I was trying to think of an appropriate lapdog. Two hours later, it hit me: Attack Lhasa Apso! Somehow I suspect NATO's ankles will be fine.

FARK has always been very big on Aqua unity and FARK, MHA, and NATO were in an MADP bloc called Trident for a very long time. Also, the three alliances were also signatories of several Aqua unity treaties back in the day. NATO's on Blue now and does not list that treaty on its forums so I'm assuming that this is just bad record keeping.

Well, he is out of peace mode which is more than 1/3 of TOP's nations have achieved this war. He doesn't have a WRC either so I wonder if he's one of the "WRC and nukes hurt my tax collection" crowd.

Oh no, Sparta just sicced its attack Pomeranian on NATO.

Anyone else think we're getting more valid results for these than we do for the CNAs? No one wants a Razzie but people want a CNA.

Good hunting R&R. Everyone has treaties. Others used yours to put you in a box. It's nice to see you break out of said box. Some of your friends won't be happy with you but they made their choice to enter on the opposite side a month ago. If they're really your friends, they'll be there when it's over. Alliances don't traditionally attack other alliances because they're happy with them.

And by not making a public statement either way until now, you opened yourself up to criticism from asshats like me.

When the former members are diehards and the leaving is more like a captain vaulting over the railing of his ship it does lead to some concerns.

Or you could just say that you used the second clause of Article IV of the Plan B Accords to abstain (which really makes me question whether it's an MADP at all) so that you wouldn't have to attack Sparta, who is treatied to Fark and in your former bloc and TIO and NATO consented. Of course then I'd counter that Article I of the same treaty says that Plan B should be prioritized over all other relationships. The bottom line is that to an uninformed observer, it appears that only two members of a three member bloc are taking part in a war, which makes one wonder about the overall viability of said bloc. It's like Snap and Crackle going anywhere without Pop.

I like you and I'm gonna let you finish but the bloc is an MADP bloc, an MADP bloc. If everyone was okay with it being treated like an MDoAP or a non chaining MDoAP, then why not write it as one? Also, XX should totally be here. Polar being in it makes no sense at all. You have the two party alliances (MHA and FARK), the groupie (Sparta), and then Polar.

Twyin's previous alias was like the anti Vlad and they'd occasional spout out walls of text at each other. I'm going to stick with my comparison. Rhetoric has a place but when it obscures content, there's a problem.

I'd think the medals would be made of lead or graphite.

I said "dike." You read "dyke." In this analogy, you would actually be the water. Dos Equis, TOP, and Umbrella joining might overflow the wall. It's an analogy.

Wrecking Ball was tempting but I'll go with Imperial Germany.

Twywin reminds me of Vladimir. He uses big words but says very little and is often wrong.

Have to go with Usual Suspects for worst bloc. I'm sorry but an MADP bloc where one member doesn't enter a war needs to dissolve.

IRON baby! Nothing says progress like old timers moving to new alliances.

Oh now Schatt, you've been around long enough to know that wars are made up of smaller fronts that aren't necessarily dependent on each other. NATO and TIO's side may have been losing but they were holding off Sparta. It may have been a finger in a dike but it was working.

And the TFD crew gets to have a reunion with the MHAers. TOP came out of peace mode? Was there a fire? Did you take a picture?

Why would they surrender to Sparta? From what I understand of that particular front, they were winning.

Geez, after all this, looks like NATO and TIO could use some rest and recuperation.

Took you long enough. Looks like Lenny's getting a huge beer shipment at his NATO Cyber Bar. /edited for funnier line

RIA needs longer signatures. Seriously, those titles are way too short. Nice to see both alliances live to fight another day. Also, it's been a while but doesn't STA have a standing policy where they won't accept or demand any resolution other than "white peace"? Although, all TPF has to do is say they lost and stay out of the war, which is pretty, well, "white." It's like "beige."

I'm sorry about your father. Go be with your family, we'll be here when you get back. Infra and tech are replaceable, time with your family isn't. Why? Sure, we play hard but when it comes down to it, most of us are friends, whether we admit it or not.
