[quote name='Raken' timestamp='1323388413' post='2869737'] [font="Arial"]Pursuant to discussions between Umbrella, Mushroom Kingdom, GOONS, Commonwealth of Sovereign Nations, The Templar Knights and Coalition of Royal Allied Powers, DoomHouse (and Alchemy) recognizes that the three later parties intend to remain neutral in the current conflict and take their word for it. [/quote] I think that the grammatical structure of this sentence gave me cancer.

[quote name='Crushtania' timestamp='1296735475' post='2617640'] I think you mean GRE. We can debate what we may have, may not have and proposed to have done a million different ways. The point of the matter is this ToA has been canceled, unilaterally by NATO. You have made a clear declaration to MHA where we stand in relation to you. [/quote] I think they demonstrated that the obligations of a DMT stand higher than the generic good feelings of a ToA. Although, I think that relation should have been fairly obvious. [quote name='Crushtania']As a harbinger of peace, I cannot help but feel that I have failed in some way if a treaty is canceled, irrespective of the circumstances under which it occurred.[/quote] I suspect that you can trace the cause of this treaty cancellation directly to this thread: http://forums.cybernations.net/index.php?showtopic=97908 ... just saying.

Ah, the Opportunist Brigade strikes again...

[quote name='Venizelos' timestamp='1295937424' post='2599230'] this is going to be hilarous. Sparta and its allies will swarm you. [/quote] I would expect more discretion from a member of LSF government. In previous wars you have used your close alliances with INT and NATO as a reason to remain neutral. This time, however, you decide to go in with INT... and then you go and immediately become inflammatory against your friends and allies at NATO because they are on the other side? You might not want to alienate your friends just for a pointless zing during a momentary political shift -- you could just as easily been on the other side of this war.

Welcome to the bloc!

A smart move, NATO, and nothing to care about what the haters and the peanut gallery think. o/ NATO [quote]Just LSF?[/quote] So if you have one ally on one side and a bunch of allies on the other you would consider it okay to ignore the concerns of that one ally (who presumably holds an equivalent treaty with you) because it's just one treaty? I smell a self-serving argument somewhere...

[quote name='Quadrius' timestamp='1292781892' post='2544584'] What's the "i" stand for? [/quote] The i is for Isis, who died when her canopic jar was damaged.

[quote name='Partisan' timestamp='1292536613' post='2541145'] Welcome to bob! May I ask what the 'i' in iCF stands for? [/quote] It stands for Icecream. We have icecream...

Thanks all, happy to be on board.

I am government man, come from the government. The government has sent me. o/ iCF o/ RoK

I would like to voice my approbation to LSF and INT for negotiating and handling this merger well. Bringing GCU members into your fold so they can learn the intricacies of CN politics is to be commended ... as is offering the hand of friendship, aid, protection, and defense to those who may need it that you can call friends.

Merging with LSF will be a good opportunity for you. o/ LSF

Sometimes a union (pacific) stalls and just won't work well moving into the future. Best of luck to all of the signatories. Special extra love for CCC, NADC, and (of course) our bros at TFD

Congratulations on the treaty. o/ TFD o/ GLOF

Cheers for pink! o/ LSF

Good job, mates! o/ CCC

Good luck. Great protector choice! o/ TPC o/ LSF

[quote name='potato' timestamp='1283864224' post='2445213'] Except the guy in Brassens' song is doing things differently, not wrongly. And, making a thread to point fingers at someone whose opinion you don't care about seems like an awful lot of work for... well, nothing. [/quote] [i]You're so vain, you probably think this song is about you...[/i] Amazingly enough, this thread is about marking a landmark. Your entertaining "contest" just gives a nice backdrop. I'm glad you guys are around to provide the CN community with your cunning commentary and sharp data analysis skills. [img]http://cnnato.org/hogosha/nodate.png[/img]

[quote name='Ardus' timestamp='1283804277' post='2444246'] So a bunch of GUNners join you and you celebrate it as efficiency, success, and proof that all criticism against you is incorrect. Never change. [/quote] Sounds like somebody needs a hug.

Cheers, Val.

[quote name='mythicknight' date='18 July 2010 - 04:35 PM' timestamp='1279485314' post='2377738'] IRON has canceled on them, and presumably NATO knows why [/quote] You'd be surprised. [quote name='ironchef' date='18 July 2010 - 05:51 PM' timestamp='1279489889' post='2377817'] Reading it wrong. Looks like what was said is [b]'We are ready to cut the fat and just keep the meat'[/b] [/quote] Thank you, ironchef, I'm sure you're speaking just for yourself and not for IRON or TORN here...

[quote name='Dom Zak' date='18 July 2010 - 03:49 PM' timestamp='1279482567' post='2377655'] We are willing to continue our relationship. But the thing with relationships is, its a two way street. [/quote] Yes, it is a two way street. However, "Thanks for defending us, we're going to cancel on you now so we won't have to defend you if war comes" only drives in one direction.

[quote name='Aeternos Astramora' date='18 July 2010 - 03:36 PM' timestamp='1279481752' post='2377634'] It's hard to forge a new and better path ahead and keep your friends if they choose to stay on the same path. [/quote] It's hard to know what path your friends want to take if you just cancel on them out of the blue without ever bringing the question up.

[quote name='kriekfreak' date='21 May 2010 - 10:55 AM' timestamp='1274453690' post='2306931'] I have more than 7 close friends but I still wouldn't sign with them all. Especially not if you are signing them in 2 days. I think it lacks some respect to the signatories you are signing with. Are they just a number? If not, why the haste? ... Again, what's the haste? Couldn't they spread them a bit to prevent the signatories feeling like numbers? [/quote] Funny, I don't [i]feel[/i] like a number. Are you one of those people that doesn't allow their girlfriend to have friends who are guys?
