Bob Janova Posted August 12, 2011 Report Share Posted August 12, 2011 I'm sure there are some bragging rights attached to successfully spying the no. 1 nation – though whoever tried didn't get those in this case. And no, it wasn't me. OBR is an alliance I respect and spying on them would be kind of awkward. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Good Greg23 You are absolutely correct. That is not what has been happening. People are spying on nations and the information then appears on the OWF via another source. So I am giving our spy the oppourtunity to share with us all so that I may share with all as well. Honestly if others have it first their is little incentive for our friend to come forward. You also did not ask this request in a PM so I concluded you wanted it posted publicly as well. Respectfully Dame Hime Themis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Congrats [/quote] Good the Rebel If you had actually read my full set of posts you might have understood that this is part of our drill system and we had not run one for a while. With over a million casualties combat is not something I am unfamiliar with but pointless casualties does not enhance the reputation of anyone. This could have been a prelude to an attack on our alliance and thus we took preemptive actions. It might have been a rogue where exactly do you see the honour in pointless losses to such a rogue??? I am at a loss to see where I stated that they would be attacked if they revealed themselves. In fact I said that I would share the information they had tried to gather so long as they shared theirs publicly as well. You have a large body count. Good for you. I have a body count in the top 13% so what. My point was spying is impolite and your alliance would likely roll anyone caught doing so. We react differently. Not once have I even mentioned being the #1 nation. I clarified a rules question from someone I felt had a legitimate question that was underestimated in the resulting answer posted by the next poster. I do believe that during the last war NPO was portrayed in a negative way for having top nations in peace mode. The assertion was as incorrect then as it is now. I will not apologize for having built my nation nor for running a drill that allows our alliance to survive an attack by another alliance.We do not have the numbers of a large alliance so we must be more cautious. This is not cowardice but prudence. I really wonder at your words when I am certain what the result of such an action by your alliance would have been. I do not begrudge your alliance the right to act in a way they deem fitting. Our alliance however prefers to take an incident of this nature and give rise to some humour and issue a fun challenge. Re-reard the title, do you really think I regard this incident with grave fear. You need to read some Sun Tzu. In all fighting, the direct method may be used for joining battle, but indirect methods will be needed in order to secure victory. In battle, there are not more than two methods of attack - the direct and the indirect; yet these two in combination give rise to an endless series of maneuvers. The direct and the indirect lead on to each other in turn. It is like moving in a circle - you never come to an end. Who can exhaust the possibilities of their combination?

Message: Your nation has been attacked with nuclear weapons by Hime Themis. Your fallout shelters have limited the damage caused by this attack. You lost 2740 soldiers, 0 defending tanks, 50 cruise missiles, 1,547.783 miles of land, 515.928 technology, 1,547.783 infrastructure, 50% of your aircraft, and 18% of your nuclear vulnerable navy force.

Pointless losses no it wouldnt be pointless because actually staying in warmode and going fully militarised waiting for the possible shows you have the willingness to defend yourself. But instead you hug your infra/tech and number 1 spot in the world like a hippy. I know you said it's a "drill" to why you're in peacemode what a perfect coincidence.
