Steve, you do realize that your alliance was one of the few who had the ability to actually change some of this if you were so inclined.....right?

Get well soon Daj, we are all pulling for you.

I just like the fact that IRON was complaining about hitting GATO's upper tier. Makes me warm and tingly on the inside.

Amen.

I'm still rebuilding the tech that Umbrella (and some other folks) took off me last war.

That is actually kind of mind blowing.

Chim seriously? An interview with Junka? Hell, you don't even like Junka.

Congratulations Tywin, you got Goldie and I to agree on something.

I'd like to here more about why you are no longer hand.....I heard it was entertaining.

DBDC is an outlier, albeit a really awesome one to watch operate. Like Caladin said, I don't think you can get a large enough concentration of strength in any other NS range but the god tier to make it work like DBDC does.

Happy Birthday Old Man!

It can be fun knowing that the hammer is coming for you. Can't win all the time.

Just mad he didn't do MI6.

For the most part GATO is a peaceful alliance and acts accordingly. However, you must recognize that our charter is 6 years old, and doesn't necessarily correspond with the norms of planet bob today. When our charter was written blocs didn't exist, there were few,if any (I wasn't around quite yet) MDP's, and the world had a slightly different sense of morals and values. GATO has never been a neutral alliance, and realistically never will be. Out of necessity we have had to adapt to the realities of politics in CN, but we still hold our founding values very highly. Your line about political operators is actually very succinct. Today's world is driven not only by morals and values, but also by friendships and associations. We believe that by being in CnG we have the best of both worlds. Our allies have very similar views and ideals as we do, which helps us satisfy our desire not to get into wars unless necessary. CnG really doesn't pick fights, and haven't been the catalyst for a major war since both INT and GATO have joined.

I had Old Rasputin when I was back home around Christmas. Amazing beer, I wish I could find it where I live now.
