[quote name='Matthew PK' date='21 June 2010 - 10:14 AM' timestamp='1277133242' post='2345213'] Your post is correct, but misleading by omission. Ram got exactly half the popular vote minus one. In [b]any[/b] weighted voting system he would have won. The Gremlins are not a democracy and have never claimed to be. EDIT: Sorry, dbl post. [/quote] Unless the member that voted abstained then he didn't get exactly half the vote. He got 1 less vote than the half. Abstaining is that you acknowledge the vote but can't decide either way. I'm sure you'll dig into your own dictionary and use your own terms but hey; I tried.

[quote name='Geoffron X' date='21 June 2010 - 12:16 AM' timestamp='1277097367' post='2344797'] ...what. [/quote] I think their government (Conclave?) can overturn the GA vote if they want to or their votes count for 66% the weight of the vote. Something like that.

[quote name='Matthew PK' date='20 June 2010 - 11:40 PM' timestamp='1277095225' post='2344714'] The first step is surrendering, unconditionally; which is the functional equivalent of turning yourself in for your actions. This important step demonstrates that you acknowledge your culpability and wish to be accountable. [b]One being accountable does not negotiate around their actions.[/b] A surrender, without you trying to set conditions to bargain your way through it, is the best way to demonstrate [b]that you are willing to be completely accountable for your actions.[/b] [b]That doesn't mean you agree to comply with any subsequent terms.[/b] However, as I have said this entire time, the terms are fitting and compliant with our values set forth in our codex. They are not harsh, and are not intended or designed to be refused. Even if you thought they were harsh (which I honestly don't know how you could come to that conclusion) you will have, at this time, [b]made no agreement to comply with them and could return to war.[/b] Of course, since I do not think the terms are harsh, I honestly do not believe you would want to refuse them. [/quote] So you say unconditional surrender means we wish to be held accountable but doesn't negotiate our actions. You then say that we don't have to agree with any subsequent terms and can return to war cause we made no agreement to comply. This is after the unconditional surrender which you mentioned we can't negotiate our actions. Refusing terms and returning to war is an action. So no, we still won't surrender unconditionally. It's also funny to hear that Ram *NOW* wants to talk with us himself to negotiate peace terms seeing how he's next on the chopping block.

[quote name='Lord Gobb' date='19 June 2010 - 12:39 PM' timestamp='1276969150' post='2343020'] So IRON, God heard your prayers and you now got the two big nations you wanted! Let the iron fist strike down the last grämlins! [/quote] A couple of IRON nations have been in range for awhile now. Yet, Gramlins don't engage. Pardon IRON/DAWN for sticking to their plan.

[quote name='Matthew PK' date='08 June 2010 - 10:48 PM' timestamp='1276055319' post='2329650'] I told you I knew them over 100 pages ago. In fact, I think I spent scores of pages saying: Reading Comprehension. If you don't know something, ask. [/quote] Last I heard you said that you could only speculate on the terms based on your codex and that you didn't know what the terms actually included. I realize that you have had elections since I've seen that post and you may now actually know the terms. I haven't seen every single post in this mammoth of a thread so if I missed it then I apologize.

[quote name='Matthew PK' date='07 June 2010 - 11:46 PM' timestamp='1275972353' post='2328557'] I think we've been pretty clear on what we're doing, why we're doing and what we're after. The only thing we haven't told you are the exact terms. [/quote] Well actually only one of those have been answered. 1. What we're doing? A: Running your alliance into the ground. 2. Why we're doing? A: Cause you thought it would be fun to do? 3. What we're after? A: Public humiliation on a daily basis? [i]The only thing we haven't told you are the exact terms.[/i] We've been waiting for this for over 2 months and none of you still have a clue of what they are.

[quote name='Banksy' date='05 June 2010 - 05:53 PM' timestamp='1275778412' post='2325193'] Wait- Booter won an election? Things have certainly changed. [/quote] Hey now, this is my 2nd election win.

[quote name='JimKongIl' date='31 May 2010 - 01:14 PM' timestamp='1275329649' post='2317971'] White peace is a moot point while Ramirus is leading Gramlins. He initiated a pm dialogue with me the day I joined IRON and every attempt at civility was met with insults and arrogance. I even offered to leave the IRON AA if Gramlins would agree to a temporary cease fire. His response was to call me a traitor, a !@#$%, an infra-hugger, and pathetic for leaving TOP well before the war, under a banner of peace and referred to me as a kid. Not once did I insult him. His avatar tag line, "With each passing moment, you make yourself more my servant" truly embodied his attitude in our discussions. Diplomatically, he is completely unapproachable and the responsibility for the destruction of Gramlins lays squarely on his shoulders with a fanatically eager Matthew_PK and Ertyy committed to act upon his every wish. The fact that Ramirus was reelected by the Gramlins membership shows that they are willing to put their future in his hands. I know everyone is thinking "big surprise", but I just had to experience it for myself to come to this conclusion. After further consideration, I rescind my suggestion that IRON/DAWN walk away from this war. Gramlins are an unpredictable alliance while Ramirus is in power and I would not trust in the fact that they would not attack IRON after IRON ceased attacks on Gramlins. That being said I do support the premise of focusing energy on the Gramlins nations actively attacking IRON/DAWN. [b] It is clear that CnG will never receive any reps from IRON/DAWN while Ramirus is in power[/b] because with him in charge they will never escape a banner of war. I will remain under the IRON AA to help defend their top tier from Gramlins attacks as long as Gramlins keeps IRON in this war. Certainly, IRON will need more 100K+ nations willing to defend to fend off Gramlins aggression. If you are willing to stand up for what is right and have the support of 95% of CN then please pm me or IRON leadership. [/quote] That sounds like Ram to me. I have seen logs of him talking down to people and referring to them as children when the person he is talking to is +30 years old.

I thought this was semi-relevant to the situation with Gramlins. [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CWsJcg-g1pg"]Another One Bites the Dust[/url]

[quote name='Hiro Nakara' date='25 May 2010 - 11:48 AM' timestamp='1274806076' post='2311355'] What has this thread achieved so far? Has it achieved peace? Or has it achieved anything that will change the stance of the Gremlins? Because I don't think it has. So what is the objective of this thread? to make people aware of the situation? Which I agree, it has done a brilliant job of doing that. But that does not have the desired effect that you wish for, which is peace from Gremlins! yet people have managed to argue in a circular fasion for what 173 pages now, I still do not see the Gremlins buckling under the amazing power of this thread. I'm just sitting thinking, wondering the point in carrying on the same arguements, rehashed posts over and over again, it has achieved absolutley nothing, yes it may have gained you a few members, but they will scurry off when the drama has finished. I for one hope Gremlins does not crumble, just like I hope IRON/DAWN do not crumble, CN would be a duller place without either of you. You have provided the peanut gallery and awesome marathon of, he said/she said circular arguements I saulte you o/ Inb4 the rage monsters. ...I guess I will awnser this before it is used as a rebuttal.......If the thread has been so successful then why has Gremlins not surrendered? PR points mean PRIZES? [/quote] This thread is nothing more than a source of entertainment to most of us. I personally enjoy seeing people comment on the situation that has no ties to either side and try to give their input like they know what is happening.
