Highlights from WCE: Part 11
So begins another glorious chapter in the hunt for the lost CB.
01[19:53] <%TehChron> We can make something else work
01[19:53] <%TehChron> but we need that something else
01[19:53] <%TehChron> You have schattenman
01[19:53] <%TehChron> you have RV
01[19:53] <%TehChron> and you have Chron
01[19:53] <%TehChron> you can make any half-assed argument work
No, actually they can't make any half-assed argument work Chron, they lie and twist at will (and RV is just hysterical)
[19:53] <%pezstar> Look, I know that you're all really gung-ho for some GOON beating.
[19:53] <~Schattenmann> Have you told them 1m is not acceptable yet?
[19:53] <%Rebel_Virginia> Chron is exactly right.
[19:53] <%pezstar> But ALL you have to do is wait until they raid one of your alliances.
[19:53] <%pezstar> That's all you have to do.
[19:53] <%Rebel_Virginia> We're not convincing us.
[19:54] <%Atlashill[invicta]> "Not acceptable"
[19:54] <%Atlashill[invicta]> That's softballing it.
[19:54] <%Atlashill[invicta]> It's a damn insult!
[19:54] <%Rebel_Virginia> We hate GOONS. We could give a crap about a CB.
[19:54] <%Rebel_Virginia> But there are uninvolved parties.
[19:54] <@Daggarz[Nemesis]> we dont have time pezstar
WE DONT HAVE TIME TO THINK THINGS THROUGH THE TIME TO ATTACK IS NOW GOGOGOG
[19:54] <%Rebel_Virginia> If we don't have a CB, we're making a suicide run.
RV, recoiling in horror, finally begins to realize the unintended purpose of the coalition.
[19:54] <%pezstar> GOONS has already signed a treaty with every single alliance in PB.
01[19:54] <%TehChron> you think that a treaty being made in a week is going to make things less viable?
01[19:54] <%TehChron> Then right now?
[19:54] <%pezstar> Those treaties may not be public yet.
01[19:54] <%TehChron> dont be naive
[19:54] <%pezstar> But it's all done.
01[19:54] <%TehChron> the ties are already there
[19:54] <%Rebel_Virginia> We will attack GOONS, get rolled. Maybe doll out some damage, but ultimately get rolled and end up paying GOONS at ton or reps.
01[19:54] <%TehChron> theyll be coming to defend regardless
[19:54] <%Rebel_Virginia> I'd rather we not do that.
We're actually not tied to FOK directly, but PB will be done soon enough anyway. Good eye RV, glad you guys finally are picking up on the "GOONS is going to charge you a lot of money for screwing with them" aspect of our diplomacy.
[20:03] <%Rebel_Virginia> I hear that the guy under attack was former UKOMB or something. The rogue group.
01[20:03] <%TehChron> Did *someone*
01[20:03] <%TehChron> in UPN government agree to it?
[20:03] <%Rebel_Virginia> So while GOONS did ignore diplomatic conventions, they do have a leg to stand on and are able to justify their attack. Somewhat.
01[20:03] <%TehChron> Yes
[20:03] <%Thrash[invicta]> why would anyone agree to some crazy number like 1,000,001?
01[20:03] <%TehChron> but that is mistaken
01[20:03] <%TehChron> because flame pillars apparently was not
01[20:03] <%TehChron> that was their mistake
01[20:03] <%TehChron> a mistake they happily took advantage of?
01[20:04] <%TehChron> that doesnt matter
[20:04] <%Rebel_Virginia> Chron, doesn't matter. Seems like it is enough to convince the swing alliances that GOONS is right.
[20:04] <@Peggy_Sue|UPN> No techchron, nobody in upn gov agreed to it
[20:04] <%Rebel_Virginia> Do we have a CB here?
[20:04] <%WARLORD44[uPN-MoD]> those two gmail accounts check your emails
01[20:04] <%TehChron> No, RV
[20:04] <@Peggy_Sue|UPN> read that log I dumped a foot or so up
01[20:04] <%TehChron> if theyre "lying"
01[20:04] <%TehChron> then they dont have a leg to stand on
01[20:04] <%TehChron> thats critical
01[20:04] <%TehChron> thats what I mean by pertinent information
[20:04] <@Peggy_Sue|UPN> pause, please everyone
01[20:04] <%TehChron> if Flame Pillars was completely innocent
01[20:04] <%TehChron> then we would have an "argument" for a CB
More discussion. They implied we lied about the 1m, when in reality it was just sent and accepted by the two members acting independently. (I did offer to pay the damages of the nation though, if peggy would prefer that {she never contacted me again, probably realized that a nation that it wouldn't total above 1m anyway}). I really wish they had used this as a CB because it is so laughably bad they would have been utterly crushed.
03[20:07] * Voodoo has joined #stratego
03[20:07] * ChanServ sets mode: +h Voodoo
01[20:07] <%TehChron> namely the right to override a nations decision to reject peace
[20:07] <@MrWhiteOcUK> >A wild voodoo appears
[20:07] <%Voodoo> Yes
And here we have IAA, or as I like to call them, diet NpO.
[20:08] <@Peggy_Sue|UPN> what?
01[20:08] <%TehChron> And then tricking the member into accepting peace
[20:08] <@Peggy_Sue|UPN> you're questioning if that is an act of war?
01[20:08] <%TehChron> you heard me
[20:08] <%Rebel_Virginia> We need to make sure this CB is watertight.
01[20:08] <%TehChron> thats the exact question that will come up
01[20:08] <%TehChron> "lol its not a big deal"
[20:08] <%Voodoo> RV, it'll still be !@#$%*ed about
01[20:08] <%TehChron> we need a reason why it IS a big deal
[20:08] <%Rebel_Virginia> And more importantly, and I don't want to ride the coattails of some alliances here just to get at GOONS, but we need to make sure that some alliances such as NpO and STA are completely committed.
Peggy starts up the hysteria engines, while RV becomes more calm and logical, quite dualistic in a way.
[20:10] <%Rebel_Virginia> We cannot assume that everything will go right and that people will join our crusade against GOONS.
[20:10] <%Rebel_Virginia> We want this to succeed.
[20:10] <@Grumpdogg[NpO]> as i said, you're not going to win over GOONS' friends regardless of CB. But I agree its about the 50/50's
01[20:10] <%TehChron> We also can not assume that a lack of treaties means that folks wont be coming in anyway
01[20:11] <%TehChron> against us
[20:11] <%Rebel_Virginia> We do not want to get beat down and pay reps to GOONS, or dance for their amusement to get peace.
A pity RV, I imagine you're quite the dancer, the way you dance around issues on the OWF.
