Your logic is based on your personal assumptions and prospective, not the facts. Your comparisons are not mine. If you think you have this situation figured out, so be it and be satisfied. I think your last statement say's it all but that is not my propensity or concern and shouldn't be yours or others in CN. This is a tribute to a friend, a statement, not a court proceeding seeking public opinion. I have no influence on Thorgrum's decisions or actions and I will offer no explanation for my post. Some of life's ideals and intentions are only shared amongst good friends.

[quote name='SirWilliam' timestamp='1345993171' post='3025385'] Far too heavy on lofty morals, and far too light on much of anything else, for my liking. But I'll agree with most of Thorgrum's tenets, including the very first one, so keep doing your thing. [/quote] Sometimes it is hard to express friendship light hardheartedly. Honor, commitment and trust are the essence of true friendship and sometimes assumed rather than expressed. I take the responsibility for my elaborate post and I agree and understand your comments.

[quote name='Schmoo' timestamp='1345983179' post='3025348'] So Thorgrum is honoring a personal treaty by going rogue on an alliance that was honoring a treaty. Gretchen is praising it, and both actually like GO. Also Gretchen is somehow able to remain neutral while holding membership in an alliance with military level treaties. Makes perfect sense to me! [/quote] It is because of these military treaties that I cannot come to the aid of a dear CN friend. You are right in assuming that neither of us has a primary grudge against GO members. They are honorable in their affairs. My post is honoring Thorgrum's friendship, one who would put his nation on the line to support an honorable gesture, an ODP of two nations, one being me. My hands are tied only to honor these treaties and exist in the CN world "The Game". Honor and commitment takes many shapes in RL or the game. This is why this topic exists.

Edited for those concerned.

Thanks for the kind words Archy.

Rampage, I miss you my good friend! Love Ya....and thanks for your words, they are encouraging. Gretchen

Oh my I almost forgot to say," Hi Wally , O/ ROK, O/ NPL Your the greatest Friend when I need it. Thanks!!! And to Thorgrum, my devoted friend, my mentor and confidant. Words cannot express what your friendship has meant to me throughout our longevity in sharing pixels and words. Your an honest and honorable character to be admired.

I had never sought aggression with any nation in the GO Alliance. War Declared By: Empire of Gaia Ruler: Lord Sigma Knight GURU Order This nation threw every available war tool at me in its 1st attack and in return I sent 2 cruise missiles to flag as a signal of acceptance. Alliances are made up of members but not all members agree on all things in life. That's no cause for disrespect. Because I was attacked is no reason to hate or banter others in the game. If you want blood I only have a certain amount but if you want sugar I have enough for a life time of tasteful pleasure. Gretchen

I am saddened to hear of your sister’s condition. My thoughts will be of you regaining your precious relationship with her and I know she must feel your love for her now! Payers will be made and will guide her to a speedy recovery. At that time I will have tears of joy for you both. Gretch
