[quote name='Roadie' timestamp='1295880864' post='2596564'] Your side should use better bait next time. [/quote] So after two years and a couple wars where the other side stopped having an upper tier... we still irrelevent? Shout out to Kindom of Goon. Hopefully his warchest will be over 100mil this time round.

[quote name='The MVP' timestamp='1295847129' post='2595633'] Argent has always held much of the people on the other side, that they're fighting now, with the utmost contempt (much like myself). They are loyal though. [/quote] In case it has escaped your notice, we hold a lot of things with contempt. We're not very picky about who to direct it at either. [quote name='Locke' timestamp='1295847785' post='2595722'] That just takes all the fun out of the planning though. Instead of working with what you have immediately connected to the fight, you just pick the best alliance for the fight on your side and chain them in. It's not very hard to do. I know, war isn't fair, but still...I prefer a challenge, I guess. [/quote] The only reason PC is being attacked is because they attacked an alliance that spied on our ally. Due to the ambiguous nature of the ODP it's *technically* possible to chain directly through VE. That'd be far too easy for the elawyers to moan about though. [quote name='bzelger' timestamp='1295848111' post='2595787'] I still have a slot available. [/quote] Oi, I don't share!

Hi STA.

[quote name='tamerlane' timestamp='1295836203' post='2595139'] Anyway, this thread has digressed from its original topic, NPO abandoning a protectorate. [/quote] While I thank you for diverting the conversation back to its original topic, they did not abandon Thessaly. I would actually like to thank the NPO for their support in dealing with our respective (former) protectorates. I am glad to see that the action Thessaly was planning to take which resulted in the cancelation will no longer take place and that an agreement has been reached. You can all go back to your regularly scheduled global war now.

[quote name='Banksy' timestamp='1295245802' post='2578385'] I feel silly calling him Denial I don't know why. [/quote] I find it weird too.

[quote name='Raider' timestamp='1294033659' post='2561631'] The largest peacetime drop I can recall was from Legion during their disbandment crisis in '07. ~7 points lost I believe. Edit: Also, GOONS biggest gainer? [/quote] That was only peace time in name only, so congrats NEW? E: oh, didn't notice it had already been posted.

[quote name='Gopherbashi' timestamp='1293174558' post='2552511'] will [color=#48D1CC][b]Argent[/b][/color] finish off the cinderella story? [/quote] Why would it be a cinderella story? Honest question. Congrats FAN on getting at least second place. Can't think of an alliance I'd be less unhappy losing to. It's 5am here so hopefully that makes sense.

Hopefuly Umbrella won't forget about irrelevent people like rustynail, because Argent loves 'em. Happy birthday, even if it is the 25th here now.

[quote name='andrew734' timestamp='1293117138' post='2551625'] But then we loose survivor:( [/quote] You will anywayy.

[quote name='Gopherbashi' timestamp='1293036009' post='2550082'] No, it's only if you lose score. As long as none of them lose score, they all stay in. (Within reason). The top three the last time we did this format were FAN, NATO, and IRON. [/quote] This is going to be a loooong race.

The rules were changed slightly, but I forget how. If all you have to do is avoid losing score then this will be a long race.

[quote name='jerdge' timestamp='1292978153' post='2548933'] Funny how we dropped out at the beginning of a new war. [/quote] It is somewhat ironic, heh.

So, who wants to roll the neutrals, that'd help Argent win survivor...

[quote name='RePePe' timestamp='1292730373' post='2543666'] When your already-overpowering enemies steal the third strongest alliance from "your side" of the web, you should probably be taking things a bit more seriously. [/quote] TOP hasn't been on NPO's "side" for a long time, what are you talking about?

Did I ever mention how much I liked this? No? Well, I do.

[quote name='Zoomzoomzoom' timestamp='1292570890' post='2541685'] Poison Clan looks forward to wiping the floor with iFOK and Argent in this lil' competition. [/quote] It's FAN you need to worry about. Winning this would be nice, but we have more pressing concerns at the moment.

[quote name='Batallion' timestamp='1292477839' post='2540718'] Given that my alliance is treatied to your protectorate, I also support Argent. Maybe you should tell your members to militarize just to win this for the second time in a row, lol. [/quote] We didn't militirize last time, so not sure what you're talking about. Unless having one of the highest tech averages in the game has something to do with it...

[quote name='Matthew The Great' timestamp='1292451423' post='2540375'] Living Vicariously through the alliance I am a diplomat to Go Argent [/quote] Wooooh! Support from people that aren't Argent. Looks like we'll need it, we keep chugging along with +0.01 and the like.

[quote name='Lord Caspian' timestamp='1292330954' post='2539437'] Deletions [/quote] Welcome to the CN of 2011.

Looks like Argent will have a red dot soon... FFFFFFFFFF.

I hope the Ninjas know what they're doing associating themselves with men that are so ordinary...

We're doomed. Doomed!

[quote name='DictatatorDan' timestamp='1292078215' post='2536367'] [color="#FF0000"]*Melts into a steamy pile of ooze* Alas, I have been vanquished by the "You are so irrelevant" argument. Congrats, You're a true WINNER! Maybe I'll throw a straw man of my own. If you dont like me, do something about it.[/color] [/quote] I'd really rather he didn't as it would mean I'd have to clean up your mess for you.

[quote name='GearHead' timestamp='1291883585' post='2534757'] Harmlins dropping out on the same day... [/quote] I keep forgetting one half of it exists.

Oh snap, now would be a bad time to tell our applicant to get on the correct AA S'pose he can stay there unless we deny him.
