Whatever the flaws in Snakes message, and there were many, he was never TRYING to extort anyone. That much was a misunderstanding. Regardless, as you said, it's been handled.

It's cool Ferrous, I got suckered too. I sense sarcasm jammers.

It has everything with you holding a personal grudge against us Sin, it always has. We've provided satisfactory explanations, and everyone but you (including GDA, btw) is happy. I'm done here.

Normally I wouldn't feel the need to fill you in on the details of our operational planning, but I guess it doesn't really hurt anything here. Lists were prepared up until the day before attacks were authorized, though most of it was together in advance of that. They were prepared in consultation with and with input from GDA, and all terms violators had been messaged (albeit once slightly improperly - these improprieties were resolved between GDA and CSN) several times already, and many were referred to us by GDA after continued non-compliance. I couldn't tell you the exact details about the master list because I wasn't involved in compiling it, but every nation was given numerous chances, and will be peaced out as soon as they're in compliance with no punitive measures taken other than the attacks they've suffered. Now, stop looking for a reason to bash CSN, arrogant disgruntled ex-members make for a lousy time in any thread, especially when they talk without knowledge of the situation.

As I understand it, each nation not in compliance has been messaged several times... GDA had the list of potential targets for non-compliance well in advance, and was able to get in touch with them, those listed for attack were all not in compliance after being contacted. Also, they've had several weeks to be in compliance. We took all the steps you mention, bashing CSN just because you don't like us must not be as fun when you're wrong.

Oh no you don't, everyone knows you're a masochist, no reward for you, my dear Captain.

Quiet Lewis, facts are confusing. What's important is that AT is evil. )):

We should just make admin move the decimal place over 2 places and then we'd be fine...

/me whacks his sarcasm detector. I knew that.

Good thing your feelings about the importance of Maroon unity are inherently valuable to us. Also, you're wrong. Not only is accession to SPAM an important step on the way to full entrance in Maroonity via the Chestnut Accords, it's important in and of itself. Unless you're on Maroon, I really think you have no idea what Maroonity is all about.

Oh, I misunderstood the suggestion then... I think everyone below the drop line should be dropped probably, but maybe there should be a high threshold for remaining in the race? Might be good to track 250 member + alliances in the unlikely event they stay below the drop line.

Having some threshold of members to drop people under, 150 or 125, might make sense, but dropping people below 200 members is frankly quite a dumb idea. Some alliances with 175, 190 members are far closer to being sanctioned by just adding a few members than some alliances with over 200 members but far less score.

Unless I missed something in my own post, the Maroon War is not in any way, shape, or form what I'm talking about. And I'd love to give NoR a chance, but between them and "NoV", the pattern has just gotten all too familiar. Prove me wrong, I'd be happy.

Oh no, not again... At least they're not Maroon this time, someone elses problem. I eagerly await the inevitable blatantly offensive actions initiated by this alliance and their corresponding beat-down.

It was a good fight while it lasted GDA, and I even made one or two friends out of it. Good luck to you guys as you go about your business from here on out! B)

GOD: I'm fairly sure we're beating you on the GDA nations surrendering to us scale. I also think we got a head start, as our first one came in yesterday. GDA: I tell you this as a courtesy, GOD isn't going to surrender. They have those nukes for a reason, and that reason is they want to unload them as fast as possible into the nations of whoever is attacking them, surrendering doesn't allow that. I was wondering what Xiphs reaction was going to be when he heard about the nutty things being said in this regard in GDA's channel, I can now say he didn't disappoint.

Well that prediction didn't pan out. We are now both glowing AND growing! CSN - Running the wrong way since 2009.

I most certainly appreciate the compliments there... though I'm not sure if I'd call Goose 'sexy'. We miss you BNW, get back to diplomattin'!

To battle(.net)! Nice to be in the first war we've actually entered of our own accord in 2 years. Good to be fighting you GDA.
