Heck, they could also take the peace negotiations seriously and counter with something reasonable, if they really want peace for their allies.

I don't really have to justify stuff done by alliances I'm not in but, for the fun of it, here's my take on it: I'm not privy to discussion that goes on in the higher channels of our coalition. I suppose it refers to some debate going on OR to some previous war shenanigans. Are you implying a taunt is the same thing as switching sides mid-war? If you were some kind of military powerhouse, that might be true. As it is, this feels more like Sardonic calling you out and you guys confirming you have a pair of 2s.

Which is idiotic but, then again, you can only help some people so much. * *:Ever since viceroys fell out of favor, that is.

They just have terrible allies, then. Oh well. Unleash the Vlad.

I'll save you the PM: Routine and apathy.

Like the growth, like the alliance, like the pip. Congrats.

Saying someone is competent is one of the highest compliment you can receive from a Paradoxian.

Incredible what you can accomplish when you never wage war. o/ Pax.

Please apply to TOP.

Talks of "indefinite" and "eternal" war have started early this time. Barely a month in.

As Bcortell has aptly pointed out; No. The fact that you have a mandatory defense clause does not mean we declared war on you. It means *you* are declaring war on us, albeit automatically. This "an attack on one is an attack on all" idiocy needs to cease.

It's not everyday that we get to fight an alliance we've never fought before. Much appreciated, R&R.

Post-modern CN: nothing is taboo anymore.

To be honest, most of us are already in other wars / wouldn't care too much about DBDC's raids. OOC: Even if people fought back, for the very large nations, it'd be a pointless endeavour. They are too big to fall. The game was never designed for such massive nations. It'd take years to take down a nation with over 30k tech. Also, the only other alliance with that concentration of very large nations is OBR. And I doubt they'll move.

Or it won't and we will stomp the same people for years. Who knows. I find it absolutely delicious that we have a thread about us keeping tech farms in peace mode. Heck, even a few of us tech farms decided to fight.

Not really. I haven't seen the NS stats from before the war but it's normal for an outnumbered enemy (up to an extent) to do more damage, now that everybody is pretty much nuclear. If I'm facing two opponents and I'm their only target, odds are I will do more damage to the two of them than they will do to me. Just because nukes can only be deployed once per day on a target and it does the largest ammount of damage. I didn't intend to turn this into a debate. I merely commented on the numbers provided. In terms of NS damage, this is the closest global war we've seen.

Pretty much the most even global war in history.

We cancelled our treaty with OG during the eQ war (or at its end? not sure anymore), for various reasons, mostly linked to their inactivity. We offered our protection for an extra sixty days, given that we were their last treaty partner. However, since then, they have been more active and have signed a few treaties. Nice for them and nice to see they still have friends out there.

Between Tywin and him, House Baratheon's IRC private channel must have been renamed #asylum.

LordSlop, please consider not posting anymore.

I agree with jerdge. One paragraph, maybe two, would have been better. Still, it hit close to the mark.

Just have to be in any war where you're unable to cycle in and out of peace mode. Unless you rebuy infrastructure, you will most definitely hit ZI. I guess GATO has not faced such odds since 2007.

Aside from STA (can't be bothered to check the entire history, though), all of the alliances commenting in this thread have entered wars on oAs in the past. I mean, TPF, are you really going to complain that someone is entering on an oA? What did you do during the eQ war? AI, NPO, IRON, TIO, NATO declared war on Umbrella. TOP declared war on AI. You then somehow proceeded to declare war on us. How? Via your oA with NATO, who was already chaining with others? Or are you going to claim that "an attack on one is an attack on all" and try to e-lawyer it as a defense of NATO? You used a "coalition warfare" justification to get your attacks in (without actually explaining the treaty chains at any moment, tbh) during last war. Now, you're outraged that others are doing the same? Please.

That's a name I haven't seen in a long while. Hello Tela. Nice to see Echelon is still somewhat alive.
