Nonymguy Posted July 8, 2010 Report Share Posted July 8, 2010 A few months ago I posted a deceleration of existence of the new /b/. Things were bumpy to say the least. Our alliance was dropping and gaining members at equal rates, and stayed around just below 20 nations. Then things smoothed out and aside from the occasional tech-raid on a member of the alliance by rogue, unaligned nations, it was business as usual; tech deals, trade circles, peace treaties. Well as of about two weeks ago, a number of GOONS alliance nations decided to start swarming and ganging up on most of /b/. We didn't have any official protectorate in place. I made some unsanctioned statements, and in the end to avoid being ground to dust, I set up a deal and folded all the members of my alliance into Athens, and we now all follow Londo. Just thought I would inform anyone interested who was not already aware. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gamemaster1 Posted July 8, 2010 Report Share Posted July 8, 2010 Wow, into Athens? Why doesn't that surprise me... Merging into Athens must be the cool thing to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChairmanHal Posted July 8, 2010 Report Share Posted July 8, 2010 Please insert the usual statements regarding /b/ history, GOONS forcing small alliances into protectorate situations, usually within the grand treaty web causing further stagnation, etc., etc. Hopefully Athens is a good fit for you.

Nonymguy Posted July 8, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2010 Eh, it was that, try to survive the war until GOONS got bored with bombing us, or write some silly story and post it on their forum. They basically wanted us to disappear or be humiliated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then when they get raided and don't know what to do, don't fight on their behalf, offer them to join you and fall in line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nonymguy Posted July 8, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2010 So yeah, technically the /b/ alliance no longer exists (aside from the stragglers who never changed their alliance designation) But since we moved into Athens, you can think of us like a cult within Athens who still worship our old gods.

You must not care about your alliance very much if you can't write a comedic short story to save its life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
