KenMorningstar Posted November 18, 2012 Report Share Posted November 18, 2012 [quote name='Ayatollah Bromeini' timestamp='1353214248' post='3054022'] Marx isn't co-pilot? This is unacceptable. Try again. [/quote] He specifically said "go f@)$ yourself" when we asked him. So it fell to me To me. Also we have a few internal policies about tech raiding we have been discussing. And while we are no longer required by our new charter to back a raider with the full alliance, we leave it up to our members to support each other as needed. We will always support our members raiding. But they now raid at their own risk. This does not mean that an uninvolved GOONS nation is fair game as retaliation. We just will not send alliance pressure on people who counter people raiding or fight back against raiders. Hope that helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shahenshah Posted November 18, 2012 Report Share Posted November 18, 2012 [quote name='Sir Humphrey' timestamp='1353203975' post='3053968'] Does this suggest that GOONS is becoming marginally less oppressive, negligent and/or sadistic?

Rayvon Posted November 18, 2012 Report Share Posted November 18, 2012 [quote name='shahenshah' timestamp='1353235887' post='3054113'] It's a ploy to raid D34th's mind. [/quote] This sounds most plausible haha Otherwise, all they've written is cryptic-like workarounds saying they 'can' continue to do what they're doing now unfettered, but to appease the elawyers are adding [i]softer[/i] and [i]optional sounding words[/i] to the text body.

Sir Humphrey Posted November 18, 2012 Report Share Posted November 18, 2012 (edited) D34th could counter that the old policy was becoming increasingly difficult to enforce anyway due to the changed political dynamics, and ditching it allows GOONS to minimise the risk of being involved in unwanted conflicts Edited November 18, 2012 by Sir Humphrey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sephiroth Posted December 6, 2012 Report Share Posted December 6, 2012 (edited) [quote name='Sardonic' timestamp='1353166191' post='3053710'] [center]Spying is absolutely forbidden in GOONS. Any nation found to be transmitting internal, secure GOONS-related information to any outside influence will be removed from GOONS immediately and placed on the EoG list.[/center] [/quote] So they can still spy on nations outside of GOONS without being put on EoG or is it not so forbidden after all? Regardless without SirWilliam I can only see it going further down hill for you guys, although as long as you remain a useful tech farm you'll at least have some place in the world for as long as they hold power. Almost every nation these days will gladly pay $3m for 50t, but its alliances like GOONS who purposely keep their nations from advancing at any kind of meaningful pace by taking advantage of deals which would more than double their growth to keep their masters satisfied.
