  1. People have been spoiled too much with white peace that they take it for granted. And rivers of tears start running as soon as someone has a different idea. My god. 

     

     

     

    This, again, is poor framing.  We’re not being “punished for peace mode usage”.  Our conduct during this war has nothing to do with why we’re being targeted.  Punishing NPO was on the agenda of the Polar coalition from the beginning, and the intention to see NPO wounded existed before the form of the terms took shape.  It is, as Dajobo says, the reason people in his coalition agreed to help Polar.  Yes, Dajobo devised this specific form of terms – but it was in response to his coalition’s demands that there be terms.

     

    We came in to this war in defense of an ally, on what we knew was going to be the losing side.  We’ve taken more damage than anyone else.  Our conduct during this war is not why we’re being targeted, and rationalizing the terms in that context is deceitful.

     

    That being said, I don’t think the Polar coalition has what it takes to get what they’re demanding.  I see Alyster’s “We want out “ sig.  I think the Polar coalition wants out way worse than we do, given how much you all complain that we won’t just hand over the victory you seem to think you’ve earned.  Everyone on our side came in knowing it was going to be the losing side.  Finding ourselves losing isn’t making us look for the exits.

     

    Do you have a spy in NpO that you make claims about their intentions. As an ally of Polar I was not aware before the war that they'd have such plans. So mind sharing what you have?

     

    PS. I always thought it was you in the uncle sam's costume :)

  2.  

    Yeah, it doesn’t take much thinking about my alliance.  The message for weeks has been that NPO is prolonging the war by not allowing itself to be isolated.  The word was terms were coming, but the TOP side couldn’t decide/agree what to ask for.  Y’all came up with the current “unofficial” terms, which are kind of cute/novel in the way they’re topical to the circumstances, but are completely incidental to the already existing intention to demand terms on NPO.  And now the message seems to be that Polar has met its goals, but needs to keep the war going to respect the objectives of its coalition mates, and can’t dictate to its coalition when it’s time to call it quits.

     

    All I’m saying is that this all seems more pertinent to the status of peace talks than the purpose of banks.

     

     

    Is that's what the Wall of Text with the Farrin's imperial seal in the Body Republic's subforum said? The one that got 4 pages of hailing and no real discussion?

  3. The whole debate about banks is ridiculous.  The Polar side has intended to extract terms on NPO from the very beginning - which is why they've been complaining the whole time that our allies wouldn't peace out and allow us to be isolated.  The circumstances with our banks has given them something specific to demand, because they didn't otherwise know what it was they would ask for.  But they haven't decided at the end to demand terms because of our egregious conduct with banks.  They knew they were going to demand something, and this is what the circumstances have delivered.

     

    You're cute. 

  4. /me rolls his eyes.

     

    If banks were as useless as you claimed they are, nobody would be gunning for NPO's !@#$%* banks in the first place.

     

    Think this is like the third or fourth war in my time in CN where a coalition has gone with KILL PACIFICA'S BANKS OR ELSE...

     

    /me yawns.

     

    Let us know when the OR ELSE arrives.

     

    Some of these so called banks have imported up to 1700 tech per month prior to the war. While you're free to label your nations as you like, you may even call them Hippy Gods for all I care,  other people are also free to do their assessments of current situations as they like. 

     

    Bottom line is nations are nations. If you use them to import tech, collect pixels then it doesn't really matter what you call them internally. For others they remain a potential threat. And as you've so kindly declared war on TOP for second global war in a row, you've made that our business. And for the second global war in a row we don't get to fight them. 

     

    But we're also kind and innovative. No one has demaned reps from you, nor extended war. And Farrin has been told that. In fact they haven't demanded anything from you.

    razzie_normal.jpgWorst Block of the Year: Doomhouse
    The glorious and feared Doomhouse Accords suffered a fatal hit this year. First the largest member of the bloc decided to withdraw which followed by a losing war and disbandment by Mushroom Kingdom effectively killing the bloc. Doomhouse, this year you brought doom to yourself, you've been voted as the Worst Block of the Year.

    razzie_normal.jpgAlliance Most Likely To Fail in 2014: IRON
    As you've been voted to be the worst alliance of the year and the worst diplomatic team this award doesn't really come as a surprise. Anxiously waiting for NG-IRON war.

    razzie_normal.jpgWorst Leader of the Year: Brehon
    Dear Brehon, I hope Lord Valleo still keeps you updated of things. Just once more I'd like to extend the gratitude of Order of the Paradox to you for your awesome job in EQ war. The current war would have never been possible with out you. And as the numbers say, the rest of the Planet Bob thinks more or less in the same line.

    I don't know if you're aware, but Nas has been sitting outside my bedroom window for the better part of the last year, waiting for me. He'd regularly climb up the tree in our yard and through my window. We'd sit there braiding each other's hair, talking about boys, gossiping and giggling about R&R 'n Invicta...

     

    ... and so I know for as much as you want to get in some sort of dig, you're exactly the same.

     

    I understand that 99.9% of CN will look at me awkward now, but... are you one of the twins? , 

  7.  

    I, for one, fully hope to take advantage of UPN and HB's tech farms to rebuild what I've lost from TOP and MI6.

     

    I, for one, will be the person to break it to you. UPN puts out 0.904 damage per every damage taken, HB 0.979 while RnR does 0.684 damage per every damage taken.

     

    All odds are that these DoWs were intended to get UPN and HB above 1.0

    It couldn't be obvious because that picture was chosen randomly and just happened to have a fourth person in the picture, so I threw question marks on it because we don't have a fourth person.

     

    So if some random asshats drew conclusions from that picture, I have to laugh, because it was an 8 second search for a three musketeers picture with absolutely no meaning behind the question marks and fourth person :|

     

    You're funny. 

     

    I'm sorry they bailed on you, but did you expect any better?
