Duke of Cool

Loved to hate you and fear you. Now I love to respect you. Perseverence! (is there an A in perseverence? ah well...) Good luck on another six years!

Congratulations to us at GLOF and all of our allies! Congratulations to NpO for having such great allies in STA. They went above and beyond what any treaty's words might say. They bookmarked "honor" in the dictionary and stuck a big white tiger next to the word. All of us are going to take a wealth of information away from this situation, strategy, tactical and CN mechanics-wise. For now, let's focus on rebuilding our worlds.

As for WAPA... well, we wish we could say the same, but you've already shown that you have no intentions to be respectful here. Looking over some of your war reasons, as well as a couple of messages I've received, you're still the same gross, classless, pitiful !@#$heads you've always been. You really are the retarded little brother of every alliance you've ever been allied to. [/quote] Damn near spit coffee all over my computer screen when I read this!! I mean, hey, that's my treaty partner and you're the enemy! But seriously, I may go ahead and take another drink and then spit it out, just to make my own funny. I see a few names I recognize from back in the olden days... best of luck to you all! We will have ourselves a nice scrape!

Good. Okay trolls, start..... now!

You, just like us, have every reason to justify actions, or the lack thereof. But it was not us who committed the first act of war. Time will play out, words will be said. As in the OP, our information was absolutely sufficient to realize that we were being attacked. By an ally. The world's not effed up enough as it is, but now we have to keep a sharp eye on our own flanks, rather than forward? Absurdity, indeed, sir.

For all you judgmental types who constantly jump to conclusions ON THIS FORUM, to say that diplomacy was not attempted is just plain sillyassedness. The entire crux of CN is the communication that goes on outside of the numbers. EVERY. REASONABLE. ATTEMPT. was made to contact the leader of the 57th, to no avail. Your high horses aren't so high. If you find yourself in our situation, you too will have to answer to the naysayers. It is the price of politics here and out in the real world. Opinions are formed. The smart ones, however, will take into account all of the machinations that go into decisions such as that we have made. GLOF has never been opportunistic, at least since I've been a part of it. As a group, we lament the use of war as a solution to conflict, yet we march just the same if it is needed. We have followed our treaty partners into war, not questioning the heart of the matter, but following the treaty that ultimately defines the friendship of alliances. When our alliance is attacked in such a way, to tamper with our membership in a foolish schoolyard tug-of-war, we act. If we cannot be afforded an opportunity to talk the conflict out, the next step must be taken.

[quote name='DesertSon' date='13 February 2010 - 12:32 AM' timestamp='1266042755' post='2178816'] This is the most ridiculous accusation I have ever heard! Futhermore, to hear it here first, you didn't even come to anyone in gov at all Pen?! Had you come to me I would have given you a full mask to our forums immediately, without hesitation, to prove our innocence in this outrage. There only two things sadder to see this evening, first is your belief that this could possibly be true and second that we must still have descenders with our own ranks who would stoop to this level to harm those that have brought them into brotherhood and friendship. [/quote] I know that this is damage control, perfectly understandable. The way these screenshots were gone over with a fine tooth comb left no room for doubt. It's a damned shame that petty anger and foolishness on the part of those who find themselves in leadership roles within your alliance could stoop as low as a classless schoolyard job as this.

Heh, communication. Seems to be an issue.

Way to talk to your allies. Communication is the key; it's the only thing we have in this game. Ah well. Get your licks in, get some good experience fighting for a few hours.

I wish you the best of luck in your battles with Constipation!!!

Opportunistic? Better look up the definition of that.

Too long! Did not read most of it! Smells of vinegar and water!!

Best of luck to AZTEC and my Mason brothers. And to FOK, may we wage war against one another with all honor. I am not looking forward to a protacted war within Orange, but if we must burn pixels, then we must.

Good stuff! Take the day off, CN. You've earned it.
