Bill Wallace

Bob and Joe did indeed offer up Kait and if I remember correctly, Ardus called them out on it as a poor attempt to hang with the "cool kids". Didn't stop MK from going after Kait, but at least they made it clear that though the sacrificial lamb was a nice gift, it was in no way going to change anything. Whether the coup was legal or right to do, do any of you really care? The fact is Bob misplayed a bad hand, it blew up in his face, and Ragnarok still exists, albeit as a stumbling and bumbling AA right now, but they are still here, and that makes some of us happy for obvious reasons.

[quote name='Kzoppistan' timestamp='1328142427' post='2912811'] On one side, I want to say that it's pretty shady to drop an ally because of some internal troubles, a good ally lends a hand or offers support.[/quote] Well the reality is you're damned if you do, damned if you don't. Schatt did a better than average spin job when VE tried to help OV during their last days as he attempted to make us look like NPO pre-Karma when we tried to help them right their ship before they were no more. On the other hand, it would have been cool if NoR took a "Damn the torpedoes!" approach and hung in there to see where this all lead.

In my humble opinion, I would like to state for the record that the Viridian Entente has more rights to the Ragnarok carcass than does the Mushroom Kingdom. Someone should make a poll.

Noooooooooooo! It's in my head and won't get out.

[quote name='Buds The Man' timestamp='1327408937' post='2906132'] really Bill whom, I would love to hear daddy VE tell me. My statement is accurate MJ is 1-0. Despite what many have tried to do we have survived and came out on top. Whether that lasts or not who knows but at this point my statement is absolutely correct. If you wanted to have changed that outcome you and your had your chance recently but chose not too.[/quote] I'll concede your point, but I was thinking more long term. It's the optimist in me I guess. And as for changing outcomes, I tried. I truly did, but alas I'm nothing more than a minor annoyance. Lol. Also, "daddy VE" - I smiled a little bit.

[quote name='Buds The Man' timestamp='1327345183' post='2905622']we not only survived but we thrived and [size="5"][b]won[/b][/size].[/quote] Whoa Whoa Whoa! Hold on there cowboy. Don't hang up those pistols just yet as it's not even high noon and there's a few more hombres out here that you'll have to tangle with before getting to make that claim.

[quote name='Daimos' timestamp='1326291852' post='2897394']I think VE does not get enough credit on the role they played in Karma. [/quote] I blame Schattenmanalamadingdong.

[quote name='Solaris' timestamp='1325887940' post='2894310'] But as they say, there's always more milk to those with a keen sense organ of choise. [/quote] If you were at my house right now, I'd be up and getting you another drink.

I'd only go so I could hear people mispronounce "Viridian Entente" as "Viridian Ententay".

[quote name='Methrage' timestamp='1325012211' post='2887375'] I think as their terms, they agree to never ask for reps again or ask any terms of alliances any harsher than what's being asked of them, which would just be not to force reps out of others later if GOD is let off the hook. [/quote] Would you like a marshmallow with that rainbow or should I just give it to the unicorn?

[quote name='ishabad' timestamp='1325001418' post='2887290'] This guy tried recruiting me hes that sad [/quote] You should reapply. There's a mission brief waiting for you.

Merry Christmas to all of you as well. [quote name='Schattenmann' timestamp='1324684764' post='2885153'] Merry Christmas, everyone! Happy Chanukah, NPO! [/quote] I've been meaning to tell you how good you look in green.

[quote name='supercoolyellow' timestamp='1324667636' post='2884985'] This confuses me, what ever happened to that TOP-VE ODP you guys signed a few months back? [/quote] It's still around, but Crymson has done his best to crap and pee all over it. In fact anyone who thinks Xiph is the biggest jerk on Planet Bob hasn't spent more than 30 seconds around Crymson.

[quote name='Aeros' timestamp='1324664443' post='2884959'] Please don't. We need more threads like this. I've not been so entertained since Vlads thread updating us about the GOD war. [/quote] Please don't what? I have no intentions to fix anything. If the VE academy is indeed responsible for producing pigeon toed, 4' tall kids with giant white helmets and turning them loose on the world, then that is our gift to Planet Bob.

I haven't quite connected all of the dots as of this posting, but I'm going to go ahead and blame the Viridian Academy for this.

[quote name='Sarmatian Empire' timestamp='1324503211' post='2883483'] You declared war on Neb X...you stepped aside [/quote] It's been a long day so would it be too much to ask what exactly do you mean?

[quote name='Chalaskan' timestamp='1324498005' post='2883433']Your friendship with VE has hurt them, and cost them a ton of political capital, as well as created a PR nightmare for them. [/quote] It's too bad so many feel this way because in fairness, every single one of our treaty partners were fully aware of our relationship with GOD when they signed a treaty with us and I find it surprising that people are shocked that we didn't step aside to allow a historical and in many ways a culturally similar ally to be ripped apart. Anyways, I imagine 2012 will be an interesting one for VE.

[quote name='Regent of Omerta' timestamp='1324433962' post='2882959'] Can you say that five times...really, really, really fast? [/quote] No, in fact I had to reread it fifteen times to make sure it made sense. I'm still not sure it does.

[quote name='Ludacrism2' timestamp='1324086353' post='2880220'] And you exist solely because there needs to be an equal balance of people considered trash and people considered great. You, you fool, are in the trash section. [/quote] I sense a lot of anger. [quote name='ControlVolume' timestamp='1324096864' post='2880293'] "Yeah, well, [i]you suck!![/i]" I hope for your sake that your warring ability is better than your comebacks. [/quote] He was overwhelmed and fate (see random number generator) wasn't kind. Not really his fault as he's got it coming from all sides. At least he continues to be one of the few who are still trying. [quote name='Regent of Omerta' timestamp='1324424074' post='2882851'] The bigger question is does anybody care what VE thinks... [/quote] Probably not. Also a pretty good assumption that VE doesn't care that some wonder if anyone cares what VE thinks. Know what I mean...

[quote name='Centurius' timestamp='1324177025' post='2880857'] 12/21/2012 [/quote] Haha, I like this prediction.

[quote name='Cardsrock32' timestamp='1324066821' post='2880058'] It happens, I blame GopDrager for this mistake of course. [OOC] Grad school + Finals week + Getting research done = 2 hours of sleep in two days and not paying attention to what I was doing [/OOC] [/quote] I thought you were drunk? Just caught VE in another lie. I just hate them so much.

[quote name='dewe48' timestamp='1324050607' post='2879919'] VE are some great warriors. Very smart. Message: A spy operation has been launched against your nation. In the attack the enemy spies targeted your nuclear missiles but were unable to locate any due to your hidden nuclear missile silos. In the attack your counter spies managed to kill 20 enemy spies and your attackers identity has been publicly revealed. And that was the second time [/quote] Haha, yeah like a lot of alliances, we have some people who don't pay enough attention. Thank you for the heads up and we'll see if we can target something else.

haha what the heck. Can we just call this the "we've all gone nuts war"?

[quote name='SoADarthCyfe6' timestamp='1323983827' post='2879084'] No, you're not getting it straight, in fact, you're speaking from out of your ass. I liked them because they attacked someone we were at war with? Well no !@#$ I approved of what they did, it was helping us out and I should be thankful for that (to which I expressed in the other thread.) Their FA alignment is only just one of many their many terrible qualities. The fact that they don't have any respect for the well being of any alliance, the fact that they use political capital to their advantage (much like GOD), the fact that they treat people like garbage is what makes me detest the alliance of which that is VE. Keep tryin' NPL. [/quote] Somehow we've hurt you. What can I do? Flowers, candy, a card? Maybe a hug?

[quote name='Omniscient1' timestamp='1323930290' post='2878595'] VE DID NOT DIE! VE has never disbanded and never will, end of story. (Am I doing this right? Or do I need more emotion?)[/quote] Smooth would be proud.
