[quote name='Crymson' date='24 February 2010 - 06:16 AM' timestamp='1266992424' post='2200781'] Wow, Polaris. Your behavior keeps getting more and more unbelievable. In your actions tonight you have broken two more promises: one to this side of the war in general, and, more importantly, a massive one to NSO. You left an ally high and dry. I imagine this is all the work of Grub, and that he's attempting to get Polaris into a good position before turning control over to Penguin. It seems he's doing this with the belief that the slate will promptly be wiped clean when Penguin ascends. I doubt it will work, and I certainly hope nobody buys it. You---the government of Polaris--- are all a bunch of lying, manipulative backstabbers just like Grub; preaching about "duty" in the context of your repeated expressions of disgust at Grub's actions completely invalidates the latter. You are not mindless; you are simply weak. o/ NSO. [/quote] What did you expect? You try to suck up to and gain the support of an alliance that in the past you imposed huge reps on/had members of their government expelled (and, from what I understand, TOP never even apologized for gov removal) because it seems like they might be supportive of a Crusade Against Lulz . The thing is, what Polar is doing now is what it has been doing... since Grub became emperor. You can criticize it (I'm not a big fan), but I'm not quite sure how you could be surprised to see this. It was your own arrogance, blindness and aggression that brought this situation about... or no.... it was all the mean alliances conspiring against TOP and you never had a chance to survive? You are not mindless; you are simply filled with hate.

You said they were planning to sit this out. That was not the case. I made no claims about them hitting TOP/IRON/TORN- I was just making note of your strange claim that CnG wasn't planning to be in the war.

Complete lies are not necessary to prove a point. CnG fully intended to enter the war.

Seems like a definite understatement to me.

Everyone is going ARCHON ARCHON ARCHON, but it's Grub that's really the central figure here. Also, GATO declares war on the Initiative! Fitting.

If only that were true.

Good luck to both sides, have fun blowing each other up, shame seeing my two favorite alliances going at it though it has been obvious it would happen this way for months. Also, good memory Delta. That being said your claim doesn't ring as true.

This is an incredible post. Really cuts through a lot of the mindless rhetoric (being spewed by both sides mind you) that always comes up during global wars.

I'm hoping a certain someone *UE* who is more efficient at stat collecting may be able to get in on this; this is more of a preview than anything else.

Analysis of what? It's certainly useful for analysis of some things.

Yeah, yeah fixed that mistype.

Out of boredom, I decided to check the # of alliance wars per nation for alliances over 3 million NS in the current war. There are two calculations: wars/members and wars/members in war mode. The number not in parenthesis is wars/members in war mode. nota bene: this has more to do with front assignments and how much an alliance has been targeted/deployed more than competence, so please take not of that before trying to troll FOK: 3.16 (1.68) PC: 2.9 (1.67) RnR: 1.80 (1.66) Umbrella: 1.75 (1.17) CSN: 1.17 (1.14) GOD: .47 (.202) Fark: .417 (.398) STA: 2.39 (2.06) NSO: 2.08 (1.97) NpO: 1.71 (1.48) NV: 1.09 (.761) UPN: .48 (.42) GLoF: .327 (.26) Invicta .28 (.26)

Except that is is actually funny.

My comrade meant to be humorous perhaps? Not in the best of taste you could argue, but I can assure you that neither he nor Umbrella supports the destruction of any alliance.
