I'm baffled how some people cannot understand even the most basic principles of negotiation. Making an offer that the opponent is guaranteed not to accept is neither a joke offer nor a 100% serious offer. It is a negotiating step to expose the opponent's true colors. And it achieved exactly that. The opponent's true intentions were of course no surprise to anyone, nevertheless it is a good idea to have them known to everyone in a clearer fashion. I strongly recommend to stop approaching situations with a binary view, as that will prevent you from comprehending the full situation. But I assume everyone in this thread is actually aware of that and that people are merely posting a +1 to the OP in an attempt to gain propaganda points for the war.

Congrats on the treaty :)

This is acceptable.

Pingu is clearly Bob's best bartender.

Nah, we only passed this like 3 times :P

After a slight delay due to a run-off election for the last Senate seat we now have our full government lineup for term LVIII. Overlord Shinnra is returning for his second term as Secretary General. Also returning from the previous term is Zaxon as Secretary of Defense (don't even bother asking how many terms), Hawspiper1983 as Secretary of Interior, and NOMNOMNOM as Secretary of Economics (bad name puns will be punished by EZIT). The only new face this term is Walling, who is taking over as Secretary of State. In the Senate we have Stealthypenguin93, Peaches, and Nikolay coming back. Though the Senate's newest members OsRavan (who is this guy?) and Bucovina both have previous government experience. Secretary-General: Overlord Shinnra Assistant Secretary General: eZe Secretary of Defense: Zaxon Secretary of Interior: Hawspiper1983 Secretary of Economics: NOMNOMNOM Secretary of State: Walling Senate LVIII: OsRavan Stealthypenguin93 Peaches Nikolay Bucovina

Rest in peace, you will be missed. Condolences to his family.

Happy Birthday :)

ODN o/ And welcome to all the new guys in gov.

I think the statistics file is lagging a day behind in switching aid from "approved" to "expired". For example as of this post it switches here: 505792|Caladin|Kaitain|Pax Corvus|10087|Green|539198|Gaserlake|Aralia|Green Protection Agency|10041|Green|Approved|6000000|0|0|12/6/2013 12:05:16 AM|6(60)/200(0)|3544206| 294723|waycool|Thraxland|Siberian Tiger Alliance|10011|White|438717|Lammoth|Condatis|Siberian Tiger Alliance|10011|White|Expired|6000000|0|0|12/5/2013 11:52:22 PM|6/100|3544203| Meaning the 12/6 foreign aid is not expired, but the 12/5 is. However in-game the foreign aid of 12/6 is already expired.

If that constitutes a wall of text to you, then I've got some bad news ;)

Those are some nice orange balloons. It would be a shame if something happened to them. Happy Birthday :)

Not sure why we're being discussed in this thread, but did you seriously believe that we wouldn't be piled on regardless of where we entered? We knew what to expect, welcomed all our enemies to the battlefield in good spirits, and never complained about it. We've had fun with all our enemies so far, and in the end I hope TLR and IRON can say the same. All the politics aside, have a good fight you two.

So your argument is that because TLR in your opinion didn't chose the optimal strategy to defend NG it's ok to just attack whoever is defending your ally?

Are you even listening to yourself right now? You can repeat it as many times as you want, but TLR honored their MD with NG (and is getting pummeled for doing so) while IRON did not. Seriously, how hard is it to not attack you ally's ally or someone actually defending your ally?

They're allies of allies. Plus we're kinda busy because we have a dogpile on us again ;)

Attacking someone that is defending your ally? Not even sure what to say to that.

We're simply irresistible.

Have fun out there :) TLR o/

Sorry to disappoint, but Miley is merely our meatshield ;)

So I'm already responsible for 2 DoW themes this war. Lets see if I can do the third.
