My those are some pretty stats you have... Congrats to our Nordreich brothers!

[quote name='Xiphosis' timestamp='1313302818' post='2780366'] Jan 2008. [/quote] Seriously, could you try and sound any more like an ugly chick that got dumped? I swear at this point its just getting embarassing Xiph, man up, own that you $%&@ed up and move on. All you have become is a sad shadow of what you once were, and its getting harder to watch. Skip the bashing of the ex and the rewritting of history for your sake and because its in the best interest of those you still call allies, namely SF.

Congratulations on the new alliance! Any alliance with Mila in it is pretty damn sexy

[quote name='Captain Flinders' timestamp='1312543182' post='2772575'] Are you upset that SF's Q&A is now outshining your own? Do you feel the need to rejoin SF so that you can gorge yourself on drama? [/quote] I find the thread sad to amusing at best as it seems to consist mainly of Xiph denying he dominates SF and other SFr's nodding in agreement, Liz attempting to be a bad ass stating she wants a piece of Mj, and a lovely retelling of some histories that frankly were best left untouched. I don't believe the quality alliances still left in SF can balance out the negative. I would urge Liz to keep in mind when posting all men love watching a good chick fight and I am more than willing to oblige.

[quote name='Yevgeni Luchenkov' timestamp='1312491422' post='2772058'] When will you, Bob, leave RoK? Apologies if it has been asked. [/quote] What exactly makes you think he gets to leave? Valued members of this alliance are kept under lock and key to prevent wandering after Alfred escaped.

[quote name='USMC123' timestamp='1312349985' post='2770790'] If there was one former RoK member (other than Hoo) you could get back in, who would it be and why? [/quote] While the list of former RoK members is impressive, for me it would be Alfred. He was always the voice of reason, and active contributor and invaluable advisor. There are others whos absence is still felt that I would want back such as King Wally, Welsh and the crazy guy that asked us this question.

Its just so pretty! Congrats to my many friends involved in this treaty!

[quote name='Gibsonator21' timestamp='1312245722' post='2769530'] If you could change one thing you've done in 2011, what would it be and why? [/quote] I would have taken my time leaving SF. I reacted to an ultimatum and allowed my temper and outrage over such behavior to make the decision to leave sooner than it needed to be done. While it was in the best interest of Ragnarok my one regret from that decision was the impact it had on RIA.

[quote name='Mogar' timestamp='1312178118' post='2768961'] What is your Opinion on Mogar related matters? [/quote] I have a secret affection for Mogar [quote name='Emperor Whimsical' timestamp='1312179383' post='2768980'] Your Motto is: "To Hell and Back, Together." Do you find it ironic you cancelled/lost nearly all of your treaties after this last war? [/quote] Not at all. There are alliances in this game I would go to hell and back for, some I dont even have a treaty with. [quote name='King Wally' timestamp='1312239532' post='2769449'] How is Kait going? I've not caught her in ages I hope the Hoo-tuplets are brewing well!!! [/quote] Wally The Hoolets are brewing nicely

[quote name='Nemhauser' timestamp='1311380863' post='2761605'] Unless another protector can do better, I think it's safe to say it's an ending. [/quote] They dont come better than you Nemhauser

Congrats my friends on reaching the Terrible Twos

Congrats on the new allies I know them well

Congratulations on this very sexy milestone! Wiccan

Any government with Mila Amo in it cant be all bad. Congrats.

[quote name='CptGodzilla' timestamp='1309902169' post='2749680'] It's not like I know anything about this or something, but let me try to give you an idea. [/quote] When I departed MA (well over a year before she merged into CSN) nobody left with me and certainly NOT members of government as you keep stating. Members started trickling out over inactivity anywhere from weeks to months after my departure. Sure, some joined RoK after Mamaduck and you (yes, you Sunshine) were left to run MA as you saw fit. I thought it was best to merge her or outright disband her but you all wished to continue and I was done. You dont get to blame me for killing something you couldnt sucessfully run. Lets not forget Mila had to take over for you cause you were nowhere to be found. You were so inactive at the time that you didn't even know you had been replaced! Mila simply got sick of waiting for you after the two of you spoke and took over so lets not paint this picture of you as a perfect leader that did everything they could. You weren't as inactive as mamaduck, but you were not a bastion of activity, my friend. Let's face it, MA was a fun little alliance and a cult of personality. We were not a military force or a political savvy group. We enjoyed our cookie girls, getting drunk on IRC and doing our best to NOT take ourselves too seriously... hell we had a charter in LOL Cat speak if that tells you anything. MA had her day in the sun and it was a blast but that time ended and it would have been far better to bury her instead of keeping her on life support or whatever this is.

[quote name='Vladisvok Destino' timestamp='1309895310' post='2749589'] That would be quite interesting to hear, as well as a few more of the people Alfred mentioned: [/quote] Monos Archein was better left dead.

[quote name='Xiphosis' timestamp='1308807799' post='2739086'] Alright alright, we should probably stop. We're running out of clever jokes anne frankly this thread is probably going to get invaded by some very upset fellows. [/quote] An Anne Frank joke Xiphosis? I am embarrassed for you.

[quote name='NoFish' timestamp='1308634519' post='2736872'] I'm sorry, Kait, but when your alliance and it(admittedly, likely well-intentioned) friends keep spitting up factually incorrect versions of past events that cast us in a particularly bad light we feel the need to correct them. Not to mention the fact that Rampage3 is still your second-in-command and has yet to even so much as admit culpability for his role in that fiasco, much less apologize for it. [/quote] If you're going to come to me with "liar liar pants on fire" please be accurate with your posts. I will state that I have been completely honest about what occured between RoK and SF, you may not like the truth but wishing things had gone down differently wont make it so. RoK has moved on from SF for obvious reasons and wish you boys well. Edit: Damnit Hoo stop checking my grammar

[quote name='chefjoe' timestamp='1308623091' post='2736402'] Im sick of all this bs, it doesnt matter what RoK has or has not done in the past, maybe the simple truth is RoK was added into this bloc simply to piss you off. It worked grandly id say [/quote] I feel so used...

[quote name='Bob Ilyani' timestamp='1308597990' post='2736035'] I find it funny that someone who's nation has deleted and presence is gone from this world is being grandstanded and namedropped for things that are long over. !@#$ happened, leadership changed, both sides moved on. Now stop the god damn !@#$%*ing and just deal with it. Or should I go out and start blaming you for the actions of long-deleted alliance leaders? [/quote] We are all at fault for everything that Taut ever did, Bob. It doesn't matter how many times we state that we didn't agree with it or didn't even know he was doing it. Since he is gone, they must blame SOMEONE. Sadly, that will always be the rest of us.

[quote name='Captain Flinders' timestamp='1308579991' post='2735830'] I knew this thread had real potential. I'm just upset that all the anger is directed at RoK. I'm accustomed to the butt hurt and angst being directed towards NoR. It's just not fair. Though I can't quite understand why all the resentment is bubbling up at this very moment. I could understand SF being upset with RoK leaving SF. That's certainly couldn't have been a very clean break to make considering the history there, but I don't recall this degree of outrage. I could understand being upset when RoK canceled some of their other treaties as well. Cancellations always suck and it did give notice as to a general direction RoK wanted to take their foreign affairs. But I still don't recall this degree of outrage. Maybe I'm not remembering it properly or maybe I just missed it, but where was all the outrage towards RoK previous to this bloc announcement? The foreshadowing of RoK's general FA direction was rather clear. At least it was to myself and certainly to any FA department worth a damn. Maybe you all just kept the butt hurt bottled up and this announcement released it all in one go. If that is the case, you guys need to deal with your frustration better. This just isn't healthy man. Having said that, I can understand the frustration. But the thinly veiled threats certainly strike me as rather juvenile. Mjolnir is certainly not intimidated. [/quote] Because raging behind closed doors about someone who hasn't thought about you or spoken a word about you in months just isn't good enough. We've moved on from SF, but apparently SF has not moved on from us. Get over yourself, Xiph. This bloc was not created with you, your alliance, or your bloc in mind. Should the two blocs come to blows it will be your own doing, but perhaps that is what you want? We left the bloc, took some jabs at eachother, and it was over as far as we were concerned. Then again, you have this nasty habit of making an enemy of someone in your own mind and pushing it so far that they eventually consider you an enemy as well. Paranoia at it's finest. I like how you got nostalgic for a second there, but I have to break some sad news to you. Hoo is gone. He stepped down eight long months ago and he will be the first to tell you that this isn't his alliance anymore. We aren't making decisions based on what we feel Hoo would do, we are instead doing our own thing and making decisions that we, the government of Ragnarok, feel are best for the future of our alliance. Let go of the past and the way things used to be. Our FA direction has nothing to do with you or your bloc. SF also isn't the bloc that it used to be and I'll let someone else debate whether that is a good thing or not. I will, however, point out that it certainly was not the tight-knit group of friends that I thought it was going to be before I joined. I always wanted to be in that bloc and in those backchannels plotting and chatting with the lot of you. Imagine my disappointment when I saw that SF's best days were behind them. Then again, that is to be expected when a select few (historically you, Hoo, or Delta) dominate what the bloc does or does not do. Either way, we do not hope for your demise nor are we actively pursuing it. We joined a bloc of like-minded alliances that we feel are kindred spirits. A group that looks at bloc life the same way that we do. You, GOD, and SF have never came up. Until now, of course. Sad that you and yours couldn't just wish us luck or stay away from the thread altogether.

[quote name='Delta1212' timestamp='1308504444' post='2734764'] I do so enjoy a good threat. It makes my future decisions that much more straightforward. [/quote] Saber rattling already Delta?

[quote name='Goose' timestamp='1308473509' post='2734596'] Roll [s]techno[/s]Nazi-Viking! [/quote] When you speak of my brothers you speak of me, choose you words better in the future Goose I hear its going to get chilly.

[quote name='goldielax25' timestamp='1305742542' post='2714404'] To hell and back, together, unless you do something that will drag us there, in that case you can go to hell yourself. [/quote] Really? You sure you don't want a do over on this post... I can wait if you like? Ragnarok isn't the sort to back down from a fight regardless of the odds, but you already know that. We do expect a protectorate to follow the agreement they signed and to act honorably. Should this be too much to ask of an alliance we have no issue showing them the door.

I have a deep affection for NATO and am pleased at this first step in what I hope will be a long and happy friendship. I would especially like to thank AR for her unending support and determination in seeing this happen. I adore all of you
