As it turns out, Legion's not been as on board with RFI as the rest of RFI pretended they were.
A fair criticism, though I'll contend that the severity of the two is not even close to being equal.

Watching you rewrite history to include yourself is quite cute.
That war ended in white peace because Polaris, then a part of the hegemony, stepped in and said it wasn't OK, and the rest of the hegemony, seeking to preserve their hegemony, acquiesced to Polaris' will. It was not because NG/COBRA drew that conflict to a stalemate.
But, I must say, very nice try, lol.2 minutes ago, Johnny Apocalypse said:Yes it ended because Oculus and Polar ally Legion neglected to fulfill their treaty obligation regarding the sharing of intelligence when they decided to collectively jump on both of our heads- specifically Non Grata because you were and remain allies. As a result, Polar stepped in to ensure the conflict was brought to a close or else Polar would have militarily defended Non Grata. The hegemony reluctantly acquiesed because they could not afford to lose another ally in Polar as FTW were already on their way out of the RFI bloc. They launched a war on intel acquired via dubious means and had not the capital to follow through without losing clout. It was after that war that space opened up for a coalition like RFD to begin working towards the war we just fought in.
If they'd just jumped on COBRA then we'd have been screwed, if they had just jumped on NG then COBRA and our allies would have rode to your defense at the time because we were still allied. That's why our allies ended up launching a counter-offensive when literally none of your allies except for Polar stepped up offering to do the same. At the time we collectively considered you to be friends, this obviously changed pretty rapidly in the aftermath of that war as you well know.
I was at the negotiating table with Stewie, I don't need to write myself into a history I'm already a part of.
Close, but not quite. Pacifica and IRON, out of frustration, had already written off Polar when they intervened, and RFI had infrastructure in place for responding to a Polar counter before the war even started (because unlike Oculus we observed two years prior that Polaris was not as on board with Oculus as the rest of their bloc pretended they were).
The issue was that the Legion didn't want to see Polar on the other side, so at their urging to RFI the summit meeting was agreed to. There was, at no point, a consideration of 'preserving the hegemony' involved, it was RFI's consideration for the Legion. That is why Pacifica and IRON said basically nothing throughout the procedure. Had the peace summit produced a result that was deemed unacceptable, the war would have continued, however Buuyo managed to work with deathbiter and myself to come up with what was ultimately signed. That's why there was outrage over the "super clever maneuver" of trying to avoid adhering to the intent of including GATO and Argent in the Boognish counter declares (the actual DoWs, not individual nations wars). It had nothing to do with "oh no they're dogpiling CLAWS!" and everything to do with the Legion knowing full well that it was going to undo the peace deathbiter had burned a ton of his own political capital to secure.
Lyanna's late night decision to "fix" that issue was the thing that ultimately secured that peace you very nearly torpedoed without even realizing it.

Ah I remember the fun against Jerel and Devon, Sure it was the most lopsided war in CN but I only lost 35-37K Tech and now in a better place!
Tech is evil.

Ah, I scrolled back to see if it has already been reported and missed your (but definitely saw the one above and below it), whoops.

I went to check when I could launch nukes at one of my targets and the regular launch screen was displayed. Upon checking it was only for this war:

I reached out to my opponent and they said they have the same thing:
We speculated that it may be because we'd previously fought each other, but all three of my wars are redeclares, and only this one shows up this way.
Also, when attempting to launch it reads:

Shouldn't we be having elections every 4 months? I think Lowsten needs to be reminded of the charter rules.
Yeah we're holding a vote on the forums as we speak, I've currently got 100% approval.

No flag, not valid.

Big fan of this announcement.

Sounds like it is time to upgrade your targeting systems
I heard deleting your Manhattan Project and rebuying it can fix it. Same for bad SDI's, just scrap it and rebuy!

Best of luck to our allies in Polar! Not that you really need luck with this one...
You say that, but one Sparta nation's SDI bounced eight of my nukes in a row, so luck is always a factor.

Congratulations Sys, if the few interactions I've had with you are anything to go off of this is well deserved!

If Argent is so relevant, then why did GATO do the declaration?

Sheeeeeeesh. RIP Argent, was nice knowing you lol.1 minute ago, lilweirdward said:Time to shut the thread down, we're done here folks. Xin has won.
I assure you there IS an explanation! See the last time I posted a DoW I screwed up the post so badly Janax told me I'm not allowed to post DoWs again.

Rest assured, they will do so anyway.

Oh please. We did exactly what our allies asked of us, and now we are here while y’all are where? How do you even factor into this situation? Oh that’s right, you don’t.That's fine, you can do what your allies asked of you, that's what I'm doing too! But you didn't resign yourself to a corner during your waiting period, so why are you asking others to do so when you're only three and a half hours into having "done something" yourselves?
