Vault 13

What a load of rubbish, Grub's post is just plain ludicrous. The terms offered by Karma MUST match the severity of the crimes committed by NPO, and simply letting them off the hook so that their banks, which are hiding in peace mode right now, can build them back up to their former glory within a month is simply not acceptable. You dont take a mass murderer, and let them off the hook with a slap on the wrist you make sure that he is punished so that JUSTICE is served you dont slam the state for putting him in prison for life or for serving him with the death sentence you thank the state and go about your business. Stating that Karma is just as bad as NPO was is only aknowledging that what Pacifica did was wrong and that they do in fact deserve this punishment, and we're not talking about unjust terms here it's not like we're sentencing a first time shoplifter to a life sentence, we're talking about a habitual offender who finally got caught, tried, and convicted. Crimes were committed on multiple occasions, and to be frank NPO deserves disbandment but since that is not being offered these terms will have to suffice. The terms NPO counteroffered simply remind me of my favorite episode of the simpsons the episode where Mr. Burns dumps radioactive waste in a play ground and he's brought before a judge. "Judge Snyder: Mr. Burns, in light of your unbelievable contempt for human life, this court fines you $3million. Montgomery Burns: Smithers, my wallet's in my right front pocket. [smithers hands over the money] We can laugh at that moment because we all know that the punishment in no way affected Mr. Burns it was a slap on the wrist for his "unbelievable contempt for human life" for god sakes he had the money in his right front pocket just like NPO has the money in their right front pocket, they know it, karma knows it, and Grub should know it. Their counteroffered terms were offered because they knew they could pay them and immediately go right back to their old habits because they would have learned NOTHING from all of this, in fact if you want to know how much they have learned from all of this simply read their members posts, they usually are spouting off garbage about how they will never surrender and will stick to pacifica, and her values......her values? the very same values that got pacifica into this mess in the first place. Karma CANNOT allow Pacifica off without Pacifica first understanding why they were punished, and secondly actually FEELING their punishment, and the only way to make them feel the sting of this war is to destroy their banks so that when rebuilding their infra they actually understand why they lost it in the first place.
