Would a war with Legion really count as "backfiring" though?

I honestly don't think that a few grumpy posters like yourself, nutkase or d34th arguing back and forth definitively determines anything about NSO's so-called "great PR stunt".

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.

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.

Or actually knowing the definition of a phrase. Dictionaries are good.

Let's look it up Webster.

an event used to justify starting a war
wordnetweb.princeton.edu/perl/webwn

Casus belli is a Latin expression meaning the justification for acts of war. Casus means "incident", "rupture" or indeed "case", while belli means "of war". ...
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Casus_belli

An act seen as justifying or causing a war
en.wiktionary.org/wiki/casus_belli

Case or incident of war. Often misspelt as causus belli and believed to mean “cause of war.” This is not correct.
listverse.com/2007/10/02/30-latin-terms-explained/

(Optional) A brief summary of the war reason.

casus belli
— n , pl casus belli
1. an event or act used to justify a war
2. the immediate cause of a quarrel
Collins English Dictionary - Complete & Unabridged 10th Edition




By your logic, every war has a justification, and that thought makes me laugh, Mr. Celestial Being.

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?

Maybe it would be wise if members of VE stayed out of any discussions about spy operations and their potential for escalation.

Oh look an attempt at being clever against a person's AA. Mighty original.

Do you believe in valid or invalid CBs? If you do then there is where you're not understanding what a CB is. There are no such things as vaild or invalid CBs.

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. You won't use it though will you.

I try my best to impress. Please ignore me and carry on with your very original thought provoking CB validation/tech raiding discussion.

I'll excuse a Viridian for not knowing what a CB is.

If you have a CB against Legion, then go for it and stop biqouring.
