Global Order of Darkness: 8 - You guys are really starting to grow on me. Public opinion be damned, you do what is best for the alliance, and that's something I can always get behind. We Are Perth Army: 6 - It just doesn't seem to matter what happens to you guys, you just spring right back up and keep on going. World Federation: 5 - I don't really know you guys, but I can always drop by your channel and be amused for hours. The Phoenix Federation: 4 - I don't know much about whatever steps you've taken lately, but being able to vent on your nations last December after all the thuggish actions you displayed towards RAD was sweetness. New Sith Order: 10 - I may not like you, hell I've hated your guts at times, but what you have accomplished is what every alliance strives to be. You do what you need to do, go to hell and back for your friends, and could care less what Bob thinks is best for you. I may not like you, but I damn well respect you. Asgaard: 8 - Our newest friends! I never expected our relations to blossom so quickly, but the fact that you're a real stand-up bunch helped a ton. Really looking forward to get to know you all even better in the future. Goon Order of Oppression, Negligence and Sadism: 7 - Probably the most amusing alliance IMO on Bob, I would have graded you even higher had you not cut and run on PC and us. You've truly mastered the most important aspect about Bob: having fun. Valhalla: 8 - A tight-knit community of Vikings that will go to hell and back for their friends. I didn't care much for you guys when we fought, but I'm very glad I decided to get to know you guys better. \m/: 9001 - Ronin: Should've stayed dead. The Corporation: 7 - The only reason I don't give you a higher mark is that I really don't know many of you too well. For a rookie alliance, you've done a fantastic job of building and centralizing. Regardless of what anyone says, you will eventually be one of Bob's shining stars at this rate. Seaworthy Liberian Cardboard Boxes: 6 - Whenever I hear from you guys, I get tons of laughs out of it. Unfortunately, it's not very often. Grand Global Alliance: 6 - Your best days are behind you, but you're still having a grand time. Dark times are ahead, but I believe you have what it takes inside of you to pull through. Obviously, I've only rated those I felt I had enough knowledge to have an opinion on.

Get some flags up there Fox! Very happy to see this announced, Asgaard is a great bunch and I'm thrilled to be able to call them our allies.

Who are you to decide what is and what is not valid?[/color] [/quote] I will be sure to aid anyone who declares war on you in the future since you're cool with it.

[quote name='Methrage' date='24 April 2010 - 06:06 PM' timestamp='1272146754' post='2273410'] I'm doing better now than I was at ZI and bill lock, so I would hardly call this rock bottom. I'm doing better now than I was earlier in this war. [/quote] That might not have anything to do with the fact that you're a nation loaded with wonders taking on a bunch of lower, smaller nations, would it?

[quote name='Methrage' date='24 April 2010 - 05:55 PM' timestamp='1272146131' post='2273401'] I've already been ZIed and sanctioned, yet still sent more nukes since then. I doubt they'll be able to wipe me off the map. [/quote] If you think you've already hit rock bottom, I'm afraid they're only getting started.

[quote name='Methrage' date='24 April 2010 - 03:36 PM' timestamp='1272137787' post='2273251'] Reading the whole topic only shows that I'm right and GOONS are abusing the senate. [/quote] Reading the topic only shows that you are an egotistical tool who is rightfully being wiped off of the map thanks to your crimes committed against GOONS.

[quote name='Nintenderek' date='24 April 2010 - 02:48 PM' timestamp='1272134863' post='2273214'] Because I very well am interested in what your talking about. I'm interested in Planet Bob politics and what can help make Planet Bob better. I don't care what your excuse for why these were used is, the facts I know are as follows. 1. GOONS was at war with Methrage, and/or his alliance 2. Sanctions were used during this war That's all I need to know. Typically, sanctions are saved for the worse of rouges and the worse of criminals on Planet Bob. Methrage doesn't sound like either of those, so sanctions were abused in this case. That's all I need to know to peak my interest. [/quote] Had you bothered to read the topic, you'd see Methrage's true colors. Until then, have fun continuing to make a fool out of yourself, lapdog.

[quote name='Duncan King' date='23 April 2010 - 11:36 PM' timestamp='1272080182' post='2272732'] \m/: 1 Trashtalking bullies. [/quote] You appear to be mad. I'll be doing a list eventually as well, just need to find the time to sit down and do it right.

[quote name='Methrage' date='24 April 2010 - 03:07 AM' timestamp='1272092841' post='2272865'] Flawed attempt at PR is what I think seems likely, once they lift the suspension they lose any PR they might get from it and the way they've went about it hasn't really gained them much if any. [/quote] Really? Tell us more, Mr. Science!

[quote name='Rebel Virginia' date='22 April 2010 - 08:20 PM' timestamp='1271981995' post='2271330'] [color="#0000FF"]Also, I should not be surprised to see Bob siding with GOONS in their attempt to smear my name. I am a made of vigor, of fortitude. Bob likes to dance around and pretend to be "logical" and "reasonable." It sickens me. Everyone tries that these days. I do not, however. I am a man of passion. Of energy and strength. I could care less for logic or reason. I fight for what I feel is right and just. I have no intent to back down anytime soon. I have spent years fighting against tyrants, all who have met their ends. GOONS shall be no different.[/color] [/quote] Quite frankly, you do a good enough job smearing your name on your own. Bob and GOONS doing it further is just gravy.

I was serving as one of the two regent in RAD, but I had recently lost my internet source a week earlier. I sat in peace mode for the first wave of attacks, but I was able to serve in combat against Avalon.

[quote name='Rebel Virginia' date='22 April 2010 - 03:04 PM' timestamp='1271963068' post='2270917'] [color="#0000FF"]I demand satisfaction.[/color][/quote] [img]http://sites.google.com/site/quippish/GloveSlap.jpg[/img] Did you just challenge GOONS to a duel?

[quote name='Bob Janova' date='22 April 2010 - 01:53 PM' timestamp='1271958815' post='2270849'] Aiding someone doesn't immediately put you at war. That's why CSA are in a defensive war against GOONS, and why Methrage is. If you don't believe me, check out the thread about people aiding Grämlins where people are trying to bait them into an aggressive war against people aiding IRON. So yes, it does matter that you attacked first, in fact that is the absolute core of the issue (the 'wrong argument' you wanted me to address), because many people agree that you shouldn't sanction in an aggressive war. [/quote] OK. Let's say that you guys get your wish in the near-future and get into a conflict with the GGA. Let's say I think VE is being a bunch of tools over this, and I begin to send money and tech to GGA nations. According to the logic you've used in this thread, this is totally cool and in no way an act of war.

[quote name='Methrage' date='21 April 2010 - 02:44 PM' timestamp='1271875447' post='2269345'] The Citadel has 105k total NS, 21k Avg NS and 5 members currently. I consider that enough to be an alliance and would like to request the sanctions removed. We're mostly black, except me who has been banished from black. [/quote] Unfortunately, what you consider is irrelevant. You were sanctioned for your war crimes, which aren't forgiven due to you rounding up a couple miscreants.

[quote name='DarkEra97' date='20 April 2010 - 07:10 PM' timestamp='1271805013' post='2268369'] Shockingly, even \m/ is too good for M6. Either way, good luck with this change in direction. If nothing else it's interesting. [/quote] If you have a problem with M6 or \m/, you can come drop us a visit and tell us all about it. Until then, we ask you act in a more professional manner as prevent further soiling the good name of your alliance.

[quote name='Golan 1st' date='20 April 2010 - 04:12 PM' timestamp='1271794358' post='2267994'] It's not my definition. Here is the definition from a dictionary: This is quite a good description of your alliances. [/quote] Ok, so you're going to use an OOC source to describe an IC term. Next time I won't give your ignorance the benefit of the doubt.

[quote name='Golan 1st' date='20 April 2010 - 03:38 PM' timestamp='1271792297' post='2267953'] /m\ and GOONS calling anyone a rogue in the way they do this here is an abuse of the language. [/quote] I assume you have not done your research on this matter, or else you would know that \m/ no longer allows tech raiding. I would hate it if it turns out you did know that and you're just being ignorant.

You have acquired yourself some bad dudes as protectors, Skull and Bones Society Congrats!

[quote name='Methrage' date='20 April 2010 - 03:23 PM' timestamp='1271791416' post='2267927'] Did Gerald's tech raid on me that went nuclear have an effect on you guys making this decision? That raid certainly didn't turn out to be profitable, although as much as I'd like to take credit for this, I'm sure other factors were involved as well. He was \m/ triumvir as far as I know, so it might of impacted him coming to his choice on the matter. Anyways, good luck with the new policy and ignore those that give you crap over making a good move. [/quote] This has been discussed internally for some time, and regardless of the timing, was not caused by any single raid. It was a step our government felt was the best one for \m/ to take.

[quote name='Rebel Virginia' date='20 April 2010 - 01:39 PM' timestamp='1271785165' post='2267795'] [color="#0000FF"]For what it is worth, I also strongly encourage others to wish to stand against GOONS and other oppressors to join the Citadel as well.[/color] [/quote] Why should people heed your words and take action when you lack the testicular fortitude to do so yourself?

[quote name='Methrage' date='20 April 2010 - 01:33 PM' timestamp='1271784819' post='2267789'] It really says something about the rest of GOONS leadership when the only worthwhile member of gov I've talked to leaves and joins me due to hopelessness of dealing with other gov, other members of GOONS who want to follow Jamez example and stand up against your corrupt leadership can join the Citadel as well. All are welcome to join and the past is just that, the past. I won't hold grudges towards any GOONS who change their ways. [/quote] Actively recruiting from GOONS, are we? You're positive you're not a rogue?

I always found it more fun when they [i]did[/i] fight back. This one guy was so outraged he attempted to fight back, claiming he would never surrender. Of course, this was right after \m/'s involvement in the war ended, so I was 100% militarized and every attack he made was crushed. Two days and nukes later, his nation was crippled and he simply gave up. Admin also decided he was no longer suitable for Bob after being informed of some choice words the raidee had said. Sometimes it isn't the tech the raiders are after, it's experiences like this.

Happy Birthday GOONS, I for one am happy to have you esteemed gentlemen back at Bob. Don't ever change! EDIT: Post #420 on 4/20. I guess that's a suitable present.

[quote name='Buds The Man' date='19 April 2010 - 06:10 PM' timestamp='1271715009' post='2266843'] Ill talk to star fox well see what we can do [/quote] I await the exciting conclusion to this.
