    I was absolutely certain that the Flying Hellfish United merged into Dunder Mufflin outright. If they are really an alliance, I recommend you get them to be more active on the political scene, Dark Templar as 3 months is a long time.

    That is what this thread is for. To erase any ambiguity and to reaffirm DT's commitment to the protection of FHU.

    I see we didn't use any of my suggested treaty names, but I [i]guess[/i] I can agree with this.

    o/ LoSS

    Well there was a loss in communication for a bit. What can we say?

    Well yes, since those much vaunted principles and morals that wouldn't let you pay reps initial didn't come into play, since DT payed anyway. Just like I called it in the other thread.

    DT spent a great deal of time repeating how it objected to paying anything, on grounds other than the cost. So did all those reasons vanish? Either DT's 'moral' objections were nothing more than a bargaining and PR tool, or you've gone back on them. Which is it?







    I view government positions as service. Government holds a duty to do what is best for the alliance and its membership, personal wishes must come secondary to the greater good for one's alliance. Allowing pride to dictate to you in such a situation would a failure in ones duty in my opinion.

    DT let their pride get in the way, for no gain at all. They still payed something, which defeats all their claims of moral objections, [i]and[/i] they suffered more damage than they managed to negotiate off the terms. It was a lose lose.

    Keep in mind that these are only the opinions of a single DT member, but I feel like I represent the feelings of DT's general membership pretty well.

    Disregard any opinions you had afterwards on how we handled negotiations, did you [u]initially[/u] feel that the reparations were justified at all? To quote you, the "government holds a duty to do what is best for the alliance and its membership." Interpreting the quote a little deeper, wouldn't a government's first priority be to make sure that the alliance is an alliance in itself? Meaning, a SOVEREIGN community of nations coming together for the support and well-being of each other? We originally fought only for LoSS, but when CSN, this outside power, started to trample over our self-containing union of 47 nations, then thats when we also started fighting for our community itself. It is without question that DT & LoSS were at a statistical disadvantage, but just because "Might makes Right" doesn't mean we have to follow this rule. If we're going to have something stripped away from us (and that something is in the form of 40,000 technology) then we might as well make sure they fight for it.

    Yes, there comes a time when fighting for one's own ideals simply becomes unreasonable and illogical and that is when one puts up and shuts up. But in the end, if I make my enemies fight to the teeth for every lost piece of my nation, then I believe I still possess the most valuable thing one can possess, the Pride of one's own alliance. Undoubtedly, the other DT members resonate this feeling as well. After all, take away the alliance, and a nation simply becomes a congregation of pixels which becomes a very, very juicy raid target for others.

    No, I can do basic math, holding out for better terms really only works when its NPO sized Karma reps. Freaking huge. DT could have paid off half the initial 40k in the time they wasted negotiating it down, the terms were too small to be worth the effort.

    Because, clearly, the amount of reparations was the only thing we fought for.

    I would... but I can't afford any spy operations. :< Give me a month and I'll start destroying your IRC channel's technology. :v:
    [/quote]

    Negative. Our IRC's technology is incapable of being destroyed. But for a small price of 40k technology, i'll tell you one little secret about it. ;)

    Ignoring the pages of CSN dribble....

    [quote name='Jocabia' timestamp='1298931954' post='2647104']

    Or over 50K we've got 22 nations (probably about half are active). LoSS has 3 active nations over 50K and one of them has 1 million dollars in his warchest. I wonder how long that will last him. But DT is doing much better as they've also got a whopping 3 active nations over 50K. So out of 365 nations in the two alliances you've got 6 who can and will fight our upper tier and[b] one of them can afford to buy soldiers[/b]. Good luck with that. [/quote]

    Is he talking about me?! Did i just get a shout out! :smiles: Feeling good right now.


    BTW, not rebuying soldiers if you don't have a FOS is strategy. ;)
