It’s nice to make it public. Go black team!

Very happy to see this! DT is fantastic! Hail CLAWS! Hail DT!

Perfect choice for an April 1st election!

Argent shall always be relevant. Congratulations PGS! Now can you get a good swear a second time? That’s the real test.

Indeed.

“Too many treaties PGS” in 3..2…1… Congrats on growing up MU! Hail MadLads Union! Hail PGS! Hail PG Sphere!

If anything is missing, let Jazzy know.

It’s always entertaining dealing with those who are bored.

I’m simply agreeing with this person named Firingline when he listed GATO as one of the “Winners” in this other thread. It was a good point about GATO. Maybe you’ve heard of him. I normally think he’s full of crap but there are exceptions.

There it is. You finally made it clear how you define “making a move” - aggression. So your big complaint is that RFI is not aggressive enough. Noted.

1. CLAWS did not break any treaties with any ally. We did not plot against an ally either. This includes TW. CLAWS made it very clear that we would not agree to any attacks on TW. I’m not surprised though, that you brought that up. It’s something you will harp on anytime you can fit it into a response to me for a long time. 2. I disagree. GATO wanted something and made it clear that they were willing to go war to get it. Instead they ended up getting what they wanted. Not only did they make a move, they got what they wanted as a result. Not only is that a “move” - that’s a win. Unless by “move” you mean start a war just to start a war. If that’s the case, lmao!

RFI, and GATO in particular, made the most recent “move.” We came very, very close to war over it. GATO got what they wanted and so the war did not happen. Not every “move” results in war. Of course, not being in government you would not know. I’m not being critical of your point. However, now that you do know I’m sure you’ll move on and find some other reason to !@#$%* and moan. Enjoy.

What a relief! Otherwise I might need to reconsider. #nuke firingline. __________ Hail PGS! Hail CLAWS!

Hail peace!

Well now, I guess the Union of Communists Republics are actually winning their war. After all, why would the mighty Non Grata need to bother rescuing their ally from UCR? Who knew?!

Looks like you’ll fit in well with the usual OWF clique.

This is not a surrender. Do it right, please… I hate being put in the position where I end up having to agree in public with firingline.

This is the most intelligent comment I’ve heard regarding our relationship in a very long time.

We have an optional defense/optional aggression treaty with The Wolves. They decide to raid another alliance, which is their right and I can respect it. However, even IF there were no other relations between CLAWS and GATO, CLAWS could say "happy hunting" and be 100% within what is required of our treaty. Tech raiding involves risk and tech raiding alliances one knows are allied with others is something that both Al and I are familiar with enough to know the risks. This is an entirely different situation from @AL Bundy raiding some random nation and discovering later that UCR secretly protects them. I've know Al from before I had any clue of your existence. We are both well aware of each others positions. Al has not expressed any concerns to me about CLAWS response. I am sure if he had an issue, he would have expressed it to me or @Tevron LONG before you decided to bandwagon in this war via asking permission from Al to join his alliance. We all get that you supposedly do not like CLAWS, but apparently you are more than happy to complain about us not coming to your rescue now that you are involved directly. I find that fact rather satisfying. I have a great deal of respect for Al and his willingness to make his own rules. You don't get the same respect, though. Where were you when this started? You were safe and sound in NATO, that is where. As far as I am concerned, you should consider yourself lucky that Al even allowed you to bandwagon into this war via joining his alliance. As much as you pretend otherwise, if you did not want to take advantage of the provisions of The Wolves - CLAWS treaty and our extended relationship beyond that, you could have just left NATO and joined the fight from your own alliance. Since you did not chose to do that, you clearly see an advantage to the allies Al has and, knowing you, I highly doubt it's the Non Grata connection that you like.

Wolves leadership (hi Al @AL Bundy) were very well aware of our ties to GATO and also GATO’s brown team treaty. Al may not like politics, but (unlike you apparently) Al understands them and understands how the decisions he makes effect them. It’s about communication. We are good allies to each other because we communicate well. CLAWS is a fine ally to Wolves and GATO and our other ally as well. Now that you are in an alliance allied again to CLAWS FL, feel free to being any further concerns to your leadership. I am sure Al will give them exactly the attention they deserve.

Congratulations

Firingline is in NATO and not Doom Squad at this point @mrmarx —————- Carry on.

Kerschbs makes an interesting point, @Sarkin We give NG too much credit simply because the majority of them like to hear themselves talk on the OWF constantly. That’s not power. That’s just egotism.

Just make sure the fire you all are using to grill your meat does not burn down any of the homes in my neighborhood. If they are not one of CLAWS neighbors, I'm really not concerned. If we chose to crash your party, we will bring our own grill and lighter. I know better than to ask that the noise be kept to reasonable hours, so I'll just invest in a good pair of earplugs.

Congratulations. This treaty makes a lot of sense based on themes. It's also nice to see GLoF active.
