[quote name='Yevgeni Luchenkov' timestamp='1344746551' post='3021079'] Just about a year late. [/quote] To be honest, I agree with you. At the same time, however, I think it speaks a lot that neither of us were willing to discard this tie that quickly. We have a long history together, and still a lasting friendship between a great number of our nations.

It's a shame things had to come to this... But I think they really did [i]have[/i] to come to this. VE's not the same alliance it was all those years ago when this tie was forged, many of the people who made the tie so strong have already succumbed to deletion. I wish you nothing but the best continuing on in your new direction, Viridia; and while I think it would be incorrect to extend my friendship to the whole of the alliance, there are still dear friends in your ranks.

Good fighting to NPO! And a special shoutout to Kristospherein who kept on going even though he was caught without GC's. Might not have been smart, but can't help but respect those guts. o7

Well you stayed in longer than VE did. I guess that counts for something.

[quote name='Enamel32' timestamp='1341257796' post='3001885'] It's unfortunate Umbrella didn't have this policy in the last war. [/quote] Yes they did. While I might disagree with their decision not to enter on VE's behalf (and, let's face it, I'm more than a little biased on the subject) it's certainly no different than how they've acted previously, nor, to be honest, is that different from how most alliances act in a coalition war. As a Spartan, I'm sure you can understand the necessity of picking some allies over others in a large-scale war.

Honestly, hate is far too strong of a term for what I, and most others I've talked to, feel for NPO. Not that I'm shedding any tears over the nukes I'm lobbing their way, but my feelings for that alliance are somewhere around "contempt" or "distrust."

Welcome to the show!

A shame we never had a chance to give you what you had coming. One less thing to keep me interested in CN Oh well, best of luck with the rest of your life.

[quote name='Farrin Xies' timestamp='1340687537' post='2996812'] You're right, it didn't. You could have, I dunno, not hit one of our allies. Edit: Mary actually said that, I just stole it from her. [/quote] Your allies could have, I dunno, not hit one of our allies.

[quote name='trimm' timestamp='1340686279' post='2996743'] That is an utterly disingenuous statement in the context that he was speaking in, and you know it. [/quote] No, the context is just commonly misunderstood. Goose made an excellent post somewhere or another about what actually went down with that whole affair. I'm a little busy with the war at the moment, but I'll see if I can't track it down for you when I have some free time.

A shame you didn't have classier allies. It didn't have to be this way.

[quote name='Bordiga' timestamp='1340681630' post='2996436'] I remember that Xiphosis pushed CSN into demanding those reparations, in fact he was the one who came up with the absurd "ODP's aren't treaties" line. And that people like yourself and Nofish argued the most against those who rightly saw that treatment of DT as despicable. I don't deny CSN was to blame, but GOD backed them all the way. The dishonesty of GOD members never ceases, does it? Never say what you actually think, just try to attack your opponent for some secondary issue. Is there a GOD debating handbook you lot all read from? [/quote] GOD supported our allies in a time of war. Great. C'mon, I'm sure you can think of something more evil than that that we've been doing.

Okay, great, you don't like us for something we did more than four years ago. Got it. And people say [i]we[/i] hold a grudge for too long.

[quote name='Bordiga' timestamp='1340668600' post='2996311'] I don't think I have ever read any statement with less sincerity and more hypocrisy than what you just wrote, Xiphosis. For those who have no idea about anything, this is an example of the morality of Xiphosis: Xiphosis, defender of honour, decency, and the right for his members not be requested for sanctions after nuking their tech-raid victims. Burn in hell, you pig. [/quote] Is that really the best you can do? A DoW from [i]four years ago[/i]? If Xiph and GOD are really such evil people, surely you can find something more relevant. PS - As has been said hundreds if not thousands of times, our member got nuked first. At the time the nuclear reports screen only showed the most recent interaction between two nations, i.e. the retaliatory nuke fired in response.

[quote name='Rebel Virginia' timestamp='1340600907' post='2995417'] [color="#0000FF"]Is Xiphypoo lecturing the Kingdom on the nature of class? Ha! He is but a vulgar little snake that knows nothing of decency. Who is he to speak against an organization composed of such gentle figures as Voytek, Detlev, and Inst?[/color] [/quote] Will you please stop calling him that? That's [i]my[/i] pet name for him. It's His Royal Highness, Princess Xiphina to the rest of you heathens.
