astronaut jones Posted July 19, 2009 Report Share Posted July 19, 2009 Exactly which portion of my statement was false?Also, having come from a raiding alliance (come to think of it I've never been in one that wasn't), reputation is a double edged sword. PC's rep (fair or unfair) is one of an alliance that grants its member "wide latitude" in choice of targets. Unless they lifted it.. for a long time now they had limited their members to raiding only unaligned nations, and had actually put raiding on hold for the time being. But, people will disregard facts in order to make their point, so people will chastize them regardless because they don't like them. Maybe a PC ruler called a non PC ruler a poopyhead or something.

President Nevik Posted July 19, 2009 Report Share Posted July 19, 2009 I would not blame Karma for that. It seems unfair to lump all of them under one banner when it's one individual doing something sketchy. I agree with Kryievla on this issue; it is disingenuous to claim that this is supported by the whole of the Karma coalition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But maybe now that the war is winding down, it's business as usual. In case you don't want to click the link or it isn't working at the moment: Yep, business as usual.

Il Impero Romano Posted July 19, 2009 Report Share Posted July 19, 2009 Karma, The bloc you have when you are not having a bloc.This is the problem, trying to find a leader for karma is like trying to nail fog to the wall. There have been many unsatisfactory attempts to answer this question, Who is in karma and who is in charge? This may be hard to believe, but get this: ........every alliance is in charge of themselves. @#$%ing amazing right?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tautology Posted July 19, 2009 Report Share Posted July 19, 2009 I agree with Kryievla on this issue; it is disingenuous to claim that this is supported by the whole of the Karma coalition. "Disingenuous" is a wonderful word but we could also consider these claims duplicitous, perfidious, or even mendacious. However, what I like most about English is how the simplest of words can describe so perfectly. In this case, the word "silly" fits to a T.

potato Posted July 19, 2009 Report Share Posted July 19, 2009 I agree with Kryievla on this issue; it is disingenuous to claim that this is supported by the whole of the Karma coalition. Oh no, it was completely sanctionned by Karma as a whole. In fact, it was Archon's idea. I said it was a better idea to attack someone who had just surrendered but LM reminded us it had already been done so we agreed a protectorate was fine. We plotted it all in #asbadashegemony. Honest.

Yggdrazil Posted July 20, 2009 Report Share Posted July 20, 2009 People who do something bad ever seems to be, thats the real beauty of your bloc. You can be Karma one day when doing something good and not Karma the next when doing something bad. If you guys actually posted a list of who was in Karma in the first place we wouldnt be talking about this now. You could have done it anytime over the last few months and stopped this kind of speculation, but you benefit too much from the anonymity of the Karma veil. He has a point.Karma members will say that Karma granted the most "white peace" in planet Bob"s history even if their alliance has not, yet something bad goes down Karma related it's a ophan.

You decided to leave out a large portion of the truth though, so I added in. Lest people get mislead by your post, which I'm sure wasn't the plan.
