tamerlane Posted September 22, 2013 Report Share Posted September 22, 2013 I am curious why you have neglected our dear avian brothers of doom and their doomcaves....In fact, this is a frightening trend of hypocrisy that I have noticed among the "do gooders" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

White Chocolate Posted September 22, 2013 Report Share Posted September 22, 2013 (edited) Best of luck to my favorite neutral alliance on Planet Bob! Glad to finally see this. :salute: GOP. Edited September 22, 2013 by White Chocolate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(CCC: This is how you declare a war. Props to GOP for actually posting) We are not declaring war. MQ is not a real alliance. That would be like the United States declaring war on terrorism or silly like that would never happen.....o wait... eDIT: Welcome to the fray, brothers and sister of GOP. It is an honor to fight along side you in this righteous crusade. Edited September 22, 2013 by wes the wise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CubaQuerida Posted September 22, 2013 Report Share Posted September 22, 2013 Respectable decision, best of luck to the GOP. Pre-emptively defending yourself against a war that will come to you sooner or later doesn't forfeit one's Neutrality. Except it absolutely does. Check their charters.

CubaQuerida Posted September 22, 2013 Report Share Posted September 22, 2013 I bet GOP is glad that they have their enemies to interpret their charter for them. #e-lawyering. I've struggled to understand why neutral alliances would play it the way they do, but now that I have a grasp on the concept, I hate seeing it amended to things it can't represent. Why even have a charter if someone is just going to want to reference it? #ignoranceisbliss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devilyn Caster Posted September 22, 2013 Report Share Posted September 22, 2013 I'm actually okay with this. Props to GOP for playing the game, even if it is different than the way most others have played it. Unfortunately, you're gonna get stomped. Forward, my Mushlim brethren! Allarchonu Ackbar!

WarriorConcept Posted September 22, 2013 Report Share Posted September 22, 2013 A refreshing breath of an honest declaration and standing up for one's own ideals through actions and not simply words. Well done, GOP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enderland Posted September 22, 2013 Report Share Posted September 22, 2013 (B.) The GOP reserves the right to defend, by whatever means it chooses, against any actual or perceived attack on the Green Sphere, Neutrality and/or Conservatism as a whole. I suppose this is the part in your charter which allows this. Interesting, I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prodigal Moon Posted September 22, 2013 Report Share Posted September 22, 2013 Must...resist...pointless argument about what neutrality means! Good show, GOP, this is cool to see.

enderland Posted September 22, 2013 Report Share Posted September 22, 2013 Yes. Interesting indeed, "we are neutral except when we don't want to be" If you read their charter that's... about what it seems to say, actually. Not that any alliance since 2007 has cared what their charter says. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarriorConcept Posted September 22, 2013 Report Share Posted September 22, 2013 If you read their charter that's... about what it seems to say, actually.

enderland Posted September 22, 2013 Report Share Posted September 22, 2013 Considering they're declaring now based on their charter, I imagine they do. DTOM is basically an ODP with all other neutral alliances. (I don't really have a problem with this, either, but having a charter which basically says "we reserve the right to defend other alliances whenever we want" makes it hard to really be considered neutral) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dre4mwe4ver Posted September 22, 2013 Report Share Posted September 22, 2013 Good luck, guys! o/ GOPAnd this, very much this: I'd like to thank you for actually posting a DoW. It's a classy thing to do and as a community that runs on annoucements, it's the right thing to do. No one will fault you for standing up for what you believe in.

deviousfairie Posted September 22, 2013 Report Share Posted September 22, 2013 GOP isn't strictly neutral and hasn't claimed to be. They're a "soft neutral" alliance. They reserve the right to defend their ideals while remaining politically neutral. Anyone who is surprised by this only is because they didn't know anything about GOP to begin with. o/ GOP for putting actions behind words Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
