[quote]MDoAP with Valhalla MDoAP with Nueva Vida MDoAP with Nordreich MDP with Symphony Protectorate agreement with Flying Hellfish United Protectorate agreement with Blackhorse Protectorate agreement with Rodentia Dominatus[/quote] Does this imply a withdrawal from NOIR?

Hail to the bossman, he served us well. No bird has ever led an alliance better.

Finally get to watch a commentary of myself! Thanks again for all the work SickO and hope you decide to do a second season. I wouldn't mind helping to organize if you like.

Wow, I'm behind on my TOOL news. How long has GK not been Lord Captain Guy and how long has Bama been back in gov?

[quote name='Lusitan' timestamp='1301074844' post='2676131'] Technically they did, but not because of what Lord Brendan said. [/quote] Do explain then. It seems like a pretty straightforward violation to me. MK's attacks on NSO began before those terms were signed if that's what you're referring to.

[quote name='Richard Rahl' timestamp='1301072707' post='2676114'] What does TOP have to do with whether or not their original surrender terms were broken? We defended MK, we didn't take reps, we didn't say anything about breaking terms. Shove off. [/quote] Your government's signature is on these terms.

[quote name='bedeur' timestamp='1301057810' post='2675996'] You absolutely didn't break the terms and fully complied to the peace treaty we all signed. But might makes right and of course nobody expected MK and TOP to actually be honest and respectable about it. Congrats on sticking with NSO and I'm sorry you had to bite the bullet on this forced and ridiculous apology. [/quote] Entering the DH-NPO War was very clearly a violation of terms. [quote]2. The parties of NV, GLOF, WAPA, Colossus, Quantum, AB, CD, TFD, NATO, TNG, TPC, and DDM agree to not re-enter on any point in the current conflict surrounding NpO or NPO. These parties may defend against an alliance who DoWs (or equivalent) against their treatied allies after these terms are posted. [/quote]

[quote name='Sam Winters' timestamp='1300846606' post='2673493'] We'll be seeing a big jump from the Commonwealth. 22 days post war. Can't wait to see their epic back-collects! [/quote] Well our growth did pick up substantially in the past few days. I jumped 23k strength on the 14th myself. Alliance-wide it's not what I was hoping for, but we've had a lot of members going off to new places or deleting (one 1400 day old member who always takes the side opposite me in debates is leaving ).

[quote name='Haflinger' timestamp='1300859408' post='2673638'] That's nothing new as a claim; actually one might recall people saying Vox were on permazi because they were at war as well. [/quote] But most (all?) Vox members actually [i]were[/i] on perma-ZI lists. They couldn't just accept individual surrender terms and be done with it, which NPO members can do if they like.

[quote name='Letum' timestamp='1300856212' post='2673606'] The problem with trying to translate the "real world" into CN is that you have to make such sweeping generalizations that everything involved loses its meaning. The point of the propaganda is that Pearl Harbour gives the image of an unprovoked attack, and he is using that same image here. [/quote] That's what I'm saying, it wasn't a good choice because that isn't the image I got. I guess it isn't the worst of HHAYD's propaganda. A Poland analogy would be better (ironically, I think Doomhouse themselves have already made it! ).

[quote name='HHAYD' timestamp='1300854867' post='2673595'] During WWII, US sold quite a bit of iron, steel and oil to Japan before enforcing an embargo. Embargoes are usually not an act of war, but Japan didn't see it that way. Then there's something else that Japan and Doomhouse expected with their attack but didn't get. I don't think you got it either. [/quote] Look at things from a CN perspective: Japan has a MDP with Germany America is providing massive amounts of aid to countries at war with Germany Japan declares war on America Whether Lend Lease etc. is justification for war in the real world is not something we should really be debating here, but if WW2 happened in CN, Japan attacking America would be seen as legitimate by pretty much everyone. Hence it is a bad analogy to make for CN-related propaganda.

[quote name='HHAYD' timestamp='1300852248' post='2673563'] [img]http://img859.imageshack.us/img859/3763/prop28.png[/img] (If you don't know WWII history, shame on you.) [/quote] Maybe if I were an American I'd interpret this piece differently, but you seem to be implying that NPO was already providing NpO & co with massive amounts of aid and that attacking them was legitimate.

I would venture to say that NPO is about as much of a threat to Doomhouse as NADC was to BLEU.
