It really wouldn't be mutually exclusive even if that was the case. This is the problem with your post and Chax's.
"No one is a lapdog unless they're on the other side, and especially if their names are Legion and Invicta."
The idea that there aren't predominant political actors that whip the rest of their spheres in line is stupid and there have always been satellite alliances that are passive.
ODN's showing is surprisingly low in this poll.

Please vote for Umbrella. -

the "lulz we're not rly lapdogs vote for us don't" unity is highly entertaining, it's almost scripted.

Don't be jealous of our bromance with daddy MK. Not every alliance has the opportunity to be actual friends with their allies. It's okay though, your alliance will experience real friendship some day. Just not yet.
Not yet. -
Oh, well, it depends on which ally they roll. If they roll GOONS, that'd just be plain mean. If they roll themselves... well... who knows.

Symphony is politically irrelevant, so it really doesn't count. The answer you were looking for is the odp you signed with IRON last August. Good ole earth changing ODPs.
Now, if MK were to target one of your allies for a rolling, how do you think Umbrella would respond?

How dare you insult Symphony you sea urchin. -
[quote name='supercoolyellow' timestamp='1341526950' post='3004193']
Quality choice. when is the last time that Umbrella made an FA move outside of MK's sphere of influence right?
[/quote]
Symphony is not an MK ally, only by association of Nordreich are they in any way remotely tied to MK, so I'd say our signing of Symphony was not orchestrated by MK. Though, I did receive warnings from 133t that if we didn't do that we would get rolled and cut off from Toad's Kitchen.. so...

Umbrella is.

I see how it is, Cuba.

Well, I mean that in the sense of Xiphosis doing an OWF announcement just so another alliance can hit yours, and then that other alliance destroying their "record" by declaring on an alliance that will defeat them. -
I really am unsure as to who I should clap for.

some alliances haven't been given the chance to rebuild their upper tier, what with getting beat down less than 6 months ago and all.

Proper Planning Prevents Poor Performance. -
While in a few ways I do indeed agree with you Myth, the premise that holding your entire upper-tier in peace mode is denying the other side the ability to "crush" your alliance and therefore potentially cause it to disband or otherwise -- that is part lunacy and part wishful strategic thinking. Ordinarily, I would say it would be [i]smart[/i] (maybe 2+ years ago), but when the side being opposed lacks members with the intelligence to properly plan militarily and that same side has a given of never actually going to matter much ever again and is bogged down by the bunker mentality... there's no future for them in some glorious fashion unless politics entirely change (which won't happen) and the dynamics of those opposing them suddenly change (won't happen either). So.. Dos Equis and Super Friends hiding their upper-tier in peace mode will accomplish nothing other than "living to not fight another day" per the typical for the former.
I've been in one of their alliances before, I've seen how things go, I know how those people think, and I know that the same "lol we're denying them!" mentality still exists. All the while, the majority of the attacked alliances lose credibility and any semblance of respect as fighting alliances. The fact that your side failed to plan for a [i]quite[/i] expected second repeat of the last war -- well, that's your fault, just like the first time. Peace mode is supposed to be used (ordinarily) in a strategic fashion, your side has a history of just ducking into it for the duration of entire wars and then after the war saying they won by default.
Maybe this time those same alliances will expect a third round down the road and [i]actually[/i] proactively attack the other side this time instead of waiting in the middle of the road to be hit by a truck?
Sometimes giving everything [i]is[/i] everything. -
I'll dig up your address and mail you, like five years ago. Though, I am certain your address must of changed between then and now, yes? Although, I am quite certain you must dislike me on some level since I quit Nordreich last year and deleted/re-rolled and joined the Mostly Harmless Alliance (you did say as much in January). However, that aside, you have been a splendid friend these last almost six years, and despite a few things you cost me along the way (I know you remember those things... heh), I have no bad feelings for you.
T'was a pleasure being in Nordreich/Grossdeutches Reich/Norden Verein and again Nordreich with you while you were Kaiser, my mentor and my greatest moment when I left the International Communist Party as their Director of Foreign Relations just to $%&@ things up and roll !@#$ with you. Your time here has been spent well, despite your near non-existent presence for the last year or so.
I'll see you around.
Regards,
Cuba
EDIT: Grammar. -
To be rather honest, if anything, I'd congratulate MK on running the show while everyone else is too busy arguing with one another. Strategists win wars. And MK are !@#$@#$ Risk masters.

Cuba was never relevant.

Just for that, I'm not sending any Umbrella aid to the suffering GOONS people. Nor am I dropping my peace mode to do it. $%&@ GOONS.
<3 Marx
Bye!

I figured I'd stop by and wish my friends in GOONS the best in their new war venture. The rest of you going on about peace mode, war mode, RoK and MCXA and the other bountiful retarded subjects just need to step away from your thrones for a little bit. Yeah, I'm talking about all of you e-lawyer tards about treaty clauses and the other irrelevant hypocritical stupid !@#$.
Have fun guys! I'll see the results of all this madness later!

So, what's the point of this thread? We know he's back. God knows he keeps posting in/making blogs. I did miss him though, Bassman told me via message when zog left.
-
Ugh. I hate being called Proest. Stupid name req's. Please just call me Cuba, like everyone has been for going on six years now. Btw, we've talked on IRC before, remember the name Cuba? You also applied to my alliance elsewhere.
Anyway. I hope things work out for you. -
I'll approach this from a different standing than my initial what the $%&@ post.
Honestly, reading the OP, I felt like I had just stepped out of a therapy session I wasn't meant to ever be in -- all the while, Shutter Island was playing on the screen and you kept calling me Chuck. Rotavele, for what it's worth, you're an all right person... but god damn is this !@#$ creepy as $%&@. Please just stop giving out your own information and stop enabling the other patients.
I really mean that. That's not me being facetious. And, well, this wasn't a thread I expected my last pre-vacation post to be in either.

Who INT decides to hold a treaty with is entirely their business and their business alone for whatever reason.

Logic is forbidden around here, yo. Didn't you get the memo? -
People sure do enjoy spying on my little 'ole nation. I mean, if Fark or whoever it is that's doing it wants my nation data... just ask. Stop wasting money on a 10K NS nation.
EDIT: Grammar. -
That this 'argument' about whether or not the Nordreich alliance are or are not National Socialists is still going on after all of these years is rather pathetic and silly. Some people find one thing and hold onto it forever. Learn to give up the ghost folks. Whether or not Nordreich as a whole or in part is any of what people claim from time to time has no bearing on anything, really. This is just a stupid line that people like to toss around repeatedly.
Grow up folks. Play as you want and others will play how they want. -

Oh my god. I had been wondering where GB went. Please, don't ever post another topic here. Ever.
Hi though, it's Cuba.
