hizzy Posted April 6, 2009 Report Share Posted April 6, 2009 Two PIATs constitute a treaty blitz now? Maybe back in like February '06, but now? That's a bit of a stretch.It's been great getting to know you better, NPO. -Bama Bama, I swear it's like you're baiting me, but instead of flame-bait it's a "how much did Hizzy hear about"-bait.

Twice hardly constitutes a blitz and why is it considered unusual for them to sign them, alliances sign different treaties all the time why should NPO be any different?

Rebel Virginia Posted April 7, 2009 Report Share Posted April 7, 2009 Twice hardly constitutes a blitz and why is it considered unusual for them to sign them, alliances sign different treaties all the time why should NPO be any different? What Sponge is saying is that the NPO has had a long standing policy of not signing PIATs (the one they sided with Gremlins was signed well over a year ago before the formation of the Continuum, and until the recent PIATs with MK and TOOL, they have signed only MDPs or higher). I do believe it is also safe to say that Sponge is also implying that these recent PIATs, which the NPO either changed or broke policy for in order to sign, are due to the nearing war, and signed for strategic value. Either to secure more alliances to their side, or to not fight a particular alliance. All politics really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Electron Sponge Posted April 7, 2009 Report Share Posted April 7, 2009 Twice hardly constitutes a blitz and why is it considered unusual for them to sign them, alliances sign different treaties all the time why should NPO be any different? Because they've previously said they don't sign anything lower than an MDP, the only others they have are ToA's with Gremlins and NADC. No, not a 'blitz' but it is unusual. RV is correct.

Blacky Posted April 7, 2009 Report Share Posted April 7, 2009 TOOL ain't nobody's tool. If they've signed this treaty it's because they see it's relevance to their alliance. Whatever their motive though one thing is for certain, it's based partly if not wholly on strategic alignment for the war on the horizon which is quickly gaining momentum.

Rebel Virginia Posted April 7, 2009 Report Share Posted April 7, 2009 wow alot of jerky post in this thread its a piat get over you ignorant !@#$%^&* I must say I find this to be quite amusing. The only thing I find to be ignorant is to discourage intelligent discussion on world events. As it has been stated, it is highly unusual for the NPO to sign PIATs, and with the rumors going around of a coming war I see nothing wrong with inappropriate about speculation of why certain treaties are now being signed. It certainly is one of the only sources of excitement in this boring world or private channels. The people do want to know things. Plus, you must agree that the speculators do come up with more believable stories than "we're all friends and just want to treaty each other" when it is painfully obvious that we all really do truly hate each other.
