But really, all those stats mean squat. We know whom we are dealing with here. FAN will not roll over. They have proven they may be defeated, but they will not be beaten. Those who know us, know that we possess the same resolve. Two stubborn $@! foes meet on the battlefield does anyone actually win? Well, if you think like we do in that the guy whom eats the most nukes and racks up the most casualties wins.. Then we will all win for sure. What we desire is an opponent whom is honorable and worthy. We have without a doubt found that. Many of us have always respected the skills of FAN, and we will never underestimate their will. o/ to war! -Tron(definite fun)ix [/quote] That's the kind of attitude I like to square off against. No BS posturing or insults, just mutual respect for a talented foe and the determination on both sides to win. Let's have fun guys. O>

[quote name='Methrage' date='31 January 2010 - 10:17 PM' timestamp='1264997822' post='2149537'] That's quite a few alliances you expect to dishonor their treaties who now have a good CB on you, it will be interesting to see what they do. [/quote] Zoom! another one goes over your head again.

[quote name='WarriorConcept' date='31 January 2010 - 10:05 PM' timestamp='1264997124' post='2149498'] Maybe they're hoping IRON's allies will actually defend IRON? [/quote] oh crap, I didn't think about that. Man, I really hope none of their treaty partners hit us, us being so vulnerable and all....

[quote name='ChairmanHal' date='31 January 2010 - 09:38 PM' timestamp='1264995495' post='2149402'] When an alliance and its allies are already fighting at a near 3 to 1 disadvantage and you insist on declaring war on them anyway because you decide they are a "threat", it is opportunism and taking advantage of a situation. Your code and charter must be an interesting read. If it mentions honor, it certainly doesn't mean what you think it does. [/quote] I notice that your sig says you're a veteran of the FAN-WUT war. IIRC we were around a 10 to 1 disadvantage in that case, so you're a fine one to be talking.

Crap. I had it in Alliance announcements but got logged out when I hit submit, I had to resubmit and clicked on the wrong forum. MY bad. Can I have a mod move this to Alliance announcements?

I assure you he WILL post something when he gets back for your amusement. However as Commander of FAN's military forces, I am going to state our case, which is: We were cool with IRON and had put the past behind us, until IRON attacked our friends. Now FAN hates IRON. IRON deserves to die. Therefore, FAN is going to help kill IRON. After all, we DID give you plenty of warning: [url]http://z15.invisionfree.com/Cyber_Nations/index.php?showtopic=81241&hl=[/url] Oh, and for those of you inclined to refer to us as bandwagoners, well, ain't it funny how life comes back to bite you on the $@!? ETA: wait a minute, talking about bandwagoners, according to this screenshot we even got declared on from the frackin' MOON back in VietFAN? %$#& me.

Your nation is only 361 days old and 5,999 infra, I just don't see how that's possible. ETA: 97 bucks a day with 51k citizens? even if you're in the middle of a sled it still wouldn't work out. You'd have to be netting over 10 mil a day for the last year to do that. Obvious shop is obvious. Although you did have me going for a second.

So much for drinkin' and postin....

Personally I can't think of a better name for what's happened tonight. What say you Digiterra denizens?

I make a motion to name it the Derp war. Derp:A simple, undefined reply when an ignorant comment or action is made. Brought to life in the South Park series, when Mr. Derp made a guest apperance at South Park Elementary as the chef for a day, followed by hitting himself in the head with a hammer and exclaiming "Derp!"

And a rhetorical one as well.

If people don't defend their treaty partners, then what's the point of having a treay?

If everyone waits til their friends get hit, then NO ONE will get hit, and what's the fun in that?

Timber! thanks for the love baby. We need to catch up again on IRC some time.

No I agree, to attempt to actually enforce it would be stupid as it would get his alliance stomped in short order. However, NOT enforcing it makes him look weak and impulsive, so the OP put himself in a lose/lose situation that he's now trying to crawfish out of. All in all, a pretty good example of how NOT to handle this problem.
