Okay, so been hearing some rumors about this lately. I'm currently in a hotel and in Peace Mode so there's nothing I can really do but change my AA to Veridian Entente POW for a few hours. But anyway, apparently some of our more... *ahem* junior, members attacked random NPO and VE nations for lulz, and now we're all screwed. Join us on #GDI for a goodbye party at 11pm CN time. Seeya tomorrow, when all this crap is over and I finally get home. (bad timing?) =.=

Actually, one of your more junior members attacked NPO, someone from VE defended him. Ryan threatened VE instead of being cooperative about it. Another GDI nation attacked the VE nation. Ryan continued to threaten VE instead of trying to resolve the conflict. VE declared on GDI.

I don't think you need much in the way of goodbye parties.
Ryan might not get off so easy, but I don't think VE's planning on forcibly disbanding you or anything.

Hooray, so the 1 week trip to San Francisco was a total failure. Luckily, I'm back. So... We're still probably all screwed. But I'm gonna go ahead and put myself in war mode. I spelled Viridian "Veridian" by the way, I'm going to change that...

So, I just re-read my messages... When I noticed this:
QUOTE
At this point, our allies have stepped up to the plate in defending us against the impossible, and I need to know where we stand. If you've ever given a damn for the alliance, this would be the time to show it.
If the war doesn't strike worry into you, this may: If I don't see enough people care for the alliance tomorrow night, I won't care for the alliance either, leaving you to VE for 2 weeks before humiliatingly surrendering to this nightmare.
I don't want to come off like this, but it's do-or-die time. Either put the effort forward to keep strong, or fall under.
We can do this.
Ryan
This is no way to threat your alliance Ryan. You're the captain of the boat with multiple holes in her hull this is the S.S. G.D.I., and you're going down with us, whether you like it or not. I refuse to accept any terms V.E. gives to us until I've had my fill of war. I'm also switching my AA back to GDI. A message to Ryan: If nobody actually cares about this alliance and you abandon us, I will ignore your orders and instate myself as temporary Supreme Commander to lead the GDI and her allies until you do something about this nightmare.

RyanGDI is a coward in this game if he hides in peace mode while the alliance he created gets humiliated(again) and destroyed.

I was one of those folks that gave RyanGDI some credit for the reasons of the second part of that statement. However, if you notice I used the past tense. See, the first part of that statement and that message you posted evaporates that credit.
He wants you and the rest of GDI and apparently anyone else who's willing to throw themselves on the pyre burn for his lack of judgment. That's no leader, decent or otherwise. That's a flat out coward.

I'll remind you that you are the one who broached the subject. However before I let it lie for now, I'd highly suggest that you give thought to following through on your threat to wrest power from the coward in command. Nations get burned for the mistakes of alliance leaders after all. His cowardice and general ill-behavior is getting quite a few people blown up.
Apparently not him though.

Running out on an alliance that trusts you with their nations isn't quite small enough to be one of those "experience getters."

For the amount of errors he makes, he sure doesn't seem to have the experience to minimize, much less avoid them altogether. RyanGDI is a failure of a leader. He will swing his alliance around like some kind of sword, despite it being little more than a wifflebat, and hide as soon as it hits something harder than a snowball. Hopefully the GDI membership will come to their senses, and escape the trainwreck that is RyanGDI's leadership.
