    2 weeks to prepare and all you managed was 1 blitz? And not even by the guy who posted the announcement?

    Seriously, what the hell is wrong with you guys? Are you just trying to troll all of Planet Bob simply by existing?

    I remember one time I was hanging out with a buddy of mine and there was a car accident at the corner near his apartment building. We went downstairs with our beer in mugs since we had nothing to do and watched the events unfold. Police and paramedics showed up (no injuries, dont worry) and they put up that 'Do Not Cross' tape across the intersection. A few fire fighters were milling about.

    Out of the blue a man in shorts and a pink t-shirt wearing headphones saunters [i]right through[/i] the entire scene. Arms a-swingin', smile beaming, not a care in the world and oblivious to it's very existence. We couldn't tell if he was just retarded, or an !@#$%^& on a dare.

    That's what you are, TGE; someone so goddamn oblivious that nobody can tell whether you need medication or a kick in the groin. Just to be safe though I would vote for both but GODDAMMIT you guys suck.

    TGE still has one or two decent people in there, and for them, I'll say good luck guys, Have fun out there.

    Let me throw my 2 cents in this conversation aswell.

    I was one of the people responsible for this unfortunate treaty between TGE and TKoI.
    I had no information about the...political sentiments in TKoI. They seemed like a bunch of OK people, albeit not the brightest cookies in the jar.
    As soon as it was becoming more clear what kind of people TKoI were, I was going to propose that TGE would cancel its treaty because TGE's view on racism and other similar ideas is very clear- absolute zero tolerance!
    But surprise surprise before we got a chance to do that NoR decided to poach our allies. This is not a question whether TKoI has racist or whatnot members in it, fact is that TGE had a treaty with them and all the sudden they decided to sign equal treaty with NoR and drop the one with TGE. Considering the most unfortunate past of NoR i cannot possibly believe this to be a coincidence. And when someone ringed the alarm about TKoI then NoR suddenly noticed their mistake? All one has to do is to take a look of the names of nations NoR members have and one can see what the political sentiments of NoR are. I agree with Craig aswell, NoR might be "reformed" but NoR is still NoR and no amount of reforms will change that. Also i'm glad to see the anti-TGE hate club faithful activists Flinders and Shuru are drooling all over the place as always. Is there any TGE topic in the world that you 2 wont troll in? It has been years since your pathetic schemes failed in TGE, when are you going to get over it?
    Nordreich is accusing TGE of meddling with their affairs? I'm sorry but was TGE who made NoR's ally to drop treaty with them and sign one with TGE or was it other way around?!

    You can flame me for saying those things but if you remove your pink sunglasses and see things as they really are you'll know it's all true.

    Have a nice evening!

    Excuse me, first of all, you have no idea what occurred when I was in TGE. Second of all, my post was not meant to be a flame in any way, so thank you for being arrogant and misinterpreting a purely analytical post. I don't post in your threads, I don't even usually pay attention to TGE threads. One post in the past 6 months or so? Yeah, that's really drooling. Work harder with your insults next time. Congratulations on enforcing everything I said.

    You're not even in TGE, you're in an alliance that is directly allied to NoR. Does that even make sense?

  3. While I'd like to see a new start, and a serious rebirth from TGE, all of their apologies follow the same format. A new start hasn't been achieved in the past, so why should it be expected now? Good intentions or not, you need to be committed to change. And if you aren't, just don't say it in the first place.

    It takes more than one person to bring in change; a fact that most of us have learned, and some of us have learned the hard way. Even if Mark Thomas is sincere in this want for change, I don't believe that all necessary people are on board. As for a serious rebirth, a real difference hasn't really been seen. Bringing in old members isn't really a big change when these problems have been long-lasting.

    As for the "I'm sorry, let's move on", it's very easy to apologize when you're in the wrong. But you can't expect NoR to act the same. And I really can't blame them for not jumping on the happy wagon. I'm actually quite impressed at how peacefully Nemhauser has reacted to this and all the other incidents in the past few months/years. But as for dramatic change, I'm not very optimistic.

    Sometimes, it's just time to hang your towel.

    Which part about this do you not understand?


    Ask Shuru

    Ask The Aut

    Ask IKKE

    I have told you I do not post logs of such chats on here for plebs pleasures. If you can't accept or understand that then that is okay. I won't cry at sleep tonight because I do not have your acceptance.
    [/quote]

    You're full of !@#$. Toku told me Ikke left on bad terms not that he spied. So those who want to ask me: Hiro's full of !@#$ like he always is.
    [/quote]


    Well, since we were brought up, I guess I'll have to clear this up.

    First of all, the incident mentioned was an accidental situation. Ikke left TSI for TKTB simply on the fact that db00 happened to be his best friend, and where the one went, so did the other. Our Minister of War at the time forgot to remove Ikke from the military messaging list, and sent out a message about a possible war situation. Ikke received this message, and passed it on to James (this was a year ago, so he was still the leader) and James came to talk to me about it to get Ikke removed from the messaging list. James and I are good friends, so we cleared up the issue with no problems. However, some of the information ended up in the hands of an extra person or two, but it wasn't a confidential message in the first place. I considered it our mistake that he was on the messaging list, and pardoned all issues that came from it. Hiro saw differently, and believed Ikke to be spying.

    So now that's cleared up. TSI and TKTB have never really had problems in the past, have always been on amicable terms, and remain on amicable terms today. Perhaps more of the globe here should adopt the same philosophy of pardoning mistakes that were, in some part, a product of your own initial mistake in the first place.

  6. Alright, this is quite angering me.

    First of all, I'm not here to argue what side was correct, whether this war was relevant/purposeful, etcetera. I don't care, to be honest, since it's already over and in the past.

    What does bother me to the point of fuming, is the amount of scapegoating going on. Let us be honest about a few things. First of all, this entire debacle is not entirely James' fault. I doubt that the war would have happened without the support of Sirius behind them. However, they did give support, and even further, they gave military support, and entered the war as well. The second that you all pushed your little war button, you became entirely responsible for whatever mess this became. It was no longer just James, or whoever else originated this. And just because James got disgusted with everything and left does not mean that are suddenly absolved of responsibility. If you were not ready to make the commitment to go to war, you shouldn't have. And the second you started the war, you should have seen it out to your purposes. I would have been quite angry myself if my allies pledged support, went to war with me, and turned their tail to run thirty six hours later when people started crying about it.

    If you want to say James is some horrible person, that's your prerogative. But to say that he is entirely responsible for this entire situation? That is not only stupid, but also quite insulting to yourselves, the alliances of Sirius, to say that one man was able to influence your foreign policy so heavily.

    Back on October 12th, TSI celebrated its second birthday. And now that we've spent two weeks being drunk, and three days getting over our hangovers, we'd like to invite you over to celebrate with us. We're still a small group of friends that would rather play monopoly all weekend rather then argue the Sanction Race, but I promise you that we're still the cool bunch we've always been. If you ever need a place to relax or have fun, feel free to drop by #tsi.

    So come by and party, we've got free drinks! Kharn fell in the cake after that picture though, so all we have is liquor and some Halloween candy. We're also visual learners that love pictures.

    So, we've been pretty quiet all summer, but that doesn't mean we weren't doing anything. We searched high and low, for new friends, new strategies, and awesome places for a vacation home.

    We did some time at the gym, lost some weight, and learned that, as friendships, ours are some of the best out there.

    But, by the end of the summer, we had accomplished one major, important thing.

    We found the best place for that Vacation home.

  8. Aiding a nation being tech raided is not only widely accepted, but commonly practiced. \m/ would have absolutely no claim to declare that an action of war. Gremlins, however, would be different, since TBB declared offensive wars against them. However, I would say that \m/'s declarations minorly blurred the barrier on that one.

    Since when did going rogue on alliances become the "in" thing to do?
    [/quote]

    Pretty much since the beginning of the game, when people found alliances they didn't like. I'm pretty sure if we tried to keep track of everyone who went rogue on an alliance sometime in their life, we'd have an [i]extremely[/i] long list.

    How two faced can you be. You were the one that actively undermined Shure and Del Monte. Your hunger for power in TGE was unending, sadly your abilities were not.
    [/quote]

    It's been almost two years, you'd think I'd stop getting brought up. >_>

    As for the undermining, I won't speak for Delmonte, but I can say that it wasn't Chris that undermined me. Supported me, most definitely not, but he wasn't undermining me back then. He didn't have the power to. And either way, there were multiple stories getting thrown around back then, and I understand that not everyone was going to go with the same one right away. Luckily, mostly everyone has nowadays, and I have absolutely no problem with Chris, or Valdemar, or the former Frederick or anyone else. If anything, I feel a bit sad for Chris, because I know what the feeling is like to have endless ambition for a place and see it fall apart before you. I can't feel horribly sad, because he got the position in a coup in the first place.

    As for TGE.... You guys have to get it together. Back when Frederick was inactive, we didn't coup him. We stepped up, did more work, and attempted to either show him that he needed to be more involved, or that he needed to transfer power to someone who could be that involved. My point is that CnaedmacAilpn (By the way, who were you?) may call Chris power hungry, which I will say he was a tad, but those that took over are no less power hungry then he was. When you set a precedent of gaining power through coups and backhanded dealings, then you can only expect to receive them in turn. So, to be honest, if you want to fix TGE, the first thing you need to fix is your leadership.

    May I inquire as to the necessity of this remark? As I recall, we were called out only once, within the embassies portion. Our apologies to The Prolific Empire for our inactivity; our Foreign Affairs department was in overhaul, and we are currently organizing diplomats to be sent to our friends and neighbours. We shall get someone over there ASAP.
    [/quote]

    The necessity was based on the fact that TGE was initially listed under the embassies portion twice. The OP then read that post, and edited his OP to only have you in it once.

    Sorry bro, hate to disagree, but check LUE's warscreens. The war came with the merger.
    [/quote]

    Even so, reps don't carry over with a merger. You merge, you forfeit. I'd say that the clock was reset to zero the second the merger happened. I'm sure LUE will still want reps, but they can't claim reps for MK, as MK no longer exists. They can only claim reps for what happens from this day on.

    That's not true. At the time there was no publicly viewable SBA protection agreement on Echelon's forums.
    [/quote]

    I also proved this statement wrong to Citizenkane about two weeks ago. The treaty list on Echelon's website hadn't been edited since the beginning of February, and the SBA protection agreement was listed and viewable. I still have the screenshot I sent to Citizenkane.

    Yes, AirMe they've taken a lot of time in private to get this matter resolved. The fact is Echelon has been doing the same thing as C&G and TOP, requesting outrageous terms. We've all seen how well doing that will get things done.
    [/quote]

    Wait a minute. 50 Million in reps are outrageous? Excuse me? Are they even a drop in the bucket to you guys? TSI is a fourth of your size, and we just sent over 85 Million in rebuilding aid to NADC [i]voluntarily[/i]. It hasn't affected us at all.

    If 50 Million will seriously cripple your alliance, then you seriously don't deserve to be an alliance.
