[quote name='Heinlander' date='11 July 2010 - 07:47 PM' timestamp='1278902803' post='2367643'] Not like the mighty king of Shelley's fame Whose shattered visage lays half sunk in the sand; Here proudly our remembrance shall stand A deathless Goon coalition, whose fame Is a trail of pubbie tears, and its name Father of Malcontents. From its loud horn Rings world wide alarm: its froggy roar warns The gaped jawed public who sovereignty claim. "Keep, storied nations, your old guard!" cry they With greedy lips. "Give us your raiders, your poor, Your horded masses strewn without array, The wretched newbies crying out for war These, the hopeless, the GOON writ to obey We welcome into our esprit de corps." [/quote] poetryposting is the best posting

Welcome to GOONS, Facepunchers. Glad to have you.

#2 is kind of a dumb reason, considering the large advantage surprise declarations give in TE. #1 is fine, though. Carry on.

He crashed your forums on the way out too? Perhaps we should start calling him "berithus" Anyways, congrats on rooting out injustice. Good luck.

[quote name='Sardonic' date='28 June 2010 - 07:51 PM' timestamp='1277779873' post='2353540'] We attack with reason, we want the three Ts: Tech, Tears, and Terror. The opinions of the unaligned and under-aligned are insignificant and should be discarded. The opinions of aligned policymakers is what is important. [/quote] Actually, I think it's better defined as Tech, Tears and Treaties (Terror is sorta included in Tears). Those treaties being not our own, but the treaties of the unaligned or underaligned (aka diplomatically isolated). On this front, our raiding does one of two things: drives people to madness and frustration and eventual deletion, or (if they have two brain cells to rub together and follow our advice for seeking peace) drives them into an alliance or protectorate treaty.

Congrats Legion on a "crumple zone" I guess. The soft numbers MASH gave you might get you excessively targeted when the next war rolls around :\ I suppose that's good, you can look like you took your lumps before surrendering without actually sacrificing anything.

I was gonna come in here to chew you out for terrible errors in your Japanese... but you actually got it all right. No grammatical awkwardness or romanization problems...I demand you send recordings of your voices so I can criticize your pronunciation. Otanjoubi omedetou!!

[quote name='SoADarthCyfe6' date='27 June 2010 - 10:38 PM' timestamp='1277703482' post='2352492'] Uh ohes, RV is about to open a can of Whoop Arse on you rofflescopter [/quote] This post hurt my brain so much I actually looked up ICAN to see if it met GOONS raiding standards. Sadly, 15 people and a protectorate means it does not edit: also a little top-heavy. The real point was that the previous post was quite possibly worse than the OP.

[quote name='NoFish' date='26 June 2010 - 11:01 AM' timestamp='1277575293' post='2351076'] 28 minutes, GOONS? I am disappoint. Everyone knows a gentleman waits at least thirty. [/quote] In a certain lunar locale, GOONS cut that down to 6 minutes. Beat that

Aww yeah. [IMG]http://i46.tinypic.com/2z8xg5l.gif[/IMG]

Hah, I see through your little ploy. The Corporation is just "going green" for the positive PR. You green-washing capitalists, always slaving for the bottom line! (Congrats )

Alriiight, no more Angola for me!

Good to see this DoE finally. Also be careful of those nasty GOONS , they'll poison your minds and kidnap your sheep.

[quote name='dalstrs' date='18 May 2010 - 11:53 PM' timestamp='1274252012' post='2303114'] GOONS are terrible, terrible people and we should all be shot into the sun. [/quote] This man speaks the truth. GOONS

[quote name='Olreich' date='16 May 2010 - 08:28 PM' timestamp='1274066863' post='2300879'] It has come to my attention that NATO was indeed not fulfilling their end of the bargain on the GOONS reps. After a lengthy conversation and verification with Biazt, it seems that as of today, NATO is behind schedule by 7 days and is 5 million dollars short of it's initial contractual obligation (assuming that the aid that was supposed to be sent has been sent yet, otherwise, we may owe as much as 23 million in reparations before it is waived). The reason for this delinquency of debt is my lack of stringency in the task. Anu Drake wished to pay it all on his own, and, doing a bad calculation I thought that it would put us behind schedule by 2 days to allow him to pay the remainder himself. This bad calculation of mine has led to here. As of April 11th, 2010, NATO had paid $66 million of it's obligation, at which point fw came to us asking that we set a timetable, and we determined that $30 million per 2 weeks was a fair time table in which to complete. Since then we have paid $54 million in additional reparations (including reported lack of acceptance of aid as well as today's aid). This additional $54 million was paid by Anu Drake, as per his request. I apologize to the Goon Order for the lack of integrity shown by this. I wish it luck in extracting that additional $5 million and 7 days out of it's future war path. Thank you, Olreich NATO Minister of Commerce [size="1"][b]Reason for Edit:[/b] An "I" and an "of mine" was missing in the second paragraph, making it seem that Anu was the culprit of the miscalculation rather than myself.[/size] [/quote] Just quoting this to anybody who is skimming through this thread quickly and may miss the earlier mentions. The issue was dealt with and is resolved. Thank you all for playing, especially the New Sith Order. No need to turn your bicycles around, you can just backpedal.

[quote name='Archanis' date='16 May 2010 - 03:30 PM' timestamp='1274049007' post='2300439'] So I'm just curious as to whether or not NSO members even actually _read_ threads they post in any more, or if their members are just told to go into threads with the word "GOONS" in the OP and go GOONS SUCK NEENER NEENER. Any guesses from anyone? No? [/quote] They're probably just angry over the fact that their protectorate merged with us. We're still waiting for assistance in fighting off that nuke rogue, NSO

[quote name='Xiphosis' date='15 May 2010 - 06:46 PM' timestamp='1273974381' post='2299312'] Yeah, but he doesn't have founder anymore. We got that switched over this morning, he didn't know the command [weirdly]. The ops were an attempt to get rid of founder, but Syn knows how to remove them if he doesn't want Greene to have them, so it's all good. [/quote] I concede to Xiph's greater IRC wisdom. The people whining about whining probably haven't actually read the thread. This is simply airing a grievance about the extreme rudeness of a UPN diplomat towards the diplomats of several other alliances during dealings with a third party, with some speculating on how heavily UPN will disavow him.

[quote name='darkfox' date='15 May 2010 - 05:35 PM' timestamp='1273970136' post='2299221'] Most alliances are guilty for banning people in a rude fashion. I can understand why people would be annoyed, but still unless you had official business I don't see any problems excluding bruised egos and hurt feelings. Do some of you deserve an apology? Probably, but I wonder how many people popped in because you heard that others were getting kick banned. [/quote] I can answer this. I can remember at least 4 people who got kb'ed initially. 3 from GOONS, one from RIA. The issue is that Greene decided to stay and "guide" them afterwards. If some one outside your alliance helped set up your forum, then set up some embassies, then went ahead and banned all but his own, wouldn't you call shenanigans?

[quote name='Banksy' date='15 May 2010 - 05:14 PM' timestamp='1273968830' post='2299202'] Interesting, does having ops mean you control the channel? Try ~ [/quote] Sorry, I tend to refer to ops as "@". One FP guy has ~ . Greene is still a channel operator.

[quote name='Altheus' date='15 May 2010 - 04:49 PM' timestamp='1273967336' post='2299173'] He's actually not. Greene used to be the MoD before leaving to create the AA, Elite Nations. Since then he's rejoined UPN. Either way, life goes on and Facepunch are in control of the #facepunch channel [/quote] No, actually, he still has ops along with the two FP guys.

[quote name='TypoNinja' date='15 May 2010 - 04:19 PM' timestamp='1273965572' post='2299149'] Uhh no dude, Greene be your MoD. [/quote] UPN cutting off someone to avoid damage? That's unprecedented.
