[quote name='The Pansy' timestamp='1292594000' post='2541802'] About 700k added 5 days ago approx, probably one of the protectorates folding DOOM I believe [/quote] I see... Thanks for that.

Shouldn't TPF be in the sanction race? Granted, I didn't see them coming either. Did they just recently have a huge gain?

This makes me very sad, but I'm going to wish you all the best and be the first to call your return home in the future.

[quote name='Auctor' timestamp='1292422879' post='2540168'] Nueva Sangre, for more reasons than one. Writing the RoA-TFD ODP would be a close second. [/quote] Nueva Sangre is definitely an awesome thing to be proud of - the past successes and future promises are surely something to be excited about... ...but I've always wanted to find out who the author of that epic treaty was. You sir, are my hero.

Dude! Nooooo!! *resuscitates Wentworth back from the dead* You can't leave!

Wow, white's really declined since I last glanced in that area of the woods. Congrats NEW on your new "leadership." Wear it with pride.

*shakes fist at Admin* Shame on you for spreading out a single day's deletions over two days.

Good luck.

It's bad enough that we had a substantial deletion today, but it's worse that we actually were meant to have two lined up, and Admin decided to leave the second one for tomorrow - just so we would get kicked out of Survivor.

iLike. Anything with all those awesome names at the bottom is something I can get behind. Oh, and Elfie. Too bad she chugged all the tequila.

[quote name='Alterego' timestamp='1291904353' post='2534856'] [b]A-t-h-e-n-s[/b], you need it spelled out for you. The "gesture" of writing off some reps after spending most of the last two years gobbling up reps is the PR attempt not the announcement. Unfortunately they cant erase the last 2 years with a single gesture. [/quote] Ah, thanks for spelling it out. Your first post was indeed rather vague. No, I don't think it was done as a PR stunt on Athens' part either. This is in light of the fact TSO did this voluntarily and not out of being forced or even asked, for that matter. That said, what's done is done. I'm excited that my friends at TSO can move on and tip my hat to Athens once again for their gracious approach to this situation. ...and GearHead exits the thread.

[quote name='mdnss69' timestamp='1291899023' post='2534817'] Of course TSO are announcing it GH. Of course they are happy about this. They have just put a large part of the last year behind them and begin to move forward. Athens, after eight months and 24k tech later of stomping all over TSO say "Kai, we're all cool now so go on your own way". Then they are then hailed as heroes of mercy and leniency. That's hypocrisy. [/quote] Well, according to Bob's culture today, the winner of a war gets to decide whether or not they want to impose reparations, and if so: how much. Obviously their decision there can be put under scrutiny, and reps of a large amount can be criticized heavily. But that time for criticizing was in March, April, and perhaps even May. Not December. Not only is my point that the reps instilled were so long ago, but also that it's over now. The reps are lifted, TSO is free. Even if you don't think it was soon enough, I refer you to this saying: "Better late than never." [quote name='Alterego' timestamp='1291899191' post='2534818'] Of course TSO are grateful they got some of their reps waived. Im sure thats why they announced it. Thats the who not the why. The why was a cynical attempt to grab a little good PR after a steady flow of shakedown money for much of the last two years outside of wartime. [/quote] Ah, so you're implying this is a TSO PR stunt. Well then, I'll once again tell you you're wrong. I'm confident TSO were and are genuinely grateful for this gesture made by Athens, and made this announcement in good will as a small gesture of thanks rather than as a PR stunt. Perhaps if you were in their position, you'd understand.

[quote name='Alterego' timestamp='1291897091' post='2534806'] Its just a PR stunt. [/quote] Unless you're talking about on behalf of TSO, you're completely wrong. Actually, you'd be wrong in both instances. If it were an Athens PR stunt, why is TSO announcing it? They didn't have to announce their gratefulness. And if you sincerely believe Athens "forced" TSO to announce this, then you're sadly mistaken, and I encourage you to ask TSO for yourself before you actually make assumptions.

[quote name='Diomede' timestamp='1291890692' post='2534783'] I keep forgetting one half of it exists. [/quote] Which half? I kid, I kid. It's true - Gre never really crossed my mind until I saw them featured in this Survivor round.

Happy birthday my awesome orange friends.

Harmlins dropping out on the same day...

Good show to Athens on this. I am confident your graciousness won't be forgotten. o/

o/ Gopher. Really sad to see NATO out of the race. Stupid deletions!

Sad to see an alliance disband, but I suppose it is clearing up the treaty web. Good luck to all former members in your search for a new home.

Make him pay, Mr. O.

I was looking, indeed. You sent me an aid, then just as I was about to accept, canceled it. Glad it went to Lusitan, though.

[quote name='supercoolyellow' timestamp='1291613144' post='2531675'] I was lazy and pulled the data from the display all alliance page [/quote] Argh. That could have been like 12 hours ago then. It's all your fault we have a yellow dot now.

SCY did it all wrong. We're 19.99.

You're a very neat person who I always thought I should get to know more, Mia. I will say that lurking in #tool without your presence there seems different.
