If you guys had so much problems with the amount of reps, then why did you accept them? I would have happily gone to war over this.

[quote]That is part of the reason why it baffles me FOK would ask for a public apology? Why give a vehicle for pointless trolling between two people with a common enemy? [/quote] The only reason there is a public apology was because someone which didn't have any authority talked to my gov. He offered a public apology and some reps and that basically gave us ideas. I don't care about this apology at all, however I do like the thread, so it is worth something.

[quote name='Leet Guy' timestamp='1314739848' post='2791216'] I think that people just need to take a few more risks. I'm not necessarily saying chaotic or belligerent risks, but calculated risks at least. Someone recently pointed out that this was one of the first summers that there wasn't even so much us a minor skirmish (save the small NsO-SoS drama from much earlier), and I think this is partially indicative of the lack of people doing so much as anything besides building stats and frowning - but not acting - at the bleak political landscape. [/quote] This is true, however trying something which doesn't fit in with the general view of planet BOB, will usually get you in alot of !@#$. I am not only referring to starting random wars here but also dropping treaties without good reasoning etc.

[quote name='Beau Vine' timestamp='1314737393' post='2791201'] I don't think it's posts/threads like this one that build such image (aka - good topic :-) ). I think the reason for big number of blocks at this very moment - is precisely because people want clearer image. Grays, you say? It still beats the usual entanglement. But I agree it ought to be a transitional model, not a permanent one if the ultimate goal is allowing for more interesting political world on Bob. As to blocks making it more clear. Consider normal treaty web. You've got multiple treaties, which you can weight against others - should ODP partner attack other MDoAP ally - obligation is clear, if uneasy. But ODP partner fights with other ODP over some BS CB, and we have a problem. With proper bloc - where people gather because they share similar views on FA, not because they feel in such group they'll raise to more power - you have certain treaties prioritised, and you can work - together - on future FA line. If current blocks work in this direction, until eventually they achieve at least situation where it's impossible to have a conflicting treaty against other bloc partner - it's a win. tl:dr - cut blocks away and downgrade them to small treaty webs [/quote] This only applies if every bloc had no outside treaties and if only bloc-bloc treaties would excist. This will never happen because this would destroy the whole purpose of having an alliance. A good thing would be the following: All !@#$ alliances would merge into one big pile of !@#$, so that the rest would be able to roll them whenever they want. @ theleetguy, what would you suggest to solve the problem?

We should all go neutral. Also, I partly agree, I think the same problem will excist even without those blocs, but maybe to a lesser extent. The problem with most blocs is that all the alliances in a bloc are basically tied all over the place and this is mainly due to certain alliances being afraid of cancelling old treaties because of their nostalgic value. One of the major problems(I guess) is the lack of wars, if wars are started more frequently people will know who they can trust in a war and who they can't, if nothing is happening then most alliances don't have a reason to cancel certain treaties.

This is pathetic.... a pony themed alliance? ffs...

Congrats to our allies! PS: Goldie you suck.

[quote name='Scorponok' timestamp='1312850393' post='2775338'] I think the people who know don't need to ask. [/quote] I honestly don't have any idea what you are talking about but if you want to believe what you heard then be my guest!

[quote name='flak attack' timestamp='1312837314' post='2775189'] Consider this a statement of support for the coup from the glorious Southern Delegation. [/quote] I heard the Southern Delegation sucks.

[quote name='Omniscient1' timestamp='1312828108' post='2775058'] MK hasn't asked them to cancel that one yet. [/quote] Indeed. We are awaiting their next order!

[quote name='Unknown Smurf' timestamp='1312827289' post='2775043'] I am surprised.. the RnR connection remains though, which I believe is more significant. [/quote] I didn't want to put up four announcements at the same time, so that will come tomorrow.

[quote name='Scorponok' timestamp='1312822264' post='2774962'] I guess that meeting worked out then. This isn't surprising to see, I didnt see PB sticking anywhere next to XX. Just waiting for that VE announcement. Good luck FARK [/quote] What meeting?

[quote name='D34th' timestamp='1312819877' post='2774908'] FOK changed the charter? Or is it a coup? [/quote] We didn't and no it isn't a coup.

Soon after our great Dictator became leader once again, he fell ill. FOK was in despair and we didn't know what to do. But a wise and great man decided to stand up. His name was "ElasticAsteroid", he held a great speech and convinced FOK of his capabilities. The entire alliance fell in love with him and that's how we got ourselves a new president! I hereby present you our new gov: [b]FOK Council of [s]Five[/s] Three[/b] President - ElasticAsteroid Right Hand - CheeKy Left Hand - Jammar
