Apparantly RoK does not like to ensure that its Lord of Internal Affairs knows about the history of his alliance?

Us? I didn't realise Bel Air existed during the UJW

So the "conicidence coalition"s response to one of your allies being attaked is to sit in peace mode for five days while said ally gets stomped then come out and declare like 30 wars and declare white peace the next day. Evidently you don't consider TPF to be an alliance worth losing precious infra over?

Great to see such a proud bastion of blue team unity back in the fold.

No, a war is not always meant to completely destroy an opponent, it is usually merely meant to cause damage. Hence alliances usually getting peace terms within a few weeks. (Indeed, destroying an opponent completely is impossible short of visiting the ruler's house and cutting their internet cable). How does one successfully ground attack a nation without causing damage to that nation? By your logic, assulting somebody doesn't count as a violent attack as long as you did not attempt to kill them and only did it so you could steal their wallet. If you attack random nations that have caused you no harm then you have no moral high ground at all when other nations decide they will attack you regardless of how flimsy their reasoning. o/ 519 Nigras. Destroy this guy even more than you destroyed my old nation in the WotC

Why do GOONS want to recruit nations that look to fight yet don't have the stones to fight an even war (let alone one where they are on the weaker side) without crying to a bigger entity to help them? Are you just trying to ensure that one things get tough, this iteration capitulates even more quickly than the previous one?

16 pages later.... No it isn't.

It's good to see that there are at least some former-Hegemony alliances that have come to value their principles more highly than their pixels and also disappointing to see some Karma members not understanding that concept.

Does this mean RIA won't be coming to Pacifica's aid now?

The first step towards repairing the damage taken to Blue unity since the WotC. I do wish that this was BLEU 2.0 though. Yes. Isn't it shocking how a new major blue team bloc has some alliances in common with an old major blue team bloc? How dare those former BLEU alliances like tLC and UINE and ARES try to take other the world with their trades. Agora was an abomination which only widened the divisions in the blue sphere. It is no surprise that some alliances do not feel that they are suitable for an entity that seeks to unite the blue sphere.

Dear Planet Bob, I come to speak with an opinion on this here thread. Although many a bright mind have posted their own strong opinions about shaneprice's leaving of the Grand Global Alliance, and then the open trolling and dissing of said alliance, there are reasons that such a member left. Do not think that he was "kicked out" under "stupid reasons". He was let go for he committed a vile act. Shaneprice was convicted of speaking out against the New Pacific Order and also suggesting that the Grand Global Alliance "leave" OneVision. Now one may think that these reasons are "pathetic", but put your alliance in the shoes of the Grand Global Alliance. How would you take it if a member of leadership were to speak out against an ally who has stuck by your alliance since it's birth, or in this case "rebirth"? With that said, shaneprice was given the option to either leave with a partial good note, or be kicked. I, as Chancellor of the Grand Global Alliance, stand by the decisions of our leadership. Shaneprice nearly brought war to the Grand Global Alliance with his little "outburst". Think about it. ~Dephire, Chancellor of the Grand Global Alliance. EDIT: Also, NPO cancelling OoO.

Happy and necessary. o/ Cancellation

NpO have proven that reps are an ineffective way of "keeping an alliance down" in the long term and viceroys are now considerably more difficult thanks to the rule changes. Now, if on the other hand, you were to ask whether or not people would be regretting giving these alliances peace so early...

Incorrect

I believe that the flag should represent the members that make up the alliance. With that in mind I offer the following design for your consideration:

Good luck Pandemic. o/ MCXA, I understand you are unfamiliar with the idea of following your treaties as opposed to just jumping onto the winning side in times of war so I realise that you are confused but there is actually a defense clause in Pandemic's protectorate treaty.

As is TDO. And Karma PoW is approaching the 2m NS milestone \o/

Congratulations to Vox and also to ODN for taking this important step towards a better planet.

Best of luck to both alliances in the future.

No, I disagree. The best way to go about things is to call alliances who enter the war with perfectly legitimate treaty obligations "dishonourable" just days after lying to your ally with regards to your reasoning for sending them off to fight another alliance and then trying to isolate them by attempting to negotiate peace without telling them.

May the tulip fields open up and reveal the devestating missiles of destruction hidden underneath. o/ FOK

Happy but necessary. o/ MK

Deciding the reps are less harsh than forced disbandment is not a "guesstimate", it is a hard fact. If you want calculations, 500 batches of $3m every 10 days would mean that the $40bn would be payed off in about 6 months - considerably less time than the length of GPA's or GATO's terms. As they had not been significantly damaged, they would have far greater means to send out aid than an alliance that had been on the receiving end of a curbstomping for several weeks. If we are to believe that the NPO nations in peace mode right now are indeed banks and not cowards, they would already be able to send that amount if they were to dedicate 4 slots leaving the other large nations to deal with the tech payments. Unless of course, the glorious Pacifican Bank is not so glorious after all.

In terms of leniency, "40 bil + 140k tech" is far better than the terms FAN have been and continue to be offered from NPO or what GOLD got and they would be free of terms more quickly than GPA's ban on nukes or the 9 months in which GATO suffered a viceroy. Karma.

Congratulations to The Sydicate. I fully expect you to continue the growth and continue to become a stronger and more prosperous alliance (and I will be checking ) o/ The Syndicate
