I see what happened now from looking at my warn log. I must've missed/forgot that.

It's the Global radiation messing up your nations environment. Worse environment means less citizens. It's effecting everyone. The ways to counter it are to get the bonus resource radiation cleanup.

Let me check something with my post here. I know people will hate me for it but I now have a 0% warn when I had 20% on the old boards. /me waits for eggs and rotten tomatoes to be hurled his way.

Haha you crazy Sith.

Yes good stuff.

Chaotic Good seems about right these days.

It is damn lovely to see this old friendship renewed. No u wickedj....no u

Rational people would agree with both sides. You're all insane.

Why was there a deadline? What was the conditions?

It does seem to reek of more motives than the ones mentioned. Seems like fussing over a tech raid on an unrelated alliance and getting some unkind things said for butting in doesn't seem enough to go to war from my viewpoint. Maybe there is more to it though.

The crazies are in charge of the nuthouse.

Grizzly. Best of luck to all concerned.

We'll start with the bad news. GATO has decided to drop it's protectorate with Midnight Order. While nice guys we just don't think they are putting in the effort they should be. The first few weeks were great and then they dropped off the face of the Bob. Our advisors reported that their forums was a wasteland and I hadn;t seen any member of MO on their iRC in months. I do wish them the best however and maybe this will be just the wake up call they need to get it together. Now for the good news. We have decided to do something GATO has done only one other time in it's storied history, sign a treaty with an aggression clause. The first time was with LUE a long, long time ago. Maybe it's significant, maybe not. You can judge that for yourself. We upgraded our MDP with IAA to an MDoAP.

GATO's pals. Do not touch.

I think it's informed as well as messaged but I digress. GATO doesn't do tech raiding but we acknowledge any alliances right to do so. We also respect CB's right not to deal with tech raiders. So it all works out.

I do believe this is a great thing to see.

Yeah it's just on of those the ones you love hurt you the most kind of things. I'm sure it'll simmer down.

Indeed some did take it that hard. Justice is being carried out and hopefully we'll move passed what happened and one day be on friendly terms again.

This is great news guys. Keep it up.

I hope the situation never arises so that this move can be misconstrued as some sort of copout. Good luck though. Definitely an interesting move.

Just get rid of BD and you guys can accomplish a lot. That guy is bad news though. Best of luck guys.

I got a Coal Wine guy for the Aff pop and Jewlery circle.

Always use diplomacy.
