Break their noses off.

:( Thanks for everything, Tyga.

I have no idea what's going on, but I'm pleased that we're fighting about it.

They always overcook the chicken. :(

I kind of agree that it sounds like whining from some quarters. To be clear: I don't think any among us has any complaint about losing a war that we voluntarily entered. Nor about being heavily outnumbered. We wouldn't know what to do with ourselves if we weren't. Various people among us have altered their opinions of various enemy states based on how they elected to conduct this war and are choosing to express that. Please don't convolute that with crying about getting our teeth kicked in. We like that. :ehm:

I am rather pleased that this came to fruition. Most of the alliances arrayed against us bring me no particular joy to cause harm to. But you, IRON, have always been a terrible alliance. Without exception you have been a group of weak spines, myopic vision, and clumsy self-interest. Few alliances have done more harm to mine over the course of the years than IRON has. I look forward to burning the fields of a truly deserving alliance.

I had hoped this rumor wasn't true, but I guess they usually are. I don't mind losing a war, and I don't mind losing it badly, but I really don't care for the flavor of this. I have always liked and respected you, Fark, and I had dared to imagine that there was some measure of reciprocity to that sentiment. If that were the case you could have easily opted against joining the dogpile on a throughly-countered and entirely periperhal alliance such as our humble group. The fact that you are here anyway indicates that my regard was unrequited. Oh well, so it goes. Enjoy my nukes - I'll be sure to save some for you.

RIA are decent folks. Good luck. But not too much.

Either you have slightly misread the announcement, or I am missing a joke here somewhere.

Odd, really, that this is the first time this has happened.

I have long carried a personal distaste for you, rooted back in the days of One Vision and the raiding of SoS, but this DoW conveys respectable sentiments. Perhaps this is as good a time as any to acknowledge change. See you out there.

I still more or less live, oddly enough. Strange to see us on the same side of a war again. It's just like old times, except for the differences.

Hi there. I don't know who you are, except for having the vaguest sense that you exist, but have a good time all the same.

This is why we can't have nice things. :(

"Never wrestle with a pig. You'll just get muddy and the pig enjoys it."

You have it backwards. It's always the losing side because we're on it. We're bad luck.

If you look at the propaganda thread I think you'll find he's mostly pulling for your side.

I thought you types mostly made fun of us for doing (or trying to do) 'noble' things.

Thanks for this thread. I really wouldn't know which side I was on without it.

Strong words in this accord. So who won?

I came into this thread expecting it to be bad, but boy howdy did you ever surpass my expectations!

I feel that I should be horrified, but instead I can't stop laughing.

At last, after many false starts, we get to consummate our treaty, TPF. Ours has been a strange journey together. We were bitter enemies and uncomfortable neighbors back when color politics mattered, beating on each other by proxy whenever possible. TPF is perhaps the only alliance that we have ever dealt with who worked with us in an honest desire to move on without any ulterior motive or especial benefit. We blossomed into an uneasy trial friendship that eventually grew into our sole treaty connection. At last we share a battlefield and I expect that at the end we walk off a pock-marked and scorched earth the only way we know how: hand-in-hand with our comrades-in-arms. Good luck, NADC. I wish we could be facing an alliance with whom we have a score to settle, but our primary goal here is to best assist our ally, and perhaps you should be marginally flattered that it means showing you a good time.

It's not too late to fight us. Now would be a perfect time even, there's a war on and everything!

We may be outnumbered, but you're outmanned! (hi SirWilliam)
