I just want you to know, that I reactivated/found the password for my OWF account so that I could wish you good luck. Chax, if that ain't friendship, I don't know what is.

I think that I was ordered to post here in appreciation of bunny pron. I have done so and am now free of all commitments to my furry overlords. Anybody have a holy hand grenade?

BRB, declaring war.

Love Europa, consider the TOOLies friends.... 'tis a said say for FEAR. Good luck to all, and I hope for the best.

Good luck to you. I'd also like to mention that most raiding alliances here on Planet Bob have a lower membership count before that alliance is off limits. (IE, most alliances state that any AA with over 5-10 members is off limits to raiders). But to each their own. Should be an interesting crossover

Fun little fight. Cheers.

R3, you're good people Congrats to you and all of Paragon. Here's to another year and more growth!

[quote name='Lord Boris' timestamp='1299391941' post='2654178'] It's tough for all-out nuclear warfare when half of the game's upper nations are camped out in hippie mode. It's either that, or Planet Bob suffers from a premature detonation problem. [/quote] Even saying half you've overestimated it, Boris. There are only 23 nations in all of Bob that are in anarchy and over 70k NS. Assuming that any nation over 70k is going to have an MP and nukes, this means that there are only 23 nations on Bob over 70k that have been at war for over a day. Far more than half of their upper tiers, almost all of them are in peace mode! Now, this of course does not count those who started up there and were nuked down, but still. Only 23 in all the alliances and nations fighting? And, before someone says anything, this is not meant to disparage anyone's choice of strategy/tactics. I understand that keeping a sizable force back for the time after nuclear Armageddon is probably the best option available at this point for quite a few of the alliances out there. It is simply a note that there is almost nobody left in the upper tiers who is in war mode and currently fighting.

Muddog is good people. I trust that Leora is as well.

Nicely done, R&R. Just as classy as I've come to expect from you guys.

Well, it's sure nice to be included. Thanks Gopherbashi.

I want to officially apologize for coming to your forums, receiving a BFF member mask, and promptly posting in our embassy, thus negating its inclusion in this list. Apparently, I was supposed to spam up the Government forums and defecate in the fish tank. My Bad.

Thanks for all the congratulatory remarks, people o/ FEAR o/ Wolfpack o/ BFF (yes Europa, that means you too)

A Happy Birthday to my BFF. The double meaning of that treaty still holds true.

[quote name='Kevin McDonald' timestamp='1291339693' post='2528497'] what you mean to say is you're protected by Europa's allies. [/quote] Well, us too. Edit: You know, at the time I wrote this I thought it was a bit of a ridiculous claim by someone that I would respond to, but would not really require a back and forth over three pages... Then I read the rest of the thread. What it comes down to is this: Europa does not need our permission to do a damned thing. They are a sovereign alliance. I also happen to trust them implicitly. So, if they say Pesarus is worth protecting, then they are worth protecting. If they choose to put their necks out for this protectorate, then I am willing to do so as well. That is what our treaty is. Hell, that is what every treaty [i]should[/i] be. Thus, Europa is offering protection both for through their own NS and through the NS of those attached to them. If this is bothersome to you for some reason, or if it is bothersome that an alliance relies on their allies for protection of their interests, then someone needs to evaluate what an ally is or who their allies are. [quote] My point is if you cannot protect an alliance without the help of others, which you have admitted, then you should not be protecting alliances. Or did you get FEAR, Wolfpack, Invicta et al's permission before you signed this protectorate?[/quote] To follow up on what Clash said, and what I noted above, this is a patently ridiculous assertion. Planet Bob currently possesses 499,290,845 Total Nation Strength. Do you think that GOD's ~4.3 million NS would be able to protect themselves, let alone another alliance, from any reasonable proportion of that NS? Any reasonably sized bloc? Despite our troubles with GOD, oh so long ago, I am not trying to be a rabble rouser here. I am simply contending that single alliances cannot protect themselves or anyone else from any of the reasonable threats that could face an alliance. We all rely on our allies for such protection. To assert otherwise is to misconstrue the nature of Planet Bob in a manner which is facile at best. Europa: Much love. Pesarus: I look forward to getting to know you better. I think rather highly of your protectors, don't abuse their trust.

[quote name='Lord Curzon' timestamp='1289893290' post='2514355'] I don't understand everyone's problem here. This is announcement represents a major degeneration in the relations between two major powers. Diplomatic rows represent said degeneration. Stop fishing guys. [/quote] Basically, this. Yeah, the timing is a bit convenient. Yes, they are likely trying to benefit from some positive PR (and the OP just screams this, imo), but honestly... it is only given the events of the last week that so many people seem to be going apoplectic over this. It is in no way unreasonable to post that MK and NPO are having a pissing contest over some poor choices regarding diplomats; it's just [i]really[/i] convenient.
