[quote name='Duncan King' timestamp='1327986166' post='2911343'] Or maybe DK was just saying inflammatory things for fun. [/quote] [IMG]http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y289/3809940TAA/NewImage.jpg[/IMG]

[quote name='He Who Has No Name' timestamp='1327218289' post='2904612'] We were hunted mercilessly across this world and the next for [i]two years[/i] in a sadistic pogrom. We will [i]always[/i] have justification to level with NPO. [/quote]no you won't. when you give up a fight against them, you have conceded that you are the lesser alliance. it may have taken them years to drive you into the ground, but you hid in peacemode and acted like terrorists on your machinations of war. you gain no selective bargaining to declare war on NPO whenever you wish since you have fought and lost repeatedly. time and again, your membership sheds tears for times past, and many members weren't around then. they break water for a time they didn't participate in, and come here to claim grievance for something they share no token pain for. educate your members well what it means to be hunted. what it means to reside on outside forums and spread your intelligence across a swath of forums. because even consolidating it, now that you've been allowed to, it still appears that FAN is the worse off for it when such statements fall from their lips. [quote name='Roquentin' timestamp='1327222562' post='2904643'] Honestly, it's only because people aren't willing to treat NPO in the way NPO treated others(karma with a lower case) that it is possible for them to continue existing as a major alliance. I think that's a change of sorts. Also Londo, you still hate Polar for Grub's anti-raiding crap in 2009, so I really don't like this rhetoric from you. I don't know what kind of terms are being offered to Polar, an alliance that lost 3/4ths of its NS in the first 3 months of 2011 and has lost 2/3rds in this war. I'd like some consistency in the "moving on" crowd. [/quote] karma? when i was in MCXA, and the former heads of MCXA removed themselves and formed TSO, when TSO joined the opposition of the hegemony, when they extracted their pound of flesh when they were some of the biggest proponents within the conglomerate of the Orders, 1V, et al. stuff it deep inside. tuck it in and push it all the way down. karma was anything but a sour taste in my mouth for having my leadership abandon me and take part in the character assassination of my alliance when the reigns were held by another party unable to cast off the folly of an inept crowd of Order sycophants. people here yet b!tch about the Orders, whichever is the flavour of the week, yet they persist in being a thorn in the side of alliances that have neither the compunction of stamina to take them to task without a bandwagon fit to break the world. i beseech you to consider your words wisely. folly is in the mouth of those that choose to drag an alliance back into fighting on their behalf. when you utter suck grievance, you present a target of opportunity seldom taken in the current world of planet bob. the hegemony would not have been so kind to you and yours, so feel the privilege of a different time and place when perpetual war for your nation wouldn't be the flavour of the day, simply for your egregious outburst. disclaimer: i speak for myself. if you seek grievance with me, dial 1-800-3825-633 and we can seek proper recompense.

[quote name='Taliburn' timestamp='1324687862' post='2885216'] I'm not going to lie, i was watching your NS and was hoping you got beat down just a little more. But it never happened Kinda sad, but knew i would have gotten beating down so kinda GLAD We did build our nations to according to your plan. [/quote] i purchased around 1800infra just to stay ahead of the curve. it's amazing what a healthy warchest can do for you. you're actually in my range right now, but i see you're enjoying some anarchy as well. i'm glad some people over at MCXA are still building according to my plan. it is somewhat frightening that my legacy in MCXA is being used on me and my friends. also, as chax stated, anything i post here is my personal opinion and does not reflect the greater hive mind that is BFF leadership. i am not a member of government, nor do i make statements on their behalf.

[quote name='Schattenmann' timestamp='1324678765' post='2885090'] That's a lot of bravado from a guy in a coalition of 66 alliances against 34. What're you, 5'3", 5'4"? [/quote]it's me dressing someone down because they are claiming to have somehow come out of this on the positive side with the claim to define winning in a manner that is contrary to the actual definition. MCXA lost 49% of their total NS. that isn't winning. just because one guy is having an easy go of things and hasn't been anarchied doesn't mean crap. if he wants to have a friendly little war outside the realm of our alliances, i would be happy to entertain him. [quote name='Taliburn' timestamp='1324682885' post='2885128'] Parandiac .......... We were placing bets on who would face you..As you see Jrkee won Good luck and Happy holidays. 0/Para [/quote]i was actually waiting for two more of you guys to counter my attack on jrkee but it never came.

[quote name='REGHAR73' timestamp='1324632619' post='2884740'] Personally I'm not anarchied and not ZI'd? [/quote] you're in my range but i am in nucelar anarchy and unable to declare on you. if i were able, i'd set you up for a nuke at 2359 hours on christmas eve just so you understand what a real war is. you aren't in anarchy because you pick fights with people that are easy targets. i pick fights with people that are bigger than me and have nukes. i don't seek out fights with people i know i will beat handily- that was foisted on me by my alliance in it's war declarations. but you know, sometimes you just have to roll the little guy, right? i changed you to DEFCON 4 since i can't declare open war on you. i'm saddened by the fact that i won't get to attack you since your alliance has taken peace, but hopefully the people that are attacking you will enjoy your diminished state of readiness. moral of the story: don't pat yourself on the back when you really haven't accomplished anything at all. as for the peace, i welcome itfor my old alliance. i've had a wonderful time fighting my old friend jrkee and he is by far the classiest opponent i have ever faced. it hurt me a little inside to have to attack a friend and former alliance-mate, but i got over that pretty quick. out of the nine people i've fought, he and one other person have actually given me a decent fight. i guess the only way this round of wars could have been any better is if i had gotten to fight AndrewHG as well. good job, BFF and allies. not much else to add. we know what's going down. chax on my mom, probably. love you, dad.

[quote name='Dexomega' timestamp='1323031261' post='2862516'] Good first point. We want to be friends because our general FA Policies aligned in the past. Simply letting what I gathered was a long history die because someone disagreed with our past government's actions was a bit daft. Am I talking a MADP bloc with FEAR and friends? Maybe not, but I felt quite shorted when we were blindsided by FEAR back in August. Even more so now that I see my short discussion with Boris went no where. It's twisting a knife that frankly didn't need to be put there in the first place. Am I mad at FEAR for defending TORN or BFF for defending them? No. I'm disappointed that this has been done with no regard for what friendship we did at one time have. Maybe I'm running under a false assumption that we were friends at one time, but that serves to prove my point even more. You're holding a great majority of UPN accountable for something that a few government members did. As I said to Boris in August, if you have a problem with UPN's government, there are those of us here willing to listen, we just need to know there's a problem before someone goes out on a limb and asks us to declare war on them(which was clear bait for a BFF gang up by the way). I'm not continuing this discussion any further, as it is a flame war and totally irrelevant to the topic at hand. Good day to you BFF, sorry it had to end this way, even if you aren't. [/quote] aligned in the past but no longer. alliances change. people that were in power aren't in power any longer. it sounds like you're butthurt because you talked to a guy and presumed that it would smooth things over between two alliances. haha not bros. and i don't even understand why you are in this thread dropping the drama bomb about something completely unrelated to the OP unless you simply can't read. BFF is not at war with your alliance. all you're doing here is crying about the past, and it's pretty sad. enjoy your war with IRON. keep the pity party on your alliance's forums.

[quote name='Dexomega' timestamp='1323019223' post='2862340'] BFF, you disappoint me greatly, especially you Lord Boris. I had hoped that these apparent "issues" you had with us and USN would have been cleared up when I talked with you all those months ago, but it seems you ignored me. It's rather annoying that I never had a clear answer as to what your grievances with us even were, maybe that was the joke, that there wasn't any. So instead of trying to do the reasonable thing and be mildly nice when talking to anyone tangentially allied to us, you act like we did something wrong and we should go and die. That's your choice I suppose, but really, is it necessary to act like this? After all, you're allied to Europa which is a self-proclaimed lulz alliance, so I'll assume they're dragging your FA policies through the dirt. [s]Thanks for the understanding and diplomacy when we asked for it FEAR/BFF.[/s] [/quote] so the bloc of BFF disappoints you greatly, and you state that BFF is allied to Europa. just... in the event that you missed the memo: Europa is a member of BFF. we're a stakeholder in the goings on of the loveshack of doom that just landed on your feelings like dorthy's house. except we're in technicolour all the time. also: deebo is no longer in Europa, so nobody is dragging BFF's FA policies through the dirt any longer. [quote name='Dexomega' timestamp='1323022823' post='2862396'] This is less about the war being fought and more with the general flow of, well, every single conversation I've had with anyone in BFF for months now. It's annoying to be bullrushed on the OWF and outright mocked on IRC many, many times when I still had no idea what the hell I was being attacked for. When I and Boris [url="http://tinyurl.com/d9r4tux"]talked[/url] back in August, I assumed we'd at least [i]act[/i] nicely towards one another, but as the last few months told us, Europa loves showing off their stuff on the OWF and FEAR is cool going along with it. Whether Europa actively affects the Bloc's FA is ambiguous, but it's obvious that they love calling us out at every single chance they get. You say that you don't give a flying &^%$. If so, stay out of our threads. Stay out of our IRC. Stay out of my care zone. Then I can stop caring about [i]you[/i]. /rant [/quote] if you have a problem with Europa, come to us with that issue. obviously, you thought you were bros with FEAR. did you apply for BFF membership? no? not bros. any argument you have about why X should have happened because you're such a nice guy can be countered with the rebuttal of "not bros."

o/ FEAR o/ Europa o/ Wolfpack o/ BFF stellar gifs are stellar. good luck to USN's guys that i'm beating with my meatstick

grats, guys. even if you don't disband, we'll still love you. o/

[quote name='Emperador del Oeste' timestamp='1316925824' post='2807971'] Man. Europa's the best. All of you should join us so we can make 7th-grade level boob jokes on irc together. [/quote] they aren't ready for it yet. too much seriousness, not enough fun-loving. no homo.

[quote name='Emperor Marx' timestamp='1316869879' post='2807344'] Europa would have been rolled for this joke back in late 2007/early 2008. [/quote] those were the days.

sorry to see you guys lay down the sword for right now. good luck in your next endeavour.

woot! hbd guys. sadly, i cannot attend the IRC event, but i'm there in spirit, doing a kegstand

o/ wolfpack 3mil milestone next

[quote name='Ragashingo' timestamp='1296545386' post='2614422'] Less than two weeks of war? Really? Quick surrenders like this help make wars boring one sided beat downs. We don't have enough wars around here, then when we finally get a good one it goes up like a flash in a pan because too many alliances can't stand the heat. How many direct allies did MCXA leave behind to burn? How many more alliances where this decision harm? If you can't hold your alliance together for three months under curbstomp conditions then you may as well go ask the GPA for a neutrality handbook. [/quote] we came in to defend UINE. last i checked, 1/3 of their nations are in peace mode and their top seven nations are hanging out while the rest of the alliance burns. they want to stay and fight by putting their alliance through the grinder, that is their issue. personally, i don't see why we should fight to defend them when they haven't lifted a finger to defend themselves. to our enemies: o/ DICE o/ GRUE o/ INT o/ =LOST= o/ LSF o/ NEAT o/ ODN o/ Tetris especially INT, with whom i had six wars with. good times, great oldies. jesus the viking was the best opposition i had, and i loved every second of radiation.

[quote name='mdnss69' timestamp='1296387275' post='2611021']We here in the Directorate will stick this out as long as our brothers in the MCXA are fighting and bleeding, killing and maiming. Until the day their war ends, we will fight with everything we have. [/quote] o/ UBD we're glad to be in this with you.

[quote name='Believland' timestamp='1296357651' post='2610287'] So you've always had bad warchest policies? Good to know. [/quote]beat me to it. looks like INT burns through their cash as fast as they can for grins.

[quote name='Banksy' timestamp='1296342641' post='2610046'] Considering the warchests i've seen out of MCXA, and the rate you're shedding NS, it is hilarious to see you of all people lecturing others on nation growth. [/quote] there are 5999infra nations in INT that had a couple hundred thousand dollars and next to no spies when they declared war. not every nation is a paragon for building and many alliances face warchest issues. INT is in far worse shape, monetarily. [quote name='Banksy' timestamp='1296342641' post='2610046'] Oh god, it gets better. There is no infra jump from 2999 to 3999 infra, do you honestly tell your nations to save for 1000 infra instead of the 250-300 standard? The only reason I can think of telling sub-4k infra nations to have a warchest is because you are incapable of supplying them with aid in war time. In which case you are doing your opponents a favour as they rip 2m off you daily in GAs. [/quote] depends what nation it is and what the ruler's aims and goals are. MCXA doesn't order it's members to save for 1000infra jumps at a time. i purchased 1000infra and then hammered my six opponents down on my own. to date, i have lost only $5mil to my enemies in my six wars and none of them have received aid to help them in their wars after i bankrupted them. INT did me a favour by leaving their members to twist in the wind.

[quote name='jraenar' timestamp='1296334832' post='2609876'] He's kinda right. A typical 16kNS nation has around 3k infra, with bills a bit over $500k/day and taxes around $1m/day. Could be slightly higher with good trades and a few wonders. The only thing you save for at that point is the infra jump to 4k, which is about $40m. In fact, "war chest" at that level is your infra jump fund. It's not surprising that those nations would have under $40m; if they had that much, they would have jumped already. [/quote] infra jump from 2999 to 3999 is $50mil. a typical 2999infra nation has only 11kNS, because that's where i'm currently at. even with the wonders i have and maxed troops during back collection, i never really went over 13k. the issue though is the belief that small nations don't need to save money because they can just get aid. except then you have a whole gaggle of lazy people that don't know how to take care of themselves and you are training a new generation of people to neither work for what they are given to defend themselves.

[quote name='OsRavan' timestamp='1296263248' post='2608223'] I would hazard to guess that has something to do with Int fighting a throw down war a few weeks ago and then likely using what was left of the warchest to rebuild. [/quote]so you are saying that your ally was in no condition to fight and that they shouldn't have entered the war? then why, as banksy so eloquently puts it, didn't the bigger nations in INT send aid to their low NS comrades for rebuilding? as well, why would these nations spend every last dime rebuilding and not save anything in reserve in the event of new hostilities? it smacks of complete ineptitude from top to bottom. [quote name='Banksy' timestamp='1296272980' post='2608455'] Um, at that size a warchest is stupid. You send aid. [/quote]ah, a member of the intellectual crowd that believes in bailing everyone out when they run into trouble. pleased to have you here, banksy. your ideas are outdated and enforce the concept of weakening an alliance even more than they already are after a war, which should be an unacceptable concept to you, but for all the time you've been playing you are still a fan of weakness. intriguing.

[quote name='Mr.Shadow' timestamp='1296240852' post='2607713'] I suggest you talk to your alliance members then, from what I have seen in spy reports its laughable for MCXA to be preaching warchests. [/quote] i am not an official representative of MCXA, so this isn't holy writ from the alliance. i'm currently fighting six guys in INT and one of them declared on me with a $180k warchest at 16kNS. the others had anywhere between $2mil and $25mil and it's all gone. i tell everyone to build their warchest up, but short of putting a gun to someone's head, they're going to do what they want because they think they know better.

you all disgust me. everyone that says they fought well and telling them that it is good they got peace. it's offensive for you to all put on a front like you actually give a crap about them and so you post something here to seem important and put your name out there. i think it's garbage that they surrendered, and i have no qualms about posting it. learn to warchest, kids.

[quote name='Krunk the Great' timestamp='1295655291' post='2589803'] U mad bro? [/quote] again, believing your own tripe and refusing the knowledge imparted by others. i ran a nation before my current one that was nearly twice the size of your nation at it's peak. you'd heard me talk about it in the past before you went rogue. when you choose to correct your anal-cranial inversion and act something more resembling your age instead of a frightened little girl, it'll be a good day. until then, keep believing your own lies.

[quote name='Krunk the Great' timestamp='1295619808' post='2589100'] Yeah, Im at 240 infra. If you knew anything about war mechanics you would know that in a war, especially a 6 on 1 rogue stomp, you tend to approach ZI rather rapidly. Esthought pecially if you are getting nuked. I thought building warchest came before wonders You're really starting to contradict yourself. Stop QQing in my thread and learn how to actually war, unless you would rather not go into a higher strength bracket where you would be of more use to MCXA than where you currently lie in cowardice. [/quote]looks lie you fail to see when sarcasm is used as an instrument in speech and writing. not surprising. i've been involved in a great many wars, and my current strength has a lot to do with things you refuse to understand by sheer force of will. the world doesn't revolve around you, regardless of your beliefs. enjoy rerolling. or just rebuilding your sad nation. whichever you choose to do, considering you waffle with the best.
