Schad Posted September 10, 2011 Report Share Posted September 10, 2011 (edited) [quote name='Kalasin' timestamp='1315632566' post='2797864'] Lol? Nobody really pays attention to Methrage anymore. It's a stretch to claim that he's hurting NG's PR because most people don't care about him either way. [/quote] Therein lies the problem...the only people that are sending aid to him at this point are either those too disconnected from politics to have any idea what they're getting themselves into with their 'tech deals', or those who just like to start !@#$. I'm honestly surprised that anyone continues to white knight for him, regardless of his opponent, given that his sole purpose in life is to trick the oblivious into giving him money; whether he intends to make good tech deals originating as such is immaterial, because none of the participants would go anywhere near him if they had the slightest clue what they're getting themselves into. Anti-heroes are fun and all, but when they make a living getting innocent nations to fund their antics, it's baffling that anyone would support them.

Later the war could go any way, they're not won within the first few days (or even months if we're talking about the larger war with Non Grata).

Like I said, I dislike nuclear rogues, and have dealt with billion dollar rogues in recent times that were much more of a hassle then I'm sure Methrage has been. In fact, recently Methrage sent my alliance several tens-hundreds of similar messages and he got a bite. We ended up aiding one of the nations he ended up nuking considerably despite not being asked for reperations for said nations actions. I might add that this individual did not receive their tech they were promised. However, I have several problems with that line of thinking: One: That the people he is targetting do not come here and read these announcements, and Meth is going to continue to send his allotted 200 messages per day in order to acquire more funds to continue his actions regardless of what is posted here. Two: That this implied threat of military action against those whom he is sending I'm sure very attractive offers will only motivate him more. Not only is it giving him the attention he seeks, but the motivation to continue. He might have very well quietly went away (I won't comment on his current warchest but his bills are relatively high I'm sure and he has stated he has been in bill lock at least once, and the first things to go are usually improvements, and then wonders.) Three: Justifying any sort of military aggression towards any alliance given that this individual has stated he is going out of his way to procure these funds in such a manner. Every alliance has nuke rogues. Not every alliance has Methragerogues. I think there is a different circumstance here and I would be hard pressed to see the validity in starting a war, essentially what Methrage has been wanting as a close second to the funds he's trying to aquire, and essentially giving him what he wants. I'm pretty sure that given everything has been so dead most alliances are familiar with this particular roguery and I think only a ten-fifteen minute conversation with said alliance would be needed to resolve it unless there is considerable evidence that individuals of said alliance went out of their way to aid Methrage intentionally, which, given all of the facts presented here and elsewhere, I have yet to see happen from an established alliance.

NG has said tech deals will be considered AID, and if you AID meth and pals you will face the consequences, you only see it as them banning tech deals because you understand that the consequences would be unpleasant and therefore you wouldn't do that. Since Meth is on the grey sphere its impossible for NG to personally restrict his AID instead all the can do is caution people about making an unwise choice.
