thekirbyfake Posted November 2, 2013 Report Share Posted November 2, 2013 Bit disappointed that they didn't make this thing official and make a proper announcement but I guess that's how they roll. No doubt we'll be branded rogues but you'll note that TE declared on us. Yes, we spied on them to gather info but that was merely info for a client. No harm was done. When our task was completed it escalated into more serious spy attacks from both sides but it was tit for tat. Again nothing which was really harming either side. I've spoken with our client and he has offered support, both military and diplomatic, but I have declined at this stage. UOKMB have got this.

Roadie Posted November 2, 2013 Report Share Posted November 2, 2013 I don't know why TE didn't hammer you far sooner than they did. You did an impressive and war provoking amount of spying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thekirbyfake Posted November 2, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 2, 2013 I don't know why TE didn't hammer you far sooner than they did. You did an impressive and war provoking amount of spying. Probably because (apart from 2-3 nations) their war chests didn't really have the appetite for a fight. Nevertheless, they're here now and we'll deal with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yuurei Posted November 2, 2013 Report Share Posted November 2, 2013 You say it as if spying is in some way acceptable if doing it at someone else's request. I'd have continued to ignore you had it only been for info, but when you escalated to causing damages, then it was you that started an undeclared war. We are merely responding to your unprovoked aggression. You are no martyr here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thekirbyfake Posted November 2, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 2, 2013 I'm certainly not claiming to be a martyr. The spying escalation was on both sides. TE struck the first blow when Nexus killed my spies on 24th. He wasn't caught but it was within 15 seconds of his other spy attack so it doesn't take a genius to work out who did it. We knew any spying could be considered aggression, even our info gathering mission, but we believed we were being adequately compensated so we rolled the dice and we are where we are.

Zero-One Posted November 2, 2013 Report Share Posted November 2, 2013 3 nations do not constitute a legitimate alliance, nor does it require a thread when you get what you deserved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wes the wise Posted November 2, 2013 Report Share Posted November 2, 2013 Terran Empire, let us know if there anything we can do to help. UOKMB, TTE are reasonable people, they are a defensive alliance, spying is aggression and so now you are at war with them. I think your "client" has taken advantage of you.

The irony of you perpetuating the "non-deserved" thread by posting on it is not lost by our alliance. Yeah, that's right, I said alliance. I went there.

Sardonic Posted November 2, 2013 Report Share Posted November 2, 2013 Yes it does. This might startle you to learn but people and alliances come to their own conclusions on what an alliance is. And some of those conclusions might be significantly different from your own! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil Coulson Posted November 2, 2013 Report Share Posted November 2, 2013 So you spy on them, they attack you for it, and they're the bad guy. What'd you expect them to do, give you a gift basket? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said have fun TTE. Quite the contrary, the structural definition of an alliance as defined by admin (ooc: game mechanics) is irrelevant for the purposes of defining an alliance as legitimate or not in the eyes of the political leaders here. Is anyone even protecting this group? VVVVV I'm going to assume that wasn't directed towards me. VVVVV Edited November 2, 2013 by Sardonic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hereno Posted November 2, 2013 Report Share Posted November 2, 2013 This is really only made possible by the fact that everybody is looking forward to the global and doesn't have time to deal with Terran Empire. Your alliance is garbage, and your leaders are cowardly mayors who think themselves presidents. The only difference between you and this 3-man AA is numbers, and I look forward to them bloodying your ignorant noses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

White Chocolate Posted November 2, 2013 Report Share Posted November 2, 2013 I see nothing wrong with how TTE has responded to this, including not posting a DoW. The reason NOT posting was a smart move is that there is a much more interesting war going on at the moment and no one cares about something this small at this time. During a slow war period, it might be entertainment for some people. Not now. It may startle you but others have posted with the same numbers and less, doesn't matter what us bob-dwellers think when the overlords in the sky say otherwise.The flip side of this argument is that the overlords in the sky don't require an alliance to make a DoW before attacking another alliance. So the entire discussion about what is or is not an "alliance" really makes no difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
