[quote name='Baldr' timestamp='1296167021' post='2606184'] After Karma, NPO was forced to pay reps for 9 or 10 months. Many of the reps had to be tech sent directly from the NPO nations that had not lost all their tech in the war, and no NPO nations were allowed to purchase tech to rebuild while the reps were being paid. The entire goal was to keep NPO from rebuilding quickly. After BiPolar, TOP paid reps for 8 months, and had another month or so to go when MK dropped the rest. So when you talk about "terms are a lot lighter now", it's simply not true. And I expect MK to remain true to form and require huge reps at the end of this war. You've done it every time you've won a war, so why would I expect it to change? I agree. But it's your alliance that keeps making people spend most of a year paying reps when they lose, not allowing them to rebuild. Even without all of that, it takes a long time to rebuild if you're down to hardly any infra and you've spent all your warchest. Yes, you were pissed the NPO didn't jump in to defend NpO. You don't seem to understand that they don't have a treaty, and haven't been close in a long time. NpO was on the Karma side during Karma war, not the NPO side. NpO and NPO were on different sides the last major war before that, too. It's been a very, very long time since the two were close. Just because they share initials and have a history with each other doesn't make them close allies today. Of that year and a half, most of it they were not allowed to buy tech, and were forced to send out tech to your alliance. You designed the system to keep them from rebuilding, then are pissed when they won't defend NpO who they have no treaty with against a planned attack. So now you attack them, and when you've won, you'll require a years worth of reps and similar BS just like you've done in the past. And then you'll be whining about why it takes so long to have another decent war. [/quote] I see similiar statements from different people...and I have to agree.
