[u][i][b]THE TRUE[/b][/i][/u] Archmage of CN is not impressed. Good luck anyway Archmage, Minister of War, Alchemy.

We here at Alchemy have always [u][i]-Verb-[/i][/u] with our allies at MK. Once more the call of war has reached us at our [u][i]-Noun-[/i][/u] and we wondered, is all this fighting really needed? I mean do we need to shove our [u][i]-Noun-[/i][/u] up another alliances [u][i]-Noun-[/i][/u] just to prove how [u][i]-Adj.-[/i][/u] we are. Is life that cheap? Can't we be happy just building our [u][i]-Adj.-[/i][/u] nations and making friends with some of the [u][i]-Adj.-[/i][/u] people here on Bob? IS WAR THE ONLY ANSWER???? You bet your [u][i]-Noun-[/i][/u] it is. [b]Alchemy declares war on [u][i]-Alliance-[/i][/u] in support of our allies[/b].

We take it in turns to be a sort of executive officer for the week but all the decisions of that officer have to be ratified at a special bi-weekly meeting by a simple majority in the case of purely internal affairs but by a two thirds majority in the case of... Yes, I miss those days also.

[/quote] Sixty four calories of Alchemy, and sixty four calories of other micros. I abstain from voting because of my very biased position.

I need Detroit and Nashville to advance. I have a 1,000 tech bet if they meet in the playoffs. Somehow, I don't see that happening. Vancouver in 6 Detroit in 6 Washington in 4 Philly in 7

Yes, Willy I know the requirements for nukes, this is only my 14th run through TE. [quote]Something strange is going on.[/quote] It's a trap.

[quote name='King Charge' timestamp='1303711734' post='2699058'] WOULD it be the biggest choke in NHL History?[/quote] Patrick Roy's last game.... anyone?....

How did I not see this before..... As A long time fan of the winged wheel, I now appoint myself the Red Wing voice here . The facts are if the wings are clicking (and they seem to be (for now)) nobody can stand before them. Finals: Red Wings vs. Pittsburg (III). Wings in 7 Mr. McDonald I guess I'll be talking to you soon. o7

So true Mirreille, it's NPO's call what tactic they want to use, just as it is Doomhouse's call what terms to lay to end the war and we saw the 200+ page abomination that came from that. Again I agree, but for there current path to be successful they would need to turn the worlds opinion to there side. Now this may have been easy in the good old days of NPO, "Do what we say or we will roll you." but nowadays the jackboot has lost it's power. This will then require NPO to *gasp* address people (on both sides) as people and not pawns, lose it's "we are better" attitude, and improve it's public perception. I don't see that happening, but if it did wouldn't that be the end of the "Evil NPO" as we know it. So even in (hypothetically) victory, NPO would never be the same. Doomhouse wins. And that is the plan NPO has decided to take?

Yes, but many other factors play into if it is a good one. I (personally) would view EPM as the death of my nation. Any entering of peace mode must have a plan for coming out of it and "I hope they get tired of whooping us." or "Let's see how long we can deny the facts of the outcome." is not a plan, it's a hope at best. Eternal peace mode is just peace time "nothing going on" with collection penalties. Now I know I'm a little war hungry by nature but I would rather lose a war (I've done it before) then stay in peace mode with no hope of exiting. If you can change the outcome, strategically, by going into peace mode than it's a war tactic. If you are just denying reality then its avoidance.

[quote name='Amonra' timestamp='1297698893' post='2632998'] And bye the way, I am out of PM and have been for 7 days... and I dont have any Alchemy guys on me at all. 3 open slots just waiting for you guys. Maybe you should put down the pen? [/quote] If it's ok with you, we'll run our military our way, thank you. You know, like Invicta having ha(l)f it's nations in peace mode (A cheap shot I know, but I couldn't help myself ). I don't tell you how to cower, don't try to tell me how to fight.

[quote name='President Gunn' timestamp='1297367723' post='2628204'] You sir are bandwagoning. [/quote] You are at war with an alliance that we have a MDoAP with (I know it's a big deal to you if we came in on our MD or oA part, to us it doesn't matter) and your going to accuse us of bandwagoning? [quote name='President Gunn' timestamp='1297367723' post='2628204'] Speaking of which... I filled up my aggressive slots, I'm still waiting on two more people fill my defensive slots. Any takers?[/quote] I'd ask the same thing, I have not had a signle nation counter me. I need to nuke somebody other than poor Learz. Why haven't I been countered. [color="#FF0000"]Archmage looks at Invicta's nations.[/color] Oh, peace mode, that's why. That's ok, I can wait. [quote]On a related note, I found the perfect metaphor for this war. NPO is the pole.[/quote] Ok, even I thought that was funny Edit: Spelling Fail

[quote name='Amonra' timestamp='1297104743' post='2624292'] I am not talking about any war, I am talking about the way Alchemy conducts itself peroid. [/quote] You just accused us of quitting and running. [quote]Oh and PS. You cant just quit and run away this time.[/quote] So I'm asking you to justify your slander. If you don't like us I understand but I would like to hear any case where Alchemy "quit and ran" from anything.

[quote name='Amonra' timestamp='1297100975' post='2624192'] Oh and PS. You cant just quit and run away this time. Its gonna take everything your puppet masters have to pull our hands from your throats. Win, lose or draw we are going to smother you with our burning embers. [/quote] This time??? This is the only time we have been at war with Invicta. Oh, and if you are talking about our war with UPN, your facts are [i]very incorrect[/i] if you think we ran.

[quote name='Learz' timestamp='1297093102' post='2624026'] Hopefully you'll be more of a challenge than MK. They have no clue what they are doing, and I was getting worried this would be boring. I may actually have to get on at update now. Regardless of what anyone says about you Alchemy, you at least managed to save MK from going down as the worst fighters I've ever faced (and that includes Sparta, which is saying something). >.> Well, they'll still go down as that. But at least you're here to make it fun! [/quote] [IMG]http://i604.photobucket.com/albums/tt126/Archmagecn/bs.jpg[/IMG] Yea, I know. 10k nation strength in two days. I'm disappointed. Always got to keep it fun though . [quote]Everyone should probably say their goodbyes to (one of) the local MK puppet state(s) while they have the chance![/quote] That's funny, do you think we are going anywhere?

[quote name='Andover' timestamp='1282069310' post='2419964'] This war IS about our alliance defending itself after numerous threats and an attempt to recruit our members away from us. [/quote] I think the phrase is "Proof, or it didn't happen"

[quote name='Kalasin' timestamp='1281102860' post='2402673'] On the contrary, Aimee Mann, senators should represent their spheres responsibly and sanction nuclear rogues as a [b]service to this entire community[/b], with the expectation that should an alliance on their own sphere need a sanction on a different sphere, that their willingness to co-operate would be reciprocated. [/quote] Some would say that it is SWAT who's doing the service to this entire community. When my alliance was jumped by purple rogues, UPN not only didn't sanction them but they protected them. Pull up your pants, your hypocrisy is showing. [quote]If ODN or UPN or anyone else wants sway over maroon they should either have a good relationship with them, offer an incentive, or be prepared to use force.[/quote] Now that is how it's done. I'm still looking for an answer to: Was ODN called in, or just jump in on there own?

[quote name='SWAT128' timestamp='1280803453' post='2399039'] Cat Land officially recognizes hostilities with the Orange Defense Network. This declaration of war on my alliance will not go unpunished. [/quote] Do you mean that UPN, an alliance of 250+ members, couldn't deal with a single nation without calling in help? I don't know if I should or . Keep up the good fight SWAT128.

[quote]Whether myself or some other leads this alliance....[/quote] Don't you dare mess up my trade circle. o/ MK, I'll be thinking of you guys in 17 days. Archmage
