Matthew Conrad Posted July 3, 2009 Report Share Posted July 3, 2009 What possessed NSO into thinking this was an ok thing to do? I found myself asking the same question. Bullying neutrals? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corinan Posted July 3, 2009 Report Share Posted July 3, 2009 Your alliance has shown resolve, I am impressed. It is my hope that one day GOP will embrace their passion. Peace is a lie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Merrie Melodies Posted July 3, 2009 Report Share Posted July 3, 2009 my guess? testing boundaries. It's a bunch of old PB veterans in a new alliance in a new landscape. What better time to test boundaries and to find out what other people are going to do when they start pushing buttons and all that?I don't blame em for it, I mean, if I had the clout and if I had the reputation that some of their leaders did, and if I could force out apologies I didn't mean (if I apologized at all, really), then I'd do the same thing. And yes, I'm saying that apology was forced and they didn't mean a word of it. They're sith, afterall. I mean. I can see that from space. The Dark Side is strong in this one.

Merrie Melodies Posted July 3, 2009 Report Share Posted July 3, 2009 What's funny is that you think you "won," but you really just told them "go ahead and recruit our members whenever.":\ Damn you ender land! Go away! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bernkastel Posted July 3, 2009 Report Share Posted July 3, 2009 I found myself asking the same question. Bullying neutrals? It's not all that surprising... I mean, at least we avoided Woodstock Massacre 2.0. Bullying neutrals AND blatantly recruiting from another alliance is pretty low... but this is NSO, so I have come to expect that from Mr.Moldavi and his cronies.

Merrie Melodies Posted July 3, 2009 Report Share Posted July 3, 2009 wtf was nso thinking? getting bored and just want to pick a fight or what? We don't pick fights, we attack. We don't worm about with nonsense about screen shots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thistledown Posted July 3, 2009 Report Share Posted July 3, 2009 So they insulted you and your alliance, in such an in-your-face way that this couldn't possibly have escaped your attention, clearly daring you to do something, but they said it was a terrible, terrible mistake and so they're a bunch of "stand-up guys"? I must be missing something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merrie Melodies Posted July 3, 2009 Report Share Posted July 3, 2009 I hope you didn't say that with a straight face. Why don't you point out this so called "bullying" I am sure you have logs and such to back it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

enderland Posted July 3, 2009 Report Share Posted July 3, 2009 Damn you ender land! Go away! I think it's pretty clear what the overall objective here was, and it is just as clear that it has been met (at least with one of the alliances). This situation is win-win for NSO. They send recruitment messages to alliances not attached with allies and likely also not coordinated enough to put up strong resistance. Those alliances either 1) do nothing 2) declare war giving NSO war and not have to "fire the first shot" therefore enacting defensive treaties It seems GOP chose option 1.

Doitzel Posted July 3, 2009 Report Share Posted July 3, 2009 Leave the trend-bucking to the professionals, Sith. Too weak-willed to resist the Dark Side, too weak-willed to stand up for your principles (no matter how twisted they've become). Be careful of displaying that weakness, I hear your underlings may not tolerate it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fallen Fool Posted July 3, 2009 Report Share Posted July 3, 2009 This was an interesting situation to comeback to after a brief absence. I am certainly interested to see what is cooked up during my next absence Sileath came back to to NSO?

enderland Posted July 3, 2009 Report Share Posted July 3, 2009 There was an objective here? oh come on you can't except me to believe that intentionally making an effort to poach from four different alliance, by members of the gov, was just done for !@#$% and giggles.

Fallen Fool Posted July 3, 2009 Report Share Posted July 3, 2009 Does the screenshot in the OP calling them pathetic and urging them to defect count?Was there a threat of force? No.Was there a use of psychological terror? No. So bullying? No. It was members of the NSO PMing them, telling them that their chosen ideology was weak and would not stand up to the test of a challenge. The result was that the NSOs members were proven wrong. The neutrals had some semblance of a spine. Props to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
