[quote name='Great Lord Moth' timestamp='1323590278' post='2873691'] When I look at this declaration, all I can see is "Ragnarok has declared war on CSN." The disgrace is that it has come to former Superfriends fighting Superfriends. People have been talking about old grudges as of late. What of the old friendships? [/quote] Yeah it [i]is[/i] disconcerting. Dunno if able to get used to that. I know it is not much but i still do think a lot of you guys are great. [quote name='Isaac MatthewII' timestamp='1323591329' post='2873706'] Do you even know why RoK left SF? [/quote] Not the time or the place for this, imo.

Looking good, Isolde and Tower. Good luck.

There are no ramifications, or none that matter. The element of "omg i am screwed" is gone. Yes you are correct about that. Forcing cancellation of treaties has been tried, it does not work. Treaty clusters are like alliances used to be. A community. The increasing grudge backlogs keep these communities together. Or increasing sense of "we kicked em they will want to kick back" keeps treaty clusters together. Of course this does not explain the freebooting group that allies to the left or to the right as the situation demands or when they feel they have accomplished one goal and need to swap-out a partner or two for the next goal. That is interesting, and is creating some movement in the swamp to say the least. [quote name='Auctor' timestamp='1323368072' post='2869355'] great, a new way to get people to moan and whine about how their treaties are *actually* older if you don't count the forced cancellations. [/quote] Does the "Hiatus Effect" apply to treaties?

I am glad to see you making your own fun. More power to you on that bit. [quote name='Watson895' timestamp='1323319035' post='2868268'] Unfortunately NPO saw fit to call in their TPF dogs to defend them, even though we planned this as a nice even fight, where nobody could claim the fight was over before it began, but was entirely based on skill and activity. NATO is more effective, however, of the two. We always wanted to fight them, and we are happy to have the chance, good luck. [/quote] Sadly, no plan survives first contact with the enemy. But hey, i doubt you will be running out of bullets anytime soon. So yeah, have fun. Also, here is a shout out to Jack Tarr! The best goshdarned diplomat i have seen in a long while!

Hey i remember that series of events. It was messed up. Cant say you don't have a genuine grievance. Edit: So what is this, a third separate war? We already have TOP-Polar war, Fark-Pacifica war and now this one.

[quote name='foxfire99' timestamp='1323186584' post='2865718'] If Rok hits GOD there won't be much of them left for NPL. [/quote] We might, if the the mighty three in Ordo Paradoxia have left anything standing there. As for getting smashed for hitting GOD? Dude, you got to realize the concept of acceptable costs. While not all of RoK would relish the thought of hitting GOD, there is a fair good number who would like nothing better. Way they see it is, it helped Xiph and Impero out, now they can stop hunting for that illusive CB. If you guys figure you will get your crack at RoK for hitting GOD? Come on in, the water is lovely. The few of us that would not like hitting GOD, have no such qualms when it comes to you. Would be really worth shooting at your total NS and stats with our relatively miniscule stuff. Cant think of a better way to say $%&@ it all and so long while biting on your gangrenous ankles. Catharsis FTW!

Good luck guys. I know you both shall have fun. [quote name='Jtkode' timestamp='1323082976' post='2863590'] I hope you burn defending pacifica, thats the only thing you deserve by defending her... unoriginal thread unoriginal people o/ being npos new meatsheild. o/ new wae NATO [/quote] Dude, you seem angry about something.

Lol peanuts and sledgehammers.

Last month i was traveling, a long long long road trip. About halfway through the trip, the car radio started picking up a particular song on the FM stations from the cities we passed. It is a rather catchy song and soon the four of us were humming along. Nothing special so far, right? This was of course in India, for that is where i live. The first time we heard this song was in the state of Maharashtra. It is a predominantly Marathi speaking state. Those that know India will know that once you cross state borders within India, the languages change. Almost each state [except the cow belt] has its own language and a !@#$ton of dialects therein. Now the song which we are talking about was from a Tamil Movie. Tamil being the language of Tamilnadu, a state at the very south of India. Half a nation away. All the states we passed, the song followed us on the music radio stations. And yes it had become a pan India Hit. That is nice and all and yeah its a good catchy song. Today morning i got a mail from one of the Dutch friends i made on CN, who has since stopped playing. And he linked me to the same song on Youtube. I opened up facebook, and saw some americans linking the song on youtube. Then Brazilians. Almost made me spit out my coffee. I guess all it takes to be hit singer with a rapidly growing youtube hit count is a sense of "LOL"

You Murderer!!!!

use the flag icons created by Schatt. Those are likely the ones used in the sanction race.

Tattoos tend to turn horrid and disturbing as a person ages. Good to see that the GPA maintaining its attachment to its espoused principles, as ever.

[quote name='Delta1212' timestamp='1322609657' post='2856162'] I wasn't in the channel. [/quote] Much to the regret of many people.

I am waiting to grow up to be Vladimir Stukov-ish

[quote name='SoADarthCyfe6' timestamp='1322500111' post='2854913'] More DoW's avoiding to escalate the war by hitting IRON. Tsk tsk [/quote] Because we all know how well that logic served folks in the last semi global mash-up.

"Sup TOP" War.

[quote name='Demag' timestamp='1322498021' post='2854890'] I'm not questioning Valhalla's willingness to defend their allies, I was merely putting the shoe on the other foot for Bob Ilyani's benefit then anything else. Though I'm not sure why Valhalla would be going via their OA clause when they could still activate there defense clause but that's just semantics. [/quote] Depends on which clause gets triggered. If IRON was walking about minding its own business and someone jumped them, then Val's MD clause is activated and they come in and break some !@#$. If IRON gets all medieval on someone's ass and Val decides to swat down the counters, that is the oA clause being activated.

[quote name='Chief Savage Man' timestamp='1322493431' post='2854843'] Smurf should be booted because clearly Legion doesn't deserve him. [/quote] Thats one way of looking at it.

Why is TOP being ostracised?

[quote name='Tygaland' timestamp='1322474523' post='2854729'] About the reptiles in the polar regions or being bemused by a giant ice penis? [/quote] One gets in trouble with the school board for carving one out for the winter arts fair. Specially if is 12 feet tall.

Its not the first time a member or two has jumped the gun, i dunno get why the whole 3 ring circus was needed. It was expected you would defend, it was known you will come in today. Being as i like avalanche in general, i humbly suggest you did not need all that smoke and mirrors.

[quote name='Chalaskan' timestamp='1322464469' post='2854620'] So you are attacking TOP and the CCC? Oo Imagine that'd fly like a ROK. [/quote] XD Good one.

[quote name='SWAT128' timestamp='1322462330' post='2854552'] Do you honestly think we won't be coming to Polar's defense? We won't walk away from this treaty like you did to us. Just be patient and you'll get your war. Or if waiting a couple days is so very hard for you all, then feel free to declare on us yourselves. [/quote] I fully expect RIA to live up to all its treaty commitments. I also do not see a need to declare war on the RIA, specially when you are one of my favourite alliances out there. Add to that the fact that i dont have a CB or even the bare minimum of "i dont like your face" thing going at the moment. Pre-empting might be all the rage these past few years but we are sort of old fashioned. And i am all for people defending Polaris, contrary to popular belief some of my best friends reside on that AA. So as i said earlier in the thread. Congratulations to you both.
