The following message is posted on the side of the central tower of Fairhaven. The lines are not even, nor is the lettering. However the strokes of the pen are firm and the ink only occasionally fades due to an attempt to write too long without re-charging the quill.

To the Taliari and citizens of New Trykoth, greetings from Mac'Od Bittty, Ranger Aspirant and Tryker.

It has come to my attention by looking at the records of the building of the Kitin Observation Camps that those of Aeden Aqueous lag behind those of the other Nations. Our ingenuity (or that of Ba'Arroy Arty at least) has produced coatings that doubled the utility of already built construction and multiplied manyfold the effectiveness of deliveries to the camps due to the use of his engine, operated by Trykers. And yet the Camps in Aeden Aqueous still lag behind those of other nations.

Why?

I am not a citizen of New Trykoth. I am a High Officer of the neutral guild of Phaedrea's Tears and I am an aspirant to become a Ranger of Atys. Yet, in cooperation with Matt the Mannic (my guildmate and also a Tryker but not a citizen) we represent all but one of the delivery missions to the Camps in Aeden Aqueous over the last (IRL) day and a half and the only ones that supplied *all* of the camps.

Do not think that we feel slighted in these actions; we were paid, and paid well(*). In addition, it seemed to us only the correct thing to do, to help to build that which would serve our comrades in blood and the land that we call home. Still, we would have thought that our efforts would be only a small part of a mighty effort of the Tryker race to complete a project so worthy, and they are not.

Where is the resolve of the harvesters and riders of the Trykers? I have prospected and harvested many of the materials we need, and it is clear that there are others as well, but not that many. I find this unusual given that the price paid per unit of material is quite lucrative. (**)

When we originally build the Camps, many years ago, we Tryker completed them in time beaten only by the warlike and disciplined Fyros and then we took our services to other lands to help them. Now we lag. Why?

We are not disciplined but we are industrious and ingenious, and we can be mighty even if we do not bow to an Emperor or King or Priest. Taliari -- where is your call to action? Citizens -- where is your will? Join us and show the other Nations of Atys what we can do!

Done by my own hand,

Mac'Od Bittty

-----
(*) The payment for delivery is 10,000 dappers per camp plus a variable number of fame points depending on the level of the camp. (That's 60,000 dapper for a complete run.)
(**) The deliveries of harvested materials to the Base Camp in Greenvale now are rewarded with dappers. The payment for turning in 12 mats of each of three different types of q10 materials is 2500 dappers. Turning in 36 mats of three types of q160 materials yields 20,000 dappers. You get fame points, too.

*another note is being pinned under the one from Mac'Od Bittty*

Atys'ata, Ranger Aspirant Mac'Od Bittty!

Please think back on the last Assembly of the Rangers. Both you and your superior Wilk Potskin said that one should not (politically) meddle in the affairs of other groups/nations. Remember your own words?

You, Mac'Od Bittty, told an Zorai-Awakened and -Ambassador that she should not talk about discords between Rangers and the Kingdom - even though these problems already have a significant effect on Zorai politics and serve as an alarming example for all political representatives on Atys.

And now what are you doing, Ranger Aspirant Mac'Od Bittty? Although you're a Ranger aspirant you're still calling on Tryker citizens to invest more time working for their kitin observation camps...

Why is it that some homins think that if they do something, it's the best thing ever; but if others do the same, then it's an absolute no-go and should be condemned?

I sincerely hope that you don't believe that only Rangers should be allowed to think for the good of all of Atys; but everyone else should just keep shtoom about the Ranger's affairs and restrict themselves solely on their own group's business?

I also hope you as a Ranger Aspirant will be wiser than to try to make excuses now for the purpose of continuing with taking liberties that you deny others by blowing up insignificant distinctions into giant differences to justify any lack of sympathy for others.

Instead I hope that by considering your own feelings you will come to understand that many of us homins, no matter if loyal to any nation or not, feel just the same. Many of us love this world, all of Atys. We also wish all peaceful homins living on it the best, especially our friends and acquaintances.

If you can understand this now then all of us who are willing to will be able to work together for a shining future for all nations and groups in the future. Thank you for reading this.

A quickly scrawled note is posted beneath Zhoi's note.

Zhoi --

The two situations you describe in your letter are not parallel at all.

Please note that I posted my original note only in Fairhaven, not in Yrkanis, Zora or Pyr. Why? Because I am a Tryker of the sap and have my residence in Fairhaven and as such I have certain rights under the Constitution of New Trykoth. These rights include free speech.

I am a Tryker. I will be a Tryker even if I become a Ranger. I have a certain pride in my race and culture, even as I acknowledge that other races and cultures are worthy of support as well.

My posted letter was not an interference with the politics of another Nation -- it was not even an interference in the politics of the Tryker Nation. It was a rhetorical device -- a call to action on the part of the citizens of New Trykoth, my fellow Trykers in sap and also their guildmate Trykers by adoption. My letter here disrupted no meetings, made no demands, blamed no individuals, and pointed out the positive actions of Tryker non-citizens.

In short (*) I see no hypocrisy, no double-standard. I stand by my words as uttered in Ranger assembly and I stand by the words that I posted here in this public, Tryker, space.

-- Mac'Od Bittty

(*) Well, I am a Tryker -- it would have to be short.

==========

(OOC/HRP: The posting was also a way to point out to players who might not have known that the harvesting and delivery missions were paying out dappers.)

Atys'ata, dear Mac'Od Bittty!

It makes me very sad to read such words from a Ranger of all homins, who I thought would be the most likely ones to understand that all nations and groups working together will lead us to a better future - instead of telling others to stay on their turf and that they should not care for each other...

I've heard such explanations as yours before; making up excuses to justify why it's "alright" to criticize others harshly for doing practically the same thing as oneself, which is - of course - viewed as the "best thing ever".

In short explanations like these might be summarized as:
"What you are doing is WRONG.
What I am doing is RIGHT.
So whatever we do, it can never ever be the "same thing"."

Even if you choose to look at the differences and what separates us, I still see what connects us and is similar in us - all of us homins.

Once I admired the Rangers as the one organization that looks at the larger picture, that cares for hominkind in it's entirety; and organization that has once been said to consist only of Atys citizens who want to help all nations and make them stand together.

What has become of the Rangers nowadays? How are they viewing the nations and their representatives today? And where do the Rangers plan to go in the future?

Zhoi, Awakened and Ambassador of the Theocracy
