God you put this way better than I ever could have. Cheers buddy. Also, please take the VOX/NPO/starfox hate out of this thread. It had a pretty good discourse going until it got all mucked up. The personal attacks and other references are just not needed here.
I have to agree with these two fine people. From what I have seen since my time back, the NPO has put substantial work into many of our ministries and people like Marimassa, Cortath, and others have been doing a very good job in helping us rebuild. I am sure we will be given independence when we are ready.
Long before I was anything but a simple foot soldier, but in retrospect.....3 weeks? Getting stomped for 3 weeks is a freaking vacation compared to what has happened in the last year.
Rmm was crazy, but gonzo was WAY more colorful and unpredictable. He could go from friendly to more of an $@! than CK in a span of minutes, and unfortunately probably had depression or psychiatric issues. Gonzo was one of my best friends for a long time, even after OFS left GATO (I almost went with them.) However he changed at the end of his tenure and it unfortunately was for the worst.
If you have made the investment for a WRC I doubt you are afraid to use nukes if the time comes. In that case I would highly recommend the MP. It makes your nation freaking scary in the amount of damage you can do throughout a war.
Thankfully gw2 taught many of us the value of a warchest after our military leaders told us that "warchests help the enemy because you are funding them." Before this war it was suggested that you should never have more than 2-3 days worth of collections. Even in gw3 many of GATO still didnt think they were valuable and I was one of the few who had a substantial amount of cash on hand that war also.
/me shakes head.
You have me beat by 2 spots
