[quote name='Arrnea' date='12 April 2010 - 02:19 PM' timestamp='1271074745' post='2257280'] Well, I guess that just puts to paper what has been true for a long time. Can't say I'm surprised to see this happen. [/quote] - I really don't understand what you're saying now. Oh, and good luck arexes.

Nice milestone, guys. I had expected nothing less of you, with a good guy like SirDog as your leader.

[quote name='Stetson' date='19 March 2010 - 08:56 PM' timestamp='1269028560' post='2230481'] Kriek, did you honestly just say that your move to purple which cost you 1/4th of the alliances in your bloc, encouraged bloc unity? Anyway, congratulations Invicta and Iunctus, hopefully this is the beginning of a long and fruitful friendship. [/quote] It's pretty foolish to pretend like you know what happened, when you obviously don't. This move by Iunctus saddens me a little, however I realize that their vision on planet bob has changed dramatically in the last 6 months to a year. I wish our former allies all the best, and hope that they considered the possible implications of this. Good luck guys.

[quote name='MCRABT' date='19 March 2010 - 02:16 PM' timestamp='1269004591' post='2230241'] Needs less ikMark, grats to the MTF and GFL. [/quote] Do I know you? Have I ever had a conversation with you? Not trying to be rude, but I honestly have no idea who you are or how you know me.

Today, we announce his replacement. He is a wise man, a brilliant leader and someone with a lot of experience. Congratulations [color=purple][b]GoFastLeft[/b][/color], you are now officially an iFOK Triumvir! We would like to thank Bartimaeus46 for his hard work, and we're more than happy that he will remain one of us.

Argh. For once in my life, I actually say something semi-nice about the both of you.. and yet, certain people feel the need to insult us. Corinan, the whole ghetto thing is getting old. I understand your frustration and hatred, I mean.. things aren't quite going how you want them to go, and there's nothing you can do about it. I would definitely be frustrated over that, as well. I repeat what I said earlier; NSO and Invicta, Good luck with each other.

Who are you, and what have you done to Chad?

[quote]P.S. We'd also like to thank the fearless forces of iFOK for supporting us in our crusade against the scourge that is UIR. [/quote] Well thank you. It's always nice to receive some gratitude. [size="1"](But yeah, he's a ghost and all that.)[/size]

I am very pleased to see these 2 fine alliances 'simplify' the treaty web. I wish the both of you good luck with each other.

Oh boy.. I'll get you peace. Next time something like this happens, please contact the government of an alliance first instead of attacking one of their nations. It's not really how this game works, since not everyone is willing to peace out after you attacked one of their alliance mates. You might not be so lucky next time.

[quote name='Baldr' date='13 March 2010 - 08:01 PM' timestamp='1268507187' post='2224516'] I'm curious. If Oblivion had sent the message, saying "pay more or I attack", would that violate any iFOK rules? iFOX does tech raid, so I'm pretty sure that if Oblivion had just attacked, you would be OK with that. In an alliance that condones an outright attack, I wouldn't expect there to be any rules about sending a message before the attack. [/quote] I think I have already addressed this earlier. We do not allow our members to extort people. [quote]1. I seriously doubt the whole 'he told me to send him money'-thing. 2. If that would be the case, a simple message towards me or another iFOK gov member would've been enough. [/quote] I really would like to see a screenshot of the message that supposedly was sent by the nation of Oblivion. Get me a screenshot and you'll be out of this war in no time. Sounds pretty fair, doesn't it?

So defending ourselves is 'most cruel' nowadays? People are in alliances for a lot of reasons, and one of them is protection. An attack on one of them, is an attack on all of them. I get that you are still inexperienced in this game, but it is something that you might want to keep in mind in the future. Fortunately for you, we are actually a very forgiving and friendly alliance. We do not keep eternal grudges against people, and we do not practice Eternal ZI. If you really want out, please contact me directly either through forum PM, in-game PM or IRC. We don't give out harsh terms, but I do want to make sure it's not some kind of 'trick', and that you really want out.

1. I seriously doubt the whole 'he told me to send him money'-thing. 2. If that would be the case, a simple message towards me or another iFOK gov member would've been enough. 3. It's a shame that you are so small, it's actually hard to find folks who can declare on you. 4. ... Profit?

This actually made me smile. Let me 'help' you.

Wow, we won something? Amazing, thank you! So much wisdom and knowledge, you most certainly know it all.

It's likely going to be tough to replace such a conspicuous figure. Good luck Lintwad.

I enjoyed the following piece, so there might be others who enjoy it as well. [img]http://i46.tinypic.com/ymnv4.jpg[/img]

[quote name='Blackout' date='26 February 2010 - 05:04 AM' timestamp='1267157256' post='2204390'] Excuse me, how many other alliances alone were on top of Invicta before Wolfpack and whoever else(sorry if there were any others that jumped in for us)m was Invicta fighting? around 10 or 15? Other than the oh so classy and utmost [i]respectable[/i] comment made by Michael De Reuter. I would like to say congrats to the soldiers on the other front. We all fought hard. /o Peace [/quote] Exactly, I agree with you. I have never said that Invicta did not fight hard, in any way. I am merely responding to the nasty comment of another Invicta member, which [i]in my opinion[/i] was incorrect and false. Also; raasaa, the voice of reason!

The absence of Divi Filius in this gov makes me a sad panda. Good luck Tromp! o/

[quote name='Buds The Man' date='26 February 2010 - 12:07 AM' timestamp='1267139440' post='2203779'] And so it begins even after all is said and done, we have gloating, to bad you missed the lesson from your allies on how to handle this. Hell even Nem claimed victory but did it in a way as not to attempt to slap people in the face. Enjoy your precious moment that others have given you, I guess if you want to take credit your entitled, but really you want to take credit for some one elses work. Well if thats the only way you could get it I guess so be it. [/quote] iFOK fought hard, and fought a lot of opponents. I am proud of that, but that doesn't mean I am taking credit away from all the friends who fought on our side. Quite the opposite. I am proud of my allies and friends, who truly deserve this victory. Again, props to all the alliances involved on our side. You know I love you.

[quote name='Kn1nJa' date='26 February 2010 - 12:00 AM' timestamp='1267139053' post='2203767'] You FOUGHT for it? Don't make me laugh........ we barely nicked ifok and they ran away crying, never to attack again. NV and NoR on the other hand fought like true warriors. o/ PEACE [/quote] The ignorance of certain Invicta members keeps amazing me. For the record, iFOK fought a part of Invicta, the whole of Wolfpack (who alone were the same NS as us), SNAFU, USN, NAC and Menotah. (Most of which only declared on us, or on the Stickmen) Go get your calculator and do the math. 1+1= ?

Heh, people really can't let go. You surrendered, get over it. Let us have our moment of happyness and victory, we fought for it! o/

Hail the Stickmen, the true rulers of Purple! Crazy amounts of love to all the alliances fighting on 'our side'.

It truly hurts to read this announcement. Iosif, I have always considered you to be one of my favorite people and one of my closest friends on planet bob. Dude, I hope you stay in touch.. I truly do. Have fun in whatever you decide to do now. I do hope though that you change your mind. Take care!

I am shocked and horrified by some of the responses here. I can't believe certain TOP'ers actually dare to call this 'betrayal' and start about 'but we gave you money'. 1. It was TOP who put us in this position, not MK. You can try to twist it all you want, but it was TOP who DoW'ed on MK. 2. What happens if you DoW on an alliance? Yes, you force the hand of their allies. MK needs help, and so FOK helps out. TOP knew this [b]before[/b] they attacked, so really.. don't even go there. 3. Saying that this whole war is a 'coalition war' suddenly makes it okay to send aid to direct opponents of FOK? TOP, you had already attacked FOK before this DoW in 2 ways. Saying that 'you should've let FOK get destroyed in the UJW' and comments like that.. are not necessary and totally out of place. However, I am happy to see that there are also TOP'ers around who do get the situation, and understand FOK's position. You still make me feel warm inside.
