    The sad thing from this is that what you say will still lower many people's opinions of HB, because you are associated with them far more than their actual government is. But it is a good step forward for HB for sure, as some people are absolutely not government material.

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

    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.

    We were concerned with relieving RIA as much as possible but you're right, by the time GATO entered we had a lot of nations already engaged with UPN so it was a bit limited as to what we could shift over.

    That is basically the way I figured it. You all simply didn't have that many nations who weren't already in nuke anarchy or at least engaged with nuclear nations, nor did you have large PM reserves (which wasn't surprising, you are GOD afterall.) Based on this knowledge, we figured that despite being the most combat prepared alliance we were fighting (by far,) you did not pose the biggest threat because of the limited engagement possibilities.

    We still had no answer for Midknight and the nations he was teaming with though, which was extremely frustrating. GOD had the ability to selectively hit our top 3 nations without much fear of being countered because we were already engaged for the most part at that NS range. Had the war gone on longer, that would have presented a big problem for our top 10 nations. The other alliances we were fighting (RIA, TTK, CRAP) didn't have nearly the firepower in terms of tech that you guys did, kudos for that.

    I don't know why Kubla made his post, but I don't really agree with his numbers. GATO honestly devoted very little attention to GOD at any NS range, and I doubt GOD reciprocated. The majority of GATO's offense wars were against RIA originally, and then TTK once they dow'd us. I don't know the numbers, but I assume GOD relished the opportunity to engage UPN, and focused primarily on them.

    As expected GOD had us beat at the upper tier, and there were a couple of 13-15k tech nations who teamed up against a few of our nations and beat them hard. Besides that I can't think of anything in particular on the GATO-GOD front that stood out. Overall GATO fought RIA, TTK, GOD and CRAP, with TTK and CRAP only fighting us. To have heavily went after GOD, who was engaged with UPN, wouldn't make much sense.
