    Clearly because Mjolinor received more votes in this poll they would win.

    No, it is because they have more activity+experience+better suited stats for a 1v1 war with SF.

    "The [b][u]PR assault[/u][/b] waged by Rebel Virginia, second in command of the Sith Order, [u][b]is something the Kingdom cannot condone, and will not encourage.[/b][/u] To believe that we would is folly. We can, and will, deal with it. But we will not condone it, we will not encourage it, and we sure as hell will not reward it.

    But not when [b][u]you launch a PR war against[/u][/b] us. Not when [b][u]you take a private matter public in such a manner[/u][/b]. That is not something the Kingdom will support. As a leader, I have, on multiple occasions, readily admitted mistakes, and have not hesitated to reverse actions. However, the Sith Order has blown that chance."[/i]

    I understand the whole hype with transparency certain organizations have promoted, but using their popularity as a form of cloaking what your own alliance considers an act of war seems to be rather detrimental to the cause. And unintelligent.

    I just saw Mello covered it already but this situation isn't similar. If I recall that quote you brought up was from when NSO ran to the public to try and make us look like monsters to give them an advantage in sorting out the terms in that fiasco.

    The release of this thread was simply for amusement and curiousity. I don't know what political ground we could gain by making the NpO QnA thread public. As you can see it has already made a few people feel negative towards us. The first I found out about our publicizing the thread was on the OWF. Do you think an MK high gov member wouldn't know about this ahead of time if we were planning to use it as a strategic move?

    (note: the 2nd paragraph isn't just directed at you, but it ties into the first)

    On skill, well, SF has been in a lot of past wars, and they're better fighters than average, but Mjolnir tops them, with some of the best fighters in the game.

    I really doubt it. As a whole they're not very active and haven't been in a losing battle that I can remember.

    MJ pretty handily.

  15. How unified are the four blocs?

    Getting a ton of reps and having your name mentioned doesn't make you relevant. It just means you're annoying too many people and they are sick of it (If you're going to say 'it's only your side' then just don't. Obviously people on your side or within your group of allies aren't going to stop somebody going to bat for them even if you're annoying). Reminder that without too much effort you could have paid a quarter of what you did.

    And for your 'most active award', that means absolutely nothing in terms of useful activity. Posting on the OWF isn't usually what's going to start wars, so if you want to brag about something then please brag about how you are doing your part to shape the treaty web or start a conflict in the future (making diagrams and explaining how you want people to see them isn't working). I can't tell if you bring up the award ironically or are actually proud of it and think it carries any weight in a conversation so disregard this point if it's the latter, you got me.

    Alright, almost forgot about that. Guess you didn't have a treaty with them at the time, even if GOONS/Umbrella were obviously still allied with you guys. It still doesn't change that you guys are trying to argue your not a bloc, with your main basis for that being your willpower of thinking yourself something different making it subjectively true for you guys. Then everyone else can think of guys how they want, but they're wrong if they think you're a bloc since you didn't intend it that way. This isn't some moralist type issue where there is no right or wrong, beyond people feeling certain ways with no subjective truth that applies to all. Someone is wrong when some claim its a bloc and others that it isn't, that you guys claim now you don't care what others think doesn't change how wrong you guys are. You can either substantiate your claims that you should be considered something different, admit you are a bloc, or just continue to be wrong in thinking people should view blocs differently when thinking of DH due to your feelings. Even if you tech raiding alliances are usually the ones saying how people feel about things don't make them right or wrong, but only the facts of the situation matter.

    If you really think there are real differences in what DH is beyond just feeling a certain way about it, then what other treaties are people mistakenly calling blocs which should actually be referred to as 3-way MDoAPs or whatever you guys think people should consider you if they want to stay in touch with reality? If I'm wrong to think DH is a bloc, what would other treaties with more than 2 signatories (which I also consider all to be blocs) need to have for me to be correct if I referred to them as the same type of treaty you guys consider DH to be?

    Your whole argument is based on the assumption that everybody defines a bloc by the same meaning, which has obviously proven to be false if you read any of the comments in the first 6 pages.

    Like I said earlier, call it what you want. That isn't going to change how MK/GOONS/Umb members view it.

    Edit: Completely forgot to answer the OP. I voted 'no' and '10-20'. I think there will be a split in some form or another but there's always that small chance.

    You guys already had separate treaties, but I guess you guys could of signed more to make sure everyone knew you were allied already before signing a bloc together. I guess we could all play along with your delusion of being something new and more hip, but that you guys feed into each other's delusions of being something new when talking between each other doesn't change how ridiculous your claims are when making them to the rest of us. This thread is the first I've heard of this claim you guys are making, so I might as well let you guys know here I don't accept your new definition of bloc which somehow doesn't include DH. You're not the first 3 way bloc created with no plans to expand beyond that.

    No we didn't, do you not remember MK cancelling literally every single treaty we had? Don't go spouting about how we're being dellusional when you can't get your primary fact correct.

    So if I switch to the RIA pip I will be wired to vehemently accuse Doomhouse of being a bloc.

    It's pointless to argue because MK/GOONS/Umb will have the same political path regardless, the members' opinions that it isn't a bloc won't change, and you will continue to scream that it is a bloc to try and prove some point. I don't actually know why we are trying to prove you wrong because it's all interpretation really. It's like (Banksy?) said earlier, if we had known people would get so wrapped up in the idea of it being a bloc, we would have just signed the seperate treaties. But it's too late for that now.

    There'd be some seriously hurt nations on the MK/Umb/PC side due to the upper tier not being able to help them after 1 round, but if you had to claim one side as the victor it's usually done based on the better upper tier at the end of the war so MK/Umb/PC.
