[quote name='Locke' timestamp='1317748851' post='2816223'] I have no idea what that has to do with anything either, but come on down. [/quote] Potato believes that the Legion took too long to take care of NSO/Tetris. I believe its hypocritical since he/MK has yet to do anything about GOD yet. Disclaimer: I am not saying GOD should or shouldn't get a beating, all I am implying is that MK believes they should.

[quote name='Vladimir Stukov II' timestamp='1317660824' post='2814657'] It's a slow grind up fighting with only 1k infra. Maybe I should buy up to 4k to get some more casualties. [/quote] Slow and steady wins the race. What'd it cost you to get to 3k btw?

[quote name='potato' timestamp='1317724741' post='2815967'] ...a week ago. [/quote] GODs still waiting for you too bud.

[quote name='WorldConqueror' timestamp='1317723532' post='2815962'] No, because now it looks like !@#$. I mean, TBH I don't really care, crappy propaganda gets trotted out every war, but it would be nice if people would at least try and make them effective. And giving yourself more room just means your message is going to get more convoluted and therefore less effective. Working within a restriction, like the OWF sig rules, forces you to strip everything down because you don't have the room for anything else. You said yourself it can't be too wordy, well the same principle applies to the rest of it. My sig, while not a spectacular offering, at least sums up a NSO view of the war with a simple picture and 5 words. [/quote] I completely understand where you're coming from, problem is I'm working with Paint and its limited. But then again, I just wanted to prove to Kzopp that I'm better than him in every single way as he seems to be full of delusions -- and I think everyone that matters (aka me) can agree that I won (again)

[quote name='mrwuss' timestamp='1317720213' post='2815942'] Why do so many people confuse balls for stupidity? [/quote] Stupidity would be to continue political isolation because any action you take to change that results in you being outnumbered. It was a move Legion had to make, but a tough one to make, and hence the kudos to them for doing it.

[quote name='Elrich von Richt' timestamp='1317722965' post='2815956'] As someone who prides themselves in graphic designing, I view the amount of JPEG artifacts in some of this... eye murdering. I might give it a shot if I have some free time. [/quote] Hey hey... its GIFs and PNGs !

[quote name='WorldConqueror' timestamp='1317721947' post='2815950'] If you need to make it bigger and have multiple frames to get your point across, your original message probably isn't punchy enough to be effective anyway. [/quote] Happy? [img]http://i56.tinypic.com/1z4ljf9.jpg[/img]

[quote name='Krunk the Great' timestamp='1317706525' post='2815799'] It was nice knowing you Legion. [/quote] Don't worry, we won't kill you.

I want to discuss the precedents set by the most recent war: 1) The 6 million -- NG states that they agreed to 6 million after war due to the fact UPN sustained more damage than what was done to 2) 1 strike policy -- In my experience diplomacy is given a few tries before war happens. How do you feel about war between two alliances happening as soon as the alliance that did something wrong says something that the other alliance doesn't like? 3) Update Blitz -- War was declared 4 hours of the incident (right? Not 100% sure).. Does anyone else feel like that is short notice? Or have update blitzs become irrelevant due to the 25 hour nuke rule?

Looks like Maroon stole Pinks thunder

[quote name='Kzoppistan' timestamp='1317620236' post='2814492'] And neither will you, so you have no ground to stand on, and no one believes otherwise. While we try our best to mind our own business and take care of our own affairs, you've deemed yourselves fit to flap your pie-holes over a bunch of nothing and spew your keyboard hate vomit on anybody who comes close enough to read your post. While some of us have tried to extend the hand of diplomacy, you've done nothing but run around holding your sore little buttholes, like they were just reamed out yesterday, over some !@#$ that happened almost a year ago. So put on your big boy pants and deal with it. The only reason your ilk hasn't started a flame war over your childish antics and impotent chestbeating is because the majority of my alliance mates have turned their backs on your asinine dribble that only serves as a salve for getting your asses handed to you in a war. Nobody buys your !@#$%^&*. So suck it up and try to conduct yourselves with the barest of human decency instead of a bunch of whiny !@#$%*es that thinks that running their gobstoppers somehow makes them men. [/quote] As stated on IRC we gain nothing by using the same tired arguments over and over. Kzoppistan I understand you want to stand up for your alliance (as do the NSO members in this thread), and that is admirable. But bickering solves nothing, and I urge you to try and be the bigger man and allow your cooler head to prevail. I am sure the legion appreciates your help, but as we both know, this is not the best way for you to help. [quote name='Varianz' timestamp='1317621192' post='2814495'] 5 months does not equal a year. Also lol. Why would we want to engage with you diplomatically after all the crap you've pulled? We're under no obligation to be polite to you, and in fact have every reason to act exactly like we do. Pretty much the entire world agrees. [/quote] Yes, its easy to kick someone when they are down. What do you gain from it though? You (occasionally) show signs of intelligence and I'm sure you agree that this takes us nowhere, or the logical part of you does. I understand you want to move to the other side of the web and that side of the web insults the legion, so insulting them helps you fit in, but I assure you that having a common enemy will only unite you for so long as shown by countless cancellations throughout Planet Bobs history. [quote name='youwish959' timestamp='1317621431' post='2814496'] Kzoppistan, I know your a man of reason and understanding. So perhaps you would understand that such things can easily be overlooked when your own Pro-Consul purposely and blatantly derides such attempts at diplomacy. [/quote] Yes, that may be true, but this is not the place to discuss what the legions government has or hasn't helped do.

[quote name='Duncan King' timestamp='1317519157' post='2813628'] I replaced it with a slower one. Haven't quite figured out my GIF maker yet. [IMG]http://i242.photobucket.com/albums/ff120/duncanking/playnice.gif[/IMG] [/quote] Its too late, obviously. But as a suggestion for your future work, have the person who starts the dialogue most of the time on the left. It's more natural that way. Or you can have only 1 word bubble per image and have it go faster. The problem with the speed (for me atleast) was it took a second to process which one was talking first, then there wasn't enough time to read what they were saying (especially towards the end).

[quote name='The Normandy' timestamp='1317580453' post='2813950'] This thread is a joke. It should how much you will pledge to allies of UPN to get up and dish out some pain. This game is dying fast as hell anyway, make a last stand and don't surrender or sign anything, fight until you kill all of them or you die. If you get battered down and defeated, forget about the game, the winners will only fight between themselves in the aftermath. Sending over 70 nations into peace mode is pathetic, you should of sent those nations on the attack along with your allies nations. Gather the armies, make a war plan and let the fireworks begin. [/quote] It's easy to say that when you'll be on the winning side. Why would allowing you guys to curbstomp us help a dying game?

[quote name='TehChron' timestamp='1317527517' post='2813696'] In our defense, Im pretty sure for an opportunity to roll the Legion, we'd gladly waive our treaty obligations for a 1v1 with you all. You know, like every other time you've threatened to do something, only to slink back into your corner and mutter about how awesome you totally are. Frankly speaking, regarding your last sentence, making empty threats that everyone knows for what they are, is something that falls under the category of "acting like an ass". That being said, Im sure that such misplaced pride will come back to haunt you, should you continue to put stock in it. [/quote] !@#$%^&* and you know it. Legion has told your alliance multiple times to back your words up and all NSO govt has done/said is "That was just a member of NSO, they have the freedom of speech blah blah blah." Tl;dr back-peddling. [quote name='TehChron' timestamp='1317528019' post='2813700'] Should we win, I would want duel membership, and the opportunity to act in the capacity you recommended that Legion needs right now. But im a low-level government member, long bereft of relevance. Im sure that a DC member or above would be better able to accommodate your Consul. But since we're on the subject of hypothetical wagers, what would you like to see out of it? [/quote] The war itself is fine.

[quote name='Jaiar' timestamp='1317519657' post='2813629'] You would have fought Tetris/NSO. Powerful friends doesn't mean stupid friends. Hell, NSO would have probably been told not to fight for Tetris or that they and Tetris would be going at it alone. Acting like asses comes back to haunt "them" only when someone - Legion in this case - does something about it. Otherwise, periodically Legion will continue to be plagued with topics like these three recent ones plus the spew that NSO comes out with. [/quote] They can spew what they wish, but if what you say is true, then their taunts are just as applicable to their allies. In which case, there is no reason for us to stoop to their level, as they are obviously just insecure in their power. Or their allies are not what you say, in which case we did the right thing due to our current position on the MDP web. Honestly, I think you don't understand VE very well. They have [url=http://cybernations.wikia.com/wiki/WF%E2%80%93UED_War]shown[/url] they will go to war even if their ally is in the wrong. And they [url=http://cybernations.wikia.com/wiki/VE-GDI_War]will[/url] declare war on an entire alliance based on what a few members do if they don't like said alliance. It was common knowledge at the time that they had problems with RyanGDI, and, as he wasn't popular with the majority of Bob (like legion now) it was fine for them to roll the entire alliance. Just because we don't post, doesn't mean we don't pay attention to the World Politics.

[quote name='Jaiar' timestamp='1317517534' post='2813613'] Being the bigger man on Bob means nothing. You should have made demands of Tetris and watched them squirm and run to VE for help. I guarantee you VE dislikes their stupidity. VE would have been reasonable. Hell, they are probably within inches of canceling on Tetris; the cancellation won't be right away but in a month or so after people have somewhat forgotten about Hereno and Pollard's stupidity then the cancellation will come. Anyways, VE would not have fought for Tetris. [/quote] Sadly we do not have Sonic Pluto in VE to tell us this. Also, there was little reason for us to risk it. Tetris is also MDP'd to NSO, and we'd love to take the two of them on versus us, but between the two of them, they have powerful friends that allow them to do this. But, as the history of Bob has shown, if alliance (leaders) continue to act like asses, it'll come back to haunt them. It's just a matter of time.

[quote name='Jaiar' timestamp='1317516606' post='2813605'] Legion should have declared war on Tetris. VE would not have defended their stupidity. Legion, sometimes war is a good option no matter what may come at the end. [/quote] We understand that, and I think you will soon see the new mentality of the legion. There is such a thing as picking your battles though, and being the bigger man as well.

[quote name='Rebel Virginia' timestamp='1317508289' post='2813525'] [color="#0000FF"]I am glad to see that mighty Legion has the spine to stand up to one 2k NS nation. I was beginning to worry that there was no hope for you.[/color] [/quote] Hey hey.. It was almost double that size when we started!
