    I find this line of argument self defeating, ultimately the politics is above the heads of the majority of the rulers of Bob. Certainly those who are less active, and thus more likely to leave, don't pay much attention to it at all. No, dumb terms aren't responsible for the situation Bob is in now, largely because they have only made a bit of a comeback fairly recently, but those who claim that kicking someone after you've beat them down is gonna keep them in the game are talking crap.

     

    And need I remind you that it is your own ally who you are arguing it is so great that they had these humiliating peace terms put on them? Very endearing behaviour.

    You can find it and take it however you like, straight forward or up the rear, I don't care. If you want to get involved somewhere  you can, there's simply more slots available than players willing to fill them. If you want to reach the "upper echelons" of alliance management and put your angst into going after Polar, there's opportunity. Sitting here complaining about an alliance accepting a surrender term isn't going to change anything.

     

    I know who my allies are. They were involved parties. They're comfortable with where things are, shook hands, made Molly put on his tighty whitey's, and we're good to go. Why aren't you?

    This is almost as funny as Grub. I don't hate anyone but when someone says that forceful disbandment of AAs is good for the game then there is already something wrong with your whole mindset. The fact is simple over something minor NpO went all the way to wanting to forcefully get rid of an opponent of the color shows the same mindset. A mindset that has drawn much of the fun out of the game. How many players have just had enough and left the game because wars have ended with harsh terms and it is therefore simply not worth it. It is not just the cost of reps but how slots are wasted. One war can lead to long time of recovery while other AAs that often avoid wars (sit on billions as you say) continue to grow. I have often had to pay reps and have it has a clear rule never to accept reps at the end of a global war.

    Of all the people who've left in the last 5 years, what do you think the actual percentage is of people who left because of outrageous post-war terms? I'd wager not that high.

     

    People leave because they're bored, because this is a stagnant world. It hasn't had a (potential) shakeup since Oculus formed, and they've done nothing but the same anyway. Before that? Whew, maybe TOP/NpO treaty? We've now repeated the last war three times. Since 2011 it's been the same old cycle repeated, with the occasional abberation.

     

    Last time any "bad" reps were in play that I remember, it turned into CSN/SF vs DT/Mj... That was fun.

     

    So you can stop with the faux outrage. These aren't alliance murdering terms. They're not even difficult to complete. But maybe now NADC has something else to play for. Or maybe if you're pissed off enough you'll go work on taking out Polar. I won't hold my breath.

    Reviving color politics is a moronic thing, and whoever demanded it should resign from his nation and his alliance. As much as I really dislike NADC I dislike dumb ideas even more. Its a color nothing more nothing less. Appalling. 

    Yeah because you're doing loads to make this world interesting.

    I've never been a huge fan of either MI6 or Invicta, but some of these wars don't seem to have much rhyme or reason. As with prior wars the lesson is clear for all independent alliances: promote activity, run drills, train your members to preserve resources and fight guerrilla. It's the best defense in this unpredictable world.

    What about the time(s?) you tried to join? Or ally them? :/

    Oh I remember those old tales of bias by the Gods. Seems like an age since that was a thing... Are we doing that again? How about shark week? EZI etc.? More reps and viceroys for everyone forced disbandment etc. Give people something to really fight for you know? 

    The more things change, the more they stay the same.

    Pretty sure my personality is fine, but thanks for your concern Auctor. Keep on keepin on dude. Also vote for the NADC dude (dunno who's running sorry)

     

     

    So which portion of MI6 are myself and Kerschbs? Stagger and Ava? WANA and Lavo? Kevlar and Salsa? Manthrax and Chaunce? Because last I checked, we were still being rolled for the same reason. So if it's nothing personal against a "good portion" of MI6, but then you turn around in the same post and say "Chim is MI6" you can see my frustration with this inconsistency. If you have personal issues with Chim and some of the rest of MI6, don't use this farce of a global war as a pretext to take your vengeance. It is opportunistic and I expect much better from you. 

    Yeah, but he is the alliance. That's how I see it, and I've lived it. The alliance does as he does, one way or another. There's no chance for anything else at this point, the alliance will continue down this trail until the world ends or the alliance does. That's why I left, I wasn't tying myself to him. 

     

    Things would be going this way whether TBC was here or not.

    My issues Gibs are with the inconsistencies in your reasonings. I have seen several TBC posters in this thread say that this had nothing to do with us or revenge, that they were asked to help friends, and then turn around and say, "you reap what you sow," etc. etc. So which is it?

     

    If the tone of the posting had been nothing personal, we would not have made it to 14 pages (when was the last time we had a thread this long?) on a minor DoW. You are allowed to say that it's personal, to hold a grudge, but don't tell me you've "moved on" through one side of your mouth whilst the other corner reminds us of the naughty, terrible things we've done in the past. If you all are going to be bitter, than at least embrace the salt and be salty. Just skip the glib holier than thou routine - Polar has it down to a science at this point (I swear to christ Grub is a literal cartoon villain; idk how someone like him exists for longer than 23 minutes it must be insufferable).

     

    Also obligatory NG sux (hi caustic)

    When I say nothing personal, I mean individually people like you and Kerschbs have always been great, and it's not just you two. It's a good portion of MI6. 

     

    But if anyone knows MI6, it's TBC. We know that for as many people as we like in MI6, at the end of the day it's an extension of Chim. Whether there's a huge portion of people disagreeing with him actively or not, Chims got enough cronies (to go along with his own crazy activity) that things don't change. It's been the case for a long time now. 

     

    I think I've explained this a few times now: Our MI6 relations soured, with Chim continually pissing us off (you saw this). We made new friends (you probably saw this). Said friends decided to roll MI6 for whatever reason they're using idefk, they asked us to take slots, and since we know Chim is MI6 we had no problem saying yes.

    if you actually read my post I'm not debating the inevitability of our rolling, simply the participation in it by TBC.

    I mean we didn't seek out entry. We were approached and asked to pick up some stagger slots, and due to all the crap we went through with ChiMI6, we had no reason to say no to our allies. 

     

    Listen, I get the "enabling" and "band wagon" terms you're throwing out from your perspective, but the thing is, we simply moved on. We branched out. We started with NSO, a mutual friend to MI6. But the frequent bull from Chim and co. kinda soured the opinion of your alliance, so we looked at places we didn't before. We made friends, too. A whole bunch of 'em.

     

    Believe it or not, we've been talking to NG

    for a long time. Me? I still hate 'em. Caustic's a huge turd muffin, idek anyone else but I mean $%&@ NG right? But I'm inactive now. I used to be Tri, that relationship goes back months at this point. More than I can say for our relations with MI6. When we were asked to cover slots, at this stage of the world, I'm sure it was an easy decision to hit MI6.
