Joe Stupid Posted December 20, 2012 Report Share Posted December 20, 2012 MK's foreign policy is simple. Fear. The same reason people won't attack them right now. Someone else needs to do it, and that person is usually MK. Remember how long the build up to Karma was? Because people we in fear of NPO. Same thing now. Otherwise someone would have just signed a few important treaties, then stepped up to the plate. !@#$ i wish this place was more like that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alterego Posted December 20, 2012 Report Share Posted December 20, 2012 [quote name='Azaghul' timestamp='1355969148' post='3066148'] I'm amused at the people who think we are "cowering in fear". We're not stupid enough to start another aggressive war, largely because of the position it would put our allies in, but nor are we afraid of going into a losing one. I can say without a doubt that MK, TOP, Umbrella and others in our sphere are looking forward to a challenging war where all of our tiers get to fight. The prospect of a relatively even war where the odds are slightly against us is the most thrilling and fun prospect we've had since the Bipolar era. No matter how things turn out, we've had plenty of time at the top. The most fun I've had in this world was when we were the underdogs in the noCB and then pre-Karma era. We're not scared of "MKarma". Bring it on. [/quote] Fun? you cried like girls for 2 years after karma because times were "so bad" for you. Now you expect people to believe it was the time of your life. Only a few short months ago was the time of your life too when you jumped a smaller group of alliances for no reason just because you could do it and were guaranteed a comfortable win. Fast forward a couple of months and you guys are repeatedly saying dont give out a CB because we might lose a new war. Regardless of how scared you are and how much bravado MK is shouting out from behind Umbrella its good to know you accept the concept of MKarma, you obviously believe you are as deserving of it as the rest of the free world does.

Cataduanes Posted December 20, 2012 Report Share Posted December 20, 2012 [quote name='Prodigal Moon' timestamp='1355984748' post='3066229'] I blame C&G for sitting right in the middle and threatening to side with whomever's on defense. Get the hell out of the way and let everyone have their war. [/quote]Bribery would help , kidding aside C&G's constituent parts know what they will do in a scenario where the shooting starts and the allies of those constituent parts know that as well, it is not us holding anything up. Perhaps you should be pointing your finger at the leaderships of both sides of the divide. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they wanted a challenge the aggressive Dave war against a smaller mostly isolated enemy never would have happened. They cant even hide behind the lie of being pulled in by their allies because for no reason MK themselves declared war on CSN and a day later for no reason Umbrella declared war on FARK. Then they swan around bemoaning the fact that they are unable to find an even fight. Like I said their claim to fame is an "epic" 2 week war against NPO. That 2 week fisticuffs still makes Azaghul get all misty eyed.

The issue is that its usually the largest nations are the ones who have those 3mill/100t deals from alliances that have it in their best interests to make their largest guys larger.

It reminds me [OOC]of when, as a kid, I got bored of sweeping my opponents in NHL All-Star on my SEGA Game Gear... still wanted to win the series, just wanted a few games 6 and 7 to keep me excited. MK just wants a game 7, like it had against TIFDTT, possibly soon to become just wanting the game 7 more so than even having the locked-up victory.[/OOC] Umbrella had wanted FARK blood at least since the Grudge War but their Sparta and MHA treaties kept them at arm's length. The Sparta cancellation and MHA downgrade allowed them to pursue their goal. It wasn't until those happened that DH could even really think of going after SF/XX. MK's strike on CSN was to make up for the early peace in the Grudge War. Not exactly sure where you're getting this "no reason" stuff from. I've seen [i]better[/i] reasons before, e.g.: TOP/IRON hitting Polar, but there certainly wasn't [i]no[/i] reason.

KemMo Posted December 21, 2012 Report Share Posted December 21, 2012 [quote name='Sardonic' timestamp='1355956477' post='3066019'] Oh please, if you think DR or AI were *that* interested in striking MK, they would have done so when MK was vulnerable during the Dave war, I'm not holding my breath for a cbless strike on MK from DR/AI. It's patently obvious to even the most casual poltiical observes that SF wants to use DR against MK, and to use them return to power. Your sphere has been working on doing this for many months, even scoring a few treaties for your efforts. Spreading your message like iterant preachers, shouting from the mountaintop about the great MK devil. I doubt your shrill voices will find as much purchase as you need though, as time ticks closer to the end, and we have no interest in giving you or anybody allied to you a CB.

Bill Wallace Posted December 21, 2012 Report Share Posted December 21, 2012 I think the people who are waiting for MK to start the next war are looking in the wrong direction. The other side has the momentum right now, but seems to be lacking the motivation at this time. Not sure what you all are waiting for, but time and too much of it can booger up a plan like nothing else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
