I think what some of the posters here are missing is that this situation fell right into our lap, whenever Legion en masse attacked and argued against our military performance and warchests last war, and in response CNers began checking it out for themselves. They also messed up mightily by accusing Varianz of spying, which is baseless and false. Now, have we had fun with it? You betcha.

[/quote] Take into account NSO's track record. Van Hoo says don't aid said nation or it will be war, NSO sends aid anyway. GOONS is at war with Methrage and NSO decides to aid Methrage. So you see, jumping to the conclusion that NSO would do something stupid isn't completely out of line here. Have your fun. In the end it will accomplish nothing for you.

[/quote] Every war does have its own justification to the one declaring it, just because other do not agree with it does not make it any less justifiable in the aggressor's eyes, merely makes the reasoning appear weak in comparison to the norm of what's deemed "acceptable." Certain people believe tech raiding is justified while others do not, does that mean that when someone raids it's not justified? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In this case of Legion accusing Varianz. That is the act or the CB that NSO could use if it wanted to go to war. It cannot be argued to be valid or invalid. You have a CB.
