This is exciting news and I look forward to your ascendancy.

[quote name='Mao de la torre' timestamp='1290034535' post='2516176'] [b]a[/b]ww [b]your [/b]mad now[b] [/b] can you not read? [b]t[/b]his was not an invitation to attack us. [b]p[/b]lease pay attention in [b]you [/b]3rd grade reading class [/quote] Goodness that was certainly quite the burn. Intimating that the poster was of a 3rd grade reading level. Well done.

[quote name='Valerius' timestamp='1289788927' post='2513281'] Charming. As expected. [/quote] You literally asked for it.

[quote name='Valerius' timestamp='1289373088' post='2509138'] I love the sound of unnecessary provocation. [/quote] Whatever brings my guns closer to the pleading faces of your citizens, is something I can certainly get behind.

[quote name='iamthey' timestamp='1288654756' post='2499357'] He deserves applause and accolades for the venerable hero of GOONland and Planet Bob that he is. [/quote] We wouldn't even have to make a separate list. EOG Could become Hero Of Goons. Praise the HOG!

[quote name='tarman2010' timestamp='1288248387' post='2495022'] Such harsh terms. How dare you give him the ability to turn a profit?!? A viceroy would have been so much nicer. [/quote] We would have but the ViceRage/MethRoy factions didn't get the paperwork turned in in time.

[quote name='Caleb H' timestamp='1288147592' post='2493996'] 3. Member must be respectful toward each other and keep a friendly atmosphere 4. Members are expected to socialize and have fun among fellow members [/quote] I'd finally have friends! Goons are ok but the other day, someone made an unkind comment on IRC. Although the comment wasn't directed at me, it shows a pattern of dysfunction. If we're not having fun then we might as well turn our nations over to Cheeze Giggles and green beer. Rule by committee is a failure. Good luck in your lofty goals.

You mean oppressing free adults with an arbitrary metric based on merit and making lists of unreasonable expectations?

Curses! Foiled again.

From my reading of the forums, it seems that the most of the arguing over CB or "playing fair" is done by people who are not involved in the conflict. They can't be swayed or reasoned with because they don't HAVE to be reasonable. They are not the ones actually at war.

[quote name='Eternal Enigma' timestamp='1286892060' post='2482365'] this would be soooooooo coool if it had less goons [/quote] We are the necessary flaw in the tapestry. It is a great day to be a box.

[quote name='thekirbyfake' timestamp='1285261234' post='2462260'] *terrorist picture* [/quote] The nation of Coffee will never forget the horror. You act like a nice guy, with your nukes and your freakishly strong CM's but believe me, YOU ARE NO NICE GUY. Awesome comic however.

A scurvy dog for every yardarm and a double tot of rum for the crew ... um, please. Yar

[quote name='Methrage' timestamp='1284623087' post='2455660'] The war has been beneficial to my nation growth at least, the GOONS I'm fighting not so much. Seems even with all their aid slots full it can't stop the decline in their NS. [/quote] Heh, of course it has been. And Libertarianism is the protecting of non-aggressors from those who would infringe upon them. I don't think either of those words, "Libertarianism" or "beneficial" mean what you think they do

There is nothing here

Let us hope this is but the start. Let the drop turn into a trickle; then a stream that swells to wash the world in a swift and cleansing flood of radioactive purity. Tell GOONS in the only language that they understand that tech raiding has no safe haven on Planet Bob.

[quote name='WarriorConcept' timestamp='1284151016' post='2449039'] I'm impressed by how patient GOONS have been in this matter, good show guys. [/quote] There's nothing else to do. The dance must be performed. All terms argued, offered or suggested will end the same as it always has with Methrage. "I'll agree that I made mistakes if you will agree that you were wrong"

[quote name='Andre27' timestamp='1284150774' post='2449034'] You forget that spy operations cost money, money he would need to pay you folks hence the spy option would not be beneficial for him either. Forcing him to throw away 80M comes pretty close to petty grudges. [/quote] What do you consider a non-petty reason?

All that's left is for you to get to protecting. Looks like you arrived just in time.

[quote name='lightningjim' timestamp='1284096118' post='2448620'] Well that's what I got in my inbox. Perhaps my mail client is lying to me? Or was it... a GHOST?!? [/quote] Wait! One of those pixels are out of place. I'm not sure, but something isn't right here.

[quote name='Methrage' timestamp='1284092806' post='2448536'] You're accusing me of making those logs myself? It was Beefstupid who linked to it and that was the first I've seen of it. I haven't spoken with GOONS on irc after our last war ended. [/quote] Somewhere, deep inside you HAD to know that this wouldn't work. Too much chance to backfire and too...silly. Mathrage indeed!

[quote name='Franz Ferdinand' timestamp='1283874012' post='2445375'] Nobody loses in this war... just think of the sweet sweet casualties which either side will gain from this. Just the thought of that makes me want to blow up some Voltorbs in delight. [/quote] The post heard round the world. The Citizens of Coffee are a sedate lot, but do love an occasional explosion.

[quote name='tamerlane' timestamp='1283871648' post='2445318'] You should be ashamed of this analogy. [/quote] It does suggest some rather earthy names for this conflict.

[quote name='blindswelledrat' timestamp='1283867095' post='2445237'] Then why on earth would you make a post saying "I would like 9 UOKMB's" when you don't have the ability to deal with even 1? That is an extraordinary thing to do. [/quote] Did you actually ask this again? You even quoted the answer. [quote name='Beefspari' timestamp='1283866704' post='2445234'] But that's the entire point of our alliance. We're bottom-heavy, so we're allied to middle-heavy and top-heavy alliances. They knock things down and we handle the low-level fisticuffs. In both this and a regular war, our allies will be handling people over 25k for us. If you don't like that, you shouldn't've engaged us. [/quote]

[quote name='nutkase' timestamp='1283795499' post='2444043'] The alternative would be to re-word it along different lines which does not involve the word Alliance. Still wondering if GOONS see Ninja's as a alliance or a bunch of nations which just happen to have the same AA? [/quote] In the nation of Coffee, we have similar problems with phrase Lazy Daisy . A Lazy Daisy is a group of decent folk who choose to sit close together for much of the day. Sometimes, during our Lazy Daisy, a group of filthy, barefoot street urchins squat outside and scratch themselves in a most conspicuous fashion. When The Authorities are called, they jump up and down claiming that they are holding their own Lazy Daisy. Language can be difficult.
