There she goes, Like a, like a star with Her body shaped Like a rock guitar

Oh yes, we were definetely scared of GOONS, that has to be it. Caliph, I consider you to be smart and knowledgeable enough to understand the way this game works. Both our sides are making their decisions with the grand picture in mind. We are both in a different situation and are working to come out on top of this. To taunt the opponnent for playing the political game is simply semantics. I'm quite sure that if you had the manpower to call in, you would commit the same apparently "atrocious" dogpiles as well.

Because DH's beatdowns over the past years werent lopsided? Because GOONS never extracted unneccessary reps? Because your side never extracted reps from alliances who were simply chained in? It was a strategy to keep LoSS fresh and in reserve until certain alliances on your side where place. You are misplacing my words.

That is correct, ODN was an enabler, just like 3/4 of your so loudly propagated "hegemony" alliances. There is literally no difference between you and them except for the fact that you flipped sides when things got rough while they stuck it out. Enabling of and participation in acts of aggression puts you in as much blame as the enabled. Most of us have moved on from the days of 5 years back, but if you insist on bringing it up we can not help but correct you. as for the second part of your post... Please just stop. LoSS made it clear from scratch that they were with us. (Magic confirmed so in this very thread). They came in later at our request. Perhaps you should stop assuming and guessing so much and stick to the facts.

...Pot calling the kettle black much? This is funny coming from a hegemony alliance that abandoned the ship just before it sank, flipped to side with the "new hegemony" and enabled them in their oppression for multiple years. You can do better than this. They waited because throwing all we have on one heap for easy pickings would be silly. Ever heard of strategy, buddy?

Well golly, Methuselah's buttocks couldn't sustain such a feature. Poor ODN and INT. This will hurt.

[quote name='Sardonic' timestamp='1358701692' post='3081021'] Please Doc, tell us how you really feel. While I'm always flattered about people's attempt to turn threads that are not about GOONS into threads about GOONS, you and your fellow bad posters' analyses are flawed as ever. [b] I don't claim to know everything about your little corner of paradise, and you certainly shouldn't claim to know how GOONS conducts our diplomacy, [/b]and how much we allegedly depend on Umbrella for everything[b].[/b] Thank you though, it's detractors like you that remind me why we do the things we do. Why GOONS is exceptional in garnering such ramblings from people. I can't even fathom how many mangled words have been written about GOONS over the ages. [/quote] Yet here we have rey doing exactly that, even before we responded. Muzzle your own dog before you attempt to muzzle others.

disregard.

[quote name='Neo Uruk' timestamp='1358666186' post='3080821'] I know. It's mind blowing. And yet, you're the one stuck in a coalition punching far, far above its weight. Who do you think made a better niche for itself? GOONS, who is still sitting in the winners circle? Or poor pitiful TIO, who has as many people looking at them as a threat to Umbrella as NATO or? NSO [/quote] Even if we punch above our weight - something which is yet to be seen -, At least we had the guts to stand up and do so, that seems like a positive to me, if anything. Your statement on TIO not being a threat.... You're in GOONS. You can't be serious here?

[quote name='Neo Uruk' timestamp='1358664888' post='3080806'] The irony of? You were literally in Synergy. Your greatest achievement as an alliance is being treatied to NPO and trying, and failing miserably, to tackle Umbrella. [/quote] The irony of this comment coming from a member of a weak reformation of the actual GOONS. A member of a glorified tech farm that has not done a single thing other than prey on those weaker than them, using the strength and influence of their masters as a shield to pretend having a semblance of power. Your barking is hilarious at best, as everyone but you knows that it only takes one yank on the leash from your masters to shut you up, as without their military and financial aid...you would be unable to cary out any significant operation. Yet here you are, calling out others on their supposed failings w[b]hile boasting with the stats of your masters.[/b]

[quote name='Neo Uruk' timestamp='1358664354' post='3080789'] I guess you'll see the meatgrinder in action. And TIO is and has always been a joke. [/quote] I look forward to experiencing your "war prowess". The irony in your second statement is overwhelming.

[quote name='Sweeeeet Ronny D' timestamp='1358663531' post='3080766'] I understand that its strategdy, its the same one you used last war when you guys used 1000 nations to fight VE. But bragging about how awesome you are is pretty sad when it involves outnumbering an opponent by more than 10-1. [/quote] Yet your own alliance compatriot just pointed out that the scales are even where it counts? There is no 10-1 ratio in the top-tier, which is according to you guys, all that counts.

[quote name='Neo Uruk' timestamp='1358663066' post='3080760'] Have you seen us when we aren't fighting off high tier nations who dropped into our range? We're pretty monstrous in an even fight![/quote] I have not seen you fight an "even" war without interference from allies, no. As such, I can not believe you. Feel free to prove me wrong this war. [quote]Your alliance has always been a joke.[/quote] Classic "no u". You can do better.

[quote name='Sweeeeet Ronny D' timestamp='1358662996' post='3080758'] Are you really bragging about the fact you guys needed to form a group of 1200 nations to try to take down 100? [/quote] Y'know, that is a somewhat silly statement. It's called pooling top tiers together. You know, strategy and stuff. Plus we are fairly certain that the rest of those 1200 will see action before the war ends.

[quote name='Neo Uruk' timestamp='1358662050' post='3080740'] Let's see if you can be honest with yourself: how much of an effort do you expect the likes of Sparta and all the other wastes of NS to give when we still outnumber you where it counts. Remember that GOONS bottom tier is known to hold its own off the loot we capture and that the upper tier game still belongs to us. [/quote] GOONS holding its own off of loot? I thought it was due to the the life support funds systematically provided by umbrella.

Good showing, NSO! I'm glad to join you on the field.

It's time....

[quote name='MitchellBade' timestamp='1358519732' post='3078592'] There was a reason the original treaty was downgraded in the first place, and I've seen nothing of change in MCXA to give reason as to why this merited a reversal. But hey keep on working on that 'sphere of influence' of yours, I'm sure it'll work like a charm. Albeit I enjoy your fascination with me, it is starting to get Anne Wilkes creepy. I may have to take out a restraining order on you. [/quote] I am rather amused at this. I'll tell you the same as I told you on IRC: If you have grievances, query me and provide some logical rhetoric. [quote name='Steve Buscemi' timestamp='1358533056' post='3078654'] I love you Turin. Thank you for making this treaty easy to read. Now I'll go back to drinking my ovaltine. [/quote] You're welcome buddy. The name's Partisan, for future reference though. (OOC: My darn name change app hasn't been processed yet)

ehhhh? Go home BFF, you're drunk. Sad to see any alliance go.

Congratulations to our allies in Argent and friends in Sengoku. This is a quality pairing.

It's been great working with you guys. I look forward to seeing our relations prosper.

Congratulations to my allies in RnR!

[quote name='Rayvon' timestamp='1355377755' post='3063234'] I guess SF > NSO/NPO/DR ... They didn't want to get washed up in our influence but rather build their own .... [/quote] I expected better of you as a leader than to air grievances you may have in public using speculation. You are doing a good job at alienating people with comments like that.

A man has to do what a man has to do. I salute our new allies! EDIT: Don't feed the rumours :x
