Bob Ilyani Posted February 26, 2012 Report Share Posted February 26, 2012 I was hoping your MDoAP reveal would actually be someone important. Shame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your implication that AGW was less than important because the speed in which they signed a MDoAP with you was made by you, not by me.

Monster Posted February 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2012 No, that wasn't my implication. You're just putting your best efforts to paint me in a negative light. The point rather is, major alliances tend to be bogged down in procedure and I didn't ask any of them for an MDoAP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monster Posted February 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2012 I meant "major" as in the political game. They're not a big political alliance and that's not hard to see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Congratulations, guys! [/quote] That's not how I took it based on his reaction to the initial question. The way it came across to me was more of a "This is all I could get on short notice" type of response. However, everyone entitled to their own opinion. That's what makes this world great, right? Now, the better question is how Sparta feels after having kicked him out to see him treatied to an ally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schattenmann Posted February 27, 2012 Report Share Posted February 27, 2012 Are you seriously trying to leverage statements of fact? AGW [i]is [/i]both minor and unimportant; picking them makes sense for the reasons cited in addition to the other obvious advantages. If you want to start an alliance [i]now[/i], you don't ask some monolithic bureaucracy, you ask a nimble alliance. Good luck, Roq. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Yes, it isn't at all possible Roquentin used the quotation marks to highlight the word was not his but someone elses'. Trying to attribute someone elses' words to Roquentin then ridicule him for it is pretty lame. I doubt he considers AGW unimportant at all else he'd have not signed the treaty.

Monster Posted February 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2012 (edited) Well said. Schatt pointed it out, and nimble is the best way to describe it. I always favored being nimble within Umbrella and did not like being bogged down in procedure like "our members have to chit chat about blahblahblah" in order to be friends or "let's argue it out for 3 weeks even though we're going to do it anyway."

[/quote] So nimble all it takes to form a treaty is to contact the leader of a band of nomads without even a forum home. Nimble enough to defend Paraguas if anyone attacks them? That would be interesting to see. Basically, Paraguas is still treaty-less. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
