o/ OBR. Welcome to the fight. Do try to enjoy yourselves, the sun also rises u know...

Awesome DOW, guys. As an aside, Sal Paradise, although you seemingly hate the ODN, you remain one of my favorite posters of the OWFs. You gotta fight... for your right... to COOOOOCCCCKKKKK-YYY!

"Friends like these, huh Gary?" "That's right, Dude." A very fair DOW. It's nice to see that some people on the other side recognize that they're running with some pretty dispicable crowds, even if they're only doing to so defend a treaty partner. I personally hope that TMF, if no one else on your side, receive something resembling white peace when all is said and done.

IITTT'SSSS BAACCoNNN!!!! o/ BACoN! Welcome to the good fight!

Just following orders, I'll be out of peace mode and in the fight soon enough...besides, it was the other side who told us all a few weeks ago: this is strategy, not cowardice! Also, folks, don't forget about Carthage..!

We've got people DOWing us in protest of tech raids that we neither participated in nor defended. We've got people calling us evil for KARMA. And then we've got some people who just plain don't like us and make no bones about it with their bandwaggoning (in a war already notably lacking any coherent CBs from one side) and getting patted on the back from people who don't have much better reasons for wanting to war us. Yeesh. I can't wait to get into this in a big way. Furthermore, don't forget that we must destroy Carthage! There, happy?

Didn't get enough in your last defeat, huh FEAR? Hopefully your guy that I fought last time was able to pick up that SDI he was so tragically lacking in the interim. Another CBless declaration from your side, congratulations I guess.

Welcome to Orange, TUF! Special shout-out to AntonioII! Glad you got at me during the excessive drama of the "Roll-The-Hard-Six" War, as it is good to find sympathetic friends in unlikely spheres, and I'm glad that we could have that discussion that seems to have ultimately culminated in this move! I sincerely hope that our two alliances can work together even more closely in the near future! o/TUF!! o/ODN!! o/Orange!!

words can't even begin to describe...

Expected, regrettable, but...good luck, all the same, Legion!

Finally, the plot thickens. But this is already like a 4-hour long movie..

The ODN posters above were clearly misinformed. Everyone knows that the *only* official theme song of the ODN is "Soulja Boy Tell 'Em - Crank That (Superman.)"

Roflmao @ teh OP and 75% of the exchanges that followed, from one former-IRON member to another! (OOC)Just when you think the OWFs are good for little more than spontaneous CB-generating flamefests, mindless hails, and mind-numbing off-topic spam that make youtube comments look like they were penned by The Bard, himself, something like this comes along and you remember just why you still play the little browser based game that is cybernations.(/OOC) Also, all that Athens/FB stuff belongs in another thread, though; it's totally a peripheral buzzkill. :/

Did you really just call Sunstar an "uneducated freshman ODN troll?"

Good luck, CON. Many of us would like you back when you're...back.

Congratulations on peace to our enemies. I can't speak to the whole of UCN, but my opponent DarkFox was classy and professional and I had a blast conversing with him as we exchanged blows! o/ peace, although The Network (still) Hungers!

The Network Hungers--for peace. Well, a little tiny bit of it, anyways! :jihad:

DarkFox, CN won't let us send ingame PMs while the war is on or I would have said howdy before! You snuggled Venizelos too hard after update and I just snuggled you but I think I snuggled you too hard...are you going to snuggle me back nao?!?

Goodbye IRON; knock yourselves out!

The Network Hungers!

We're on opposite sides of this one, but rest assured that ODN still loves you, Legion, as we've itterated elsewhere. I hope that both sides in this battle have the most pleasant war experience possible, under the circumstances! We'll see you again on the other side!

Caesius is absolutely correct, I still remember vividly the "Closed Draft Period" of GWIII. Soccerbum also clearly still has his finger on the pulse of what's going on in the Network, although he is an ex-member. Anyone who thinks this was the "easy" choice, the "safe" choice, the "infra-preserving" choice, or that ODN have been opportunistic in coming to this decision needs to send more spies over to our boards because they obviously have no idea about the pulse of what's going on in the Network. Keep hatin', though! You can never placate the haters... Imagine, if you will, that ODN had stayed neutral due to our conflicting treaties: The haters would have trolled us for neutrality! Next, imagine that the ODN had gone to war in defense of our allies in defense of NPO's actions: The haters would have trolled us for going with the "safe" side (exactly like they are now!) Furthermore, imagine that we had tried to honor every single one of our treaties that could have been activated in this war: attacking both Hegemony and Anti-Hegemony targets in a completely insane pointless gesture of meaningless loyalty via suicide war that would have moved the situation forward on Planet Bob not one inch: The haters would have trolled us for loosing our g**damn minds after the Polaris incident! ODN has a lot of friends who aren't all safely tucked away in the exact same bloc (as if that is any real guarantee that you won't be on opposite sides these days): The haters think that's a problem! Backed into a corner, with no choices that the haters wouldn't troll mercilessly, the ODN did something drastic: We made a choice. We made the right choice this time. Our allies who are receiving our protection appreciate that. Most of our allies who found themselves on the opposite side in this instance due to a complicated treaty web grudgingly understood and respected that and seem intent on preserving relationships in spite of this isolated instance. But that wasn't good enough for the haters... Nothing ever would be for their kind. Also, THE NETWORK HUNGERS!
