If it isn't the STA trying to keep the NPO out!
[quote]
<pezstar> Right now, my plan is to keep ANYONE from defending us. And keep anyone from chaining in anywhere. EVERYONE but NpO's first line treaties need to use their non-chaining clauses.
<pezstar> It is not yet time for NPO to come out yet. They still need to be protected.

[quote]<LintWad> Everyone seems to be keeping their cards close to the chest.
<Tygaland> yeah
<Tygaland> and we are reluctant to call you guys in as it will give MK/TOP/PB what they want...Pacifica
<LintWad> Calling everyone in won't change the winning-potential I suppose.
<Tygaland> nope
<LintWad> Might be somewhat of an advantage if we get them to jump first.
<Tygaland> I think if everyone goes in it'll be worse for us
<Tygaland> MK/TOP/PB will take the show over and they want to be the ones that killed CN
<LintWad> Yes.[/quote]
TCK smells a preempt 4 days in advance!
[quote]From what I gather, it's beneficial to our entire side for Pacifica to remain out as long as possible. This is to force as many of their cards out in the open before we put ours on the table. Once Pacifica is in, we're out of force to do much countering against the likes of MK, TOP or IRON.
<TCK> I smell a possible pre-empt
<TCK> by mk
<TCK> I am getting my guys ready
<TCK> told NPO to do the same[/quote]
Tyga talks some sense into pezstar:
[quote]From my perspective, and the inside talk at Polar, this is going to end up as a big one sooner or later. Random does not want to keep anyone out. Pez initially stated that she did but was overruled by T in STA.[/quote]
... and the plan changes. Would have TPF denied STA much needed assistance?
[quote]<LintaWayd> So, is STA asking allies to assist, or are you still not requesting?
<pezstar> We're going to ask, officially. That said, we have one treaty partner who can assist.
<pezstar> And that's TPF[/quote]
Apparently not!
[quote]<LintaWayd> Once TPF goes in, it'll be very hard to keep us out, and harder still to keep us from pulling everything we got[/quote]
[quote][20:27] <[NSO]youwish959> We would be going in via TPF
[20:28] <[NSO]youwish959> STA is set to hit tonight
[20:33] <[NSO]youwish959> We are thinking about Moldavi Doctrining in with TPF
[20:34] <Burnt[ASU]> I thought you were already allies
[20:34] <[NSO]youwish959> yes
[20:35] <[NSO]youwish959> But going in to make one hit with TPF on Athens, rather than just sitting and countering the tpf counter[/quote]
LintWad knows it's essential for coalitions to work together.
[quote]
I've set up a channel for TPF, NPO and NSO FA-types (basic level) to hash out numbers.
We want TPF beside us when entering, and NPO behind us.

[quote]We need to see more of the floating strength tied in before Pacifica is in a position to roll. With Sparta, MHA, MK, TOP and IRON still waiting in the wings, an entrance is nothing but a trap. This is why there's still so much uncertainty in our timeline.
