President S O Posted April 24, 2011 Report Share Posted April 24, 2011 (edited) [quote name='MrHavok' timestamp='1303621054' post='2698255'] Just because you portay yourself as "the home of second chances" doesn't mean that everyone has to follow your mantra. What the group of rogues did was cowardly and payback sucks and since they attacked an alliance because they didn't like the people doesn't recuse you from the same fate should people decide to retaliate against these rogues down the line. Just because you say so doesn't make it so [/quote] You talk about not following a mantra, these people are the very example of not following a mantra, and they did it right. You sir are following a mantra by mouthing off here with the likes of Haf. If people want to give "payback" to those that were a part of Thriller, then do so. If you happen to do so to the people under the Olympus AA, they won't find themselves alone. [quote name='Haflinger' timestamp='1303621181' post='2698257'] You can portray yourselves as the home of second chances, but given that you have just welcomed a group of powerful, well-connected rogues with large nations into your ranks, I suspect a different philosophy is in play here. [/quote] Its not about "portraying" its about what we've done in the past, present and will continue to do in the future that proves we're the home of second chances. We've given those chances to individuals and entire alliances. If they're so powerful and well-connected, why do they find themselves seeking refuge? If they're so cowardly, why was it that they took on an alliance larger than them? You see Haf, you're wrong, you quite often are.. but with people like you, no one else can ever be right nor can anyone else do right in your mind unless they're doing it your way.

mrwuss Posted April 24, 2011 Report Share Posted April 24, 2011 [quote name='TrotskysRevenge' timestamp='1303626350' post='2698320'] Not sure what all the ruckus is ; this is no different than any other organized raiding. Olympus has taken WickedJ, Londo and some others in after they found themselves without an alliance. Speaking for myself (not the NPO gov), I don't see the problem and I hope this works out for all concerned. Also, Pansy will never overtake my record of being nuked. Never.

oinkoink12 Posted April 24, 2011 Report Share Posted April 24, 2011 Ok, everybody using the "penkala" argument is a retard. (penkala argument being that if you have low casualties they count harder than high casualties cause you got more NS to get them) Second of all, if your nationbuidling sucks so bad that you've NEVER reaced over 8k infra, there is no reason for that (only a few exceptions being alliance leaders who are nukerogued every 4 days) Third of all, declare on me, idiot stole my nr 1 casualty spot.

Bob Janova Posted April 24, 2011 Report Share Posted April 24, 2011 (edited) So did AcTi accept this peace offer or have Olympus just involved themselves in the war by accepting nations still attacking them? And yes, very disappointing to see an alliance giving these clowns a free pass so quickly, but not that surprising ... 500k of aggressive NS is a big prize to pass up. Oh well, it gives people a nice hook to draw NPO into a war at some point. Edit: just saw one of the many poorly titled threads, apparently they did accept it.

MrHavok Posted April 24, 2011 Report Share Posted April 24, 2011 [quote name='Metha' timestamp='1303622511' post='2698276'] How are you going to retaliate? You have nothing to do with AcTi so any "retaliation" will actually be a first strike. Look you people can say what you wish but you do not choose who applies let alone who gets accepted into Olympus. I am in gov't and I can't even do that, it's our members who accepts or denies applicants. In the end they applied and most were accepted. So until they do something to be removed from our AA we will protect our members so please feel free to "retaliate". BTW just because you call someone a rogue doesn't make it so none of you have given any proof what so ever that members of thriller were rogues. Yet they were able to prove they were an alliance with a protectorate and a formal declaration of war, the fact that they folded so early means nothing. [/quote] Thanks for making everyones point it would be a first strike very similar to the cowardly acts of the group of rogues who did a first strike on another alliance. Nobody can tell you who you can accept as members you are right just don't be surprised when the acts of these people come back to hurt you much like it did for all of the members not named teddyyo or battalion when they were hit blindsided by a first strike. I wasn't the one that called them rogues it was wicked and his moronic line of reasoning by comparing themselves to the ninjas when they attacked GOONs. It was clearly established then that the ninjas were considered a group of rogues who had a goal to hit just one alliance and were then sanctioned so blame your newest member for causing people to make the logical leap based on past history and precedent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
