Glad to see this :) o/

Well, not to take away from the Schatt/Rush convo happening there but: Nah IAT, just an old ODP that never really went anywhere and stuck around collecting dust. Why people always hate on CCC? :psyduck:

Woot! Congrats DT and good luck to AZTEC o/

Haven't you figured out that nobody cares what you say anymore? Go retire or something... And why does it always have to be "Follow NPO" with you whether it be ODN, IRON, etc.

Congratulations to our allies in NPO and my friends in ODN o/

o/ Valhalla And I better be invited to the DoE party :smug:

It's been a fun road Crabs, take care in retirement. Good luck Mia, you'll be a great President. o/ MCRABT o/ Mia o/ IRON Ferro Credimus :laugh:

Congrats on the treaty to both parties :wub: TORN o/ TORN o/ Wolfpacks

Sad to see, but GL to both of you o/

lmao awesome

Sorry to see this, good luck to both of you in the future o/

Once again grats on fighting hard, though at one point it was like almost 50% of your alliance was in Peace Mode including almost every nation about 40k NS. It was hard for me to find a target, so next time Just pull a VE or at least have your reserves to 20%. Other than that, fun times. I love getting nuked

Good luck TIO

Congratulations on peace o/ MK o/ NATO

[quote name='Jonathan Brookbank' timestamp='1342099111' post='3009109'] Honestly, the headlong rush at the enemy only to peace out nearly immediately reminds me a lot of the actions of TPF during the Unjust War, where they came to the [b]~[/b] coalition the very first day and negotiated a way out of the war, which was something to the tune of lose X amount of NS and we will give you peace. It seems likely ZombVE had a similar deal, or else they would have used some strategy in their defense of GOD. Perhaps that is the entire reason they did not use the commonly accepted and currently being used by both sides strategy of placing nations in peace mode... [/quote] Or they could have used the strategy that they have been saying which was to alleviate as much pressure from GOD as possible. The easiest way to do that was to have the most amount of targets for NPO to engage, and vice versa. Of course, I'm just speculating from an outsider's viewpoint.

[quote name='Jonathan Brookbank' timestamp='1342096475' post='3009072'] Yes, but extensive rebuilding is often the case after a war. One does not sign a treaty that involves mutual defense, especially with an alliance as controversial as GOD has been for much of its existence, without the knowledge that it would likely put one in a bad position in a war. You don't get to simply stop honoring your treaty because of the damage you have taken. [/quote] That is true, IRON has taken significant damge in wars past (just look at Bipolar) however in my statement you quoted I was more or less talking about GODs reaction to their surrender in this threads by saying that VE has become less of an asset to them and betrayed them in some way. Yes, i understand that they could have lasted more rounds but like VE said, it took some pressure off of GOD and GOD is going to need one of their allies to pump them aid after this probably, and by the look of VE's top tier warchests, it looks like it could be them. That's another good thing I can say about VE, nice warchest

[quote name='Jonathan Brookbank' timestamp='1342096039' post='3009069'] One does not honor a treaty by leaving the battlefield without your ally. Planet Bob has long regarded this as a dishonorable tactic. The honorable thing to do would be to remain at war until you can leave alongside your ally. ZombVE clearly had no intention of actually doing this, or else they would still be at war. [/quote] Well at the rate that VE was going, I wouldn't be surprised if a couple more rounds damaged them to a point where they would need extensive rebuilding and therefore would be less of an asset to GOD. If my ally gave 50% of their strength for me but got hit pretty hard, I would still thank them for taking the pressure off of me and say GL with rebuilding however I wouldn't pull what GOD is pulling here. From what I am reading, it looks like GOD is sad it lost a meatshield in this war... I guess not everyone is willing to throw themselves to the dogs for Xiphosis, looks like VE is starting to come around... and good for them.

[quote name='Gen Lee' timestamp='1342064718' post='3008737'] Must say I'm very disappointed in the resolve of an alliance we have considered friends for a long time. Alas, "Friendship isn't about whom you have known the longest... It's about who came, and never left your side." ~ Anonymous. [/quote] VE went in to defend your alliance and lost ~49% of their overall NS. They fought bravely and hard for you and you have the gall to say that you are "disappointed"... Wow.

[quote name='Sweeeeet Ronny D' timestamp='1342064233' post='3008723'] Nice i am one of the 8! looks like you Iron guys were slacking a bit eh? [/quote] Maybe, we should have had more time [quote name='Gopherbashi' timestamp='1342064359' post='3008726'] So are all wars ending, or just those on the NPO/VE front? I'm under the impression that NPO is also at war with GOD. [/quote] Just the VE front is closed, NPO is still at war with GOD.

[quote name='Gopherbashi' timestamp='1342064060' post='3008713'] This leaves NPO still involved in the war, but all others are now out, correct? [/quote] Nah Gopher, all parties peaced: The [color="#FF0000"][b]New Pacific Order[/b][/color] and her allies [b][color="#FFA500"]Independent Republic of Orange Nations[/color][/b], [color="#FF0000"][b]Oceania[/b][/color], [color="#0000FF"][b]The Imperial Order[/b][/color], and [b]The Phoenix Federation[/b] (together known as the "Lightbringers Coalition") set the following terms to end the NPO/VE front of the war. [list=1] [*] Peace out all wars and/or accept peace offered by all combatants. [*] Agree to not re-enter the conflict which is collectively the DH Coalition vs SF/XX Coalition, regardless of the various fronts of the overall war for the remaining duration of the conflict. [*] Agree to not send money, technology, or soldiers to any combatants in the SF/XX Coalition regardless of the various fronts of the overall war in which they are engaged for the remaining duration of the conflict. [/list]

From ~37 nations above 70k NS to just 8 VE, I mean I hope your top tier gained some decent casualties. I know ours did and enjoyed their wars thoroughly

[quote name='President Kuse' timestamp='1342062395' post='3008645'] Peace in our time! Good fight NPO, Much respect from a KARMA War Battalion Commander. [/quote] Well, was a good quick war. Least I can say is you're better fighters than Sparta Cheers and GL VE in your future endeavors

The song just made my day

[quote name='Artigo' timestamp='1341857776' post='3007399'] Duckrollians are my kind of people Special wub for IRON [/quote] Duckrollians are the best of people o/ Duckroll

Good Luck fine gentlement
