If you'd like to attempt to justify otherwise, please do so, though I'd recommend you try and use more than one word next time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vorenus Posted December 11, 2012 Report Share Posted December 11, 2012 Argent -signs treaties based on friendships and shared obsessions with cartoon ponies. Gre - inactive, most likely because they're afraid that logging in to pay bills might somehow be immoral. IRON - inevitable. Yeah, we lost out on a lot there. We're so isolated that it's a wonder no one has rolled us yet. As for treatying MK, most AAs were too busy doing what you're doing now...talking tough on the OWF, hating on alliances with actual accomplishments, and pontificating about moralism. I guess TOP has always preferred activity to sitting on our butts whining about other people doing things and crying because the big bad wolfie blah blah blah, you're allied to someone we don't like so you're complete puppets, blah blah blah. Shut up and DO something about it already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote]Of course treaties shouldn't be made soley on friendship but friendship imo is the more important part for signing a treaty with another alliance. And it isn't like Ag and UE were on opposite sides of the web when that treaty was signed, they both fought together against Sparta in the previous war.

I don't know how to tell you this one... Edit: Gingervites: If you truly believe that friendship is more important than political convenience when looking at treaty partners, I won't try and change your opinion, but I sincerely hope that you aren't running Sengoku's foreign affairs. And the Argent-UE treaty is a perfect example of why "Facebook diplomacy" is silly and ineffective. Sure, they both fought Sparta, but that barely means anything when Sparta is fighting 5/6 alliances in a major war. RoK and MK both fought CSN in the Winter War, should they be signing a treaty any time soon? Edited December 11, 2012 by Bob Ilyani Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
