Pretty sure they weren't when you posted your declaration in defense of Doom. I think one of you launched an offensive, otherwise you've mostly been catching inbound wars from their people who have been fighting.

Yeah I mean the same can be said for CLAWS when you declared on them 🤷‍♂️

Seconded.

Nicely depleted, thanks for that last push. As I understand it though; the state of my warchest determines how much and how long I can wage war with bombs. Posts cost nothing. Alternatively we could get you some Adderall?

That you have, which is why it's nice to see your face around here again because the world is pretty devoid of talent. I won't deny that Lyanna has indeed accomplished a fair bit in NG with the help of her council and as you do now; I once found her to be earnest and authentic when we worked together before she became a full-member of NG. Though as I'm sure you well know, being earnest isn't always the most pragmatic course of action, sometimes you need to adorn a cloak and wield a dagger for a more cut-throat approach to get what you want. It's less a too-cool-for-school sneer on my part but an attempt to present a counter-narrative that your opponents have thus far failed to articulate in a coherent fashion beyond gutteral braying, with the added personal bonus for myself of grinding an axe in the process. Perhaps disenfranchised was the wrong word, many of the alliances in your coalition lacked the means to stand up to their aggressors for years on their own. Many of the people in your coalition cowered in fear at the repercussions of doing anything to defend them despite having the means to do so because heaven forbid they lose pixels or took a risk. I've spent most of my time since coming back in 2019 fighting against CLAWS/Doomsphere (as for your remark about coherent posting, that happened to be one of the weapons in my arsenal- my work could not hold a candle to the standards and quality of Doitzel/Schattenmann but it was from their work that I drew inspiration to use the written word to win a war.) and it is why I have entered the fray against CLAWS once again for OBR/OG. I may have been a brazen raider with my previous alliance but I always made sure to punch up and not down, unlike Doom. It's been a long time coming that people with the military power have actually made a move in that regard so it is genuinely refreshing to see at least something being done. Here's hoping you actually do get the job done properly, but as for Pacifica and Oculus? I couldn't care less about their fate, as many of you have pointed out; they're a mostly inactive husk of what they once were. It seems a futile endeavour to waste resources taking potshots at the jaded inhabitants of Planet Bob's 'Laputa'.

I've been craving one of these for days, many thanks to you.

Thanks for the detailed rebuttal! Better to let your minions defend you when they're so willing. That frees you up to deflect in your usual totally not-abrasive fashion which I'm sure only makes you even more liked right? Oh and to answer your question; at least one more time than you have. Takes a while to make a spaceship out of pixellated skeletons. Oops, touched a nerve eh? My bad. So what you're saying is you're letting her ride on your coattails, while you all sit in the shadows? Well I suppose it is good to have a scapegoat if it comes to it and that's definitely more in keeping with the NG way. I guess I should correct myself; the competent leaders of yesterday who wanted to take down actual targets eho were active(see: Fark In their prime) are trying to vicariously relive past glories and grudges through the daughter of the founders. I'm not sure which is more sad. There's a third option. You're right I have been around long enough. Long enough to know the postal spasms from you all mean I hit the nail on the head. Been around yourself long enough too, we've both seen far more impressive miracles. Your alliance tabled the turns dramatically against TOP out of nowhere during The Bipolar War; The Coalition of Cowards were collectively shamed by the public into burning for NPO; we once had a political dynamic with more than 2 spheres of influence at the same time. A miracle worker she ain't; just someone in the right place at the right time with a disenfranchised group of leaders looking for a cause to burn for. You'll find out.

I'm feeling pretty zen but thanks for the concern. I know people are used to one paragraph posts of mud-slinging and anything with more than that is people taking things "too seriously" - like I said, just popping in to make a rare post. Enjoy the rest of your day

If you say so 🤷‍♂️ Just popping my head above the parapet to put forward a counter-narrative with more to it than both parties exchanging spits of bile. I'm not contesting that you're actually advocating for Polar, but I doubt you sincerely give a damn about OBR/OG/CRAP despite your protestations otherwise. You're more concerned with keeping people on the field and even you all knew that getting blanket white peace for all parties was beyond a farfetched pitch. But hey at least someone in your coalition had the sense to start negotiations.

Make me.

This entire act that NG puts on, this, "we rule from the high mountains of our pixelated casualties pretending not to care and spiting on the inactive alliance we've held a grudge against for years" act is just that, it is your bizarre and boring choice of role play. Except now? It just makes you look bitter and sad because you have no real ambition beyond fruitlessly trying to topple a bunch of so-called inactives at the top of the rankings. No one other than NG is impressed by the NG that it is now, it is barely recognisable from the NG that was. You (in particular) are just riding the coattails and accomplishments of those who came before you who were better, more dynamic and more interesting than this sham pretender shell that you lead now. --- You may be the daughter of the founders but you don't hold a candle to the prior leaders of the many of the true and objectively better Non Grata leaders that came after the formation of Poison Clan, you just ride the coattails of their legacy. The NG of today are just like CLAWS; a hastily assembled merger of individuals who bought into your narrative and you're being shielded by alliances whose legitimate grievances against their opponents you have exploited to keep one side of their coalition busy so you didn't get stomped. That's why you made sure Legion got roped into it early while avoiding RFI yourselves because you knew that by activating RFI they would've defended them (and I know how irate you and LWW got when you found this out- how dare they defend their allies!? They should've done what you wanted right? You don't take kindly to not getting your way all of the time) and they would have given you a much more challenging fight than the majority of RFI could. That's why you goaded people who were victims of Doom raids to jump in against the one front that you refused to touch because you knew what would happen if you did- and who can blame them for wanting a shot at vengeance, at least their motives have far more legitimacy than your grudge war against (as far as you and your members have outlined); an irrelevant bloated inactive alliance. It's not a bad war strategy to mitigate your overall losses but at the end of the day? You have used alliances to pursue your own agenda just as NPO have done in the past. You're no better than them. You do not truly pursue peace because for starters; NG are not actually interested in peace. You are not declining terms because you refuse to leave people on the field, it's because if people leave the field before you do then it's game over for you. What if the other alliances can get better terms for peace than a blanket white peace? OG/OBR/CRAP have a legitimate concern that Doom will continue their hostilities when this war ends; what assurances do they have of this not being the case if all they get is white peace, have you bothered to consider bringing this up? White peace benefits you the most because you can walk away scott-free but OBR/OG/CRAP deserve some concessions from Doom that they'll cease their history of aggression and hostile manouvers against them. If you actually cared about them you'd take that into consideration and actually advocate for them instead solely your own selfish interests. Stop pretending that this is friends > pixels, it's simply realpolitik to pursue your own agenda while alliances each of you have openly mocked for being "terrible" in the past are willing sacrificial lambs for the CLAWS/Doom front so that you don't have to deal with RFI and Oculus simultaneously. The people fighting Doom have a just cause, you are merely pursuing a vendetta that precedes your existence on this planet Nice display of hubris though, if I'm still around long enough I look forward to seeing how your exceptional diplomacy skills work out for you

Agree. They deserve something more than white peace imo. They have a legitimate grievance with Doom and have been subject to aggression/hostilities from them for some time, some concessions to them in that regard should be on the table.

If everyone isn't broke by the end of this war then you all lose imo

Yeah, this money bonfire has been kinda okay to participate in at least, so maybe I'll fuel it a bit longer with other people's money. Soon Ouroboros will be vacating this planet for somewhere better anyway, we're all done with this world. Sorry not sorry about that.

They do make for good piggy banks to break open, though that's more something which benefits me more than it does them.

It's for the best to be that way and I should learn to take my own advice 😄

Thanks I'm glad you agree. To be perfectly honest? I don't even know who you are.jpg Again I agree, I just enjoy a good taunt and sabre rattling otherwise it's just another stale flexing of statistics which we're all too familiar with.

Sure why not, if it only takes 2bux to get in range that's quite the bargain. It's a much cheaper deal than Caustic buying upto 4k infra to gain the upper hand when I declared on him. To clarify; not complaining about the tactic, if anything I'm flattered it was deemed necessary to burn that money to avoid a bruised ego if he somehow lost to little old me!

Tell you what; I'll join them and then I'll start hitting you from there. That ought to do it.

yeh stop using the OWF for things like posting your own observation get with the times and get with the hivemind bro

Yeah I have to say I thought the absurd overkill of blowing up their in-game war flag was a nice touch. What if the real reward was the Polar's we became along the way ❤️

*Laughs in 'has been already fighting Doom for over 2 years'* Yeah, you tell him. You may want to check in on that sentiment with some of your cannon fod- I mean coalition-mates who you aren't allied to.

I find this hard to believe, not because I think that you've done something to cause them to want to hit you (they were your allies in a not too distant past afterall) but I think you do know everyone and their mother hitting CCC was part of a strategic blunder to coax your allies into defending you and attempting to pitch the battlefield according to the terms of your opponent. It's not so much cowardice, just incompetence and lack of initiative.

You do indeed, there was also a NAP treaty that preceded it but I don't think LoSS were part of that but I can't remember what it was even called so I could be wrong.

Well naturally, I'm more inclined to make it clear that I view most leaders with disdain- honesty is the best policy. Though it begs the question; who among us would be so duplicitous to pretend they like someone?
