My Pilots have the freedom to engage in any form of combat as long as those pilots aren't marked as friends in our database. Or if both sides of the conflict decide to engage in a friendly bout.

My pilots are selfsufficient and intelligent and can determine for themselves if they can afford to participate.

I wish any participant the best of luck in this test of mettle if they chose to participate,

I have a question to JF though,

"Since you limit the ability of the participants to secure themselves by limiting their ships and fittings, can you guarantee the security of their vessels in the arena from, lets say a Caldari Navy task force that would crash these illegal games, or a local force of podders that would spectate for easy pickings"

Even if you can't guarantee the security of the games it, of course, is still up to the individuals to decide to participate.

Best of luck with the games, may the best podder win.

I think we all know that such a guarentee would be false bravado at best. Nothing is guarenteed in the eve star cluster and safety least of all. Its entirely possible that some external agency will try to disrupt the tournament and if that happens its expected that the competitors will either work in concert to destroy the saboteurs with the resources on hand and/or move swiftly to the SF stations in Nalvula and Vuorassi where we'll help everyone re-equip for serious combat.

Part of me almost hopes this will happen ...

for while in part entertainment to be sure, this tournament serves a deadly serious purpose beyond. If its shown that the Black Rabbits are more committed to personal accomplishment and war-arts than the Caldari militias

---

the Black Rabbits are really quite impressive and they should be feared and respected. Still the above statement is absolute *******s with out one shred of reality to it if you base Caldari militias's combat ability on attendance to your little dueling game.

I think Black Rabbits are the more skilled fighting force, especially with a few of the recent new members. But just because the Caldari militia isn't jumping into your game doesn't mean anything one way or the other except you have no sway over their actions.

I think everyone could see you planning to attempt to publically force these two groups into your sporting event by the public nature of this request. disgustingly blatant Jade, even for you.

At least it proves the weakening power and prestige of Jericho since you can't even bribe people to attend your events anymore, well except for Trevedian...

If you wish to address me use decent language that isn't considered profanity please. I honestly can't be bothered to interpret the "*" signs.

It must be such a shame to live in your world, Mr. Bliss, where invitation is forcing, where a prize is a bribe, and where even combat is frowned upon. Such an outlook would surely drive me mad to live with. See, it might be one thing were you were part of the deal, but you aren't. Yet something still drives you to stick your nose in. Is it perhaps Jericho obsession, so deep that you must at all costs do what you can in a sorry attempt to discredit our corporation? Or is it that the concept of an even fight really burn your insides that much, even when you are not in it?

Guess what, Mr. Bliss. Jericho Fraction does not need your seal of approval. Go scurry away and keep your forked tongue behind your teeth, unless you seek to speak for Kimotoro Directive, and surely they have the sense to pick a better representative.

Since a state of war now exists between the Directive and the terrorist organization knowns as The Black Rabbits this discussion is now moot.

1) I hate being manipulated-that's one of the reasons I work for the Guristas in the first place. Deny it all you want, but this is Star Fraction at it's most devious, and whatever you're trying to achieve I won't be helping.

Quote for Truth

Come on JF and deny it again.

I deny Bliss' abs. Again.

Tomahawks abs. I think.

I mean seriously, those are not natural. Anyone that's seen the difference between natural endowments and Cosmo's handiwork can tell.

Tempting as your offer may seem Jerico Fraction, I must respectfully decline.

Tournaments are for shows and bravado.

What we have with K-D is very real and many lives are on the line. Why would we be puppets in a show for you when our brothers are out there fighting?

what is a Yarbles? because at this point it is the only thing that isn't plain to know despite the attempts at damage control.

If you need to ask what yarbles are... You don't have any...

The Black Rabbits would like to announce a Cease Fire in Nalvula for the Duration of the tournament.

I, myself will be in the system, but may not have time to participate in the tournament.

This should enable anyone invited to participate in this honorable test of combat prowess.

The Black Rabbits will add a Falcon class Recon ship as a prize.
