I voted "I like Sparta."

I actually posted an announcement about this on our forums earlier today. It's kinda ridiculous.

Oh hey, we're still talking about GCW, it must be that time of the year again. Happy Birthday GGA from your green brethren!!!

I, for one, don't disagree that the "Karma" group of alliances aren't perfect, I'd have to say that alliances on a whole, and individual nations, have been given much better treatment post-Hegemony. Clear present example: Everyone who is getting white peace out of this war for coming in to defend allies, while being respectful opponents. Again, I stress we are not perfect, but we are better. Also, Rebel, you have long since been out of touch with the going-ons in CN. Your points in this thread aren't even valid. Few, if any, Karma alliances have given any indication that they will continue to actively practice EZI on the scale the Hegemony did.

People should try to see this without their predetermined answer blinders and view this for what it is. There are alliances out there, like Argent and TPF, who were putting up one heck of a fight and really putting a ton of pressure on our friends and allies. The coalition, beyond those on TOP and IRON and a couple of other alliances, is really spread very thin. VE sees this not as an opportunity to bandwagon on for our own gain, more like use the strength of our alliance to relieve our friends of having to shoulder the burden themselves, and bring a swift resolution to the fight. Alliances like Argent, TPF, USN, and SNAFU have all realized this and made the quick decision to leave the war. Note how they all did so with no terms whatsoever except that they do not re-enter and do not aid our enemies here. Those of you criticizing us for what we are doing to TOOL here, saying we are not being honorable because we are tipping the scales further in our coalition's favor, are just ignoring what we are in here to do. This is all business, VE is joining this war because our friends and allies need us to put pressure on TOOL to surrender, accept a no re-entry and no aid clause, and let them go on with their alliance's business. Is our involvement necessary to achieve our goals here? Absolutely not, I am very confident that this war would end with or without us. But our involvement speeds up the process, helps bring peace to the world faster, and lets us all have some fun while doing it. As for TBB, anyone with half of a brain knows what to make of your comments, and that is nothing. I'm pretty sure GGA, with Kronos and friends couldn't have taken 3.5 million NS from Polar while losing around a million themselves. And as for Hymenbreach, if we didn't have to make announcements like this to declare war or put our names on the surrender terms we wouldn't, we're perfectly content in doing our own thing and not caring if people know about it. Our only concern is helping our allies force their adversaries to the negotiating table, and it has been working exceptionally well so far. [/quote] The sad thing is we're talking about ex-Heg here. They don't listen to reason, logic, or truth. o/ Goldie. No truer words have been spoken during this war. Also, we aren't seeking reps.

Expected. The New Polar Order is the perfect example on this planet of a "fall from grace." o/

Hey TOOL, we're taking back what's ours: [img]http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/cybernations/images/2/2e/Oeff5.png[/img] o/ VE Maybe you'll last longer than the last World Peace Tour stops?

Nice [b]surrender[/b] TPF. I'm glad we were able to coax it out.

Evil new Hege-oh wait. Congrats on peace. It was a good fight (though we were at war for like 2 days.) o/

OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG BANDWAGON ROARRR VE IS EVIL ROARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR Relax people. 1) Treaties =/= Bandwagon, especially when asked: <CupcakeLovesSmooth> VE we you, beat up kids with us? <LordEgore> Sounds fun! 2) VE totally hates Argent and hopes they die 3) No but seriously, war is fun, no hard feelings, etc. 4) mhawk, we aren't ghost DoWing you, we hate TPF, sorry brah. You guys are an awful alliance. 5) War Etc. Also, props to Argent for being good fighters.

No hard feelings, business etc. Besides, war is fun. o/ VE Also, it' Friday and the people in Smoothland (OOC: Me) are going out on the down to get drunk. So yes, I'm having a great day.

The people of Smoothland love Ghostface Killah. (OOC: I do )

Cool story bro. Also, we're in the middle of a senator change. Our bad?

Good luck NV. VE :wubs: you guys. o/

This assumes that the alliance doing the declaring is responsible enough to understand that taking such action also means that others are liable to do likewise and that there are undoubtedly consequences for doing such things. Treaties are convenient means by which some alliances are able to manufacture their way into the soveriegn decision making roles of other alliances. If you sign a treaty with another alliance then by default you surrender a certain level of your sovereignty to that alliance. If you sign a mutual defense pact then you obligate yourself to defend that alliance even if they are miscreant boneheads that can't form two coherent sentences together properly to save their life in most circumstances. If you sign an aggression treaty you surrender an even greater portion of your sovereignty. To me, treaties have very little to do with building up a protective barrier around your alliance because the frequency of a supposed treaty partner choosing not to enter or to enter another side or to voice neutrality because of conflicting treaties seems to increase exponentially with every major war while the number of people !@#$%*ing and moaning because an alliance took aggressive action that didn't fit within their parameters of acceptable behavior seems to increase by an inverse amount. The fact that the "you attacked a friend of a friend" argument can even exist and not be laughed off the world stage as a ridiculous and preposterous notion stands as testiment to this trend. Overall, I believe the Moldavi Doctrine, whether through direct relation to it or indirect bellicose action without cause, symbolizes the barest roots of warfare in the Cyberverse. It isn't a new concept and has started to be embraced more and more as time progresses. Eventually the Cyberverse will function under it without it being issue or abnormal at all and the Doctrine will cease to be such and simply become the overall reality of conflicts. [/quote] Oh hi there ego. Moving on, though I agree a lot of alliance's do, sometimes, few their treaties a oAoDP's I can say for certain their are a few alliances out there that always do their best to honor their treaties.

Welcome to the fight brothers! Crush them, they stole OE's flag o/ RIA

I am glad my brothers on the green team come in the defense of their allies when called. I just wish we weren't always on opposite sides. :/ And I do hope you kick some $@! out there so people stop relentlessly bashing you. Though I hope MHA wins. Good luck GGA. o/ Green

Congrats to our allies in RIA! We you
