    Didn't you hear? They expected their members to fight a war, who the hell does that?. Baskan isn't enough, we're sending Elfriede over too.

    Last time I stopped by their forums they made me stand under their skirts. They referred to it as "playing ghost"


    As I am sure someone has mentioned by now, a nation of your size could have been easily rebuilt through one round of aid post-war. As a long-time ally of GLOF, I can tell you that the only disservice that has been done you has been done at your own hands. You missed an opportunity to be part of a really great alliance, an alliance who would have no doubt had you rebuilt bigger and better than ever by now had you not decided to desert them when they could have used you most.

    Oh man if I only saved at how many of these I had. I think at least 6 or 7 times.

    I think you AZTEC guys are kinda forgetting some basic points so let me list them out for you.

    When is the housewarming party? You'll surely be able to move out of your mom's basement with all of these life skills. Let me know if you need a reference. :P

    I remember that. Had a good laugh about it on IRC afterwards, when I sent you that message telling you I wasn't going to attack with a hangover anymore. :facepalm:

    You should consider extending this policy to forum posting.

    As per our terms, a haiku on the topic "<%Petro> also, Merk[KoH] the topic of my haiku will be "Everyone mind their own business and let KoH and Colossus get along" to be posted in the whiny thread about us"

    And so, here it is:

    Congrats on showing up 5 pages into the thread to post diametrically to everyone else involved in this. The simple fact of the matter is that whether or not you think you need to justify Colossus' actions, everyone else that has posted on Colossus' behalf--members and allies--have tried to do just that precisely because it is an outrageous demand.
    [/quote]

    Hardly diametrically, just filling in the gaps. And I have been in and out of the hospital getting intravenous infusions to combat some pretty concerning kidney issues that I am dealing with. My apologies for not making a better effort to come around and argue with you. Perhaps you could spin me some sympathy? Something along the lines of "STA and Polar nations attack invalid geriatric lady whilst she's in a coma" should do nicely.

    Outrageous or not, it is our demand and KoH agreed to it. Not really sure why you think it's your place to question Hyrule's judgment, but let me lay it out for you once more. My members put a lot of work into the aid fall for KoH. We even solicited aid from our allies to help these kids (yes, I called them kids. I have known most of their gov since they were 14)out. After the failed tech deals and subsequent attack on our ally, a lot of our guys were left with a pretty bad taste in their mouths for KoH. This repayment of debt was meant to clear the slate, to open the door to future good relations with an alliance of which I am clearly a bit protective. And it has done just that.

    So why doesn't Colossus knock it off?
    [/quote]


    I hardly think we've been presenting a facade of righteousness. My first post in this thread states specifically that I don't feel the need to justify my actions. I've made it pretty clear that I don't really give a !@#$ what any of you think of Colossus or of myself. There's really no room for self-righteousness on Bob, IMO. It is what it is. Relations between Colossus and KoH are better than ever. Everyone needs to get over it and let KoH speak for themselves. I know them well enough to know that they are capable. Do you?

  6. [center][b]The "No One Steals KoH's Lunch Money but Us!" Pact[/b][/center]

    [quote]Monday morning and we were on the playground before any of the others. We stood in the chill morning and watched as you eyed them nervously climbing down from the bus. They made it to class but we saw how you stared at them during recess, calculating your odds. Times were that this field was big enough that we could all share in the bounty that filled it, but that time is no more. There were once easy pickings around every slide, behind every swing set, but the fat have thinned down and the skinny have bulked up. Even the socially awkward have banded together for protection. No, these are no longer those days. We will protect what we have worked so hard to build. Our reputation depends on it, and in the bully game reputation is everything. So hear us now, and hear us well... KoH's lunch money is ours! Colossus officially declares KoH off limits to any form of agression for the next 60 days. A wedgie performed on the weakest of their members will be seen as being perpetrated on the strongest of us. Be warned, for we are watching.

  7. Heya, Merk. :wub:

    Not calling Ferd a liar here but I was not present during any of the aforementioned "tauntings". Granted, I have been in and out a lot due to the holidays and illness. I will say that throughout the war there has been a lot of spirited banter/joking between our alliances on IRC. Perhaps this is where the confusion comes from.

    [quote]I'm not going to deny that I have good friends in Colossus, but this war hasn't changed my attitude towards them in the least bit. If anything, it has only given me more reason to talk to them.[/quote]

    And you'll always have good friends in Colossus. It was fun and I am glad we got a chance to catch up a bit. I hope you guys'll come around more now that things have been sorted.

    I guess it's best to leave those who were not there and do not know the relationship between our alliances to their speculating. I don't really care what any of you think of me or my alliance. I know we made the right move and I shall rest easy tonight (after update, of course :/). But if anyone mentions "exploitation" again, I'll have their legs broken.

    Unless there was a NAP clause with WAPA, I don't see how anyone could have a problem with what KoH did. WAPA attacked Polar, then got attacked by Polar's treaty partner in KoH.
    [/quote]


    Ummm...Polaris declared on WAPA (buried on like page 13 of an entirely unrelated thread) and then KoH came in on an oA.

    (I'm also a bit bemused as to why Colossus wouldn't claim this as the reason in the first place since, whether I agree with it or not, it definitely sounds much better than trying to claw back no stipulation aid)
    [/quote]

    This likely was not mentioned sooner as it was MYSELF who made the original deal after the last war. I have been really sick over the last week (much to the glee of my battle opponents, right Tyga?) and just woke up to this thread this morning. The others, I imagine, were waiting on me to come set things straight as I was the one present at the time of the original contract. /me shrugs

  10. [quote name='Jyrinx' timestamp='1325773589' post='2893325']
    But here's the rub: was it made clear to KoH that KoH was expected to not attack an ally of Colossus for an undefined amount of time? There was a post earlier about an expectation to do tech deals after the reconstruction aid was given (but nobody else has mentioned that; someone clarifying it would be appreciated). But as far as I can tell, there was no NAP requirement with Colossus's allies.

    All of us, and it's not just STA mind you, are criticizing this decision from Colossus not for the sum (although it is quite a bit given their size), but because you seem to be retroactively applying a stipulation for aid given. That's really not cool. KoH came in with Polar to help alleviate some burden on Polar's new front with WAPA. Disagree with their reasons if you will (although considering that WAPA also oAed into this war I find such criticism strange), but the point still stands: does Colossus think it's appropriate to put a stipulation on aid received after the fact? Most people would say no.

    Look, there's nothing wrong with putting a stipulation on reconstruction aid. You just have to put that stipulation in place before someone accepts it.
    [/quote]

    It was [b]STIPULATED[/b] prior to their receipt of the aid that they'd pay tech. They never fulfilled their part of the contract and now we're here to collect on the debt. Think what you will about Colossus. I'm not really here to justify our actions, just to set the record straight.

  11. Not going to read through all of the bickering, my apologies if this has already been pointed out...

    After the last war, when it became clear that Polaris would be unable to help KoH rebuild, we offered to rebuild Hyrule [b]under the condition that they sell us tech[/b] (at $3M/50, I might add). Very soon afterward it became clear that we weren't going to be getting any tech out of the deal. We were informed that KoH had a deal with Polaris in which they were obligated to sell them their tech. It would have been nice to know this beforehand, though I doubt it would have changed anything. They were old friends of mine. I'd have still sent them the aid, I just felt a bit duped.

    In light of recent events (KoH attacking my ally, on an oA clause, at the end of a long treaty chain), I'll be damned if I continue to try to play nursemaid to an alliance who obviously holds no allegiance toward me. It's time for Merk's kingdom to repay her debts, or at least a small portion. I am sure everyone here will agree that we've spent far more in preparing for this war than the paltry amount for which we've asked. I even offered a variety of payment methods. I agreed to forgo reps if they'd bring out their big hippy nation and nuke KaiserMilch and Ferdinand (my own members).

    If it will placate the whiners...

    Ferd had me worried, because I have so many old friends in Colossus, I'd hate to learn that there was a general dislike for my AA there.
    [/quote]

    Ferd has us all worried. You should see the dislike he has for our own AA.

    Wait... whose side is Colossus on again?
    [/quote]


    You know you don't have to ask that question, mate. Colossus is on Colossus' side, and that of her allies.

    Good luck, TGECN! The only issue that I can take with your new lineup is that it's become increasingly hard for me to keep up the TGE hate with old friends at the helm. Maybe throw me a bone and do something really dumb...for old time's sake?

  14. [quote name='Heinrich Schuster' timestamp='1323308950' post='2868013']
    Seriously Colossus? All 2M of you NS going to war with a 400k? Why dont you get some balls and attack a real alliance?
    [/quote]

    Actually, they were over 500K at the start. But you're right, I do enjoy torturing small animals. You should reform TGE AGAIN and defend Hyrule's honor.
