It's ok, most of the people who think they know what the war is about don't know either.

I think fear and boredom have killed this game's FA
Quite the contrary, fear and boredom are both intergal motivators in the game's FA. :colbert:

Nah, might doesn't make right. Might makes what is.

TLR wasn't the alliance IRON was originally supposed to fight. They were supposed to fight GATO but threw a fit over the prospect of fighting GATO's upper tier. TLR was a compromise that IRON chose and insisted upon.
LoSS was rushed in because they were concerned they would end up getting pulled in by the otherside. The decision to put them on NG was made spur of the moment by people who had little to do with the macro-management of the coalition itself. IRON's response (threatening to counter LoSS) was handled and resolved through a negotiation where NG mad an ass of itself and IRON ultimately opted to continue to prefer its allies among the coalition and its commitment to the coalition.
To broadly respond to your point though, you're giving way too much credit to the architects of that coalition. It was as surprising and baffling to us that IRON fared so badly in the war as it probably was to IRON. You're of course free to reject this, but know that I myself would much prefer to believe it was a huge conspiracy and have little to gain at this point from blowing smoke up anyone's ass. History is just never quite that interesting.
I'll go ahead and second this, I distinctly recall the last minute reassignment to TLR, mainly because I was allied to TLR at the time. Was not terribly happy about that reassignment either but IRON seemed more than happy to take it over the alternative.
-
Pretty much this. The coalition ABSOLUTELY, 100% betrayed IRON 1st. This is not in dispute, and if you dispute it, you are just trying too hard to be a good soldier.
OK, I'll bite. How did the coalition betray IRON?
I remember a lot of people resenting IRON for taking a softball target in the war but I can't recall anything that could approach a 'betrayal' by the coalition, certainly nothing that could materially be constructed as a 'betrayal'.
-
I'm not surprised or angry, I just thought it was something interesting.
E: No matter how you slice it, betraying a coalition mid-war is not the kind of act an alliance should do, interesting that you guys would view it as acceptable. I suppose it's besides the point now though.
-
You forgot about when IRON nearly turned on the coalition they were fighting with in the previous war.
-
You do know you could probably get away with mspainting something on the mercy board to be released right?

Yes, the game is on steam, and it is one of the best of its class: http://store.steampowered.com/app/207610/

You should play the games instead.

I'm flattered you regard me as the best of the best, but I think you should give Marx a little more credit, he posts a bit rough at times, but GOONS is unquestioningly better off for his help in running the alliance.
-
Important historical note to readers: [the terms offered] were something ridiculous like 6 months of no tech importation.
I recalled the term but I was unsure if it had come straight from NPO or if it was truly the voice of the EQ committee of leaders. I suppose you answered that question for me, thanks. Unless other AA's had floated that possibility as well? It was a rather insulting opening offer.
-
So what you're saying is that I should be thanking NPO for pushing for white peace in the face of stubborn people who felt entitled to reparations? Because that's what I'm getting out of this.

Curses, beaten by ODN!

tl;dr

Hell, I'd be surprised if you've heard of the masterpiece, Bulletstorm.
-
How about you review a real man's shooter, EYE: Divine Cybermancy. Oh wait, you've probably never even heard of it.
-
But will it be five hundred and ninety nine US dollars, will we be able to fight giant enemy crabs, and will it have riiiiidggeee raceeeer?
-
Why would anyone want to play Diablo 3 on a console? It wasn't even that good
-
I liked that game better when it was called Planetside 2.
-
I'd go one step further honestly.
>playing fps games on consoles
>thinking your opinion is valid
-
write something about that terrible new aliens game
-
Educate yourself, christ:
Also, all I'm seeing is a bunch of marketing talk. PC hardware will always be more powerful by definition. Regardless of whatever ridiculous prerendered "lifelike" graphics you've seen.
-
Woah, look out guys, the 720 has a one terabyte hard drive and wireless controller recharger.
Meanwhile, system building just gets better and better, the core components (GPU/CPU) more and more powerful for less and less money.

What actually transpires behind the closed doors of an alliances' leadership?
