Oh my god, this would entirely make my day. I agree with this wise man's sentiments.

So now that GATO is part of the power cluster you suddenly became hungry for war? :laugh:

You left out half of his question though. How much damage was done and what was NG demanding for reps?

If you are concerned about it, don't you have a shiny MDoAP you can invoke?

I think you do.

That's pretty dumb. 30 mil is a bit high, but I personally would have paid it. Have fun.

30 mil requested and they wouldn't come close to that in negotiations.
[/quote]They offered to pay 6 million for 3 million worth of damage. That's a reasonable position. Ten times as much is extortion.

What are you defining as 3mil worth of damage?

I mean, it was at least 2 nations hit, tech was stolen, probably at least 20 per nation if the guy was any good, potentially more, which is almost 3mil by itself. Add in infra lost, money stolen, back collects ruined, even a mid-sized nation I could see easily claiming 30mil worth of damages.

Didn't their MoD raid a protected AA. Sorry, that's just dumb.
[/quote]Sure, and if NG had declared right after you might have a point.

Thing is they didn't. They tried to use the incident as a means of making UPN kowtow. UPN refused to kowtow but still offered reasonable reparations, which were rejected because it was never about the money. It was about demeaning UPN.

Wait seriously? Explains the ridiculous amount of spin in the OP.
