IYIyth, you're going down. Out for the count.

I shudder to think what the next Apocalypse Poll will bring. One would think that the rag tag bunch of survivors had been through enough and providence would cut them some slack now. But Nooooo, fate can be such a bitch, no?

Well now, I hope you are happy, you killjoy. Taking the fizz out of everyone's bubbly like that.[spoiler]We apparently live in an age where treaties cannot be cancelled because alliances are moving in different directions and one party comes to the conclusion that it cannot work out. There has to be a misconduct by one side, according to the logic here. So when IRON cancels a treaty for a reason that happens to involved a reference to another block, it can only be because we regard NPO as having acted in a very evil way by considering that block. Which means we must hate that block.
Doesn't follow. I know some of you have agenda's to push. Magicninja and Rush Sykes (given neither of you are FA officials I will not tie your opinions to your alliances) are now broadcasting that they already knew IRON to be a bad sort and have a desire no doubt to justify that by assuming that IRON hates NPO and CnG and all their works because it then makes them the aggrieved party.
Others just want to make a split between NPO and IRON because they are two of the most powerful players around, and not seeing any obvious wrongdoing from IRON towards NPO or NPO towards IRON they want to scream at NPO "SEE!! SEE!! THEY WANT TO BURN YOUR ALLIES." Which given we are still allied to their allies doesn't really make sense. But whoever lets sordid things like facts get in the way of good propoganda eh?
The truth is IRON didn't, does not, and will not want to watch CnG get pounded. We didn't like it during the last war, and if it happens again (which I doubt will be in the near future) we are not looking forward to it. Clearly some in their number have a mild dislike towards us so we are unlikely to trade Christmas cards with those individuals, but we are still allied to and friends with The International so screwing over CnG means screwing over our allies. Given that isn't what IRON does I can only assume that others are projecting their standards onto us....make of that what you will.
The truth of this matter is that we do not see a good future with NPO. Our paths are divergent and not likely to immediately realign. They accept that. We accept that. The examples in the OP are of us not working well together, not of us having a bitter dispute or completely misaligned goals or some great wrong that we are punishing with cancellation. It was just a sign that we do not work well together at this present time. We went down the road before of keeping a treaty that could not work well until a major wrong was committed. Seeing as so many have brought it up people should be aware of what that was. Was that a good idea? Did it end well for either side? Is it a practice to be encouraged? No. Should IRON tred the same path? No.
That is all this is. We didn't work well together. Not "your goals are abhorrent to us." Not "you have betrayed us." Not "you are a great evil." Simply, "we don't work well together." I know that is a rare thing in this world, hence everyone assuming that we believe CnG must be destroyed at all cost because they are used to the idea that something must have been done wrong for a split. But that is not the case. To those on both sides trolling the other, you are like the "bros" that call the ex a hoe after an amicable break up...you are not helping and a great many of you I think are doing it not because you feel bad about the break up but because you disliked the ex. When quite frankly, I still expect to see NPO down at the bar on Friday night and hope to see them around plenty.
Peace. [/spoiler] -
Jose Estupido. OK.
Also the pantsless thunderbolt!! -
Just for purely academic purposes, what did the STA do to Valhalla or vice-versa that led to this bonhomie.

Caption!
Happy Towel Day. .. .

STA Passed 3 Mil? Time to head for the bomb shelters.

That's a powerful cancellation clause ... Extends beyond it's own doctrine :blink:
>_<
Congratulations, both of yous.
-
It is coming!!!!! Run for the hills!

NoCB was interesting to me, as that is around the time i started taking notice of the wider game.
Karma by far was the most interesting time i have had in this game. Both the build-up and then the execution of it. -
A peace time cancellation getting so much attention?
I've been working on the railroad. All the live-long day. I've been working on the railroad Just to pass the time away.
But they be bringing the steam hammer to whup that steel on down.

if anyone ever spied on me I would spank him for 20 straight minutes and then go on with my business. TTK doesn't know what they're doing
I believe their intent is to discourage repeat incidents, not encourage them. ;)
-
Congratulations on the nowedge and the treaty.
-
OK, the thread was slightly funny to begin with, then it went south from there. Hey, as long as you are having fun.
-
Dogs need barcodes and even sub-dermal RFID implants. This decree is not only short-sighted, it is discriminatory and is preventing the canines from availing of new tech.
-
It already has been. But thank you for the kind words.
Good to see.
-
You are weird.So, the people that like us thought it was funny and the people who don't like us hated it. That's weird.
Also, ENI > Cable -
Its not as it you did not expect this. Cheer up, have some beer, Rampage3 is buying.God you guys are tools..

They have their own troubles at home due to their meddling in an ally's internal issues.It wounds me to see NPL be taken in by a pair that has done nothing for you. I assume that they have convinced you that Fark's support of NPL in the past was their doing: nothing could be further from the truth. We will speak of this later...I am certain you will understand more clearly once you have done so.
-
Whoa there boss man. Nobody asked us member folk whether it is even NPL's place to meddle here. Please respond to the point of order raised in the Internal Affairs board. We the NPL members call a charter breach by you announcing this!As per discussion by NPL's high government, the Nuclear Proliferation League recognizes Cable77 and 905 as the leaders of Farkistan.
Fark has helped NPL in several instances over the past two years; as such, should the true leaders of Fark need our help, we stand ready. -
In all my experience with NATO, i cant think of a situation where outside influence impacted their keeping or dropping or even signing of a treaty. If you look at their current treaty portfolio you would find more than enough examples of them dancing to their own tune.
-
Good luck to both of you.
