Except Fallen Fool left us Thanks for the kind words though

Really happy to see this back in action!

A bit belated but a hearty hail to our friends in STA.

Seeing Circlewood's open hatred of NpO saddens me, especially given the strong relationship I've had with Lusitan and other members of TFD government over the past two years. Considering the assistance we've given each other, and I gave to TFD not a week ago, I would expect him to behave himself at least slightly better. I'm very disappointed.

Glad to see this. Couldn't think of better allies to be in a bloc with.

Nevermind. It will be interesting to see how/if NPO's strength changes if nations leave peace mode.

I certainly know how much TOP valued their first MDP partner. While I'm no doubt chuckling at the "TOP-speed" joke, I realize that they engaged in a lively, and probably spirited, debate about this issue. Good luck, TOP.

I don't understand why people feel the need to come into a thread like this and say "I saw this coming." Good for you. That being said. This looks to be a fine relationship. Now where is our tech Also Frozen

Seeing this makes me happy. Good to see you Lemeard.

It's amazing what happens when Grub comes and actually states fact. But keep going, detractors, don't let facts get in the way of your opinions.

I see you haven't changed a bit. Maybe, if I have a death wish, I'll start up another name change campaign.

I'm one of the minority supporting the name change And it figures Fallen Fool will come in here with his negativity

Except you're wrong. Because it did mean something to some of the leadership. So yeah. That's just incorrect. Polar leadership wouldn't have worked as hard as we did to repair the bond between the orders if we didn't have some faith in the OoO.

I disagree. Polar still was working very hard to keep relations as strong as possible between NpO and NPO. From my perspective, up until the time it was canceled, we still would have gone to hell and back for NPO. Canceling the OoO was a huge wave that shook Polar and did affect public perception. I also disagree with Fallen Fool. From the outside, GOONS always looked like a friction point between the Orders. I always looked at the Drinking Buddies as NPO+GOONS and Polar on the outside.

I'll reference this post And then I'll laugh at your comment about dropping a friend. Go read up on some history. You obviously have no clue what you're talking about.

It's not like we ignored the treaty when the war broke out, or did you conveniently ignore the treaty suspension?

This might be the most brilliant post in the thread. We should just call it quits after this insight.

Pardon me if I'm misinterpreting your post, but I read this as you believing we too, should bear the brunt of Karma's attacks for our previous misdeeds. We have paid for our sins already. We fought our Second Patriotic War. We also paid for them more heavily in terms of reparations than any alliance on Hegemony's side has, thus far.

Well .02 is better than negative growth >_<

I find it amusing that so many people want to e-lawyer Grub's OP. I will follow Grub wherever he leads me, and I have no doubt we have made the right decision here. Polaris Rising!

I wonder if the alliance tag vote will take longer than the new flag vote from way back when I hope Ponken made a seizure-inducing submission!

Ah, indeed I did not see that DOOM declared on NSO. I am having problems (OOC: No internet at home) keeping up to date with all the declarations. Needless to say, I don't quite understand why you two are so outraged by this. The New Polar Order is hardly cowards. We have made our intentions extremely clear from the beginning and you seem intent on ignored this, instead spouting the same line over and over.

Clearly my facts are wrong. My apologies.

How do I always find my name being brought up in TOP threads?

I fail to see how a suspension pending investigation is dishonorable.
