    You know what? I'm actually fine with this. I don't hate anyone in your alliance and I'm sure my fellow Sith can say the same. They probably don't hold you guys in high regard, though. But I'm happy that out of all of the GATO officials, you spoke the truth. I appreciate straight forward honesty.

    Cmon, you can do better than that. GATO is a 100% democratically elected alliance. Every member of GATO had a vote in their government therefore they voted for this leadership and this decision in crisis. If there was worry that this could happen, better diligence should have been paid during the election campaigns as to what certain stances would be when faced with an split decision on war.

    [b][center][Color=#004ce0]Well actually, due to recent issues, two of the current Ministers, including myself, were appointed.

    Regardless, it wasn't like there was an up and down vote over the entire alliance on this matter. Fact is things lined up one way, and we fell to the most beneficial side. I can't speak for the other officials, Omni and SirSci and congress were likely angry about getting this info from a third party, and cancelled the treaty because of that.

    I'm here to speak for myself, and what I saw. GATOans were getting ready for war, waiting for the word from Gov. Our Allies were against us going in, and some were likely declaring on NSO with RoK, and upon thinking about that and GATO's needs I shamelessly gave my approval. Period. That is all I came to say: that GATO members were ready, and their Gov turned this down. My reason for being against it was complete cowardice, and I can live with that.

    Omni, and the rest of Gov likely had their own reasons, far more noble than mine. They acted due to what they felt was right, legal, and just. I just came to own up to this, and let NSO know that I did it because I felt it was best for GATO.

    If it is any reconciliation, I likely won't ever get elected because of these posts. [/color][/center][/b]

    [b][center][Color=#004ce0]I want to say a few things, to clear up the current misconception about GATO, or GATOans, being cowards.

    The military command was scrambled, messages were sent, the private lobby was packed full, and people were ready to do their collects, buy up military, last minute wonders, ect. They were literally waiting for the heads up from GATO gov and a DoW. GATO was ready, and many GATOans wanted to go to war for NSO. Some GATOans saw it as an inevitability and welcomed it.

    This decision wasn't made by GATO, but by it's elected officials. As you all know sometimes elected officials don't speak for the majority well. I want to take partial responsibility for this, because I had access to many of the conversations, logs, ect, and when this came about, I rubber stamped my approval. It's my job to care about the internal affairs of GATO, and I didn't think this was good or right for the alliance, and I shamelessly gave my approval.

    This move is legal.
    This move was correct in its execution.
    This move was, on my part, entirely to save GATO's tail end. It was inherently cowardly, even though I was prepared for war.

    NSO, I threw you under the bus; I don't apologize; and it has nothing to do with you as people. If anyone is to be hated, hate me, or hate GATO gov, don't hate the actual GATOans who were actually ready to burn their nations to the ground for you.

    Sincerely,
    Lanore, GATO MoDA. [/color][/center][/b]

    [color="#9932CC"][b]As a fairly new GATOan I have been a collector of Mentors. Omni and Timlee have mentored me in FA; Manis_B and Clockwise have mentored me in Finance; Abdur mentored me in recruitment; Kirke of OBR mentored me in trades.

    These have been my mentors so far. They have been great and helpful beyond comparison.[/b][/color]

    Paraphrased from the game docs: 300,000 NS is worth one point, and having 0.3% of the nations in the game (currently 70) is worth one point. So a tiny new nation is worth between 0.01 and 0.02, but my nation is worth about 0.5. That's why elite build alliances go up and down by a lot if they gain or lose members.
    [/quote]
    [color="#9932CC"][b]I see. So by loosing 3-5 members in a day, we are loosing between 0.03 ( at 0.01 points and 3 members ) - 0.1 ( at 5 members at 0.02 points ) points per day.

    Considering that we have been breaking even, or making marginal gains over that, makes me feel a bit more safe in our long term growth.

    Edit: Thanks so much for the answer Bob![/b][/color]

    [b][color="#9932CC"]Exactly how much does one member add to score, and how much does NS add to score?

    The reason I ask is because now that we have such a large portion of members deleting from the recruitment contest, it seems that it is hard to keep growth ahead of the daily losses. I was hoping to get some numbers or something, because I am a sucker for math. >.> Any helpful responses are appreciated. [/color][/b]

  19. After Three Years You'd Think We'd Have Found the Right Castle

    You're a year and a half behind MK. Better start catching up. :smug:

    Congrats guys. It's been interesting working with you guys the last 6 months.

    I was wondering when some lame GATOan would come say this. It's pretty bad when our main gimmick is that we are old and crotchety. It's like that annoying grandpa/uncle who has incredibly out of touch social values based on the old days, who always ruins family get-togethers.

    In all seriousness though, o/

  20. A new opinion poll

    in Open World RP

    Posted · Edited by Lanore

    As a member of GATO, I am fairly new to the alliance. I don't know much about what actually went down in history. I only get to hear stories about it here or there.

    What I can say, is the GATO is an unbelievably great community. I've only been here for two months and I know I will likely never leave GATO. I will gladly fight with them, and my nation will burn to the ground for them.

  23. Two Networks

    in Question Center

    Posted

    When I read the title, I thought that you were going to ask about what happens if a person literally has two different connections in the same house.

    If the connections are separate, ( aka, two different bills, IPs, ect ) then could there be two accounts, so long as they never log on the same connection?

    To answer your question though, yeah, there is a possibility you could get flagged if your buddy plays and you aid each other ect, to my knowledge.

  25. Several Black Trade Circles

    in Trading Harbor

    Posted

    Hey there, I came to give warning in advance. One of GATO's team senators moved to another alliance, and so we had to bring a member from the black sphere to brown to replace him. The new Senator needs a trade circle, and I'm being called on to fill one of the resource slots. I'm going to have to drop the circle I am currently in.

    I won't quit until I absolutely have to, so as to give you more time to find a replacement and give a bit more convenience to those in the circle at this moment. I apologize so much for this, it happened out of the blue, and I need to do it for my alliance. I hate to leave like this.
