Elric Posted April 22, 2009 Report Share Posted April 22, 2009 TORN is a group of bloodthirsty warriors. They did not bow out of this conflict because they were afraid to lose pixels. I think this was a difficult announcement for bigwoody to make, but he has made a great move for TORN. What else can you ask for in an alliance leader? I respect what you have done, bigwoody. And even though TORN is full of war-mongers [], it is also filled with intelligent nation leaders who have honor. I am guessing that as an alliance they reflected on their course of action and felt like it was a mistake. In my opinion, both sides likely contributed to the deterioration in the relationship between OV and TORN. I hope that in the future that both alliances can regain some of the friendship that they once shared. I think TORN's treaty cancelation is one of the best political moves that it could have made. I am sorry that it took a knife in your back to get you to where you stand today. Even though we are on opposite sides of this conflict, I can empathize as to how it must have felt to honor a treaty just to be thrown under the bus. I am proud to be a member of Ordo Verde again. And I am proud that our leadership has been gracious to TORN just as TORN has been gracious to others, such as STA, in the past. Finally, I want to thank Archon for being...Archon. You are a credit to your alliance. Congratulations on your peace and revel in the dancing flames that cast unfortunate shadows upon the thirty gleaming pieces of silver. This is truly one of the most disgusting analogies that I have ever read. And really, that is saying something. Guess we will fight your war for you TORN. Have fun in the future. Sad. Pathetic. And I am really not saying anything that everybody else doesn't recognize. I hope you have the good sense to be embarrassed by that comment one day. You hope against hope kingzog.

Mandrivia_2 Posted April 22, 2009 Report Share Posted April 22, 2009 Nice to see peace for OV, but it's pretty obvious you're sorry and all that because you're facing insurmountable odds. Not so arrogant now, eh TORN? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hob Dobson Posted April 22, 2009 Report Share Posted April 22, 2009 If NPO didn't do that ceasefire thing, would you still be in this war? I believe they would have fought for the people they thought were their friends and allies, to the end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Rockatansky Posted April 22, 2009 Report Share Posted April 22, 2009 Real classy TORN. I mean that. The measure of a man is admitting mistakes and I respect that. I hope the Metal Gods will walk beside you and bless your journey. [No this isn't sarcasm] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drostan Posted April 22, 2009 Report Share Posted April 22, 2009 It takes guts to admit when you're heading down the wrong path... and wisdom to turn around even though you've come this far. Best of luck to you guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PHD Posted April 22, 2009 Report Share Posted April 22, 2009 As Ben mentioned earlier bigwoody - your apology is very much accepted. TORN continues to have some of the finest members - such as yourself, Ceasar etc. and while we were surprised at the tone of the original announcement you have certainly made amends. We wish you the best all your future dealings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crohl Posted April 22, 2009 Report Share Posted April 22, 2009 Your dead TORN. They'll come for you, and when they do I will do everything in my power to help see you fall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jgoods45 Posted April 22, 2009 Report Share Posted April 22, 2009 Good to see guys, I have always respected TORN since they zied me a year or so ago when I was a newb and spied on one of their nations. :lol: We all make mistakes once in awhile,and its refreshing to see people try and fix em. o/TORN o/Archon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mongol Federation Posted April 22, 2009 Report Share Posted April 22, 2009 Your dead TORN.They'll come for you, and when they do I will do everything in my power to help see you fall. This coming from an alliance on it's way to ZI and likely disbandment? When you throw your friends under the bus, this is what happens. That said, everyone that ran away from treaty obligations with THORN and the NPO are just as dishonorable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King Aldarich Posted April 22, 2009 Report Share Posted April 22, 2009 So you declare war, realise you're going to be beaten and therefore pull out and cancel your treaty with NPO as well? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
