[quote name='Brehon' timestamp='1346649854' post='3027590'] Is that the best you got? Try again. Quite disappointing. The actual line is: While I am sure you get some pleasure out of trying to be cute (you failed), you didn't even have the decency to quote it and spin it, you just avoided the line, the paragraph and intent to grab 3 words. Not even clever, you can go back under your rock now. [/quote] I think you missed my point, sir. I know what the line was; everyone did. To say that it is abhorrent for Pacifica to ever lie to itself is what real irony is. I wasn't cherry-picking to make a point, as you seem to think I was. I apologize for not being more clear.

[quote name='Brehon' timestamp='1346125476' post='3025874'] <snip> lying to ourselves <snip>[/quote] I am very literally [i]staggered[/i] by the irony here.

[quote name='BloodFury' timestamp='1344643224' post='3020626'] Why in the world would you do this? Terrible decision on The Combine's part. You should be ashamed. [/quote] Now that's a bit much. Ashamed? I mean, it [i]is[/i] Starfox, but still. Why don't we just bring it down a notch. [quote name='BloodFury' timestamp='1344643312' post='3020629'] Bright? Bright with nuclear glow you mean. [/quote] I've never heard this joke before. It is funny to me. [quote name='Stonewall Jaxon' timestamp='1344643816' post='3020637'] This is good to see. I hope you realize the target on both of your backs grows ever stronger, and I hope you revel in it. [/quote] Yes, yes. I support this post. [quote name='Jake Liebenow' timestamp='1344650375' post='3020702'] This is possibly the most laughable treaty in the entirety of Planet Bob at the moment. [/quote] Why's that? Because they'll actually defend each other if required?

The deplorable oversight of the Dramanations Meter makes this, at best, 4/10.

[quote name='Laslo Kenez' timestamp='1343899356' post='3017800'] You think a lot of yourself, but nope. It was pretty obvious you guys weren't coming in about a month ago. [/quote] [quote name='Laslo Kenez' timestamp='1343924466' post='3017862'] Polar posters are clearly substituting actual military action for posts in this thread that completely miss the mark. Lashing out much? [/quote] You need to decide if you think there's absolutely no way we're coming in or if we can be baited into a declaration. You're really starting to look schizophrenic, the way you're jumping all over the place here.

[quote name='Laslo Kenez' timestamp='1343867601' post='3017682'] I don't really see what you're getting at here, to be honest. ODN face various enemies, want peace on their terms, but as it stands those enemies sensibly seek to deny them that. We have some strength left that'd be useful, so we're going to try to push it along, as a sensible ally also does. Nobody is acting particularly irrationally or out of order here. They have a strategy (not sure it's the right one, but that's for an entirely different time) and then we come up with what we have in response. Are we finished? Seems like all that remains is really to argue whether our presence will [s]push Legion out[/s] draw Polar in. And I hope it does! [/quote] I'm sure that's what you meant.

[quote name='Laslo Kenez' timestamp='1343781994' post='3017391'] Legion are still at war with ODN, though. Peace obviously wasn't imminent (since we're still at war now, and will still be tomorrow, and probably the day after), and if ODN want peace by their terms, then GATO does what it can to get them peace by their terms. It's not opportunism or some effort to look like a hard-ass or anything of the sort, it's just war-time coalition work. [/quote] "It's not opportunism, it's not false bravado... We're merely helping ODN do what they're not strong enough to do on their own!" You're making your allies look [i]fantastic.[/i]

[quote name='Pingu' timestamp='1343758270' post='3017306'] This discussion seems like a magnet for the louder-mouthed brand of Polaroid. I wonder why that should be. Are you looking for a particular response? Is this part of a broader strategy to, ahem, look like a badass without risking any sweet, sweet pixels? [/quote] The folly of democracy on full display. Shame on me for thinking that you had more than "I'm rubber and you're [i]glue[/i]" at your intellectual disposal.

Attacking during peace talks? Sure, why not? I'm not surprised to see GATO picking a wounded alliance to take to school. Gotta protect all those sweet, sweet pixels and still look like a badass, right?

[quote name='Lord Curzon' timestamp='1343586430' post='3016746'] thanks for the vote of confidence homie. Look at you, still alliance hoping? Way to keep swinging. [/quote] Still Polar. I don't remember you from my orange aberration, but it's always nice to meet a fan.

Look at TORN still doing stuff. Way to hang in there.

I don't get it.

Very reasonable terms.

Oh, good lord. Welcome to the world. The exit's that way.

I'm glad to see you still kicking about, Comrade!
