[quote name='Aloop' timestamp='1324614068' post='2884548'] No, just having more fun fighting a competent alliance. BN's making Valhalla and Asgaard look pretty amateurish. [/quote] tbh you should be more concerned about what BN is making [u]you[/u] all look like

[quote name='WarriorConcept' timestamp='1324707318' post='2885455'] There are other ways to defend an ally. On that we'll just have to agree to disagree. [/quote] WC is partially correct Bob, VE has stopped a full on dogpile on GOD, but in the end it didnt matter much as all slots have been taken so any more alliances on GOD wouldnt have been a good use of resources anyhow. The only thing more alliances on GOD would have done is limit and spread out some of the damage they are giving out.....which we all KNOW VE doesnt want. So in the end VE and GOD are happy that they feel strategy wise they did the best they collectivelly could in this instance to protect GOD and also allow GOD to do more damage to those they and VE dislike. So tbh from how they went about it, m fully expecting VE and PB(whom have basicly dodged dmg in this conflict and are relatively whole) to try and set up MJ and collaterally DR(Though it will be interestng to see how they do it with the IRON>TOP>VE chains).

Quality post. Happy Holidays to all of you in FARK and everyone here on Bob. [ooc] Merry Christmas to all, and a Happy New Years! [/ooc]

[quote name='Max Power' timestamp='1324507326' post='2883535'] This isn't directed personally at you, just a general observation. Why must every outgunned alliance start with this TOP in Bipolar-style martyrdom? I had no active wars for about three days because all GOD slots in my range were filled, while still having a full nuke stockpile after a round of war. Sometimes, it's not about how many alliances are [i]needed[/i] to take you down, it's about how many alliances [i]want[/i] to take you down. Also, "number of alliances" is deceptive. SC and NEAT are both pretty small, and are in this war because they wanted to back us. BN + SC + NEAT is 96 nations, which is less than a lot of single alliances. [/quote] TBH who cares about how much he cries about how many alliances it may or may not take to take GOD down... Point is, and one he cannot refute, is they ARE being taken down and imho the more alliances on them the merrier as it minimizes and spreads out the dmg GOD gives out while they themselves reap it all and as more time goes by its becomes more crippling to any sort of resources they have left after the war in order to rebuild. More nuking, less debating on why said nukes are flying makes Bob a better place

[quote name='Omniscient1' timestamp='1324090138' post='2880236'] What this guy said. I really enjoyed the read though. It's very hard to look at our world through a realist view. I can't remember the word (maybe you can help me out), but it's the view that people aren't completely rational actors, that emotion plays a role too. Here on Planet Bob, it's very easy to see. [b]The causes of war are less about trying to increase your power, and more about "he said something mean to me".[/b] [/quote] Almost. The causes of war are about someone somewhere wanting to increase their power and hiding it behind the veil of "he said something mean to me" or both reasons, but any war on a large scale has power at its core somewhere.

[quote name='Biff Webster' timestamp='1324056022' post='2879965'] It's too bad Valhala didn't ask you to spy on GOD. If they had, you probably would have gotten a treaty while Valhalla were the ones attacked. [/quote] Yep to bad it didnt happen, now we just have to resign ourselves to continuing to melt RIA down to slag. Gosh darn it, things never work out the way one wants...

Have fun propagating mushrooms throughout MHA.....even if those mushrooms are just in the form of clouds Happy hunting MK

Props for fighting an uphill battle and not shirking from it.

[quote name='Sardonic' timestamp='1323918646' post='2878308'] So do you not see the glaring error Neb-X has made or do you just not care? [/quote] I see the huge error Sard, and agree its very idiotic, my reply was to biff's little drone reference.

[quote name='Biff Webster' timestamp='1323916064' post='2878262'] Why are we only blaming Neb-X here? Aren't they just a Valhalla vector? [/quote] Straw man what? I guess now any ally of ours is a 'vector' or tangent of Val? Using the same argument you arent just a vector of GOD, you are the tissue that wipes their ass.

[quote name='Sniper Joe' timestamp='1323646497' post='2874359'] The guy's actions weren't sanctioned by BN, nor were they intentional. It was a mistake. And even if it wasn't, I'd say if you fall for something like that you deserve whatever happens. The guy who made a mistake doesn't represent BN, and[b] one inactive idiot making a terrible thread doesn't represent GOD. Let's move on shall we?[/b] [/quote] No, but it sure makes it easier to keep pointing and laughing

[quote name='Thunder Strike' timestamp='1323601296' post='2873771'] Thanks for acknowledging the RIA's ability to anarchy 4 alliances to the point where they unable to effectively stagger us. [/quote] Thing is most of you ARE staggered but with the rest of us in anarchy and unable to redeclare, some extra nations to sit in your slots chipping away at more of your infra until us first rounders get back out of anarchy and re-slam you all....again just makes strategic sense. Where as you guys will just be in perpetual anarchy without the ability to redeclare on anyone....ie:fish in a barrel for the rest of us in approx4-5 days. So yea, see in 4-5 days and you can retoot your horn again about how kick ass you guys are doing etc etc Have fun, we are

Man I havent seen this many regular members in a thread crying since the GPA war... GJ CSN, I hope you bought your Kleenex at Costco because so far all your whiny BS has come in bulk

Enjoy the nuke fest guys, this is what you have wanted for quite awhile.

You guys are welcome backstage on all of our concerts Have fun SNAFU, you guys are great

[quote name='Stonewall Jaxon' timestamp='1323566311' post='2873045'] I'd actually like to say something to your credit. I've accused many alliances of changing over the years, but if there's one thing I can say about Valhalla it's that you haven't changed one iota, and that's something extremely rare. [img]http://i530.photobucket.com/albums/dd345/MKpropaganda/valhallablind.jpg[/img] [/quote] Ill take that as a huge compliment, Im proud of the fact that Valhalla could give a crap about anything you or any outside agency has to say about how we approach handling our bsns. Though for you to equate standing behinds ones beliefs and convictions while supporting ones allies as anywhere close to the stance noWedge took on situations(hint his stance was a total 180 from that) you really have no place to give much opinion as yours is shown to be extremely flawed in thinking such. /me shrugs

[quote name='Stonewall Jaxon' timestamp='1323563452' post='2873006'] To quote someone I know: You're doing a lot of fighting right now, chef, while DoomHouse is giggling and prodding you along. Like I said in my reply to OsRevan, just because you're on the winning side right now doesn't mean you're in a position of power or that you're not disposable. [/quote] Trust me, we recognize the fact that certain alliances and blocs seem to be handling more of the work load then others, be that as it may Valhalla will dig our heels in, fight whomever is in our slots to the fullest of our ability and talk about/deal with the ramifications of how things went down in this war and its effect on us and our allies after the dust has settled and the nukes are back in bed.

[quote name='Dajobo' timestamp='1323523009' post='2872487'] The irony of you saying this while making sure you are nice and safe on the larger side is gold. [/quote] Recognizing circumstances and acting accordingly in order to secure ones friends and alliance mates is how survival works. These are the cards that have currently been dealt, play accordingly. Or you can sit in the corner crying for good times past while getting your ass handed to you for being an anachronistic pariah. I know which id choose

Give em hell TIO

I wish my old and sadly ex allies and friends in OMFG nothing but the best in their campaign to stamp out those dirty Spartans. o/

Welcome to the meatgrinder

Have a great time Gre.

Cya Sparta, its been real, its been fun, aint been real fun

Lady justice died on this world years ago. Karma and its false rally cry of making a brighter and less oppressive world that was then used as a smokescreen for what was basically just a power change rather then a social change drove the final spike thru her heart. Our current situation is nothing more then kicking the already dead and bloated corpse of what was once a lively and viable component of Bob
