Groucho Marx

While you studied the improvement swap, I studied honorable tank combat.

I spy a few names I recognize. Congratulations I guess?

I'm not sure why you're boasting so much about being mediocre at best at a tank game when your whole schtick was how an independent Hawaii would become a superpower if it could just seize the US Pacific Fleet. Nevermind the fact that your group doesn't even have enough members to man a dingy let alone the training to actually operate a warship. I don't see this dumpy tank game teaching you those skills. At least stay on brand and play a naval game.

I wouldn't mind a visual representation of what is or isn't actually happening in the world.

I have enough to read already, thank you.

A shame all of these old timers are returning with such an uninteresting political dynamic to greet us.

I made the mistake of assuming you were still in that particular garbage dump and didn't know you moved on to another one. I know you were never particularly good at politics but the decision we made to sit out the war was far better than picking either side. As for GOONS choosing to disband instead of allowing inertia to carry us forward when most of the members no longer wanted to put in the time or effort to manage the alliance, I'd say that's a decision that was well made. Those that wanted to either stick around or simply wanted to see what would happen (like me) as a result of this absurd super-bloc joined alliances like Umbrella or VE. I don't believe it would have been fair for the rest of the membership, and especially for the government, to try to force people that simply no longer cared, including the government, to suddenly start caring again. We accomplished a lot through Doom House and we angered a lot of uptight spergs like yourself throughout our existence. There isn't much left keeping the world interesting now and frankly, it's only going to continue becoming more monolithic and boring. So our official goodbye could be read something like this: C ya l8r, nerds. Correct me if I'm wrong (I'm not) but MI6 attempted to blackmail Umbrella so they dumped you. RIP in pepperoni, you.

You might be used to turning on your allies when it's politically expedient, but so far that hasn't even entered my mind as an option. If you're still bitter about that decision it must have been the right one. IRON and other clowns were angry we wouldn't just throw our support behind them in that war and frankly, Umbrella signing with NPO just before the start is the only reason your side won. I can't think of any reason why you feel like you having something to run your mouth about considering NATO's history is littered with incompetence and brown-nosing to survive.

Well, don't forget that TPF had to be shamed into defending NPO back in Karma. Along with MCXA and a few others.

I can think of better things to waste money on than that "watch".

Now hold on a minute there, partner. NG is a different kind of pretentiously terrible from MI6.

Interestingly enough, wars where the terms were justified.

I'm not interested in what you think is fair and I certainly do not care enough to go through the effort of addressing my posts to anyone by name when it isn't necessary. I hope this helps.

When a mentally unstable person threatens you with the capacity to back up those threats, while you're already engaged in another war, you don't go looking to open up yet another front. That NPO moved quickly to prevent this situation from escalating doesn't surprise me in the least and frankly anyone angry at them for doing so are simply wasting their energy over something they never had any control over anyway. It definitely would have been amusing had it come to blows instead of just words but it hasn't, and it's time to move on. Focus on fighting the wars you're currently in instead of lamenting over the ones that could have been.

Somehow that reply was even lazier than Margrave's best efforts. Congratulations, you did it.

Then there can never be peace.

I'll never forget. I find it easier to remember you than 9/11.

Or don't and be better off for it.

Are you roleplaying a Libertarian utopia?

It's no wonder RIA has transformed itself into a global powerhouse under your leadership.

This has become something wonderful.

Are you sure? It's the only chance your alliance has of revitalizing and reforming itself into something not utterly garbage because we already know there isn't anyone currently in TPF capable of doing it.

That's a lot of writing after the fact to justify a ridiculous ban on someone who posted within your new parameters. When discussions all too easily become de facto polls of public opinion, discouraging assent or dissent stifles discussion more than any one word garbage posts ever have.

It really is unfortunate that both RnR and NATO have been allowed to exist for so long. Perhaps this useless bloc called Oculus will rectify the situation.
