mythicknight Posted April 23, 2011 Report Share Posted April 23, 2011 The whining over Olympus is pretty funny. Congrats on picking up some quality guys, and congrats to Thriller for making acti burn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorgrum Posted April 23, 2011 Report Share Posted April 23, 2011 [quote name='Metha' timestamp='1303572848' post='2697756'] haha thanks and no problem buddy. I don't even try to hide the fact that I personally wished there was more emphasis on war. [/quote] To bad the former nations of Thriller dont share your same view, there was potential for more emphasis for war. All they had to do was complete the task they started. No matter though, we need attention whores too, they help us better understand whats wrong with our planet, and odd paradox indeed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However it dosent really jive with the facts here, they did end the conflict. Odd behavior from people as you describe them above wouldnt you agree? Im no moralist, the planet is what it is they wanted to hit AcTi thats their right as rulers to declare war on whoever they want. Owning the consequences of that action by seeing it through to the stated end (at a minimum) would have been consistant with what you hold to be true above. That didnt happen in this case and while it certainly dosent taint wholely years worth of rep it dosent change the present circumstances. They ran bro, certainly looks that way.

[/quote] I dont blame them at all, I agree they won, particularly if you add into their profits fun had, and pissing off people who didnt do something about it. Its been entertaining, but all the accolades, present and historic dosent negate the othersides view of them tucking tail and running when the heat got turned up. At least it will give everyone a CB for years to come, so there is that service done too. All and all a successful endevor indeed, once all the factors are weighed accurately. cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Metha Posted April 23, 2011 Report Share Posted April 23, 2011 (edited) I can't speak on how or why they ended the war early as I don't really care to find out why, even though most the guys that went to Thriller are friends, but it's done. They went and did what they intended to do which is show everyone there still is a need to prepare for war. They also succeeded in making things interesting and upped activity if only for a few nations. Add that to the profits they gained and the fun they had and you can not deny they won. Something to think about before you call anyone of these people cowards especially since just about everyone of them has ZI'ed their nations to protect others in the past.

Thus, it's hard for me to make easy casualties without a fear for my precious infra. And for the record, I've been in 3 wars, always declared the max aggro wars, not my fault my enemies have been such a fail. (except the goons+allies. those guys did do something right.) At least I never run away when my enemy is greater than I am, like you guys did over here. Cowards. Edited April 23, 2011 by Ziperia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
