No, you are not rogues. Instead, you are ascending via the unjust path to true GOONdom! You have become the very monsters that you sought to destroy! Deploy the mercy board and let TTE beg for forgiveness!

[quote name='memoryproblems' timestamp='1324678917' post='2885091'] I really don't think you understand warfare or what makes a warrior at all. [/quote] Well, assuming your nation link is correct [url=http://tournament.cybernations.net/nation_drill_display.asp?Nation_ID=1000717]Orion[/url] 18 days old 0 Attacking + 11,087 Defending = 11,087 Casualties 0 Offensive wars Please enlighten us all about what being a warrior is by your obviously superior standards? --- Anyway, a fun war so far, my only criticism is the lousy timing as I'll now be inactive the next few days after update.. (ooc: RL commitments, travelling etc)

[quote name='Eric F' timestamp='1310060413' post='2751472'] Hi Black Beard here. I was not aware that sanctions during war were thought of as "dirty pool". I will lift the sanctions on your members as soon as possible, I acted on my own accord and The Black Pearl command did not give me permission or suggestions to do such. Again I will lift sanctions asap. Part of being a quality personality is realizing when you are wrong. Clearly I was wrong. I will not be leaving the black team but The sanctions will come off when possible. [/quote] No problem. Just switch to sugar+spices and temp my TC until the sanction is lifted in 3 days, it's that easy! Have you seen the price of tech and land these days?

[quote name='Shaazzam' timestamp='1297203788' post='2626080'] This has been a good scrap! [/quote] Yes! Number of Soldiers Lost in All Wars. 49,533 Attacking + 54,858 Defending = 104,391 Casualties Casualty Rank: Ranked #15 of 1,193 Nations (1.26%) A good 12-day war with NB here, including an epic down-declare blitz on my lazy nation by Thai/frogurt (both top 5 at the time), some nice 30+ war message days.. ah yes.. So, not as good as round 14 for me (MakkaPakka, rank #2), my build/trades were never quite there this round but some good hack and slay at least..

Number of Soldiers Lost in All Wars: 64,201 Attacking + 124,496 Defending = 188,697 Casualties Casualty Rank: Ranked #2 of 1,239 Nations (0.16%) Not too shabby overall, up-declaring in hellweek is always fun. I'm having a good scrap with bubba (rank #1 casualties), but the rest are fairly done now (arcticllama put up an excellent fight though!) So wise rulers of steve, do I save my remaining massive warchest and rush for the flag on the last day or buy up a ton of infra tomorrow after final bills and go for 250k+ casualties? Also, two defensive slots open if anyone wants some..

[quote name='StevieG' timestamp='1290404980' post='2520047'] tl;dr Duckroll Declares War on Pork Shrimp, and others. No hard feelings [/quote] As unofficial spokesman of 'and others' I would like to thank Duckroll for this friendly exchange of casualties. Luckily, Primo failed to anarchy me so I picked 3 duckroll nations who were lightly engaged or down-declaring, have fun with those 'warchests' guys

[quote name='Son of Taeper' timestamp='1286658371' post='2479848'] And as I said, some nations are not as they seem but I appear to have touched a nerve there [/quote] More like touched a nuke button! Anyway, after eating 2 nukes early in the round, I was happy bumbling along ghosting just inside the top 5% and stocking nukes up for a haphazard flag run. Unfortunately, with all 'you people' kicking off early before hellweek prior to this LE action, my poor old pile of pixels was pushed into the top 20 and targetted, despite trying to keep a low NS profile.. So o/ LE, I've had fun fighting alongside you in previous rounds during my time at harmful (WOLF, OP's 'welcome to TE' etc) so it should be a good fight! However, I only have one defensive slot filled, so if anyone reading wants regular casualties with hot spicy nukes served daily, you know what to do.. Finally, in the spirit of this attack, I'll be posting LE intel reports until I get full slots! ---- You have just conducted a spy operation against the nation of Vanguard.

[quote name='tanglerat' timestamp='1283898151' post='2445770'] There is one guy that I'd quite like to hear his take on all of this. He knows who he is. I'd be astonished if he isn't following these events. His name has been mentioned and yet he hasn't chipped in his tuppenceworth. That in itself in telling. [/quote] I glad you seem to feel my role in this is somewhat instrumental or pivotal, so here's some INTERNET FACTS to clear things up: FACT: I knew about your vague intentions to attack GOONS when UOKMB was a one man AA. FACT: I then came to the old CTF boards, firstly to see if you were staying/quitting CN (offered to put words in at various alliances if any of you were staying, could have sorted you protection etc) you didn't want this, instead you wanted a 'blaze of glory'. Fair enough FACT: I told you all two months ago that as a sub 10 man AA, virtually all treatied alliances in CN will not recognise you as a valid AA. FACT: I told you all two months ago that attacking GOONS = full and frank military response from GOONS plus friends, including sanctions. Two months ago! FACT: I have had zero contact with GOONS over all this, although I did outline your loose plans/capabilities briefly to a few influential people (you lot are nuke rage-quitting, I'm staying remember?), then declared a conflict of interest and left you all to it, again two months ago.. FACT: If you didn't want to attract raiders, Minornut should have stayed on Iunctus until MP'd up like BSR did. You know how things work, so either fail planning or you wanted to be raided to drum up a CB. I'd have thought being hit by a GOONS strategos would have made things fairly obvious, and you have had plenty of time between then and now to pm/igm me if you felt so strongly about it Anyway, I'm glad you are suddenly finding CN politics/shens/intrigue interesting, welcome to my world for the last 500+ days..

Hail El presidente! Hail the new corrupt regime!

Yep, a good fight even if I took a solid hammering.. I went into this rank #33 and rank #1 MHA; ate two nukes, lost 3200 NS and 90 odd tech, peak CR #2 and rank #1 defending, so a good week in TE! o/ Ordo Paradoxia

Not anytime before the 26th of August. We universally rejected these modified terms, all I will say on the matter is 'Option 2', hence the reason this thread was started

1/ PEACE terms have been agreed, and we have begun peacing out with RoWN.. 2/ Any further attacks will be retaliated to, then peace re-issued.. 3/ Draw up an NAP for CTF vs RoWN and allies and I will sign it on our behalf when peace has been reached.. o/ RoWN, Best of luck for the rest of the round!

Good evening RoWN! Thanks for the DoW!, the next 7 days should be interesting for you Firstly, dear listener and armchair generals, lend me your ear, I should explain a little about how this current situation arose.. Now I've had a bit of a good natured fisticuffs with RoWN last round, much CR and tech exchanged, but I was going to let it go this round... Then a few days back, a TPF nation (TE rank #5) raided a friend in CTF. So being a good natured sort of chap, I naturally hit him back and won 2 GA's, we peaced out. The next day, I was attacked by another TPF nation. So I took my tech back, and we peaced out. The next day, I was attacked by another TPF nation. So I took my tech back, and we peaced out. During this time, I saw a trend emerging, so sent this message to a certain person in TPF (you know who you are ) : So there is the source of your epic intel, King Alias! Now all I told the chaps was "we're going to get hit in the next few days, build GC's and top up warchests"... I honestly thought we were going to be torn apart by TPF, so getting RoWN to fill our warslots seemed the better option in odds terms, although the quad from kegkiller on my nation to enable the following RoWN dogpile/assault did sting a little... TPF military command have also promised no interference from TPF, it would be more fun for us if this was the case.. So, here's to the next x days of bloodshed
