Congrats to MHA! You're slightly older than us! o/ MHA I also chuckled at the below, but probably only because The Matrix is one of the best movies ever created [quote name='KahlanRahl' timestamp='1315407327' post='2796320'] Has it been five years, really? Wow, y'all are getting to be some old fools aren't you? Anywho, congrats on the birthday. I saw this last night while stumbling in my office pretending to do foreign affairs work, and thought told myself it would have to be posted in the next alliance's birthday thread I found. Thankfully even the numbers are correct! [img]http://www.ratemyfunnypictures.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/Sixth-Time-e1314312992816.jpg[/img] [/quote]

[quote name='Hereno' timestamp='1309566624' post='2746316'] Yeah, what an !@#$%^& he is for jumping onto the bandwagon of not wanting his alliance's leader ousted by a foreign party over pocket change. At this point I'm convinced you really don't believe what you're posting. Come on, nobody is [i]that[/i] stupid. [/quote] Lol, learn to read before you learn to troll? His post was about the CB, which nobody was airing disagreements on when the war started. He was not at the thread arguing against the CB (or at least I did not see him). Unless my Space-time continuum knowledge is off and the CB is after the war, what he's actually doing is hopping on the anti-R&R bandwagon trying to pile on reasons to hate us when in reality these reasons were perfectly fine before the war. Funny how certain events change objectivity of others eh?

[quote name='Mayzie' timestamp='1309510501' post='2745815'] Where does the headache come from 18m of missed reparations five months ago? The nation hit would've more than rebuilt, UINE had been decimated in a war and so had other things to think about. Personally, I'd have just sacked it off instead of running around in circles chasing down such a small amount, nevermind attacking the entire alliance then forcing those !@#$@#$ ridiculous terms on them. [/quote] O rly? And where were you standing up for YOUR beliefs when on the war announcement thread everybody was saying "Good show R&R, the only real CB I've seen in the past X years." Guess you pick and choose what bandwagons to hop on?

[quote name='Schattenmann' timestamp='1309404887' post='2744744'] When an alliance or a man believes it has the right to change the way another alliance governs itself, it is everyone's business. [/quote] But then aren't you interfering in our right to defend our allies and protect their sovereignty? After all, this war was started with defending AiD when UINE had attacked them and not payed reps while promising to do so.

[quote name='SoADarthCyfe6' timestamp='1309403052' post='2744691'] Worst. Viceroy. Ever. [/quote] I lol'd. Good luck UINE!

I saw it first! xD o/ R&R!

[quote name='Mixoux' timestamp='1308251494' post='2732569'] Fun fact: For about a week the AA ingame was, in fact, 'R&R'. Then admin waged war on the & character in late 2006 and things got wonky. edit: there is nothing fun about that fact actually [/quote] That was back when we could not fight the imperialism of admin. Now that we are strong, we shall prevail in our pursuit for letter independence!

^ That

Congrats on the merger, best of luck to Non Grata!

[quote name='Bob Janova' timestamp='1307789951' post='2729128'] Oh look, 'Do something about it ' is making a return. I thought R&R was above that, to be honest. [/quote] Lol, and since when has the opinion of 1 member out of 280 dictated alliance foreign policy? You're looking intensely for some troll bait aren't you?

[quote name='Bob Ilyani' timestamp='1307666645' post='2728278'] (the ones who had just impeached their leader [b]on their own accord[/b], mind you) [/quote] Really? Because the UINE government has stated that they only impeached keve as a result of war. Edit: Page 10, scroll down approximately halfway. Look for Reghar73's post, he quotes me and says that they only impeached keve after being forced by the peace agreements.

I'd like to just finish off with one last point since I've said everything I really need to say here... [quote name='REGHAR73' timestamp='1307567619' post='2727267'] [quote]The government was already going to remove keve[/quote] I think you'll find this was only done after the DOW and there had been no intention to do so before that point. It was a necessary evil due to position that the UINE was put in, by themselves and RnR. Just so everyone is clear. [/quote] So UINE admits that keve ruled as a dictator that ran the alliance into the ground with problems, but they are only removing him once they are forced? THIS is EXACTLY why it needs to be spelled out in treaties. Otherwise it's all smiles and handshakes at the conference table, and then once you leave the room you go back on ANOTHER promise. What reghar is saying is that he is fine with keve dragging $36 mil in reps out across 6 months, but during the war he was going on saying how it was wrong and he will pay them personally. How do those two fit together? They don't. Reghar had a problem with keve dragging out payments during the war, but now it benefits him with some PR to seem like he was abused into these terms that they allowed. And now because we are allowing them the terms they wanted changed (but apparently they didn't change enough) we're still the bad guys? Ok, anybody who thinks otherwise is falling into the PR trap that UINE is setting. They promised to kick out keve, and now they are claiming they wouldn't have done so unless they were forced by circumstances? Well, I'm glad we safeguarded ourselves by forcing the circumstances.
