Laden or unladen?

Well, you guys recently accepted a nation at war with us, who we continue to fight. While we haven't bothered to hit the rest of your rubbled AA, defending him would in some senses be a defensive war.

Maybe I could lend you some SDI operators, Gow. Check this out.

What, no declaration of war?

I used to change my sig quote fairly frequently; nowadays you can't put quotes in your sig anymore, so yours is immortalized because it was the last and I won't change it again.

Curiously, considering our history together, I've never actually fought any SF alliances. Maybe they were even worse. You can take comfort in the fact that Sparta was definitely worse.

This is what he did the first time I fought GATO. In January of 2013. When SNX did not yet exist. GATO wrote the book on this topic.

Don't worry, he'll order them into peace mode before he launches the attack, and then you'll be able to chew up the few inactive nations who didn't even bother reading their orders.

Dude, you're fighting GATO. I don't know, maybe you haven't been paying attention, but their history of warfare is pretty ... sad. You have only yourself to blame for this of course; you attacked them.

I guess now we find out whether GATO > Vlad Stukov.

Montezuma, I say what I think. Sometimes you agree with me, other times not. That's OK. Also, I've never bashed Alpha Omega. I even wrote the Invicta-AO NAP, which as far as I know is still Invicta's longest-standing treaty.

Hardin's way out - he's used it before - is to get Sigrun to claim outrage and run to Non Grata, leveraging Oculus to attack the people he's roguing. However, given that Oculus was contacted about this war, seems unlikely that it's going to happen quite that way for him again.

Well, that's different.

At which point MN was in TPF, if memory serves. Alliances change, and GATO's changed a lot since those days.

My irony meter is asploding.

Oh look, the MN is trying to throw weight around again. Look, nobody's scared of you. Probably not even SNX. Go back to retirement.

I like Nietzsche, but I just argue on the Internet for fun.

Yeah it's safe to say that their style of writing is such that you either split your sides laughing, or want to do something awful. If you're the first kind of person, which I am, read on, otherwise don't make yourself depressed.

Once upon a time, there was an alliance of sorts called The Rebbilon. I remember them often these days. If I compare you to them, it probably means you're both amusing me greatly and not very important in the game. They were an offshoot of a bunch of wannabe spies in the ODN, led by a guy called Pete McAvoy (I think that was his name originally; his only real spying effort I know of was this thread about Polar). Anyway, they were a bunch of anti-ODN rogues, and back then the ODN was a pretty easygoing alliance, even more so than it is now. So their complaints of oppression were ludicrous. As was their spelling. And grammar. And just their whole writing style, in a language that closely resembles English. Some of this stuff has to be seen to be believed.

I don't think I could take this game if it was serious.

The irony is strong with this one. I feel like he's channelling DR DAVID BANNER somehow, if perhaps a bit weakly.

I remember Amossio. Not a major player, I guess, but not many rulers are. Last Call's involvement in this war has nothing to do with SNX and everything with you guys both attacking people we like and launching unprovoked spy attacks against us. (Well, to be fair, if you're going to do the first thing, then the second thing makes sense too. If we're not going to back down from a tough fight, we're certainly not going to back down from the likes of you.)

It does give you good practice for dealing with other people though. Set your sights high, I always say.

I was trying to be nice!

See, it's that whole "please declare on me, because I'm in anarchy and will be forever so can't pick my targets" attitude you got going on that lets me know you're losing.

In other alliances, we refer to "infiltrators who pretend to join enemy alliances and then send our guys secret war aid after we attack said enemy alliances" as spies. I know, some of these things may not be terribly clear to you.
