Happy 4th birthday, IRON. Here's to many more! Please continue being an awesome alliance. o/

Congratulations! Very good group of people. o/

I'm very pleased to see peace is finally achieved. o/ to all involved

I've been new enough on the scene that I can just blame Gopher and Fresh [/quote] We'll see how long that nonsense continues. Also, another nice MC-XAminer. This banana beer interests me.

ALMONDS?

I vividly remember signing the Blue Steel Accords way back in the day. Furytear was awesome. It was something that was a fairly big deal in those days, especially since it was with IRON. It's still hard to believe that is the oldest continuously active defense treaty in BOB today. However odd it may seem to me, it is definitely something I'm proud of and is real interesting to look back on things.

It's been a year already? Man time sure does fly these days. First of all, congratulations on your 1 year anniversary of existence. It is an accomplishment and something you should be proud of, regardless of how it came about and what happened in the past. Secondly, seeing as it's been a year since TSO's survival, err birthday (), it also means that it has been a year since MCXA had survived from its darkest and greatest period of uncertainty.

This complicates things, I'm sure. I wonder why GOD was the only alliance to not defer reparations until a later date.

Glad to see an end to hostilities here.

Figured this would be the case sooner or later. Hail Polaris o/

o/ This war has even brought me back. I look forward to having an honorable fight against MHA. Good luck to you all.

Being here for over 3 years, I'd have to say the greatest would have to be NAAC vs. NPpO and then LUE vs. NPO

This is in fact, true. ^

Don't worry, we won't fade away and die.

Well this is an interesting development.

Onwards to moving forward. o/

Sheesh, stay on topic, folks. There's really no reason to troll on both sides. Move along, now.

I didn't know this was about BLEU or redemption. Also, betrayal? Not even close.

Glad an agreement could be reached. Thanks, Carter.

Glad an agreement could be reached.

Better late than never, I suppose? Regardless on the circumstance, good job honoring your treaty, that is commendable. However, it's a shame you decided to join the fray this late. Either way, good luck. o/ Also, Fran, you should really stop trolling, you're really not doing a good job at it.

If you cared about all the treaties you made, then you'd be neutral right now, not picking a side. Instead you decided to choose one side over the other. Well, at least you admitted it. In IRC, I was told that TOP wouldn't come to the defense of MCXA due to the chaining and you were very opposed to that. I guess you weren't very opposed when your true or closest allies get attacked though. I just don't like the whole situation. When you sign treaties, you either honor all of them or you become neutral, you shouldn't choose sides. I honestly expected better from TOP. Also, I know that TOP was participating in mediating pre-war and I applaud them for that. However, this war was declared (just or not) and it escalated very quickly. A lot of strange things happened. Regardless, I'm making the claim that this war could still be potentially stopped. TOP did not absolutely need to enter this war. You chose to enter it, for whatever reasons, and are now not a neutral, objective alliance in the mediating process. You want to talk about ending the war, you have to look at all these alliances who are chaining and taking advantage of such lopsidedness and coming in, attacking NPO, attacking GGA, attacking IRON, attacking MCXA, attacking with multiple alliances. It's becoming quite ridiculous. Hey Sam, it wasn't an offensive war, our ally(ies) got attacked, we defended, we requested for TOP's assistance, they said "no, we're going to stay out of it and we won't come in because we don't believe in chaining MDP's, etc., then they give us notification to cancel our treaty, and now they're in this war activating ODPs and whatnot via chaining. See where this becomes subjective? If there are conflicting treaties, the obvious choice would be to stay out of the war altogether and focus on bringing the war to an end. However, they chose to pick a side, which I guess is honorable, depending on who you ask.

So, I have a question, since you didn't decide to help MCXA or IRON or any of the other alliances here on Hegemony's side (due to your "no chaining policy" or what have you), does that mean that you just felt the need to attack these alliances you declared war on tonight or did you forget about your 'no chaining policy" that you based your decision on. I really don't understand the difference between defending those in OUT with an ODP and defending those who are not in OUT but have an MDoAP. Either way, it's quite apparent TOP chose a side and will come out as winners at the end of this war. Treaties were dishonored, people were hurt, and I'm sure if you really wanted to prevent this war, you'd be in a mediating position right now and not in an aggressive (or defensive) position, attacking other alliances who are already getting gang-banged. *shrug* Regardless, good luck TOP and have fun with these wars.

It's not really a "war" unless CN goes down. That's the way I feel about things anyway.
