[/quote] Indeed. My excuse was that his clarification post came in while I was in the middle of my first post. Not sure what happened with the second one, but I suspect there was a ninja edit involved. Thread disappoints.

It doesn't state that it's a DoW, but if it's not, then this announcement seems to serve no purpose. Clarification on your latest absurd outburst would be appreciated.

[quote name='Schattenmann' timestamp='1285215392' post='2461819'] It is with foaming spittle at the corners of my mouth[/quote] I find it fascinating that you claim this is not the norm.

[quote name='Ejayrazz' timestamp='1285214186' post='2461794'] This is called logic. THIS is something which holds validity. I'm hoping others finally catch on. [/quote] We can definitely agree that there's a whole lot of illogic going on in this thread.

[quote name='Vol Navy' timestamp='1285209299' post='2461710'] As many times as GOONS have posted bragging about all the profits they were making off him?? I just find it kinda funny that the "Billion Dollar Rogue" is now the rogue that cost billions. [/quote] Dude, you are so black and white about this. The profits were icing. Nothing more. Of course we bragged about it. It was cool. But it wasn't the point to begin with. Is that really incomprehensible?

[quote name='ktarthan' timestamp='1285199140' post='2461487'] And how would you suggest we investigate the secret aid? By blowing bubbles in our cocoa? [/quote] I think the way Methrage's mind works is like this: I am just. GOONS is my enemy. Therefore GOONS is unjust. Therefore, it doesn't matter how they investigate anything because anything they do is moot.

What would have been funny was if he accepted our aid offers and we're stuck sitting there like idiots using up an aid slot sending $1 to a potential enemy.

[quote name='Mr Damsky' timestamp='1285198630' post='2461471'] How have they distorted the term rogue. You two attacked GOONS/aided a member at war with GOONS for absolutely no reason. That's a rogue. [/quote] Attacking one nonsensical statement in a gigantic sea of nonsense almost seems like a waste of time. I think it'd be more of an intellectual challenge to find anything in Methrage's post that actually did make sense.

[quote name='Methrage' timestamp='1285198380' post='2461463'] GOONS seem to be the rogues here, with their slot filling and treating everyone who doesn't like them as guilty of sending aid to me, as well as distorting the meaning of the term rogue to fit their needs as they manipulate/threaten other alliances to destabilize their senate position and color sphere to benefit GOONS. [/quote] Instead of the text you are now reading, kindly replace it with a mental image of me laughing for hours.

[quote name='JimKongIl' timestamp='1285197786' post='2461444'] Goons are free to accept white peace at any time.[/quote] Yeah, we'll be sure to let you off for your act of war because you decide that you're too large and important to have to pay any kind of reps. Thank you for your input. [quote name='Bavaricar' timestamp='1285198166' post='2461459'] (Blah blah blah blah) [/quote] Unaligned nations that commit acts of war against an alliance are rogues. Why do you think you get to define what a rogue is, and why do you think that definition holds more sway than general public opinion? Because you're just THAT cool?

[quote name='Mr Damsky' timestamp='1285196071' post='2461400'] Dear lord it seems like we have one of these discussions every week now. [/quote] Even we're getting tired of it.

[quote name='Umar ibn Abd al-Aziz' timestamp='1285190759' post='2461338'] Yep, it's just passed 7am here in the Caliphate (OOC: I live in Australia /OOC) and Daikos is correct, I've been asleep. I have awoken to Jim's declaration of war however, which should be a bit of fun [/quote] Tear 'em three new ones, Umar, you lovable scamp!

[quote name='WorldConqueror' timestamp='1285172384' post='2461042'] My attempts at humour, foiled again. [img]http://i49.tinypic.com/14smltw.jpg[/img] [/quote] I would have thought it a fairly clever joke, but supposedly the true meaning of UOKMB's name is secret and I think you might have just actually figured it out. Also, blindrat, that comic's pretty boss. Make more plz.

[quote name='kulomascovia' timestamp='1285176123' post='2461113'] Sanctions would reduce the ability of your opponent to fight back. Wouldn't that reduce what you "love" as well? [/quote] So would nukes, cruise missiles, air raids, ground assaults, spies, and navies. Maybe we should avoid using those.

[quote name='Bavaricar' timestamp='1285134697' post='2460702'] Please do continue this show of goonie prowess. [/quote] Interesting sense of humour you have there. So after you got beaten down to a shell of your original size, why did you switch to an alliance even smaller and more insane? Just for kicks? Is that part of the joke? And then you sit back and laugh because no matter how badly you got your teeth kicked in, your opponent hasn't managed to completely demolish the friends you left behind. I guess you had to be there.

[quote name='ChairmanHal' timestamp='1285133809' post='2460692'] Methrage isn't worth aiding at this point. Even if GOONS wasn't crawling around having people spied up who maybe/yeah probably sent him aid.[/quote] If we post a thread specifically warning people not to aid him and they still do, do you think we should do nothing about it? What kind of precedence does that set? "Go ahead and ignore us, folks. We have no intention of backing up our promises. Feel free to commit acts of war against us. We'll just pretend it didn't happen." [quote name='ChairmanHal' timestamp='1285133809' post='2460692']If Methrage escapes this time, we know what will happen in the end. GOONS will poke him with a stick until he attacks[/quote] We didn't poke him with a stick this time. We were very specifically leaving him alone after the TOP settlement. When his alliance-mate attacked us, we approached him diplomatically and he spazzed out on us. If Methrage escapes, we won't need to poke him with a stick. We can smile sardonically at him and he'll attack us. [quote name='ChairmanHal' timestamp='1285133809' post='2460692']This isn't a typical situation. It's gone from facepalm, to people arguing over GOONS tactics, to sublime comedy. Sure you can acknowledge that much. The normal rules that govern these things got burned long ago. [/quote] You are indeed right about that. It has become totally ridiculous. But honestly, we can't just let it go at this point. Every single minute action being taken is having a big huge stupid deal made out of it by just about everyone and fortunately or unfortunately, we have to see this through.

[quote name='ChairmanHal' timestamp='1285132411' post='2460654'] Seeing as how he doesn't owe any of us an answer, and I don't expect one, it is still interesting to see what lengths GOONS will go to try to blackmail people for another 90 mill. Don't tell me you guys blew the money people have been shelling out to you already. [/quote] Very basic logic will tell you that we haven't even received all of it. If someone can build a machine that instantaneously takes every half-conceived thought of yours and posts it to the OWF, that might save you a lot of time.

[quote name='Methrage' timestamp='1285011993' post='2459111'] Seems Dicktopia might reach ZI soon if this madness continues or he doesn't get proper backup, although a nation of dicks wiped off the map wouldn't be so bad. [/quote] Are you prejudiced against men named Dick? I find that very intolerant of you, sir.

[quote name='Methrage' timestamp='1285029012' post='2459387'] I do rule a nation which embodies Libertarian principles, which was a nice observation on your part [/quote] What a genius I must be to put these clues together.

[quote name='Methrage' timestamp='1284957176' post='2458719'] It doesn't surprise me that people who like those traits would gather in a fleet named for such traits and that encourages them within the fleet. [/quote] Maybe everyone else has moved past this but I seriously cannot get past how utterly useless this comment is. I mean, I am astounded. Let's use this same logic on Methrage. It doesn't surprise me that a person who claims to be Libertarian would rule a nation called Libertarian Empire that embodies Libertarian principles. Duh, really? What an ingenious observation.

[quote name='ChairmanHal' timestamp='1285023453' post='2459284'] Actually I was speaking of some of your alliance mates. Good artwork though. If I buy a print do I get a bowl of soup with it? [/quote] For you, ChairmanHal, absolutely.

[quote name='Methrage' timestamp='1285009607' post='2459089'] If reaching ZI or near ZI doesn't sound appealing to you, I'll allow you to individually surrender. Also I always save my ground attacks on you for last, so you can at least feel like you're doing a little bit good in a war you're not doing so good in. Also I don't know what this talk is of rounds, as I've won every air round and don't bother keeping track of points, but make me a hit ZI and I'll consider this battle a victory for you guys. Until then you guys are failing hard. [/quote] You know, if you're going to lie about how well you're doing you might actually try to make it sound convincing. Just a tip you'll probably ignore, but whatever. I think at this point you can use all the help you can get.

[quote name='ChairmanHal' timestamp='1284988744' post='2458883'] It certainly seems to have struck a nerve. Mission accomplished. [/quote] Nah. Hold on, I'll make my own comic to show how much of a nerve it struck. [img]http://www.heisanevilgenius.com/cybernations/piratecomic.PNG[/img]

[quote name='Methrage' timestamp='1284957176' post='2458719'] It doesn't surprise me that people who like those traits would gather in a fleet named for such traits and that encourages them within the fleet. [/quote] That is the most useless statement I have ever heard.

[quote name='dalstrs' timestamp='1284955864' post='2458705'] I have to say the Sadism be me favorite GOONS trait. [/quote] I'm rather keen on Negligence meself.
