Congratulations to our friends in GLOF! You guys are the greatest!

[quote name='Tallon' timestamp='1323237190' post='2866984'] 6 minutes from GDA declaration to counter. That is impressive [/quote] One gets the impression that NEW doesn't mess around. o/

[quote name='Earl Dumarest' timestamp='1323236790' post='2866948'] I heart Colossus. Thanks guys![/quote] We you too. Any time, man, any time.

[quote name='Merk' timestamp='1323236127' post='2866918'] It would be a cool war flag if they made it hold an AK-47 or something. At any rate here's to a good fight o/ [/quote] It's a bow, as in bow 'n' arrow.

Very good work. Thank you for this enlightening chart.

Clever DoW!

Oops. Double post was double posted.

[quote name='Auctor' timestamp='1322809786' post='2859165'] Hold up hold up hold up, how was I not on this list? [/quote] Indeed, 'tis a travesty that such a fine man was not included. Surely this is an omission due to pure oversight or Xiph's desire to avoid the appearance of favoritism.

[quote name='pezstar' timestamp='1322799042' post='2858919'] I agree with you. We had had previous conversations of that very nature with NV, and they knew that. I suspect that NV knew it was a safe question to ask. [/quote] Ah, now I understand. Thank you, dear lady, for the clarification.

[quote name='pezstar' timestamp='1322798097' post='2858894'] Not really. They knew we had a history with WAPA and didn't want to sign with them if it was going to hurt our friendship. It's not messed up... it's what allies do. Given that WAPA was kicked out of AZTEC in large part because they signed a treaty without clearing it with you guys first, you understand the concept. We were ok with it, so it was never an issue for anyone.[/quote] Plainly allies have a voice. They should not, however, have a veto.

[quote name='pezstar' timestamp='1322789317' post='2858717'] Actually, we did. NV made it clear to us when they came to ask if we were ok with it that if we said no, they would vote no on WAPA's admission. Because AZTEC requires a unanimous vote for admission, we actually did have a say. [/quote] That's messed up.

It astounds me that people fail to see how funny our friends in WAPA are. Now, Prince Buster, how's about shifting some of those sandwiches this way?

The facts of the matter, however are as follows: NV no longer exists. This is unfortunate, and perhaps if NV did still exist, things would have played out differently. Pointless speculation, though. Whatever anyone thinks of WAPA, AZTEC's declaration has nothing to do with WAPA's feelings towards STA or vice-versa. And, whatever anyone thinks of STA, personally speaking, there is no enmity as such against STA. As far as I know, despite certain highly-charged personal comments made by one individual Tiger here, we have the highest regard for STA as a group. So what's the problem? I don't see one. Sorry this upsets you Hizzy.

[quote name='Buzz Lightyear' timestamp='1322629909' post='2856459'] i didnt realize aztec was still around. maybe this will make things interesting [/quote] We didn't realize you were still around either. Who knew?

I am most certain STA will prove to be a worthy adversary. o/ AZTEC.

Right on. Congrats to both sides.

This makes me sad. You were always a good friend and class act. I will miss you.

Too bad, but good luck with everything! PS. He'll be back, don't worry.

Congratulations, guys! Nice to see this.

Congratulations, guys!

Buns! Nooooooooooo!

For a quite some time, this day has seemed inevitable to many people on Bob. Expected or not, however, I cannot by any means say that I'm happy about this. As is the case with many in this thread, TGE will always have a place in my heart. Some of the finest people around have made TGE their home, and I am proud to have been associated with such a grand alliance. I wish everyone the best of success in finding new homes. With memories of happier days, I give you [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4pyqOTGQpVY&feature=related"]Preussens Gloria,[/url] an eternal favorite of the founder of The German Empire, Kaiser Frederick II. o/ TGE!

[quote name='Lord Cyvole' timestamp='1290916522' post='2525098'] People have been posting treaty cancellations and not stating the reasons for them since I started reading the forums, greenacres. I don't really think !@#$%*ing out Valdemar regarding the issue is really going to change the status quo. [/quote] I adore you, my little cabbage. Ever since the day I met you, you have always been and you continue to be an little cabbage. Je t'adore toujours.

[quote name='greenacres' timestamp='1290911584' post='2525026'] The point is don't make announcement of no substance, when no one else needs to know. You cancelled a treaty, good for you, keep it between yourself and the other party unless you're willing to say anything beyond "we cancelled a treaty." I'm going to find that child for you now. [/quote] Here's the thing. The OWF is where alliances make announcements. Although ours is no doubt far too minor for a personage of your stature to notice, we do thank you for condescending to grace our humble thread. That being said, there are people out there who keep track of these things and who are interested in them. It's like the [ooc] newspaper [ooc]. (They're kind of like the Weekly World News but with not as many articles about space aliens.) Some articles might be of interest to a given person, others, not. So most people tend to skip the ones that aren't of interest to them, and read those that are. I suggest you do the same.

[quote name='greenacres' timestamp='1290909912' post='2525008'] Your education and comprehension abilities are none of my concern. If your announcement is nothing more than "we've got an announcement, but we're not going to tell you why" then just keep it private next time, that's all. If you're not willing to tell people why you're doing something, then either they're not important enough to know, or your announcement isn't worth a damn, so either way it should be kept private. If you need that spelled out any simpler, I can try to find a small child somewhere around my nation's capital that could help you understand. [/quote] So the point is you want us all to know how smart you are. I think you've made it.
