Van Hoo III

I'm going to call King William my chum, whether he wants to be or not. I will also weigh in here and state that he deserves to be interviewed and that I'd actually listen to that.

I hated CN apologies long before it became cool to do so.

I'm lost in our own DoW thread.

Guess MI6 had more "cool ones" than you thought.

Oh hey, he's attacking WANA with me. Welp, this just got awkward.

I don't know who ericsw is, but he seems to have a hardcore crush on PPO.

Very sneaky, Franz. Congrats!

Sup Xanth. Every time I respond to your query, you're gone.

Hey, man. I bought wonders this time. You read that, you crusty old crab? WONDERS. On the topic of peacemode. Yes, it is absolutely sound strategy. You want as many people as you can to be able to fight on their own terms an not on your enemy's and to be able to pick and choose the targets that will maximize damage, even if you're on the receiving end of an overwhelming beating. In my opinion though, alliance leaders (no matter how crappy their nation is) should lead the charge and stay out, at least for the first round. For me, if you're going to ask your members to shed pixels then you should be doing the same. I can't fathom sitting in peacemode while the nations who trust me and my decisions burn. Having said that, Chim being in peacemode is between him and his members. If MI6 gov and membership are fine with it, then the opinion of the world at large (mine included) is inconsequential.

All right, that was actually kinda funny. Point for Slytherin.

Well, of course I'm joking. That does it. More emotes from me from now on.

To be fair, it was an Iron Man lunchbox. I can hardly be blamed for taking it. This guy. This guy knows me. Ever since I first became active in MI6, I've liked you. Oh no, you are not taking that title, MI6 scum**! We turned heel. lol * I don't actually refer to anyone in MI6 as "scum", not even Chim. This comment is humorous in nature. Please don't tell anyone. Appearances and whatnot.

"What does Hoo think about this?" most certainly does though, right? ... RIGHT!?!?! ...

Two active alliances with a grudge going at it will do that, I guess.

Alliances were brought in between the first time it was on and the second, yeah. That's accurate.

Three weeks ago. We first heard about it three weeks ago. And then it was off. And then about 4 days ago it was on again. So no, no long term plan on our part. I think others were planning it sooner though, sure. We just weren't brought into the mix until mid-May.

I can't speak for every member, but I doubt you'll find a member of TBC who views that as an insult.

Who are you and what have you done with WANA?

The decision to not have a relationship with us was fine, the lies and insults were not. We did not start that.

This will come as a shock, but I completely agree with that.

Jumping Jesus on a pogostick, WE ARE NOT ATTACKING YOU FOR IT. We're attacking you because allies asked us to and and we had no problem saying yes because you personally (for the most part) are a liar who tried (and failed) to make us look like the bad guy because you lost stats and were terrified that you might lose more. We attempted to have a positive (or at least neutral) relationship with you, but not only did you not want that but you decided it was a smart move to make things up, sensationalize and exaggerate, badmouth us, and act like an all around d-bag for no real reason. MI6 isn't in the position it's in at random or because "the Man" is keeping you down, Chim. It's not because people lie about you or because they "fear" your potential. It's not because you're active and it makes folks jealous. It's not because people conspire against you. No one has to do anything at all, in fact, for you to remain in this position until the lights go off. They simply have to wait until you start shooting your mouth off and say (or do) something stupid. It's inevitable and requires zero plotting or scheming from other alliances. There's a reason that back when this world was more populated and full of actual intrigue that you were a blip on the radar at best. It's because you're just horrific at this on an epic level and don't seem to realize that.

Oh sure, let's just disregard your former MoFA who was in MI6 for years before deciding to go to TBC. He's not someone with insight at all. lol So tell me Chim, how did WE burn bridges? Remember, I have no problem calling you out when you lie. It's become a hobby, actually. And, we didn't plan this at all, so I'm not sure how you can surmise that we have been "planning to do this for a very long time". Thanks to your nonsense, you're an easy target so literally if ANY alliance in the game wanted to attack you they simply would. No real need to wait this long. Oh, we poach. Absolutely. In fact, it's in our IRC channel topic. One of us even has a list of people they want in TBC up for display and not hidden in the slightest. We have no problem admitting things that are actually, you know, true. I'll also refer you to the many posts that explain that we don't have an issue with poaching, just your badgering of our members to the point of annoyance about it. Again though, that's not why we're here really. Not that facts have ever mattered to you.

DundunDUN. Consider my pearls clutched.

You? You ma'am have a real future around here.
