Nice to see this o/Hooligans o/Athens

[quote name='magicninja' timestamp='1295662274' post='2590291'] GATO was interested in Brown Unity so much so in fact that we were not willing to sign anything that would leave anyone on brown out. Silence was pretty adamant about not getting involved with anything that had NSO's name on it. So what we tried to do is sign something with each brown alliance individually. At the time of Bi-Polar we were ready to give up on that position and join TC. However that war changed everything between us and TC as a whole considering how everything hashed out. Even after everything that happened including the cancellation of our treaty with NSO we were still willing to work together on things that could possibly improve the situation on brown. Namely the brown team trade partner AA. Things just didn't work out. It happens and I wish you guys the best of luck. [/quote] This is pretty much it.

[quote name='Rebel Virginia' timestamp='1295673626' post='2590977'] [color="#0000FF"]GATO, you would have been smarter to have attacked Hydra or SLCB. Then again, I never did credit you with a whole lot of smarts.[/color] [/quote] Lol, you're sort of missing the point here

[quote name='El Hefe' timestamp='1295589861' post='2588547'] edit: I definitely understand things wrong when I try to be snarky -.- Can't say I'm happy to see you rollin against my ally, and my desire to fix the spanglish in your post is overwhelming... [/quote] Cats can't spell

Good luck, have fun

Lets do eeeet

[quote name='Chief Savage Man' timestamp='1295475731' post='2584318'] newsflash: announcements aren't always 100% honest [/quote] So basically you're saying a "no u" on the announcement. You [i]know[/i] what we will do, and if you're wrong well "good for us". Ok.

[quote name='Chief Savage Man' timestamp='1295474869' post='2584302'] They'll put forth minimum effort on every side so they can commit to the one that ends up winning and still come out 'honorable'. [/quote] Seeee, now you do find this announcement worthy to discuss, considering that is quite something you said there "minimum effort on every side so they can commit to the one that ends up winning and still come out 'honorable'." Where did you read that? Did we not tell you that we don't really care about either "side", considering we're not picking any sides other than our allies? Tell me how can we commit to one side, when this announcement is exactly the opposite?

[quote name='Ragashingo' timestamp='1295474430' post='2584294'] Meh. An alliance defending their allies on every side is kinda rare isn't it? Usually they pick one side in favor of the other or go neutral. So this announcement has some significance. I shudder to imagine what you whiners would say if GATO carried out this policy WITHOUT telling you. [/quote] Precisely my thoughts.

[quote name='Chief Savage Man' timestamp='1295473732' post='2584281'] The funniest part about this is that GATO saying they'll honor treaties actually is worthy of an announcement. [/quote] Yeah, because everyone knew we were going to be fighting on both sides of the war if we had too. All those questioning our actions in this thread are mad. Well...you do have a point there. [quote name='foxfire99' timestamp='1295474259' post='2584288'] So is this a new expression of democracy where all your members get to choose which ally to support? That might turn out pretty interesting. [/quote] Sorry, what do you mean?

[quote name='TypoNinja' timestamp='1295473268' post='2584273'] Neither one disbanded true, but if that was the only measure of success GATO and GPA would rule the world. [/quote] Didn't you get the memo

[quote name='Feanor Noldorin' timestamp='1295457428' post='2584013'] Let's say IAA is countered by alliance X. You uphold your MDP and attack X. Let's say that two days later Athens enters into the conflict and is attacked by alliance Y. How are you going to help Athens if your forces are focused on X? Your problem is compounded even more if ODN enters and is hit by someone. Are you going to help them too? [/quote] [quote name='Arsenal']On behalf of the Global Alliance and Treaty Organization, I hereby affirm that we will honour [i]all[/i] of our defensive obligations as so requested, regardless of their position on the battlefield.[/quote]

[quote name='ChairmanHal' timestamp='1295452659' post='2583924'] I couldn't help but notice that you have a treaty with IAA. I just hope that when the time comes, you'll take action. Sorry, ODN gave rather similar speeches once upon a time and when the shooting stopped, they always seemed to have a full magazine, usually because at some point they came back to the OWF during the war and cited "conflicting treaties mumble, mumble, mumble...". Of course ODN now plays spear carrier, so I'm sure we'll see them in this fight eventually. [/quote] Yeah, that's exactly why we posted this. Because we weren't aware our allies were going in this war. We made this announcement just for fun, we don't intend on following it through.

[quote name='Alterego' timestamp='1295449820' post='2583873'] Just your actions or lack of actions. I dont dislike your alliance. [/quote] You mean our past actions? Whichever those might be, that's ok, I expect you've made that clear back then when we did them. If you mean our current actions, you've just said that all that talk about "neck saving" and "staying out" was backed simply by the fact it's a GATO announcement and nothing else. Which makes you immediately prejudiced. If you got anything concrete against what we're doing now, by all means share why.

[quote name='Alterego' timestamp='1295449543' post='2583869'] The subject influences my comments. [/quote] Good to know there's nothing backing your comments except your irrational dislike of our alliance. edit: [quote name='Alterego' timestamp='1295449543' post='2583869'] How about you lend them your spy operations then try to delete yourself from the history of the war. [/quote] Spy operations are part of the package.

[quote name='ChairmanHal' timestamp='1295447119' post='2583828'] Ok GATO, you are going to keep all your treaties... ...so far there have been two war decs, both raids unrelated to the current major hostilities. Nice job keeping your treaties. [/quote] What are you talking about?

[quote name='Instr' timestamp='1295440081' post='2583734'] So, GATO, my suggestion to you is that you declare on yourself and be done with it. That way, no one can complain about you not honoring your treaty obligations, and you can properly control the flow of battle as you'd like. It'll be a fun way to participate in this global war and all of your members will have fond memories of destroying each other. [/quote] Genius! [quote name='Alterego' timestamp='1295437858' post='2583692'] How can it be an act of aggression when it was a set up? Same old [s]UPN [/s]GATO [/quote] [quote name='Alterego' timestamp='1295440370' post='2583739'] No not everything just this one. Its either a manufactured CB or it was a genuine one. If it was manufactured then VE is the aggressor if not then Polar was the aggressor. Trying to muddy the water is a way to save their neck or a way to make it appear they are unable to act. The truth is they are intentionally trying to find a way out and not for the 1st time I believe. [/quote] Quite frankly it doesn't matter. We've just told you we consider both sides to have acted stupidly and irrationally and that we don't care either way. We've just told you that we'll be defending all our allies hit in this war, irrespective of side, considering it's them to whom we owe our help and without whom we wouldn't even be involved in this rubbish. So now I ask [i]you, [/i]kindly tell us how on earth do you figure out us trying to save our necks? Finding a way out? When this announcement is just the opposite. But eh don't bother. I guess sometimes you just can't help spewing garbage.

You the man, Lennox.

You have pretty flag.

[quote name='lordliam' timestamp='1295422413' post='2583473'] yea, I was really disapointed when Oranje lost too. So close, yet so far. oh right. Yes. o/ GATO! [/quote] Heh, if it wasn't Ghana then at least it was Spain. On topic, o/ GATO etc
