[The Sanction Race is ending]

Thank you for your work here, Gopher. No one here could legitimately blame you for making this decision. Best of luck to you!

[The Many offenses of the NPO]

NPO sucks. Roll NPO.

[The dragon is dead!]

Great news! I wish you all the best on your recovery Dajobo. We'll keep you in our prayers.

[The 'C' word]

Excellent news!

[The 'C' word]

God's blessings Daj. Beat the c-word into submission.

[Judgements]

Get back to me in 6 months to a year.

We know what you are alluding to. Thank you.

[When did FA become so lazy in this game?]

I have experienced similar things in the last several months through my diplomatic responsibilities Rush. I agree that this trend has probably touched each corner of the web in some way or another and it is indeed unfortunate.

[NFL Draft]

This looks very reasonable. I am really interested to see how Sam Bradford works out in the NFL also. He looks good in his work outs and as you have mentioned he packed on a lot of muscle.

[Calling Out Penkala]

Smash him AUT.

[A month and a half: How long is 'aggressive defence' justified?]

TOP/IRON are the ones trying to oppress us. They are the unjust ones. That their attack was a failure of grand proportions does not change the fact that they wanted it and made the attempt. If motives and initial actions are irrelevant then I believe you are again straying far from the commonly perceived definition AND the true definition. We are a hegemony because an unwarranted, oppressive and unjust attack on us failed?

Baw baw baw.

And what makes paying for the damage 'unreasonable' exactly? From where I'm standing, it is only right. They are entirely responsible for this war. No matter how you try to twist it around. Furthermore we are attempting to come up with a reasonable end that demands they only pay a minor part of the damage they caused which I find to be severely lacking.

Really? Entirely? Let's be serious now.

I don't care if it takes them five full years to repay their debt, it will still be reasonable. They attacked us to rule the world, that is unacceptable. That sort of action against us is what CnG was founded to deter. That they thought they could just sweep us aside and go on to bigger conquests is their own folly. One they should by all rights pay for in full.

Five years doesn't sound reasonable in any context of the word. We attacked no one to "rule the world". Don't pretend that what you are doing right now is what CnG was "founded to do".

[A month and a half: How long is 'aggressive defence' justified?]

A well thought out post Bob. We shall see what the next round of peace talks bring us.

[TOP's Counteroffer: lol what]

And based on these last couple responses the generalizations made of MK appear to hold true. Personal attacks have no place in this game.

[TOP's Counteroffer: lol what]

These terms are a complete joke.

So were the other side's.

Alliance Affiliation: IRON

Yeah, you're an idiot

Personal attack? Really? I see MK's keeping it classy.

[TOP's Counteroffer: lol what]

These terms are more reasonable then the other ones offered.

[How the war changes Cybernations]

And I'm well aware it's a game, but half the fun in it is the bickering. I'd just rather it was intelligent bickering rather than the complete nonsense that keeps getting spewed at the moment.

I agree with you here. It really is apparent though that sometimes EVERYONE needs to be reminded that this is a game.

[How the war changes Cybernations]

1) Because TOP/IRON/Company has NEVER asked for reps EVER from other alliances

2) It's not extortion, TOP & Co. attacked CnG. They're called reparations for a reason.

3) This I agree with.

So what you are saying is that because it has happened before it will happen again? There are numerous flaws in that argument. People change, alliances change, government changes, the game changes. We would not ask for reps, I can guarantee it.

It is extortion. Reasonable reps are one thing. Keeping an alliance locked in reparation payments for the better part of a year is extortion.

And to re-iterate, this is a game. Can we please just play it and quit complaining back and forth?

"You attacked us, you will pay!"

"It would have happened the other way anyway."

For the love of God can we please just get on with our lives.

[How the war changes Cybernations]

1) TOP & Co. would not ask for reps being in the other position

2) Extortion should be illegal in this game

3) War is the game. Play it.
