Except that you are completely wrong. During Disorder, granted, I was in PM the whole war. We also had a total of nations who were in PM the whole war. Out of a pre-war total of 97 nations. Of those 12, only 8 of them were 75K+.. when you consider alongside that , that we began the war with 15 nations over 100K, it becomes quite clear that we did not engage in a preservationist strategy, and to suggest otherwise, quite frankly, is foolish.

You can all troll Berbers and NATO till you are blue in the face, it does not make his question less pertinent. Sitting in PM for any longer period of time is not going to ever change the odds in favor of those nations. The only reasonable assumption is that they hope to sit out the duration of the war. Essentially, the are ensuring that the war will last longer, probably hoping cracks will form or any existing cracks will widen and strengthen their post-war political position. None of this is rocket science.

It was a tongue-in-cheek commentary on the "we wouldnt have the relevance we have" part of your post (I probably should have bolded it). Half of zero relevance is still zero relevance....was the point, but as I said, "tongue-in-cheek."

I may not be the brightest bulb on the string of lights, but even I know that half of zero is still zero.

I know it is unthinkable to you, since it is clear nobody in your alliance has given anything any thought since you DOE's, but it happens to be true that only did that blog because quite a large number of people ASKED me to. It really was very little with "hey look it is me"... the 1st one I did 2+ years ago maybe was to a degree a "hey look at me".. this time though, it was back by popular demand. What sucks even more for those of you who love to troll it.. it was a smash hit.

When the war ends, I may do just that... until then, I take it upon myself to remind people why they should be glad to be fighting you. Until this war peaces and a new FA gambit begins to play out, your alliance is squarely an enemy of mine.

Pretty much this. It is surprising that not more people got what I meant. The culture is the "Hey look at me!" culture. The belief that the more times their name comes up on ANY discussion, the more of a victory it is for the alliance and the more relevant they feel like they are. No, they are not MK. MK had personality, political power and charisma to back up their sometimes teenage-ish angst ridden edginess.

Ive been trying to tell people they are TRYING to be MK. Only the have not one personality or anyone charismatic enough to make it work.

Despite being a dirty TOPper Alyster, I love you, and this was well done. Kudos to you and congratulations (?) to the winners(?).

Azaghul my old friend, I will point out that WHILE your newfound BFFs in NpO were being raided by DBDC, your alliance signed a NAP with them. I dedicated an entire thread last war to pointing out the statistical ability of Platysphere to take down what, at that time, were 13 DBDC nations. The resounding responses from the Centurius' and Dajobos and Chefjoes and Voodoos and Chimaera's of the world were basically "Rush you are the crazy elephant guy, and you just want us to throw away our statistics to take down DBDC because you think it will turn this war around." Your entire sphere chose the path of inaction to deal with DBDC, all the while defending that choice. TOP signed a NAP so they could look at Polar during future raids and say "look bro, we cannot help you, sorry." During the second raid on Polar, DBDC had 1 nation on the AA (it was Caliph) who was JUST outside the top 250. He had 0 backup. Polar could updeclared on him, drug him down and held him a ransom to force a NAP or something similar with DBDC, instead, all the Polar nations he raided, peaced out the raid. DBDC are where they are right now, not due to anything underhanded, but simply due to the fact that Platysphere, when Ardus left this world, had zero backbone, and had 0 leadership that possessed ANY sort of vision. YOu find yourselves neutered now by superior play from DBDC, and you can find the culprits behind this by simply finding a mirror and looking in it.

It is the day before New Years Eve... and this is the best , most correct post I h ave ever read. I feel almost dirty for it.

I assumed nothing. I could not possibly care less how you cared. Once again, it has 0 to do with my assertion and its basis.

Assuming you are right, that has 0 impact on what I said. Ordinarily I would tell someone they are better than this.However, you are not. Unless of course I missed the decision that in an alliance of 61 people, the activity of 60 others directly effects the ability of the lone 1 to be right or wrong in an assertion. You, sire, are a genius.

In Janax we trust.

None of that matters, and if you think it did, it says 2 things to me: 1) your alliance is as bad as people think it is, because your leaders have no clue. 2) you have played this game for many years and paid 0 attention.

You can say that, you can even believe that, but if you do both, you exemplify what you have NOT learned over the years. Tywinn was in your initial gov, and EVERY alliance is always equated to the loudest of loudmouths. You have profiled other alliances the same way, your alliance has been profiled the same way, every alliance that came before and every alliance that comes after will be profiled the same way.

Not that I care one way or another, but the reality is every alliance that is not a major power (your alliance included) is 100% the puppet of one of the powers that be.

It occurred to me while reading this, that I have probably detested your alliance for 6.5 of those 7 years. I dont think I have quite felt that way about any other alliance. I am not sure what this fact says about you, or about me... but it was interesting. 7 years is nothing to sneeze at, congratulations fellas.

Your assertion that I am bitter is kind of silly. What your alliance does has zero bearing on me or my alliance. I simply know the smell of fecal matter when it is wafted towards my nostrils. You sat, for weeks, watching allies everywhere get hit, and suddenly, tonight, Enough is Enough. It would, as I said, have been a respectable position, had you taken that same ENOUGH IS ENOUGH (not neutrality) position when your buddies allowed and abetted and non-combatant to dogpile an ally of yours last war. It is not your neutrality (though I find that to be complete cowardice), it is your "enough is enough" statement in the OP. To try to paint me as bitter... or to try to somehow suggest that LoSS not hitting TLR, but instead hitting NG (which was my freaking point) was somehow magically because of Valhalla's efforts. You are freaking absurd. Your allies on both sides committed to this war. You chose not to. It is your prerogative, but your enough is enough mantra is simply a public attempt to sweep your obvious cowardice aside and try to soak up some honor, and it would have wings to fly on if you have taken 30 seconds to make a public "enough is enough" statement regarding dogpiling an ally of yours in the last war. So what we have discerned is TWO, not one, is the proper number of allies on opposite coalition to all of your others, to necessitate neutrality. Like I said, cowards. Aren't you just cute? LOOK MOM, I FOUND A TYPO ON TEH INTERWEBZ!

Irrelevant to the point of my post. Dont claim to have been pushed to far in watching allies get hid while sitting on the sidelines, when you sat in utter silence at that absolute same BS less than a year ago.

You want to hear it? You sure will. I could force myself to respect and stomach this position if not for your silence last war as a BS treaty was drawn up and signed in 5 minutes to allow another alliance to shirk it's already existing obligations to one coalition, and enter on behalf of YOUR coalition, on YOUR FLIPPING ALLY... who was already more than well covered. THAT was not an "ENOUGH IS ENOUGH" moment for Valhalla to make any public declarations. Not enough to stir the fires that ANY coalition would have the audacity to do that to a might Valhallan ally. You, your alliance, and this stance is an utter joke. NOW enough is enough? Give me a flipping brake. I hope (even though it wont happen because for some unknown reason IRON wants to protect you) that someone else runs headfirst into Polar or Mi6 so your crapstain of an alliance can by dismantled in the manner in which it deserves. Cowards. Sanctimonious, self-righteous, honorless-honor-soaking cowards. You utterly disgust me.

I second this worthy nomination. And welcome back (maybe) old friend.

No. This will land you on the naughty list.
