[quote name='Manis B' timestamp='1314758290' post='2791382'] Well we cant all be 10KNS with an WRC now can we? Im defending my alliances the best way I know how, and it seems to be working out ok so far. And surely you don't think having friends is a weakness? After all, RFK had to defend you. [/quote] Actually, it's fairly easy for an alliance to have several nations around 10k NS and full of wonders. GATO might know that if they stayed in any wars for longer than two days. Tetris had a nuclear nation in our range for a while. We fought each other near the beginning of the war. I don't believe having friends are a weakness. Weakness is when your friends have to take care of your responsibilities because you overstepped your bounds. [quote name='letub' timestamp='1314758584' post='2791388'] Wouldn't that be what friends are for? Oh wait, I forgot you wouldn't know. [/quote] Sweet burn bro. "A" for effort?

[quote name='Manis B' timestamp='1314756912' post='2791362'] also hey Motorfist, hows life? [/quote] It's been great seeing that GATO and Tetris have a lot in common. Neither of you can defend your own protectorates without enlisting the aid of your friends.

[quote name='USMC123' timestamp='1314683372' post='2790856'] I never once refused to speak to you about terms. That is a lie. [/quote] As I previously stated, I have no proof to back up my accusation. However, you know how it went down and I know how it went down. [quote name='AirMe' timestamp='1314703217' post='2790939'] Anywho, if the Zombie Squad is interested in negotiating. I am willing to talk. Shoot me a PM or catch me on IRC. A PM is probably better. I am a fair and reasonable guy and if interested I am sure we can hammer some details out. [/quote] Thank you for extending the invitation for talks but I don't think they are necessary. We peaced out with NAAC several days ago and hold no ill will towards Ronin. If you still wish to attack us, it's completely understandable. [quote name='USMC123' timestamp='1314747088' post='2791270'] ...Taking a 9k ns nation and depleting it's (iirc) $375 million warchest to $125 with what, two(?) rounds of them fighting a nuclear nations. It's a war of attrition and is a war we are winning... [/quote] Your recollection regarding my warchest is correct. You taking sole credit for it's depletion is laughable. It has taken me around 6 months to get to where I am from about 1.5 billion Dong. My goal was to be broke by the end of this month. If I was to stay at war with only Tetris, it would've taken way too long to spend the rest of my cash. That is one of the reasons why I have moved on to more formidable adversaries. If you wish to call it a war of attrition, then yes you are winning...by default.

[quote name='USMC123' timestamp='1314682016' post='2790851'] If you are on IRC, I'd be more than happy to discuss it with you. Being said, I don't see how that has anything to do with my own personal arrogance and how that relates to your hostilities towards us. To add to the irony, it was Hereno who cancelled on SUN. Assuming makes an ass out of you and me no? [/quote] Now you want to discuss this on irc? After all the refusals you gave us because we apparently weren't worthy to discuss terms with you? Another error on your part. As Tetris' military commander, you really need to ask yourself if you have done [u]anything[/u] right during this ordeal. And I apologize for my poor choice of words in my previous post. I did not mean to insinuate that you, personally, cancelled your treaty with SUN, but that your alliance did.

[quote name='USMC123' timestamp='1314678576' post='2790833'] Provide examples of such arrogance please. [/quote] Since we have not had a conversation on irc and none of the 99 messages in my inbox are from you, I can't. However, I believe you have just shown an example of your arrogance. The only thing you replied to from my last post was the comment regarding your arrogance. You did not even address how you paid a member of SUN to come after me then cancelled your treaty with them 2 hours later.

[quote name='blueski' timestamp='1314676331' post='2790804'] Congrats to Zombie Squad on their glorious victory. [/quote] Thank you. [quote name='Hereno' timestamp='1314675329' post='2790799'] Well, it's not that they need to be appreciative in the sense of telling us how great we are for protecting them. I wouldn't expect even a 'thank you'; although one would be nice, it's simply not necessary. We're a sovereign alliance and we protected them, and subsequently followed through on that protection of our own accord. We were no coerced, and they never asked us for this protection. My problem lies in then giving us lip for not overstretching our lower tier which is already in poor shape from fighting nuke rogues with WRC's and several-hundred-million-dollar warchests. Our upper tier sent them aid, even if that meant our smaller nations would be doing without for now, and our lower tier nations fought the best they could with all the help we could give them. For a 1m NS alliance, I think we did a fantastic job as protectors. Sanctioned alliances have problems dealing with rogues who have nukes and WRC's in their 8k NS range. To post this announcement then, and have the likes of AirMe and Johnathan Buck air all of this in public as though we sat back and watched Rome burn is inappropriate, insulting, and precisely the kind of behavior that caused us to drop the protection in the first place. If that's an unreasonable position to take, then I'm an unreasonable person. [/quote] I somewhat understand where you're coming from and you seem reasonable. If we were dealing with you rather than USMC, much of the aggression towards your alliance may have been avoided. We continued and intensified our attacks on Tetris due to USMC's arrogance. Your alliance is not as high and mighty as you are leading everyone to believe. Don't forget that you severed ties with State of Unified Nations 2 hours after they came in to help you out. Now that was inappropriate.

[quote name='USMC123' timestamp='1314672522' post='2790776'] Still negates his point about how many wars and nukes he's eaten. [/quote] Well, I don't recall how many of each he claims but a quick look at the nuke reports states 12 nukes within the last month and the last one sent by rfk on 8/15. It appears that rfk or jbuck have deleted at least one of their wars. That month also includes 5 days in which he peaced out. I would think that 12 nukes in the last month is equal to or greater than any single nation in Tetris has taken. Maybe not, we have sent a ton of nukes your way. That said, we have become bored with your alliance as the mission has been accomplished and there are no more nations in our NS that are worth fighting. We have moved on and if you wish to proceed with trying to attack us, good luck finding a slot. Edited for clarification.

[quote name='USMC123' timestamp='1314670033' post='2790751'] No. It does not. If you observe Shotgun's behavior in the thread, I'm sure you can see why we did. [/quote] While you could argue that we are not the main reason, I don't believe you could say we had nothing to do with it. At the very least, we were the catalyst. I have read his replies and from my brief history with jonathan buck I would venture to say they are not typical of his character. And give him a break about the whole he hasn't fought since 7/24, Tetris' last offensive war was on the same date.

[quote name='d3filed' timestamp='1314660212' post='2790658'] Congratulations on your victory Zombie Squad. [/quote] Thank you. [quote name='USMC123' timestamp='1314664347' post='2790678'] I know some of you have poor reading comprehension, but Zombie Squad is not at peace nor has achieved victory. In fact, this cancellation has literally nothing to do with them. Nice try though. [/quote] "Literally" has [u]nothing[/u] to do with us...OK...if you say so. While we may not be at peace with you, I can assure you we have become victorious in what we set out to achieve.

[quote name='Pollard' timestamp='1314659388' post='2790652'] Because we can. [/quote] No you couldn't, you couldn't even protect your own nations. NAAC did a much better job at protecting themselves than you did. Zombie Squad approves this announcement.

Thanks for the friendly competition Zenith, it was fun. Very classy concession speech as well, it shows just how respectful and honorable you are.

Its nice to see a positive result come from negative circumstances. My friends over at US are always fighting the good fight. Good luck to Tsar and his new strategy.

Same to you, you STA guys are a class act. SDI's didn't seem very effective in any of my wars, on boths sides of the fight.

My opponents from STA, NSO and MK were respectful, honorable and put up one hell of a fight. Special shout out to CoolFool of STA, he has to be one of the most honorable players in the game.

I predict that this is going to be your answer: And you will not be given any further explaination.
