Tromp

[quote name='Leet Guy' timestamp='1314794507' post='2791573'] He did what now? [/quote] Not really ontopic, but: kick off the last war against Polar?

Blocs have been around for longer then today's arrangement of the web, so that doesn't tell you anything. Not to mention that countless of treaties aren't honoured when a war actually starts. This old argument about the web I have heard too many times by now, years ago too, I think it shows desperation more then anything. Come up with something orignal, you're in the position to actually do it. (For that, I salute men like Impero, who actually had the balls to start something and blow the web up, intentional or not.)

Schatt, maybe you should use an image of Sherlock Holmes as your avatar.

[quote]Few will miss Roquentin outside the alliance, I am sure.[/quote] I'm not one of those. Roq, if you ever read this, I sincerely hope you will do well in RL. For my part, I will remember the times we spent together, as it always was a lot of fun working together and so to try to make a lasting impact on this world. You certainly succeeded in that, which is something few people here on Bob can say. Johnny, congratulations on becoming Roq's replacement. You really have big shoes to fill! Here's to the future, Umbraillures. o/ Roq o/ Johnny Apocalypse o/ Umbrella

So... Can you guys please wait with the war until I have bought a full stock of nukes?

Indeed. At one point we were even that close we were thinking about upgrading it.

Congratulations on peace!

[quote name='mhawk' timestamp='1301010863' post='2675262'] You did just hit a treaty partner of ours. [/quote] As I said earlier, we'll be waiting for you to counter then.

[quote name='Vol Navy' timestamp='1301010309' post='2675253'] Someday your bill will come due, [...] [/quote] Right. I guess I'll see you around then.

[quote name='Vol Navy' timestamp='1301009584' post='2675241'] Sorry but at the very minimum you are lending your political and military strength to preemptive aggressive war [...speculation...] [/quote] If that's the minimum, I'm fine with it. We're helping to get this front closed sooner, and I'm sure that in the end it'll have a satisfactory end for all those who are involved. Which you are not, by the way.

[quote name='LittleRena' timestamp='1301008144' post='2675218'] You should probably sack your coalitions opsec though if they thought no one could enter to counter this [/quote] Damn, how could they have missed that?! ... Yeah, you don't really believe it either.

[quote name='avenger218' timestamp='1301007285' post='2675196'] How are ya Tromp? anyway as I said GOONS is hanging this up. what self deserving alliance is going to subject themselves to Hegemony era Reps when it would be less costly to fight on until a better proposition is brought to the table? [/quote] I'm fine, thank you. Would have been better if we could have avoided this though. Do answer, what's exactly hegemonic about white peace? (Seriously, there was a time when people begged for reps...) [quote name='avenger218' timestamp='1301007460' post='2675200'] no it isn't, I hold no ill toward FOK, you guys entered honorably, your acting honorably on OWF but if you did give us white peace, would that entail peace with TOP/MK/Umbrella and GOONS aswell? [/quote] I can't answer that question, I'm out of the loop as I'm not in government these days anymore.

[quote name='Roadie' timestamp='1301007124' post='2675193'] Oh sure. The one time I get sigg'd and I messed up the spelling. Enjoy the war. Hopefully we'll be seeing you on the battlefield very soon. [/quote] Oh, I can correct that if you want to. Also, I'm sure we'll enjoy it. Not sure if we'll be fighting you guys, I guess that's really up to you. [quote name='Kajdav' timestamp='1301007140' post='2675194'] What people fail to realize here is loyalty and honor. You might think it's ok, but I for one wouldn't feel right about abandoning our allies, whom we entered the war with and for. As soon as our allies get out, we can talk. [/quote] I can respect such a position. Very idealistic and such. We're not so much different in that respect, it just seems to me that it might be better for both your allies and yourself to leave sooner then later.

[quote name='Vol Navy' timestamp='1301005942' post='2675163'] FOK you are imposing reps, just like Umbrella. Just because you didn't grab the money of out the guy's pocket, you are still part of the gang bashing his head on the ground while the robbery occurs. This thread is all about your backing of large reparations payments. So don't try and deflect it out of this topic. [/quote] *Yawn* We're here to support those we are friends with and allied to. It's nothing different from what other alliances do. [quote name='The Crimson King' timestamp='1301006168' post='2675169'] Except for the fact that I am not the one that initially brought terms up in this thread. [/quote] If white peace was initially offered, why didn't NADC and TSI take it? Now we're going to have to use force to get them off our allies. Unfortunate, but I guess that's what the leadership of NADC and TSI should have realized earlier. [quote name='avenger218' timestamp='1301007015' post='2675187'] as for FOK and GOONS there is absolutely nothing wrong with us holding out until you guys bring a better proposition to the table. [/quote] Well, I for one don't consider white peace to be a bad proposition...

[quote name='Thrash' timestamp='1301005990' post='2675166'] What a wonderful world. [/quote] I agree. [quote name='Roadie' timestamp='1301006645' post='2675178'] To late. You've turned down my mercy for the last time. Now you deal with the Dutchman. [/quote] Sigged!

[quote name='The Crimson King' timestamp='1301005056' post='2675135'][...] [/quote] Impero's right though, you can drag all sorts of stuff into this thread that doesn't belong here, but in the end there's little going to change at this point. We'll be talking to NADC and TSI at one point in the future I'm sure, have some patience.

Roq, I think everyone understand the rationale, they're just mad at you for actually having the balls the put it into practice. Also, christ, how has this thread gotten so many pages?

[quote name='wickedj' timestamp='1301003049' post='2675072'] Shame, FOK, lost alot of respect for you this war [/quote] You're breaking my heart J. Also, I believe the reps issue is something that can (and should) be discussed in a seperate thread, as it has little, if anything, to do with our DoW. Please take it elsewhere.

Oh boy. Here we go again! [quote name='Schattenmann' timestamp='1300999433' post='2674992'] This is [i]definitely[/i] going to speed up peace talks. [/quote] I sure would hope the message we're sending here is clear. [quote name='Schattenmann' timestamp='1300999836' post='2674998'] Let's go ahead and get this out of the way using mode as predictor and save time in the future, but beware, spoiler: [spoiler] [img]http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20100123025319/cybernations/images/thumb/0/09/Flag_of_FOK.svg/360px-Flag_of_FOK.svg.png[/img] FOK demands 30,000 tech in tribute from TSI [/spoiler] [/quote] Don't worry Schatt. If we would've wanted to do such a thing I'm sure CoJ would have been our victim.

Kyaris, this was a well written post, and I agree with most all of it. The Just War Theory is interesting and something I intended to write about, but unfortunately I haven't been able to yet because of RL. I'll keep this blog in mind the next time I'm going to write about International Relations.

I admire RoK so much for fighting unti[i]l[/i] the end and not surrendering despite the[i]m[/i] f[i]a[/i]cing such bad [i]o[/i]dds! Congratulations on showing who really is the tough guy here!

Congratulations on peace.

Ohh, someone call the firedepartment, it's a sick burn!

[quote name='Il Impero Romano' timestamp='1299974792' post='2661998'] Oh come on. [/quote] Haha, that's just too good to be true.
