    It has been a long 157 days...especially for HT.  I would especially like to thank Clash of Discord for not only fighting with honor, but making the decimation of my own pixels somewhat fun. Also, it is MUCH appreciated that when I had to deal with a health crisis of one of my kids, that all attacks ceased. Thank you. 

     

    That's just sporting right there.  Good on'em, and hope your kid is all good.

    I was also in college when I was the leader of my first nation here... 2006 seems so long ago.

    Oh my.  2006 seems like yesterday.  EVERYTHING seems like it was 2 years ago.

  11. Recognition of Hostilities with Aevrum

    in Alliance Announcements (IC)

    Posted

    Welcome to dealing with Methrage, Nordreich.  Your words of reason will be wasted.

     

    I was sympathetic to him in his dealings with GOONs.  Couldn't see why he irritated them so.  Why not just leave him alone?

     

    Then I had my own dealings with him, and I remember Ken Morningstar (or maybe Sardonic, I can't recall) PM'd me with a simple phrase:  "Now you understand."  And he was right.

    And now YOU understand.

     

    But allow me to tell you how this end:  you will reduce him to a level to where you can no longer hit him.  Not only is he no longer a threat, but it is impossible to hit him, and too much trouble and effort for you to bother anymore, so you will move on.  He grovels in the private channel, but boasts endlessly of the OWF.  And because you never got him to say the words "I surrender" -- because the mechanics of this world don't allow occupation occupation of a defeated nation -- he will fly the "Undefeated because I never surrendered" flag. Maybe even claim victory. He may actually even believe it.  

     

    I'm just telling you your rational explanations and reasoning are basically for the OWF audience, NOT Meth.  If not, you are wasting your time here.  Whether the it's the greatest IC performance ever -- or true delusion -- is really irrelevant.  The show is the show, and it will go on.  

  13. Nordreich Declaration of War on AGW Overlords

    in Alliance Announcements (IC)

    Well. AGWO is one of those alliances I instinctively like (for no real reason -- zero dealings with them, no real OWF presence, they just rub me the right way).  Hard to say Nordreich jumped the gun on this one, however -- diplomacy first, and decent homework to follow it up.  In my heart of hearts I suspect that AGWO is suffering from inactivity and a member who doesn't recognize when he's being stupid, but that ain't Nordreich's fault.  Seems like all the boxes got checked here.  Hopefully AGWO gets active and fixes this.

    I've been keeping my mouth shut for a while on this whole matter but I really can't anymore. Meth, the difference between you and sigrun is that he knew when to shut up and go hide in a corner and let me deal with things. You had an easy out when this whole mess blew up.

     

    While I would alter the quote above, I will say that in my dealings with Caustic related to the Meth-o-Sphere (and one or two other  issues), he was reasonable and not hard to deal with.  Which is not to say we always agreed, but when met with reason, he responded with reason.  You kind of needed this brake shoe between you and the world, Meth.

  20. An Imperial Remnant announcment

    Congrats on taking it as far as it could go, fellas.  Always liked you guys, even when things went a bit south between us during The Crimson Army scare (which as a far as honestly know was only a scare -- if it ever amounted to more that a figment of Sigrun's imagination, it certainly never materialized into anything). 

     

    Best of luck to Ace, Doornail and the rest in the Freehold.

  23. Why do micros sign treaties?

    Micros are an adorable and lovable aspect of Planet Bob. They have tremendous character development, more personal wars, and have a better track record of doing what they'd like to do, rather than reading from a script.

     

     

    Agreed here.  It's like a different game down here -- wars usually have a valid CB, there is a personal reason to fight, beyond "well, it's that time of year again".
     

    Personally, my treaties throughout the years have been with alliances whose leaders were reasonable and could be trusted, and had zero to do with political jockying, which is what most macro treaties seem to be based on.  That is to say, they wouldn't drag me into a war over something stupid or embarrassing -- if I had to fight, it wouldn't be for something I'd roll my eyes over. Before things went bad with Meth, he often tried to get a treaty between us.  I declined because his foreign policy was erratic and he ended up in a number of wars over things I considered trivial.  Lulu of PPO, however, was a pretty straight shooter, and I didn't hesitate to seek him out (after I fought him, of course).  In fact, MOST of the alliances I treatied were subsequent to fighting them -- a good way to see an alliance's character.  (The exception being our treaty AT R&R,because I felt evidence showed SRA did them dirty once and we owed them one).

     

    Argent was always on my list, but I was spurned -- SPURNED, I tell you -- by @James Spanier.

    Creative writing can only go so far. It's the stats that matter and seeing AMs early downward dive is hilarious, because once that snowball starts rolling it just keeps on compounding.

     

     

     

    Well, some would counter that fire is needful to him who is come in and whose knees are frozen; food and rainment a man requires, who o’er the fell has travelled.
