[quote name='Maelstrom Vortex' timestamp='1300388459' post='2667977'] *laughs* Oh my. I don't need aid. I SEND aid. If I get crushed to your level, not as likely as you coming up to mine, you will be ash. [/quote] *grabs crotch* I am fairly sure you managed to lose half your nation strength between 27/2 and 10/3 before fleeing back into peace mode again. If we extrapolate that awesomeness at war... half life of 10 days.... carry the 2 ..... take away the number you first thought of.... its not that long before you will be very small indeed.

[quote name='LeonidasRexII' timestamp='1299734067' post='2658284'] Sigh. Against my better judgement I'll school you again, but only because you are so utterly mis-guided. So on to Lesson #2 where we'll go over your attempts to discredit me. Being such a young nation you could be excused from realizing that the vast majority of nations also have more defensive casualties than offensive ones. That's only due to the laws of Admin. He in his infinite wisdom ordained that each nation shall have three defensive war slots as well as three offensive. Also due to His wisdom larger nations can war on smaller ones and so most nations will declare against smaller nations on the offensive side while facing larger nations on the defensive side. As a result most nations will naturally have more defensive casualties as they defend against larger and more capable nations. My my such harsh words you use, "...by cowards and other deviants". Seems that one of your own leaders is using such dastardly tactic: [url="http://www.cybernations.net/search.asp?searchstring=All&search=Biazt&anyallexact=all&Strength1=&Strength2="]Biazt - GOONs Council Member[/url] He along with 39 of your GOON-mates are "hiding" in PM, so perhaps GOONs isn't the best fit for someone as brave as you. Deslusion doesn't become you so make no mistake that I do hold plenty of authority in The Legion, and you're still fired. Finally I'd like to speak to you about the importance of consistency. In one breath you claim that PM is a tactic deserving of only, still your words mind you, cowards and deviants; but then you claim that using PM is fine. Well which is it? As for your bolding of the amount of time I've been in PM there are a great many DoomHouse members who've been in PM longer than I. Well that's it. I've hoped you learned something here now run along and remember Consistency is your friend. [/quote] Cunning use of misquoting. You missed the part when I told you that the statement was a common claim, not a tactic. I have never heard a member of GOONS make that statement as it is usually used in the defense of guys taking a 'war hibernation'. "Wake me up when it is spring and the bad men have gone away." We hear it a lot from you guys funnily enough. How come I have more offensive casualties than defensive? Weird. Oh right, I am at war with Legion. I was acknowledging the difference between ducking in and out of peace mode and what you guys are doing (that was the fifty percent jibe). You guys are ducking in but not out, which makes your mighty declaration of standing by NPO pretty erroneous which is why I called you out and you got mad. Well done for finding a GOONS member in peace mode by the way. I don't have to try. I just start from the start of your alliance and work down, and it is anarchy or peace mode. You aren't fighting this war at all. You are the kings of ironic statements. Stop Press. The artist formerly known as Shadow the Hedgehog has deleted in response to having his lungs handed to him by the most terrible of equines, Bad Horse. That perhaps makes me take him a little less seriously...

[quote name='LeonidasRexII' timestamp='1299547041' post='2656018'] Here's some advice for you, before you run your mouth next time try getting some facts. There's nothing metaphorical about [b]785,000 casualties[/b][i](500000 of these are defensive)[/i], bub, and I'll proudly put that number up against any nation in my age range as it shows that I'm more than willing to put my pixels on the line. I've fought for NPO this war, and I will again and my being in PM has nothing to do with that. So here's my second piece of advice, get familiar with common war fighting tactics. Entering and [b]leaving[/b] PM has been and continues to be an accepted tactic during protracted wars[i](common claim by cowards and other deviants)[/i]. As for your job as the Minister of Minor Details...[i]Mr RexII, despite a somewhat over-grand title has no authority as this post was handed down from the Imperator himself[/i] [/quote] Lets just fill in the gaps. You have fought one war on behalf of NPO. Peace mode has been your refuge for the past [b]thirty-four[/b] days Entering and leaving peace mode is fine. I think your alliance is running at only fifty percent efficiency in this clever tactic....lets have fun working out which half. When was the last time Legion did any damage to anyone? 2009? You look through the alliance and once you get past the first ten screens of peace mode it i either peace mode or anarchy. Did I hear the words non-entity?

[quote name='LeonidasRexII' timestamp='1299291777' post='2652998'] I've suffered the same fate more than a few times, but still I want to make my thoughts known. I started my life here on Planet Bob directly before Karma came crashing down on the NPO more than two years hence. Even though I hadn't been present I did hear of the great crimes that NPO perpetrated against the Karma alliances that had come to extract their revenge. At the time I thought, "I don't know if they deserve it but they are paying a heavy penance if they do, but if they make it out of this their slate will be wiped clean by nuclear fire". The war ended, the reps were paid, and from what I've seen NPO has kept mostly to themselves. During that time they rebuilt all the way up to the #2 alliance here on Planet Bob which, considering where they had been beaten down to, was quite an accomplishment. NPO took a beating, paid their reps, and kept quite, but that's still not enough. Many of the former Karma alliances who had once trumpeted the case that all alliances should be allowed to behave as they liked without the fear of Perma-War or EZI now wish nothing more than to wipe the NPO off the face of Planet Bob. They've forgone the formality of a CB to do just that even though just two years ago they held NPO's feet to the fire for the same thing, and had been hit by a basically CBless preemption during the Bi-Polar war. To me that's just plain wrong. I've enjoyed my time here on Planet Bob, and hope that my fellow nations have as much fun as I do. Because of that I don't believe that any one nation, alliance, or bloc has the right to dictate who gets to inhabit our glorious world. That's why I have [b]fought and will fight alongside the NPO for as long as I'm able[/b]. Just as I will fight for any other alliance that is deemed by some as "unworthy". It seems that there are precious few that think as I do, and many others that have flocked to the "strong" side. And so I [b]stand here with my principles out-numbered and out-gunned[/b]. Even so I will not [b]run and hide[/b], I will not pull a Benedict Arnold and switch sides like a flag flapping in the wind. Instead I will [b]stand and fight[/b]. I will fight for my right to PARTY! Kick it! Ave NPO, and War BEASTIE BOYS! [/quote] Just to clarify... metaphorically stand... and metaphorically fight, from the protective umbrella of peace. Thank heavens I have been made the Minister of minor details for Legion, at last I can help to free the world of this confusion. Also... stop press. Shadow the Hedgehog is doing his warring with just 36 soldiers. That is how awesome he is... it has made me take his news announcement super-seriously now.

[quote name='skrewer' timestamp='1299248006' post='2652432'] Great read, and nice humor too As a member of the WAE, I am honored to stand by you still. [/quote] I too enjoyed it although I wasn't sure about all the irony heaped on irony on top of the sarcasm and I have to say that I may have dosed off once or twice and missed the ending. Did we win? I like the mighty Skewer, proud warrior of the legion will be standing by you, albeit in a metaphorical sense as we must lurk behind the barriers of peace as per our directives from Legion Grand Dragon. But we are right there with you. I like the picture you drew. I don't get it though.

[quote name='Geoffron X' timestamp='1299173085' post='2651243'] Well I can only get one member of your "winning" coalition to declare on me at a time so otherwise it'd probably be higher for us, at least. [/quote] I gather there is the facility to declare war somewhere in this game. I have only been playing a little while but I seem to recall something like this.

My name is Lord of the Dance and I approve of this surrender. Now as an honorary Legionnaire I must get back to my six twenty-fifths of a war. I am losing alas. I knew I should have got into peace mode.

[quote name='FindItLulz' timestamp='1298519934' post='2643481'] Implying I'm complaining? I love this war I'm just not entertained by it anymore. It's getting old. [/quote] Yeah. We at legion want you to stop fighting this silly war so we can get on with watching our infra inexorably rise. Loud bangs scare us and we are afraid of all the hostility. Hence our current tactic of sticking our heads in the sand until all the nasty boys go away again.

This is the Legion twelve step programme for how we are planning to [i]win[/i] the war. 1. Wait for the fighting to start. 2. Wait 3. Easy now 4. Declare war [i]quietly[/i] 5. Bigger nations into peace mode [b]Peace mode damnit We must save our infra[/b] 6. Emphasise its literally the top two hundred who have to be in peace mode 7. Bottom 8% of nation tie up some guys for a little time. 8. Peace mode for those not in anarchy 9. ????? 10. Profit 11. Give out medals on our forum for no good reason 12. React to every little insult with "U MAD". Its hilarious and it really makes people mad. Still no emergence from peace mode, even when provoked. 13. Get internet to teach us how to count. The end. Signing off, Policy Centurion Lord of the Dance. Ave Legio Carpe Diem etc (Do you get it, its latin and we're Roman soldiers.)
