SilentFury Posted July 18, 2009 Report Share Posted July 18, 2009 Why did you have to attack a whole alliance over a few members ? Why couldn't you just ZI the members who asked for it and call it a day ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
infinite desire Posted July 18, 2009 Report Share Posted July 18, 2009 (edited) Care to enlighten me? Athens has been defending the CB ever since it came to light and was pushing wry strongly for war with Menotah, even going so far as to demand that TOOL cancel on them or face war. But then TOOL did something they didn't expect: They called the bluff. And so did TOOL's allies. Only then did Athens see sense. What gives?I'm certainly glad that the coer heads prevailed. But don't use this as an opportunity to harp on how merciful you are. Anyone with the slightest bit of sense is merciful at gunpoint. -Bama lolwut i don't think that is what went down, tho im not as informed but i'll check Edited July 18, 2009 by The Fallen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sal Paradise Posted July 18, 2009 Report Share Posted July 18, 2009 The Emperor is ever merciful. TOOL is suspending its protectorate for 168 hours (layman's terms: a week) Since when is "a week" a layman's term? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

popsumpot Posted July 18, 2009 Report Share Posted July 18, 2009 This is a poor excuse to go to war. You are attacking Menotah because some DE members don't want to merge into your alliance? It looks like you're pushing your new found weight around, and it is a poor show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Londo Mollari Posted July 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 18, 2009 Care to enlighten me?

But don't use this as an opportunity to harp on how merciful you are. Anyone with the slightest bit of sense is merciful at gunpoint. -Bama If by calling our bluff you mean suspending the protectorate of Menotah, then yes. Go back and read the thread. Also, TOOL has been a pleasure to work with throughout this, protectorates should never be used as a shield to hide from justice and TOOL recognizes that. Nor did we, or would we have ever threatened TOOL. Have a nice day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genie Posted July 18, 2009 Report Share Posted July 18, 2009 (edited) Actually, TOOL suspended their protectorate, so no, that's not true. Have a nice day. Well no surprise there. Athens shows it has the moral high ground by setting an example and not attacking. Edited July 18, 2009 by silus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jgoods45 Posted July 18, 2009 Report Share Posted July 18, 2009 Wait, don't tell me: TOOL suspended the treaty on the condition that you let Menotah go. Amirite?-Bama Actually, If this last minute mercy wasn't shown, We would of attacked Menotah at update. Thanks for showing how much you know about the situation.

Archon Posted July 18, 2009 Report Share Posted July 18, 2009 We all know you'd roll them if not for the fact that YOU would get rolled in turn. Nevertheless, congratulations to all parties on achieving peace.-Bama Go for it. See how far you get. Also, Londo had the full ability to roll Menotath if he wished. I know this, because he consulted the collective leaders of C&G on what course of action would be most wise. When I advised him not to go to war, fear of retribution was not one of my considerations.

Monathin Posted July 18, 2009 Report Share Posted July 18, 2009 You good sir, are a master of verbose, witty dialouge, and a great communicator, what unfathomable comprehension for the English language you have. Good luck in your merciful massacre, your charitable crusade, yourdiplomatic destruction of your enemies. May Splash Woman salute you.

Coven Posted July 18, 2009 Report Share Posted July 18, 2009 (edited) My gosh, that OP makes absolutely no sense at all. First "We ride to war", then "We have decided to show mercy", then "death to our enemies - we ride to war". Ffs, make up your minds. ---- That aside though, glad Menotah gets peace.

It looks like you're pushing your new found weight around, and it is a poor show. i'd hate to say re-read. We didn't attack Menotah. we stopped the attack when we decided it would be best not to go to war with them. they learned their lesson and kept their tech (OM NOM NOM, even a 4k nation likes having tech ). im pretty sure it wasnt just those who left DE either.

Weirdgus Posted July 18, 2009 Report Share Posted July 18, 2009 Athens rides to WAR, Declaration on Menotah [...] Go in peace, and do not mistake this show of mercy for weakness or lack of resolve.DEATH TO OUR ENEMIES - WE RIDE TO WAR Ok, that makes no sense whatsoever Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diomede Posted July 18, 2009 Report Share Posted July 18, 2009 Outside of saying Bama isn't as off-base as people might think, I shall bite my tongue and just be glad we have peace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
