    When I was in gov, we used to chastize Londo for his hair brained schemes to attack NPO. In fact, if I am to believe certain rumors, it was one of the reasons that Athens and MK originally split because people thought attacking NPO was not worth it. If it was bad then, why is it good now?

    Oh the irony is delicious to me.

    That's not really how it works in my experience. Regardless of the actual status of wars on the rogue, the rogue is only off the hook if and only if the people he is rogueing on allow it.

    However, as RED don't have any treaties and are below 15 members, they are not an alliance anyway, so who cares I guess.

    With all due respect, Athens is a sovereign entity and very much capable of setting policies for ourselves on how to deal with situations like this. If others wish to challenge our sovereignty on who we accept into our alliance and when we accept them because of an intangible claim they wish to assert which is based on a past war, that is their right, but they had better be prepared to go to war to back up their beliefs, as we certainly are.

    ORLY?

    The simple fact of the matter is that Athens accepted a nation at war, who was a known rogue, lifted the sanctions placed against it by Fark, and then told AcTi to sit on it.

    No, Batallion peaced Tyler out, at which point the war was over, at which point Tyler applied to Athens and I later removed his sanction, as the war was over. Newsflash: If you want to keep attacking someone you don't peace them out. And no, Tyler was not peaced out until the war with Sirius ENDED. AcTi lost any reasonable claim to keep attacking Tyler when Batallion peaced him out along with the rest of the Sirius combatants. I also had a discussion with the other 2 senators at the time, and they agreed that lifting sanctions after a rogue has been peaced out is reasonable, because it implies the conflict is over. And AcTi did not come to me at any time to talk about anything.

    I love patterns. Athens breaks the rules consistently, and then it's up to people in far weaker positions to come hat in hand and ask for recompense at which time Athens will exercise its ability to tell them to get bent. Stellar way to run things. At least it's transparent.

    Yeah it's not like Athens fought NPO (twice) or TOP or anyone before. As far as how we behave, I am just doing my part to encourage conflict and save the world before we all delete out of boredom. :awesome: It pleased me to send dongs in the service of encouraging war, especially to a so recently former Athenian, and so I did it. Admin wills it.

    Consider yourself invited to join Athens. In regards to your comments, I've found that finance systems are pretty critical to the success of an alliance, because it is not easy to get every member of the alliance to form an optimal trade circle for himself or keep his aid slots full of efficient tech deals. People get busy with RL, or they get lazy, they have bad experiences with tech sellers or trade circles collapsing, maybe they get the wrong idea about what a good trade circle is. The bottom line is that some members can and will take care of themselves quite nicely, but many will not, and the gov't giving them a little guidance about what to do is the difference between an alliance in terrible shape and one in excellent shape.

    Also, Athens would welcome some commentary and thoughts as to our political direction. Most of our members are pretty apolitical and genuinely have no desire to make any sort of contribution to the direction of the alliance, other than to build their nations and fight as needed, and enjoy the community. But new ideas, new blood, and new members are certainly welcome.
