  1. The Order Of Light. New Sith Order. Federation of Armed Nations. The Sasori Initiative. The German Empire. Grämlins. Many that I would name are allied to Nueva Vida. And I will break a rule and say that I have deep respect for the Order of the Black Rose, and I always have.
  2. While provoked by immaturity on the part of TheBigBad, a pissing contest gives you little sway in an argument. "When a wise man argues with a fool, it is difficult to tell who is the fool."
  3. I thank you for being honourable, my good Shurukian. I wish it didn't have to be.
  4. The alliance leaders represent the alliance. If they make a mistake, the alliance bears the burden. Conversely, if they do well, the alliance reaps the benefits.
  5. I suppose what he means is that the membership decides whether or not the act constitutes as a necessary treaty activation; for instance, a vote to decide whether TPF broke the terms of the agreement or some such thing. Just as alliance leaders decide whether or not to uphold a treaty.
  6. I'm basing on the fact that if TPF's allies come to their aid, they will technically be the "aggressors" against the alliances that they attack, and will therefore likely be forced to pay reparations.
  7. So you're saying that, because it had been in planning for a long time, it's not spying? Apparently not, judging by the fact that ZH attempted to fulfill the goals of the "discussion."
  8. And this is the "I don't give a rat's what anyone else thinks of us" approach, as mentioned in the OP.
  9. I'm glad I could add to your postcount. Also, you seem to be heavily invested in the word legit. I'm not sure whether or not you actually read the post, but you hit the nail on the head. Legitimate allies defend their friends, instead of backing down when times get rough. Fair weather friends are no friends at all.
  10. Ragnarok declares war on The Phoenix Federation. Two dawns of Planet Bob have passed and not a single ally has declared war in support of The Phoenix Federation. This disturbs me on a personal level, but I digress; this is not about morality, nor is it about my personal opinion on whether they should or should not declare war. Allies of The Phoenix Federation, as I see it, you have three options. Let us break them down for the moment. Option number 1 is to remain silent throughout the remainder of the war, and allow your allies, your friends, to be beaten into oblivion. Option number 2 is to declare war on those attacking The Phoenix Federation. This would likely end up in a loss as far as battlefield victory. Option number 3 is to publicly denounce the actions of The Phoenix Federation, and leave them to be "reprimanded" by society at large for what they have done. I foresee the results of each as follows: Option number 1 would result in the worst possible outcome. Not only did you not support your allies, you remained silent. You gave no reasons, you simply sat back and let them get beaten because your allegiance to them was not worth a possible loss. Option number 2 would incur heavy, heavy battlefield losses, very likely involve large amounts of reparations to be paid, and overall would be incredibly devastating to your nations. Option number 3 would not be quite as bad as option 1. You would save the loss to your nations, while still somewhat saving face. However, what many of you seem to fail to realize is that this is horrible for your public image. While many of you will take the arrogant "I don't give a rat's about my public image, if you don't like me go screw yourself" approach, this is extraordinarily, frankly, stupid. If your public image is damaged, this prevents you from gaining possible allies in the future, and leaves you politically isolated. In the long run, this option is much worse. In the future, you will be known as cowards, and everyone will remember you for backing down instead of supporting your allies. If you sacrifice yourselves now, others will sacrifice themselves for you in the future. And if not, you will be publicly ridiculed and hated, you will not be trusted, and your allies will leave with a cold, bitter (and rather bloody) taste in their mouths. The choice is yours: honour, loyalty, allegiance, and friendship; or cowardice, selfishness (which, ironically, is worse for you), and damage to your reputation. That being said, I do not support The Phoenix Federation's actions. However, if Nueva Vida was allied to The Phoenix Federation you could be damn sure I would be pressing for us to defend our allies.
  11. What's that on the floor? Oh dear, I believe it's your spine...
  12. So first you denounce the great and powerful Schattenman along with his alliance, and then proceed to horribly misspell the word "psyche," which many often spell as "sike," which bothers me, but not as badly as your atrocious attempt. On another note, not having been around for the Karma war I did not realize that was where this was from. As it is, I would hope that these alliances would be as honourable now as they were then and defend their allies. Before I realized it was from the Karma war, I would have said that, while I disagree with their side, I would find it honourable for them to follow through with these plans.
  13. As a member of Nueva Vida, I believe it is a lie. At least, I hope it is. If not, that means we really need to be more informed about our protectorates. But this doesn't seem the type of protectorate we'd sign; a one man "alliance" with absolutely no idea what he's doing? Doubtful.
  14. Congratulations. Edited for sarcasm.
  15. They've always been the "in thing." If it doesn't interest you, you don't have to click the thread.
  16. You are welcome to come to Bad Harzburg whenever you please! You are quite the type of friend any citizen of the Harz would be pleased to have.
  17. If 1TF decided that they would like to engage in a one on one war, I would hope that Nueva Vida would respect their sovereignty and allow them to do so, if they so wished. If not, then I have mistaken the alliance that I have joined. I am not implying anything. I am stating that Fark has shown a blatant disregard for the Random Insanity Alliance's sovereignty.
  18. Ivan Moldavi, for obvious reasons. Doitzel, for his ability to stir public opinion. I am speaking in terms of true military talent; what one does on the battlefield is quite irrelevant. The pen is mightier than the sword, and he who has the power of support is victorious.
  19. I wonder how many times I can say the word "sovereignty" before anyone catches on.
  20. These treaties include the sovereignty of the signatory. If the signatories decide that they do not wish for their allies to come to their aid, their allies shall not come to their aid. RIA is a sovereign alliance, correct?
  21. What about cold November rain?
  22. It is curious how little respect Fark has for RIA's sovereignty.
  23. I try to imagine my In Character as calm and collected, and as one who acts in the manners of a military officer. Out of Character I sometimes act the same way, as I've seen that it is normally a good way to earn trust.
