CBray Posted December 14, 2011 Report Share Posted December 14, 2011 [quote name='JazAce' timestamp='1323868098' post='2877717'] Bro, watch it again, I think you missed the end when they all died. But otherwise sure, you proved my point, sometimes winning isn't the reason you go to war, because sometimes you can accomplish other goals by fighting and losing. Like in 300. Where they all died. That's like Zero Infrastructure and deleting their nations. Dead. Accomplished other goals (e.g providing time for others to assemble forces, or showing that the "God King" could bleed). But died. So lost. [/quote] Don't call me bro, bro. I ain't your bro. No the Spartans on the day died, but by delaying the Persian advance long enough for the Spartan and Greek City states to raise their army and finally defeat the persians. Therefore won. If you're going to compare what you're doing to a historical context then I'd suggest something more like MCXA being Luxembourg defending against Germany at the outbreak of war. A minor inconvenience. Bro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supercoolyellow Posted December 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2011 [quote name='Ernesto Che Guevara' timestamp='1323845825' post='2877569'] Look, nobody ever wants to fight a fair fight. That's stupid. If I'm going into a fight, I'm going in with overwhelming odds if I can help it. That's the way strategy works. Yes, we called in allies on MCXA. Was it because we were losing? We were scared? No, we weren't losing, but yes, we were scared. Words scare us. We're practically illiterate over at Europa. That's beside the point. We called in allies on MCXA to get them out of the war as fast as possible so we could move on to another front and help yet another ally. We have nothing against the average member of MCXA, but when SCY is your spokesperson (Official or not, that's the way we all view it), we start to see you as his little cronies. I'm not doubting the courage of the average MCXAer, but what I'm doubting severely is their government's competence and knowledge of when to cut their losses. This goes for the whole Sentinel coalition. Sure, we called on you to surrender, but that's because [i]you're losing[/i]. Yes SCY, I understand that there's more to war than winning (like losing), but at the end of the day, you have to ask what you're really fighting for. At the end of the day, you're fighting to defend NpO against well-earned retribution from those effected most by their past actions. So, if you can seriously look at this situation and say "Hey, I agree with what NpO did, I think this cause is worth losing my nation/alliance/bloc for", then bravo, you're well on your way to ZI. But if it isn't worth it, then it's time to discuss leaving this war. With each day comes more future reparations thrust upon your alliances. We, not you, are in this for the long haul. Sure, you can find isolated incidents of BFF nations that suck at war. Hell, I'll admit I'm not the best at it. But overall, our nations were better prepared for this fight than yours. UPN got out of a curbstomp not long ago, so they're off the hook, but the rest of you have absolutely no excuse. Sentinel is nothing but quicksand slowing us down. We will prevail, and it's time to cut your losses and call it a day. Or you can continue to fight and lose your strength and [i]any [/i]prospect of leaving this war without paying reparations for the "glory" of defending Polaris. Either way, we're content to sit here and pound you. We were bored, and my bills were getting too expensive anyway. Edit: Grammother [/quote] 1. Sometimes in wars your plans don't work out. You should know this by now. 2. Its less than a week in for us, stop calling for peace, we've only begun to fight. 3. Its really foolish for an alliance who ghost declared on us to call for reps. Then again I wouldn't expect anything better from you. 4. You do not get to decide why MCXA as at war. MCXA gets to do that, and MCXA is in this war for GDA. 5. An alliance who has had such a pathetic performance as Europa this war, doesn't get to call into question the competence of others. We are many times more competent than you are. 6. Don't complain about your lack of ability to help out other allies. First Europa isn't doing the fighting for BFF, that is all FEAR and NEW who are doing good jobs. Europa could disappear on this front and very few people would even noticed. So, what you're really concerned about is not getting to call your allies in on some one else. However, this was the decision you made when you called in everyone on us. You could have had just INT and DB4d counter MCXA and that would have been enough to change the tides in this front, but you sent everyone at us instead. I'm not complaining, but I'm pointing out that because you sent certain alliances MCXA's way means you can't send them other ways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sang Amurwabhumi Posted December 14, 2011 Report Share Posted December 14, 2011 I respect MCXA decision to defend her friend. I know how it feels to be stick with your friend when you're outnumbered. Personally I never under estimated MCXA fighting abilities, so far you guys fight awesomely well in this war, with a few individual exception. That's why I thought fighting you guys in a friendly duel 1 on 1 w/o any help from any allies is gonna be awesome, not because we wanna who's the best, but because its gonna be fun. Nuff said, we can talk about this in more private channel later I just point out to inconsistency SCY have shown by whining about how you guys were outnumbered in this front. Yes, there is more than winning...so why complaining? Let's enjoy this :beer: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robster83 Posted December 14, 2011 Report Share Posted December 14, 2011 (edited) Everyone still involved in this conversation is doing a disservice to themselves. Knowing both parties pretty well, I know that you are better than this. I do not see a point in carrying it on, all you are doing is wasting your time discussing semantics, and subjective points. We made our position clear, that we are not leaving an ally behind -- BFF made it clear that they are "happy to pound us." Well looks like we are all happy. Furthermore UPN is not claiming that we have a chance of winning the war, however we joined out of loyalty, to our friends. We had several offers to jump ship and allign ourselves with other power spheres, however we are not ones to leave a friend behind when they are in trouble. Why would we back out now? We knew this was coming for months. If our attitude makes us objectively bad BFF... so be it. This applies to Sentinel+Allies as a whole, nobody claimed that we will win this war. People made their intentions clear, that they are defending their allies. tl;dr We did not join to win, we aim to cause an inconvenience. Why continue the redundant discussion? I beg you all, to stop with the trivial !@#$%^&*. Lets just fight it out and enjoy the war. Peace out.
