[quote name='Daimos' timestamp='1341585233' post='3004792'] I agree it was a no win situation. The more reason you wanted the war contained. Which alliance do you think would attack GoD that were allied to NPO? [/quote] NG or TLR could've done it. Then VE would defend, and maybe we might be better off. Or maybe they'd never attack us and we'd be waiting in line for MK's slots while NG beats the crap out of RIA. Either way, it's pretty pointless to speculate on what could've happened if we did x instead of y.

[quote name='Daimos' timestamp='1341533451' post='3004354'] So to save RIA from a fast burn vice a slow burn you add GoD and VE into the mix. Now they are all burning. How does that favor your coalition? [/quote] It was a no win situation. The alternative was leaving the biggest alliance in your coalition to fight RIA alone and pick off other alliances at their leisure. Then another NPO ally could attack us (GOD) and draw in VE on them and draw in NPO. Our coalition doesn't have the luxury of avoiding certain alliances to keep other alliances out(in this case the BFF alliances and NPO) like yours does. The BFF alliances and NPO drew the line so it was difficult to avoid their involvement. [quote name='Reyas' timestamp='1341537027' post='3004396'] You can take solace in the fact that two alliances on your side "ignored" the same treaty. [/quote] tbf I saw a lot of anti-NoR propaganda coming from International, and not much from their other allies. You can see why people might think they'd enter in for LSF.

[quote name='Daimos' timestamp='1341522753' post='3004116'] Not sure how effective GoD’s DoW on NG relieved the pressure on RIA. Maybe it did but at a cost of another ally (VE) and pulling more alliances to pound on their coalition, escalating and probably prolonging the conclusion of this war. [/quote] I'd love to take responsibility for shaving off ~2mil of NG's NS, but there were other alliances that declared too. Except, I'm sure those other alliances don't matter at all to you. You just want your shot at GOD.

[quote name='President Kuse' timestamp='1341166168' post='3001243'] What is dead may never die. [/quote] But rises again, harder and stronger. o/ VE. Kick ass.

As a Heat fan, I find this offensive. Fight well NADC.

There's a MASSIVE disadvantage 100k NS+ for our coalition. It's pretty glaring, and there's no use throwing them out there when they'll get hammered to oblivion and the damage they do will be negligible. The fight's in the 70k NS range and down. Right where we want it and where we the numbers are much closer.

This was unexpected. Not that tR is surrendering, but that they are surrendering so quickly. Congratulations NPL on getting the first surrender of the war.

[quote name='Captain Spock' timestamp='1340828429' post='2998603'] I don't get it. CSN clearly took Dave93 hostage, and now they're paying the price. [/quote] Haha, what? TIO released Dave to CSN to get ZI'd. If TIO didn't think the ZI had justification, they would have never handed Dave over.

[quote name='AlmightyHero' timestamp='1340753664' post='2997599'] snip [/quote] I noticed GOD isn't listed in the Gooby coalition. I'm not sure if anyone else is missing. Thanks for updating this though. Really appreciate it.

I understand you have your reasons for this, but it's still disappointing to see you supporting MK. [quote name='Maelstrom Vortex' timestamp='1340695022' post='2997006'] You may choose to link the wars if you wish. That is not our perspective. We are supporting NG as we have always said we would do. GOD did not have to interfere with our allies actions. They have brought this upon themselves. There were other ways GOD could have addressed their concerns that did not involve NG. They are paying for their poor choices. [/quote] You expect us to let RIA burn fighting NG alone? There was no other way.

It's good to be fighting alongside you all. Give 'em hell! o/ App

Well said Xiph. For RIA!

[quote name='Ardus' timestamp='1339644129' post='2982698'] Perhaps because it is the honest reasoning behind our actions? Dave is accused of less than even Ordo Verde, and the Kingdom rode to the distant green defense. I see no reason why we should not ride again. CSN is a terrible alliance that is, once again, in the wrong. We aim to punish them for it. For Dave93. [/quote] Dave did more than just accept spied information. He encouraged Rota to take screenshots of CSN's forums. This is more similar to what Dajobo had Lennox do.

Congratulations Deinos! o/ SF o/ Deinos

Below 60%? GOD needs to step its game up.

[quote name='Roquentin' timestamp='1335137736' post='2957406'] Like I said, nothing I have to say should make you not be intelligent FA-wise regardless. If you're too busy fuming over Xiphosis still and don't want to treaty alliances tied to his for a greater goal, that's your problem, and not mine. [/quote] Why would he be fuming over Xiph? All Xiph did to GATO was give them white peace a couple wars ago.

[quote name='Gopherbashi' timestamp='1330971049' post='2934022'] Yeah, the Horde pretty much had their way with Moscovy, Novgorod (neither of those exist), Poland, and Lithuania (the latter two were finished off by Bohemia). But if you thought Bohemia was big... [spoiler][img]http://img822.imageshack.us/img822/5086/eu33a.png[/img][/spoiler] Also, yeah, that's Iraq in southern India. No clue how that happened.[/quote] Wow, that's a pretty big Ottoman Empire. And a pretty big Yaroslavl up there. [quote name='Gopherbashi' timestamp='1330971049' post='2934022']I think I'll get CK2 eventually (I've been watching it on and off in the CNF Paradox thread, but I'd rather get one game out of my system before moving onto a new one. [/offtopic] YAY SANCTION RACE [/quote] Heh, sorry I misread that. I thought you were asking for suggestions for a new game. And so my post isn't completely off topic... good to see GOD growing so well.

That Bohemia is massive. [quote name='Gopherbashi' timestamp='1330954199' post='2933901'] Europa Universalis 3, and I'm open to suggestions as to who I should be for my next game. [/quote] You could check out Crusader Kings II. I just got it, it's pretty awesome.

And here's to many more years of GOD. o/

[quote name='Unknown Smurf' timestamp='1324314584' post='2881912'] Just because they are on the same side/coalition. [/quote] Not only are they not on our side, but they're also at war with us.

[quote name='Aeternos Astramora' timestamp='1324245047' post='2881373'] Fark has joined Umbrella in (I believe) being the only alliances with more tech than infra. [/quote] GOD joined that club five or six days ago I believe.

Good to be fighting with you guys even if only on such a small target. o/ VE

Have fun and good luck R&R. Give them hell.

Good luck NPL, give them a good fight.

Give 'em hell RIA!
