Yeah better hurry up guys, if you sign treaties with bigger alliances? Bundy has made clear with this post; he probably won't attack you if you do because that'd mean having to fight someone bigger if he did and evidently he's not about taking that kinda risk which might result in a fight with someone much bigger. Which is weird because that'd surely mean more casualties?
I guess he'd rather stick to what he knows is safe and risk free* because he's just a one-trick pony dressed as a wolf.
*Insofar as he believes it to be.
What was the size difference between TW and Red Alert when Bundy attacked last time?
I'll wait.

I’m simply agreeing with this person named Firingline when he listed GATO as one of the “Winners” in this other thread. It was a good point about GATO. Maybe you’ve heard of him. I normally think he’s full of crap but there are exceptions.
You're really bad at this.
And running CN alliances. But mostly this.

I guess this comes down to - do you want to play the game, or do you want to turtle-nuke?
If you want to play, AW is the place.
If you want to turtle-nuke, OP is probably more your speed.

There it is. You finally made it clear how you define “making a move” - aggression. So your big complaint is that RFI is not aggressive enough. Noted.
And you apparently define "making a move" as doing absolutely nothing.
I don't think most people would agree with that definition, but whatever floats your boat. Better not make a move - you might lose! I get it. All you know how to do after losing a war is disband your alliance, so that makes the stakes pretty damn high for you.

1. CLAWS did not break any treaties with any ally. We did not plot against an ally either. This includes TW. CLAWS made it very clear that we would not agree to any attacks on TW. I’m not surprised though, that you brought that up. It’s something you will harp on anytime you can fit it into a response to me for a long time.
2. I disagree. GATO wanted something and made it clear that they were willing to go war to get it. Instead they ended up getting what they wanted. Not only did they make a move, they got what they wanted as a result. Not only is that a “move” - that’s a win.
Unless by “move” you mean start a war just to start a war. If that’s the case, lmao!
1. To be clear - you did break your treaty with TW. Multiple times, in multiple ways. That's why TW dumped you immediately after the war.
2. You can disagree, but you're wrong. GATO's ally was defeated in the war, and splintered shortly thereafter. You lost a valuable ally in TW. If those were RFI's objectives and something you consider a win, "lmao!"
JA's made quite clear what GATO considers to be making a move, and none of what RFI has done in the last three years counts. The most aggressive thing you've done is to move to black sphere to try to piss off Sparta. That's it. In three years. Because at the end of the day, RFI is full of weak, spineless leaders who rely on everybody else to make things happen because they're too scared that if they make any real moves, they'll lose.

Thank you.
Does UCR hand out a medal for every time you turtle or something?

RFI, and GATO in particular, made the most recent “move.” We came very, very close to war over it. GATO got what they wanted and so the war did not happen. Not every “move” results in war.
I don't know which part of this is funnier:
1) Openly admitting to plotting against and breaking a treaty with your ally TW
2) Claiming that coming "very, very close to war" is making the most recent move lmao.
I'm also not quite sure what being in government has to do with knowing what happens in CN. Certainly you've been around long enough to know that's not how any of this works?

The OWF is now only to be used for the purpose of measuring dicks using aid-slot percentiles as a metric. Which probably has something to do with how stagnant it is lately, it hardly makes for a dynamic and engaging political discourse when almost every thread has a flock of parrots talking about how big or small their numbers are.
fig.1 - FiringLine
That being said I welcome the creation of this thread from NATO and applaud the prosperity of another democratic alliance on this planet.
I thought we've discussed this. RFI is free to make a move any time they want. Come on, make the OWF more lively. It's most certainly your turn to do something!

Though somewhat unoriginal, this... Stats Nerd Pride Week came with a lil bit of Hakai satire. Overlooked, yes, but still thumbs up from me.
Thanks to everyone involved.
The only thing Hakai's post managed to do is remind me that we not only took 10th place from GATO, we took sanctioned status from Argent, and he really shouldn't be flying that flag anymore on these forums.
Time to fix the glitch.

I look forward to the day you break through the ceiling you've been living under keeping you and your allies safe from any alliance with an average NS higher than 100k.
It's funny because GATO's top-tier (including your leader at the time) hid in peace mode during the last global.
QuoteRFI have made the first move quite a few times in its history, I've been on the receiving end of those moves so y'know; never say never.
Under much better leadership than RFI has now.
RFI is never going to make the first move.
QuoteWe on the other hand don't feel it a worthwhile use of our time to be posturing about activity levels and aid slot usage statistics as a metric to display our superiority. It is an intrinsic fact for us, one which has not been proven wrong definitively so why waste time punching down?
Posturing about any of those things would certainly not be punching down. I'd say there's nowhere lower to go from where you are today, but ODN does still exist (I think.)
10%.

You could always try actually declaring war on us but we all know you won't do that,
It's funny because NATO started the last global, and RFI is full of cowardly leadership who will absolutely never make the first move. That would require taking just a little bit of risk, and we all know you won't do that.

GATO did not deserve a place in the top-10, so I'm glad we... went ahead and fixed the glitch.

checking in from ~2007. was a leader in the old MCB alliance, and just thinking about all the good times had playing this game. we joined an alliance of alliances, the sphere, and then went to war with NPO and others. shortly after i lost interest and got out. honestly dont even remember how.
good times were had by all. wish this place was more active.It's much more active on Discord. Should check it out.

Damn, DLS is great so this will be a big loss to FTW and CN as a whole.
Good luck, Velo!

Congrats to FiringLine most of all, to be honest.

When r u coming over to ride berts dads fat hog?
The reason I go over to Bert's house has nothing to do with visiting Bert or his dad. Just don't tell him that I don't want to hurt his feelings.

"If it's brown, flush it down" has never been more true.

Wonder what will end up higher - the number of members fleeing UCR, or the number of treaty partners canceling on them.

There are still patriots in NATO that know the election was rigged, Firingline ran the best campaign in the history of CN, the polls were overwhelmingly in his favor, you should have seen the size of his rallies.

Thank you for your support as always, Berbers!

Firingline needs to work harder for my endorsement, next time it could be the difference!
Congrats NATO, nice to see democracy isn’t completely dead on Bob.
Your endorsement probably would have hurt my chances.
You're a teddy-bear. That doesn't mesh well with my brand.

Well done, the terrifying prospect of Firing Line with actual power has abated...for now.
I will instead continue on in my role as NATO's Press Secretary and part time Foreign Affairs leader.
MU-PGS Treaty
in Alliance Announcements (IC)

Their AA has listed - and still lists - an ODOAP, not a protectorate.
'Sick ailing terminal AA with 1-2 stalwart members' almost perfectly describes MU, especially since a couple of their more active members have fled back to PGSG.
