Vinzent Zeppelin

I approve of this. #MakeMaroonGreatAgain

Would like to give a special mention to [b]Robspierre[/b] and [b]Doomsday Defense[/b] of MHA for their persistence and having the stones to face the might of Vacuum Valley for a second round.

Looking forward to it. Still sore, eh?

As per Article V of the Carnivore Accords, Nordreich hereby declares war on those filthy furry heretics known as Mortal Wombat. We care not for the reasons behind the current conflict, we are simply honouring our commitments to the Gayroller alliance. They complete us by putting the camp in our prison, the wurst in our curry and the wiener in our schnitzel. So here it is, the inappropriately named battle of Wombat 18. Signed, TurnipCruncher Oro Latexi PuliSher

Right on, glad to see this come about.

It is with no pleasure that I announce that the [url=http://forums.cybernations.net/index.php?showtopic=113274]Death T*oll Pact[/url] between Nordreich and the Dark Templar is to be considered void on 09 April 2013, following the one-week notification period which began earlier this evening. We wish the Dark Templar well in their future. Signed, His Imperial Majesty Vinzent Zeppelin, Kaiser von Nordreich

Doin it rite

Please disregard Tom Riddle's comments, he speaks only on his personal behalf and has been asked not to do it again. Nordreich wishes the United Coalition of Nations well in their recruitment.

[quote name='Hereno' timestamp='1347984126' post='3031457'] I mean, I think it's obvious to everybody that LSF was looking for a war. That doesn't necessarily excuse NoR for not practicing due diligence before outright declaring war, however. [/quote] So what you're saying is, LSF wanted a fight with us, so they did practically everything short of posting a formal war declaration, but shame on us for giving them what they wanted? Lol, k. Also, for the record, we spoke to two individuals, neither of whom ever told us anything like "go talk to x, he's our diplomatic guy".

[quote name='Aeros' timestamp='1344903660' post='3021716'] The only system where power is clearly dileniated is a Bi-Polar world order, split between two rival Great Powers who dominate their respective spheres of influence and brook no interference between them. it should be noted that this situation has never occurred on Bob. Because it is insanely hard to bring about and usually involves a really massive war. [/quote] Joined: 29-January 11 In seriousness, though, it's arguable that no hegemony as powerful or cohesive as the Continuum has emerged since. (Which, as an aside, really is a testament to the New Pacific Order's foreign policy in its heyday.) In that regard I think Vox accomplished what it needed to accomplish. Also, it's been four years already? How about that.

[quote name='Hereno' timestamp='1343926717' post='3017871'] I dunno, I thought Nemhauser was doing a pretty good job. His "explanation" for the existence of the 3rd Reich was grade-A humor. It's a shame Zepp hasn't showed up to tell me how I'm wrong about the beliefs of the "national anarchists" as well. [/quote] Please, do let everyone here know what you think you know about my politics based on a sentence in my nation bio. I can tell this is important to you.

It's been fun. Don't be strangers, now.

Good showing, gentlemen.

It has been a pleasure, Legacy.

[quote name='USMC123' timestamp='1340219015' post='2990374'] [2012-06-17 19:11:49] <USMC|AWAY> /mode #blackguards +s [/quote] You missed one. [quote name='Yevgeni Luchenkov' timestamp='1340220163' post='2990399'] Now, let's get a few facts straight. Yes, Opti acted badly. Yes, he should have apologized. He was keen on doing so (I could give logs but who cares, at this point). However, IRON wanted all of LSF to apologize for the actions of a less-than-24-hours member. Fine, we gave them an apology. Was it half-assed? Sure, we took a jab at them when we did it. If war is the new standard for what the enemy perceives to be half-assed apologies, I certainly expect that nobody will be giving any in the future. You want us to be sorry for what? A guy got high and had a bit of fun on IRC. Several alliances have seen their members do it in the past, some of them being actually in favor of this new war. I hope that you guys stay on top for a while for your members are keen on doing such shenanigans as well. The LSF, as a whole, wasn't sorry. We felt it was business between Opti and IRON. We still presented an apology but decided to include a jab in it. Now, if that is enough to justify war, then so be it.[/quote] I'm willing to wager that those other alliances you mentioned did the responsible thing by contacting the alliance on the receiving end of the "bit of fun", letting them know that the member in question was not acting on the alliance's behalf and that the member in question will be held accountable for his or her actions, and generally acting in such a way as to reconcile the diplomatic incident. The LSF did none of that.

[quote name='Steve Buscemi' timestamp='1340215393' post='2990284'] Can't say I blame you for moving on one the most blatant CB's in CN history.[/quote] LSF seems to be making a habit of giving those out. [quote name='Hereno' timestamp='1340215800' post='2990295'] It is extremely obvious that IRON is taking advantage of LSF's current political and military situation, whether that is to further other goals, or merely because they're butthurt over what amounts to nothing. [/quote] Or perhaps they, like we, don't have limitless tolerance for blatant impropriety. Welcome to the fight, IRON.

[quote name='kingzog' timestamp='1340201466' post='2990002'] Perhaps they are, but with that attitude I suspect it's your ass that will be paying for it. [/quote] You always did have some of the best one-liners around. Glad to see you back.

[quote name='magicninja' timestamp='1340018128' post='2987531'] No flag. Not official. [/quote] I added the "Official Nordreich Announcement" banner. Official enough now?

[quote name='Hereno' timestamp='1340011132' post='2987505'] The OP is !@#$@#$ hilarious considering Nordreich, you know, your allies, weren't even able to make a proper DoW on LSF, or at least a "recognition of war" statement that would go along with your nonsense and spin.[/quote] Looking for this? http://forums.cybernations.net/index.php?showtopic=111479&view=findpost&p=2982955

[quote name='Ayatollah Bromeini' timestamp='1339955523' post='2986526'] Hereno is correct. Nordreich has a rich and respectable history and would never bully an alliance just becau.. http://z15.invisionfree.com/Cyber_Nations/index.php?showtopic=75948 welp. [/quote] > Not-Nordreich attacked Not-LSF 5 years ago, in an episode for which Martens has publicly apologized. You make a compelling argument.

[quote name='Hereno' timestamp='1339845222' post='2985737'] I don't think these are very good, but the bar in this thread isn't very high so whatever. Either way, I like fooling around on GIMP and figuring out how to make things that aren't stick figures. (snip) [/quote] Martens was once an LSF member. Just throwing that out there.

[quote name='Bordiga' timestamp='1339692635' post='2983576'] I'm pretty sure that White Chocolate's point is not that Umbrella came to an agreement with NordReich as opposed to what LSF did. It is that the same situation occurs all the time with different alliances, but who are allowed to get away with it due to their political/military standing. Like, for example, is happening right now with MK. Or every other recent big war. Quite frankly I dislike both NordReich and CSN. But allies are allies are allies are allies. [/quote] Certainly, nations knowingly aiding nuclear rogues happens frequently. What doesn't happen frequently: Five nations from an alliance knowingly aiding a nuclear rogue, one of whom uses his power as the alliance's team senate candidate to remove sanctions placed on said nation, and said alliance refusing to engage in dialogue when contacted about the matter. For those interested, here is what happened during our attempts to resolve this peacefully: [quote] 19:28:45 (Zeppelin) hail 19:28:56 [Sabcat] hi 19:29:23 (Zeppelin) so about this rogue incident. I noticed a couple LSF members have sent aid to one of them 19:29:38 [Sabcat] rogues? 19:30:18 (Zeppelin) http://www.cybernations.net/nation_drill_display.asp?Nation_ID=247067 19:30:19 (Zeppelin) and http://www.cybernations.net/nation_drill_display.asp?Nation_ID=410758 19:31:20 [Sabcat] what rogues? 19:31:36 (Zeppelin) the nations I just linked. 19:31:55 (Zeppelin) unless this is a LSF-sanctioned action, in which case I guess they wouldn't be rogues after all 19:33:48 (Zeppelin) so? 19:34:45 [Sabcat] Rogues? what rogues?[/quote] [quote]23:25 bandnerd[NoR] aggressivenutmeg, are you here? 23:26 Aggressivenutmeg hey 23:26 bandnerd[NoR] any chance you have got my PM's on your forums? 23:27 Aggressivenutmeg hang on 23:27 Aggressivenutmeg I just saw them now 23:28 Aggressivenutmeg we're fully aware 23:34 bandnerd[NoR] and why then exactly have 3 of your members, senate member included, sent aid to those at war against us? 23:37 Aggressivenutmeg Our members are free to do as they please[/quote] In hindsight, I wasn't really expecting anything to come of it; LSF was already making war preparations. From what I can tell, they just wanted a good old-fashioned brawl with us, and that's fine. But let's not be disingenuous; this is a situation entirely of their making, and has nothing to do with Arod Johns being Arod Johns.

[center][img]http://culture.nordreich.eu/var/resizes/Other-Pictures/Official%20Announcement.png[/img][/center] Aiding rogue nations has always been treated as an act of war. Attempts at diplomatic contact were received with answers such as "rogues? what rogues?" Last night, after several LSF members had sent foreign aid to the two nuclear rogues (including such reasons as "Proxy War"), we informed the LSF that any further aid would be considered an implicit declaration of war against Nordreich. Mere hours later, the LSF's Pink Team senator lifted the sanction on the larger rogue nation, so as of tonight we are formally answering LSF's acts of aggression and formally acknowledging a state of war between ourselves and the LSF.
