Yours is a post worthy of respect, sir. Despite its last line, the majority of its content is sound. However, that you give honor to anyone who was/ fought on the side of the continuum gives me reason to pause. NPO's transgressions are numerous; great and small. From dealing with small alliances to the later history of MDP-Webbing, NPO and the NpO strong-armed the majority of CN into compliance. From NADC to GPA, from LUE( and /b/) to Mushroom Kingdom, the sheer amount of ill-will that NPO has done to the greater lot of DTerra, alliances existent and non, nations old and nations gone, cannot be measured. Quite frankly, anyone that deigned to associate with the NPO after GW3 carries the taint of its actions.
Absolutely everyone knew that NPO's attack on FAN was more clean-up than self-defense. Absolutely everyone knew that the attack on GPA was horrendously out of line (though it is their fault for losing the war). Even WAE didn't deserve to go down(along with IAA). And yet, no one did anything. Nothing was said; nothing was done. Indeed, I was guilty of that at one time, but not after Kas's ZI. Never again. And now, here we are, letting members in league with NPO go free, with the additional door-prize of "honor" being given to them. Honor? After they helped to further the life of the NPO? Aided it and gave succor to it? Never. If they had any honor, they would be "staying" in the war to help end the NPO. To right the wrongs of the TI's egregious actions, both theirs and the continuum's. But no, we give freedom and "honor".
I do not accept it.
