[00:26] <Moo-Cows> soon as they come out of PM and fight [00:27] <WarriorConcept> is that a guarantee? [00:27] <Moo-Cows> they have yet to even fight this war [00:28] <Moo-Cows> all wars have an end [00:28] <Moo-Cows> but first there has to be the fighting part [00:28] <Moo-Cows> not hiding in PM [00:28] <WarriorConcept> They have yet to grow also, but I suppose that's beside the point [00:28] <WarriorConcept> So if I get them to come out and fight they can have peace? [00:28] <Moo-Cows> they chose to do this [00:28] <Moo-Cows> they chose to go into PM rather than fight [00:29] <WarriorConcept> tbh i would too >_> [00:29] <WarriorConcept> No point in putting effort in staying up at update [00:29] <Moo-Cows> then don't !@#$%* they couldn't grow [00:29] <WarriorConcept> when the odds are so stacked [00:29] <WarriorConcept> ;p [00:29] <Moo-Cows> yes, they fight the war will end See FAN, just come out of peace mode and you'll get peace!

Stonewall Jaxon Posted April 10, 2009 Report Share Posted April 10, 2009 Well, I'm sure FAN must be dumb not to take that deal, especially given that once an alliance is promised peace there is no possible way that they can be re-attacked and their nations obliterated.

Captain Flinders Posted April 10, 2009 Report Share Posted April 10, 2009 Correct me if I'm wrong (I very well could be since this is all ancient history to me) but didn't FAN fight when they were declared on? I mean, logistically there must have been a "start" to the fighting when FAN got blitzed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hydro Posted April 10, 2009 Report Share Posted April 10, 2009 Pretty weak imo. Unless Moo-Cow's comes onto these forums himself, makes a thread and puts time constraints on the "period of fighting" as well as clauses stipulating that it would be a white peace with a non-aggression pact of no-less than 6 months, etc. I wouldn't even bother. I imagine the most of a response this will get from FAN is a barely audible fart from the general area of some low-level FAN member. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Choader Posted April 10, 2009 Report Share Posted April 10, 2009 Yes, FAN will come out of peace mode to fight and obtain peace. That's the step right before being GATO'ed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suryanto tan Posted April 10, 2009 Report Share Posted April 10, 2009 FAN is awesome. Sometimes I wonder how an alliance of that size can make herself so fearsome to an alliance tenth times larger, forever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChairmanHal Posted April 10, 2009 Report Share Posted April 10, 2009 Wasn't there fighting before peace-mode? Indeed. Dozens of FAN nations were essentially destroyed in the process. What's left of FAN is a mix of survivors that managed to get to Peace Mode before they were shot (IIRC, under orders), those that managed to fight their to PM, some re-rolls, and a very few new nations that have joined since. There is no logical reason for FAN to do anything else to get peace. NPO long ago made its point. Moo, I have a hell of a lot of respect for you, but there is absolutely no IC reason for this silliness to continue. NPO is making FAN into a bogeyman and giving those that oppose NPO a rally point and argument for resistance to NPO and its allies. Left to its own devices and out from threat of death, FAN would IMHO, slowly fade away. Many of those left only stick around because NPO says they can't.

Kindom of Goon Posted April 10, 2009 Report Share Posted April 10, 2009 I read "they have yet to fight" as "we have yet to ZI the entire alliance out of spite like we did with GATO". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Electron Sponge Posted April 10, 2009 Report Share Posted April 10, 2009 The war, therefore, if we judge it by the standards of previous wars, is merely an imposture. It is like the battles between certain ruminant animals whose horns are set at such an angle that they are incapable of hurting one another. But though it is unreal it is not meaningless. It eats up the surplus of consumable goods, and it helps to preserve the special mental atmosphere that a hierarchical society needs. War, it will be seen, is now a purely internal affair. In the past, the ruling groups of all countries, although they might recognize their common interest and therefore limit the destructiveness of war, did fight against one another, and the victor always plundered the vanquished. In our own day they are not fighting against one another at all. The war is waged by each ruling group against its own subjects, and the object of the war is not to make or prevent conquests of territory, but to keep the structure of society intact. The very word " war ", therefore, has become misleading. It would probably be accurate to say that by becoming continuous war has ceased to exist. The peculiar pressure that it exerted on human beings between the Neolithic Age and the early twentieth century has disappeared and been replaced by something quite different. The effect would be much the same if the three super-states, instead of fighting one another, should agree to live in perpetual peace, each inviolate within its own boundaries. For in that case each would still be a self-contained universe, freed for ever from the sobering influence of external danger. A peace that was truly permanent would be the same as a permanent war. This - although the vast majority of Party members understand it only in a shallower sense - is the inner meaning of the Party slogan : War is peace.

King Xander the Only Posted April 10, 2009 Report Share Posted April 10, 2009 Would be pretty awesome if they got peace, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bkphysics Posted April 10, 2009 Report Share Posted April 10, 2009 Yeah to be honest, FAN is better off staying in peace mode. The whole argument about getting peace if you fight for it is moot as there has been no terms set for duration of the fighting and guarantees on peace afterwards (as pointed out earlier ITT). As Hal points out, not giving FAN peace and moving past this silly charade really only hurts the NPO image IMO, but meh, they never really cared what the public thought of them, or as they say, 'the peanut gallery'.

Venizelos Posted April 10, 2009 Report Share Posted April 10, 2009 going to peace mode to aid in reconstruction after the war is one of the oldest strategies used by any alliance. considering that most of FAN was destroyed, saying that if they leave Peace Mode and fight they will get peace is not a valid point. not to mention that after so much time in peace mode they have certainly lost much more growth than the current NS of their nations. and since when is the defender and loser the one who decides what to do with the war? FAN was forced into peace mode. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrian LaCroix Posted April 10, 2009 Report Share Posted April 10, 2009 I must say that I don't see them getting peace regardless of whether they fight or not, especially not under any sort of terms they would find acceptable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fokker Aeroplanbau Posted April 10, 2009 Report Share Posted April 10, 2009 I was waiting for this quote a mile away; agreed. If I ever get bored with the game, I'm joining FAN - that's the only classy thing to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cobalt Posted April 10, 2009 Report Share Posted April 10, 2009 meh, getting FAN peace, in theory, isn't extremely complicated... just unlikely: if another Continuum alliance signed an MDP with FAN, via article III.G of the Mobius Accords, hostile actions could not occur between NPO and FAN. This could have 2 possible outcomes; either 1) NPO ceases hostilities, or 2) NPO leaves continuum in order to keep fighting FAN. Granted, the above is based on a rather loose interpretation of the Mobius Accords, but given that the scenario is already highly unlikely, i doubt it matters Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ogaden Posted April 10, 2009 Report Share Posted April 10, 2009 (edited) FAN doesn't really want the kind of peace we would offer, what with terms and conditions and such. Unless of course those terms were phrased such as "NPO pays a gazillion dollars in reparations to FAN". Besides, if we made peace with FAN, who would train our alpha and beta battalions? I trust our Emperor to make the right choice. Edited April 10, 2009 by James Dahl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
