[quote name='ChairmanHal' timestamp='1285206853' post='2461650']So when will the bloc be declared? Seems a minor formality really. [/quote]As soon as we come up with a catchy name for it.

[quote name='Bavaricar' timestamp='1285199602' post='2461505'] I think you know there is no international law here, just mob rule. That's why it's pointless to call anyone a rogue since if your alliance were held to similar standards it also would fit the definition. [/quote]No that just means your definition is dumb.

[quote name='Bavaricar' timestamp='1285199063' post='2461486'] A rogue is merely an unpredictable actor or one who does not abide by international law. By either standard, the GOON alliance is a good example alliance. What is that simpering I hear, you say there is no such thing as rogue alliances on Bob, only rogue nations? [/quote]What international laws have we broken?

[quote name='Methrage' timestamp='1285198904' post='2461481'] He's not the only one who has been getting sent bogus aid offers to see what people are doing with their slots, plenty of innocent nations have had their privacy infringed by you guys as well. [/quote]Oh [i]please.[/i] It's investigation. It doesn't hurt anyone and if it [i]doesn't[/i] turn up anything incriminating then we literally get nothing out of it. Stop acting like we kicked in their door and stripped their beds and gave them cavity searches. We haven't spied anyone whom we weren't already sure was aiding you. If we do incorrectly spy someone then we can talk. Until then your message is hopeless bunkum.

[quote name='potato' timestamp='1285176823' post='2461129'] Oh god. This argument again? I'll spell it out once more then... Any time someone helps Methrage, GOONS tell us because they're good allies. Almost immediately, MK, Umbrella, PC, iFOK, GOD and the rest of GOONS' allies are fighting each other to get a piece of the rogue. And GOONS, being good allies, let us. You can call them cowards for that all you want though, just like you can look like a moron all you want in the process. I call it being a good ally. [/quote]Our detractors are incapable of reading these words. They are as if a cipher to them because they do not fit into the convenient fantasy world which they have constructed that gives them the moral high ground. Stop wasting electricity. There are starving kids in third world countries that need it to heat their hot pickets.

[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? War is only fought against a weaker opponent? Yeah, that makes sense but that's not my point. GOONS claims to love fighting and that losing infra doesn't bother them. Yet they consistently attack smaller nations who cannot fight back and then use their allies to help them reduce the damage they would receive. [/quote]Keep grasping at those straws. Maybe you'll have enough to build some kind of human effigy with them. A...strawman if you will.

[quote name='kulomascovia' timestamp='1285175317' post='2461097'] Most of you like to attack smaller nations and brag about being "bad" on the OWF. If you guys really liked war then you would be attacking nations that actually have the ability to fight back. You also wouldn't get your allies help you place sanctions. In fact, didn't one of you say that you guys nuked a nation to minimize damage? I'm not sure that shows how much you love to fight. [/quote]If you love something you'll share it with your friends.

[quote name='pezstar' timestamp='1285173345' post='2461058'] I truly do not understand what it is that GOONS did to half the Cyberverse in order to have people literally sitting in their threads, lambasting them for doing something about people knowingly and purposefully aiding a nation they are at war with. Since the creation of the planet, this has been exactly what every alliance has done. Let's go through the facts. -GOONS states that aiding Methrage is an act of war. -GOONS makes it clear that doing so will result in either attacks or at least 90M in reps. -People aid Methrage. -Folks get all up in arms about GOONS sticking to their word. I mean, really, folks. What in the world is wrong with everyone? You can't really say that the reps amount is excessive at this point, because it isn't deterring anyone from doing it. So what is it? [/quote]Because GONS that's why

You have read this thread and seen that there are already people lining up to fight you, right? This whole "begging our allies" thing is the most hilarious kind of passive aggressive attack. Our friends love us when this happens. They were queued up the moment that UOKMB declared on us, and the same applies here.

It's Christmas in Goonland! edit: I cannot stop laughing

Yes but you need the full picture: T-shirt with three wolves howling at the moon Cheeto stained fingers <---CRUCIAL Anime wall scrolls Self-Diagnosed Aspergers syndrome. Though I imagine that's hard to visually represent Come on. We're trying to elevate the discourse here.

[quote name='ChairmanHal' timestamp='1285159568' post='2460882'] An alliance that maintains a "mercy board" on its forums so that small alliances and non-aligned nations can plea for peace should not make this statement. The irony cannot be contained on Planet Bob.[/quote]Sure we can. We don't assume that our actions have immunity from fallout; in fact there are direct consequences from every action we take. Most of the time they involve our enemies hating us more and our allies loving us more, so those seem like acceptable terms. We aren't paralyzed by fear from the possible consequences of our policies.

That's completely unrealistic The GOONS member should be wearing a wolf shirt.

You should join GOONS. Also more nukes please. My citizens were getting use to the glow.

You're my favorite, kirbyfake

[quote name='thekirbyfake' timestamp='1284930853' post='2458413']Has au202 told ye he's weakening me military? He's had 4 failed GA and left half of his warchest littering up me streets. I think he might have done a couple of CM. They tickled. [/quote]That doesn't surprise anyone. au202 tried to scam us and we kicked his teeth in too. It's his nature. He's not so much a ship as he be a phenomenon, an element of the ecosystem same as RUKUNU and Methrage.

This piece, as with my others, is based on actual events. The names have not been changed to protect the parties involved.

It's after midnight. Moonless. The starlight deadened by stormclouds. Rain needles down in sheets that buffet the dock and churn the shorewater. Only the hardiest guards can stand to be out in it, and even they are hunkered down in their slickers under the cover of squat shipping crates left waiting for their truant cargo ships held off the coast of Hyggebo by the storm. The gale screams into the black morning, and through the maelstrom comes the intruder. He rises from the water beneath one of the far piers. He wraps his elbow around the rung of the access ladder and strips off his SCUBA gear, which he lets fall into the water below. One rung at a time he pulls himself through the downpour and rolls silently onto the wooden slats, crouching low like a wolf spider. His camouflage is an inky blue, dark like the bottom of the ocean and the night swallows him whole. He moves. He is unarmed, but that is soon rectified. He slides around a cargo container and in a single deft motion wraps his forearm around the mouth of a watchman delirious from the storm and with his other sinks the four inch carbide blade of his folding recon knife into the man's right kidney. He can almost feel it pop. Shock washes over the guard like a cold tide and his skin pales and his hands shake, and then they stop shaking. He evacuates. The intruder strips him off his sidearm, ammunition, rations and, last of all, his cigarettes and a silver lighter with the words "UOKMB Unified Military" emblazoned on its finish. He throws the guard into the surf. He carefully peels a film from the top of his suit. The dark blue camo pulls away like cellophane, revealing a matte gray outfit underneath. No name. No insignia but for a black grenade born on his shoulder. He's an ocean and half a continent away from Bronti Laos, but strange as he is in this strange land he presses on, moving phantomlike into the heart of the complex. Hyggebo has recalled its military and secured it one and all in the depths of its territory. That alone is the reason for this man's intrusion. He screws a silencer onto the end of his foraged sidearm. To address a problem, you use the one proper tool. A sharp knife. A few bullets and a suppressor. To destroy an army you raise a force greater than its own. But when a country hides its soldiers and leaves its boarders helpless, a single man can do the work in the hours between twilight and sunrise. The correct tool. The sidearm coughs and another guard crumples into a pile. He reaches the dead man and searches him. Ammunition. Grenades. Pills. A rolled up girly-mag stuffed into his back pocket. A lanyard around his neck holds an access card and the intruder yanks it free. He's in. Just one man and a pack of semtex. They're building tanks. Big ones, ones that walk with supercomputer brains. Hyggebo's science far exceeds Bronti Laos's but wanderlust fails to strike him. Security is tense but inefficient. He bursts from lockers and shanks watchmen in the back. Picks them off in isolation. Over the course of two hours he systematically depopulates the entire facility. Coldly, wordlessly. He pauses in a bathroom and smokes. He thumbs through the girly-mag. He smothers the butt in its glossy pages and crams it into a toilet bowl in which he has just drowned the head of research and development for the base. He's a haunting. By the time anyone figures it out it'stoo late . They send spies to bring him down. Specialists. A sniper. A machine gunner. A gunslinger. A spymaster. A commander. Another hour passes and they're all dead, the hallways and factory floors where they chose to make their stands turned into de facto tombs to their inadequacy. The pride of Hyggebo turned on its head and smashes out like a used dogend. A senseless waste of life expunged in the manner befitting its value. His demolitions are placed. It hardly seems to matter now. The factory is a ghost town, but the machines continue to toil away independent of their controllers. Left to their own devices they would happily build war machines into perpetuity, but GOONS has other ideas. Their soldier decked the halls with semtex affixed to stress points. Their remote fuses blink on and off like macabre decorations in perfect synchronization. Staring down one of the darkened corridors, they seem as it red eyes winking in the shadows. Daybreak comes. The storm is settled. He commandeers a motorboat and sits off shore, fingering the switch on the radio detonator. The facility looks like an ugly and profane temple, an altar to the nation's false god now burning in the morning sun like fire fallen from Sinai. He turns the safety key and without a second thought flicks the detonation switch. Millions of dollars. Hundreds of tanks. Spies and personnel and all the technology and infrastructure tied up in the skunkworks. All of it heaves upwards from the water in which it is planted as a coordinated cascade of explosions rip it off its foundations. If there was anyone left alive they'd be panicking. But the one soldier is the sole witness as the factory lists like a sinking ship and in minutes disappears beneath the water, dragging its ruin into the rocky shelf. He smokes. He chews a stolen ration. He waits for the boiling deathroes to end, and when they do he turns and charges the motor and sails westerward.

You get points for classy source material but lose them for minimal effort, going so far as to lift entire verses directly from the original without modifying them. Take a little pride in your work and come back when you're ready to tango for real.

[quote name='thekirbyfake' timestamp='1284372534' post='2452148'] You seem to think we care about our NS. We stated from the very beginning that our objective was to hurt Goons. One objective. One. As of this morning UOKMB has fired 121 successful nukes at Goons and allies. I can only speak for my own battles but I've taken 42,002 NS and lost 17,449. Interesting that you've finally appeared on a UOKMB thread, ktarthan, given it was you that bravely nuked a non-nuclear nation during a "raid" which effectively secured Goons as the target for the nukes. [/quote]ktarthan is a GOONS hero. He's been abstaining from this because he's too busy basking in the adoration we shower him with.

We obviously need to be more diligent if a small, vulnerable alliance was targeted by someone else before us.
