flak attack

[quote name='Avakael' timestamp='1355714111' post='3064826'] and if you try to point out good reasons why an alliance is not so terrible after all, you're likely to just be told to shut up. [/quote] That's mostly because you had !@#$%* opinions.

[quote name='White Chocolate' timestamp='1355623684' post='3064366'] Also, (and note I'm not in any way allied with them) Mk doesn't strike me as the type of alliance that would keep a treaty with another alliance IF the majority of members and/or leadership in MK believed for real that the other alliance was only allied to MK for totally self-serving reasons. [/quote] Pretty much. We hate alliances like that. MK doesn't treaty alliances we don't have respect for.

[quote name='Vukland' timestamp='1354678521' post='3060487'] As a[b][i] former member [/i][/b] I can tell you they do have their !@#$ together. But as a member of the NPL [/quote] Stopped reading right there. Everything is relative.

It's hard to name someone that had more influence over the next few years than him, even if it wasn't a good one.

More proof of CnG scum infesting our alliance and making all our decisions.

[quote name='Hiro Nakara' timestamp='1354518118' post='3059911'] Maybe he should stop being lazy and actually put some effort into his retorts. But yea, I get ya, it's totally my fault he's lazy and stupid and never bothered to check my real AA before making that comment, my bad. I mean it's not like anyone else has different affiliations in their OWF account details [/quote] detlev level arguments itt

[quote name='pezstar' timestamp='1354494972' post='3059727'] I suspect that US was being trolled in that way you tell your annoying younger brother that you'll give him a WHOLE DOLLAR if he washes your car and cleans your room. [/quote] Ludicrous. Interfering with TPF tech dealing is a major long term goal of MK. That said, I really have no clue on this.

[quote name='King Wally' timestamp='1354163461' post='3057961'] Bob ... I think its fair to say that by the time Mj actually launched that its goals had become fine tuned and united. But if you were a fly on the wall, 1 month out... 3 months out... 6 months out... well you could have seen 3 different plots unfolding. And deep down this is the reality of many political movements. I can still remember being utterly shocked at how Mj looked post launch when compared to how I remembered the early talks months earlier. The formation of Mj was an evolution influenced by a political climate that was changing fast. To asume that Mj's plans didn't evolve as the world around them evolved is probably being unfair to our intelligence, particularly those of us that openly participated in the signatory Q&A's for many months before the launch. [/quote] Yeah. Bob doesn't really get why Mjolnir was created. If only he had been involved with the governments making it. Maybe if he had signed the treaty I would find his arguments more convincing.

[quote name='berbers' timestamp='1354331090' post='3058794'] If I was about to get shot with any pistol I'd be a whole lot less cocky. [/quote] In the case of this pistol, it's the people standing behind it that should be more worried than those in front of it.

[quote name='magicninja' timestamp='1354126431' post='3057849'] Oh I'm certain he's cordial around the house. It's when he's on the playground with kids outside the family you should worry about. The commentary on the whole treaty cancelling was a slight to Omni more than a realistic impression of what anyone would do...even me. We didn't cancel on IAA when Omni decided to start speaking for them from a lower gov seat after all....but seriously keep an eye and an ear out. I'd hate to see him do anything to tarnish Argent's good name while you weren't looking. [/quote] If you think that's something that 'could happen' instead of something that 'is happening', you obviously aren't looking.

[quote name='Diomede' timestamp='1353551958' post='3055979'] that bloc might be better than GUARD. But only just. [/quote] Let's be honest, it still would beat out XX too.

[quote name='Rebel Virginia' timestamp='1353813907' post='3056910'] [color=#0000ff]but you quickly threw them under the bus to cozy up to NPO; a whole lot of good you did from them. You give yourself too much credit. You always have.[/color] [/quote] Not quite. Our problems with SF arose from the fact that they were willing to throw us under the bus to keep NPO down. It's ironic that now they are hoping NPO sides with them just to beat us.

If I had the ability, I would be willing to make an MK declaration of support for just straight up rolling the whole AA in response.

[quote name='xoindotnler' timestamp='1352323599' post='3049810'] Could be worse, way worse. [/quote] No, it couldn't be. OSF -> deletion -> GPA -> MK

[quote name='Unknown Smurf' timestamp='1352180295' post='3049268'] Do your members know you read their PMs? [/quote] You're getting desperate.

So far as we know, there was only one offer sent by an MK nation.

The domination of the Southern Delegation continues.

[quote name='IYIyTh' timestamp='1350442218' post='3042019'] You all really need to get your !@#$ together and your stories straight. I've never applied to MK. [/quote] He's not talking about your membership application. He's talking about your protectorate application.

[quote name='Nobuna' timestamp='1350359890' post='3041785'] They're outnumbered, what's surprising? [/quote] Having only 40% of the nations in the war doesn't make it acceptable to have almost 75% of the anarchied nations in the war. If you're halfway competent, it's not hard to avoid anarchy in a war you know is coming when barely outnumbered 3:2.

[quote name='Unknown Smurf' timestamp='1350316122' post='3041603'] Nations 101-1000 are what we call the middle tier nowadays imo. [/quote] Who is we? In general, mid tier is considered to start somewhere round the 10k-8k tech range and bottom out around the 3k-5k tech range. You're the only person I've ever seen refer to only top 100 as top tier.

[quote name='HeroofTime55' timestamp='1350254748' post='3041419'] No, they just win wars. The rest lends itself easily once you dominate the whole game. [/quote] Holy !@#$ did you actually just say that?

[quote name='WarriorConcept' timestamp='1350011676' post='3040321'] Airme not nuking. Had to say it. [/quote] Airme already nominated that one.

[quote name='Dochartaigh' timestamp='1349977590' post='3040054'] To all those crying and whining over the lack of drama or how this is boring. Why don't you all either shut your mouths or step up and do something yourselves. Stop looking to everyone else to be your hero or to hit an alliance you don't like. Do it yourself. Man up or shut up. [/quote] Been there. Done that. You cried and whined about it.

[quote name='Commander shepard' timestamp='1349971903' post='3040017'] To say otherwise would be to consider Sparta as complete trash. [/quote] They are.

[quote name='Mogar' timestamp='1349943545' post='3039912'] Isn't it crazy what happens when you're fighting a war where you know there's going to be an end and not against people that have stated they wish to see you disband? amazing what a difference there is between wars of decision and wars of survival. [/quote] Given that Sparta has never fought a war of survival, I think you're short a few data points on your theory.
