  1. Congrats to the incoming government as well as thank you to the outgoing.
  2. [quote name='Heft' date='16 February 2010 - 12:56 PM' timestamp='1266346590' post='2185898'] No one declares war over just screenshots any more. It's generally frowned upon and accepted that while a screenshot may be valuable intel and might constitute evidence, it is not by itself a smoking gun, ever. There are two basic reasons for this: 1. Screenshots are exceptionally easy to fake, especially of forum posts. 2. Screenshots are exceptionally easy to [i]claim[/i] as being fake. Put those two together and you end up with screenshots being notoriously unreliable. Why anyone would ever think "Some of the pixels appear to be distorted differently" would actually fly as a CB is beyond me. [/quote] There is a large difference between "some of the pixels appear to be distorted differently" and the relevant pixels and only the relevant pixels of a larger screenshot being distorted differently. It is the difference between coincidence and evidence.
  3. [quote name='The Flying Scotsman' date='13 February 2010 - 03:07 PM' timestamp='1266095235' post='2179687'] Yet I also have a very hard time believing that GLOF would invent these screenshots to give them a reason to attack 57th. GLOF is simply too good of an alliance, and I know people in GLOF who I dont think would stick around there if GLOF began stooping to such a level. I cannot, however, bring myself to believe that GLOF WANTS to attack 57th, I cannot bring myself to believe that they invented this whole story, all these screenshots, so that they could cancel this treaty and attack 57th. Doing something like that would go against what I have learned and experienced of GLOF over my roughly two years of dealing with them and of knowing them and their members. [/quote] These statements are not even in question. Someone from within the 57th is trying to manipulate GLOF. The only debate is if it is a 57th member with an axe to grind or the 57th government. To me the conclusion GLOF reached was consistent with the known facts.

  5. [quote name='Erixxxx' date='13 February 2010 - 02:42 PM' timestamp='1266093770' post='2179651'] You have clearly never talked to Veneke in private before. [/quote] No, I haven't. I am asking you to look at his posts thus far in this thread. I see nothing to give any evidence that the person posting in this thread is any different than the one posting in the screenshot.
  6. [quote name='Heft' date='13 February 2010 - 01:51 PM' timestamp='1266090708' post='2179569'] The Veneke post screenshot doesn't really sound like him (did he use "ye" at all?), [/quote] has he used "ye" yet in this thread?
  7. We have two facts here. One is that GLOF is being played and the other is that the responsible parties are in the 57th. As all screenshots came from 57th members this is not in doubt. Now we have a screenshot sent from Veneke with an anomaly that is consistent with being photoshopped. The other screenshot shows no physical anomaly. The arguemnet against it being valid seems to be that Veneke doesn't "talk" like that post. I've read his posts in this thread and see no large differences between them. Saying that post exonerates him is the most flimsy arguement of all here. With the 57th being involved in a global war you might think that some government member might be available at some point in the day to talk to GLOF...or maybe GLOF was being avoided.
  8. Betraying any ally is detestable, but there are no finer friends around than the Masons. Give 'em hell GLOF!
  9. At the rate the GRL is killing my population you will soon be the largest alliance in the game... Good luck.

  11. Have any of the nations or alliances you have raided in the past been this whiney or !@#$%*y? You reap what you sow \m/, the very least you could do is take it like men.
