  1. Rey, you know I rank your talents highly and you'd be first off the board in any other year, but you know this is Wiggins' time to shine.
  2. No Rampage on Council? :( Regardless, nice government and congratulations.
  3. -1 letter grade on your ally score, clearly
  4. Oh man, MEAT was mighty entertaining for its time. Of course colour politics are even less relevant now than they were then...
  5. Awwwww, now you've made me blush.
  6. You've had "recruit me" on your IRC tag, your OWF account and your OWF AA for days now. I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but if no one has actually tried to recruit you by now, the issue might be the product, not the buyer.
  7. The Stratephor works his magic once again. o/Sparta
  8. Different responses for different circumstances? I really don't see what the point of your argument here is, aside from the fact that you don't like the alliance in question. Classy move from GOONS, glad to see this one wrapped up amicably.
  9. I can't imagine why OcUK gov would be surprised when, after putting themselves into a position ripe for raiding with their own inactivity, the are, god forbid, raided? You're being completely unreasonable with not asking for anything other than white peace, but oh well. You have the right to make bad decisions.
  10. There's no implication anywhere within his post that the TOP-Polar treaty is anything other then a realpolitik move, and his use of the treaty as a "no u" provides a vibe of disdain. But no, I'm not trying to counter his point. I understand that alliances with past issues can bury their proverbial hatchet and develop a treaty relationship, and it's good to see GATO and NG doing exactly. We could use fewer older grudges around here.
  11. I will admit that the initial overtures for the TOP-Polar treaty were strategic in nature (Polar was facing an aggressive coalition of alliances bent on destroying them, and we needed to diversify our treaty setup and move out of the FA corner we were in), but it ultimately would not have happened had both sides not discovered that, yes, we do have like-minded characteristics and values. We discovered a lot about one another that just cemented our mutual desire to make things happen. People act like TOP only signs treaties for their outward impact, but if that was the case, we'd have 30 MD-level ties pulling us all over the web. We work to sign treaties with people that have similar ideas and values to our own, and if they don't, then it doesn't work out. The only difference between ourselves and yourselves in this regard is that our ideas and values themselves may be different.
  12. TOP are such monsters, demanding unjustified reps from their foes. Platycide 2014
  13. If you were actually trying to put this behind you (as the whole "last blog on this issue" would indicate), then you wouldn't be trying to seek attention and drama by making another blog post. I sincerely hope (but doubt) that this is the last comment on this blog.
  14. Yeah, I know you're trying to go down in a blaze of glory or something, but this really isn't the way to do it.
  15. How much does it hurt being compared to Tywin? (Unfairly, I might add)
  16. Congratulations to NG and GATO... clearly this has been in the works for a while. :)
  17. Did you even bother to finish reading the sentence you quoted before you made your post? Good luck to MXCA, have fun.
  18. Haven't heard much from Grämlins in a while- glad to hear they're still up and running. Congrats Gre and DBDC!
  19. Managed to get an HBO GO password off of a friend, so I actually did get to watch this tonight. Spoilers below:
  20. If the avatar/sig didn't let you know, I'm a big fan. Sadly I don't have HBO where I currently am so I won't be able to watch it until later
  21. This is unfortunate... we had a lot of good times riding with our friends and allies in that bloc. While current affairs have had us occasionally opposed, it was a grouping that I respected and always needed to be considered in international affairs. I wish nothing but the best of luck to the former Duckroll signatories in their new paths.
  22. You might want to bring your dirty laundry back inside before the wind blows it away. Good luck FAN, I suppose. Anything to keep you guys alive and active is good enough in my book.
  23. Yeah, really this. Congrats, NSO. I've gone from being your enemy to your ally to your opponent in those years, but somewhere along the line I picked up a fair few friendships in your ranks. You're good people though you sometimes try not to be, and, regardless of how others feel about your alliance, I think we can all agree that this world would be a less entertaining place without you. So here's to five more years, or hopefully less if this all goes away sooner. :wub:
  24. Best of luck to our allies in GOONS, it always sucks to lose a long-term ally.
  25. I think the point when it becomes obvious that a graph is being skewed in order to make a point is when the creator doesn't even bother to include comparative vertical and horizontal scales. So yeah, take whatever you read here with a grain of salt. Or 20, I pulled a Tywin and left my measure at home.
