[quote name='omfghi2u2' timestamp='1330701370' post='2931952']
You're right, I didnt check how many GOONS nations was in his range, I just assumed with all the chest-thumping and cries for war from your side that he would have been dogpiled by now. My mistake. Though maybe you should tell the one GOON nation in peace mode who actually CAN fight him to actually fight him?

Check his alliance seniority. He's a visitor. He has diplomatic plates. And technically that would qualify as "calling in allies" and allow for totally different (equally hilarious) whines.

I am rooting for gantanx taking #1 in the casualties race. But it seems like GOONS is too afraid to declare on him.

We're too cowardly to declare on him? Hang on, let me go rectify that by messaging all the people in his range. Oh wait, his range is 63k-112k? It seems we only have one nation in that range. Which he's already fighting. Let me double-check. Does cowardice prevent your nation strength from changing to whatever is convenient? That must be why we haven't attacked him yet.

6? Sheesh.
EDITED TO ADD: Do I remember reading that they "blitzed" you with 3 this afternoon? So they've only had 3 more since then? Wow. That's a busted smack/action ratio.

Update on the war situation as of reset:
Kaskus aggressive wars on GOONs: 6 (half belong to one guy; at least he's trying)
GOONs aggressive wars on Kaskus: 8
They've got us right where they want us. Backed into a corner. I expect we'll be surrendering momentarily.

Are you trying to be funny? You never involved yourself in the war with Tetris or Legion.[/quote]
We didn't have to. You fled the alliance before it was even feasible. You ran from a war that didn't even happen.

From what I've seen about Kaskus, I would think that if GOONS wants Reps they are going to have fight a very long time.

A long-duration war [i][b]and[/b][/i] reps? That's what we live for.

[quote name='Methrage' timestamp='1330617318' post='2931307']
I would never skew a fact, I'm shocked you would accuse me of such a thing.
9>6
GOONs - 9 nations in peace mode
Kaskus - 6 nations in peace mode
9 is greater than 6, therefore GOONS have more peace mode nations than Kaskus. Its simple math really.
[/quote]
I was going to do this whole thing where I compare my individual nation to the stats of Kaskus and point out how I'm going to single-handedly defeat them because I have 0 nations in peace and 0 in anarchy, but the only person who needs the concept of ratios explained to them is you. So if you really don't get it, you can PM me.

[quote name='Methrage' timestamp='1330615752' post='2931292']
9 is still a bigger number than 6 regardless of how you try to twist the numbers to make yours seem smaller, not like it matters either way though.
[/quote]
This is a deliberate fact-skew and has nothing to do with anything.

[quote name='Methrage' timestamp='1330613644' post='2931262']
GOONS have 50% more nations in peace mode than Kaskus, so the peace mode jokes coming from you guys are funny. Kaskus only has 6 in peace mode, compared to 9 GOONS nations hiding in peace from the stats I'm seeing.
[/quote]
I'm not sure if you noticed this, but Kaskus has 14 nations and GOONs has 215. We have 4% in peace mode and Kaskus has 43%.

I for one am impressed by your military prowess of declaring on someone with zero troops, no nukes and in defcon 5 without GC's, wicked result getting the anarchy with another person having to help you. Good job, keep up the hard work.
[/quote]
Beggars can't be choosers. He's the only nation in range. The other two guys I'm fighting (used to) have 3x my infra. Also that D5 is from me spying him.

In other news, Kaskus manages a staggering 3 offensive declarations within the first 30 minutes of war.

Don't worry, I'm helping out. mrwuss and I declared on a Kaskus war virgin and anarchied him.

He said he would quit GOONS if you guys call in allies, I was pointing out that is what GOONS normally does, so its a new found trait he cares about if his post is sincere.
[/quote]
No we don't. We just have friends that like to fight as much as we do. And are happy to take any excuse to fight. We didn't "call in allies" during Roguefest. People came to us and asked if they could have a piece of that. Same thing when Timeline decided to rogue (actually, NG just chipped in without asking, which is totes okay with us). I think the last time we legitimately asked anyone to assist was when we had to destroy the 7th largest nation in the game. And only for obvious reasons. The only goon even close to that guy was Umar (Umar did get to fight at least). I even made a blog about this that sailed over everyone's head. Additionally, we like letting our friends help because A) we're friends and it improves alliance relations, and B) it makes people so very, very mad.

Only around half of them have nukes, everyone can you see you guys are having a hard time here and performing poorly this war. How long before you guys call in assistance if you haven't already is the only thing up in the air still.
[/quote]
Ugh. You're incredibly bad at this. Maybe do even the slightest bit of research before claiming we're losing. Let me break it down for you:
Nations owning an MP:
http://www.cybernations.net/nation_drill_display.asp?Nation_ID=423414 - 2 wars (2 total)
http://www.cybernations.net/nation_drill_display.asp?Nation_ID=324487 - 5 wars (7 total)
http://www.cybernations.net/nation_drill_display.asp?Nation_ID=311377 - 5 wars (12 total)
http://www.cybernations.net/nation_drill_display.asp?Nation_ID=310634 - 5 wars (17 total)
http://www.cybernations.net/nation_drill_display.asp?Nation_ID=453265 - 4 wars (21 total)
http://www.cybernations.net/nation_drill_display.asp?Nation_ID=322828 - 5 wars (26 total)
http://www.cybernations.net/nation_drill_display.asp?Nation_ID=459244 - 6 wars (32 total)
http://www.cybernations.net/nation_drill_display.asp?Nation_ID=301708 - 6 wars (38 total)
http://www.cybernations.net/nation_drill_display.asp?Nation_ID=419699 - 5 wars (43 total)
http://www.cybernations.net/nation_drill_display.asp?Nation_ID=419428 - 6 wars (49 total)
http://www.cybernations.net/nation_drill_display.asp?Nation_ID=432434 - 3 wars (52 total)
http://www.cybernations.net/nation_drill_display.asp?Nation_ID=383155 - 3 wars (55 total)
http://www.cybernations.net/nation_drill_display.asp?Nation_ID=337572 - 3 wars (58 total)
http://www.cybernations.net/nation_drill_display.asp?Nation_ID=434808 - 3 wars (61 total)
Obviously and undoubtedly there's overlap there (I don't care enough or have the patience to make a list of non-repeating nations), but the point is they have the potential to anarchy 61 nations without having any skill or talent whatsoever. We have 44 anarchies. It's entirely possible they didn't attain a single legitimate anarchy. And as a counterpoint, I'm in 2 wars and not in anarchy. [i][b]And[/b][/i] even if half those are repeats and they got 14 legitimate anarchies, anarchies are probably one of the worst units of measurement as far as "winning a war" goes as you can get.

For sure it will be fun when they decide to come back.

This almost makes me want to force Sardonic to make you pay more reps the longer you wait to attack us. Anticipation tax.

[quote name='Omniscient1' timestamp='1330548978' post='2930753']
Do you have an example in which they went to war while the outcome wasn't certain? Overall it doesn't matter, because I've spoken about this situation over and over again and I always get the same answers.
[/quote]
I can give you a vague answer that won't really help. I can't think of any possible group that we'd have any reason to fight where we probably couldn't win. Essentially, all the people who oppose us have much weaker political and military strength. Even when they form giant coalitions of normally unaligned alliances to try and take us down. In other words, you say we're weak or cowardly because we only fight in wars we know we can win. But there haven't been any wars we don't know we can win.

It is, however, inconsistent with the views expressed by other members of your government during the issue with MONGOLS, namely that a war and a tech raid are the same thing.[/quote]
They're the same thing as far as how they relate to our policies. But if it's yours or Schat's point that a gov member said something contradictory, I'm curious to hear: which gov member was expressing this view?

You haven't really been around long enough to know this, but they aren't really MONGOLS lovers. They're just GOONs haters. It doesn't matter who we're opposing or what the situation is.

Only if they have enough power to do so. If it's someone even halfway scary they'll just sweep it under the rug, or not invite them to some color bloc.
[/quote]
I'm curious what wars we chickened out of. We'd go to war all the time if we could get away with it. Sardonic can tell you we're constantly trying to get him to ease up on his rules so we can hit more people. The thing is, there are political gates that prevent us from just attacking whoever we want without good reason. And even if we do have a really good reason, people complain about how we shouldn't've gone to war. In threads like this one.
