RE: To reinforce the Taus and the Omegas
Dear members of the guild,
I'm no man of science or wise as our leaders can be and I have no authority to take decisions for our guild. I'm just a miner but like many of our brothers I can see the situation has become critical for us workers and guardians of the Taus.
The last few months safety in Tau 23 has dropped dramatically. Thanks to the CR folks Java is still in one peace and I really believe we'd be nothing without their help. But lately, we miners have endured many raids in the ore fields, from our neighbors the outcasts of course but also from many different scallywags of all kind. I have seen junkers, rogues, freelancers, French guys, hogoshas, harvesters, libertonians and even squids!
Furthermore, almost every day our colleagues find some freelancer miners trespassing in our territories and stealing our goods.
Tomorrow, If an army breaks into the taus we wouldn't cope with it.
The point is that we IMG have become weak and we are losing little by little our cherished independence.
The solution: We must reunite our people, protect our fields, our convoys, and reinforce our lines of defense against the intruders. We must strengthen our bounds with our allies to overthrow the enemy.
In a recent message, Chief Engineer Gaetan Molière has put the finger on something fundamental: our recruitment process. It's taking too long and many capable guys are growing impatient to join our ranks in the taus and the omegas.
We have the money, the equipment. Now we need the men. We need to strengthen our different departments. We need to accelerate the recruitment process. Our leaders should delegate more of their decisional power regarding the recruitment of newcomers. Furthermore, in order to catch the interest of new members to join our defense department, we could give them extra money once they are enrolled in and give them extra training. Maybe we could find a financial agreement with our faithful CR allies and benefit from their great fighting experience and ask them to train our rookies.
Finally, we could adopt the system of patronage. Each new member would be taken care of by a senior member of the guild.
In order to finance these projects, look at Zed. Shouldn't we follow his example? I'm ready to work extra hours to help the guild.
Shouldn't we be ready to share with the guild our winnings and fill the treasury coffers? Shouldn't we be ready to raise our fists against the intruders and to protect the reason why we have chosen this life?
Yes we are ready !
We are ready to fight for our Independence !
