DH is my favorite bloc to have been in. Wait, Daikos was Roq the whole time? fffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff

Yes :)

uh, I was talking about your claim that most of our upper tier is in peace mode, which is patently false. Keep answering questions I didn't ask though.

Did you even do any cursory amount of verification before posting this? Actually, I don't even know why I asked; you obviously didn't.

'bout time

Congrats and good luck.

All forces involved have [b]mutually agreed[/b] to end hostilities. There was no victory or defeat here. Not even a tie. Simply an end to hostilities. This wasn't a contest. I was the one who initially brought up current wars during negotiations, and the phrasing was decided on simply for ease of execution, not as a demand by either side. OOC: Those of you thinking I'm reveling in our "victory over FARK" or something are severely overestimating my need for internet strangers to stroke my ego. We fought and now we're not. The rest is up to the historians.

[quote name='Enamel32' timestamp='1341258973' post='3001904'] I guess it does say "can", but then why post an announcement.. [/quote] Why do we do anything we do? Because we can.

[quote name='Avakael' timestamp='1340602892' post='2995525'] And is Non Grata considered a friend for the purposes of this conflict? [/quote] Don'r overlook the part in the OP about attractive targets.

[quote name='scytale' timestamp='1339950557' post='2986475']This could eventually lead to a full paperless “friendship” treaties where if you wanted to go to war, you have to do a lot more homework to see who will back whom and for what reasons and be careful of those that will bandwagon on you. [/quote] You say that like it's a bad thing.

[quote name='Rotavele' timestamp='1339647574' post='2982832'] I was rejected to Umbrella? Last time I was checked when I applied to Umbrella I was basically told I was accepted. [/quote] Yeah, no. You would have had to actually make it to a vote to be anywhere close to being accepted. The most interest any of us had in your application internally was wrt whether you were a female or a gay male, and the general consensus when you withdrew your application was "Thank God." Here's an excerpt from one of our founding triumvirate on the matter: "To be frank I'll probably vote no unless he starts saying intelligent things very quickly."

[center][img]http://images.wikia.com/cybernations/images/0/0e/Pandorasboxfull2.png[/img][/center] Fellow citizens of Bob, I come to you today with a somber announcement. Our beloved bloc has reached the natural end of its lifespan. This will come as no great surprise to some. The recent departures of FOK and NG were the birth pains rather than the catalyst, and the remaining members of Pandora's Box have decided to lay the bloc to rest. We bid you peace and farewell, until next time.

[quote name='Letum' timestamp='1335965511' post='2962261'] Judging by the fact that larger alliances seem to have accurate metrics and smaller ones seem to have inflated ones, I'm guessing this might be due to an inability to distinguish between internal and external aid deals. [/quote] We don't have nearly enough internal deals going to account for this large a discrepancy. It must be counting expired deals or something. For reference, the way I've been counting slots used in my internal scripts is by counting each individual nation's number of active slots and then adding them all together to get the total. This method takes care of internal deal tracking on its own. For total slots, just take (nations*4) + (foreign ministries) + (dra's).

[quote name='Ayatollah Bromeini' timestamp='1335396524' post='2959284'] Thanks a million, admin. This is awesome and we're all eternally grateful. Out of curiosity, what are the requirements for sanction now? [/quote] If I'm not mistaken, it is now simply the top 12 alliances sorted by alliance score.

[quote name='Roquentin' timestamp='1335385562' post='2959130'] Umbrella stands behind JA, so it's the same thing. [/quote] Your spies are giving you bad intel, JA is the opposition now

I really like the flag. Excellent work. Also wrt to the "bizarro Umbrella" thing JoshuaR said, I'd be willing to be there are almost as many posts about it here as there are on our own boards and possibly even more. A few regular members may have said something about it, JoshuaR obviously being one of them, but it wasn't ever to the point where it was a major topic of discussion or we were going to do anything about it. If anything it was a running joke for us, the posts here being people's mild attempts to push some buttons.

lol, some of you have no sense of humour it seems

[quote name='Roquentin' timestamp='1333051852' post='2945153'] I'm curious then, why has MK completely withdrawn from the Kaskus/Mongol theater then? GOONS told them to go home? [/quote] As far as I know some MK nations were just ghosting GOONS for the pip, and maybe a few war tourists I guess.

[quote name='Roquentin' timestamp='1333051714' post='2945151'] They simply could have asked for targets to be picked up. I don't get the point of a formal declaration, anyway, since it just makes you look ridiculous for declaring on alliance that isn't even 20% of your size. [/quote] If you want to get technical, GOONS did ask if we could assist against the 100k nation or with aid. MK asked for nothing.

[quote name='Roquentin' timestamp='1333051438' post='2945148'] Nope, are you implying it exists? Given MK has hurled such abuse at your spineless excuse for an alliance, I wouldn't be surprised if it did. [/quote] Nope. MK may have said some mean things to you and to us before, but I don't let mean things ruin my day, and in this circumstance nobody asked me for a declaration.

[quote name='Roquentin' timestamp='1333047140' post='2945110'] Oh man, I think I can guess what happened now since all of the MKers went home. MK called Umbrella infrahuggers for not hitting sooner, and then they caved to pressure to declare so they wouldn't look bad in MK's eyes. [/quote] Since you call it a guess I'm going to go ahead and assume you don't have any supporting evidence to dump this time.

[quote name='Courland' timestamp='1332932053' post='2944274']Let's been honest, my fine furry friend, the last numbers I heard were somewhere in the range of 180 million for MONGOLS and 300 million for Kaskus.[/quote] The latest number I heard from GOONS were significantly less than that and were flatly rejected.

[quote name='Ezequiel' timestamp='1332927845' post='2944262'] lolGOONS. All I have to say. Go Kaskus! Lol, makin GOONS bring in two ally's because they can't fight on their own, hazzah! It's no wonder GOONS lost the UJW, now they bring in two ally's from that war to try and fight. This keeps getting better! Ezequiel. [/quote] Remind me what part Umbrella or the current GOONS had in the UJW again?

[quote name='Roquentin' timestamp='1332924271' post='2944242'] He's not random and has been gov several times. [/quote] I didn't really read who made the post closely enough and he's not in leadership now. I was just speaking for Umbrella though.
