Your government can't even control its own members. [/quote] Your comment is valuable to us; our establishment takes pride in satisfying everyone on a personal basis. Your concerns will be reviewed by the proper authorities and actions will be taken to resolve your issue(s) in an expedient manner.

Good to see someone with principles and responsibility finally fix FOK. I had many issues with the previous runners of FOK such as

[quote name='Rebel Virginia' date='28 May 2010 - 08:36 PM' timestamp='1275100568' post='2315201'] Actually I believe you're mistaken. Based on Facepunch's conduct in their DoE many people saw the alliance for what it is. A bad taste was left in many mouths. So I imagine most people are rather relieved to see that Facepunch has casts its lot in with GOONS', who are firmly in your camp. Yes, that's right. Facepunch is your problem. Good luck. [/quote] Yes, because if FP hadn't allied with us plebs they would have forced a treaty down an unwilling and more noble alliance's throat. Great logic there.

[quote name='Lord Brendan' date='24 May 2010 - 08:11 PM' timestamp='1274753498' post='2310800'] This is a bizarre thread. Ungern made a fairly reasonable prediction based on his observations, Syn went totally !@#$% insane over it and then it was Ungern who apologized. [/quote] GOONS being rational and level-headed? I don't envy the cognitive dissonance this thread has produced in people.

[quote name='Syn' date='23 May 2010 - 08:19 AM' timestamp='1274624367' post='2309049'] Actually, we have a great relationship with the GOONS leaders. It's just that this member in particular decided to dick-wave. (I've never seen him on IRC or anything either) [/quote] This. I hadn't heard of Facepunch before this thread but you guys sound like the people I want to see on CN. My pseudo tween alliance groupie philosophy crap was exactly that and I hope you won't e-grudge me over it. I sure won't.

I had no idea ktarthan was so eloquent. Great announcement and the flag turned out awesome; I know how much you worked on it. I'm looking forward to doing the grenade and stripes justice

It doesn't have anything to do with anything, but I appreciate it anyway. [quote name='Syn' date='22 May 2010 - 02:32 PM' timestamp='1274560358' post='2308337'] Yeah, man, you were right. We're done for. (also: nice speculation there, broski mcbroski) [/quote] If you were in anyway offended by my first post it was not my intention. I reviewed the entire FP roster while searching for trades and I noticed many FP nations hadn't bought any tech, soldiers, land, infra or collected taxes. Then I predicted what would happen, something I enjoy doing. (also: allow me to enhance your reading comprehension) [quote]The overwhelming majority of FP have not collected taxes since they started and [b]I assume[/b] that they don't know about sledding. A month from now there won't be many left [b]if I'm right[/b].[/quote]

Your flag looks an awful lot like a swastika. Is that the "New" part of your Christian Order? And you're never done doing new things, like abandoning your newly created alliance. You haven't done that yet.

I offer my congratulations to everyone involved in handling this mistaken raid incident. Its good to see we still have the common sense to handle situations through diplomacy; there is no need for bloodshed

The overwhelming majority of FP have not collected taxes since they started and I assume that they don't know about sledding. A month from now there won't be many left if I'm right.

[quote name='Rebel Virginia' date='20 May 2010 - 02:57 PM' timestamp='1274389038' post='2305682'] As I have already mentioned, this is a public matter and I am part of the public. Furthermore, there are no unconcerned parties anymore, as an abuse against one alliance, if the precedent is allowed to be set, will soon be done against others. And finally, I have always held NV in the highest regard, so this is a matter that interests me personally. [/quote]The only precedent I seeing being set was the OP was told to get out from her own discussion. By the alliance she was claiming to be sticking up for.

You're a false analogy

[quote name='Chief Savage Man' date='19 May 2010 - 12:17 PM' timestamp='1274293011' post='2303524'] I'd be flattered if I was Methrage. Nobody would pay 90 million for me. [/quote] His friends have payed a lot more than that. They will probably continue to do so in the future; the entertainment he gives them in return is payment enough.

I really would've liked if he had called himself "METHRAGE" in all caps or just METH. Why call yourself something like methrage and not fire up the CAPSLOCK? You want to be taken seriously?

[quote name='Wad of Lint' date='19 May 2010 - 09:30 AM' timestamp='1274282991' post='2303374'] I would expect counter-attacks for a while. Likely to stop at ZI if not before. I would not expect attacks after that point, nor would I expect to pay outrageous sums of money for them to cease. [/quote] You misread him completely. But I'll bite: You sound like a rational person which is why you can't look at this from your own perspective. You don't expect them to cease at all since you've solicited aid from your friends and are still fighting. You want them to give up so you can get away clean (after being told repeatedly you won't). Until of course, someone sues for peace on your behalf. EDIT: beaten twice over

A word of advice for Unity Front: You should contact TUF saying you want to merge w/ the condition they change to your flag. This is the only reasonable solution to your naming problem.

[quote name='Rebel Virginia' date='19 May 2010 - 05:41 AM' timestamp='1274269249' post='2303237'] I don't believe we'd be seeing people calling GOONS immature if they were capable of responding to valid criticisms of their alliance's policies and actions without resorting to to cutesy wutesy comments and personal attacks.

[quote name='Rebel Virginia' date='19 May 2010 - 05:41 AM' timestamp='1274269249' post='2303237'] My dislike of GOONS is far from petty. I criticize all alliances I see mimicking the policies once used by the NPO and its allies. GOONS is by no means alone in its abuse of the power structure. However, it is one of the most vocal and also one of the most blatant offenders. Thus they often tend to get more attention than is warranted, but if you look around you'll see the same people attacking GOONS here are also against GOD, Athens, \m/, PC, and many other abusive powers in today's world. [/quote] If GOONS would have had the same power as NPO there would have been a lot more abuse. It's kind of unfair to say we're mimicking them them when we never had the same opportunities that they did.
