Derwood1 Posted June 21, 2012 Report Share Posted June 21, 2012 A little diddy for Sparta as they "ride" to war: [quote]Bravely bold Sir Robin rode forth from Camelot He was not afraid to die, O brave Sir Robin He was not at all afraid to be killed in nasty ways Brave, brave, brave, brave Sir Robin He was not in the least bit scared to be mashed into a pulp Or to have his eyes gouged out and his elbows broken To have his kneecaps split and his body burned away And all his limbs hacked and mangled, brave Sir Robin His head smashed in and his heart cut out And his liver removed and his bowels unplugged And his nostrils raped and his bottom burnt off and his penis... He is brave Sir Robin, Brave Sir Robin who... To fight and............... Brave Sir Robin ran away Bravely, ran away...away... When danger reared its ugly head He bravely turned his tail and fled Yes, brave Sir Robin turned about And gallantly he chickened out Bravely talking to his feet He beat a very brave retreat Bravest of the brave, Sir Robin[/quote] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Attrition and nations begging their leadership to end the war...I came up with VietSuperFriends because it will be basically like VietFan only self imposed. You fungi are lucky no one listens to me or that the opposition is led by stat huggers and cowards. If an entire coalition were on board I would do a VietFungi and just tear you guys down for months even if it meant all coalition nations would be in peace mode and only coming out when it was there turn to fight to keep you well staggered and nuked. I wouldn't be afraid of your 70k+ nations. I would tear all MK nations down to well under 500 tech. MK crushed would be good even though it would lead to an eventual coalition defeat and the sacrifice of the coalition's top tiers. What other option is there? The current war plan sucks and building a bigger coalition to actually win a conventional war is years away if it ever happens at all. No risk, no reward. This no risk business gets them rolled anyway, might as well do something different and effective while you're at it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This no risk business gets them rolled anyway, might as well do something different and effective while you're at it. [/quote] Oh I was just linked to this post. While it does show initiative, it wouldn't actually have worked out the way you think because of a few misconceptions you've made (I don't know if you've had a large nation before so this properly isn't your fault). When large nations get knocked down to ~4k infra they have tiny bills compared to where they used to and their 1B+ warchests can last for months. The people they will be fighting will be 20-30k NS nations who have tiny warchests comparatively. Because of the tech difference, they get slaughtered and tend to turtle, nuking and sending CMs. In the end, the people 'winning' have a worse time of it because they actually have to be active etc. Besides, tearing down MK nations to 500 tech, while it would take well over half a year on some (we have a large number of 10k+ tech nations), wouldn't be that effective. As we've been hearing [i]ad nauseum[/i] on these boards, "mk is a terrible alliance at war who have been propped up by their allies." While it's obviously not true, it does highlight the fact that we do have some rather excellent allies. If you're not attacking them (and remember, you can't because they've hugely dominant right now) then at the end of this war, we'll still be allied to them. In addition to this, we have no incentive to go for peace with your guys. Going "VietSF" or whatever is all very well before the war starts, but it's a two way deal and you have to match us. We've consistently proven that we are probably the most active alliance on the planet (we still regularly have over half the alliance on irc at the same time during war, ~70 which I doubt anyone else could beat by numbers and almost no one could beat by percentage) and we are in a far better position to deal with an extended war than you are because we've had two of them post-karma. So really, any VietSF attempt is futile and fundamentally flawed because you forget that you're dealing with mk who are rather good at this war and politics thing and you clearly aren't (because it appears that no one wants you in their coalition channels).
