Have fun and welcome to the front, friends.

Let's go Wombats! Take it to 'em guys.

No, no. There was no blanket DoW. It was a statement of, idiotic, policy that an attack on one member of the coalition is an attack on every member of the coalition. Unless you're giving up your position as a sovereign alliance a declaration is still necessary. As for the peacemode, our side has been known to cycle in and out of peace in waves, welcome to competent warfare, cupcake. Also, o/ Dinohouse. Let's go guys.

Goldie, could you post this again? I couldn't hear you over these guys shouting something about an attack on Ron Paul.

This wasn't an easy decision and even Viridians who agreed with the cancellation are disappointed, in a way. In any case, whatever tribulations we have, and are, going through I'll consider GOD my friends.

Congrats on peace GOD.

Hopefully I get to see some IRON nations at some point this war. Always looking to add more alliances to my "warred-with" list.

[quote name='Joe Stupid' timestamp='1340857882' post='2999072'] Biggest crock of !@#$ i've ever heard. We tried stopping this the moment we were told. In fact Taut's decision was enhanced by the general "Meh" we received from you when we tried to mediate. [/quote] Anybody rational who has seen the logs of that original conversation disagrees with you.

Whelp, when !@#$ goes wrong you can only make fun of yourself. Up until tonight no SDI had touched my nukes this war. Then this happened: [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/rbkQ3.jpg[/IMG]

[quote name='FlogYou' timestamp='1317432258' post='2813096'] 2 things you should never have in beer. Honey, and Raspberries, it's BEER! [/quote] Only two rules apply to beer: 1.) Drink what you like. 2.) You finish what you start. No wounded soldiers. Other than that everything is free game. If the hidden article isn't about beer I'ma be super disappoint.

Glad to see this, guys.

[quote name='Drai' timestamp='1316300927' post='2802633'] Very good, it's still retarded though. I mean everyone knows I'm no mister sensitive, but yea just saying, you guys really aren't that relevant anymore. [/quote] Can't tell if sarcastic. Anyways, post reformation Viridians are indebted to those whose kept the spirit and returned the Viridian banner to CN. To them we owe our thanks.

The Viridian Entente is the only alliance I've ever called home and I owe gratitude to the Viridians who kept the torch burning before I arrived, despite what their current affiliations and views may be. o/

[quote name='Arrnea' timestamp='1308686626' post='2737630'] That is why we [b]declared war[/b]. That is something different to "what we seek to get out of this war". [/quote] So what you sought out of this conflict was spending your allies' political capital to make sure you didn't talk to each other? How clever.

Glad to see this. Good luck BobbyJ and all you former Ninjas.

That was a speedy backpedal, indeed.

[quote name='Letum' timestamp='1302555225' post='2688723'] I was unaware that sitting alone for two years minding our own damn business caused other alliances to believe they have suffered a wrong. [/quote] You sure as hell weren't getting into any wars, but minding your own business you were not.

[quote name='Opensource' timestamp='1302326081' post='2687274'] I am 100% sure that as an alliance we would still defend you in a defensive war, but we have zero interest in fighting wars that were started by any one of our allies. [/quote] So that's why we fought in $6M. It totally makes sense now.

I have two copies of this sitting on my bookshelf. This would be an excellent excuse to read it for the whatever-th time.

[quote name='James Dahl' timestamp='1302244643' post='2686614'] I wish things could have been different. [/quote] From my understanding, things totally could have been different.

I've always liked Avalon, but unfortunately our friends happen to be on opposite sides of this conflict and we both feel obligated to defend them. There is no hate, merely what must be done.

[quote name='Omniscient1' timestamp='1300071369' post='2663979'] So you're preaching guilt by association. What would you say then if I reminded you that VE themselves were once allied to the great Hegemony that oppressed us all? [/quote] NPO wouldn't have been anything without the other alliances propping it up. So yes, there should be at least some guilt derived from association, or at least for decided action.

[quote name='HeroofTime55' timestamp='1300063899' post='2663737'] Can't even capitalize your sentences, were you by any chance on the writing committee for these terms? This is an important document and it should be free of errors. [/quote] It is. Article 2 pertains to Article 1 and therefore expires when it does. Why are you the only person that doesn't get this?

[quote name='HeroofTime55' timestamp='1300060242' post='2663515'] No, it doesn't end. How you managed to convince Polaris that it does end, is beyond me. The only term with an expiration date is Article 1. Article 2, along with the rest of the terms, are eternal. I can't believe that these terms were allowed to pass by Polaris. [/quote] Apparently you have no reading comprehension so I'll break it down for you. [QUOTE]1. The New Polar Order may not send foreign aid of any type, internally or externally, for a period one month unless where excepted by Article 2.[/QUOTE] There is no aid that goes to the NpO for a month except the exceptions made in Article 2. which reads: [QUOTE]2. The only foreign aid the New Polar Order may send or receive will be between members of the New Polar Order and the Victorious Alliances, via tech deals at a rate to be determined. Neither the New Polar Order nor the Victorious Alliances are required to utilize this exception.[/QUOTE] Article 2. details what foreign aid is excepted during the [b]one month period[/b] where foreign aid is not allowed. Not only that, it is explicitly stated that the tech deals are voluntary by both parties.

[quote name='Sulmar' timestamp='1300060140' post='2663507'] So the NpO are allowed to refuse to do tech deals with VE et all? [/quote] [Quote]2. The only foreign aid the New Polar Order may send or receive will be between members of the New Polar Order and the Victorious Alliances, via tech deals at a rate to be determined. [b]Neither the New Polar Order nor the Victorious Alliances are required to utilize this exception.[/b][/QUOTE] Yes.
