[quote name='Raider' timestamp='1284472681' post='2453522'] *Claps* You'd make an good GOON blinds. [/quote] No he wouldn't he has a life

[quote name='Heinlander' timestamp='1284390638' post='2452299'] ktarthan is a GOONS hero. He's been abstaining from this because he's too busy basking in the adoration we shower him with. [/quote] That says everything. Your hero is someone who managed to start a war with 8 rogue nations. Good to see how low your self esteem is.

[quote name='Hadrian' timestamp='1284305198' post='2450962'] Why not? Rising up and fighting in the face of insurmountable odds seems like a pretty awesome thing to do, to me. Are you seriously trying to say what people should and shouldn't do in this [ooc]game[/ooc] now? [/quote] From what I have seen the goonS need to ensure they have all the odds stacked in their favour and are so scared of 8 rogues they feel the need to request sanctions.

[quote name='Beefspari' timestamp='1284026342' post='2447503'] You know, kirby is taking it like a man (he should join GOONS). All you do is whine. I wasn't showing that to brag about beating kirby, it's just pretty cool that he got 7 nuke whiffs in a row (the odds of that happening on any given day are less than 3%). Man up; you're going to lose no matter what we do. You should at least enjoy it rather than complaining. You're supposed to be going out in a blaze of glory. kirby seems to be having fun at least. [/quote] You know I' not bothered that I'm going to lose. That seems to be something you really can't get a grip on. This is a [b]game[/b], I'm playing it my way and enjoying every single successful Nuke hit.

[quote name='Locke' timestamp='1284025181' post='2447498'] You [i]do[/i] realize they would have beaten you into a bloody pulp, sanctions and allies or not, right? No point in paying $25 for a 25c pack of gum. [/quote] Maybe, but that only stregthens the argument that they were weak because they used sanctions, which affected more nations than just us. IF they hadn't used sanctions then it would have been a straight fight, which seems to be something the goons are unable to contemplate

[quote name='Whyohwhy' timestamp='1284024935' post='2447495'] You cant beat deeper pockets and longer game time. But that was always a given. If the goons had gone for a straight fight without resorting to sanctions then they wouldn't have looked so weak. [/quote] And now BEefspari is gloating because TKF is running out of nukes The sadness of it all

[quote name='Locke' timestamp='1284023631' post='2447488'] And yet: You can't change that fact. [/quote] You cant beat deeper pockets and longer game time. But that was always a given. If the goons had gone for a straight fight without resorting to sanctions then they wouldn't have looked so weak.

[quote name='Beefspari' timestamp='1284017373' post='2447464'] I'm glad I talked I M Tpl into joining in. [img]http://meru.xfury.net/images/8nukes.gif[/img] Those nukes are really disappearing fast. [/quote] You know at the end of the day you can spout off all you like. It just shows how sad your alliance is when you have to worry about an 8 man alliance I think the use of sanctions was your lowest point. Its laughable really, you say we are only 8 rogues yet you feel the need to impose sanctions that not only affected us but all the other black teasm members that were in the trade circles All that to defeat an 8 man alliance

[quote name='Beefspari' timestamp='1283890346' post='2445635'] There's a whole lot of SDI whiffing going on. With the low warchests and lack of WRCs and spies, I'm not sure if they're going to blitz them on the SDIs and lose most of them, or conserve them to nuke only non-SDI nations (and lose most of them through spies). You guys sure talk a lot for people who supposedly don't care. I kind of wonder how long you can use that line before people stop believing it. [/quote] You know what, I enjoy this game. I don't like all of the players, and I definately wont be voting for a certain senator any more, but the game has become more interesting and enlightening to see how 8 "rogues" who will come what may support each others nation through this can expose the weakness' of some larger alliances. It is sad to see that even though the Goons have admitted launching the first nuke against the only nation in our Alliance that wasn't equipped with nukes. 7 of us could have fought back, but we helped the non nuke nation get his own nukes and then retaliated. Perhaps we should be seeking compensation for the damage to our Nations by the Rogue Goon who fired the first nuke. And if he can't pay the maybe his alliance comrades will stick by him and contribute

[quote name='Beefspari' timestamp='1283869458' post='2445276'] Wait, you're saying he actually did buy 1800 tech? And you're insulting Xavii at the same time? [/quote] OK first my posting did not insult anyone. It questioned the wisdom of a leading player and Senator decrying the method a far less experienced player has got to where he is in the game. It isn't the best way to gain tech, but he still got it, paid for it and is standing behind his comrades in his alliance. By all means express surprise at how he attained it, but also should we not question how that information was gained. I see alot of words demeaning the Goons, but no action.

[quote name='Xavii' timestamp='1283868714' post='2445262'] My sources say that blindswellrat has never had a buying tech deal, meaning he bought ~1800 tech in game. Seems your facing true masters of CN here GOONS. [/quote] Remarkable post from a senator, what relevance is it how he got his tech. Finding reliable tech sellers is diffcult at best as I am sure most experienced players will agree.

[quote name='USMC123' timestamp='1283861984' post='2445189'] Man, you guys really need to stop making these threads. Read the rules. If you get warned 5 times, you get banned. That's all I'm saying. [/quote] OK hear what you say, however when a 300 strong alliance starts by requesting sanctions on an 8 man band of "rogues" after nuking the weakest member of the "rogues" you have to wonder why. If I was in an alliance that strong I would just sort it and blow them out of the water, not run to the "governing body" and request sanctions on their trading. I mean are we really a threat? Everyone says not, and yet there are those who seem to feel threatened.

[quote name='ChairmanHal' timestamp='1283860988' post='2445179'] It appears that the first two nukes were fired by GOONS. So I think we can pretty much rule out GOONS members coming into this thread and claiming they were provoked by a UOKMB first strike or that the first nuke was an "accident" and not government sanctioned. [/quote] Does that make a difference then, because from what I have read in the locked thread 8 people working together in a structured organised way doesn't constitute an alliance. Will their cowardly act mean that sanctions are applied to the Goonies, or are they too far up the senators backside?
