Declaration of War

[Jack Diorno]

If I didn't know better, I'd say you're covering your fine buttox with these insults. It seems that you are slightly butthurt that you allowed A KNOWN ALLIANCE HOPPER into gov and he hopped. Having done the exact same thing previous myself, I can understand now why you post so many insults on these forums. Because you are a much worse person than King Xander, who just deopped me and told me to not suck at life.

Sileath wasn't a known alliance hopper when he applied for Athens, the only knowledge we had of him was my own personal experience of him in NSO. I told Londo he was a hard worker but a complete tool, and he proved me right on both accounts.

This is the first honest post I've seen in 6 pages.

Good work, Jack.

Sileath, babe. My post was completely honest too. I just think you don't like what it says.

I like my duck wild and free in protected wetlands.

I would never lie about my passion for wetlands.

I would never lie about my passion for wetlands.

Just as I would never lie about my love for turducken.

Sileath... I was sitting around when I realized something... with all the talk of you jumping from alliance and you acting out on these things on your own... maybe you don't WANT to join an alliance, maybe you want to START your alliance. Given the amount of media attention you somehow attract to yourself (I think it's the duck), you may have a chance of getting new members even if just for sheer visibility alone. You wouldn't have to make enemies of your old alliances either. Instead of being a part of them, you'd just form MDPs with them instead.

I don't know... it just seemed to be a passing thought to me... No I wouldn't join, you were too good at recruiting and got me involved in the NSO... and now I love them . You didn't do anything personal to me, so I don't see any reason to hate you... though I never really DID figure out what the h**l Sileathenomics was O_o.

You left before his antics really started. What happened was plain ridiculous.

Oh you're just mad because I tried to coup you as head of econ because even though Ivan gave you free tech you were still doing tech deals outside of the alliance

Couping someone for doing out of alliance tech deals, clever plan. And then immediately declaring the standard tech dealing rate to be 3 million for 50 tech. That after I gave you a second chance after the advice of literally every single person I talked to. That is pretty stupid of you, I have to say. Couping the only person in the entire alliance who felt you were fit for any sort position of responsibility.

Go re-read Sileathonomics and you will know why 3 mil for 50 tech works.

lol @ bolded part, is that why I was head of IA for two months?

[Essenia]

lol @ bolded part, is that why I was head of IA for two months?

I wonder why you were couped with the support of most all of the government in favor of someone who had done absolutely no work and continued to do no work when he took your post. Probably not because people thought you were doing a good job.

Also, lol Sileathonomics, ie stealing what Seerow and I did and putting your name and couple bad ideas on it.

It wasn't a coup, it was a challenge. The government who supported the challenge being worthless $@! WarCon and Peace/Trade, as well as RandomInterrupt (not including the Shadow Hands because they're not gov) and the government opposing being the other Sith Lords and IA.

Bolded part: I have no response to your lies, other than to call them lies.

Yay, coup vs. challenge. The main difference is actually that owned-you was successful. As for your insults- yes, the other departments were annoyed by the fact that IA did absolutely nothing useful, aside from preventing us from having access to basic information (oh wait). And it's not like Random was the only Sith Lord opposed to you either.

Bolded part: I have no response to your lies, other than to call them lies.

Because they're true. You took our plan, added useless steps, made it worse, and threw in some RPing for good measure.

You have got to be kidding me. IA was the only department with any accountability (via my awesome weekly IA reports) and was constantly being $@blocked by the other departments from meeting recruiting goals.

You wrote reports about the fact that you did stuff. Wonderful. As for reecruiting goals, here's a hint- getting a bunch of 0 NS nations that won't even tech deal does not help you. Actually sending aid and fighting wars does, and we did that decently enough.

Not my fault they wouldn't tech deal

Also, due to the fact that NSO's recruitment program ran off of parser lists (as opposed to a timeclock) and I was an epic poacher (getting a king of Sparta to join NSO ftw) we had more higher NS nations join than lower NS.

While I was head of IA, I never said that WarCon did a bad job. I just said that you guys were trying to interfere in IA, where you really didn't belong.

We had tons of low NS nations join, they just never did much.

And he lasted all of a month.

We were trying to do simple things, you were $@blocking us. When we ask for a list of programmers and you tell us to file a report that may or not be accepted, we get pissed.
