You're aware that no one believes you, right? Like, trust me, your allies don't even believe you. They're just smiling and nodding so you still side off.

Oh. Right. My mistake.

GDA: "uh... we're canceling our treaties with NPO because of their ignoble behav--" (man enters stage left and informs GDA that Q will be entering in NPO's defense) GDA: "All treaties with NPO are still valid, and we're firing the dishonorable guy that tried to cancel them. We just had bad info."

Guilty until proven innocent. I like it.

They shouldn't have been offered terms, period, before they even got attacked. This isn't the 1940s. You don't get to attack people and have the world go "oh, well... just don't do it again". You open a war against someone, expect them and their friends to shove it down your throat. Don't like it? Stop declaring lame-$@! wars with lame-$@! reasons. You find someone that can push back and you whine that they aren't giving you enough of a chance to get away with something you started.

This was a mistake.

Well-said.

Fair point, but remember that the force that was formed for this war already expected that.

lol I'm not holding my breath. There's also Invicta and SSSW18.

A vast majority of the planet has a CB on NPO for their war. I'd tighten down that definition.

What are the criteria for bandwagoning?

You guys made it just in time to save the day!

No, actually you're wrong. SF was ready to go for this, they just didn't all have the same targets set for the same time (strategery!). Your allies simply failed to show up to the party that everyone had planned. Kinda sad, really. Everybody likes parties. What a bunch of party poopers.

So... basically... NPO had a whole bunch of protectorates. That was pretty kind of NPO. I wonder if they knew they had so many protectorates. And some of these guys look a little big to be a protectorate.

Ah yes, good point. You pussed out for OUR benefit. So we didn't have to ruin our CN careers. Glad we got that straight. You are very charitable.

This shouldn't last long.

This made NPO look unbelievably more just in the eyes of the world.

You must be #!%^ing kidding me. NPO has "unrightfully" declared war on other alliances willy-nilly for the past several years. And now that in order to "bandwagon" in beside them it will require facing down an actual coalition willing to resist... NOW you want to remove yourselves from their alliance? Oh, well that's not convenient. You must have just not NOTICED those past few "unrightful" wars.

ah. Welp... too bad you didn't do it in time. 48 hours from the public announcement... gives you... negative one hour to honor your treaty.

Ok this one was predictable, after they bailed on NpO... It was just a matter of time.

This man speaks what I was thinking.

Alright, anytime someone would like to explain, that'd be great. I don't feel like dancing around IRC.

Do you have any idea how many people are sitting behind the stage waiting for NPO's allies to come in, too? Do you really wanna see where this is in a week?
