[The ???? and fall of Anathema]

For the record I no-bet on King Xander's offer there. A very wise decision if I do say so myself.

[Polaris was never "in".]

GOONS didn't "trick" anyone, as the UPN nation was the one who agreed to the negotiated amount.

And the "raid" was, as stated earlier, a result of a newbie getting his hands of a list of ghosts (a list, however outdated, that UPN originally gave us themselves).

[Casus Belli, Unicorns and the Holy Grail]

Interesting take.

In the end, casus belli isn't so much a reason you use to justify your actions as it is a reason to justify yourself to the world. Everyone fights for a reason, but the weaker and more petty the reason is, the less people there will be who choose to join your cause.

[Interesting Week thus far]

Your hard drive has a leak.

[Highlights from WCE; the Worst Coalition Ever: Part 1]

Where do they get the idea CnG would actually support this pile of horribleness? Through ODN? ODN has an OPTIONAL aggression treaty with UPN, and if this bloc declared offensively they wouldn't touch it with a 20-foot pole.

Looking at this it seems to me the Invicta/Olympus front would be the next one to close. They're really outgunned.

[GOONS Government: Finding the path forward]

Good writeup, Sardonic. As a member of the new generation of GOONS, these little history lessons are very interesting.
