Lady Red

I have netflix.

Okay snookums. You have fun. I've reached the acceptance phase of grief. I accept that you're basically methrage with a larger bankroll, the man behind the curtain is not the great and powerful Oz, and that Trix really are just for kids. I'm gonna go home now, eat ice cream and watch Lifetime movies till I feel better.

You've significantly reduced your ability to take those pounds of flesh though. Your AA could have done more damage if you'd perhaps consulted someone who has actually managed a war before. Instead all you can do is rant about how stupid everyone else is cause they "don't understand" I've had this conversation with teenagers before. The problem is never that everyone else "doesn't understand."

You're right. I've fought in most of the major wars from Karma to Disorder, not to mention a few suicide rounds with TPF's (They might be available for notes on how to 'go out with a bang'), and I've never seen a tactic that involved dropping infra and war improvements in the opening day of battle. I'll wait for the very clever way you'll somehow turn all of this around.

In the interest of fairness, I think someone should send Hime a basic war guide before the poor guy starts deleting wonders out of frustration.

This person for viceroy of OBR.

Please stop. I'm embarrassed for you. I just found out today that Hime isn't really an effeminate, verbose, respectable, unflappable world leader. Stop ruining Christmas.

Well... there's a new mental picture I didn't ask for.

I don't know if I want to continue existing in a world where Hime doesn't formally sign all correspondence.

Ironically, I think you actually believe this is what's happening.

The victim mentality is beneath you. You broke a pixel so you're running away. There was a time when people worked the problem and came out better for it.

I clearly DO understand, Hime. I wouldn't be so grumpy and generally disappointed if I didn't.

Sort of. I have an Emperor. I do what he tells me. Never once has he told me anything so stupid as to throw away a decade of work and an AA with an old and proud name on the opening volley of war.

We all know you're sitting on the money to build all of them back up after this ends. You decided on suicide war instead. If you gave a !@#$ about your AA, the post would have said just that.

I've seen them. I'm just bummed. I figured if anyone left in this world had some fight in them, it would be Hime.

Really? Seriously? Ten year old nation. Nuke potentials math nerds used to have wet dreams about. It takes a couple rogues for your to suicide it all? I might have been this mad when I found out Santa wasn't real, but I'm not sure.

Good move, HS. Hit me up sometime.

I don't suppose anyone is going to bother countering this one either....

If that's the case and it will likely be the case every time, I recommend canceling all treaties. You're not doing them any future favors by redefining the word mandatory for them.

You know... some of ya'll could counter. Just a thought. Suggestion really. Since I'm a good two years removed from politics of any sort and can only gauge by appearances, it does appear TTK doesn't have any treaties worth a damn, so it wont be an obligation. But I would take it as a kindness. Variety is after all the spice of life.

Me too.

I'd like to present for evidence to the contrary, the one Josef Thorne, admin rest his soul. Here are cliffnotes, in case you need to reference any more of our Emperors you've only heard about by rough description. Cortath probably wouldn't have liked it. He's you're best bet for this argument. Mary would have been amused on skype as she wrote something official and serious sounding. Brehon would have made actual effort to piss you off more, and Farrin would have made sure the popcorn was ready to go ahead of time. Someone else will have to cover Letum and Frawley for you. I recommend Lord of Darkness. He's knows all the things.

This right here... this is what I missed. Glorious. Good show, Auctor. Could only be better if there were comics.

The alliance system has been out since mid 2013. Jbone has been owner for at least the last year and a half since I last paid attention to it. You're telling me that at no point since 2013 you guys were able to collectively convince one person to click one button so you wouldn't risk losing your AA/ Can you start telling me again how you were active enough to be useful to anyone else as an ally at any point in that time frame? I'd really like to watch you do that.

Not that I'm not endlessly grateful to know absolutely nothing about this conflict and the people involved... but a war ending with terms that throw people out? The nostalgia almost made me tear up.
