Buds The Man

Congrats Dera you are very deserving of this.

[quote name='Johnny Apocalypse' timestamp='1354272656' post='3058515'] Kinda like how Mjolnir wasn't a treaty of convenience right? Good luck with your inevitable treaty conflicts in the future, but with all of your fine mature friends from various corners of the web I doubt there'll ever be a conflict of interest and you'll all be friends forever [/quote] I love it how people who werent involved think they know way more than those of us that were. Considering I was a main player in putting that bloc together it was never designed as a conveniance. It was a group of AAs that was targeted by another group and we knew we would be picked off one by one. Mjolnir never saw its full potential reached !@#$ happens. PB never accomplished half of what it could have done either. Considering 3 of the 4 signatories remained together it was far from a conveniance treaty. Plague we have far fewer treaties than most. Im personally not a fan of FARK but they have put in the time to get too know us and we have put in the time to get to know them, it has not been a short journey but one thought out over time. My AA decided this was a good fit and I support that and will honor that treaty regardless of personal feelings.

[quote name='pd73bassman' timestamp='1354250955' post='3058421'] Unless they pull a repeat of that brilliant pre-emp they did not too long ago [/quote] failed pre-emp still way better than ignoring a treaty

honorable as always bassman

[quote name='CheeKy' timestamp='1354241532' post='3058302'] Haha. Ai and Fark literally calling eachother friends, what a joke. [/quote] Well at least im pretty sure FARK wont try to start a seperate war so they dont have to fullfill their obligations to AI and I know we wont do that to them. So I guess our definitions of friends must be different.

Welcome looking forward to a growing relationship

Was in TTK for the first year and half or so of playing this game. Valhalla for 4 years on the nose Now im in AI

Hiya Lanna keep on keeping on

Some ones loss is another ones gain. Im happy to have argent with us. I know it is never easy to choose a path with the unfamiliar and TOP and Argent both have made that choice. Good luck to both parties. Max Ill be honest IIRC I was the one who suggested hitting CnG as I had reliable intel that Athens had target lists on IRON as soon as they would come in for NSO. In retrospect Crymson another day wouldnt have mattered as I believe Archon would have held off making that deal with Polar. I would still love to know who tipped them off though. We hadnt even told our members till the day of. Some one leaked the plans. As far as target lists go that was its own dibacle.

I know what this treaty meant. We are here for our Duck Roll brothers and I wish TOP the best on the loss of a long time ally.

congrats TTK. DB4D has always seemed like a good bunch.

ahh as I sit here with my crown and coke reflecting on things. Life just got a little better. o/ Argent o/ AI

I know im way late but this was great sunday reading. [quote name='Feanor Noldorin' timestamp='1351953784' post='3048012'] I too pray for the success of these talks and hope the individuals involved in the mediation process can keep their tempers in check. I would hate for unwanted aggression to befall my friends in the Kingdom. [/quote] LOL first threat and it was only page one. [quote name='Rush Sykes' timestamp='1351960888' post='3048041'] In a word, yes. Fortunately, when I rogue you, we will have better drama. I only hope someone aids me in secret. Maybe you could? [/quote] Just let me know when Rush Ill send it secretly [quote name='Vladimir Stukov II' timestamp='1351976542' post='3048125'] Uh, I'm not going to go rogue on NPO because you guys are irrelevant. I just see what's coming and find it laughable that you are acting all badass. It's not 2007 any more bro. [/quote] Its not 2009 either Vlad. NPO is not the NPO of then. [quote name='Sardonic' timestamp='1351985103' post='3048219'] The attempts to discredit MK seem to get more and more lackluster as time goes on. This would be "a thing" if MK's government was condoning the actions, or enticing people to do them, but they aren't. So, yeah. [/quote] Ugg i have to agree with Sardonic and that is bad. Some one give me a beer quickly to wash this taste out of my mouth. [quote name='Feanor Noldorin' timestamp='1352041477' post='3048457'] I came here to wish my allies good luck in fixing this situation. Some people didn't take to kindly to that. It seems they want conflict rather than a peaceful solution. Also, Vlad and Mogar seem to be in a pissing match but I don't see why anyone would pay them any attention. [/quote] No you attempted to throw weight around and got it shoved back in your face. [quote name='Centurius' timestamp='1352060364' post='3048561'] You're one to talk about spin when it's no secret that said cancellation was in no way political and that IRON signed off on our own treaty with Umbrella. [/quote] Cent have we really fallen so far apart? I have not forgotten that we used to work well together. [quote name='MCRABT' timestamp='1352120084' post='3048878'] We were aware of the Umbrella treaty and didn't have any principle objections, we didn't "sign off" on the treaty, we don't sign off on the foreign policy objectives of our allies, it's not our job to dictate their agenda. If we are on divergent paths then we will quite simply part when we come to the cross roads. IRON knows where TOP perceives itself to be in the world and vice versa, we're not concerned and neither should anyone else be [/quote] I love this man and hes one of a few I miss by not being in .gov. Well said Rab. As expected Brehon handled this well, this reaffirms my belief that NPO is not the same NPO of old and is a much better AA today than in the past. I am proud to call them friends and allies. (that hurt a bit to admit just so you know)

Take Cuba you will be missed sir. All the best on your RL battles

Welcome I look forward to working with you all.

Dear God tailk in top three in TOP lord help us all. Congrats to all.

[quote name='Rush Sykes' timestamp='1350002976' post='3040275'] It is really mind-numbing how people think any alliance should set out to try to maneuver into an even numbered fight. It has never been done by ANYONE in the history of this planet or ANY planet similar to this. You side with people who share the same goals as you, and you do so until they no longer share the same goals. If that side has a numbers advantage. so flipping be it. It would be irresponsible on every measurable level for an alliance to set to create an "equal" enemy. [/quote] Dammit now im agreeing with Rush things must be getting better in this world.

[quote name='Ardus' timestamp='1349903853' post='3039571'] Let the world tremble. [/quote] Nahh yawn maybe. This was semi expected. Congrats to both parties.

No worries Jack Ill bring my nukes to the party if needed

[quote name='Rush Sykes' timestamp='1349049224' post='3036095'] Either STFU and convince your alliance to come at us. I can assure you we have no regrets with this treaty. Your move sparky. [/quote] nvm rush you keep on holding on to the old hatreds man. I was hoping that a treaty would have occured between AI and TLR but this just proves our gov is very good at what it does. Keep comming Rush someday you may get your wish. When you wake up the next morning and realize it probably was a terrible wish. Good luck to both parties may it bring you to your ultimate goal.

good luck with the changes but i do miss Rush.

sorry to see the down grade both DT and NoR are great allys to have. Good luck to my allies in DT and my friends in NoR.

Good luck Hawkeye and TTK hopefully this grouping will be a vest in the water and not a rock. May you all find success in your plans.

May the Thickness be with you o/ Torn

[quote name='Dochartaigh' timestamp='1348115647' post='3032110'] wtf, when did nutkase go to CSN????????? [/quote] Oh Lord Nutkase back on maroon the end is near. Congrats to all Hiya Liz
