There were exactly two other alliances that attacked SNX with no proper CB and no official ties to Polar.
One of them was Apocalypse Meow.
But you didn't hit them because they had much stronger and numerous allies than Kashmir.
Lmao
Polar and Company had nothing but Terminator's triggered little sad eyes as a CB and you didn't back your allies. Call it what you wanna call it...
Your cowardice is showing-
Holy contact lenses, Batman
A lot of people are saying, this is the next generation of virus transfer. So next time your SO wants to go toe-to-toe, er, eyeball-to-eyeball, ask yourself:
HAVE I HAD MY SHOTS?

a) The offer was at the fair rate of 6/200, leaving you with solid profits from each deal.
b) that's stupid. We tried it before, see how it worked out? Also even now, we aren't doing tech deals, yet we are communicating anyway and the resentment is staying high from what I can tell.
Yall didn't care about meaningful peace. Get outta here with that !@#$ xD
"We got our peace, and we didn't have to pay you with anything other thans words. I'm good with that."
Well, nothing but your words and good chunk of your coalition's members and warchests that you lost from holding out. I'm good with that too. Which is why I'd be leaving you alone if you weren't posting !@#$ about us. Post some more tho, continue to foster those bad relations.
That "goodwill tech dealing" you guys had in mind would have increased your rate of tech growth by 25%, and increased by 50% our time to get a given dollar amount into our nations, relative to the customary 6(9)/100 which we are quite happy to maintain amongst ourselves, thank you very much. The "solid profits" would have redounded to your side in the form of rapacious and punitive "commerce," which if it were a good move economically we'd be doing already.
That word, stupid, I don't think it means what you think it means. The very reason we continue this communication is that you guys are trying to ret-con a rationale for what you did, why you did it, and how smart it was.
Since you continue litigating post-war, we will continue to make change at the window of our Military-Industrial Complex, presuming that at some point a grain of reason may take hold.
It was precisely in the interest of meaningful peace that we continued to prosecute meaningful war. Pixels can be respawned, and if you're not willing to expend them to stay on the right side of history, what's the point of having them, anyway?

Goodwill tech deals.
lol.
No, no, they were seriously couching this in terms of engendering post-war goodwill.
6/200, mighta been 6/300, can't remember. But really it's a question of degree, both of them 'orrible.

White peace isn't an alternative term by its definition.
Johnny didn't say it was an alternative term, merely that white peace was offered as an alternative to the "goodwill" tech deals once pushed by your side.

Just stopping in to add that the word is spelled PYRRHIC

NG as an alliance disbanded last year, essentially alleviating ownership of everything NG related. In any case I am merely playing along with you all that the FTW and NG flag are the same. Furthermore the FTW use of the yin yang is far superior to NGs use of it.
So they didn't steal it because ownership had expired....
But they're not the same anyway...........
But the FTW version is better than the NG one......

GK,
It's luck that Occulus entered when they did. Now y'all can blame my dead fish wars on something other than the dead fish.
Here's a fun graphic showing how things were going, toward the end there:

Skynet Issues Recall code - Malfunctioning T-1000 successfully extracted:
Since the reformation of Non Grata, many people directly or indirectly involved with their crusade will have come across the absolute braincrash of a leader known as "Terminator". The leader in question began as one of the many recruits for Non Grata with their war against the Freehold (more on that later) and began gloating and emitting the phrase "reeeee" and "tard" at anyone who happened to stray in front of his stream of verbal diarrhea. Initially it seemed he would be a good fit and a valiant crusader for the forces of Non Grata- until of course an actual threat began to emerge.

Johnny,
I'm always entertained, though I think your assessment of our fighting capabilities is lacking. Outside a few targets (shout out to RV this round) I'm growing bored trying to find a partner in the bloodbath.
I'm eager to hear the amswer to these questions though.
Sincerely,
Joseph M. Black
My dear Joseph, here are some amswers:
which translates to: 
And this one I couldn't have put better myself:

I submit to you that my usage is more accurate than you surmise. Self-deprecating would imply I'm expressing disapproval. I am not.
Derogatory means critical and disrespectful.. which I am.. but not out of disapproval. Whose usage is accurate?
Lysergide has vocabulary envy.That word, self-deprecating, I don't think it means what you think it means.
And whereas derogatory does indeed mean critical and disrespectful, it's not a word that's used in a construction with "self-".

I am making dual use of the phrase.. I'm somewhat subtly implying in self-derogative humor that those of us in power are a bunch of pricks. Truly, that term has so many meanings that.. the usage above leaves open for many interesting interpretations.Pardon me kindly, I from another planet am and neither of the light-highed wordings in your post matches my humble understand of the Englisch.
What does may "self-derogative" mean? I once near the rings of Saturn saw a radio wave go by which carried wording such like "Self-deprecating" and "derogatory," and thusly wonder I whether maybe some phoneme-sound pieces crashed together, hmm?
Nextly I am sure my off-world diction and grammar match not those of yourselv, but mightily do I struggle to discern (my new wording this fine day!) the full meaning of your final phrase. I see the subject, verb, and a predicate phrase, but think do I that there is a missing word or few. Precifically, what does the usage leave open? On Jupiter such a construction (although expressed telepathically) would contain either: a reflexive "itself", in which case the preposition "for" might humbly respeak as "to;" or an alternate optional noun between the adjective "open" and self-said above preposition "for." But you know those Jovians, they are so jovial and hard to pin down!

I'm curious, who came up with the intentionally boring and uninspired alliance name 'The Phoenix Collective' for his new hidey hole?
Maybe "The Short Bus" was taken?

I can't pretend to know much about who 'we' were fighting against or even with for that matter - there was a reason I abdicated and went inactive, after all! - but reading the first and last page of this thread - which is about all the motivation I can muster at this point - has me missing Kashmir, COBRA, and SRA.
Hi guys!

Oof. I'm usually good for a donut anytime, but today I think I will pass.

Indeed, I feel everything was adequately covered in the OP. I'm not looking to perpetuate the grudges of old.
Also agreed, old is old, or auld, according to your time zone.

@Johnny @ Lex, you can rant all you want, I'm not going to follow you in that direction, we've just won the war (see the first post in this thread if you need clarifications), so I don't need to prove anything anymore. All you can convince me of is that you truly deserve the medal of 'Masters of Empty Words' or something. Truth is your alliances were brought to the point of irrelevance, and it will literally take years for you to recover (if ever). If that's what you were after, congratulations! 😛
Oh, I wasn't ranting, that's a whole different critter usually reserved for use of VAR and the Oxford comma.
You apparently don't have any idea how much the final version of the announcement in the OP has to do precisely with the degree to which you've "won the war," as well as the degree to which our alliances "were brought to the point of irrelevance." The clarifications are yours to find, sir.
No argument from me that you don't need to prove anything anymore.
Bob has changed, and so too will our nations and their stats. It's not about recovering 150k NS, it's about having the sharpest teeth in the wading pool. You've done a great job as Weight-Watchers, so thanks for that.

The COBRALITION had a strategic plan right from the start, and that was to get in the range of our smallest and (apparently) least endowed/prepared/experienced nations as soon as possible, and crush us there, thus winning the war. They didn't spare any trick for that end, from false allegations, to (more or less skilful) infiltrations. It didn't work. It could have worked, had our internal organization been less than exquisite, or our level of overall activity less than exemplary. When it started to become obvious that they couldn't win, they started focusing on the propaganda, and won (or so they claim) the meme war. So be it. I'd rather win the field war and lose on the meme front at any time, if that's what it takes! Would you?
Proud to be part of my alliance and this coalition! And many thanks to our opponents for the nice past few months, and for unleashing and testing the best of us!
Hail FTW!
Hail RFI!

Whaat?!?!?
See above
That word, CyberNations, I don't think it means what you think it means
I am reminded of the following:
"You know you never defeated us on the battlefield," said the American colonel.
The North Vietnamese colonel pondered this remark a moment.
"That may be so," he replied, "but it is also irrelevant." *
It got to the point, in this war, that I was reluctant to stop fighting due to the negative effect it was going to have on my cash flow. I was making more from your and others' ground forces than regular collections at my level of "infra" would have allowed.
*which word, in turn, reminds me of the following apropos-of-nothing blast from the past:
-
They say a picture's worth a thousand words, and I can think of no better example than comparing Cobralition sigs in the OP to those of RFI.
Stoppage time awaits, then on to racking up that cheap, cheap infra.
Remind me, it's always collect with LCs, never collect with Banks, and dump Factories before you pump, right?
