Is this bawwing I see on my forums? You mess with the bull, and you get the horns. Could well be we'll also buy the horns soon. If so, so be it. No hard feelings. Some of the rest of you seem to be assigning "style points" to our war declaration. Poison Clan last I checked wasn't entirely a fan favorite with many "KARMA" alliances. Also we beg to differ on the degree of difficulty you are assigning. PC knows how to war and war well.

Probably one of the best pieces of mock shock and outrage I've ever seen written. I think I also wrote a shorter version with regard to Electron Sponge and NpO once. I also used the word 'karma'. You (meaning "Karma") wanted your war justified before you launched it. You got it justified...well sort of. Congratulations. I say "sort of" because all the treaty cancellations, all the pokes with a stick at NPO and its allies the last few months leading up to this moment were no accident. They were part of the plan. Don't insult my intelligence by asking "what plan?" NPO may or may not "get what's coming to it". I don't think that anyone on the anti-NPO side actually agrees on what that means. For some it means the complete and utter destruction of NPO. For others it means simply that NPO needs to be taught a lesson and taken down a few notches. I pretty much already know what Valhalla can expect should it comes to NPO's defense... So be it. I left Ragnarok and eventually made my way to Valhalla in the full knowledge of what might happen. I am no 'traitor' to a cause, nor hired gun. I sought a bit quieter life with a ton less drama where when war came, I could be in the thick of it. I will be. My loyalty now is first and foremost to my alliance, and win/lose/draw I will be around to help it heal afterward. To my friends and former friends associated with "Karma": Remember that karma always comes full circle. Do this thing the wrong way and you will pay the price. I will not be the one making you pay it either, karma will.

When you understand that you are talking to a group of people who have been waiting for Pacifica to make a move that could paint them as an aggressor (fairly or unfairly) for quite literally *months*, then you'll understand that your logical argument is being given to a brick wall. No, OV had absolutely no reason to do anything in this matter but to become stiff necked and resolute when under normal circumstances they would have given up whoever they needed to give up and VE would have been poking them in the ribs until they did. Having a bunch of rifles poking out of the weeds in back of you pointed at the bad guys in front of you tends make you far braver than you might be otherwise....

I think we both know the answer the real answer to this question, don't we? I'm just surprised it took you this long to cancel the treaty.

Piggy has a yellow streak. Pity. It's ok, your turn will come. In the meantime, watch how real warriors fight. I'd tell you to learn something from it but I don't see that happening.

I remember asking "where's MegaAros?" and seeing your AA was Vox Populi. You cut and ran on the eve of war, a war you decided that you didn't want to fight. If TORN did manage to get hold of you and slap you around for a bit before you got to Vox, then golf clap for them.

Don't you have another alliance to run away from on the eve of war? You put on track shoes and ran from Ragnarok so fast when the orders came down to hit NV and OcUK I think you may have set an indoor record at 100 meters.

Enjoy nuclear winter, pig. We'll all be enjoying it before too long. By the way, where is NSO's DoW in this? Oh that's right you're "neutral". Good people on both sides (and yes I still have friends on both sides) will be getting shot up. Please, if you insist on not fighting at all during any of this conflict shut up permanently.

Not the first time it's ever happened. There is quite a bit more to say, but why bother. The spin machine for OV supporters is on full power and anything I put out there will just get trolled stupidly.

Expected...and now it's nearly show time.

Expected of course.

Heh...unlikely. But you are reviving a brand name that was synonymous with cyberstalking, porn, some of the most completely tasteless forums on Planet Bob, and of course Shark Week. I'm not saying the new GOONS is guilty of any of those things or should be punished for them, just that image wise you have an uphill struggle.

Hopefully this goes better than at least one of your previous attempts to expand into another world... I'm not sure what else to say but good luck to an ally of a couple of allies and don't repeat the mistakes of the past. Side note: Yeah go ahead and start the \m/ revival rumors again. If GOONS can come back, \m/ can't be that far behind.

I appreciate your kind words and wish you much success in the future.

Let's see... Nope, I can't seem to care.

Oh...I did. See you at update, chief.

According to legend, yes.

Well actually it was supposed to have started around the 14th of February, then sometime in March...maybe...then the end of March for sure, then perhaps a week or two after that. We all hear things, the question is when people are going to stop with the "what's the definition of naivete?" and "what's the definition of spying?" and get on with it.

Congrats to NATO regarding all your announcements. Here at Valhalla, we've been passing the time in Peace Mode with various pursuits. Here's a photo at the beach. Sorry but I wasn't able to work myself into the photo very well. Also, some of us had a party over the weekend. Someone called herself 'Sarah Palin' stopped by for a few drinks. I think she liked me, at least she gave me her cell phone number. Anyway, best of luck to NATO in the future, whatever it holds.

Interesting but... OV has more than enough connections to the treaty web that any attack against it would very likely trigger off a Great War. GOD, VE and Vanguard do not back down from fights and an attack on OV would be a direct challenge. Their entry into any conflict brings in Superfriends and a host of others, similarly activating treaties on the other side. This is exactly the scenario Blackstone would want. Let's be honest here. It is very much in the interest of those who would challenge the "hegemony" to see a major, disruptive war take place, since it might well be that thing that finally causes a major paradigm shift. Those who are a part of the "hegemony" would therefore want to limit the scale of conflict or keep it from happening all together. If the "hegemony" is making a major issue of the situation regarding OV, it isn't because they are looking to pick off some ripe fruit--as I discussed above it involves real danger of a Great War, which is exactly what its enemies want. No, there are very real, legitimate concerns where OV is concerned.

. The only question is who are the Hekawi and who are the U.S. Cavalry.

I'm dealing with it just fine. You seem to specialize in trolling Valhalla. I'd like to say you're good at it, but you aren't. A special thanks however to all of you from STA that have given Valhalla some additional insight on the current foreign policy direction of your alliance.

I see. Well given Vilien's sig, which lists alliances that were supposedly wronged by NPO and its allies (including at least one current ally of Avalanche), I'd say that's a fair statement. It makes for an impressive graphic, even if it doesn't even begin to tell both sides of the story.

Bitter much?

Spoken like a veteran warrior who has seen much in the over two years he's been here, both in victory and in defeat. But please, continue to urinate on my attempt to be gracious.
