And it doesn't make it any less funny to hear former hegemonists crying now that the shoe is on the other foot. "Oh lawdy lawdy, we haz seen the light!" [/quote] First off the GDA government has entirely different members in the government than it did in the NPO era so those comments we're completley ignorant of they situation they were in. Second multiple alliances rode on the coat tail of NPO until the Karma war then "saw the light" and fought against them. So before trying to call them hypocrites you should take a good look at some of your "allies" Third Athens raided an entire alliance, And got away with it. What right do you have to judge the GDA when you have no idea what was going on inside that alliance.

Oh don't get me wrong I didn't no much about his whole fiasco with Moo so I couldn't comment but yes he did build up the blue sphere, but it came crashing down just as fast. I should know..........I was there *Sniffles*

[quote name='Rebel Virginia' date='13 April 2010 - 09:24 PM' timestamp='1271208231' post='2259438'] [color="#0000FF"]You mean a man who's made the world a better place. He was instrumental in seeing NPO's hold on the world fall, and he made Polar one of the few independent alliances. Why, they'd be a much better alliance today if they had someone with his drive and ambition at the helm. But I do not need to justify Sponge to some insignificant like you.[/color] [/quote] See RV? You do deserve to be on this list , I mean that wasn't the wittiest insult but you're getting there! The world a better place without NPO around? I'm not their biggest fan either but I don't think so. And making Polar one of the independent alliances? You're a comedian too, this practically destroyed NpO's FA credibility and lets not forget him " disappearing " in the middle of the war and a new Emperor being crowned.

[quote name='shahenshah' date='14 April 2010 - 05:45 AM' timestamp='1271238284' post='2259903'] Subtitles have lost credibility with all the DoW puns [/quote] I definitley agree, I also think PIAT's are useless

[quote name='scutterbug' date='13 April 2010 - 06:42 PM' timestamp='1271198536' post='2259233'] A military treaty that currently isn't being activated due to IRON agreeing to terms with us and everybody else except Gre. A military treaty that won't be activated because IRON have told our government they wont be calling in any friends as they dont want things to escalate into another clusterbomb of a big war. I just won my own argument. Until any ally of IRON gets asked to come in then and only then might you see some support from MHA. Until then we are just another angry party and starting to suffer our own name dragged through mud thanks to Ram and his big old ego. Its great to see people target the only paper ally Ramlins currently hold. But this conflict is between IRON/Ramlins. Everybody else is merely on the byline waiting for IRON to win this. At the current rate of Ramlin members leaving it wont be long before they will be surrendering. Continue speculating as you so wish but we can go blue in the face going over any and all outcomes of what may/may not happen in this conflict. [/quote] The comment you responded to that started this debate was speculation, I'm not accusing MHA of anything except that fact that your treaty with them will call you to their defense if attacked. Thats the point that was being made from the beggining. Most of this thread will consist of speculation because for the most part the major conflict is over. It's just a few alliances skirmishing now. This allows us to look towards the future using facts and reasoning and evidence that we have now. Therefore we shall SPECULATE!

[quote name='hizzy' date='13 April 2010 - 05:57 PM' timestamp='1271195820' post='2259180'] All I've got to say on this is that hopefully people will finally learn that no matter how much you "wub" eachother (you silly little school girls, you), an eternal treaty is just a retarded idea. [/quote] lol, I love you hizzy

[quote name='scutterbug' date='13 April 2010 - 05:26 PM' timestamp='1271193954' post='2259123'] I fail to see anything militarily currently being provided to Ramlins. Please tell me how we can support them militarily when we are offering nothing? Im sure you can do better than silly little arguments like that. [/quote] The fact is that you have a military treaty with them, try to refrain from killing your own arguement.

[quote name='nippy' date='13 April 2010 - 04:31 AM' timestamp='1271147465' post='2258519'] Please provide a link to said tech raid, otherwise you're just talking out of your $@! and trying to make us look bad. [/quote] What he was saying was that since he declared on Gramlins and your allaince didn't consider him a threat or take him seriously, so if you attack him it's a tech raid not a war, TECHnically................. Okay that was a bad pun, I'm sorry

[quote name='Anu Drake' date='02 April 2010 - 01:23 PM' timestamp='1270228981' post='2245491'] I enjoy Rebel Virginia and Electron Sponge too much to put them on the list, but I wouldn't defend them. But it takes one to know one. I'm a complete egomaniac within NATO, just not so much out here or on IRC. [/quote] But you don't cross the threshold where you become a complete douche bag, I think this thread was formed to list the people who would be a target of our angry mobs.

[quote name='Banksy' date='24 March 2010 - 07:07 AM' timestamp='1269428808' post='2235137'] How has no one mentioned Electron Sponge yet? [/quote] LMAO thank you! A man who's arrogance knows no bounds and sent the Blue sphere on a spiraling trip to hell

[quote name='Penlugue Solaris' date='12 April 2010 - 02:45 PM' timestamp='1271097930' post='2257532'] I'd rather burn MK to the ground then ever have Haflinger as a member. [i]Literally[/i] revolt. Hatred comes from his terrible, terrible, terrible posting and manner of conducting himself. I hope to god this change means he is done. Invicta could start to regain respect if that is the case. [/quote] Woah!!, Did I miss something?

[quote name='Laserwolf' date='10 April 2010 - 07:59 PM' timestamp='1270943946' post='2255919'] I'm gonna step in for the moment and provide an answer to this. Magic is free to answer as well. As someone who has been involved in the Foreign Affairs Ministry since just after GW3 in many different leadership positions, I wanted to speak specifically to this question. I see GATO as being steady of voice in this world. We may not be in the OWF all the time, but in our embassies and on IRC we are connecting with others and building friendships and making ourselves available to help solve issues that may come up with our friends/allies. We have only been out of the Viceroy era for almost a year now so in essence we are a semi-new alliance with 4 years of experience in many respects that provided us with a clean slate to start with for the newer generation but still working to show ourselves changed for the older generation. The post-Viceroy era has brought about a new paradigm/philosophy within GATO and our FA dept especially. In short: [indent]The 1V War and subsequent Viceroy era is a hinge-point in GATO's history. Prior to the war, our FA philosophy centered around easing tensions with WUT/UJP/tC/1V/NPO and allies and making friends that shared our ideals and would defend us should/when we were attacked again. Most of the questions in the election debates for MoFA at that time centered around building/repairing relations with said alliances and who could we ally with. Now post 1V war & Viceroy era, our FA philosophy has changed in that we don't have to worry about NPO as our relations are cordial. So we can really focus our FA efforts on building solid, true friendships - not just allies but friends. This change in philosophy has upped the responsibility of our ambassadors to truly see if their assignments are a good fit for GATO and have allowed us to have good, thorough Q & A times to really get to know people.[/indent] [/quote] Let me start by saying I really appreciate someone with your knowledge and experience coming out to answer my question. It sounds like GATO will be one of the major mediators in upcoming events due to the age and status of your alliance. It's foreign affairs people like you that keep idiotic conflicts like this one from breaking out. I'm hoping GATO will help quell the uprising of the egotistical alliances that run amok today. I've never known much about GATO but from my experience so far you guys seem all right and I'm curious to see the impact that you'll have in the future. Regardless you'll be hearing from us soon

[quote name='Kevin McDonald' date='09 April 2010 - 11:46 PM' timestamp='1270871180' post='2255091'] Well, Napoleon, you really hung Snowball out to dry. Methinks you should let your actions do the talking from hereon out, and leave the OWF be for a while. [/quote] Thats a little harsh isnt it?

GATO is one of the oldest alliances in the game, I'm curious as to how you foreign relations affairs have changed betwen then and now?

Much Love Invicta o/

Wow, I've seen alot of petty arguements but this is ridiculous.

[quote name='delendum' date='09 April 2010 - 11:17 PM' timestamp='1270869434' post='2255046'] And so the thread has been won. [/quote] Unfortunatley not by a long shot. What he said was well put, very intelligent,and accurate, But people who do not share the same perspective, especially immature ones will just flame his post, or try to make him look like an idiot. It's just sad that all of this bickering has been brought into a thread which acknowleges a friendship between these two.

I don't understand what the arguing is about. A PIAT means that a friendship is growing between two alliances. Considering that they should've been at odds with eachother during the last 2 conflicts last war, this is progress at work here. I don't see why people feel the need to bring the bad blood between Fark, Polaris and NSO into this thread or petty grudges between alliances leaders. Do you people live off of senseless drama or something?

[quote name='Ruler with Plan X' date='09 April 2010 - 02:43 PM' timestamp='1270838589' post='2254483'] Why's that? [/quote] The topic name had me thinking, " What an elite spy organization? An investigate press corps? Cracking down on tech raiders? Internal affairs issues?" The ideas seem far fetched but judging from what I've seen on CN so far, you never know whats coming next.

[quote name='Caliph' date='09 April 2010 - 12:58 AM' timestamp='1270789120' post='2253997'] How is this alliance going against "impossible odds" when the only alliance they are at war with is Grämlins, who is engaged against IRON and others? [/quote] No offense to Methrage, What he is doing is very noble but you and I both know it will take more than them + IRON to bring Gramlins down a few notches.

[quote name='Centurius' date='09 April 2010 - 02:14 PM' timestamp='1270836860' post='2254458'] Good to see this finally done Gairyuki, you know NV is open for you if you need anything. [/quote] He's right, we couldn't ask for better protectors or friends.

After reading Freedom Of The Seas I was expecting something along those lines. Congrats anyway

[quote name='Ying Yang Mafia' date='07 April 2010 - 08:21 PM' timestamp='1270686057' post='2252337'] The despicable nations of NEW violated my national sovereignty by raiding tech and land during the last war. I feel that they should be dealt with swiftly and harshly. And don't even get me started on the horrible transgressions committed by TOP as they raided tech and land from C&G. [/quote] Ummm, I could swear that was called a war. Also I recall Athens raiding an entire alliance so it looks like you got what you deserved,
