I originally submitted this to Funcom to be posted on the main website, but they obviously decided to not post it, for whatever reason. In any case... Read It, Learn It, Live It, Love It.

Let’s have a little quiz. Who discovered Rubi-Ka? Omni-Tek. Who first colonized Rubi-Ka? Omni-Tek. Who began to terraform Rubi-Ka? Omni-Tek. Who holds the lease on Rubi-Ka? Omni-Tek. Who is winning the battle for land control on Rimor? The CLANS???
As a faithful citizen of Rubi-Ka, and as a devoted employee of Omni-Tek, I feel this should NOT stand. We are rolling over to the clans, and letting them brow-beat us into submission. Some of us are even defecting over to the clans, and giving up on Omni-Tek. Why?
I see several issues here on Rimor, and they all need to be addressed, and addressed now. First off, most Omni-Tek employees seem to lack any sense of the greater good. When the call goes out to take down a clan tower, everyone cries that they are too busy. Yet when the clan calls for an attack on Omni towers, they are well organized, and come in force. Also, when an Omni organization calls for an attack, and asks some of the more powerful organizations for help, the more powerful organizations say that they don’t want to risk their own towers. Last time I checked, you can’t win every battle in a war. You have to lose now and then. The trick is to learn from your mistakes. And build upon them.
This leads me to my second point. When we win, we don’t keep it. We give up, and let the clanners take the territory back. We used to hold Deep Artery Valley. Look at it now. I see lots of clan towers there. Heck, look at Southern Fouls Hills, and Eastern Fouls Plains… they are in our backyard, and yet who holds them… Clan. Why don’t we just stop defending our towers, and give all of Rubi-Ka to the clans? That’s what I expect to happen next.
And finally, my final point is the one that pains me the most. When I speak with other Omni employees, and I try to encourage them to fight, they sound like little children. All I hear is “they outnumber us”, or “they are more powerful than us”. One thing I have learned here on Rubi-Ka is that NOTHING is impossible if you make it happen. If you doubt yourself, and think you are going to be crushed like an insect, you will be. If you believe in yourself, and think that you will win…. You will. It’s simple.
So what can we do to stop this madness? First, we need to believe in ourselves. Without that, all is lost. If we want to win, and we show that willingness to win, we will. And we will win resoundingly. Secondly, we need to stop being selfish, and only looking out for ourselves. As Omni-Tek employees, our first obligation is to our family, and I don’t mean your mother or father. I mean Omni-Tek. They are why we are here. If we take care of Omni-Tek, Omni-Tek will take care of us. And finally… we need to work together. Not solo, not in small groups. We need to work together as a massive, united force that crushes all opposition in our path.
We ALL need to fight back. We need to win back our land. Everyone who calls themselves an Omni-Tek can help us, from the newest citizen, to our oldest sages. This great injustice cannot stand for long, and it is up to us, as Omni-Tek employees, to make sure that this travesty is ended, and ended now.
