    Smurth called us out in the OP as well, which I find disappointing from PPO because that either means they are calling us out not knowing the situation or there is some back channel bad mouthing about us we don't know about.

     

    Either way, NSO had a pretty good opinion of PPO and while I'm not officially FA for NSO, I would be pretty surprised if this didn't sour our opinion of them.

     

    In defense of my AA I did add this claimer right after the hashtags:

    Please note, I also called out how pathetic PPO is and that I felt Doom took the easy way out.  If anybody cares (and it isn't important to me if they do), they will notice that the OP hasn't been edited, so I'll stand by the disclaimer.

    Xanth and Smurthwaite, together again, in one alliance.

     

    I always thought PPO was ok but clearly I was wrong. What a collection of degenerate filth.

     

    Thanks for playing! Enjoy your radiation! 

     

    I think you must have missed the part where Xanth and I hugged and promised to bros until we decided not to be bros anymore.

     

    In my defense, I was drunk.

    All that rum! Let me just keep it aside for ya, safekeeping ya know.

     

    <3 Smurth.

     

    I heart you guys.  Also, I appreciate the well wishes, but I'm gonna need more than luck if anybody actually makes good on these supposed counters.  Even selling down, my WC is too small for my NS.

     

    Wait, I'm gonna lose NS.  Problem solved!

    We seriously considering using this trashy"art":

    Then it occurred to us that in today's Bob, nobody appreciates bad art.  Also, Xanth said I screwed up when I went with Dirty Dancing instead of Ghost.  (Honestly, I didn't see Ghost, so you all will have to be the judge of that).

     

    So anyway, back to the task at hand.  Here's the thing Gowfanatic wrote:

    Sorry for the delay on this me hearties. We assembled th’ pirate council and decided ta start with a drink before gettin’ on with the voting. And if ye be a betting man, ye may be smart to wager one turned t’ several. 

    There’s talk of “karma” and “retribution.” But let’s leave the fancy words for those who be carin’ for them. It be seemin’ that some friends have found themselves under cannon fire. And we pirate's be havin a code. So we are raising the mainsail, weighin’ anchor, and after stashing the excess rum, we be making sail for Sea of Grata. 

     

    Some of us think he may have been into the booze a bit deep, but what the hell, we're pirates.  We wanted Polar but realized with NG, Oculus would counter, and Oculus is more badass than Polar.  

     

    Also, I was 17 days inactive until yesterday, so I learned about this right around 24 hours ago.  Apparently the rest of you have literally known about this for days.  If you didn't, you should have by now, as we had one or maybe three of nations blitz before I posted this.  Those weren't errant.  Those were our blitz.

     

    We in PPO know what we are getting ourselves into.  We know who is countering.  We know what to expect.  We have no illusions, but we refuse to leave an ally to burn alone.

     

    I feel as though I may be letting many of you down with the quality of the DoW.  Understand it isn't up to my usual mischievous antics and general tomfoolery.  I told you I only had a little bit of time.  That said,

    It was too late to go with Ghost, but how about a small snippet from Good Will Hunting?

    Sean: My father was an alcoholic. Mean $#@!in' drunk. Used to come home hammered, looking to whale on someone. So I would provoke him, so he wouldn't go after my mother and little brother. Interesting nights were when he wore his rings...

    Will: He used to just put a belt, a stick, and a wrench on the kitchen table and say, "Choose."

    Sean: Well, I gotta go with the belt there, Vanna.

    Will: I used to go with the wrench.

    Sean: Why?

    Will: Cause @#$! him, that' why.

     

    As is standard practice, and a delightful custom in PPO, we blame Xanth.  Please feel free to do so as well.

    Admiralty

    Lurunin

    Gowfanatic

    Jraison (He has some stuff going on so we enacted a clause in the charter that put somebody else in the Admiralty until he can come back to us)

    Xanth (We put him here so this is totally his fault)

     

    Commanders

    SpliceVW

    Redarmy

    Xanth - this is where he really belongs, in IA

    Smurthwaite - I'll probably be fired for the poor quality of this DoW.

     

    And the 2.7 other members we were able to shake out of a slumber and attempt this sad example of a blitz.

     

     

     

    Mandatory Lame Pirate Joke (Gowfanatic threatened me if I didn't include it.  Again, I wish to offer my apologies):

    Where’s a pirate’s favourite place to eat?
    Arrrrrbys!

     

     

     

    Also, we're pirates, so here is some rum.

    (Also, some of us old pirates would like to petition that wars only be fought when we don't have to get up in the morning.  Update "blitz" is not for old pirates).

    You are still not admitting that you were wrong about roguing and raiding. Thats ok. You dont need to admit anything.

     

    So, if I've read this correctly, and I'm not going to lie and say I read it closely, the real difference is the in declaration reason?  "Raid" keeps it from being rogueing?  Or maybe it's the difference between the victim of the raid and the perpetrator?   Get over yourself, man.
