Announcement From The International

[President S O]

This is quite funny. Congrat's go to R&R.

[berbers]

Sad to see, but honestly after the last war I don't see how this could have survived.

Good luck to both parties.

Sad indeed, I heard your alliance made all the possible to prevent their relationship to not fall apart, but sometimes the fate is unstoppable .

Expected, well surprised it was INT who cancelled. Best of luck to both parties, no doubt this will not be the last time you two meet

Well, I would lie if I said I wasn't sad that the last LEO tie was gone. But it was clear enough from the start of last war this treaty was dead anyway, just a matter of seeing who would pull the trigger first.

So goodbye, aufwiedersehen and doei.

Good luck to Int's membership as a whole. It was a long run, unfortunate it had to end this way.

[Stewie]

Good luck to both the International and RnR.

o7 LEO
o7 FOK

You know us, always following the advice of the peanut gallery.[/quote]

This would explain some of the umm...breath taking decision making skills you've shown in the past.

RnR you're better off. Good luck.

Perhaps you're right. Think you could give us some pointers? We could really use the advice of an award winning problem solver.

This was for the best.

That honor was given to me by people who had the common sense to follow common sense advice. You can't afford my fees.

I will however say this...you're the friend that shouts words of encouragement to a drunken buddy who is about to take on a bigger, stronger man in a fight at the bar, then when your friend is getting his ass handed to him, walks off to order another beer, smirking and joking with others about the fight.

Don't think that people have forgotten what you did. They may not tell how they feel about you to your face, but don't be shocked if some day in that not too distance future you're set up for a fall.

What we didn't do was lead the majority our friends and allies into a foolish beat down for no reason. Most people actually understand that, but you've proven time and time again to be... not like most people, so I guess it's not a shock seeing you here, still angry that you and yours didn't get its way.

Ahh yes, the classic excuse. Which calls to question your judgment, because you maintained a problematic treaty that had the potential to get you and a lot of other people rolled. On the other hand, if you kept the treaty merely to keep up the appearance of a unified Communist front, that would have made more sense, but then it also brings up the question of what other treaties you are maintaining for appearance sake. When I said congratulations to RnR, I meant it.

A variation on the "he's crazy/stupid/probably both" insult so popular on your side of the fence. At least you are predictable.

[quote]I'll be waiting with bells on.[/quote]

No you won't, should Anarchy Inc. engage in a hostile takeover, you'll be calling in every favor anyone ever did for you since you landed on Planet Bob...and you should. Mark your time.

[Comrade Craig]

Stay classy, R&R. You'll always be among my favorite alliances.

Also, don't be afraid to purge the Finns. The hippies might whine, but no one will care.

The treaty wasn't problematic, just the situation. Paint it however you'd like, but looking at the track record of your old alliance, claiming that had the shoe been on your foot anything would have went differently is quite amusing.

And it seems to be especially popular in regards to you specifically. Hmm... coincidence? Probably.

[/quote]

Heh. In case you haven't noticed, your alliance and mine seem to get along pretty well. I don't think Anarchy Inc. as a whole and INT have anything against each other, as we've always maintained quite a friendly relationship with BAPS and Oly. So have fun being a vocal minority among your own ranks, that does ever so much seem to be your forte.

[Lord Boris]

I saw this thread had some ChairmanHal posting going on, so I came in expecting a useless public micturition contest. I saw exactly what I expected.


Best of luck to both parties in their future endeavors.

You've been merged for, what, about three weeks now, and already you're making these ~really subtle~ threats that are in reality somewhat off base with the reality for everyone else? Sure did go to your head quickly.

[Gingervites]

Disappointing to see this treaty cancelled but understandable considering the position you were put in Int. Good luck to both parties in the future.

you mean the alliance your friends in MK were discussing rolling and acknowledged was potentially a major threat on their forums weeks before AI was announced? We'll see if Leet delivers in the next few weeks I suppose. The only positive I see from this is perhaps CnG is actually going to look out for the bloc and not continue to go to bat for DH wars, or at least some in your bloc have figured that out. (I just realized this next war may end up with a Coward's Coalition a la Karma, it would certainly be amusing to watch history repeat itself.)

Curious statement..

Please elaborate, what situation was Int put in?
- We offered to help out if they decided to help LSF.
- We didn't complain about their allies hitting us.
- We didn't complain about them hitting our allies.
- We didn't request their help, we did however state we understood they wouldn't be able to back us up this war (Even though technically we were at war before any other Int ally (apart from LSF of course).

Don't get me wrong, it's not about the cancellation, for me this was inevitable the moment Trotsky tried to manipulate us clumsily into making a decision we had made anyway... But I am curious about what position Int was supposedly put in.

[Taget]

Sad to see. RnR are good folks. I know this must've been a tough decision for Int to make.

[Hereno]

This is all Trotsky's fault. Last night I went to go criticize him for being a dirty, smelly communist, and caught him out at the lake drowning puppies by the dozen. I'm pretty sure he was also smoking methpcpheroinaids cigarettes as well. You know, that new drug that's getting all the kids at the orphanage hooked. Roll INT.
