Forget the care bear stare. You need a care bear drone strike...

Sounds like someone could use a care bear stare, @##& man. You need to get off the forum and find a job besides riding us all day. People have said we suck in much more clever and entertaining ways. Playing a self-righteous zealot is hitting a bit too close to home for you. I mean the fact you left the Bob entirely and came back here solely to gripe 'bout lil ol us says something...and probably speaks more poorly of you than anything that's ever going to hurt our feelings. But. You know. Care bear. So I say that because I care about you.

Kids, this is what happens when you smoke the "tea" instead of drinking it. Don't do drugs.

Out of the inane ramblings on this thread, I think the idea that we were ever unilaterally allied with Myth is the disturbing part.

...it would generally fit with the response about being martyred for others.

I won't comment much on Chim and the previous wars, but I will say I did have a modicum of sympathy for MI6, right up until having to deal with the wonderful conversations to be had on your forums with Charles et al. trying to see what the hell happened. I recall something about 20 pieces of silver and making yourselves out like a crucified messiah. I returned the favor with an affectionate invitation to Always Look on the Bright Side of Life. At that point, it was pretty easy to just stop caring about what actually happened to you. The view I had as non-high gov was that Chim was actively looking for making a move on us post-war as a vendetta. I generally take the Ender's Game view of how you deal with enemies like that. Maybe you didn't see it that way, maybe the info didn't filter down to you, but whatever could theoretically have been salvaged was lost right about there with letting all outside contact be through the worst elements in your membership list. I say all that having some affection for a few members, active and former, of MI6. The frustration was seeing it become an echo chamber, where "What if Umbrella is plotting to roll us?" becomes "Let's prepare war games for Umbrella rolling us" to "Let's get Umbrella to burn against Doom etc" a la the April announcement about Operation Goliath or whatever. If someone is going to hate you for the long haul, you might as well embrace their hate and make sure they never have a chance to act on it. I am happy to see we did exactly that, though I lament the people who evidently *weren't* in on all this being dragged along with it by your leadership.

You should do a casualty count vs tech lost chart for each of these people.

Are you willing to sell tech at preferential rates to your alliance friends?

Welcome Sengoku, glad to see you with us. Now you too can know the glory of being yelled at to fill your slots for STORM's glory.

Congrats on the retirement, my good sir. My condolences to Lord of Darkness to have to take over things!

Congrats to you and yours'! Those of us in Umbrella appreciate you being chill and willing to work with us. Hopefully you will move on to even greater things as time goes on. Until then, you deserve to celebrate. Hopefully I see you all on IRC or the forums more often.

Going well with lox does not constitute political expertise, TOP.

There are a critical lack of Three Amigos gifs in this right 'ere. This has now been rectified. I would say Oculus now has a....plethora...of treaties.

Man, am I glad to see such a classy poster back in the game. I may not ever get to fly formation with you folks, but you always have my respect. That and a dollar can get you a coffee and a convenience store, I hear.

Are the circle sizes based on attacks, NS, or ego? I feel Umbrella Arrogance(tm) is grossly underrepresented in this.

Congratulations on both existing and choosing us to certify and defend your existence. If you need any help we're always in #umbrella and free to query as needed. ....and we always need tech. STORM demands it and Roq yells at me and says mean things if I don't gather more :(.

Third time is the charm.

It might have something to do with the relative NS levels (and I'm in the middle of the NS pack for Umb), but I guess I'm crazy like that. Given I woke up this morning and there is exactly 1 free slot in my range and would blow a stagger.... Keep peddlin' that stuff, pal.

Good. I've been waiting for this since eQ and you joining the 21 nation dogpile warriors. Please do so he stops whining about us. Some of us need more sleep nowadays as well, especially after dealing with significant others over the weekend...

Congrats to Avakael. We've come a long way from plastering me with nukes during my first war on CN. :)

The problem with this is it makes "Roll the Neutrals" very confusing. The sides here are all dis-combobulated. DT with United Equestria?! NPO with Tywin?! BONES and Kaskus? Anarchy in the streets/cats and dogs sleeping together etc. etc. So am I to understand then that Lowsten is actually running this entire war as a bid for Argent supremacy, and United Equestria will be replacing Sengoku in a new AZTEC? EDIT: I can spell. I promise.

I never forget my bagel (please sell tech to me :().

-------------- Care-A-Lot is getting tired of your needless slander and vituperation and has expressed considerable concern at your possible connections to known terrorists and sympthaizers. Are you related to this known criminal? Do you associate with him? Given your connections to other known monsters and ne'er-do-wells, you would do well to give us the information we need. What are your associations with this international terrorist? We appreciate your cooperation, citizen. I remind you that we can *make* you care, so please refrain from further agitation and tell us what you know. Respectfully, Agent Grumpy Bear alias: "Crownguard" -------------

It would be pretty great to have reliable tech sellers and all so I can keep my slots filled. Roq gets on me so @#$% much about that and I have enough stress in my life :(.
