PS: Don't forget your agenda, Tyga. You'll find it all by it's lonesome in the now empty twinkie safe.

It's been so many years and so many laughs and so many rages. I had SO much fun with Frostbite. I remember when we were negotiating that while I was on a sidekick on a car ride from Pittsburgh to Boston. The bipolar war is still so very WTF in my head. I've made friends... actual friends who I talk with regularly. I haven't been very active since my kid learned to walk, but I look back fondly on Bob and especially on STA. Za Sibir, friends. Here's my axe.

Shhh. That happens at 4m.

I assure you, most of what you've heard has been greatly exaggerated. Not all of it though, I really was a horrible !@#$%* to Dajobo back in the day and he didn't deserve that. The feelings in STA's upper echelon are mixed, but there is not a one of us who hates NpO. I don't think any of us have ever said anything even close to that. I've defended at least as much as I've criticized, and I think that goes for at most of us.

Yeah, that's where we are too. The feelings are very diverse, and "STA" doesn't feel any one way. And ultimately, it only matters what Tyga thinks. :P

Our feelings for Polar are really complicated. They're certainly not as simple as "I hate Polar." and the reasons are much, much more complicated than what you have described. Our history is complicated. STA has many reasons for our feelings toward Polaris. As far as we can tell, Polar has one reason for their feelings toward STA. It is what it is. We'll work it out one way or another. You're right though. The prevailing sentiment in STA toward Polaris is not one of hate.

Yeah, we'd have been happy to surrender. That sort of thing doesn't bother us.

Good war. It was a fun time. Congrats to everyone!

We have stayed the same. The world around us has changed, but we have stayed the same. We're happy with the way we are, but it causes us to see things differently. It's not NpO's fault. It's ours for expecting others to feel the way we do. It's that simple.

Thank you for this, and from the last person I expected to see it from. Truly, thank you.

Yeah, that sounds about right.

Fair enough, really.

For the record, IRON's upper tier remains in peace mode.

Jyrinx has said what I want to say, only so much better, as he so often does. Thank you, Jyrinx.

Frankly, it's because we expended both our political capital and our nations by defending Polaris for years, and since we ended our treaty, we'd been told several times by NpO that even though you knew it was over, you'd still protect us when push came to shove. Then, when that day came, you were unwilling to spend a little political capital on STA when you were absolutely in a position to do so. We'd never expect you to prevent us from being countered. That's absurd. Of course we should be countered by NADC's allies. But this? No. This is the sort of thing would wouldn't have been surprised to hear that you'd prevented once the war was over. Instead, we've heard that you approved of it. That's why we're disappointed. Perhaps it's my fault. Perhaps I misunderstood. Good luck with your wars. I hope it's all worth it to you.

So to recap for everyone, IRON ignored their treaty with NG, then declared war on an alliance protecting their ally. Then, instead of having one of NADC's actual allies declare on us, IRON declares on STA using not 1, but 4 treaties to get to an oA to enter against us, a much, MUCH smaller alliance attacking an alliance IRON is not allied to and with whom we are pretty evenly matched. It serves no strategic value whatsoever, and no matter how hard I try, I can't figure out why you'd choose to do this rather than do something that actually HELPS your coalition. Shame on IRON. We now know why it took you so long to enter the war... you had to stop to search for your dignity. It looks like you weren't able to find it. Shame on FARK. We thought a lot of you before this nonsense and have had several discussions with TPF about getting closer to you. You were one of the few alliances we truly respected. And to NpO: Our illusions have been shattered. We know. Yeah. Oops.

Shame on you. I thought better of you. All of STA did.

No. They didn't like this. I promise, UPN was upset by the whole thing, and tried very hard to keep us safe.

Nope. You know quite well that we have bigger fish to fry.

Oh, I don't blame you for declaring. We know there's a plan and the why and all that. I just want to hear Mogar justify it. :P

Please explain what attacking STA does to end the war ASAP. I'll wait.

I, too, would like to see this.

It's good to see you. Also, we literally cheered when we saw this declaration. It was one of the best days in the history of Siberia.

That pretty much says it all.

Can you just stop? In your nation's over 4 years in the Cyberverse, you've had all of 500,000 casualties. You know nothing of war. You've been running your mouth in a way that makes a complete ass of yourself here for too long. Absolutely no one takes you seriously, including your own alliance, as evidenced by the fact that the leader of it has already declared you to be "separate" from it. Normally, I'd be content to just let someone embarrass themselves here, but it's getting to the point now where your posts are so bad I literally cringe when I read them, and it's uncomfortable. You are really, really bad at this. Please, save yourself the dignity and stop it.
