Thread: Omni-Tek Press Release: Operational Update on Situation in Borealis

    Buffer zones are really not an issue in modern war. With grid, whompah, suborbital air craft, as well as on site teleportation most reasonably equiped forces can be at a battle site in moments.

    omnis aren't that smart to think of that
    Never knock on death's door, always ring the bell and run. Death really hates that.

    I agree.
    You see, OT-RK operates on the principle of "promoting until at level of incompetence" so that's not exactly a surprise.

    Incidentally, reading up on this topic, I see a certain someone trying very hard for the next promotion and in the process demonstrating the ability to master the very highest positions in OT-RK.
    That load of bronto droppings spread so richly over this conversation by that "person" really makes me ashamed to be Omni. Although not ashamed enough to go Clan.
    Me? Trouble? No trouble..

    As Mae West said: "Never resist temptation, you don't know if you'll get another chance."

    Uhmm..
    Could you define freedom, please?

    I'm Clan and as a Clanner I can:
    - go where I want all over Rubi-Ka (with the exception of parts of Omni territory)
    - live in any town or settlement I choose (barring those under OT control)
    - marry who I want (if she'll marry me, that is), I can adopt children - even as a single parent if I can prove a given level of income (being a 'Trox I'll not have kids of my own)
    - get any job I'm qualified for, I can go out and enjoy life as I please as long as I break no laws
    - befriend anyone I wish - Clan, Neut or Omni..
    (As I recall from before I became Clan, Omnis can do basically the same. I have lots of Omni friends and they appear to be under very little restraint as far as these points go.)

    Also, I can:
    - voice my opinion an any matter I desire
    - gather information and learn about subjects as I choose
    - partake in public life as I wish - and I can do so without toeing any politilcal dogma, being incarcerated, subjected to "reeducation" or any other euphemisms for being oppressed.
    - gather with my friends and discuss politics or any other subject without being ordered to disperse
    - think on my own - in fact, that almost a requirement.
    That sure sounds like freedom to me.
    However, Omnis might have a bit more trouble in these areas, I'll agree. My OT friends are sometimes not all that well informed or willing to think on their own, hehe.

    That out-of-control thugs are running around does not rule out freedom, it simply means that a) the war is causing serious harm to people's minds and b) we need to find a way to deal with the thugs/loons/loose cannon on all sides. Preferably quickly and decisively but I fear we have to see the end of the war before that's possible.. and that's an event placed far into the future, I think. Certainly, current development doesn't indicate a cessation of hostilities is approaching, sadly.

    Yeah, nor is it any use listening to them so keep quiet now..
    We'll do you a favour in return some day, even if it can't ever be as big a favour.
