  1. [img]http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b60/mwarner2007/banner09.jpg[/img] [b]Declaration of support[/b] [color="#800080"][font="Comic Sans MS"]The good people of the Mighty Armed States of Honor wanna add our applause, applesause and anything else that might be construed as support for you folks. I personally thought that adding a DOS was redundant, since honoring our treaty IS already a DOS, but I got overruled. So there. We love youse guys. And since we were already best of buds with GGA before this transition thing, we wish nothin' but the best for all the others involved too. Now that that's outta the way, where's the beer?[/font][/color]
  2. With all that co-ordination, what else can we expect for an encore? Happy B-Day, Legio!
  3. A trap? No. Not a trap, but a set-up, and in this day of back-room gameplay, there aint no way to tell until the fat lady sings. And if my guess is right, she's still in the dressing room, putting on her makeup.
  4. On behalf of the grammar police, I'm just noting that it's "Chose" or "Chooses." Otherwise, it sounds like the video was outsourced to Bangladesh. I also kinda expected to have someone do this sort of video using that "March of the Penguins" movie. lol
  5. Don't ya love it when Colonel Fitswilliam addresses Planet Bob? Just to remind certain people, he and we continue to see this as defending our allies. Of course that doesn't mean we won't slag those who bring it. There- your dose of obvious for the morning.
  6. How 'bout, "The already and not yet" war? "ANY war" for short. lol or the "Really! For me? You shouldn't have!" war or "The war of Christmas present" Naww.. strike the last one. Too Dickensian.
  7. Bed= Where you, you know, sleep. ford= the car (where a vew degenerates here sleep) forrest= where the trees are (and wild admins sleep) To remember, it's simple, really: "put your bed in your car and sleep in the trees." Elindil= Nope. You have to read all 5 of the original Tolkien books first. So there.
  8. What you do is, talk your bro into getting his own account. Wait a month or two so he gets into the game and builds a few puny NS. Then you take the filthy piece of notebook paper he wrote his password on (You found that when you stuffed the sock in his mouth.) and screw with HIS nation! It will be worth the wait, believe me. Then for the ultimate pwn, you tell admin to shut down his account because he took your advice to multi seriously. No harm will come to your nation, I promise. Then, you will have earned the right to be called genius. Don't thank me. Just do it. -BF
  9. As some have already said, there's a difference betwn leadership and management. It's harder to lead by consensus than from on high (Or from behind!) but the results are far better, imho. That is not to say that a leader dithers around waiting for every squeaky wheel to be happy. Know what you want to do, but you're the "primus inter pares" not dictator for life. An insecure figure giving out orders no one follows is a disaster.
  10. I don't know if this is germane to what you're interested in, but East-west could take other forms. I think of the semi-autonomous regions of western China. They're already losing some control of the turkmen areas, and moslem uprisings there and in places like the old southern regions of the old USSR are common. What if Jihad comes to the Chinese frontier!? China and Russia move to quell several independence movements. The EU (Backing Turkey) and the US move in, on "humanitarian" grounds. Things go from Bad to worse. Some new idiot leader grabs the duncecap from Bill Clinton and High Altitude bombing begins. (Remember Serbia?) Hmm. There's always a little reality in the best RP scenario. -BF
  11. Whelp, my bad. Do you know what it's like to go through 17 months of shoeboxes to dig up a treaty with people we hardly see? Hm. They can still have the cookie I offered earlier. As for the rest, we'll let you know when we're good an' ready. So there. What a world. Now if we can only find their ambassador... lighten up people.
  12. Not only are these folks not in a treaty with us, any word search of Nii or KoN in our alliance forum turns up no evidence that KoN even exists. They have no embassy with us. What color are they? From whence do they come? I heve never seen them. Prove to me that they exist. If I show a cookie in public, will they come out and be seen in our forum? Eh? meh.
  13. Since gun porn is one of the few things we at MASH still have to fend off the boredom afflicting Bob, (That and alcohol, of course) we salute the OP. We should talk, do lunch, start the Jack Daniels' IV drip line, and I dunno... go to a gun show, or somethin'.
  14. I enjoyed the watchin'. I watched th' whole schmeer. But I do urge caution; Now stuff leaks from my earz!
  15. Our condolences for the members of a kickin' bunch of folks. It was a diplomatically awesome 6 months! We support every member and welcome any of them to join our AA family if they wish. Best of luck; we know we'll see more fun stuff from you guys later on. -BF
  16. "Ye who have removed a squirrel from said chimney, let him cast the first stone." Stubborn, combative, elusive, covered with soot... all good qualities, I insist.
  17. Dang! Now I gotta edit my info. We really should think of getting Flonk a new advisory title, like "War college professor," or something. Big salute to the player who taught me how to do an underdog raid! o7 And we are pleased with the accords. GGA fights like a squirrel in a chimney when they have to (and I mean that as a compliment!) We admire their tenacity and their loyalty. Lookin' for good times from this!
  18. Ok You are wise to seek the best. The video says it all We'll be expecting you. B)
  19. I am not speaking for my alliance or as a diplo to the OBR, or for Dame Themis. But this is seriously a tedious wind chase if ever there was one. All this Sturm and Drang over "May have felt?" Gimme a break. In fact, dealing w/ Dame Themis, I know she and the OBR could answer very well on her/their own. But... she said... she wouldn't. And... she hasn't. Looks like she kept her word. Can someone lock this thread before it gets even sillier? Please?
  20. To our friends, present and past, who have made us what we are; To Flonk and Co. Fitz and the lot from ONOS; Here's to a great 3rd year!!! B)
  21. Many and various congratulationez to our erratic friends! May your steady progress contradict your name.
  22. We havs the big treaty, we haves the big announcement! So we hava tha big-$@! sig list. Hail everybody! B)
  23. Those Damn Athenians are sMASHed Preamble Athens and the Mighty Armed States of Honour ( M*A*S*H), wishing to solidify our long standing friendship and the mutual respect we have for one another and in recognition of the need to defend one another from anyone who dare wish us harm, hereby agree, in good faith, to all the terms and obligations set out in this treaty of Mutual Defence, and Optional Aggression. Article 1: Sovereignty Both signatories shall remain sovereign entities at all times and will demonstrate this by agreeing to never knowingly interfere in the internal and external affairs of another. Both parties recognize that any overt or malicious violations of this article may result in an immediate cancellation of this document by the affected party. Article 2: Non Aggression Both signatories shall enter into a state of non aggression with each other for the entire duration of this treaty and agree to never conspire or commit acts of espionage against one another. Both signatories agree to never give any form of aid or assistance to an alliance or individual that a signatory of this treaty is militarily engaged with. Both parties recognize that any overt or malicious violations of this article may result in an immediate cancellation of this document by the affected party. Article 3: Respect In order for our relationship to remain strong and healthy, we must agree to always show respect towards each other in all public domains and agree to refrain from trolling or flaming each other's allies. Any disputes shall be settled in private, in a calm and dignified manner. Article 4: Communication Both parties shall remain in constant communication with each other in order to keep the relationship strong and healthy. Any available form of communication may and should be used. Article 5: Intelligence Both parties agree to share any and all information with each other that pertains to the safety and stability of one another. Any information passed shall be kept confidential and not shared with any third parties unless explicit permission is given. Article 6: Mutual Defense A direct attack on a signatory of this treaty by a non signatory alliance or individual shall be seen as an attack on both signatories and will be treated as such. All proper retaliatory manoeuvres will be taken. This article is subject to a non- chaining clause stated below. Non-chaining clause: If either signatory is attacked due to honouring a military treaty that they share with a foreign alliance, mutual defence is no longer mandatory, but an option. Both alliances advocate enacting the option, but understand that there is the possibility that the other may choose not to enact the option, for whatever reason, and that decision will be supported by the other signatory, regardless. Article 7: Optional Aggression Should a signatory of this treaty wish to coordinate an aggressive war against a non-signatory alliance, they shall inform the other party of their intentions 24 hours before doing so. Both signatories have the option of requesting assistance from the other signatory when taking part in an aggressive war, although highly encouraged to do so, neither signatory has the obligation to fulfill this request and this decision shall be respected and supported by the other signatory, regardless. Article 8: Cancellation This treaty may be canceled at any time, by either signatory. The canceling party must give the other signatory a private, 72 hour notice of their intent to cancel. This treaty shall remain in effect until this time period elapses, at which point, it shall be declared officially null and void. Should Articles 1 or 2 be violated, with no chance of a diplomatic solution that allows for the continuation of these accords, this treaty may be canceled immediately by the affected party, thereby releasing both signatories from all the obligations set out in this treaty at the moment cancellation notice is given.

  24. Revelation 13:3 might apply- but for now, just Welcome Back! We now need popcorn. And beer- good beer.
