[quote name='Schattenmann' timestamp='1303096111' post='2692278'] All of TOP's treaties seem to go two ways until things go south. [/quote] You can say that about our past if you like. We've done what we can to try and rebuild our reputation for the future, but only time can show the alliance we aim to be. Right now, it's quite obvious you aim to paint us as idiots/lapdogs/cowards regardless of what we do. In the simplest terms, we were asked by a treaty partner to hit someone, we hit them.

[quote name='Schattenmann' timestamp='1303095594' post='2692261'] TOP always was great at soaking up damage for whoever's in charge, you're right about that. [/quote] Tomato, Tomato. You see this is us being lapdogs, we see this as honoring a treaty we signed that happens to go both ways. When we decide we want put someone over a barrel, MK will be happy to provide the barrel.

We were asked to come in. We'll hit what we can, honor our treaty and then leave, like we have everywhere else.

I'm glad this has come to a close and good luck to TOOL, whichever option you choose.

[quote name='TheNeverender' timestamp='1302479509' post='2688097'] Good stuff. I need to drop you a line at some point and catch up, Jenko. [/quote] So you are alive?

[center][size="5"]Official Announcement from The Order of the Paradox[/size] [img]http://img106.imageshack.us/img106/1841/topflagnt2.png[/img][/center] Our elections have concluded and our latest government is as follows; Grand Master: Jenko Grand Chancellor: Timberland Grand Hospitaller: SkyGreenChick Heptagon: Seasons of Love, HellAngel, Crazy Canuck, Richard Rahl, Emperor Brutus, Zac the Sage and Ojiras Ajeridas. No changes anywhere this time. I'm taking my 3rd consecutive term, Timberland his 2nd and Sky her 5th. o/ Continuity! [img]http://ordoparadox.com/top/public/style_emoticons/default/TOP.gif[/img]

[quote name='neneko' timestamp='1299866801' post='2660049'] this proves that top is just a mk puppet now [/quote] As if you needed any.

Spring cleaning will be happening. We've never cleared embassies before, but if you don't have a post from 2011 in your embassy, it'll be deleted - along with the mask for those that wear it. Grats to our allies though, they all have posts. Even Old Guard.

what happened to SomeGuy?

MK asked for our assistance destroying someone they're at war with. We oblige. Pretty simple if you ask me. Regardless of whether we enter on oA or MD, we're willing to accept any counter declarations from alliances who think what we're doing is morally wrong, or who just want to help keep their friends in the war.

[quote name='cookavich' timestamp='1299641209' post='2657409'] Not pompous enough, Jenko. Please go back to the drawing board, and come back to me when you've got some better material. Thanks in advance. [/quote] I've made it my style to keep my mouth shut and do what i must though. Pre-emptive on trolls - don't expect much of a blitz, we have very little to hit.

[quote name='Shardoon' timestamp='1297377882' post='2628386'] Congrats to all those who didn't run and therefore didn't have to lose to Jenko in the GM race. [/quote] Elitists believe that if there must be democracy, it should only serve to validate the dictator.

There's clearly no mistaking TOP has mismanaged its commitment to allies in previous wars. As the latest GM, that has been something i've worked on this war to make sure cannot be said about us. You can ask IRON, Argent, OMFG, MK, VOC and even our coalition war partners; everyone has been given our full military support and no one is going to be dragged into something unwillingly. We attacked these alliances because it's where it was felt best for us to operate. For those saying "Way to pick on small alliances TOP, infra huggers lolzorz" - This war isn't over. We've attacked alliances available for us to hit and should the correct circumstances arise (read: should people stop hiding in peace mode), more nations will be brought down in the defense of our allies. Alternatively there's that age old saying... "Bring it". It's a shame the alliances we're fighting were our allies in Bipolar and i certainly have not forgotten their contribution to us when we were hit hardest. Unfortunately they remained close to the Orders and we decided to move away. I look forward to a reasonably friendly war and have already set about making sure our opponents understand why we've done this and that we do it only out of our obligations to a treaty partner.

I find it hilarious that we're now seen as MK lapdogs. It's much more of a 'You scratch my back, i'll scratch yours' situation. They want our help beating someone they hate, i'm sure they'll be glad to return the favor down the line... Also, i'm infatuated with Archon's shiny behind.

[quote name='conistonslim' timestamp='1297059502' post='2623620'] I'll take your word on it. Still, if someone beat me within an inch of my life and stole everything I owned I would have a tough time sharing an apartment with that person. I suppose you guys had to pick sides and the neighbours grass was definitely greener. It's too bad, the world would be a lot more fun if you guys were plotting revenge against both Polar and MK though. [/quote] Who says we aren't?

[quote name='Duncan King' timestamp='1297054350' post='2623295'] Backing people who attacked someone for no apparent reason is, especially when the alliance that's doing it is TOP who abjectly refused to back NPO when they did a similar thing in Karma. This is of course the same TOP that did the same thing in TOP/CNG and started that little excursion. [/quote] We refused to back NPO because they spat in our face as we tried to mediate a peace for them. Our ally needs help, we'll provide it.

[quote name='mhawk' timestamp='1297052903' post='2623224'] It's nice to see you guys finally backing MK's recklessly aggressive war. [/quote] We'd have come sooner, but SOMEONE wouldn't leave peace mode.

[quote name='rodrod' timestamp='1297051618' post='2623165'] Jenko, I expected more from you. I'm disapointed. Oh wait, no I didn't, and no I'm not. Oops, sorry. [/quote] I have no idea what this means.

[quote name='AlmightyGrub' timestamp='1296108854' post='2604920'] It assumes that we ever end the current conflict. I think you will be waiting for something closer to hell freezing over than us being in your range. [/quote] Where there's a will there's a way. We could re-roll our alliance and meet you as you fall down. That seems a little excessive however, i don't think we care quite that much - being infra huggers and all.

[quote name='AlmightyGrub' timestamp='1296108477' post='2604889'] If you can be in range of a single one of our nations when this ends, your allies suck. [/quote] Our allies aren't at war with you. Allies of our allies are however - but we can't pick our friends' friends. I'd imagine we'd be happy to wait for Polar to regain some strength, you do historically have a great rebuilding pedigree.
