Colonel Herzog

Wow. Shows how busy I've gotten when I miss this kind of announcement. Congrats to GATO and, of course, ourselves.

Many thanks to my opponents. It was fun.

This entry is still miles behind [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5A2SCsoYyIQ"]the worst NPO music video ever[/url].) Nicely done. [/quote] The waving of the small flag up close in front of the camera already has me in tears laughing! [edit]"...missiles of desire…" Perhaps Karma was justified [/edit]

Very good!

[quote name='aineshane' timestamp='1342067857' post='3008883'] How many alliances were required for a VE beat down? Yeah, I hope Pacifica doesn't feel it's a tough guy or something [/quote] It feels good to have friends.

Congrats and o/ to VE for putting up a classy fight.

It's true! Nobody does news like the New[i]s[/i] Pacific Order! And hey look, my name in lights! I'm so proud! o/ to the Media Corps for all their hard work.

A nice respectful sendoff. Good job.

[quote name='berbers' timestamp='1341621557' post='3005320'] You are implying NATO needs help, once we finish off MK and Umbrella, we plan on entering in defense of NPO. [/quote] Heh. Don't come too quickly. War is no fun when ALL your enemies have been ZIed by NATO.

Very interesting. Nice logo too.

Nice hitchhiking references in the… KMA. Have fun!

Nice tank.

Ohhh! I love these things. Always have! Will listen when I get home.

Thank you Oceania. Best of luck and may you have plenty of fun!

My thanks to VE. Not a lot of targets for a new nation like mine. Then you guys came along. Nice declaration too by the way.

[quote name='D34th' timestamp='1340723164' post='2997271'] Sorry, my loyalty is to STA. [/quote] STA once was in a bad situation. In BiPolar you had to make tough choices. The world around you conspired to make any action available to you open to legitimate criticism. There was just no good way out even though you had the best intentions. I seem to recall the phrase of (or something similar to) "We follow our treaties" bring used. And that's what you did even though it put you in a terrible twisted position. People accused you of being NpO's lapdog and worse, but none of it was true. You just did your best to do right given the mess that war was. While this war isn't (yet?) as messed up as BiPolar there are similarities. We have allies on both sides. Any action we were to take would open us to criticism from someone. But in the end we chose to follow our treaties. I'd think that if anybody would understand this it would be an STAer. We are no more lapdogs than you were. I admire your fight for The Greater Good, but you have no leg to stand on accusing us of lapdogism, or whichever word you wish to use, especially not after we made a plain worded announcement informing the world of our intentions and of our dislike of this conflict.

[quote name='IYIyTh' timestamp='1340658387' post='2996148'] These "despicable." people also happen to be your allies. [/quote] Times change.

o/ GATO. Nice to see such reasonable and respectable attitudes about having a clean war.

It seems I made a mess. To Methrage and The Pansy: I'm sorry for my actions. I meant no disrespect towards you, have absolutely no ill will towards you, and was only meaning to post conversationally. Obviously I crossed a line that I did not intend. So again you have my sincerest apologizes. The same goes to my Pacifican Comrades and our allies. I am sorry for any and all embarrassment and troubles I caused. There is not an emoticon worthy of the shame I feel, so this one will have to do:

[quote name='Methrage' timestamp='1338940056' post='2977918'] Although with my comment I meant nothing bad towards NPO, you guys made CN interesting when you were on top. Its competitiveness that makes CN interesting... [/quote] On that we're totally agreed. And I don't think anyone here though you meant anything bad. My apologizes if it seemed that way.

[quote name='The Pansy' timestamp='1338939417' post='2977912'] Avoidance?? You obviously don't know me sprinkles [/quote] I was talking to Methrage there, cupcake.

[quote name='Methrage' timestamp='1338936268' post='2977882'] GOONS have spent months trying to keep me a smoldering crater, with no success. Non Grata have tried keeping me a smoldering crater with no success. Both of them got a lot of their smaller nations ZIed a few times trying, both even got me to ZI a few times. ODN fought me a few months trying to make me into a crater during the DH-NPO War after I declared on MK to assist you guys, although they never had success in getting me there. Keeping someone at ZI is much harder than you might imagine it to be, especially if its someone like me who has nearly a full set of wonders and know the war mechanics very well. [/quote] Even so, bravery [i]still[/i] does not equal invincibility. Though I feel you and The Pansy are trying to needlessly argue semantics at this point which is something I refuse to do. Best of luck in your continual avoidance of craterdom.

[quote name='The Pansy' timestamp='1338934873' post='2977866'] It won't just be him you have to make a smouldering crater sweetie Still want to take the pop? [/quote] Just correcting an apparent misconception. I've been said fearless crater before so I know quite well that bravery does not equal invincibility.

[quote name='Methrage' timestamp='1338930290' post='2977808'] I fear nothing, so I might be a bad target to practice on as you would never succeed. [/quote] Being unafraid and being a smoldering crater are not mutually exclusive. Just sayin'.

Well that was disappointingly quick. Especially since Rotavele said Sovrana would eventually be opening to... members. I know I shouldn't expect honesty around here but... Hell... Nevermind. I'm just a grumpy old man expecting more than most are willing to give. Carry on.
