It wasn't. Only reason they are apologizing is because someone called them out on it. And they said to expect more from the channel.
On the other hand, Censorship is wrong. everyone has the right to say what they want, even if it is wrong ignorant and hateful.
Banning is hardly bullying. If you don't like MHA why do you want to be on their forums and in their chan?
If you want the feud to stop, let it go. Dont worry about it, MHA will forget and move on.
I think the biggest problem is that most alliance leaders are protectionist. They fight tooth and nail to improve their alliance in the standings and that means avoiding war. I bet had that TPF conflict happened two years ago, we would all be covered in the snow from our nuclear winter.
I have talked to lots of semi-established nations and they have expressed disdain for the elitism of the leadership circles. A lot of leaders seem to think they are in higher class, and that their opinion matters more. You can see this in how smaller AA's are regarded by some of the larger ones.
Also it seems apparent in many AA's that there is a structure of cliques. With on group of players being more highly regarded than the others. Often times new members are regarded as tools to improve the standing and prestige of the alliance. This game has become a numbers game, and has deteriorated in the community aspect. Sure for us old nations the community is still there, but how many AA's have waves of new members eager to pitch in.
I think gramlins made a bold move and I can really respect that. I am sending 50 cases of gourmet Bacon to your govt offices in honor of your courage.
o/ Gramlins
Sigh, good luck I suppose.
We all know the history of these kinds of blanket threats (and that is what it is...) is that the threatening alliance always backs down when put to the test. I can only think of the moldavi doctrine as the only one being upheld.
no way it sucks, the nations make like 1.2 mil of that, and I save well over 20,000,000 dollars out of that deal. 50 tech cost me about 12,000,000
so only paying 3,000,000 for it is awesome.
OK OK OK. Yes, is it is true; Bacon may not be the most healthy of meats. But is your government so fascist that it will make dietary choices for its people!?
OOC: Heh, excellent post! im glad some people want to play along and have fun.
Do not listen to this man! He is spreading lies about bacon! My baconologist tell me most cats lack the belly fat to make bacon efficiently and you must kill 20x the amount of cats to yield the same amount of bacon as one pig.
