Johnny Apocalypse Posted May 3, 2011 Report Share Posted May 3, 2011 [quote name='HeroofTime55' timestamp='1304457427' post='2705466'] Not really. I mean, for you guys, maybe, but you all continue to be amazingly and/or intentionally blind to how much political capital you guys spent over the course of this war. Really, a staggering sum, much of it not even necessary if you just wanted to roll Pacifica for no reason. Burning through PR is almost like some sort of a sport for you guys.

Vladimir Nikanor Posted May 3, 2011 Report Share Posted May 3, 2011 Politics aside, I'm just glad there's finally a date for force extraction. It's a terrible thing to be in a war with no end date established by High Command. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
White Chocolate Posted May 3, 2011 Report Share Posted May 3, 2011 That's one detailed peace agreement. I'm very glad I had nothing to do with either making it or (at this point) having to keep track of everything to make sure it gets done by the right time, the right amount, blah blah blah. The one thing I do like is the non-aggression pact. Personally (and yes, this is just my opinion and yes I don't know anything about what "really" happened), both "sides" lost respect in this war. Doomhouse for declaring aggressively in the first place and NPO and allies for "defending" by everyone attacking GOONS. Strategic reasons (if there are really any) aside - that almost made me feel sorry for GOONS - and THAT IS a negative as far as I'm concerned.

[/quote] Just to be clear, not "everyone" attacked GOONS. We declared on MK in defense of TPF, and were countered by Umbrella and TOP. SNAFU never fought a GOON nation. That being said, I'm not a fan of the GOONS in general but aside from the peace mode term this is a very reasonable end to the war. Of course there should be no reps but as the defeated party we have to take some crap but by allowing us to do this all in cash (at a reasonable amount no less) they've made our opportunity to rebuild much easier.

Haflinger Posted May 3, 2011 Report Share Posted May 3, 2011 [quote name='Tir Nan Og' timestamp='1304446771' post='2705310'] There are very few alliances in this game that could take on 12 other alliances and win. Surprisingly enough to no one, Umbrella (our ally) is one of those alliances, and 2 billion is their crappiest nations war chest. [/quote] lol, no it's not. You may forget that some of us were at war with Umbrella and have seen their warchests. [quote name='Caliph' timestamp='1304448887' post='2705335'] Sure GOONS did not single handedly defeat all the alliances arrayed against them, but GOONS was on the winning side, that should count for something. [/quote] GOONS meatshielded for the winning side. The fate of alliances who adopt that kind of tactic is rarely a good one.

White Chocolate Posted May 4, 2011 Report Share Posted May 4, 2011 (edited) [quote name='Indian Bob' timestamp='1304466344' post='2705563'] Just to be clear, not "everyone" attacked GOONS. We declared on MK in defense of TPF, and were countered by Umbrella and TOP. SNAFU never fought a GOON nation.[/quote] That's good to know. However, when Doomhouse (a group of alliances) attacked NPO and then the response is declaration after declaration from various alliances on GOONS, it sure looked that way. Of course, the GOONS public relations team is top notch (which is lucky for them, considering they are GOONS) and played that up very well.

[/quote] Should and should not is a matter of how far the leaders and members of the alliances are willing to go for what they believe "should" happen. Having said that, I wouldn't have asked for them in the same situation, for the little that is worth.
