Hobgoblin70 Posted April 27, 2009 Report Share Posted April 27, 2009 A good post and indeed honor > infrastructure. However, loyalty is but one attribute considered honorable. I hope on the "new Bob", an alliance as loyal as you develops a much better class of friend to be loyal to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
necAnt Posted April 27, 2009 Report Share Posted April 27, 2009 When I made Invicta's DoW a few days ago in defense of NPO, I said that there would be no propaganda. And I meant it. All of us in the World of Bob have made our choices. We do what we have to do. I happened to feel that honoring our commitment to a friend superseded any other commitment. But that's an opinion, and others are free to make different judgments based on their particular circumstances and situations. If you ask me, none of us are in a position to judge the choices of others. Tonight, just after 11:00pm, the Order of the Paradox declared war on Invicta and her allies. Now, I may be a fool, but I'm not a DAMNED fool. Heh. I know that even on our best day, when we are not fighting wars on multiple fronts, Invicta is no match militarily for TOP. So, yeah, it looks bad for us. We are now at war with five alliances. But let's face it, this isn't exactly a surprise. Invicta knew how this movie ended when we bought the ticket. Could we have made other choices? Sure. If victory in war was what we wanted, then we could have bailed on our commitments and joined Karma. If safety was our primary goal, we could have stayed neutral. We could have done those things, but we did not. We chose to stand behind our friend. Invicta keeps her promises. No compromises. No gray area. We do what we say we are going to do. If that means we have to march straight into the gates of Hell, then so be it. When this war is over I believe there will be a whole new World of Bob. And I want everyone in that world, no matter what their position in the current war, to know that Invicta is an alliance of honor. An alliance they can trust. An alliance that fights for its friends. I want them to remember that we did not give up, even in the face of overwhelming odds. And if, when the subject comes up, some people say, "Invicta? Yeah, they got beat. But you know, it took FIVE alliances to take them down," then I'd be OK with that too! Invicta has great respect for all of our opponents in this war. We regret that circumstances have brought us to this. Please be aware that we will do our utmost not to make this easy on TOP, or any of our opponents. That includes the use of nuclear weapons. So on to the gates of Hell. Somebody give me the keys! this i can respect, well spoken, good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamacus Posted April 27, 2009 Report Share Posted April 27, 2009 It is indeed honorable that you are willing to die for your friends. It's unfortunate you had such poor taste in friends. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jorost Posted April 27, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2009 (edited) See this doesn't make sense. Being stubborn about something that is wrong is no wonderful feat. Amazing as it may be. You did back them before everyone else got back in that boat, but... that doesn't change the basic fact of WHO it is you are backing up. You chose to ride to the gates of hell w/ P. Fine, your loyalties are known. I still think making a decision against P takes much more bravery. Who has beaten P in war? Nobody, what are you doing.. aligning w/ the people that have never lost and are making at least a fair fight. Not really that hard a choice actually...No disrespect intended but choosing to role w/ P for the millionth time on the time they might actually loose while courageous is not necessarily admirable or smart imho. Who ever said it was a smart decision? Heh. Look, NPO isn't perfect. No one is. And I'm not here to defend their each and every action on each and every thing they've ever done. But they are our allies. Think of it this way: You're out drinking with a buddy. He's had a few too many, and directs a few ill-chosen words at some big, mean-looking biker dude. Or maybe he hits on the dude's girlfriend. Whatever. The point is, no matter HOW it started, you have to have your buddy's back when the big mean biker dude comes at him. What kind of a friend would you be if you didn't? And, not to nitpick, but I've seen the numbers. This doesn't look like a fair fight to me!

Locke Posted April 27, 2009 Report Share Posted April 27, 2009 Did you complain when you were on the winning side?http://cybernations.wikia.com/wiki/War_of_the_Coalition Was I ever on the winning side? No. I've been in Invicta for about 27 days. Before that, I was in Meritokrati, which at least in my ~91 day life here was not engage in any major war. And for the record, pointing out that fact that being on NPO's side is hardly the right choice from a winning standpoint is not "complaining." I, and the rest of Invicta, is fully prepared to be beaten in battle; defeat, however, is something we will not accept. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
