:Goes to ask gov permission to tech raid these to pay reps.

Well those two, Thunder, are unfortunate. Without knowing who sent them, its hard to determine whether or not its one of the 5 ghosts that we still have. Or if its one of the 50 that have left, one even taking refuge in NPO POW's camp. But if your using them to make your decision about the character of TOOL. You better make sure you have none in your own alliance who would react the same way to being on 7 fronts. I'm very confident about the character of TOOL. I hope you are as confident in the character RIA.

[quote]I'd like to call TOOL honourable but most of the comments I heard out of them was whining about how much damage they were taking from RIA members.[/quote] Logs or it didn't happen. Seriously. Whining? Really, I spend alot of time on IRC, whining was not the problem even when facing 7 alliances.

Well I guess the obligatory post by a TOOL must be made right about here. One TOOL post per 5 pages of debate seems to me a requirement. [quote name='Xiphosis' date='27 February 2010 - 11:43 PM' timestamp='1267339619' post='2207830'] You say seven alliances but let's be realistic, it's 3 defensive wars for a few weeks. Not enough to drain any decent warchest. [/quote] Yeah if you leave out spying and such. But if it helps you justify then all is well. [quote name='Tromp' date='28 February 2010 - 09:47 AM' timestamp='1267375838' post='2208413'] Yes, that's why coalitions exist(ed) amirite? Seriously, you can stop pretending. You were not there just for your friends. [/quote] When I saw this quoted, actually the second line was only quoted and searching back through the 30 pages I did find the source and it does seem it was taken out of context. But I definitely want to clarify this. The option to enter the war was put before the members. The only reason was to defend an ally that had come to our aid many times in the past and not just in war. We knew of the odds against us, we figured on the bandwagon parade, and we also knew it would be a long war. Our member voted over overwhelmingly to defend IRON. And even after the long war, there are none that complain about the decision, besides the ones that have chosen to leave TOOL. As for the Reps, we accepted them and we will pay them. But being what role precedence has on politics here on Planet Bob, the actions of MA and Nemesis, though they were outnumbered in their decision, cause me great concern. If the practice of demanding reps as the aggressive alliance continues then won't bandwagon-ing become a standard practice? Need some growth? Join in on the bandwagon of a larger alliance. Hopefully this fear is unfounded but it is something to consider.

[quote]So..TOOL can't pay these easily? What Mia, do you guys not have warchests or something? WHAT ARE YOU TELLING YOUR PEOPLE MIA DAMMIT[/quote] [quote]I'm sure Sparta is shaking in their diamond encrusted boots paid for by TOOL reps. [/quote] ................ Mama told if you aint got nothing to say......... let them say it for themselves.

[quote name='Zoomzoomzoom' date='27 February 2010 - 09:26 PM' timestamp='1267331405' post='2207488'] Thank you to RIA, LoSS, VE and LOUD for not pursuing monetary reparations. [/quote] Its been said before, but IRON we would gladly do it again. There's much love for you in our members, if you haven't heard about the vote to stand and defend you, you should ask. The reparations are pretty much as I expected them. Those with honor showed it. asaywer, Arkarian, Sam Winters and others you made it very fun. To bad that last nuke couldn't get thrown. Maybe we can get a variance. o/ TOOL o/ IRON o/ Peace OH I almost forgot D-Dolla............... ITs MaH COOOKIE. heh, but I'll share.

I didn't meet them until as of late but I would say that my VE opponents are the toughest and most polite out of the 7 alliances we are currently facing.

Wait what? oh yeah, hiyas. o/ TPF

Thanks for the nuke!!!!

Well, good to hear you all got peace. Good luck to you all in the rebuilding.

[quote name='Bryne Farrior' date='24 February 2010 - 03:01 AM' timestamp='1267005886' post='2201204'] Meh, I meant no mockery. I sincerely respect your alliance's conduct that has warranted this declaration. The aside was directed more at Castles above (I guess I was mocking him a little). [/quote] Well I figured that, but some of us don't throw up our hands in disgust when we get quad quaded (or quad staggered as the case may be, tonight's going to be fun) Decisions have to be made about making sure that if your going to give up money to ensure that it doesn't fall in the hands of those without WCs. I'm sure my four suicide missions didn't make much sense to you, but I had success before and after them. If there's any chance of completing at least one of my missions, it behooves me to do so. At the rate of last nights update, I'll be zi'd in 2 days. That doesn't give me much time to accomplish much, but, I plan to try. So again, welcome to the fight, lets have some fun.

Welcome VE. Lets have some fun. I must say, I'm damned proud as hell of TOOL 7 fronts now. That is excellent

Good luck to you.

o/ TOOL I'm showing my bias and its sexy.

[quote name='neneko' date='21 February 2010 - 10:20 PM' timestamp='1266816038' post='2196373'] I thought it was Racist remarks directed at people = War The math in this thread is getting worse and worse. [/quote] Its not the math that I'm asking about, I'm trying to understand the propaganda. Yes racist remarks = WAR But reacting to racist remarks and "Let's roll ________ " = overly paranoid unjustified aggressors. (At least according to the propaganda we've been hearing.) But statements coming from the same level of people Justifies the victim of such nasty aggressions Reps. So where does one draw the line? As I said I'm just trying to understand the propaganda. edit spelling

Alright so when this started TOP and friends were "overly paranoid" when they reacted to CNG's members repeatedly saying "we gonna/lets roll ________" but now those level of statements are to be taken seriously? I realize there's more to do with your mamma statements and all that. But I'm just trying to keep the propaganda straight here. Should peons stupid statements be taken seriously or not on IRC? edit for clarity

o/ Peace o/ Argent

Glad to hear round 9 was good, I'm a breaking my cherry on round 10. :I just came for the free booze.

[quote name='nippy' date='18 February 2010 - 03:13 AM' timestamp='1266488025' post='2189481'] It's us, we're the front. Let's see...that's five alliances we're at war with now? God, I'm going to lose count soon. [/quote] TOOLs got 6 (one aggressive) one more and you can drink at the sexy table

[quote name='Penlugue Solaris' date='17 February 2010 - 03:37 PM' timestamp='1266446239' post='2188154'] Again, how have they not been given sufficient time to finish this? I stated earlier a timeline, which no one has seen fit to show is untrue. Also, they are starting new deals according to Scorbolt. Should we allow them to do that? Of course not. [/quote] Should you allow them? How benevolent of you. East India is free to make their own choices, as it appears they wish to stay nuetral and not upset the crying. Which is best for them, but I'm quite sure that if MK decided to declare on them over this matter they would lose even more face. Not only that, I'm sure that now with this bully stance MK future tech deal requests will have less of a priority than other not so pretentious alliances. At least that would be how i approached it. Why deal tech with a alliance that if war breaks out will just insist on disruptting the operating budget? They've stated that they'll continue to deal tech with non involved parties. Limiting market share is defeating but why deal tech to the war mongers? Again just my opinion. But you skipped over the first question, was MK denied tech deals? Why should all of CN come to a stand still just because a few of the obsessed decide to muck up the playground?
