You know, you really are an idiot. All you do is run around and flap your gums and act like you bring something worthwhile to the table. You'll have to talk to Athens about punishment, seeing as we can't really attack ourselves now can we?

Trust me, when we were told that we would not be attacked, I asked Londo straight up if he was sure. The reason we weren't ZI'd or punished in some fashion was because they felt it wouldn't be good to shoot the messenger, as it might set an example and prevent others from coming forward in the future. This flies in the face of the past precedent for handling spying on Planet Bob which we all know is ZI. I understand the logic behind their reasoning, but it was a mistake. We were guilty and should have been punished along side the others involved.

I just have to comment before the tin foil brigade starts passing out the 'special' kool aid. This decision was made in the best interests of the members. It would be impossible to carry on as an alliance from a political stand point. When we told Athens what the original intention of ZH was, we fully expected to get killed. Obviously that did not happen, though to this day I personally think it should have and was a mistake on Athens' part for not meting out some form of punishment. In the wake of this affair, the level of distrust on both sides is high. No one aside from Athens would sign a treaty with ZH. Athens is a good group of people, but having one ally isn't enough, especially when that ally is split down the middle when it comes to how ZH should have been dealt with. People keeping asking why we came out when we did. It really was a spur of the moment thing, I know it's hard to believe, but I'm kind of impulsive. We knew it was only a matter of time before someone threw us under the bus, so I made the decision to read Zulchep in on the original intent of ZH. She advised we come clean with Athens as we had an MDoAP with them sitting in our Embassy since Oct, just waiting to be signed. We didn't upgrade because of our history, before all of this we were actively trying to figure out how to separate ourselves from Athens and not have the relationship end on bad terms. Telling the truth equaled ZI and the death of the alliance, politically and membership wise. As we wanted ZH to be successful, we were selfish for that reason in not telling Athens. Sometimes you just have to bite the bullet and accept whatever may come, which is exactly what we did and this is the result. Whether this makes a difference or not, I really don't care. I just get tired of people acting like they know everything when they really don't have a !@#$@#$ clue.

Congrats guys! The forums are look'in sweet.

the purpose of this thread reminds me of a 3-way break off flank attack.

Congrats Troy!

Not gonna lie, I shed a single tear of joy over this announcement. Good show MK, regardless of your reasons, this was very nice to see.

interesting. you cancel a treaty, weaken yourselves further while running around trying to find out if a certain rogue has ties to an alliance you have a beef with, so you can form an iron clad CB to be used when you think you can win... balls. grow some.

wtg SCM, killing drama since this morning. I just wish you could have found it in your heart to let UED get rolled for a few days before you swooped in with that brilliant analysis, thus saving the day. Good work!

Alright, this is my first announcement, I had to suffer through a lot of chiding before I was given the go ahead. It was a long hard battle, but as you can see I was finally given the nod by our esteemed Tyrant King Yohan. *tucks his shirt in and puts down his bottle of Grey Goose. Ok where was I? Oh yes, we have some things to announce to all of you fine gentlemen and ladies. #1. We have reached 400k NS and 20 member nations. #2. ZH has compiled 144 nukes, but we have more in the oven. *takes another gulp of liquid courage. Moving along... This next part deserves more than images or numbered lines, as it just wouldn't do justice to the following. Zulchep has been promoted to Minister of Foreign Affairs. We have the utmost confidence in her abilities to help guide ZH through the murky waters of the MDP web. Plus her sense of humor is quite wicked and she shares the most vile of imagery, keeping me warm in a blanket of depravity. Random Hero has been promoted to chief baby sitter, I mean Minister of Internal Affairs. We decided that the time was right for him to corrupt young minds, that the world was ready for his brand of robotic death machines. Ugh, there I go giving away secrets, I meant his brand of Warrior Nations, we don't really have robotic death machines, I mean seriously. Congrats to Zuli & RH. That's all I have for the moment. Good Night & Good Luck CN.

No I'm not confused. It was Mongrel & I on the rogue, you took the 3rd slot and jacked up the stagger to boot.

Jan. I watched you get man handled by a rogue. You were the one who slipped in and took the 3rd slot and your contribution was next to worthless.

Bring it... That worked for ES, it doesn't work for you. Your delivery was slightly, I dunno middle school-ish. This whole, 'if you get in my range, I'll show you' stuff is hilarious. It would have had more impact if he actually was in your range, but then if that was the case, then you wouldn't have said it. However you could use a few more causalities, 445 days old and only rolling with 500K, you sir are a real war machine. By the way, I've seen you in action, trust me it ain't nothin to write home about. Anyways back on topic. Congrats Troy, I'm sure ya'll will be great, especially with Cossar on board.

Congrats to you LBA, keep up the good work. I see the haters are out an about. Too many alliances, people should just join all the big alliances, no one should have fun on their own, etc. For the love of all that is holy, just shut the hell up.
