[quote name='SirWilliam' date='02 April 2010 - 09:22 PM' timestamp='1270257702' post='2246018'] That doesn't refute what I said. I said you left during a war - that being the Worst War Ever, not the TOP-C&G War. [/quote] To be fair, FoB wasn't fighting in that war, which to my understanding is why he left.

[quote name='Choader' date='02 April 2010 - 09:16 PM' timestamp='1270257376' post='2246006'] FoB was in good hands with Shinpah, and when you're already at war what difference does it make where you're fighting from. Every one of us who left previous to the attacks on FoB was preoccupied on other fronts. [/quote] So your argument here is that because one person stayed behind the alliance was fine? There is more to war than ramming your own nation into others, you could have been helping your alliance in many other ways than just your personal contribution to the war effort. Instead others had to pick up the slack that you left behind because of your selfish decision to abandon your alliance. Shinpah I'm sure is a great person, but cannot handle everything alone. That kind of responsibility would overwhelm anybody. [quote]It's not abandonment, it's more like coming to a growing realization about the nature of foreign entanglements. [/quote] Sounds like a load of tripe to me. You can spin it how you like, you abandoned your alliance, left it with almost no active government, and then expect everyone to be just peachy with it, and get offended when someone points out how you almost destroyed your own alliance in doing so. Just accept responsibility for leaving, no amount of spin is going to convince anyone other than yourself, that is if you even believe your own logic here.

[quote name='Choader' date='02 April 2010 - 09:12 PM' timestamp='1270257118' post='2245998'] Ask your government why it became permanent. Again, no. We left when your good polar buddies decided to bring war to our allies, and over a week C&G was at war. [/quote] I assume you meant to say "over a week before C&G was at war" which would be an accurate statement. Why, when FoB was actually forced into the war you didn't return back home though is the question at hand. There is no reason for you to have stayed in PC as long as you have, and the only logical conclusion can be that you abandoned your alliance. That's your choice, but don't complain when someone who's stepping up to the plate in your place calls you on it.

[quote name='JackSkellington' date='02 April 2010 - 09:04 PM' timestamp='1270256667' post='2245983'] You were supposed to be joining Ronin, Stormsend. D: [/quote] Yeah like anybody likes Ronin enough to join. pfft. On topic, Choader if it was only temporary why is it when the war was brought to FoB did you not return to your former alliance? I can understand feeling strongly enough you wish to fight without putting allies in a tight spot, and dropping alliance is the best way to do that. But there comes a point where if you haven't gone back there is no excuse. You left your alliance with no leadership for all intents and purposes to die. If someone wants to step in and do what you don't have the balls to do yourself, who the hell are you to berate them?

Took long enough for this to get posted. edit: Apparently I need to change my sig as it is no longer 4/1. Bleh.

[quote name='Denial' date='02 April 2010 - 01:01 AM' timestamp='1270184447' post='2245038'] That is a disgusting claim [img]http://thecastlehall.com/boards/Smileys/kickass/colbert.gif[/img] [/quote] Only shocking for it's truth.

[quote name='savethecheerleader' date='01 April 2010 - 02:07 AM' timestamp='1270102021' post='2243366'] Oooooooh whatever. If you lot didn't want these theories thrown around, you could have announced this thing at any other time. But you didn't. You decided to announce it on April Fool's Day, in the midst of war no less. [/quote] Someone else already pointed out how funny it is to us to see everyone writing it off as an april fool's joke, so I have no problem reitterating it. But that isn't going to change anyone's mind, time will show you the truth.

[quote name='savethecheerleader' date='01 April 2010 - 02:01 AM' timestamp='1270101683' post='2243354'] Reeks of "fake drama planned to give credence to April Fool's joke". You're in cahoots, the lot of yah. [/quote] You're right, and it's all part of the grander plan to set up Athens to be rolled, now that IRON and TOP are done with. This master plan will come to fruition within approximately 6 months. Now if we're done with crazy conspiracy theories can we go back to celebrating the rebirth of one of CN's oldest and most influential alliances?

[quote name='kulomascovia' date='01 April 2010 - 01:55 AM' timestamp='1270101326' post='2243342'] Couple of questions: If you don't mind me asking, why did you guys decide to drop this treaty? [/quote] I'll leave that to one of our fearless leaders. [quote]Also, why are there two Ministers of Internal Affairs? And what does the Minister of Pacifican Expatriates do? [/quote] We obviously couldn't pick which was better, and there's plenty of work to go around. The minister of Pacifican Expatriates keeps us ex-pacifican scum in line. We make up a good portion of the alliance so we keep him pretty busy. It was always his unofficial duty as Princess, we just made it official now that he is no longer needed in that role.

[quote name='Fighter26' date='01 April 2010 - 01:52 AM' timestamp='1270101141' post='2243336'] Long live April fools =) [/quote] This 'april fools joke' will last longer than your nation.

[quote name='Jrenster' date='01 April 2010 - 01:36 AM' timestamp='1270100179' post='2243312'] When I personally destroy this alliance, I will smile as it burns down in a holy firestorm of justice. [/quote] Sorry bub, you're no Rebel Virginia.

Out of curiosity where did you find that banana beer? I really want to try some now that I know it exists.

[quote name='Venizelos' date='01 April 2010 - 01:28 AM' timestamp='1270099711' post='2243292'] people think the merger is a joke because its April 1st. people thinking we're joking is the actual joke [/quote] Shhh don't give away the joke!

[quote name='Shodemofi' date='01 April 2010 - 01:25 AM' timestamp='1270099488' post='2243277'] I actually had a "holy $%&@" moment before I remembered what day it was. [/quote] And adding you to the list of people we expect an apology from tomorrow.

[quote name='Ivan Moldavi' date='01 April 2010 - 01:22 AM' timestamp='1270099347' post='2243266'] Indeed. I was the first Minister of Trade for LUE. They value my economic skillz. [/quote] I don't believe you were first, but certainly the first to last an extended amount of time, and by far the most valued.

[quote name='schmutte693' date='01 April 2010 - 01:19 AM' timestamp='1270099160' post='2243251'] You will pardon me if the self appointed King of Hubris taking a minor Gov role makes me doubt the validity of this. Nevertheless, a Merry April Fools to you as well. [/quote] Ivan has been our minister of trade since LUE1.0. The fact that you have no idea of Ivan's traditional role within LUE does not make this a joke.

[quote name='Gunnar Griffin' date='01 April 2010 - 01:14 AM' timestamp='1270098863' post='2243227'] Is this real? [/quote] We have no reason to lie. Despite the disbelievers this merge is the real deal.

[quote name='Dilber' date='01 April 2010 - 01:09 AM' timestamp='1270098569' post='2243200'] I am not in this, and therefore this is a lie. Make me an offer. [/quote] You do carry around quite a bit on your own, but you cannot match the forces of LUE combined. That said I'll offer you 2 concubines and free beer for a month to hop on board, to ensure our title is undisputed.

[quote name='Style #386' date='01 April 2010 - 01:07 AM' timestamp='1270098432' post='2243187'] A nice grouping. [/quote] Indeed. Nowhere else in the galaxy is there such a concentration of scum and villainy.

[quote name='Bilrow' date='01 April 2010 - 01:02 AM' timestamp='1270098159' post='2243156'] April Fools! [/quote] You wish. LUE is no joke.

Our plot to set up CN has succeeded. This has been long in coming.

Good to have you back LOD.

First time in a while that I laughed at one of these. Good job.

[quote name='Byron Orpheus' date='09 March 2010 - 02:50 AM' timestamp='1268121338' post='2219092'] Our Sovereign is crowned by divine right. The throne has been vacant, watched over by our government, awaiting one who would be worthy to lead our grand alliance. [/quote] And the best you could find was JB? I'll join the chorus of "lol GGA"

[quote name='jaaku' date='08 March 2010 - 03:36 PM' timestamp='1268080884' post='2218247'] Paying reps to what CnG lost? Sure, I could understand that argument. Paying reps to everyone else because they decided to join in on a beatdown? That's not something i could agree with. To allude to whoever posted that medical bill analogy. I'm pretty certain that TOP is willing to pay some cash to who they punched. But when the rest of their buddies at the bar decide to join in and want cash for their bloody knuckles, they can keep on walking. [/quote] So to be clear, if the terms had included the same amounts, but were set to go to CnG nations only, to cover the amounts they lost during war, you would be perfectly fine about it, and we would have an end to these posts about extortion?
