Ta~ [/quote] I mean, from your own experiences, it shows the best way is to align with certain people you hate at certain times to get rid of others you hate, and then go after the ones you were previously aligned with. It's a fundamentally Hobbesian mode of action. Align with GGA to attack GOONS, and so on. "The enemy of my enemy is my friend" is your mantra and if only the rest of Digiterra would learn it. Instead, opposition is still fragmented. Edited April 22, 2012 by Roquentin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HAIL! o> [/quote] Why do charters need to be long? Honestly, I've never been a legalistic person and I always thought excessive bureaucracy was something that slowed down progress. The theme is pretty cool imo and somewhat analogous: side switching, plans to create new world, etc. xoin has been with me since day one, a true friend. I love your Senjougahara avatar by the way. Also before I get called out on inconsistency: The current issues I have with DH/PB/C&G have been longstanding as you can see in the Rush quote. arexes has always disliked me and Roq-MK relations had been deterioriating prior to the DH war with stuff like "Roquentin: "We can't declare war without a CB. Dr. Ardus Brown: "We don't need a CB where we're going," in the rafael nadal thread where "everything must die" was introduced first.

Azaghul Posted April 22, 2012 Report Share Posted April 22, 2012 [quote name='Roquentin' timestamp='1335043194' post='2956766'] Meh, there's ultimately limited damage someone in the lower gov spots can do even if you have reservations about them. If they mess up, it can be dealt with. Keep in mind, I don't really leave things to chance with alliance functions anyway. edit: Delegation has never been my strong suit, so take that as you will. [/quote] Such a display of confidence in your government. [quote name='Roquentin' timestamp='1335067293' post='2956955'] I think consistency is a virtue and nothing has changed about GOONS since then. "I was against DH before I was pro-DH!"

Monster Posted April 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2012 (edited) I guess I should state it in clear terms: my motivation was always to make Umbrella #1. I think logic pointed it out to you that I did first and foremost what I thought to be best for Umbrella, not MK, or anyone else. The tech importation and fixation on it was because of a desire to gain power and nothing else, really. Not for aesthetics. It was always a core motivation. Hell, same motivation for participation in Bastion and the like. Edited April 22, 2012 by Roquentin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully it doesn't cause you too many tears. [/quote] Well, he had already had a similar position pre-merge. It just wasn't publicized and most of the people he interacted with knew. I realize some people really don't like the guy, but I've never been one to deprive someone of an opportunity if they're willing to stick it out. I have his commitment and if I'm wrong to believe him in that, so be it. I'm still basically the main FA arm just as I was in Umbrella, and outside of this particular medium, I'm a lot more measured in approach. I'm a dick here because being a dick is the norm.
