Rajistani Posted April 21, 2009 Report Share Posted April 21, 2009 This conversation took place minutes ago.This is clearly a PR stunt. Congratulations, you "played" one of our members and offered him free info. This is akin to a sting operation. The Emperor and Government of the New Pacific Order has received no logs from this person, or any person within VE, and if offered them, we would refuse. [00:00] <Moo-Cows> you know as well as I that every alliance accepts information Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cortath Posted April 21, 2009 Report Share Posted April 21, 2009 (edited) You never answered my question. If you hate spies so much, why do you keep ColPanic as a member? After all, he was the one responsible for us receiving screens of your forums, which you say is an unforgivable offense and threat to your alliance security and all that B.S. Your hypocrisy smells like fear. You're trying to distract the issue at present from the ridiculous PR stunt just attempted, but I am kind, and I shall indulge you: The NPO is forgiving. As has been our policy for eons upon eons, despite what the anti-NPO trolls, from the ADN to CATO to ODN to GATO to LUE to Vox to Blackstone from years upon years to the present: we are a forgiving people. If people want to get off our ZI list, they need but ask and our Emperor generally does so. So, my friend, which way would you like it? Would you like us to be the "ebil" NPO that never forgives and keeps a ZI list of hundreds of members? Or would you like us to be forgiving to those who have wronged us and keep our ZI list as it is at present, with very, very few people on it. Is it hypocritical for hypocrisy to smell like fear? Or is hypocrisy supposed to smell like fear? Is that a paradox? Your metaphysical points fascinate me. I smell likes a mixture of rose potpourri and earl grey double bergamot. Is that what fear smells like? Edited April 21, 2009 by Cortath Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xoindotnler Posted April 21, 2009 Report Share Posted April 21, 2009 I just want to know... How much wood would a wood chuck chuck if a wood chuck could chuck wood? Spammy reply is failing to derail and/or spam. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wootmeister Posted April 21, 2009 Report Share Posted April 21, 2009 (edited) Since when is this new? The NPO has used logs from private channels as a reason for war before. I don't understand the outrage now (course if might have to do with rising tensions) when it wasn't around before. I don't condone spying, but I think its well known both sides will at the very least accept information from a third party, they have both demonstrated this. edit so I am clear: This is not news.

Cortath Posted April 21, 2009 Report Share Posted April 21, 2009 I think this is a brilliant sting operation.It highlights the point made on the action of all alliances in relation to the recieving of intel, by Moos. By showing how Moos own alliance entertains, and accepted the information. (you can't deny that, because you need to say no before the link it even shown). Since this point was highlighted, it blatantly shows the problems with the tardy DoW's we've seen in the last 24 hours. I do like the poetry in this thread, Schill's well regarded weakness, became his strongest assest in this task. Because no one else would of tried, in the belief that any NPO member politically aware enough, would accept information like that at this point..... .... Unless of course its the standard practice of all CN alliances? "Moos own alliance [sic]" did not accept information. One member fell prey to a sting operation. One member does not "Moos own alliance [sic]" make. Some of our members don't eat babies (silly vegetarians), but our alliance eats babies. See how that works?

Since when haven't people !@#$%*ed about CB's? The outrage has to do with NPO saying that it is not OK to accept information from third parties (hence the DoW on OV).

Cortath Posted April 21, 2009 Report Share Posted April 21, 2009 Not according to Moo... Yes, it is. I mean, a nuanced explanation of this policy isn't going to work here on the CN forums, as we all know, but I'll try. The NPO does not spy. The NPO does not accept information from other spies. People spy on the NPO. When other people offer information to us with the purpose of catching said spies, we use it. That's what Moo's quote refers to.

Groucho Marx Posted April 21, 2009 Report Share Posted April 21, 2009 As annoying as I find you to be, Schills - Too bad I didn't give the logs to anyone. Also if you note the "Lol, righteo" bit, it's clearly sarcasm. Exactly what OV did. Good job. That was clever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cortath Posted April 21, 2009 Report Share Posted April 21, 2009 I believe only two members of Ordo Verde had logs. Yet, they all die? No. Our terms were that one of them get a single ZI.

One member does not "Moos own alliance [sic]" make.Some of our members don't eat babies (silly vegetarians), but our alliance eats babies. See how that works? Granted, i commited the fallacy of composition there. But then, can you explain to me why the DoW on OV is happening? A member accepted information, and therefore the entire alliance is attacked? Seems NPO/TORN like to use that fallacy aswell. I don't think you can have it both ways. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aloop Posted April 21, 2009 Report Share Posted April 21, 2009 (edited) "Moos own alliance [sic]" did not accept information. One member fell prey to a sting operation. One member does not "Moos own alliance [sic]" make. Wouldn't it be reasonable to say that Ursarker has been rather active on these forums, and aware of the circumstances surrounding NPO's (late) DoW on OV? I'd have to say one active member, who was well aware of the consequences, accepted logs from a private channel. Maybe he hasn't been getting enough babies to eat lately. I hear that a lack of the nutrients found in babies can cause horrible drops in the IQ of Pacificans. Edited April 21, 2009 by Aloop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord of Destruction Posted April 21, 2009 Report Share Posted April 21, 2009 (edited) I believe only two members of Ordo Verde had logs. Yet, they all die? This point has been argued to death in the past. You, as a member of your alliance, support your alliances Government. In the case that they do anything stupid, you are supporting those stupid actions as well. The members of an alliance are responsible for the actions of it's leaders.

But, it wasnt just one member, it was several and they chose to not share the information with others. This was one guy who made a simple mistake and didnt share it.

enderland Posted April 21, 2009 Report Share Posted April 21, 2009 The Emperor and Government of the New Pacific Order has received no logs from this person, or any person within VE, and if offered them, we would refuse. http://forums.cybernations.net/index.php?showtopic=54735 Really? No. Our terms were that one of them get a single ZI. That's even less than what you want! Yet our terms were refused. If terms were that Moo got ZIed for the same offense - would you accept that offer? (note that question is rhetorical and isn't an actual offer in the event that NPO actually would accept that offer) I find it hard to agree that terms were refused when your alliance attacked OV in the middle of negotiations.

Cortath Posted April 21, 2009 Report Share Posted April 21, 2009 I'm sorry, was that the terms that were given while the DoW's started rolling down? They were the terms refused two days. I can't think of any way to make the terms less: no apology, no reparations, nothing punitive. No membership ban. A single round of ZI. What more do these people want than such mild terms?
