Announcement from the Global Order of Darkness
Persuant to our MDOAP with The Templar Knights, we declare war on the Siberian Tiger Alliance.
/s/
Xiphosis, Dark Lord -
No one blames you. See you on the other side.
-
Title is really excellent.
-
I agree. It is convenient to blame NPO for all of the EQ coalition’s troubles because it was the one that adopted responsibility for leading the (otherwise largely leaderless) eclectic group
While this may be the case overall, the C&G front was extremely well organized and it had very little to do with the 'main leadership' - which was largely chaotic most of the time.
-
So you're pulling the strings behind this entire game, everything that has happened is a result of you and your sw33t maneuvers. nice!!!!!!!!!!!
He's a one-man modern day Covenant in addition to his new role as Supreme GGA Leader.
-
If only snide little comments could win a war.
.. then every war in the history of the planet would be very different indeed.
-
You aren't making the case for anything other than he should have resigned and allowed someone else to lead NPO. People who can't even manage the affairs of their own nation at the most basic level have absolutely no business in command. Actually, the way you tell it, he wasn't really in command--he might have held the title, but he certainly didn't command the respect of his subordinates, who should have followed his directives, not allowed someone in another alliance to have undo influence.
That said, there is plenty of blame to go around regarding what went wrong in the EQ War (on both sides really) and Brehon was by no means solely responsible.
That was effectively my point. We have no argument regarding the first point.
-
Sponge, dearest, I did indeed ask NPO leadership if people in CN lied. I then told myself that yes, they do. But when you catch them lying, the logs are still hilarious and should be shared.
Watching you fumble your way through this is pretty painful.

a girl can dream...
Well hey, the dream came true.

Misinformation bothers me, so I guess I'll chime in on this. From the OP:
Instead, we allowed our coalition to devolve into a mess of
miscommunication and forced through our desire to protect our friends
over the objections of our coalition partners. After that war we
allowed, through our tepid foreign affairs policy, our image to be
hijacked by an ill-thought and inappropriate idea of hostility towards
our ancient brothers.Beyond this, there seems to be a general trend here and elsewhere of putting the blame on Brehon for the mistakes made during the last war. This is false. All problems caused by NPO, when caused by them, were the result of three people primarily: Mary, Farrin, and Dilber. Mary and Farrin, as the coalition found out fairly quickly, are fairly panic-prone and they jump at shadows. Dilber knew that, and used it to try and move NPO's actions towards NSO's benefit. Inevitably, this enraged the rest of the coalition, and ultimately Brehon would have to clean it up. This happened two times that stick out in my memory, and probably to a lesser degree more times than that.We should be completely clear though: Brehon's only major crime last war was not having enough time throughout every 24 hour period to keep his piss-shy dogs on a leash. Every mistake was actually made by said dogs, the main dog now being the current Emperor of the NPO.Always convenient to blame those not really around to defend themselves anymore. You're still full of shit.Edit:Some things Brehon did last war that ruffled feathers that didn't really stand out to me, but might've really bothered others:- Pushed a "War on one is a war on all of us" policy until it meant C&G was going to get hit back hard, as they did. Then he had a fit for a minute.- Tried to take point on the coalition but then his nation deleted and he mostly didn't have time.- There was a lot of miscommunication and going over other leaders heads with regards to terms, which turned it into somewhat of a shit show. Some of this was Brehon personally, some of it was others. -
Hey guys how's this place been?
-
Xiphosis - <insert NPO leader here>
Brehon. Really just Brehon. And we got along pretty well toward the end, it was just the beginning and middle bits of his term. The rest I never had it out with in public, especially not multiple times.

I'm good for it if these cyber gangsters would end there tag-team.
Cyber gangster is my new favorite phrase.

Can we not make this a thing? One stupid thing coming out of Rush's mouth should not doom us to pink elephants in every thread for the next few months.
-
For the record we've been drifting apart for some time, so this really was for the best I think. Not sure if it even warranted making a topic, lol. Clearly GOONS want a change in their FA direction and that is their sole right. GOONS have allies who they would prefer to ride with and I totally understand that.
I wish the best of luck to you, may you continue to wreck and raid everything in your path!
I'm sure they also wanted to send a message.
-
Oh well shit, next war is in the bag now. Game over.
-
... I may be wrong, but I think Holton was joking. Myth: We need more confrontation Holton: Generic ra ra confrontational post.

You can just replace all references to dark rum with "Kraken" - all true Rum people know this is what you mean.
-
A national day of Rum, a treaty with vikings... I'm liking the way this day is going.
-
This is no place for actual discussion, Meth. All responses should boil down to "Congratulations" "What a surprise" or "I am buttmad in my butt".
-
I don't even care what this is about, I fully support National Rum Day.
-
With Polar's treaties, anyone who hits them now is basically getting a d34th sentence.
You should really feel bad for this.

So say you get a rogue that IS a member of a well known alliance. Perhaps they do a spy op that does very little damage...maybe destroy cms and they kill a CM or two...perhaps they do an op that does no damage at all.... Whatever... the actual damage done is only in the few thousand tops. Do you accept the cost of damage or do you shine on that and say its a waste of a slot and only take $3mil minimum? Say your on the other side do you only offer to pay damages or do you pay the $3mil so its not a waste of a slot? Are you ruthles and demand the attacker's head? Do you just chalk it up as no harm really done and move on?
It depends on the context and the alliance, realistically.
-
Interesting. Could you both work for Crymson though, or is Xiphosis the Dear Leader of the alliance I'm calling "The New Darkness?"
Neither, but I could probably co-lead [as ugly as the concept is] rather easily with Grub. Grub would be wasted and would probably go insane if he had to run things by me first, and same for the other way around.
