Rebel Virginia Posted September 22, 2013 Report Share Posted September 22, 2013 Our protectorate is not required to come to our defense, but we are required to come to theirs. Pretty normal for protectorates. I don't think that makes them leeches. Then again, most protectorates are tad bit smaller than 3,000,000 NS.

SirWilliam Posted September 22, 2013 Report Share Posted September 22, 2013 My point was poorly made; for that I apologize. As a bored, card carrying member of the peanut gallery I was only meaning to agree with Bob that GOP's stance and actions don't mesh with their neutral intentions. That and the cut of Rooman's jib reaks too much of one that's taking advantage of a certain relationship. But I suppose that's tangential at best here. Can't find fault with VE supporting it's protectorate. Kudos there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hereno Posted September 22, 2013 Report Share Posted September 22, 2013 Is there a time or size limit to protectorate? Don't even think about it - IRON is too big to be a protectorate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neo Uruk Posted September 22, 2013 Report Share Posted September 22, 2013 Is there a time or size limit to protectorate?There's a time and size to learn how the hell to govern yourselves if you wish to play the game. Aggressive action begets consequences, and VE is supporting aggressive action that was taken under the guise of preventing further aggression.

Omniscient1 Posted September 22, 2013 Report Share Posted September 22, 2013 (edited) So you're a leech. That has to rank lower than a neutral. Edit: nvm saw your second post. Edited September 22, 2013 by Omniscient1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canik Posted September 23, 2013 Report Share Posted September 23, 2013 Four years, over 3 million strong and still a protectorate? Wow, that's like living in your mom's basement when you're 30. Sure, their is nothing legally stopping you but it still isn't quite right. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChairmanHal Posted September 23, 2013 Report Share Posted September 23, 2013 I knew that Valhalla made an excellent choice in deciding to treaty with VE. Best of luck in this endeavor to you and to GOP. Attempts e-lawyer this situation into VE doing something illegitimate are laughable. If MQ is supposed to be a serious alliance, then that means effectively that the MK disbandment was in reality nothing more than a rebranding and dropping of treaties. That some people went to TOP in the process is irrelevant. That also means all the pseudo-Islamic fight to the death "let's have some lulz" roguery on the way out is b.s., not that it wasn't anyway.

The Zigur Posted September 23, 2013 Report Share Posted September 23, 2013 It's basically a protectorate that does nothing to help the protector (aside from residing on the same sphere), so yeah. This could very easily be said about the MK AA. Hows the medicine taste? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neo Uruk Posted September 23, 2013 Report Share Posted September 23, 2013 Was TDO?TDO did not present a threat to MQ. However, MQ did not threaten others or ask their (now former) allies to throw their weight around. This could very easily be said about the MK AA. Hows the medicine taste?MK and TOP/TLR had an immense working relationship, nitwit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canik Posted September 23, 2013 Report Share Posted September 23, 2013 I believe Tywin was talking about Mq claiming MK protection on their alliance page, still - I don't think Mq is as old as GOP was and certainly was not as big. Also, they didn't attack until after MK disbanded, effectively voiding the treaty. Mq may be a lot of things, but right now it's hard to argue that they're a leeching protectorate.

Mogar Posted September 23, 2013 Report Share Posted September 23, 2013 what excellent news to hear, neutrality is something to be defended, if MQ is simply rogues on the way out then in 3 weeks we can begin talking about something else.

Steve Buscemi Posted September 23, 2013 Report Share Posted September 23, 2013 VE, you've always been an honorable alliance and hard fighters so this annoucement doesn't surprise me at all. Way to stick up for your friends. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
