Timeline Posted October 31, 2011 Report Share Posted October 31, 2011 [quote name='magicninja' timestamp='1320033668' post='2835508'] I can't speak for everyone in GATO but I would have said the same things throughout this little fight if we weren't in CnG.....All I said was the truth. Hell it is IAA. GATO wouldn't have let Legion get away with anything other than what they got. Whether the Sith's allies are of the same mind...I don't know but it will be interesting to see if Legion stays on their demands for much longer....The way I see it now if NSO gets white peace they win.....funny how Legion turned it in to that with their posturing imo...but whatever. [/quote] It has only taken what FOUR years and the backing of CnG for GATO to grow a pair, bravo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] [color="#0000FF"]Yes, Legion was able to fend for itself against an extremely small alliance and two alliances that hardly committed themselves to the war. Very impressive for the Legion, although most alliances wouldn't think much of it. But then again, not all of us can strive for greatest. So I suppose it is fitting for the Legion to settle for mediocrity, if even that much.[/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BloodFury Posted October 31, 2011 Report Share Posted October 31, 2011 Now don't quote me on this, but I do remember someone saying somewhere that NSO was more than enough to take down Legion. I can't quite remember if it was an actual member of NSO or someone from another alliance. It would be interesting if someone could find out who said it.

Tygaland Posted October 31, 2011 Report Share Posted October 31, 2011 [quote name='magicninja' timestamp='1320032882' post='2835499'] Ha. NSO will never admit defeat in this if you ask me. Also, if you ask me, if Legion had tried pushing anything more than white peace on NsO and IAA, we would've rolled. Might be something Legion and their allies may want to consider. I don't know the Sith's allies' minds on this but you should ere on the side of caution methinks. We were all nice enough to not get involved, for the most part, and let you guys scrap it out...I wouldn't push my luck if I were you. [/quote] I'm pretty sure that no one asked you.

All NSO has ever said is that we would do disproportional damage compared to what we take. That much we have done, and more.[/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarmatian Empire Posted October 31, 2011 Report Share Posted October 31, 2011 Honestly, this thread represents everything wrong with Planet Bob. Can someone tell me why we are blasting NSO? Because they talked !@#$ and "are losing" the war? Lets go through my little check list here: NSO talked !@#$ and had fun doing it - check NSO caused controversy and made things interesting - check NSO has gone to war and win or lose have had fun doing it - check Everyone else(not NG) is sitting around, dick in hand, waiting for things to expand - check No one outside of NG and NSO are doing anything to make things fun/interesting. NSO cares not what anyone thinks of them and cares even less about their own NS levels. So you Legion and Polar folks can argue with NSO all you want, get frustrated over what NSO says, or laugh at what they say, but you are either fueling NSO's enjoyment and/or your own, in which case you should be thanking them for having something to do. NSO if anyone has probable cause to claim you have won THE GAME(you just lost) it is you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I realise and I don't decry the fact that expediency will always win over morality or the sensibilities we might have about the way sovereign entities should conduct themselves. The treaty web is the best evidence of this. NSO, Varianz and RV in particular are lulz. There's no serious content, it boils down to "We don't like Legion so we'll bait and generally take the piss" and they've taken that lulzy approach as far as circulating screen shots of Legions private forums and dragging Tetris into their frankly feeble and pathetic game, raising the level until no one could reasonably be expected to rise above it. Some think it's good, interesting. Others think it's a side show that drags down the general tone of our world. It will find its own level in the end.
