Congrats on the elections and whatnot. (I'm surprised Sky hasn't been driven out of town yet. She's terrible! )

This announcement is BAPS-tastic!

Let me apologize to PS and RD. I know it is tough to be a target of the OP/DR war machine. To my fellow Duckrollers, I'd say we've had a pretty good first round, establishing early on that we are no small opponent in size or in strength.

And blue gets even bigger. It's not even remotely a competition anymore. Blue > All Congrats Sons of NADC

Congratulations to our Nordic brothers on the government lineup and a continued existence on Bob. [img]http://www.cnvalhalla.org/forum/style_emoticons/default/dwarf.gif[/img]

It was a good run. Good luck to you all!

Did we win yet?

You've found a good group to sign with, TSU. o/ MCXA

Whether friend or fiend, intentional or otherwise, the eyes of Planet Bob are turned to you, Mushroom Kingdom.

[quote name='flak attack' timestamp='1286137651' post='2473381']Pandora's Box is actually swearing fealty to us. We are far too important to directly associate with such despicable alliances. [/quote] Then how else do you account for the cancellation of the GOONS-MK MDoAP?

[quote name='Haquertal' timestamp='1286135640' post='2473341'] What are you talking about?[/quote] Well the GOD bit is a rumor/joke. As for MK, I cannot think of any other thing that would explain why they cancelled their treaty with you, besides the fact that they'd be signing a new one in the form of a bloc. Either way, it would appear that MK is defending GOONS against KN/TN/FnKa via a non-existing treaty, according to the official public documents of GOONS.

[quote name='Muddog' timestamp='1286133833' post='2473305'] [i]Pandora's Box- 35,708,522 Super Friends- 31,009,743 Complaints and Grievances- 29,924,347[/i] If my math is right, this will become the strongest bloc right? [/quote] You forgot to factor in MK and GOD as leaving their respective blocs for Pandora's Box.

You forgot GOD and MK.

[quote name='Fernando12' timestamp='1286125691' post='2473081']This world needs to be stirred up. [/quote] If the rumors prove true, just hold onto your seat and enjoy the ride.

Top 7 Day Smallest Alliance Gains 1) -126,795 Strength Change - Roman Empire 2) -53,033 Strength Change - The Phoenix Cobras 3) -18,181 Strength Change - SWAT [b]4) -16,762 Strength Change - Pork Shrimp 5) -15,221 Strength Change - Rodentia Dominatus [/b] This will be a splendid war, filled with many many casualties, on both sides.

I didn't know this thread was about what Sal meant in quoting the Bible. Perhaps you should focus less on [i]how [/i]he called you cowards, and more on [i]that [/i]he called you cowards.

[quote name='Beefspari' timestamp='1285881812' post='2470197'] You seem to be under the impression that it's all Methrage's fault any of this is going on. He "stood up" which led other people to do the same thing. It's not like they had their own motives or reasons, they all just did it because Methrage did. Right? Well even so, Methrage is not the first (as I said, RUKUNU has been doing this for far longer, so why aren't you crediting him?). So even if you think people are following someone else blindly without any reasons of their own, why even pin it on Methrage? Actually why even discuss it. Let's ask. Ninjas, FnKa, you're all only doing this because of Methrage right? Your OPs where you cited other reasons that had nothing to do with Methrage, and didn't mention him at all, that's all just a ruse right? You're just joining Methrage's blind crusade against GOONS right? RePePe said so.[/quote] You missed what I said, again. They have their own reasons for doing it, yes. But with the conflict with Kerberos Nexus escalating day-by-day, is not now an opportune time to finally go through with your plans? Sure, perhaps it was just a coincidence that the conflict with Methrage and friend escalated into a conflict with a tiny alliance named Kerberos Nexus. Perhaps, it was just a coincidence that Jim decided to "do something about it." Perhaps, it was just a coincidence that Kerberos Nexus grew to 14 members and counting. Perhaps, it was just a coincidence that the Ninjas also decided to "do something about it" following events and arguments related to Methrage. Perhaps, it was just a coincidence that FnKa also chose this time to "do something about it." Or perhaps not. [quote]And yes, good question. Who [i]will[/i] be next? [/quote] We shall see.

[quote name='Kzoppistan' timestamp='1285880502' post='2470169'] There's [b]three[/b] sides to every story: the one, the other, and the truth that lies somewhere in between. [/quote] You have a good point.

[quote name='Beefspari' timestamp='1285880294' post='2470163'] Not only did none of the recent attacks mention anything about Methrage (mostly "we don't like you," "we don't like your raiding policies," "you told us to", or "just because"), but Methrage attacked us when we were in a position to leave him alone indefinitely. Even if you actually believe any of this has anything at all to do with Methrage, he started it for literally no reason (a member of KN attacked us for no reason, and when we tried to resolve it, Methrage just attacked us instead).[/quote] Seeing one person stand up against what they believed were wrongful raiding policies, others, who had been thinking of it for some time or not, decided it an opportune time to join the crusade. First Kerberos Nexus, then The Ninjas, then FnKa. Who will be next? [quote]If you really want to link disconnected events, you could pretend this is all the work of RUKUNU, who has been rogueing on us for something like 8+ months now. Clearly he caused Methrage to attack us, and then UOKMB, ninjas, and FnKa, despite none of them making that claim. You also didn't mention UOKMB in your claim, and they expressly wanted nothing to do with Methrage. So maybe THEY started this all! [/quote] I'm not too fond of strawmen, so thanks but no thanks.

There are two sides to every story. We just haven't heard the second yet.

[quote name='Beefspari' timestamp='1285879331' post='2470147'] Not only holding Methrage solely responsible for the actions of Ninjas and FnKa (I'm sure their members would love to agree that they're only fighting us because Methrage said so), but already declaring they've beaten us eh. The only way this could be more exaggerated would be if you declared that Methrage single-handedly defeated GOONS and all our allies. [/quote] Solely responsible? I've never thought or said that. It must merely be noted that Methrage was the spark in the powder keg. You tried to silence, stop, and end him. Things only escalated exponentially.

It would appear (with the addition of this DoW and another) a little annoyance of 2 small nations, has now turned into a serious conflict regarding 3 alliances and 50 nations and counting. And to think, Methrage has started all this. Without him, this does not happen. Whether you like the ruler or not, just look at all that he has done to "do something about it." GOONS, you tried to make him go away. Not only did you fail, but he is currently winning not the battle, but the war. Good luck, Ninjas.
