What is the current state of things in Intakiland? Is there still a strong movement for an Intaki state in lowsec? I need the lowdown on current Intaki politics from someone on the inside. Enquiring minds want to know.
-
ILF are still going strong, last I checked.
-
Depends whose version of Intaki you agree with.
-
I agree with the version where Placid is a safe and stable region, free from the control of the empires, where I can go to buy, sell and trade in the sorts of shady goods and services that are illegal everywhere else while enjoying ethnic solidarity and other such touchy feely nonsense, obviously.

Wait, what?

o/ Yep Intaki Seperatism is alive and well
The Intaki Liberation Front is probably the most overt corp RPing that angle but there have been smaller groups like Intaki Pure along the way.
If you're looking for that black marketeering thing Anshar Incorporated were around a few months ago (and might be back soon?) who kind of spanned the Syndicate / Serpentis area.
In terms of recent events it's been primarily dominated by Faction Warfare related politics, most notably the internal divisions between factions within the State, the ILF playing a supporting role to Caldari liberals I-RED and having some scuffles of our own with the militia.
When in game join the FreeIntaki channel to chat to us and find out more.

Senn, perhaps this video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vb82-_QQQIo) will help to clarify my previous statements.

What about Syndicate? It has all those things!*
*For certain values of 'stable' and 'safety'.

Yeah, we're still around.

Apparently, someone hasn't been keeping up with the gossip and rumors thread.
The quick recap: A handsome Intaki Separatist of some renown spent a few almost a month in Villore trying to convince the Supreme Court to invalidate the voting prohibition act (the one that disenfranchised the Intaki System and its neighbors) and force a recall election of the President.
When that failed, he clone jumped out to Syndicate Space where he was seen traveling between stations with a surly looking group of militants.
The latest rumor is that this separatist leader was seen flying through Federation space in an Obelisk. One dockmaster was heard muttering, "What the hell does a pacifist need with 50 large crates of small arms?"

My only hope, my only solution is a violent revolution. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=csBuQWH9HyI)

I've -- that is me, though it's likely also crossed Celeste's mind (Vieve doesn't concern herself with such matters anymore) -- occasionally wondered if some RP hay could be made out the disenfranchisement act's missing a couple of things.
a) a reversion clause (and on that subject, who is responsible for deciding when a system is no longer occupied? Is this left solely to the FDU, the job of the Federation Navy, the President, or must each and every disenfranchised system petition the Senate and/or the Supreme Court in order to have their re-enfranchisement considered?)
b) a mention of whether the act was a one time action, or the ruling's being kept on active reserve so to be applied to any other systems that are deemed 'occupied' or 'under an unacceptable amount of foreign influence' -- y'know, by whomever's responsible for deciding such things.

It's really too bad said handsome Intaki didn't try working through the court system with a proper set of appeals, but I guess the end-run looks better and doing it the right way would be too slow :D I've been browsing the IGS and I'm sad I missed this.

Is Simon active again? If so, I look forward to interacting with him again.
Saxon has always felt he could maybe bring Simon over given the right circumstances.
-
Simon is back in game and I'm looking forward to interacting with the ILF again :)

Glad to see you again too, Mammal. Bumping the thread to say that I'm enjoying getting a chance to butt heads with Bataav again, and hoping nobody actually expects me to produce a bunch of academic papers on the slow destruction of divergent Intaki subaltern polities. Because damn, I need some time for that :twisted:

On my desk by Monday morning ok for you? :lol:
Actually my last post there on the IGS regarding other groups does hint towards my OOC feelings on Intaki RP. It would be nice for a non ILF or non IPI group to be around to interact with. Even more so if they were based in Placid and stopped by the Viriette constellation from time to time. If anything it would mean the ILF didn't appear as if we want to steer or dominate Intaki RP purely by the nature of being one of the very few Intaki corps out there.
I remember when Anshar Inc. first arrived in Placid and became quite vocal. There was the impression within the ILF that they might be more Syndicate aligned than Serpentis and there was actually a conversation within the corp about working with them on one level or another. Unfortunately for us, the Serpentis line seemed to dominate and with the booster trade and "stuff" with I-RED that followed (and me being shot in the face while ratting *cough* Milo *cough* :P) our hands were tied RP-wise and it was a shame that we didn't get to explore things between the two groups more. I'm interested to see what Anshar return with and whether we can expect to see them in Intaki at some point.
More Intaki-oriented corps can only be a good thing so if Simon is becoming more active (and IGS suggests he is) then I look forward to what ever happens next.

You were shooting Serpentis, what else was I supposed to do?
As for Anshar, I'm not particularly sure whether or not we'll be returning to Placid in the immediate future. I'm still attempting to get a handle on things after my 6 month EVE hiatus, and frankly, the 'casual' PvP, which is largely what I play the game for, is awful there. Before the break, it was all clueless FW stealth bombers and Dramiels who'd either die horribly or run away the second you dropped into local, or fleets that we couldn't feasibly engage with the numbers we had.
That said, some fun times were had when we took mixed T1 cruiser fleets out into Syndicate.
TLDR; we're looking around, and you'll definitely know if we end up in Placid for the long haul again.

I think the dialogue Senn and Bataav managed on the IGS was what I'll consider the success of my early time in Placid. I think the place where State/Federation tensions combine is in the Syndicate and among secessionists - sort of similar paths, really, with obviously different methodologies, but not different spirits. It was refreshing to have an open and civil, but appropriately passionate discussion on the role of the Syndicate in Placid.
