Groucho Marx Posted June 26, 2009 Report Share Posted June 26, 2009 That word might apply if they had joined another alliance instead of starting their own.They resigned. There's a significant difference. Not really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Flinders Posted June 26, 2009 Report Share Posted June 26, 2009 Not really. Yes really. Defected implies going over to an opposing side/force. They started their own side/force and I cannot imagine them having any opposition to TGE. I can imagine them wanting to simply not be associated with them anymore and I can completely understand that feeling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vijaya Posted June 26, 2009 Report Share Posted June 26, 2009 (edited) Excuse me, Marx, but I believe you are perfectly aware of the situation. As to your issues with semantics, let me clarify something for you: Kingzog and Flinders are absolutely correct, as is to be expected, as to the choice of words; you are not. For the sake of all involved, do not push this any further. Edited June 26, 2009 by Valdemar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reinhard Scheer Posted June 26, 2009 Report Share Posted June 26, 2009 We're getting into verbal word-play here I see But lets see if I can answer some questions as I guess I might be well-placed to do so. So all at once, the Gov. just decided to leave? No Internal strife? No arguing between anybody? From what I am aware, a number of Government Minister's were unhappy at the general direction TGE was taking and felt they had no other recourse but to leave and start afresh. Yes they resigned and that decision was not taken lightly. Each of those who left had put a helluva lot of work into TGE over the months and years and we who remain, remain grateful for their service. But TGE continues and we have responsibility to our members and that is our first priority - people have stepped up and we are progressing along as best we may. Verbal slights against TGE is part of the game and its gratifying that some still care after all this time:) Otherwise, the VC slot isn't filled yet because elections were postponed until Sunday (For those who know our Constitution, they will know what I mean) and to those who posted messages of support, we thank you. We wish those departed members the very best and hope that we can build some bridges in the future. Thanks for your time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam Suttler Posted June 27, 2009 Report Share Posted June 27, 2009 So where is Fred during all this? On an extended leave, no doubt. And they're not being condemned for treason? This is a change! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Augustus Autumn Posted June 27, 2009 Report Share Posted June 27, 2009 This is odd >_> So what really happened here? I suggest you ask questions of the serving Chancellor about a project known as "Mittleuropa". Hate to be the "I told you so" type, but you can't say I didn't warn you. As I recall, your warnings were about former Chancellor Valdemar's objections to policies and how he would either attempt to coopt the direction of the alliance or depart it. Considering the afore-mentioned subject which several people have voiced loud concerns over at various times and which ultimately culminated in the departure of multiple members of government after repeated attempts at change, yes, you did in fact warn The German Empire about this possibility. So where is Fred during all this? On an extended leave, no doubt. And they're not being condemned for treason? This is a change! I'd refer to earlier comments concerning the word "defection" being used incorrectly. Your presumptions concerning the whereabouts of the Emperor are, according to what has been said, correct and his location as this time is appropriate due to year-end celebrations following a momentous acheivement in his life.

Not at all - from what I read you're attempting to imply some sort of plot on the part of Neuva Vida and/or Nordreich in an effort to destabilize The German Empire through some sort of underhanded scheme. If I'm reading you incorrectly please clarify instead of being vague and attempting at supremecy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
