[quote name='Thomasj_tx' timestamp='1328073515' post='2912309'] Great war. Respectful opponents. No trash talking and all fought back. I would love to fight along side you any day. Best wishes on the rebuild. [/quote] same to you, great coordination you had! Oh, and please tell me the secret to your nukes and SDIs (9 thwarted in a row yesterday)

[quote name='Awesome Dog' timestamp='1327826644' post='2909325'] There isn't enough trashtalk and whining in this thread. At this pace it's going to take me months to not read three pages. [/quote] bla...down declare...bla...unfair....bla....was attacked by nasty big nations with nasty nukes...bla...OP is so mean, where is my mummy?... better?

Good idea, paul! I also cant speak for Synergy but as Darth and I agree, Wes also has to

here is a better one, taken directly at update: [img]http://i.imgur.com/carqT.png[/img] not visible: me, ranking 13th from being the last one of all nations a day before Was a nice round guys, thanks to TPC for a great fight!

[quote name='Einer' timestamp='1321988804' post='2849156'] I've also spent the second most money in TE, while slaughtering every OP/Synergy nation that got in my path. An unbloodied PS nation spied away the last of my nukes and started dishing out 450+ infra damage per day, and the other two nations he hit already went inactive. I have no intention of sitting there and playing target while you break ground for OP to finally drag my nation down. I'd rather zero out my nation and concentrate on all my December deadlines for work. Enjoy playing with yourselves. [/quote] same for me, Hodor and me fought each other like hell, but 10 days of almost no sleep is enough - RL is more important, c u next round!

[quote name='Owney OSullivan' timestamp='1320907767' post='2842608'] Blah blah blah let's drop nukes and blow stuff up! First one to anarchy an entire opposing alliance gets a special prize! Only Aditya and anisho212 to go on the TPC side. 34/36, not too shabby. 29/35 for OP and 12/20 for Syn. <3 nukes Thanks for the fun fight so far, gentlemen. [/quote] the first sensible statement I have seen in this thread, so far

[quote name='Cellardoor' timestamp='1319122189' post='2829262'] Why would you NOT incite gov't on someone on an 11 day stack at 3k infra at war with your alliance? I don't recall any war where we've not incited gov't at least in the first few days of the war. [/quote] I can tell you why: Because my tax collect would have been big enough to ensure a proper war for a long time. Inciting propaganda, blockades etc. were clearly intended for AFTER the war - and that is a whole different subject.

[quote name='Owney OSullivan' timestamp='1319094406' post='2829164'] But your RL obligation(i.e. your vacation) is over, so if this war was still ongoing you'd let your alliance mates suffer while not participating in the war? Don't you think they would expect you to attack your opponents once you returned to activity(provided we PM'd you and did not attack you, and were capable of declaring on targets)? If not, that's certainly not an alliance I'd like to be a part of. Edit: Don't take this as a personal attack or anything freedomfighter, I just find it to be a curious situation and I doubt if we gave you a free pass you'd just be a non-combatant for the remainder of the war. That would be pretty much be infra hugging. TE is for wars and it's hard to imagine someone not fighting for their alliance if they are able to, and also it's hard to imagine the alliance letting someone get away with that. [/quote] I admit, it would have been a difficult situation, but nothing you can not solve if talking to people with common sense. A pity that talks did not have a chance here...anyways, what has happened, has happened, CN:TE goes on. For me, the subject is discussed^^

[quote name='Owney OSullivan' timestamp='1319052409' post='2828746'] So if we PM'd you and asked you politely not to attack us in our alliance war, you wouldn't have? I wonder what your gov and fellow alliance members would think about you sitting out a war because the opposition asked you not to engage. You're talking about war ethics, but you'd gladly let your alliance mates burn while you go untouched and not participate? Something seems off with that. What if you were ordered to attack targets? [/quote] I suppose my alliance mates understand that RL is more important than CN and ethics more important than "alliance honor" - at least for me. Different value systems, I suppose.

[quote name='Thomasj_tx' timestamp='1318977286' post='2828220'] First, I did not disregard that he was away. If fact, I took his bio into consideration. If his bio did not say he was coming back in the middle of the war, I would not have assigned hit to anyone. I never waste slots on obviously inactive players. Second, as you pointed out earlier, and confirmed by his bio, that he was on vacation. Hardly an "entirely uncontrollable OOC situation". I went on vacation in June and knew very well I ran the risk of being attacked and in fact I was. If I recall, I was attacked by TPC nations during a late round free for all. [/quote] hey guys, first of all thanks for posting my TE name plus WC on public forums from a strategic point of view I understand that you took me out (effectively, congrats^^), but - believe it or not - I have some kind of ethics as well: If you would have spared me and would have written a PM not to attack you, I would have not attacked you, simple as it is. But if battle ethics are that down in TE that no one can be trusted - this was the right move. Anyways, it is kind of frustrating anyhow^^ well, we move on, life is more than TE ^^ PS: My holiday was great anyways

yeah, come to Synergy, the only alliance in which you get to assigned to government jobs without knowing it^^ what is an "advisor" anyways o/ Synergy
