Wow, stop paying attention for a few days and Fark is #3! The only other Aqua alliance to get up here, I think. Well done brothers. Also, have any other spheres had more than one alliance in the top 3 before? Possibly Blue with Polar and MCXA? Orange with IRON and TOP?

[quote name='bedeur' timestamp='1296902319' post='2620369'] Well, MHA must have been quite ignorant of TFD's military capacities when they declared on them. Obviously, after losing over 1.7M NS in a few days, I don't blame Harmless to be calling these pirates to defend them Have fun PPO, and pass the rum will ya? [/quote] Does not compute. Have fun PPO!

The people of Rugby only hear of such things from their old and crazy founders who live in a cave. [OOC]I think the only possible good that came out of that event was that although the game and forums were down, a lot of members still came on IRC and our forums just to hang out and chat with each other - despite there being literally no reason to be there without our nations. It's a testament to the good communities Planet Bob can create, in contrast to the "bad" community who caused the Dark Day. I think Admin and the mods made the right decision. [OOC]

I won't hate, just wish you luck.

Glad y'all liked it, this one was a lot of fun.

o/ Fish Tank Good luck to you NATO, I only hope we can repair relations as soon as the war is over.

Question two: If one surrenders to MHA, can one still surrender to other alliances while surrendering to MHA? [/quote] Yes. Why would you want to? Their PoW camps suck. We'll give you booze and towels.

[quote name='The Big Bad' timestamp='1296651514' post='2616081'] Its nice to see MHA trying out some war propaganda. As long as no one looks at how much NS you have some how managed to lose already on the offensive I am sure they will be properly impressed. Maybe it all just wandered off looking for the meaning of life? [/quote] Oh I'm sorry, according to The Registrar Of Laughter, Lies and Smack-talk, you need to be taken out back and shot. Plus, your talk of NS bothers us not.

This Bypass will be our eighth major construction work since March 2007 and will make travel throughout the Blue and White Trading Spheres both efficient and economical. Unfortunately, in the quest for this Bypass (and you've gotta build Bypasses, remember), the nations of The Foreign Devision, We Are Perth Army, and Colossus must be flattened to make way for the new highway. Planning permits were processed and approved long ago, and the period in which Complaints could be made has since closed. We'd like to thank all those still in the effected areas for dying with dignity. We are also promoting Energy Efficient construction by recycling material from nations of Carpe Diem and The People's Community. We want to thank those from CD and TPC for providing their infra and technology towards the completion of this project. Your ponies will also be used to take our children on joyrides across the new highway. Isn't that grand?

I come to you to report on the general Prisoner of War situation. For your wartime enjoyment, I have here for you a message from the Commandant of the MHA POW camp (aka Slartibartfast 42), a Colonel Wilhelm Krikkit regarding the behavior of POW’s: [quote]“This time they have gone too far! Such insolence will not be tolerated! This is the premier POW Camp on all of Bob. I will not be made a fool! After all, never has there been a successful escape from Slartibartfast 42! What?....oh yes yes----” END TRANSMISSION [/quote] There was more to it…sadly the alarms went off at that moment and it was drowned out. The attempted escape was thwarted. When questioned as to how the prisoner in question acquired the means to attempt escape, Colonel Krikkit’s second in command feigned ignorance, claiming he knew nothing. He is currently under investigation.

After evaluating the quality of responses being used, The Registrar has come to the conclusion that the following ad hominems are now "over-used" and thus out of fashion. Please update your commentary as necessary. 1) [Enemy Alliance] fails at war. 2) [Enemy Alliance] has attacked aggressively and therefore is wrong. 3) [Enemy Alliance] is the same as [Other Enemy Alliance] 4) [Incident from Four years Ago] proves that [Enemy Alliance] is [Any Combination of the first three responses] 5) The MHA doesn't honor it's treaties. Anyone sporting such party-lines should be taken out back and shot, for the good of the community and Planet Bob as a whole.

A special war edition this week, as I venture through my drinks cabinet in an attempt to find which single bottle of spirits / liqueur I would most want to take with me into the field of battle if I could only take one... (a horrifying thought!) Lets get straight to the point: Smirnoff Vodka: Advantages; robust bottle - looks like it could give someone a nasty bruise to the back of the head if you gave them a whack with it. And lets face it, with these rifles we stole off GGA, we're gonna need to resort to hand-to-hand fighting sooner or later. It's also strong, useful for treating injuries - both by knocking one unconscious or by sterilising wounds. Finally, it makes you feel slightly like a WW2 Soviet soldier and well... they... won? Downsides? It tastes like burning - so, no worse than Mexican food. Next I move onto something fruitier: Archer's Peach Schnapps. Certainly more enjoyable. Not as strong. The bottle still looks like it could do some damage. On the downside, there is something about drinking peach schnapps in a war zone that makes you look like a bit of a... well yeah. Now onto Galliano; a lovely vanilla and herbs liqueur. Tastes lovely. Has a degree od sophistication to it. It's mere appearance would be enough to bamboozle fighters from uncultured alliances, so here's hoping *insert alliance we want to insult* get involved! Downsides; weaker looking bottle, and it hails from the Italian countryside where fighting wars has to fit around a three hour lunctime. And onto Bols blue curacao. First thing to note here; it's a blue liquid, so marks for that. I'm not entirely sure how it would work in a practical situation, but hey, it's blue! Who cares. Also, the bottles are designed perfectly for constructing petrol bombs, so once one is done drinking down the orange peel flavoured liqueur, once can simple chuck some 151 rum and a rag in, set it alight and blow up a neighbouring trench... just remember to make sure said neighbouring trench belongs to the enemy, cos one time I got slightly drunk and... well lets say I don't want to go through a court martial again any time soon. The negatives; (blowing your comrades up aside) it tastes pretty naff, comes in a small bottle (so you've less to drink quantity wise) and frankly makes you look like you're drinking liquidated Smurf. My penultimate drink; Jameson Irish whiskey. A nice sweet whiskey, in a nice looking bottle. Certainly if you're commissioned as an officer, you could do a lot worse. There's something about staggering round the battlefield drunk and holding a bottle of whiskey that I find oddly alluring... just me? Disadvantages; the bottle looks too fancy to waste on smashing in someone's head. By taking any whiskey to the battlefield as well you're bound to have to get into some kind of whiskey debate with someone and frankly, when the bullets are flying all around, the last thing you need is some alcoholic commander trying to persuade you of the benefits to a 7 year old single malt scotch which costs two hundred dollars and tastes like wood. And finally, it wouldn't be a Sub-Editor's Drinking column without gin being mentioned, ranted about and ultimately drunk in the kind of quantities that would stun an ox. So; Gordon's Gin, my choice of Gin's to take to the front. Simply, it's not too fancy, it's not even the nicest tasting. I think when you're crawling in mud, something that tastes a little harsh on the tongue and a little strong in the throat is preferable to a fine herby concoction. I don't want to waste the good stuff on the mud of the battlefield, nor to associate the taste of a fine gin with the sheer horror of seeing my pixels plummet down to that of an average *insert alliance to insult* nation. The downsides to this fine gin; well, without tonic you're wasting one of the world's greatest resources worse than American wastes oil. Also; gin on the battlefield? What are you, a British empire colonial officer? No, the best option, I'm afraid, is the truly glorious, burning taste of vodka. It's practical and harsh, blunt and painful, Russian and semi-flamable; all the adjectives one usually assigns to a good war. So Pourquoi's top tip for this war; pack a bottle of vodka in with your towel, and at the very least, whatever happens next will happen in a blur which you may remember after therapy sessions, but ultimately probably won't want to. Happy hunting, and remember; they enemy are THAT way!

Welcome to the fray and good luck. I think you'll find our permits were in order, though.

Good luck Carpe Diem and welcome to the fray.

[quote name='Ironfist' timestamp='1296440055' post='2611848'] I understand.

[quote name='mike717' timestamp='1296444687' post='2611954'] Dear MHA, congrats on honoring your treaties. i would hope that we can nuke the hell out of each other like civilized people. i, for one think every major principle alliance in this war is worthless and should burn in nuclear hellfire. I should hope you guys perform better than Sparta though. Catch you on the flip side, hopefully after i've nuked a few of you. [/quote] This dude gets it. Good luck fine sir.

[quote name='St Mungo' timestamp='1296326790' post='2609704'] Is there any Scottish folks in your Alliance. I'm fae Glasgow. I'm currenty being destroyed by TWO of your family Nations. They attack me when I am already fighting two other Wars One on one would have been fairer. Looks to me your Alliance dont belive in fighting fair. My Alliance Is the WAPA. Dose MHA hold a grudge againist WAPA. It dose look that way to me? Still we are up for a challenge. [/quote] I think there may have been once, not sure about now. Unfortunately we are in a war with WAPA, hence the my alliance mates attacking you. It's not personal, we have no grudge or ill-will towards WAPA at all, we're merely defending a friend. You are free to come to our boards or our IRC (#MHA on coldfront) if you want a friendly chat and Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster.

[quote name='Ironfist' timestamp='1296371306' post='2610727'] EDIT: And Rugby, while those two do not represent GATO as a whole (thankfully), you should probably leave your holier than thou attitude out of your posts. It doesn't reflect well on you either. [/quote] I never professed to be holier than either of them, I don't believe spirituality ever entered the debate and I dare not think what they'd have to say on the matter. I do profess to being hoopier than them, having more FUN with this than they are, and encouraging spirited debate instead of mindless generic smack talk. Is that such a crime? It's in our nature to do so. [i]I am Hitchhiker, see my towel and behold my froodiness. [/i] Besides, my initial posts to them were respectful given the tone and intention of your alliance-mate's posts, and only declined in respect at a rate no-greater than their posts declined in intelligence and civility. It was three who tangoed, I'm just lighter on my feet. I wish GATO well and there's no hard feelings here.

You guys ignored your treaty with NPO in the Karma War because you claimed to act based on what you think is right, but now you seem to think NPO getting attacked without needing a reason other than they still exist is what your alliance will fight for. There are far more dangerous enemies they should worry about than an alliance who already surrendered, payed record reps and moved on to trying to survive after their allies like MHA betrayed them for what now seems to have been nothing other than wanting to be on the winning side, who are always willing to disregard morals or support unprovoked aggressive if needed.

[quote name='Sabcat' timestamp='1296304157' post='2609421'] I'm on the other side of this enormous screaming mess of a war but I like that post. Completely wasted though. "No you" is more appropriate round here. Good luck in the war. I'm sure you won't mind that I hope you lose. [/quote] Good luck to you too. [quote name='Vespassianus' timestamp='1296307462' post='2609442'] I'm not a big fan of MHA, but now their MDP partner got attacked and they responded, that's all. If you hate MHA and you think that they are weak and inactive why don't you attack them? They have so many empty war slots. [/quote] I like the cut of your jib.

Bump for WARRRRR
