Babiana, if you need her for it, don't hesitate to order Xoriet to help. She'll make a protest-puppet towards me, I'll feel a bit guilty, and the world will move on.

Gov
 
2. I don't think it's a good idea to get the "Empire's perspective." It would justify their reasons for the coup and justify whatever legitimacy they may have.

Hardly. It helps to get their perspective. For example, if I hadn't gotten Lady Phedre's perspective on the Coup, then ASBS' commendation would have been a little lacking, especially this clause: "Noting that the Empire arbitrarily ejected over 100 nations from The East Pacific out of spite and noting that many of these were WA member nations loyal to the legitimate government of the region or simply disinterested, a grievous abuse of the powers of the delegate". Paranoia benefits no one.

Gov
 
3. There have been other offers to interview longstanding veterans of TEP and NS, why not interview them? I myself have had my recent 10 year anniversary in May, and EM had his recently. Why not interview us ?
Loop was recently interviewed. Also, if you think you can do a better job than the current EPNS staff, join. Don't sit comfortably on the side complaining while some people are actually doing something.


I'm outraged with the pair of you. You should be ashamed of yourselves for using our government to give these terrorists a voice. You lack honour. Rahl will be laughing at you now.

Empire now have more influence in TEP than me and Gov put together. But then... perhaps that has always been the case!

Babiana....seriously?

What are your grounds for such a claim?

The evidence would be in Dali's private logs from before the interview. People have talked to him and decided it would be exciting to INTERVIEW him.

I'm disappointed in you.

Babiana, you're saying this as if talking to Dalimbar is a war crime. I talk to plenty of people in OOC settings who I don't get along with at all in IC settings. The antiquated ideal of having absolutely no contact with those who you are IC opposed to has never made sense to me. I was a native of Osiris through multiple coups, yet I still actively chat with all of the people involved. Yeah, I'll fight them tooth and nail in-game, but that doesn't mean I can't treat them like a human being on IRC and such.

Furthermore, although it's possible people had spoken to him before deciding to interview him, it doesn't take much more than opening a random page of NS History to find Dalimbar's name, or Empire's name somewhere. Seriously, this is a player who has served as TNP Delegate, Osiris Delegate, assisted in the coups of multiple GCRs, actively served in the RLA, and was one of the Leading Members of Empire. All of that is extremely common knowledge. Going *just* off of that list of things, Dalimbar already seems like a fantastic person to interview. Even if we had avoided the Empire topic entirely, there would be so many things Dali could give a first-hand account of that we know little about.

Also, as Ramaeus stated, it helps to have perspective. It's not like one interview is going to make everyone massive sympathizers of The Empire. It helps us learn more about the inner workings of a historical enemy, something that's always useful, and I believe that it actually shows newer players just why this bogeyman is still such a taboo topic by showing glimpses into the complex and efficient inner workings of that machine.

Finally, as someone who interacted with Biyah all throughout my time in Osiris, I doubt he really gives a damn one way or another Babs :P
