  1. [quote name='Kryievla' date='09 March 2010 - 12:55 AM' timestamp='1268096389' post='2218623'] My opinions, even those that are 'dissenting', have been and continue to be valued and respected, and occasionally even acted on. Valhalla may be ultimately led by the Regent, but our work is done as a [i]team.[/i] My experience has not been your experience. So please and thanks, leave our Charter out of this. This whole debate over whether or not a MoFA should be able to handle a rogue attack is one of the more ridiculous arguments I've seen, and I can't believe you'd go nitpicking at a Charter to figure that one out. Anyways, good luck to TOP. [/quote] Shame not often. Shame it's getting worse. Shame Valhalla died circa end of 2008, start of 2009. I can't believe his rogue attack thing was even brought up, but then again, an alliance that allows people like Bob Sanders and ChairmanHal free reign on the open world what are you to expect. Really should get it sorted.
  2. [quote name='ajaxpenny' date='08 March 2010 - 07:20 AM' timestamp='1268033087' post='2217795'] And no Longbowe and Bob Sanders, you have it all wrong. They all came from Valhalla for me! [/quote] You didn't invite me.... [quote name='Seipher Caim' date='08 March 2010 - 11:21 AM' timestamp='1268047587' post='2217894'] ok... This is a TOP announcement concerning TOP gov... Bob vocally made his point clear and I'll ask now every valhallan to remain civil. I had the chance, yes the chance, to know Sky as her Emissary Deputy in Valhalla and I wish her luck in her new impressive job. [/quote] 6 or so pages to late. Really, need to get a handle on the idiots that remain in Valhalla - although least it wasn't Hal failing against STA this time... [quote name='Lord Boris' date='08 March 2010 - 07:14 PM' timestamp='1268075933' post='2218166'] Bob, while I usually don't have any issues with you, in this particular case I will make an exception to that. Stop being a twit. [/quote] Thankfully I think he has stopped. Goodluck SGC and all the others.
  3. Mine were stolen by PC - the kids I was forced to replace them with were not good
  4. [quote name='Earogema' date='21 February 2010 - 03:28 PM' timestamp='1266766135' post='2195043'] Term of surrender are hardly propaganda attempts. Especially when you're \m/. Nobody likes us, and these terms won't fix that, nor will they make us look strong or otherwise. Did you see terms for NpO nations at all? No you didn't. Why is that? Most of our members have a greater distaste for NpO than they do for Valhalla. You're all just debating a standard that has been used since forever and has since never been refuted. It's okay. Just say this: I don't like \m/. There is no option 3. There is no propaganda here. I know \m/ is terrible at foreign relations, but for [i]this[/i] to be considered propaganda is absurd. [/quote] Did you even read the announcement? Accusing the government of one, never mind two alliances of doing something against many of their members wishes is propaganda 101. Although not surprising if you didn't know that since people thinking laughing at someone and whinging are the same thing
  5. [quote name='Penlugue Solaris' date='18 February 2010 - 02:02 AM' timestamp='1266458520' post='2188578'] The aggressor can lose land, I don't think there's anything against that. Just means it doesn't work out in your favor doesn't mean you didn't start the war. I have no idea what the actual discussion is, but damn are you upset. [/quote] You are correct, the correct words I should have used was "on the offensive" Nah not upset at all. This war no longer has anything to do with me. Apart from I clap my hands to TOP for being the first alliance in my time here where I have actually thought, cool a CB with no BS in it. Although this does not mean I support the reason, but lets be honest, honesty on Planet Bob is hard to come by, especially when it coming from Alliance Leadership, I doubt there is many honest ones out there, if any.
  6. [quote name='Denial' date='18 February 2010 - 01:40 AM' timestamp='1266457259' post='2188536'] remain the defender, yet it can be argued that they are going on the "offensive" [b]to push TOP & IRON soldiers and tanks out of their territories, and regain and solidify the sovereignty that was grossly infringed upon by the aggressors.[/b] [/quote] You guys really going to roll with BS like that. Do they teach this stuff to you before you can become a member of what ever alliance your are in? That is done as soon as you retaliate by ground attacking... either that or I lost land while being the aggressor
  7. [quote name='President Sitruk' date='18 February 2010 - 01:09 AM' timestamp='1266455346' post='2188456'] being an agressor and being on the offense/defense are two completely different things. you guys are turning this into way more than what it was meant to be. i was just referring to Archon's statement that CnG is fighting a defensive war but TOP/friends quickly found that they were the ones on the defensive shortly after certain events took place. If TOP/friends were truely on the offense, you'd find a lot more out of PM and actively out finding targets. Instead, you see many in PM or if they're staggered correctly(like myself, lol), then they're doing what they can to keep their head above water. now, i had another question that wasnt directed to archon(but he responded to only one part of my post). what are the irrepairable damages that TOP/friend's inflicted when they attacked? [/quote] Thank god, it's not just me that understands basic concepts like this.
  8. [quote name='Denial' date='18 February 2010 - 01:01 AM' timestamp='1266454873' post='2188435'] No, that's not actually how the terms "aggressors" and "defenders" are used in the Cyberverse. At all. [/quote] Agressors/Defenders and Aggressive/Defensive are two very different things. That's not a hard concept to understand either
  9. [quote name='jamesdanaher' date='18 February 2010 - 12:55 AM' timestamp='1266454501' post='2188425'] No- this is a defensive war for C&G. We were attacked. We are defending. The tables have since turned, but that is irrelevant. No one in C&G is advocating 0 tech for TOP et al. As for the final sentence- why would we submit a rough draft when TOP has made it perfectly clear to us that they will only accept White Peace or Eternal war? If TOP and co. change their mind- then we would, of course, talk terms. [/quote] Actually it is only defensive when you don't have the upper hand. Once you have the upper hand you no longer defending your alliance(s) but actually aggressively hitting your enemy. Why don't people get that? It really isn't a hard concept to understand. Really it isn't!
  10. Once again it was great fighting PC and NoR. I didn't have a chance to fight DT. Now, PC can I please have my SDI crew back?
  11. [quote name='Ashoka the Great' date='17 February 2010 - 04:37 PM' timestamp='1266424668' post='2187633'] Did you actually [i]intend[/i] to insult Chefjoe there? [/quote] You do not know much of Jesper do you?
  12. Joke Announcements got boring back in 2007... Good luck to all though and I promise to give, once this war is over (and if it doesn't break any terms) the first person who gets a BAPS/Valhalla nation that is not a ghost and has been a member of said alliance for more than 93 days a nice wee prize.
  13. Never re-rolled, although after a month or so I wish I did due to resources, but in the end decided not to. I believe doing so would be cheating, as it is your job to do your job as Nation Leader with what ever your first lot of settlers hand you.
  14. [quote name='Merrie Melodies' date='12 February 2010 - 10:01 PM' timestamp='1266012111' post='2178186'] Indeed good sir, the aliment afflicting class and decorum seems to have swept through our world at a pandemic rate. On another note, don't get to put off with the people running your SDI, I'd trade all the first born in my nation right this moment for even a poorly operating SDI. See you when this radio active cloud settles and if not I will see you on the other side [/quote] Very true about the SDI crew, but I paid them a lot of money to have a better ratio of 1:1, which was working until those evil PC guys stole them and forced me to replace my tried and tested team with just out of high school punks. It is just the shame our nations burn, it would have been good to go down in a blaze of glory against an \m/ nation or two...
  15. This war just gets dumber and dumber. Something wrong with alliance leadership nowadays
  16. I know mate but I'm letting rip to my guys for being idiots in back channels as a good MoFA does. I just don't get the whole posturing from either side when it comes to battles. I have hired, and fired the best generals my poor nation can buy, not to mention had my SDI staff nicked by PC - but I don't come on here and gloat like a hardman when things go my way. Respect between National Leaders, not to mention Alliance Leaders can go a long way. It's called class But I guess, some feel the need to compensate for their lack of national leadership to their nation or whatever... maybe?
  17. [quote name='Emperor Marx' date='12 February 2010 - 12:41 PM' timestamp='1265978508' post='2177459'] Perhaps you should instruct Lord Emares on how to properly win a ground assault before making such childish claims. [/quote] Not possible, but heh if you want to play the hardman card, PC are by far the best alliance since BAPS I have had to fight - in fact, I'll admit between the three targets I've faced (including the current one) I'm getting my backside handed back to me on a plate but today my only PC target (now) who by the way is not in anarchy (can I use your SDI crew mate?) failed in his two ground attacks - after he nuked me and forced my deployed soldiers to return home... doesn't make him or his alliance bad. You and others really need to find some new material, as your current stuff sucks, even as propaganda.
  18. Lord Shua of the nation Shualand of the Alliance Poison Clan. All I have to ask is will he please return my SDI crew....
  19. I think the real answer is because a week or so ago he was a 20K NS Nation. Also the fact it's Pax-Me and he's a bit of a scrooge.... Enjoy the fight everyone.
  20. [quote name='(DAC)Syzygy' date='11 February 2010 - 04:45 PM' timestamp='1265906730' post='2174915'] Besides that, I never said anything about "white peace" or that C&G does not have the right to strike back. The point is simply that a defender is only a defender as long as there is an attacker willing to keep attacking. In the moment the attacker withdraws (offers surrender), and the defender does not take this offer - he stops being a defender. He is then no longer in defense, but in pursuit. That is why in almost every country there is a law that you can defend yourself against an attack with any means - but you have to stop if the attack is over, else you will be taken to court as well. And that again means, all obligations to "defend" someone or the right to "defend" yourself end at the moment the attacker offers surrender. Leading to the point where all these allies claiming the moral highground "because TOP fired the first shot!!!" simply keep fighting "because they can" and not because they have any obligations. Which is, like earlier mentioned, exactly the same mentality and attitude like in hegemony times. Most will claim otherwise, to justify a prolonged war, but still logic beats their efforts and like always, the blood they spill today without need will come back to them later. But thats the funny part about history. It always repeats itself, and those currently in power never believe it. [/quote] Spot on, although I do not expect anyone to take any notice of it. Rulers of Planet Bob are to one dimensional - basically they do not recognise of acknowledge what you have just stated.
  21. Good luck Hydra. Have fun, as I know you will.
  22. FFS, people should get of their backs. They came in and were over awed by the sheer power they came up against. It happens, at least they came in. Good luck in the future HoL.
  23. [quote name='circlewood' date='11 February 2010 - 04:38 PM' timestamp='1265906311' post='2174893'] Sinn Fein in "Orange"!? You have got to be having a laugh. [/quote] [quote name='Floatsam' date='11 February 2010 - 04:44 PM' timestamp='1265906686' post='2174911'] Is the selection of Orange as your color sphere supposed to be some sort of malignant irony? [/quote] I agree with this. [quote name='commander thrawn' date='11 February 2010 - 04:44 PM' timestamp='1265906699' post='2174913'] Hmmm... I wonder what the general public response to this will be. [/quote] Indeed, indeed and indeed. Not impressed with the name at all.
  24. [quote name='Overlord Shinnra' date='11 February 2010 - 05:39 AM' timestamp='1265866771' post='2174075'] topic says only 500k + alliances are included. Also.. updating tomorrow. [/quote] Why? What the point doing a War Statistic thread and then going but only x, y and z is going in. So this thread will be useless to historians...
