[quote name='Schattenmann' timestamp='1299554867' post='2656146'] How long does the ODN plan to endanger its protectorate by engaging them in their war of aggression against the Justitian Mystery by the solicitation of aid during war? The Flood Empire has refused counsel that aiding an alliance at war is an act of war, has the ODN apprised those they claim to protect that it is so, so that The Flood might make their own decision on the matter knowing the full scope of their decision? [/quote] Welcome to Repsville. Population: you.

Neat. Best of luck with this! (no really, I hope this works out!)

[quote name='HeroofTime55' timestamp='1298190667' post='2639292'] Only the ones who happened to be on the winning side. I'm not sure what alternate reality of history you are talking about, but this reality has seen ODN run from danger time and time again. [/quote] Derp. I guess we need to lose another war before some folks will terms with reality...

[quote name='Schattenmann' timestamp='1298186390' post='2639253'] I've been in peace negotiations with ODN, they went like this: ME: If you refuse to declare peace with us based on our ignoring this front for months and your ignoring this front for months, then we have no choice but to get serious about this and begin attacking ODN. ODN: Uhhhhhhh, ok, well in that case, we declare peace. If there are any peace talks between ODN and Justitia's Cult, they will be at ODN's instigation, and OsRavan will be very polite. [/quote] I can't wait to see you eat those words in front of all of Bob in a few weeks.

[quote name='Schattenmann' timestamp='1298185752' post='2639243'] The Cult of Justitia recognizes that ODN has foolishly activated the aggressive clause of its treaty with MK and will deal with the Network appropriately. [/quote] More humility would be appropriate when you deal with OS during peace negations, me thinks...

[quote name='Haflinger' timestamp='1297431594' post='2629311'] WotC has already been covered in my previous post. That C&G is not this C&G. In both Karma and Bipolar, C&G bandwagoned in. We all know by now that TORN peacing out was because of the lie that Archon told bigwoody, which was designed to split Hegemony and make what could have been a somewhat-even war with Hegemony facing superior odds into a curbstomp where all of TORN's direct allies stayed out of the war. When NPO approached the leader of C&G about ending the war launched by mistake, Moo got told that unconditional surrender was the only way out. While their agent bigwoody spread dissension among the ranks, thus assuring victory, C&G declared war. In Bipolar, they did pretty much the exact same thing. When TOP took their bait and attacked them, TOP stood a chance of actually winning the war - or so they thought. Of course Polar pulled the rug out, peacing out behind them, and C&G knew it had a completely winnable war. So they spread the lie that they had not been planning on declaring war at all, activated all of their non-chaining MDPs, and refused to peace TOP immediately, claiming that they would always be looking over their shoulder for TOP gunning for them if they did. If C&G had peaced TOP right then and there, they could have watched while TOP burnt Polar to the ground for them. Of course that would have meant they were on the sidelines, and C&G can't have that. They always have to be in the war on the winning side. They've been a bit more sophisticated in hiding their bandwagoning until now. That's probably because they lost Archon, and now have to replace him with people from ODN and International, two alliances who've never been good at hiding their bandwagoning. [/quote] Oh wow. Tin-foil hats up in the house!

Jesus, this is like a wet dream... Rolling the WEA. Priceless.

Nice work GATO, classy as always. Much Bro-Love for you guys. (no homo)

GOONS, Living the dream...

ITT, Doomhouse making big moves. o/ Decisiveness

Tough spot for sure. Good luck friends.

[quote name='Rebel Virginia' timestamp='1295305300' post='2578992'] [color="#0000FF"]Everything I say usually happens to be correct. If it weren't, my detractors, such as yourself, would not spend nearly so much time trying to discredit me. In fact, the very fact you are denying this only further proves that there was indeed a power struggle, and in the end, Athens lost out. If there were no power struggle you would not be trying to deny it. Your denial serves as confirmation of the truth.[/color] [/quote] So by your logic, 2+2=Ham?

A huge welcome to The International! [quote name='Rebel Virginia' timestamp='1295211410' post='2577590'] [color="#0000FF"]I guess this is the ends any doubt about it. Athens loses to ODN in the power struggle. When can we expect TPE to come in and make your victory complete, ODN?[/color] [/quote] What do you do? Just say the first thing that comes to mind on the off chance that one time you'll say something that comes close to being correct? Even a broken clock is right twice a day I guess...

That was fun. Raiding contest next?

Things work themselves out I guess... Love ya GOONS!

Welcome to the fray friends

[quote name='Voodoo Nova' timestamp='1292822721' post='2545736'] The Winter Break War of 2010 now begins. [/quote] Time to start arguing about the war's name! yes?

[quote name='Alterego' timestamp='1292827747' post='2546087'] For an alliance that hit Valhalla in the last big war with no CB or treaty requirement it seems funny they cant defend al ally now when it matters. They threw away the e-lawyers in Bi-Polar to get in to a winning war and now they bring the e-lawyers back to help them abandon an ally. [/quote] But who wouldn't hit Valhalla if the chance presented itself?

This isn't the war I wanted to see, but alas it seems nessisary but also: It's poppin' off! BRAAAAAAAAP!

Good call, my friends.

Best of luck with the changes at the top.

Nice move MK. FOK!, you just picked up a damn fine ally.

Oh look! My enemies bunched up in the open! [color=red][b]*Ranges my morter[/b][/color] Fitting treaty anyhoo.

Congrats to two great allies!
