  1. Well you're already stronger than SF so at least you've got that going for you.
  2. [quote name='EgoFreaky' timestamp='1330302927' post='2928880'] Damn.. we've had this exact policy for years.. If I had known it would piss of MK to this extend I would have announced it on the OWF Common sense? You make a deal with an alliance, the alliance ensures it's paid up. You try to avoid the hassle and make deals on your own, you have to get your tech yourself and the alliance does not guarantee delivery. Looks like common sense to me. [/quote] The common-sense solution is to put the whole "white list" "black list" "official" "unofficial" "refundable" "nonrefundable" business on your own membership, which understands your alliance and its procedures, and to adhere to standard practices when it comes to foreign relations (taking action if your member runs away with somebody's money). As a tech seller, when you accept that aid, you agree to send tech in return. If you take that money, you're taking the responsibility that comes with it. If you don't follow through on that, your alliance should just send the tech for you and consider it an opportunity to: 1) Keep amicable relations with the alliance the buyer is from, which has just sent an aid offer that would have benefited your alliance 2) Identify and help educate some of your members who may not be very familiar with tech deals 3) Identify 'problem members' and 'aid thieves' at minimal cost to you All at a low cost of only 100 tech... OR, you can go this route, insinuate that your membership is too stupid to understand a tech deal, refuse to force accountability on your membership, create needless and unnecessary paperwork and applications, and essentially 'black list' people who would be sending your younger members money that they badly need. You end up getting ridiculed for it (and rightly so), and eventually somebody might test it and end up either exposing your lack of a spine or destroying you and your allies. All to save 100 tech... [quote]Even bothering to reply to the likes of Penkala hints at a much bigger underlying issue. [/quote] Good argument, man. Now who are you, again? And what have you ever accomplished?
  3. [quote name='Garion' timestamp='1330299082' post='2928845'] Honestly... [img]http://i.imgur.com/KXf4A.png[/img] They could have avoided all this ruckus by deciding to avoid UE as dealers... Simply that. They instead decided to make a mess of this issue. [/quote] Or, you know, UE could use common sense. Which is the easier and better solution here?
  4. "The reasons for the cancellation have been conveyed to Polaris and will remain between the Siberian Tiger Alliance and the New Polar Order." How convenient. Isn't Pezstar usually the one to show up in a thread like this and drop logs as to the reason of the cancellation? Whatever happened to that whole "transparency" thing? Regardless, you and Polar are both terrible, and it's sad that I won't be guaranteed a chance to watch you burn again when Polaris inevitably makes another stupid decision.
  5. I have a better idea. Tell your own !@#$@#$ members to not accept unsolicited aid from non-whitelisted parties. Tell them that if they do, it's on them to fulfill the tech deal. If they don't, pay the 100 tech for them and kick them out (or punish them however you see fit). Total cost to you in the worst case scenario is 100 tech. The way you're going about this now just makes you look like a terrible alliance that can't control its members.
  6. It's pretty hilarious to see STA crying about this when Polar did way worse back in its heyday. Deal with it.
  7. [quote name='Balder' timestamp='1327854754' post='2909475'] I'm sorry but this is either the worst attempt at humor that I've had the misfortune of reading in a while or you're just woefully ignorant of Planet Bob. Neither would surprise me honestly. [/quote] He honestly isn't very important. Like at all. I'm fairly sure I may have more political pull than he does right now.
  8. [quote name='Dajobo' timestamp='1327620537' post='2907668'] I remember once when we were allied to an alliance named Ragnarok. So much pride and honour... What ever happened to that alliance? This new one with the same name is certainly nothing like them! [/quote] You will never, ever have credibility making statements like this while wearing that AA. Go away.
  9. [quote name='BloodFury' timestamp='1327561096' post='2907182'] Good move Ragnarok. I look forward to the future good moves you have planned. [/quote] You could at least read the post. It's only three sentences. Fark canceled the treaty, not Ragnarok, so this wasn't a "move" by RoK. I, too, eagerly await more inaction from Ragnarok!
  10. Welcome back or something.

  11. There are a handful of people that I've met in this game that I would ever consider meeting. And the vast majority of them have quit by now. I'd be embarrassed to be associated with any of the rest of you.
  12. Sad to see. NV was a damn good alliance and I enjoyed my stay there (although it was too short). Peace out, guys.
  13. [quote name='Alterego' timestamp='1314344000' post='2788669'] This thread was worth it just to see penklola cry his little eyes out [/quote] This is my crying face. [quote]Looks like Methrage has sparked off the wrong war this time. [/quote] Probably. He'd be smart to just end this war now and pay for the damages he's caused. But he's not a very smart guy.
