Personalized written apologies are cool as well.

Oh Grub, you read my mind! Please airmail that to me at:

Mr. Twisted Rebel

47 Old Dominion Road,

Culpeper, Virginia

I hope your alliance will last the five-six days it might take.

[SupremePrince]

I'm not sure his membership got *that* part of the memo. >_>

Or, perhaps even him on a subconscious level.

we are not ignorant. we are very aware of that part of the memo. and i'm sure Grub subconscious is as well. Thanks for the concern though.

[Earogema]

I thought you were smarter than that, let me explain to you how it works:

\m/ has 82 nations, 25 in peace mode and 58 in war mode, 14 of those nations in war mode with 5k NS or lower. So we have 174 possible wars for 125 wars declared, what give us a 79% of efficiency and if we don't count the 14 low NS nations, 132 possible wars for 125 wars declared, what give us 95% of efficiency.

Poison clan has 70 nations, 40 in peace mode(pfff ) and 30 in war mode, you could declare 90 wars and just declared 19, an efficiency of only 21%.

Shame on you.

I stand corrected yet again.

Dammit >_>

[Doitzel]

It wasn't a joke though. ;_;

That makes it even funnier, then!

[ChairmanHal]

This is why I love you so much, Aros. Always on the spot with a good joke to lighten the mood.

I wondered what had become of you...so quiet lately. Enjoy the war from the bleachers, I doubt that I shall see you on any legitimate battlefield.

Shame on you.

I do hate to bicker with my own alliance-mate in public, but peace mode arguments/digs are outrageously silly.

[WarriorConcept]

\m/ has a simple offer of peace on the table, they declined to accept today, the offer does not expire, so it truly does end when they want it to.

Very noble and respectable. I'm glad the option is on the table for when \m/ and PC decide that they feel they've stood up for their ideals long enough. I'm glad they're fighting to prove their point as well, just as you're making a point. So like I said earlier in this thread, hope you all enjoy this war.

...this is also the first huge war I'm missing out on

[Starcraftmazter]

you too can have the exact same peace terms as offered to \m/ whenever you like.

I say, can these be publicly stated?

[Earogema]

That makes it even funnier, then!

Why must you mock me so?

[Brian1]

Poison Clan Enjoy the war

[Doitzel]

Which goes to show you're about as informed as usual.

Unless PC has allies that are willing to come in on an optional aggression clause for this, I don't think you can really classify this as a 'huge war'. And if it does escalate you may yet find a way to weasel yourself in.

I think that might actually be embarrassing for someone.. and kind of kill the Grub is a Tyrant rage buzz etc. If \m/ are happy for them to be posted I will be more than happy to have them subject of public scrutiny

[wild wild west]

\m/ has a simple offer of peace on the table, they declined to accept today, the offer does not expire, so it truly does end when they want it to.

Someone said yesterday... NPO turned into the "New Police Order " and turned \m/ into Rodney King

Cheers PC!

[Merrie Melodies]

I am more than happy to be #4 thanks, #3 is fine too, #2 not really important, #1 never will be important to us. We are big enough targets already without being #1

I think I will like you better at 5 or 6

[ChairmanHal]

It wasn't a joke though. ;_;

You have to understand that Doitzel has his own special way of looking at the world, one in which there is humor where no one else finds it, justification in activities where others find treachery, and a special pseudo-intellectualism that allows him to be above us, yet...beneath any serious consideration by us.

We did? Wrong Order.

It's like there really is no point to this!

Shame on you.

sigh. you aren't even comparing the same things. on one hand you are looking at the percentage of defensive \m/ slots NpO has filled. on the other hand you are looking at the percentage of offensive wars PC has declared. the fact that NpO is unable to fill 100% of \m/'s defensive slots even while outnumbering them by such a vast proportion is shameful, and you know it. Not counting nations because it will make your statistics look better is also intellectually disingenuous.

furthermore, my response was to pezstar's comment on the lackluster nature of our blitz, which my admittedly crude calculations did well enough. Declaring 3 offensive wars per nation is possibly the dumbest strategy of all time, as it disregards staggers as well as the fact that we are likely all going to have 3 defensive wars to manage.

[Trigger]

What is this talk of peace terms I'm hearing about. I'm fairly sure we have not given Polar their surrender terms as of yet. I could be wrong though... dang back room diplomacy.

I think he was just trying to point out Chinatownbus's fuzzy mathematics, which made it look like we weren't attacking at full capacity.

[WarriorConcept]

Unless PC has allies that are willing to come in on an optional aggression clause for this, I don't think you can really classify this as a 'huge war'. And if it does escalate you may yet find a way to weasel yourself in.

If it escalates I still have no reason to join this war. So I'll just enjoy the next best thing and comment

[Derwood1]

I say, can these be publicly stated?

My thoughts exactly to my knowledge and I think I should know no one from Polar has ever contacted anyone at PC about anything.

[Chinatownbus]

I think he was just trying to point out Chinatownbus's fuzzy mathematics, which made it look like we weren't attacking at full capacity.

you aren't. neither are we, but who does?

my fuzzy mathematics were simply a basic rebuttal to pezstar's "lol PC ur blitz sux"

Hey Hal, I bet I can write my name in urine before you can!
