[i][size="3"][font="Book Antiqua"]Old Guard has been watching the expansion of the current war against TOP and IRON with great interest. Old Guard has strong ties to both, and ties to Grämlins as a former Citadel colleague. We know and respect the prodigious accomplishments of Grämlins and its member nations.
The facts, however, are simple and unambiguous. Grämlins has launched an aggressive war against IRON. Although IRON has released Old Guard from any obligation under the IRON Glove Treaty, Old Guard takes its commitments seriously.
Effective immediately, Old Guard is at war with Grämlins to fulfill the promise we made to IRON.
We do not make this declaration lightly. We do not think war is “for lulz,” nor do we relish the prospect that both alliances will suffer grievous losses of infra, tech, land, and military might. Building a nation takes time, effort, and dedication. The mature leader does not risk all s/he has built without reason, and only after careful reflection. To do otherwise is to emulate the petulant three year old who thinks it is fun to destroy a tower of blocks he has carefully built—and then cries because he suddenly realizes what he has done.
Our war aims are simple.
[list]
• We seek the end of hostilities with a white peace as quickly as possible.
• We seek an end to the IRON/Grämlins conflict.
• We seek a return to the status quo ante bellum with respect to the conflict among Old Guard, IRON, and Grämlins.
• We do not seek reparations, nor do we seek the decommissioning of military forces as a price for peace.[/list]
[indent]
Our rules of engagement are equally simple.[/indent]
[list]• We will not attack any Grämlins ally, but will defend ourselves against such attacks.
• We will keep the diplomatic lines of communication open with Grämlins to promote the quick and just resolution of this conflict.[/list]

[indent]Old Guard regrets that it must cross swords with a former colleague and ally. Under the circumstances, we cannot do otherwise.[/indent]

Old Guard. Integrity. Stability. Tradition.

So you're declaring war on the Gramlins but you won't attack them. You don't declare war for lulz and you don't declare war to make attacks. You declare war solely for the srsbsns.



May your pixels live forever!

I note that the testicular fortitude required to declare war on the other partner of the Harmlins isn't present. I note that keenly.

Heh, really? You're calling an alliance out on courage after they declared on Gre?


Anyway, always a bit sad to see former allies bleeding one another. Good luck to both.

"Will not attack Gramlins allies" not equivalent to "will not attack Gramlins".
Please revise and resubmit your original submission.
Thank you.

Actually they stated that they won't attack Gre's allies. This declaration of war is solely for the purpose of achieving peace in the IRON-Gre Front.

It's a sad day to see two former allies and friends and blocmates go to war against their ally. It was very honorable of OG to throw themselves into the fray to lessen the burden on their friends, even when told they could sit out.

That being said, have fun to both parties involved but have more fun Gramlins :awesome:
