Tankobite

In the past few months, several different alliances have found themselves bothered by a rodent infestation. Whether through direct attacks on us or our allies, the betrayal of trust of our friends, repeated attempts to conspire against us and our friends, and just making themselves a general nuisance in our own establishments, this rodent problem has demonstrated that we cannot simply ignore it and hope that it will go away. The pest plagues each of us, yet as soon as any attempt to chastise it begins, this rat scampers back along the apron strings attached to it to bother another alliance. No longer will we have to deal with this pest in turn as it comes knocking at our door to nibble our cheese and push its shoddy beer. Today, we unveil the Microbrewery Revolution! The undersigned free and independent alliances; in order to enhance our security and protect our interests do hearby agree to this proceeding pact: 1. Our local beer is superior in taste and culture, we will support our local beer industry by patronizing local bars and pups and tariff foreign brands trying to get into our market. 2. In the event a foreign market should try a hostile takeover of our businesses these alliances reserve the right to respond with equal and greater measures to push the competition out. 3. Further, we uphold the option of adopting aggressive marketing strategies. Promoting and and expanding our beer, and bankrupting theirs.... 4. This agreement can be canceled after you pay your tab and don't come back for 24 hours. For the Imperial Entente--Tankobite For the Greater Confederacy--Lukediamondking For Ordo Cyberneticus--Martialis For the League of Ultra-Nationalist Nations--Bootyman244

Since GK isn’t here to represent Bender, I will:

Merde!

No onions for Cobra then.

I'm not sure how long you've been around, but I was here in 06 and I think you may be remembering the good old days a little too fondly. Stuff was nasty back then too. It's hard to tell when someone is genuine and when they're trolling. For my part, I was hot under the collar because out of the blue, some of the only people who stuck their neck out for me and mine were being hit with no actual evidence provided by an enormous coalition that seemed to just have it in for them. I've also been unfortunate enough to have to deal with some of your leadership, who also get under my skin and frankly I wasn't aware how much your AA is kept in the dark. My pervious experience in AAs have usually been either in governments or micros, and I've never really been in an alliance that keeps its basic troopers so much in the dark--I joined GATO in January of '06 and I can't speak to what it's become now, but the general assembly was not kept in the dark about the causes for war once we voted on them. The Order of the Paradox was a small alliance (though mid tier by today's standards I guess), but it gave its members a lot more trust and kept them in the loop. So I assumed bad faith, because once the information came out to Johnny and Stewie (as a prerequisite for coming to the table with Polar), they summarized it to me and Stewie posted it here. I had assumed that your alliance only kept the actual facts of the case from us and the world at large, not its own membership as well. If you actually wanted information or a discussion, I apologize. The nature of forum posts makes it so that in a sense you talk past each other as a conversation cannot be held in real time. In that sense, discord is a better interaction because you can immediately sus out if there is miscommunication. You're always welcome to come to TIE's discord and chat. We aren't as active as Gulag, but one of your members has a food appreciation thread he keeps as his attempt at a peace shrine. And I have some killer napoleonic memes and folk music. https://discord.gg/YM85mUQWk8

Cobra is turning into a clam bake. This is #notmycybernations

It's been publicly made available to the parties involved. That was the precursor for Stewie and Johnny to get into talks with you all. If you want the full logs your government provided (eventually), Cobra and NG have them for you. Also, you understand how burden of proof works right? Your side claimed to have evidence, but refused to show it. Clearly because it was so flimsy that hiding it was the only way to get people like you to believe it.

Fixed that for you

Pot meet kettle. That's why they refused to share it publicly so anyone could evaluate their claims for themselves. Once they became clear, half your coalition pulled out and the other half offered a white peace. Now who's being naive? It was hitchcock. The guy your leadership has been indulging in his constant harassment of cobra and attacks on allies in Ordo Cyberneticus Yet that's exactly what Tehol, the leadership you apparently trust believes. It seems claws and co think if they repeat a lie often enough, it becomes true. Got caught doing what? You yourself even imply you don't know what the evidence is. You were just told it was there and that they had to 'protect the source.' Meanwhile, Stewie provides the other half of the conversations and NPO, IRON, and Legion leave the war. That should tell you something. This part just doesn't make sense. We know you didn't get what you wanted. You wanted NPO, Iron, Legion, and RFI to do the heavy lifting in CLAWS's unceasing grudge against Cobra and NG. So you made up some !@#$ based on everything hitchcock gave you months ago, yet couldn't even get your whole coalition involved (I notice FTW isn't a party to this shenanigans. Good for them). You also tried to maneuver NPO, Iron, and Legion into opposing their own blocmate's allies, putting them in a !@#$%* position. Once Polar stepped up and tried to get people together to talk about this (which your side deliberately avoided doing, like the treaty you cited in the CB stated you had to), it became clear to all involved that the 'evidence' was !@#$%^&* and things started to go south for CLAWS. The laughter is at the salt is that claws has yet to stop crying about how their castle of cards has started to crumble--your allies leaving the conflict, COBRA and NG's coming in, and CLAWS being exposed for the unwarranted aggression once more. To say nothing of how they tried to hamper the talks, then shove in a white peace when it became clear they couldn't keep the 700 nation advantage they'd brought in under false pretenses. TLDR: Everything you just said in your post is wrong.

Yet you guys were the ones asking for a white peace as soon as you found out the heavy hitters were leaving. but whatever helps you sleep at night.

Getting a salute from Little Benny is like getting a commendation from Kim jung Un. Really shows the caliber of folks you have here. Still won’t make Ng forget the CB you just gave them, or the violation of the peace you made with cobra et al. But keep sniffing for table scraps Benny.

I’m sorry that you can’t keep up your 700 vs 60 odds in the unprovoked and unjust war. Must be tough on you, not being able to keep the rolling you don’t want to happen going

And half of them are going home and you haven’t stopped crying about that since

Hard to go wrong with Wilde. Unless you’re the Marquis of Queensbury

Not as bad as Claude apparently.

And yet your coalition is so afraid to fight them without NPO, Legion, and IRON you offered a white peace at the 11th hour and have done nothing but cry about it since. shame

The importance of being earnest....

Well, this really does explain why they wouldn’t tell anyone what the evidence was. Godforbid anyone be able to evaluate them for themselves

I mean, if I were a conspiratorial type, I’d say this almost sounds like someone was planted to find evidence, if he couldn’t find it, to invent it. But, that’s crazy right?

Wait so this is part of the evidence they used for the war? No wonder they’ve been desperate to hide it and ask everyone to “trust us on this guyz we swear”

I believe in the legal business that’s called “entrapment,” but I’m not a lawyer, like those in CLAWS.

howls of derisive laughter. They’re literally only “getting what they want” because you attacked them for no legitimate reason. I guess my advice to CLAWS would be thus: Next time you think we’re planning something, wait for us to do it. We might muck it up. It couldn’t possibly be more effective than what claws has done itself here.

No kidding. It’s like the thought of having to face part of boog without the legion, NPO, and IRON terrifies them beyond the capacity for rational thought.

(This is what claws apparently believes happens in boog) Apparently banned khorne worship is nothing next to the power of Tzeentch.

Oh the irony. I was so naive for thinking we could let you off and you’d learn a lesson. I should apologize to Johnny for telling him to move on
