Rayvon Posted October 7, 2011 Report Share Posted October 7, 2011 [quote name='Banedon' timestamp='1318015728' post='2819971'] I'm assuming it was a case of they really wanted to join in the fun and our gov had to sit on them to call them back. But I'm just guessing since I'm an ambassador, not the Grand Poobah. And I'm sure we could spin it around and ask what NSO and RoK were cooking up? We had a RoK nation declare on us, however it was just one as far as I know. [/quote] We were planning to use our treaty if your 'friends' figured out how to use theirs.

iamthey Posted October 7, 2011 Report Share Posted October 7, 2011 (edited) [quote name='ChairmanHal' timestamp='1318015548' post='2819967'] There are a lot of [b]unanswered questions[/b] regarding this war I'd love to have the answer to when it's over. That's one. [/quote] Legion is rightfully invoking a cb that a few polaris leaders pioneered, I don't see any reason to sit this one out. So polar what will it be- will we see back up or a back stab?

Unknown Smurf Posted October 7, 2011 Report Share Posted October 7, 2011 [quote name='Heft' timestamp='1318009497' post='2819852'] All this silliness about Legion's allies staying out because "Oh, we don't need them we're just dandy here" would be a lot more believable if we didn't already know that those allies only called off their attacks at the last minute [b]due to the counters that would have resulted. [/b] Legion now wants to puff up their chest and act all big and tough in order to hide the fact that they're afraid to escalate the war that they started. [/quote] While you have attempted to remain factual (aside from the rest of your alliance in their wild claims), you are either misinformed or following the rest of your alliance's embellish-now back-pedal-later code here. Yes, they changed their minds "last minute" but it was not due to the counter declarations. Did we oust all your spies or do you just not read their reports anymore? [quote name='Heft' timestamp='1318010217' post='2819871'] The fact is they were going to escalate it, and they intended to do so from very early on. Invicta and Europa were going to counter us. We all know this, we all knew it then, and we all know that it was only called off in the last few hours. Nothing significant or unexpected had happened in the war itself, so the only reasonable conclusion is they looked at how things would spiral upward and didn't like what they saw. [/quote] You don't think we checked how it would "spiral" before making target lists? <Insert yeah, you guys are incompetent joke here> How did we magically get competent a few hours before said attack was to happen? You've obviously made mistakes about the Legion's ability up to this point, do not propagate the same error. [quote name='kriekfreak' timestamp='1318015224' post='2819959'] Also what I was wondering if you, Legion, asked all your allies to stay out why did Invicta and Europa tend to go in? [/quote] I think you mean intend, and you mean Europa, not Invicta. Invicta's target lists we're also spied were they? No, because they didn't make them. They did not intend to go in. As for Europa, I assume it was for the same reason RoK intended to go in. They thought it was the beginning of something much larger, or maybe they actually fell into the hype NSO set for themselves and then spy reports came in and we saw their real warchests...

IYIyTh Posted October 7, 2011 Report Share Posted October 7, 2011 Can we stop pretending that constantly re-asking a question that has been answered has any more meaning the twelfth, thirteenth, et al time? I get that some people are dreadfully upset that the Legion are not inclined to force their allies into an ill-advised war venture and potentially increase the odds against the Legion as well because they won't be able to get involved, but really? 32 pages of asking why a mutual agreement between two alliances is worth less than some random want-to-war floozie's opinion? Or the hilarious concept of that in a completely similar situation (see, macro,) your alliance would do something dissimilar or that it would be relevant to what another alliance wants to do is just as bad. My question is when this conflict is going to end. Usually states war when they have a purpose. If the purpose was to show the world that the Legion will attack when you're a bug on the windshield and pop your mouth off, mission accomplished. Beyond dumb.

Enough of your nations can launch nukes to keep you from completely failing in the first round of war, congratulations. As for preparation, since Legion apparently failed to communicate its own intent to declare war to its nations prior to declaring war, despite having ample time to do so (since you chose to start this fight, after all), it wouldn't be unreasonable to think that you also didn't give much thought towards the consequences.
