A round of mindless hails on the house, gents, Anarchy Inc. is buying. o/ Anarchy Inc. o/ NPO /o Anti-Gravity

And Anarchy makes another furious leap up the rankings!

I smell a new era of win.

Warning: May contain nuts.

Pretty sure Schatt just leveled up. Hope DH dropped some good loot!

Well I hate to say that but, I told you so. For the others alliances who still have treaties with DH I'd like to remember you that a wise man once said: "Wise men learn by other men's mistakes, fools by their own." It's to late for ex-Mj alliances and Sparta, but it's not too late for the rest of you. [/quote] For once, D34th, I agree with you down to the letter.

[quote name='Chris Kaos' timestamp='1329839261' post='2925137'] You're both very wrong, so allow me to correct you. There are three things that made VX go from hero to zero in the eyes of everyone outside of GATO, although those in GATO knew the truth the whole time. 1. SDRD posted a long winded explanation as to why he left GATO and joined NPO, and included logs showing how Vincent Xander asked SDRD to spy on the NPO. This, frankly, was completely ridiculous and entirely a fabrication. Not only was SDRD's post immaculate in its grammar and orthography (which was entirely out of character, as he was German with a rather poor handle on English), claiming a friend helped him write it (more like Philosopher or USBR wrote it for him), but the logs were [i]complete[/i] fabrications. VX and I didn't trust SDRD at all, and we kept a very close eye on him, and if VX had been in need of someone to spy for him, he'd have asked me. 2. VX had a length discussion with Sir Galahad, then-MoFA of the Legion, about how to approach the NPO problem. There was one line in particular where VX said, "Help me hurt the NPO" or something to that effect, by which he meant politically, with propaganda and PR and NOT militarily. These logs were then posted in the general membership area of the Legion by SG, and were promptly leaked to the CN forums. I still can't believe SG had the audacity and balls to claim that the leak came from our end, when literally two people had seen them in GATO--VX and myself. The NPO decided to take it out of context, assign their own meaning, and attack GATO pretty much out of the blue. Those two things were the CB of GWIII, essentially. 3. At this point, VX had served two consecutive terms as AC and couldn't run for a third, so he went for Congress and became Speaker. For those of you who don't know anything about GATO's governmental system, Congress is the legislative body, and from within their ranks, they elect a Speaker, who is first among equals and the general administrator of Congress. VX took it further than that, though, and pushed the limits of what he could do by inserting himself into the peace negotiations, and took a hardline approach with the NPO's negotiators, while Kevlar (the AC at the time), wanted to go a different route. The end result was that the NPO ridiculed him and essentially destroyed his name, and he decided to leave CN after this because the NPO had ruined his fun. That was basically NPO standard operating procedure back then. They delighted in ruining people and alliances. They had no qualms about doing anything in order to win, and there were a lot of people who tried to be genuinely honest and upstanding in CN who just couldn't keep up with the NPO's practices. For those of you who haven't been around long than, let's say, a few months leading up to Karma, you really can't understand how bad they were. MK and friends have tried to be villains, but there's just nothing like vintage NPO villainry. [/quote] Not only was I in GATO when this happened, I was in the government when it happened. I seem to recall his discredit being more the product of his working toward smoothing over relations with NPO/NpO/GOONS in public, and making a big show of it, and then logs were leaked to the effect that he was actually trying to start a war with them (which, I guess, are the forged logs you're talking about). In any case it was obvious horse!@#$ cooked up by NPO, The League was an empty shell, and it had become obvious that NPO's military completely outclassed anyone on our side; The Legion was about to be revealed as the 'Paper Tiger', NAAC had that annoying habit of just throwing themselves head-long in to NpO without any attempt at strategy, and we just couldn't match NPO's stat line, even at 1k nations. In any case, NPO may have been bad back then, but I do not remember them being anywhere near as bad as MK is now.

I... I love you TTK. There, I said it ;_;

I remember VX. It's been a few years now, but I seem to remember him being forced to resign from the Chairmanship in disgrace after some logs were leaked that proved him to be a rather more insidious character than any of us had surmised. I don't remember exactly what though. He certainly wouldn't have gotten my vote if I'd known he was the two-faced snake he turned out to be. Didn't know Grenval well enough to know weather VX = Grenval is a plausible assertion, though.

[quote name='Crymson' timestamp='1329732673' post='2924487'] If Sparta is seeking a spokesperson for itself to speak in this topic, then I suggest that they find themselves somebody not quite so staggeringly foolish as you are. [/quote] Coming from you, that's practically a complement. Roq is speaking for us for the moment, I'm just here to enjoy the ride and, on occasion, clarify things.

Brehon, Letum, you have my assurances, as well as those of the rest of the government (the non-Roq portion of it) that Sparta has no intention now, or in the future of engaging in any acts of hostility or subversion (military or otherwise) directed at the New Pacific Order. Just for the record. Edit: Crymson, is that your way of threatening us with 'consequences'? The 'consequences' of calling CN's attention to MK & Co.'s blatant abuses? No good deed goes unpunished.

[quote name='Londo Mollari' timestamp='1329626138' post='2923819'] You know in the real world blackmail is a crime. If MK chooses to apply that reasoning here Sparta just may get plowed unless they disown you. I think you are the one who shouldn't play with fire. [/quote] Please, teach us a lesson. Put up or shut up.
