward a guy.



So here's my question for Nurahk:  Why do you entertain such bogus questions?

[Nurahk]

The truth?  I love giving bogus answers.

Look at the answers I gave Thom and you'll know what I mean.

[Natrina]

 Just a quick popping in to share some economic policies considering Bilbous' imaginary situation, though I do understand he was aiming for what we'd do when being will blocked.

 As to what the objectives and plans in economical terms are leading us to, our economy will be made in such way that, in theory, we'd either have economic relations with your shop or you'd rarely meet an imperialist in it at all (at least speaking for the Imperial Traders), so personally, ignoring you for your "right" to exclude us as customers would be a lovely pleasure.

Nurahk, you must have noticed that I contradicted what you "answered" to me in every post. Sanwa's post just confirms what I've been saying all the time.
Your techniques of seeding confusion about the Empire do not work on me.

Thank you for your time.

[Nurahk]

I'm saying I never actualy gave you an answer, Thom

[ThomPhoenix]

You did say it was not the Empire's goal to conquer the world.

To begin, world domination is a rumour.  A false one at that.

So you contradict:

Our objective is quite simple. It has been called world domination before.

[lordraleigh]

Keeping the Infowars and Information Warfare IC will be more interesting and appropriate.

It's not a contradiction.  Something can be called X without actually being X.
