I can't help but feel nothing will come from this for SBA, probably a result of your bitter and opportunistic OP detracting from any real sentiment, but I hope for the best all the same. Until the next time you raid SBA.

Well. I was pretty content to sit back and giggle like a schoolgirl at the to-and-fro as we got up to yet more wacky adventures, but something does intrigue me: [quote][13:07] <Derwood1[PC]> Caffine[Echelon], I have ordered the 3 raiders to stand down. When I saw the raids last night I went to the SBA wiki and it def has disbanded on the top and bottom of the page, we have screenshots. Sakura also has placed a 30 day raiding ban on the 3 raiders. I will also put SBA on our "do not raid" list.[/quote] What changed from the 1st March when you considered yourselves at fault, PC - obviously to respond in such a way is an admission of guilt, right? So if this issue is [i]not[/i] your mistake, I'm astonished to see you treating your members in such manner... human rights and what-not, why punish them, etc. If it [i]is[/i] your mistake, I'm astonished it took a week to finalise your stance: "Er... our bad. You're not getting reps though." +1 week "Still not getting reps - 'cause now it's your fault for being disorganised. " You've also had two prior incidents with SBA and they weren't on your "do not raid" list? Why weren't [i]you[/i] more organised? It's great your allies support you, but you don't sound credible in the slightest, especially with the "your fault for not keeping things in order" line... not that you need to sound credible, but it'd be nice if you were at least trying...

...I'm eager to see how this is resolved once we can sit down and talk without putting on a show. Cabaret night is next week, according to my calendar. I'm sorry this war didn't play out as you intended Sal, but (having been in a ridiculously similar position) there's not much you can do - learn from the experience, and just be grateful your alliance is safe (as I am), even if few others are. I look forward to the day when our two alliances may be allies again. ...and stick with FOK. Who knows, maybe you'll find some more friends.

Looks kinda purty... if you're into that kinda thing... Excuse me a moment.

...it is unfortunate that you have to enter this conflict and that our relationship has seemingly hit this trough, but you're a good alliance. It's an honour to fight with you at our side.

The last time I was at war with FOK it only lasted about 3 days, however much fun was had by all. Here's hoping this is a good'un, too. [quote name='Schattenmann' date='06 February 2010 - 07:36 AM' timestamp='1265405771' post='2162101'] Looks like Echelon asserted its right to violate surrender terms just in time to sign more surrender terms. If they should be trusted enough get any. [/quote] The tech and money we send out? Just a poor forgery of the real thing, useless in any real application. Now you know.

...no scoop for The Bodybag? For shame Echelon, for shame. Otherwise, nicely done. I look forward to it, MHA.

Edit: Dead Q&A - thanks for coming!

Well, I'm mostly indifferent. There are others I dislike more. Sorry...? Well... I kinda like us Caffine's been out ploughing the fields and what-not - basically anything he's allowed to do without plunging Echelon into a state of war. As membership, I'm not entitled to an opinion. >_> Nah, I was *this* close to posting my support for NpO, then as I started to get through all the threads I just lost all motivation. Easiest way to put it: if I were a member of NpO and asked to decide, I'd support the venture. With gusto. Somewhat unfortunate, however, the increasing scale of the war. Mostly 'cause it interferes with my tech-selling. I'll trade you something called an 'aboooe' for Razor? Hmm, okay. Apparently I don't have the authority to do that. Tela's answer is more indicative of the alliance... I agree that it's lesser than it was... but I would offer similar opinions on the other spheres; having been on a number (at one time or another) they're all largely the same. Unless revamped, they've outlived their political usefulness. I'm mostly just disgruntled, but you asked, right? Technically, not a question... but thank you! Only if he has good stories to tell - he once spent 45 minutes telling me how he keeps a pillow under his desk so he can sleep. Indeed, and serving in government.

It's not war... but I'll see what I can do. "Because there's no exposure like over-exposure!" -Unknown ...alright, I just made that up. In these dark and tumultuous times, where war constantly plagues our planet, Echelon stands as a shining beacon of morality. A model of society, we strive... ... ...I'm sorry. I was laughing so hard I began to asphyxiate. Anyways, do you want to find out which of our Directors has monorchism? Do you care about what we think of your alliance, or <something CN-related>? Is there something else playing on your mind that you think we can resolve? Well, here's your shot at a Q&A session with Echelon - Feel free to ask whatever you like within reason (i.e. forum rules), and I'm sure there're enough government members lurking to provide some serious feedback to those pertinent questions. Or, you know... do nothing.

Well. I'll try a little harder next time. A few other things: 1) Our next issue (Monday) will be a Q&A. Feel free to ask whatever you like, controversial or not, and I'll try and dig up some government to answer the serious stuff. 2) Turns out the wedding will be held in #quack - you'll be there if you know what's good for you. 3) As usual, complaints can go here or here if you're adverse to throwing them in the topic.

Somewhat irregular, but fortnightly at least. More than that will likely feature a Guest Editor or be a Q&A issue.

Well... Please, try to bottle any of that anger (or love) you may be experiencing, and direct it here, so that you too may feature in The Bodybag - Even we if we don't choose your letter, you'll still receive an autographed photo! Or, make a complaint to my superiors here.
