Tygaland Posted May 9, 2011 Report Share Posted May 9, 2011 (edited) [quote name='Haflinger' timestamp='1304936356' post='2709004'] You know, you declared war on GATO too. [/quote] No, we declared war on IAA and CSN who attacked the NPO triggering our MDP. You will also notice that we offered white peace to USN (who attacked us) when they wanted to surrender. When the NPO moved to torpedo that offer the STA exited the war with white peace between the STA, IAA, CSN and USN. Your point?

ChairmanHal Posted May 9, 2011 Report Share Posted May 9, 2011 [quote name='Joe Kremlin' timestamp='1304893455' post='2708723'] Because NPO had it coming and then some? The way they played when they were top dog pretty much ensured that when they weren't #1 they'd be in for a world of hurt. [/quote] True, but... [quote name='Schattenmann' timestamp='1304903436' post='2708795'] It's not the way NPO "played," it's the way TOP, IRON, GOONS, GGA, Viridian Entente, Grämlins, GDA, TPF, TORN, FAN, Nordreich/Norden Verein, &c &c. played. [i]You[/i] are to blame. NPO did nothing without the lockstep, slobbering, sycophantic support of its allies like TOP. And that's fine in a removed sense of the word; after all, we're all politicians here. But NPO doesn't have anything "coming to it" that TOP doesn't, TOP just managed to flake out when they saw the axe falling.[/quote] Also true. NPO without all the powerful allies it once had isn't the "OMG!!!11!!!! NPO!!!!!11!!" the children in your nation feared back in the day. NPO's abilities to bring together alliances that would otherwise be shooting at each other is what made them great. There was recognition of this fact before the Karma War, which is why so many people spent so much time undermining the relationships that NPO had within the Continuum and elsewhere. People on these forums have made a significant amount of noise about how NPO's current batch of allies are substandard at best or incompetant at worse. That makes "punishing NPO" all the more silly in 2011, with all absolute and due respect to Valhalla's friends. Attack NPO because they are a large alliance that are in the way of larger current political objectives and then when they no longer pose a problem, cast them aside as you would any other large alliance. They simply no longer warrant "special attention" given that they are no longer the monster under the bed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think GOONs could be put in a worse situation than being dogpiled by 12 alliances. Even if we were, we enjoy fighting. What were you expecting from us, "Oh no MK is making us fight" or something? We're happy to help out our allies because, shockingly, we have better relationships with our allies than you seem to think we do. Is it normal for you and your side to harbor animosity toward your allies, or be on the verge of canceling treaties if they do even one thing you don't like? Do you not enjoy fighting for your allies? [img]http://meru.xfury.net/images/aeris/aerisdisL11.jpg[/img] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daimos Posted May 9, 2011 Report Share Posted May 9, 2011 [quote name='Azaghul' timestamp='1304733414' post='2707834'] Since I apparently need to state the obvious, here are the reasons why we would not have engaged in permanent war: - The FAN war proves that it doesn't work. You can't destroy an alliance with permanent war that is determined to exist in this world. - We don't support the idea. We may dislike some people and may want to wreck their nations in war, but we aren't out to destroy communities. This has been stated plenty of times. - We've never tried to disband or held anyone in perpetual war. It's been years since anyone outside of GOD (who have been yelled at by almost everyone else for it) has tried to do that. - The PR would be absolutely horrible. The "old hegemony" comparisons would be rampant and would be justified, as that's the most extreme thing people tended to hold against the old hegemony. We'd have almost no support in it. At best we'd do as bad as y'all did against FAN, at worse end up like the Gremlins. - It's not in our best interest to have permanent war in our lower tiers. Especially for GOONS which is majority lower tier and for everyone who buys tech from them. [/quote] Funny, these are the reasons why I was against ending the war short of a white peace agreement. NPO and our allies let you off the hook. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
