  1. if this isn't a joke thread it's really !@#$@#$ awful

    actually it's really !@#$@#$ awful either way

    look at it this way, the lsf posts almost made me think this was about Int-DH

    otoh, ucr and ds are made for each other
  2. Recall even the Mushroom Kingdom could not long absolve itself of all treaties without returning to it.

    Your ignorance and revisionism is legendary.

    The reset was performed to allow for reflection and complete re-evaluation of obligations based on the present rather than holding onto obsolete holdovers of the past. It had nothing to do with any silly political narratives outside of that.

     

    Those that are not entirely stupid can be self-aware. Those are wholly idiotic have no capability to detect their own flaws. You are welcome to remain in your echo chamber.

  3. It happened in Dave War, Karma, Bipolar et cetera; almost every global war. It's happening here. If a war is coming, alliances will work to ensure their enemies don't get the jump on them. NpO-SNX and co lost the diplomatic war. NPO and IRON won.

    You didn't make it easy for yourself, mind you. SNX gained status it was not prepared for and failed to change itself quickly enough to reinforce its new-found position. Its FA moves were mocked on the OWF for very good reasons; you kept signing with alliances that weren't battle-tested, nor did they have the bulk to either act as a deterrent or be a decent power sponge. You were the low-hanging fruit in NpO's camp, the unpopular fruit. You let Tywin in gov. You were led by scy. Even the MI6-hate was surpassed by the lack of respect you attracted. And you did not do enough to resist that labelling.

    You aren't the first mega-merger alliance to lose sanction almost as rapidly as they gained it. Learn from this conflict and put in place the internal structure needed to regain your losses once it has ended. Otherwise, be prepared to watch your strength dwindle till ut matches that of your alliances pre-merger.

  4. Lolwut?  At any rate, IRON has a far better track record of actually honoring treaties with actual, yknow, WARS than Val can claim right now.

    IRON has a far better track record of avoiding war when it suits them (and joining the winning side), going back... a very long way. They just do a better job of handling the FA overall to avoid looking like Hal has for the past few years.
  5. One day, blanket declarations of that nature will be used against EQ's weaker members, who - being more numerous and lacking in depth, will suffer for it. It is a tool for monopolising power and establishing or preserving hegemony, nothing more.

    Thanks for the reminder that I said this once re; 'musketeer tactics' of bloc declarations used to generate the biggest dogpiles possible. Hoo boy.

    Now, we certainly haven't gotten that far yet (this is nowhere near EQ antics right now, way to jump the gun folks :P), but let's be honest - people are already trying to graffiti the same kind of writing on the wall. And yet, I still have doubts this war will produce the sheer magnitude of meatshield-ery simply due to changes in treaty webs and shifting attitudes since that conflict.

    Have fun, both of you.
  6. And we're burning all the bridges now
    Watching it go up in flames
    No way to build it up again

    And we're burning all the bridges now
    Cause it was sink or swim and Linke went down, down, down


    So much leftist nostalgia up in this. I'm tempted to say this was inevitable vis a vis treaties with SNX but the other Int/ex-INT are gloating a bit too hard already. Hopefully we can talk all this stuff out once the war is over, LSF.
