  1. Many moons ago this coward ran from GLoF when we were about to be stomped by the orange sphere.........I forget which war it was atm.  I think we attacked torn at the behest of NV and at the time orange on orange violence was taboo.

     

    once a coward always a coward.

     

    If memory serves, that was the War of the Coalition.  I remember heads started exploding in IRC channels when GLoF went in because one orange alliance hitting another at the time was one of those nearly unthinkable concepts because of OUT and just how heavily tied a decent chunk of the sphere was.  Most of us in TORN were actually more inclined to laugh at the situation moreso than anything else, simply because we knew the kind of pile-on it was going to trigger.

  2. There is no need for any kind of speculation, rampant or otherwise. What Nemhauser has said is as complete a description as could possibly be offered. Those who have served Nordreich in the past and departed will know exactly what this means. Whether this will entice them to return is another matter, although they will of course be welcome. (But there's a war on, people have other priorities and, honestly, it may be that too much time has passed for some.)

     

    Regardless, Kaiser Nemhauser enjoys my complete support.

     

    To the outside community, that endorsement is really when it comes down to it the only one most of the OWF really cares about as far as who really leads over there. :P

  3. Sad to say the upper tier is fast becoming an abode of sycophants and cowards, and Im glad at least one alliance decided that the chains of slavery, no matter how comfortable, should never lie about our neck.


    Only because the Committee for the Advancement of Sycophants has determined you no longer have need of a neck or anything above that level and have thus removed the superfluous mass. Feel free to share your rapid weight loss success story with the customer service department, and congrats on achieving those New Year's weight loss goals.
  4. Let's be honest, downdeclares are one of the very few tactics which grant an advantage to the declaring nation: war is war, not a joust or a duel between knights in shining armor.

    Most people fight to make their alliance win, not for some self-serving "honor" to be found on the battlefield: the hands of those who brought you in the mud are seldom clear of machination and scheming, be them on the losing or winning side. I never understood the "fair fight" concept so many like to trumpet around during wartime.

     

    Gotta say I agree on this one.  If a war is "fair," then it's probably a good indication your pre-war planning sucked.

  5. The insinuation that this war established the precedent for "no CB needed" is so ignorant of reality I would have expected it to have been a Tywin thread.  Some of the first big wars in CN were started for reasons such as "taking our oxygen."  A casus belli literally is just a reason for war.  Who the frack actually cares what it is?  "I don't like you and I want to nuke you until you glow and steal your tech in the dark" is just as valid as "you peed in my friend's kool-aid and need to be punished."
