Notes from Baghdad Bob

Umm. You do realize I've been in milcom too, right? And that I absolutely do know what I'm doing?

I mean if you'd rather keep a 1,000 NS nation in war for 3 more days before letting him slip to peace, than take out a guy who's been nuking dozens of your members... go for it. I'll make the smart decision and take the bigger threat out every time.

I realize what you're saying.. and it'd make sense if we were talking about a 50k NS nation... but we're not. It's not my fault if you just operate on what you've been told: "Never ever give peace to someone to let them escape to peace mode ever." Sometimes you have to think a bit, Locke. Giving peace to a 1,000 NS nation a few days early has a much lower consequence to the war effort than taking out a guy who's going around nuking tons of your defenseless members.

Or you give them peace via established surrender terms while in contact with your government rather than acting on your own. Yes, WasDrogan was the more hazardous target, but that doesn't mean you abandon the command structure to do so. People who think they know better, whether they do or not, are just a headache for anyone trying to manage a war machine.

Again, so glad I don't have to deal with every military "genius" who plays by his own rules anymore and I can leave the wrangling to more patient people.

Established surrender terms take too long to enact and enforce. It's a 1,000 NS nation. Get over it.

Oh, and by the way, I was told to hit Wasdrogan by our government and ran my plans to do so by them. And I don't see anyone from VE milcom complaining about the way I made it happen. Because I'm sure each and every one of them (and anyone with even a little bit of intelligence) would have done the same thing in my case. They know that I know what I'm doing. And they have no issue with that.

I have no idea how you made it into milcom with those rose-tinted glasses you're wearing.

You keep worrying about getting the guy sitting there all bloody and defeated to 'OFFICIALLY SURRENDER'. I'll go take care of the person attacking 3 of my friends with a sledgehammer.

Dear Penkala,

I do not know the details of your grievance with WasDrogan, nor do I particularly care, but why are you punishing the rest of us by subjecting us to more of your super insightful and totally fun to read blog posts?

There is a simple solution to this. Can you guess what it is?
