Vladisvok Destino Posted June 21, 2011 Report Share Posted June 21, 2011 [quote name='BamaBuc' timestamp='1308694716' post='2737857'] The word official is in there because it is impossible (OOC: and arguably unethical considering OOC friendships) to stop that many people from even talking as friends. It would have been beyond foolish to try to police that. All that can really be regulated is offical contact. -Bama [/quote] Which judging by comments like this one from Locke when asked why SOS hadn't tried to contact NsO before DoWing: [quote name='Locke' timestamp='1308627069' post='2736539'] <Mio|afk> yeah, you can stop being a dip!@#$ like that <Mio|afk> before i pressure your allies to expel you Why wouold I ever speak to you again? [/quote] Makes you wonder, precisely what "official" contact was there that is now prohibited? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Big Bad Posted June 21, 2011 Report Share Posted June 21, 2011 [quote name='Jens of the desert' timestamp='1308693930' post='2737819'] Of course you could say that, but at the end of the day SOS already has allies, and what's more, allies who had obviously been consulted before this happened and gave the go-ahead, so I think SOS are in a pretty decent position at the end of this, all things considered. [/quote] I do not know how being publicly humiliated and making ones alliance widely mocked across Planet Bobs polical spectrum is a pretty decent position. In fact if I was in SOS I would not only be angry that my leadership made us look like idiots but, that they also ran home with tail between legs making us look like cowards. I expect SOS will continue to see members leaving that mess. I wonder who they will try and blame next? Congrats NsO on your victory.

LegendoftheSkies Posted June 21, 2011 Report Share Posted June 21, 2011 [quote name='Jens of the desert' timestamp='1308693350' post='2737793'] I think what you're all missing is that SOS pulled off an alliance wide raid and got the terms they wanted, all at no expense. Deserve a pat on the back for that, alone. [/quote] To be honest, Jens is kind of right. And as far as PR damage goes, pretty much no one liked SOS to begin with, so does it really make any difference? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Banksy Posted June 21, 2011 Report Share Posted June 21, 2011 If your intention was to break off all contact from the NsO then you would have stated it from the outset. Instead you gave us a convoluted story about unverified 'attempted' spying and 'member poaching' and proceeded to declare war. If you wanted to ignore them, there is an ignore feature on IRC and on these forum. No one buys your story because after five years, we've come to learn that if it looks like !@#$ and smells like !@#$, it is !@#$. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krashnaia Posted June 21, 2011 Report Share Posted June 21, 2011 To the alliances involved: Conglaturations. A winner are you. To all the people who experienced a boner 'cuz they hoped this would drag those they depise into a curbstomp: Too bad. Better luck next time.

supercoolyellow Posted June 21, 2011 Report Share Posted June 21, 2011 [quote name='Chimaera' timestamp='1308692426' post='2737718'] The alliances of New Sakura Order and SOS Brigade agree to cease all conflict against each other, and agree to avoid all official contact.

[/quote] Personally I liked the one that was proposed first more. "The New Sakura Order willrefrain from any agressive act or contact with the SOSBrigade, and the SOS Brigade will pay the same respect in return." Those NsO warmongers being aggressive and all that!

[/quote] Seeing as I quite liked this analogy from the DoW: [quote name='Aeros' timestamp='1308663239' post='2737204'] This is actually more like a fight breaking out at a children's hockey game. It starts with little johnny bopping little stevie over the head with his stick, and ends with the mommies and daddies beating the !@#$ out of each other while johnny and stevie cry from the sidelines.

Locke Posted June 21, 2011 Report Share Posted June 21, 2011 [quote name='Micheal Malone' timestamp='1308694654' post='2737851'] You and I had a talk like this before and you sounded pretty similar then about how we ruined your time and effort and work you put into Invicta. [/quote] ...What? That's pretty absurd. OOC: Off topic, but I'll bite. I left Invicta because I was busy with college and didn't have time to deal with the Stickmen. Where you get what you said I'll never know. [quote name='TheListener' timestamp='1308694801' post='2737860'] Considering they wanted to "Teach NsO a lesson for a little while before peace." I'd say they didn't get what they wanted from this situation. Perhaps I'm one to think that a little while is more than one update of war before running with your tail tucked because you realized that the alliance you messed with has a good protector. [/quote] Some of us (anyone who read this topic can guess one) wanted more. But in the end you were dealing with me, I finalized things on our end, so my goals are what matters.
