If we operate at the most basic surface level, sure, enjoy the rhetorical victory. Maybe y'all should have my gold star for the outrageous success in ground floor views of situations, I wish I was so easily satisfied with myself.

Some of us don't have that luxury but hey, it's a rich man's world. Remember that time you said if you weren't so tired you would have "changed course" on the war but it was too late because you had already given the orders and it was apparently impossible to send follow up or make like an alliance announcement? That was the luxury you had. At the very least you could have brought Kashmir in on their own "defense" instead of them having to go through a regime change and join in support of COBRA a week later, which is by nature of the statement not defensive. But no, snap decisions with no planning are the only option, luxury or not apparently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like how you pull out a two month old log to try and compare your self indulgent rhetorical victory to my repaying a compliment I got about my hat to someone who got the reference on it and provided good service. Why did you even have that saved/remember it enough to go find it? As for the two extremes of snap decision making vs planned responses, sure, I can respect a willingness to assist an ally or friend no questions asked no matter the odds. However I'm also one to realize that that isn't always the solution that provides the best result for said ally or friend. What is better, actually helping someone or hurting them to show your affection? Maybe for Kashmir and COBRA the bond is so tight that getting rolled together because one made a unilateral decision to just makes the bond stronger, in which case you made the call right by them I guess, but I for one strive to achieve the best outcome for my own allies and friends rather than gain immediate gratification.

And maybe we'll see something soon that does in fact benefit our allies who have had a rather fun 6 months of bashing your collective heads in with us. Like you said; it's about the friends you make along the way and I've made a good few friends since coming back and joining the General's merry band of pillagers.

Salmia Posted August 9, 2019 Report Share Posted August 9, 2019 First of all, @James Spanier, that hat of yours is atrocious. But how is complimenting a hat same to blind loyalty? I have been curbstomped many times, and I didn't always agree with it, but no matter what happens, once war starts, you're obligated to honor your treaties unless it is a suicidal way to go out. Also, people complimenting others, recognizing them on a human level that they're human is one of the simplest things anyone can do. A compliment that wasn't needed, it was a simple exchange of human goodwill. The recognition of as we go on in our daily lives, we have intersections and pleasant interactions with others who also share our world. Blind loyalty never helped anyone but if it comes to a fight, I will kick down whoever is hitting my friend and then tell my friend how stupid they are. But only if the fight is in front of me. But to argue that in this day and age that anyone cares about legitimate CBs, well that time and day is far over. P.S. finding random quotes about random things is a very nice ad hominem attack. Maybe actually stick to your points. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly 0 seconds before we defend our allies, that's how we've always done it. My original point being that it took RFI well over 5 months to counter NG (who were openly hostile, if not completely active) and they only did so when Oculus did it.

Lex Quintus Posted August 10, 2019 Report Share Posted August 10, 2019 @James Spanier you seem to be conflating two issues that are unrelated. The peaceful transfer of power is a hallmark of civilized peoples, and in Kashmir's case this was exactly that, neither predicated by nor making more dangerous the...excitement which started around that same time. And with regard to said excitement, you seem to think that a chance to push the red button in defense of homies is somehow to be measured against, I don't know, "consequences." Right is right, and while some here say they all roll together, Kashmir honors its friends and gladly rolls when rolling is called for. Plus I mean after all this stasis, it's been great to get back to the lukz. And we've been having plenty, so thanks for that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
