Scorn Posted December 6, 2014 Report Share Posted December 6, 2014 This is a formal Declaration of War upon the Doombird Doomcave alliance by Delusions of Grandeur. I have wanted to do this for a long time as your depredations upon both my protectorates have not gone unnoticed. However, I did not want to follow the path of the most illustrious Ubuntu with an open declaration of war without the presence of actual wars. I may only get a single round in this time, but the hostility shall remain until such time as you make amends with both the Mostly Harmless Alliance and the Random Insanity Alliance to their satisfaction.

Mogar Posted December 6, 2014 Report Share Posted December 6, 2014 (edited)  That's a crazy idea  It'd mean actually fighting a real war, so I don't see it happening.

Â I'm not sure you're grasping that RIA offered you terms and you laughed at them, so you elected to remain at war with us, if you did not wish to be at war with us you would not have continued to raid us, especially considering you supposedly don't raid the allies of allies.

CubaQuerida Posted December 6, 2014 Report Share Posted December 6, 2014 It continues to sadden me that you look at it that way Mogar. Â We've established our diplomacy with our friends and nations/alliances that have become our friends. Â Even in the most dire of cases, such as IRON, we both realized the collision course we were on and decided to take the higher path and work things out peacefully. Â It's not a new concept to have friends as allies, and believe me, with all the crap we get tossed at us, you can never have enough friends. Â But you seem to be in the camp of many of our enemies, who choose to look at diplomacy as a 'what can you do to benefit us' instead of seeing them as potential warmates and overall good people to have on your side. Â This explains the perennial fence-sitting by default since it appears your FA is DOA. Â Maybe you could explain how defending my protectorate is going rogue? Am I not allowed to have a protectorate, or am I not allowed to defend them? Strange world we live in when you can't defend a protectorate. I'm all for defending what needs defending.

Mogar Posted December 6, 2014 Report Share Posted December 6, 2014 You attacked us Cuba, not the other way around, if you recall last war I didn't really speak out against you, but the fact you feel you should be allowed to raid RIA and simply walk away just to do it again a few months later, and that we should accept this course of events shows that you do not actually care about friends who can't benefit you.

"You do not actually care about friends who can't benefit you"?? What does that even mean? I cannot force myself to delve for higher meaning in a nonsensical statement like that, because it's null. I like how DBDC is being questioned for not warring enough in multiple current conversations. I've declared more wars personally in the last 365 days than several of involved alliances in this global war. Believe me we war plenty, or we wouldn't be here listening to the whining about how we shouldn't have hit X or Y. Ultimately no one cares. We fight, someone wins someone loses and everyone rebuilds. I'm not going to get swept up over who is getting the better of who, or who is winning or losing. Spending more than five minutes reading this contentless garbage here is loss enough.

You do not war anyone with the ability to actually inflict harm upon your nation, you participate in 3v1s with the three being the top 10 nations in the world and the 1 being at most 1/8th of your nations size, combined around 1/15th of the total NS arrayed against them. Those you are rolling? They care, you might not but you cost people months or years of effort and then pretend as though you are a war machine when the people who are able to harm you you stay away from.

Everyone says the exact same thing.

Yet here we arrive at the most tired argument of the last two years. I've accepted that we will never satisfy our detractors with adequate war. 30k tech and an EMP, shame on us. I am not about to take responsibility for my enemies lack of nation building. You act like it is a coincidence that we find common ground with elite alliances that value tech and growth and community. We shaped this climate for ourselves, we didn't just magically arrive here by pandering to the owf. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
