[/quote] Regardless of what happens after all this is finished. The hit this guy has taken twice for IRON speaks volumes about his character. I would be honoured to be "taken down" by the man.

[quote name='Bob Janova' date='07 April 2010 - 12:59 AM' timestamp='1270598344' post='2250900'] Well that's because Grämlins appears to have been taken over by Ram, whereas as far as I'm aware there is nothing Shiite about how TSO is run. [/quote] Yeah it was supposed to be an overt referance to the MCXA-TSO split that was pretty Shiite and i c what ya did thar

If the facts you argue with in the peace negotiations contain the same amount of truth, I start to understand why trying to get peace with Grämlins is difficult.

[quote name='Dragonaspect' date='06 April 2010 - 11:51 PM' timestamp='1270594268' post='2250825'] Resorting to attacks against other nations and alliances who are calling you and your alliance out reeks of denial. If you consider us "!@#$e" then so be it, however your comment was neither neither overly productive nor necessary. The Grämlins I knew would be ashamed of this kind of conduct, apparently since I was last active a lot changed. Edit: Don't try to spell when tired. [/quote] I was attempting to be humorous, but it seems gRAMlins as your calling us is fair and the use of a muslim sect, which is part of the largest schism in Islam is not. I apologise if I offended anyone. My bad.

[quote name='The Big Bad' date='06 April 2010 - 06:31 PM' timestamp='1270575055' post='2250482'] You don't need a coup but your leaders need to answer to you. If your members make it clear that in the next elections they will be removed from power and all they have done reversed they had best start listening. If they do not then your members should vote with their feet and leave at least for the short term and go some place friendly like MHA. I just do not see how doing nothing is an option when your alliance being run into the ground. [/quote] You assume: [list] [*]no one is doing anything [*]gremlins that do disprove of this move have not made their position clear [*]our leadership is not listening to us [/list] And finally you suggest turning tail and leaving brothers on the field where we can watch them be blown apart from the safety of an accommodating hitchhiker bed.

[quote name='grobend123' date='06 April 2010 - 04:00 AM' timestamp='1270522788' post='2249936'] Mmm, Grämlins, you stay classy [/quote] Well seeing as there has been a lack of Grämlins posting thoe I have seen have been well behaved. So thank you [quote name='Heft' date='06 April 2010 - 02:36 AM' timestamp='1270517742' post='2249838'] Is there an official position on what will happen should someone defend IRON/DAWN from Gramlins? I've seen some discussion here but it looked like mostly hearsay and speculation. [/quote] I'll try and get this in before some say the inevitable. "Well why don't you do somthing about it and find out" Personally it's up to them, I would understand if they came in to help us and if they did not. I don't think there is an offical postion. [quote name='Baldr' date='06 April 2010 - 01:11 AM' timestamp='1270512694' post='2249757'] Unconditional surrender. According to the Annonymous Non Government Gramlin, "[i]It means, IRON consents to do what ever we say, when ever we say.[/i]" That's slavery.

Of course, this also means that there're a lot of Gramlins members who cannot even attack anyone in IRON (and certainly not anyone in war mode), which reduces the Gramlins' effective strength. Assuming IRON isn't asinine enough to come out of PM in a foolhardy enough fashion as to present juicy 3-on-1 targets (a likely assumption), I'd think the numbers advantage in the middle and lower tiers would give you guys the capability to hand out a fairly effective beating throughout the bottom half of Gramlins, with their possible response being limited by both their topheaviness and their smaller numbers. I suspect that quite a few IRON nations are at NS levels nonrepresentative of their actual strength (tech, military wonders, etc.), which would only make it more one-sided. I wonder how long Gramlins wants its bottom half continually trashed. [/quote] I don't think it's the bottom half you need to be worried about but the nation of IRON. IRON have a way out and the longer they take to surrender the longer this war will draw out. While I can understand that many in CnG + some otherundeserving buggers may be annoyed by the fact they are not getting thier reps. The fact is that they have those reps in the bank. Regardless of what happens to the Grämlins they will get thier reps one way or another. It's how long IRON and DAWN wants to be paying these reps for that will determine when they surrender. If they do which I hope they will.

Congratulations to to al now a peace. I'm slightly disgusted with a few alliances taking reps when initially attacked. There seems to be quite few opportunistic buggers getting a nice undeserved Easter surprise. Everyone who gave white peace should be proud they have done so. For everyone saying us grämlins have been abandoned by our hitchhiker brother...we haven't what we do is of our own making. En Taro Adun

I'm hoping this is the real WCR...like the new direction your taking :s

[quote name='Drizuz' date='01 April 2010 - 10:38 PM' timestamp='1270157880' post='2244371'] Tbh, Well you'd get ZI , like Jarlaxle and Sol-Guk , if you left anyways. So there not much choice there Shamshir [/quote] Synth is a good guy, if I asked to leave i'm sure he would let me. Those two guys being ZIed is a discussion for another time. But the I'm a firm believer that, especially in a military alliance that you cannot leave without permission when the alliance goes to Defcon 3 or below.

[quote name='Crymson' date='01 April 2010 - 10:26 PM' timestamp='1270157147' post='2244352'] I know your comment refers to me, but I'll respond in a general sense. While TOP may be suffering in the sense of nation strength based on some of the actions I undertook, we're doing just fine as an alliance. There has been nothing in the area of major departures; there is no significant internal discord (we haven't had any serious drama in years, really); our character has not changed; etc. Our community will continue as before; if anything, this war and its consequences has reinvigorated an interest in the game that many were beginning to lose beforehand. Conversely, Ramirus and co ruined the Gramlins from within. The community has been devastated---masses of senior members have left and the remaining membership is largely inactive---and the alliance's prior character and integrity has been irrefutably lost. I think you're really missing the point of the allegations that are being made against your alliance. [/quote] This comment was not actually directed at you, more that just as TOP stuck together in your endeavour. Expect the same from the average gremlin to stay as one till the end of the war. That was the point i'm trying to get across. I have no doubt that TOP's community will continue on as before, I hope that gremlins will also.

Apologies for not getting through all of this thread, it's long and I skimmed most of it. The main point of the thread seems to be about our uncharacteristic demand for unconditional surrender. Now not being an Archon (the folks who run my alliance) I an tell you that news or information about this change in FA policy was hinted to the Zealots and Templars of the gremlins. I could stand here and apologise for our lack of presence on these boards but most of those left in Gre are simply either inactive and don't have the time to view these forums like the used. RL happens so while many of you feel Gre is dying or dead i prefer to think of it as beast falling to sleep. Many prominent members have left us and thier tales have been banded around. I ask that you remember what gre was and what it did stand up, the respect it has built up as an alliance. The reason most of the members of the gremlins stay is based on that which made the alliance great. I can tell you personally and while I don't speak for my fellow gremlins I think this opinion resonates within the alliance well. I am very much against our leaderships decision to pursue this unconditional surrender from IRON. Notice I say leadership not any certain member as it's my belief that if Gre continues to go down this road which many are actively right now trying to right now. It will end in the destruction of the gremlins and a betrayal of it's fine name. But it will not be one persons fault, the blame will be on every archon allowing this to happen. I still believe in gremlin dream and hope that you will see the right decision made by my alliance. But jut like the average TOP who I respect immensely, were led to their ruin by their leadership but stood firm. You will find that Gre will stand till this war reaches it's conclusion. But when it does depending on the decision made you will either see a resurgent Gremlin alliance or one with very few members left. En Taro Adun

[/quote] I may have missed this but when has a hitchhiker referred to themselves as a "mighty warrior" MHA are under no illusions about military prowess. [quote name='Heft' date='20 March 2010 - 07:28 PM' timestamp='1269113267' post='2231443'] Congratulations MHA on reaching almost 15 pages. I can't for the life of me figure out why anyone would take even this much of an interest in what you do, but I'm probably just out of touch or something. [/quote] My guess is people are already trying to paint in a new target. From my time in the MHA it's always the membership who decide which direction the alliance goes in. They no longer wanted to be tied to TOP hence why the treaty was dropped. Many are sore over how TOP got involved in the conflict and it's my belief that had they have become involved the usual way things would have lined up differently. With regards to harmlins it's an MDoAP not an MDAP. MHA and Gre have been on the opposite ends of a war before and I can imagine thm being so again.

[quote name='Zoomzoomzoom' date='21 February 2010 - 01:53 AM' timestamp='1266717219' post='2194373'] I wonder what the date is for the last time someone had over 1000 members. [/quote] 800 seems to be the point where unless you have a large team of active recruiters AND support staff to teach your new members the ropes. Your likely to lose just as many members as you recruit. Is what I found from my experience in the MHA. But it would be interesting to see if another alliance makes a concerted effort to get to 1000.

I also very much like to meet you in person and invite you to come to Kyraylia. As you may know a nation must protect it's assets and trade, I know that even know you are meeting with representatives to discuss the security of the Hudson bay. It is of a similar matter i wish to discuss. Kyraylia while being mostly landlocked has powerful military fleet and also a large merchant navy. The latter however is much larger than the former.
