Heh, I would say Olympus is the biggest winner in the Thriller War. They've taken in some quality nations, and they have also taken in what I consider some quality leaders.

President S O Posted April 23, 2011 Report Share Posted April 23, 2011 (edited) [quote name='Jacapo Saladin' timestamp='1303474658' post='2696460'] Why would they need to go back to their old home when Olympus is more than welcome to accept these sacks of garbage. You guys pretty much thrive on letting the weak and feeble in these days. [/quote] Quoting for truth? We're always horribly inactive, suck at war and nation building.

Much respect to Athens for sticking to a principled stand. Your alliance has done or sanctioned some dubious things in the past, but this deserves acknowledgement, so well done. [/quote] No kidding. I'll have to get my head examined if Athens rejects these guys' applications but Olympus accepts them. Up will be down. But I guess that good alliances occasionally do bad things and bad alliances occasionally do good things. Just didn't think Olympus would slip up.

[/quote] Can't win them all. I will sleep just fine tonight even though I disagree with Olympus. All told, they're still in my top five favorite alliance, I'm just facepalming a bit at this most recent act. But as I said, good alliances do stupid things occasionally. I do hope that there are no long term negative side effects other than negative PR for them and that the Thriller people don't tread on their friendship. WickedJ in Olympus is a hilarious concept to think of though. Kind of like a bull in a china shop. /me hands Pansy a tissue.

[/quote] [color="#FF00FF"] Why would Olympus not accept these people? They did not do anything wrong under the Olympus AA and their actions were not as horrible as you people love to suggest. All they are guilty of is not liking some alliance's leadership and took action. In the end this "war" was just a large scale tech raid. If I were apart of Thriller I wouldn't have stopped so short. Maybe now AcTi will do something about their members inability to protect themselves and hopefully their members will see how their own leadership doesn't care what happens to them. OOC: Remember this is a multiplayer nation simulator where war accounts for at least 50% of the game mechanics. Personally I do not see the point in growing growing growing with no war or adverse effects on ones nation. The real game is to use game mechanics plus political strategy to survive not to ***** out in peace mode every time there is a chance for war.[/color] Edited April 23, 2011 by Metha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] I don't see how they are rogues. They were under an AA with a charter and at one point even had a protectorate. They also made a formal declaration of war here and only went after AcTi nations. Plus everyone that has applied to Olympus sent peace request and stopped their attacks so I am sorry to say but their "rogue" status that your arguing just doesn't hold up.

I don't even try to hide the fact that I personally wished there was more emphasis on war. I am not saying everyone should just throw down 24/7 for whatever reason they can pull out of their ***es but a little more action would be nice.

[/quote] Technically, they're usually the best fighters and definitely not afraid to fight. As long as there are no adverse effects to accepting them, there shouldn't be a problem. I don't see Argent hunting each and everyone of them down, so all in all, Olympus cashed out on this little Thriller. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
