I rest my case. Thanks for playing

oh, and Ebola, when Veil sent that hovership to crash into the docks, did you guys all think the wreckage would just miracle itself around the civillians?

Murder doesn't get you what you want, it only makes the other sides mad.

You obvously have a very limited world history as the murder(or assassination in this case) of one person was the spark of the first world war. No I believe murder can get you exactly what you want if you know how to use it.

I've always seen assassination as an elimination of a singular entity. MLK, Malcolm X, JFK, RFK, John Lennon, Medgar Evers, Ghandi, they were assassinated.

Oh, WWI, if I recall, roughly ten million soldiers died in that war, all because one Archduke got popped by an Bosnian Serb who wanted freedom for his people from the Austrian-Hungry Empire. Soon though, it turned into a complete balls up, and Sarajevo and Ferdinand were barely memories. Ten Million dead because of one dead Archduke.

That my friend is a waste

And in case anyone is keeping score, no one has answered exactly how this gets them back in the pods, or if that is no longer the case, what is their goal?

A waste maybe but none the less that one murder created a way for someone else to attempt at getting what they wanted. Yes it was a gamble but war always is. You either win it all or loose it and as I said it can get you exactly what you want if you know how to use it.

As for your last statment that is very true and i doubt they have a reason for it. Also I guess for all "politcal" reasons I should state that while I believe murder, war, and anything associated with death of a person or peoples can be a means to get what you want I am in no way saying that it should be used in an effort to do so.

It's being used in an effort to do so...

I think you misinturpreted my argument. I was never argueing that murder is right. I am very much aware that it is being used as an effort to gain something and being EPN am sure I've seen more of it from the Cypherite then Zion has in these past few months.

My argument was in you saying that nothing can be gained in murder, which something can be gained if done so correctly.

It sounded like you were arguing that you agreed murder was right. But you used an instance of history that actually proved the opposite of what you were saying. By Killing the archduke, Bosnia unleashed the world war (and eventually
it's worse predecessor), and soon the actual reason (Bosnia) was forgotten as it turned into a global free for all. Using that as an example, are the Cypherites ( from the way you responded to my post, you sounded as if you were one, I apoligize for this mistake) doing this as part of a grand scheme to get back into the pods? Or are they now nothing more than Anarchistic Terrorists?

I see how that could be interprted and sorry it wasn't all that clear. Really I couldn't tell you why they do what they do but my guess would be revenge.

What?! Come on! The First World War was catalysed by the Assassination of Franz Ferdinand, but if the two alliances hadn't been p*ssing each other off for nearly 2 decades beforehand, then there may never have been an assassination, let alone a goddam war.

Man! And you people wonder why we stereotype EPN, when people like GamiSB represent you and your knowledge of 'World History'... Eesh.

And Greiver, if you think that my not wanting to discuss beleifs that I have shared with others on a public relay node 'loses' this little tiff, then you're as shallow as Gami thinks. Catch me in the Matrix sometime, and we'll talk it over.

Killing innocents? We've only hit military targets in and out of the Matrix. Its a war, people die... get used to it, its only going to get worse.
This isn't a war - it's a crusade. Or, to be more precise, two crusades: one waged by the Cypherites who want to kill Redpills, and one waged by EPN who want to destroy the Matrix. They're not directly fighting each other (that would be a war), but rather anyone who gets in their way.

'The War' between humanity and the Machines in on hold - hopefully permanently. You're not taking part in that, you're making up your own battles.

So no, it's not a war. It's murder.

We kill to protect those that sleep.  We kill to allow them an uninterrupted dream of bliss.  We kill and kill and will continue to kill whether it pleases you or not.  Call it a crusade, campaign, war, noble cause or anything else that comforts you but in the end we won't hesitate to pull the trigger.

We are cypherites and your life means nothing to us.  Get in our way and we'll take it from you.

You missed the point interitly. Someone took a murder and tried to gain something from it. Thus you can use murder for gain. That was the point.
