Anyone who automatically assumes anything more than this is really desperate for a reason to justify their hate.

Eurgh, I hate people like that, those who always have to get the last cheap shot in knowing their opponent won't respond. Weak.

Sir for the first time, i agree with you. I hate people who take pot shots then make it look like they "didn't know".

However, i do not know the truth that if this was intentional or not, only Shinra himself does. My opinion is that he probably knew. Plus... all the replies seem to make shinra look like a pretty active poster, i don't think he missed it.

Ok, I learned something today. It seems that there is a 3 hour difference in the times, +3 hours to the forums....

So that was my mistake. I was wrong about the times. Sorry about that RoK and ShinRa

The forum time clock is based on whatever time zone you set it for. The in game clock will always be CST.

Viktor, a O.V. member, was chatting with ShinRa in RoK channel, as they always do as they are old buddies, about the weather when suddenly ShinRa makes a funny remark how he just declared on Viktor's target on Viktors great surprise because the war was declared over.

ShinRa then hastily finishes his attacks and offers peace.

While a posibility, maybe if somebody doesn't automatically assumes that, it could be not that he is desperate to hate but because maybe that scenario isn't so a prior plausible.

Maybe if Viktor and ShinRa were in the same alliance and firing squad or something and were universally known as irc savvy and great buddies which talk all the time,...could make sense but in this case you know,...maybe not first thought on one's mind

Did he let his enemy (ShinRa) know that he was preparing to meet the terms? Did he send ShinRa a PM saying "NPO has surrendered. Don't attack me. I'm decomming my tanks, etc."?

What...? I don't think we were supposed to do that..? I didn't do that for my targets, and they all listened... Plus if Shinra REALLY didn't read his PM, he wouldn't of saw Maelstorm's PM anyways if he had sent it...

I think it was shown that the declaration came hour(s) before the surrender thread was posted. I don't know about RoK, but we started sending out cease and desists about 10 minutes before it was posted. Thus, it is very possible that an order to stop attacks didn't go through by the time he declared.

Anyways, it pretty pointless by now.

Ehm, what? You really are just randomly typing down words as you go, lol.

I really don't know what to make of your posts, they lack any kind of logic or a valid point. They seem to be just words put together that could make a sentence, but the meaning of such randomness in the context of the debate is non existent.

Cant be bothered, overall the situation was addressed nicely thus far.

You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

Cute, you get extra points for the movie reference. If you wanted my attention, you got it.

Otherwise doesn't change a thing or lack of any coherent point relevant to the debate from the fella I was responding to.

For me the issue is dead, if anybody wants to make any more movie references out of the blue for some attention i will not be responding letting the matter rest like that.

Seriously, it's like you're just typing random stuff on your keyboard.

See? That sentence makes complete sense!

You know, next time I'm put on trial I'd actually like for someone to contact me and tell me that people are making judgments about my actions.

First off, I had been planning to make an attack upon Maelstrom Vortex for a few days before now and had been trying to get together a number of RoK nations to make a joint strike against him due to his attacks upon weaker Karma nations, ones he had a major advantage over due to his improvements and air force. I would have had to have ditched a lot of infra and land to get in range so I was somewhat reluctant to make an an attack if others were in range.

I can get screenshots of one or two posts from the RoK forums if you want proof.

On the day I attacked I simply checked MV's nation before I checked my inbox (I was at war with two other nations at the time) and found that he was now within striking range presumably due to aid he had received a few days beforehand, I declared war and made a number of attacks and then checked my inbox to find a message stating that the war was over. I made a peace offer and sending an apology for my attack after the war's end and moved on to the forums.

I’ll admit that there is no love lost between the NPO or I, but I take a dim view of this as Vortex and those stating that this was a simple cheap shot made various estimations and judgments without actually coming to me and asking for the whole truth in this matter. All it would have taken is a simple PM, so I regard this as being little more than a publicity stunt.

Finally, to everyone who has been defending my position on this matter up till now, I thank you. And I owe all of you one.

Didn't it strike you as odd then that he'd disbanded his entire air force; your second air attack on him was unescorted, so you clearly noticed that.

Excuse me? I made two ground attacks and fired one cruise missile at him.

Shinra, ignore Haflinger. He's trying to be funny.

Is this Ragnarok's official policy? :) hehe.

Anyway, I think this issue has been cleared up and nicely proves that not everything is suitable for the OWF. If you take stuff like this to leadership you get a prompt and definitive answer, whereas if you take stuff like this to the OWF you get pages of speculation and name-calling. It's up to you to decide which one you truly desire, but we'll be watching...

Yes, very nice speech.

The reparations to MV's nation - will that be cash or check?

If he wants reparations then he can message me and ask for it himself. It shall include the money taken and the damage done to his infra, but it shall be far less than the 15,000,000 you suggested as I did nowhere near that much damage.

At the most I probably only did 700K overall.

EDIT: This is obviously assuming that the NPO's surrender terms do not prevent me from sending aid anyway.

Sorry, it was just a blind guess what I said.

Would Rok be willing to forego war reparation collection in the amount of the damage done?

Btw, I'm sure it was an accident, just in my personal perception whether it was intentional or not is irrelevant, I think paying reps for the damage done would be fair. Not hating on anyone (for once)
