IYIyTh Posted October 31, 2011 Report Share Posted October 31, 2011 Why do I feel like the previous posters have just been licking their lips, talking to RoK for the past few days in private drawing up all sorts of ways this could work for themselves and saying to themselves "You know, if you do this for us, we might be able to finally hit Polar. We'll even pretend to be your friend for a couple days." It's okay, down with White Peace. As someone said not too long ago, who cares about P.R. Do it to it.

From the moment that serious efforts were underway to build a credible defense for SF against Q in late 2008 until the Karma coalition sprung its trap in 2009, there were two well coordinated and absolutely planned PR campaigns conducted on two fronts against NPO, one designed to evoke embarrassing revelations, the other to make NPO appear to be gradually weakening in influence as treaty cancellation mounted and seemingly once loyal allies defected. PR matters. [i]OOC: It is also not why our player numbers are down...other factors are far more influential. That said, I find the world a much more interesting place as of late.[/i] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This has stalled political shifts for a year at a time since the advent of needing an airtight OOC:ingame OOC: so that allies will actually do what allies are supposed to do. The system stinks. Anything that is anti-system that is even tried right now, is better than continuing to sit here and wait.

[/quote] First off Bob, this is not directed solely at you, you are just the latest to say it. This has been being said all day, The tag line that NSO said repeatedly that they alone could take down Legion. I went back to World Affairs, and read 4 NSO taunt legion threads. You know what I didnt see ? What I didnt see was ONE single NSO member say they could beat Legion in a 1v1 war. I saw a couple of CSN guys. A couple of TLR guys, a couple of those Carlos freaks, all suggest it. Didnt see one single NSO guy suggest it. Now, granted, I only read 4 threads(totalling 20 pages), but FFS, it would seem to me that if it were as clear and rampant as it is being made out to be, that I would find at least ONE post by one of them in those 20 pages, saying they would win 1v1 vs Legion. So, I offer this challenge to ALL of you. Fine me 10 NSO member posts(from different members) where it is said they can beat Legion 1v1. Thats.... 8% of their alliance. Or, to make it easier, find me TWO high gov posts that suggest this. Or, STFU about it, and stop spewing a tag line because you see it being used elsewhere. Now to clarify, Im not saying that these posts dont exist, Im simply saying that I didnt find them, and if they are so rampant, they should be easy for SOMEONE to find. Shouldnt they?

It all depends on the goals you set forth.
