Depends -- so much of "full retard" is in the eye of the beholder, which begs another question: Do you think NSO will go "full retard" and bring in their entire bloc to defeat Kaskus, thereby setting in motion the implosion of that very bloc?

Asinine rhetorical questions aside, sad to see diplomacy fail so hard here.

72 hours since their last response to us. Not our fault.

Oh no, not putting all the blame on you. This is an epic fail for diplomacy all around. Should a war actually break out over this -- or even merely preparations for war -- the cost will far exceed whatever value you would take out of Unknown Smurf's hide. Or, if Kaskus merely let you take your pound of flesh then immediately build Smurf back up, it would be far cheaper than what potentially lies ahead. Instead, what will likely happen is that two alliances with no history of previous animosity are going to spend untold millions on what amounts to pride.

Which is not always a horrible reason -- pride, and its close relative "the principle of the thing", are factors in most wars. Examined purely as a math problem, however, this war makes zero sense. Which of course both parties know full well going in.

When the only outcome of victory for either side is a pyrrhic one, and both parties know it going in but go in head first anyway -- THAT is a textbook failure in diplomacy.

That said, its only pixels. Enjoy whatever this becomes. o7

Textbook putting too much thought into this.

Sounds dirty, I didn't know NSO was like that.

But hey, seems to me like Smurf craves attention, and he's getting it, NSO gets to declare war on someone, and there is something to read about besides MK's foreign policy everyone already knew about. So everyone is happy. Cheers.

[color=#333333][font='lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif][size=2]You cannot attack Raccon City at this time because their battle odds are at 4% and are not high enough to fight your forces. The government of Raccon City has just been sent into Anarchy due to their lack of security forces. Riots engulf the nation of Raccon City as your soldiers relax and enjoy their victory. Your raiding party has destroyed all defending tanks within Raccon City and destroyed 23.35 technology, 93.40 infrastructure, and $5,000,000.00 money.[/size][/font][/color]
