  1. Sengoku and Oculus is at war with Emperor Mic. KoN was wise, and didn't keep him as a member, or aid him. You picked to do both. And knew what you were doing. And even still, you were addressed diplomatically. You instead choose to attack us directly to further support harboring someone at war with us. Thats a an aggressive premeditated !@#$%* move. But its your call, and will be responded to. The fact that you had allies bulking up and contacting me innediately about it suggests its not good intentioned and wasn't ever meant that way.
  2. Despite my fundamental misgivings on the very nature of the discussion, I will humbly propose @James Spanier as the independent of both sides arbiter of all micro drama contained within, and as the sole determinant of what constitutes brown instability and the cause thereof.
  3. Is Brown instability a bad thing? At a fundamental level, stability for the sake of stability becomes inherently at odds with freedom and libertarian values.
  4. I don't really like dealing in hypotheticals if they can be avoided.
  5. I realize that Cowboys made a lot of announcements tonight. But our love for Gremlins comes first. And for the record, our love for Gremlins is not related to the size of their hands.
  6. Some people feel neutrals should be protected, like delicious animals with government support like solar power. Some people feel like neutrals should be rolled for their land, like fat cows in need of milking. Some people feel the need to sign pacts of neutrality with neutral alliances. Cowboys at this time have no stance on neutrals. Thanks for bearing with tonights FA updates. Tomorrow promises more of the same.
  7. I will probably release a formal statement in the next week so the position is well documented, but don't be surprised to hear at that time that Minc news is the official Cowboys radio station. You have only let me down once, and thats better than most marriages.
  8. You know who you are. Over the years you have left me disappointed The good news is, you have time to change your narrative. Don't squander the chance while you have it. We may not be here tomorrow.
  9. If anyone reading this could sexit, they would be doing just that (instead of reading this).
  10. Just putting it out there. They seem like great people. If anyone means them harm, I would disband cowboys to save them. And all military and political actions short of that will be employed in such a case. Grämlins will always be supported to the fullest extend by our alliance. The commitment of Cowboys is clear.
  11. Sengoku has never had anyone ghost a different aa and pretended not to be responsible for them. While obviously I have had my differences with how they have handled a few things that led to the formation of Cowboys, I will say that they have always been willing to stand up and say they are exactly what they are and not pretend to hide behind a wall of !@#$%^&*.
  12. Oh christ. Every single discussion on here regardless of how unrelated is you !@#$%*ing and moaning. Sparta hits Polar? Time for Caliph to !@#$%* about Oculus. You are a whiny sniveling little !@#$ no wonder no one wanted to give you peace. And yes, war with Mongols started because Bones decided to sanction someone.
  13. If drafted, I will not run; if nominated, I will not accept; if elected, I will not serve.
  14. Any marriage that lasts less than 25 hours can be annulled, no questions asked. Cowboys love that rule. It is how we have so many blenders.
  15. Not a big fan of shots in general. Tends to always end up the same way:
  16. Cowboys drink. Miss a nuke? Have a drink. Miss a 2nd? Have a 2nd. If you miss 13, you post like doornail.
  17. Cowboys stand by everything in this thread and consider it our first of 4 war updates. Edit: Except the things said by non-Cowboys. We cannot take responsibility for them.
  18. I had no idea Invicta and MI6 were even at war with each other before this thread.
  19. I don't buy this. I think it is either: 1) an excuse used by people who before Oculus didn't set up 'dynamic global confrontations, new and enjoyable politics' and now still aren't. 2) a masked call for someone to roll Oculus because thats what the OP wants (or both) I feel like a lot of the comments, like yours fall into category 2 and to be honest, I really don't care and will just ignore them. I don't have to care about Oculus. But looking at the first and being honest. Monsters Inc has done more setting up interesting wars in the past few months than TTK has in its existence. Correct me if I am wrong on that. But they have in the past few months been attacking an Oculus protectorate, attacking Oculus directly, and attacking alongside Oculus and outside Oculus aa's. They have hit people off a piat (preempting an uninvolved aa), and off an 'invite' for an oa(?). If you want to do something, maybe it will put you alongside Oculus. Maybe it will put you against Oculus. Maybe Oculus won't give a $%&@. But the only thing stopping people is themselves. If DK felt strongly that they wanted to roll Valhalla, they could have pushed that agenda on their treaty partners in Oculus and seen if they could work a coalition and make it happen, just like all major wars are usually done. Or just yolo'ed in as some people did. Not doing either and blaming Oculus is lazy. Sitting around and bemoaning Oculus as the reason that someone else isn't setting up something interesting for you is just you failing to be interesting yourself. Especially those aa's have been approached by Oculus at various points to see what interesting could be set up for them, what they wanted out of CN and ways they could be engaged and interact and make an interesting dynamic, and have instead fallen back on 'we will get back to you'. Maybe they have since I left for Cowboys, but I doubt it. Edit: And to WC's points above and the potential of a Doom-Oculus war, she is well spoken on why it never made sense. I certainly don't begrudge them not acting in a way that wouldn't help them or make any sense,even if the crash crash would have amused unrelated masses. I might question their inability to stop their constituents from spreading that narrative of two spheres destined to crash, or question the wisdom of their FA actions that at times seemed more intent on securing allies in case of a conflict that made no sense; but I don't include not randomly starting a Doom-Oculus war as a critique in terms of my rant about people not taking any responsible for making their own interesting dynamics and then blaming others. I've never seen WC blame another like that, and wouldn't ever expect her to.
  20. The idea of Umbrella and Iron defending an ally isn't really related to Oculus at all. They had those ties beforehand and would have defended beforehand. Similarly, the idea of someone debating hitting an aa for lols without even a cb only to chicken out because they don't want to be hit by the aa's treaty partners isn't a new concept.
  21. So, if I'm getting this right you cannot have fun because you would have a hard time attacking NPO and winning? That does seem a dreadful disposition to be stuck with.
  22. I wouldn't ever want to sign a treaty where the other alliance wasn't honest. In my day back when I had the ability to sign treaties, I never signed one where I didn't think the other alliance wasn't fully honest with me, and rejected those where I felt different. Just having principles and not signing with the people you don't have enough trust with for them and you to be honest with is a step everyone can control for their own alliance. And canceling those who turn out to not be fully honest, fully committed, and instead duplicitous is an important second step. There definitely do seem to be some exceptions to these principles, although I won't sling mud. Instead, I will argue that another alternative is going fully paperless. Being paperless, you can know who your true friends are and not worry about the nuances.
  23. You should get back to disbanding AB.
