My tramp weighs six pounds but I really like the touch screen.

Keep up the good work! The unaligned are a plague and GOONS are the cure.

no thanks , you guys really need to stop getting more enemies
Having the right enemies is more valuable than having the right friends.

I am in the New Hegemony.
You're not a bad poster.

AUT is in TFD, not exactly a Karmish alliance.

I. On Joint Offensive Operations
The Grämlins shall only participate in joint operations if the full evidence and proof for the CB has been shared, the exact goal of the war has been defined, rough peace term demands have been discussed and the other participants have been named.
----
I wonder what the rough peace terms were the day they entered into the war.
The Grämlins' participation is not through a joint offensive operation, which is what article one is referencing. Ironically enough it was written after participating in an offensive operation alongside TOP that left them with a bad taste in their mouths after the reparation discussions.
But...they were bandwagoners...what...*headdesk*
No they aren't. Nice try.

C&G total: 1083 -> 939 (-144) ... of which
[FoB: 113 -> 55 (-58) ] ... is by far the largest contributor. Of course FoB had some significant leavers to PC when the war started, but that shouldn't still be having an effect two months later when FoB is fighting.
FWIW ~35 of those 58 left to fight and are still residing in other alliances, most notably PC. Some of the remaining 23 surrendered, one or two were expelled, leaving less then a dozen who may have deleted.

iFOK doesn't role-play space wizards, so they have that going for them.

You're all overestimating the value of your opinions.

NPO is no threat to anyone now, and won't be for quite some time. They have a horde of members and that's about it, there's no realistic scenario in which the old-hegemony/purple/NPO could overpower C&G/SF in the near future.
I'd call it a year before the sides change enough to give them a fighting chance.

I really like these kinds of blog posts, I find it very interesting to hear others opinions of alliances and see if they line up with typical party lines.
If I were to level a criticism at MK, it would be at certain higher-ranking individuals who have been nice to my current alliance in private, neutral in public (ie, IRC channels) and rather negative in places like the forum. Perhaps they thought no one would notice.
It's not just NoR, those same certain higher-ranking individuals have managed to destroy whatever goodwill there previously was with quite a few people. It's really quite a shame because were it not for the potshots and superiority there would be more people willing to fight for them instead of just being thrown on the same side by mutual friends.

There's no "higher reps" option.

It's been a pleasure fighting alongside you Tick. I couldn't be prouder about how our little crew has been able to stick together and come out on top every time, by my count we've rolled over a dozen alliances with no sign of slowing down.

Out of curiosity if you're reading this LM, how much tech do you steal in GAs?
I'm too lazy to to calculate it myself.

fwiw you spelled vane like a weather vane, the word you were looking for is vain.

Many FOK members speak English, if the particular person you want to speak to doesn't it would be easy to find a willing translator.
I don't know what kind of information you're trying to pass on, but if you're speaking directly to FOK I wouldn't worry about someone twisting your words.

Aircastle hit TOP.

I totally agree. Far too many alliances sign treaties with each other each other knowing that they conflict or they sign them then forget about them. STA is not that kind of alliance. We have been very careful with our treaties. I think our CnG allies are the same way. We all agree on political and military viewpoints 99% of the time. What's happening now is that remaining 1% that is essentially impossible to properly account for. I'm not at all suggesting that we step away from our CnG allies. I love those guys. I just think that we need to take a realistic look at how capable we are of defending each other when a large war like this one pops up again in the future.
You do realize that this "1% scenario" came about because of decisions STA made, right? C&G isn't any different now then when you signed your treaties with MK and Vanguard, in fact it was clear from the beginning that C&G wasn't on the world police bandwagon when you chose to support it (your NpO treaty is non-chaining). When you put yourself in opposition to your allies it's only natural they might not chose to defend you.
-
You declared war on two allies of Vanguard and they've been kind enough to not counter attack, now you want them to defend you? Give me a break. STA was a vocal supporter of Grub's war wagon from the beginning, full well knowing that it meant bringing war to MK and Vanguard's MADP allies.

One nice thing about the "online" setting, would be that finding trades could get much easier.

I'm looking forward to a Destro blog, should be interesting.

Do you even have a clue what a miserable failure any attack by this "coalition" would have been? Being worried is the last reaction any sane person in his position would have.
