The Goon Experience

I'm really looking forward to this.

Me too.

Love the sparta-bashing behind their back, and the assumption that we make enemies faster than we make friends.

The funny thing about having logs is that you literally dont have to leap to conclusions about what people meant, as you have their words right there.

I only said you guys would simply piss off more people.

Then again, if you stop doing the crap you've been doing to piss people off to begin with, thus denying people a justification for activating treaties, you'll only enable this WCE to win in the end. Without firing a shot, I may add.

It certainly is easy to win when you change your definition of victory to be whatever the outcome is, eh?

Well, if the express purpose is putting an end to the stuff that makes people consider you a threat to begin with, eliminating the threat of your perceived thuggery up until this point fulfills that condition, doesn't it?

Kind of like how GOONS was able to beat this WCE without firing a shot, only since the involved parties realized it wasn't going to work out. Am I right?

I thought the express purpose was putting an end to GOONS. However, now that you mention it:

(The night of October 4)

[23:59] <Ktarthan> Oh, by the way, I'm calling it now: All the stuff that went down in #[redacted] is an elaborate ploy to get GOONS to get their raiders in check

The thing is, even if this coalition wasn't formed, we'd still be working to get our raiders in check with no less effort. But hey, maybe tonight I'll make a coalition to destroy the sun for being on the other side of the world, and claim victory when it rises tomorrow.

I like how you note that you won't be working any less hard to get your raiders in check as a result of this discussion having taken place. Because that was "absolutely" what I meant.

But hey, you can't disprove the influence your eagerness to deny folks a CB will have on your finally reining in trigger-happy raiders in your alliance. And your analogy makes no sense, since I actually didnt move my goalposts at all.

Actually that is kind of backward from what I said. I noted that we wouldn't be working less hard if the coalition was never formed.

Actually my plan is to find any bait alliances that are put out for us, purposely raid it, then look Schatt straight in the eye and agree to the 90m. Then nobody wins!

And yes, I am tired and I just realized my analogy did not make sense. I am not going to attempt another one, so I'll just say my point explicitly: The WCE can't really be that proud of influencing us to do something that would happen anyways. Yeah sure, call it a victory - but - maybe aim higher next time?
