C&G stocks have improved; while uncertainty over their assets and their dubious liquidity persists, the reduction in toxic foreign investments should have positive repercussions across the remainder of their portfolio.

It would have happened regardless. The decisions of RIA to 'Do Something' has absolutely nothing to do with the web. Randoms have been 'raided' by DBDC without defending themselves in full. Non-randoms have also been 'raided' by DBDC without defending themselves in full. DBDC does its thing regardless, it's how alliances react that matters.
RIA is trying to buck the trend here. I respect that conscious decision far more than when folks made MQ's LUEcide into an anti-MK circlejerk. MQ had no* friends. DBDC has many big ones. Power and survival enslaves morality. Politics.
*Besides Rey and several others, but that's pretty irrelevant
So yeah. Have fun!
My posting is better out of context; thanks, MF.
EDIT: That's basically my take on RIA's actions, incidentally. Kick-backs (literally), get results. Results are much bigger obviously when you have a lot more NS/allies to back you up. -

If RIA had been less involved within the treaty web this event perhaps would not have happened although considering the recent raid on Corvus that can be disputed. I am not grandstanding, hollering or whatever it is you think I am doing. The simple fact of the matter is if you declare yourself insane and create no binding defence treaties with any decent alliances then an alliance possessing the culture found within DBDC is inevitably going to raid you.Every other alliance knows this and has either implemented or is still seeking to implement a plan of action or diplomatic policy which will remedy this. If being random provides no defence against being raided then surely the members of these treatied alliances must question the whole point of being treatied in the first place because the primary reason for most people to even be within an alliance is for protection and security.
Have fun dudes.

No flags. No sardonic posts. Conspiracy is afoot.
-
Enough stupid things happen here that a small alliance being completely deranged would be taken entirely seriously. Same goes with such statements being backtracked by 'haha, i was kidding this whole thing was a joke top kek massive lel'.
Hakai is cool though, so at least there's that.

You need a formal dec for a rogue? You insist on allowing familial ties to cloud your judgement?

Much like your posting.
Ain't nothin to it. -
How classy.

There should be a ban on announcing new war flags without a war dec.
Vexillologists would hate it, but that is some nice graphic-smithing. -
The first alliance to offer AE protection (much like every new micro formed over the past 18 months). Also the most persistent and active, though I didn't see the relationship being ideal at the time. That being said, I did admire the level of dedication and perseverance despite ultimate differences in approach and so forth.

Attacking TDO is too mainstream. It's not edgy anymore. And you aren't doing it right, otherwise more people would be complaining.

I did not expect pink of all colours to be the first place where senator bumfights would re-emerge. People seem to forget sometimes how terrible LSF is at dying.

imagine being such a low form of life that you have to rely on someone else's invented dogma to tell you how to live your life, clinging to it like a piece of barnacle-encrusted flotsam after a shipwreck

* RIA is old like George Clinton, and thinks like George Clinton.

DBDC should war DBDC. Minimise casualties. Perfectly tamed chaos. Maximum efficiency.
Always wanted to start an xp farm myself. -
Nah, I just like messing with delusions of grandeur.Your surprised cowards act like cowards?
-
Point taken. I mean, "non-consensual sex" is okay as long as it only happens once every seven months, right?he's right. Having been raided by DBDC is FOREVER. Ask IRON.
Only when it happens to pixel-huggers?
Only when it doesn't happen to yourself?
EDIT: I'm still surprised at how quickly IRON kissed and hugged with those they burnt not too long ago, but treaty web shifts heal all scars, eh? -
For a more serious reply...
Just like nobody has prevented DBDC raids in the past. If R&R (as an example; no political assertion here) is attacked by DBDC, is this a valid excuse not to come to its aid?Nor have they done anything to prevent it from happening.
Apparently, the existence of other alliances and nations isn't obvious from bad posting on the OWF... Self-imposed rules include treaties as well, so relying on treaties to you know, 'do something about it' is equally narrow-minded from another perspective. It's really just a question of how much folks value their upper tier pixels.Pax Corvus is entitled to behave as they want, as pretty much any other alliance out there. There is nothing forbidding anyone from doing what they want, except for the rules we impose ourselves. Pax Corvus saw it fit for their beliefs to live a life of solitary Foreign Affairs direction (not isolation for the sake isolation, just separation from world politics), DBDC knocking at their doors shows them that this world still exists, though, as do its inhabitants.
Again, this is really no different from any other alliance, treatied or not. Treaties exist for mutual benefit. If a treaty doesn't benefit an alliance, it gets cancelled. Caring for another alliance beyond self-interest is something that can transcend treaties - provided those involved are willing to do so.I hold no specific ill will towards neutrals, I even used to somehow maintain a concern for their well-being as an individual ruler (not as leader, well, not that much at least). Truth is, though, they care just for themselves: it might sound harsh, but this is how it is. When you refuse to interact politically even with people who share your own neutrality beliefs, well... TDO went down and just one soft neutral cared (GOP), when the threat was much smaller than current DBDC.
I don't care enough personally, but anyone with a sufficiently-large upper tier might, even if only for their own self-interest. Unless they have a submission fetish...
And that last bit is one of the reasons I approve of their conduct so far. They don't expect mercy, nor compassion (nor should they) and are prepared to fight DBDC even without treaties all over the web ('sup TOP). The potential losses are much higher than the MQ conflict, and they're doing something the non-neutrals have largely neglected to do. Being neutral is just a coincidental embarrassment for those espousing the need for treaties while taking it up the backdoor against the 'big boys'.PS: and even Pax Corvus doesn't seem to be asking people to fight for them.
-
Correct me if I'm wrong Garion, but I do recall a certain Communist from Finland being visited by some Doombirds some time ago. I would be rather chuffed to know how much you cared about that.
-
And I mean cute in an honest semi-weeabo way, not that snarky 'haha, I'm trying to make a point about something and being a dirty mouthbreather' way.
-
And that is why I find it cute when you guys post together. I can't help but admire animosities of such age and passion. Never change, both of you.

It would have happened regardless. The decisions of Pax Corvus to 'Do Something' has absolutely nothing to do with the web. Neutrals have been 'raided' by DBDC without defending themselves in full.

So what you are saying is there are a lot of people out there with a revenge motive against DBDC?
Possibly, but since they aren't anything like the sinking ship MQ was, I highly doubt anyone of significance will use it right now. Even with the 'will somebody please think of the neutrals' faux morality factor.
Pretty much what I suggested when that happened, too. I love it with these eggheads when I 'win'.

I am sure many here doubt whether Tywin's lumber has ever been under pressure.
