Imperial Decree - New Polar


Recommended Posts

You're asking them to surrender and give over their sovereignty wholesale by aligning their techraiding policies to "community standards" which is high-horse speak for "public opinion."

I'd cuss you out, too.

\m/ sort of gave up their leeway to cry about sovereignty when they trampled all over someone else's.

It sure is if I have anything to say about it. I, for one, didn't fight in Karma just to change which Order got to curbstomp any alliance they didn't like.

No, you fought in Karma so that you guys could curbstomp any alliance you didn't like.

Attacking someone does not infringe on their sovereignty; it infringes on their territory. Forcing alliances or rulers to act in a certain way does.

How many alliances have been curbstomped after Karma just out of dislike for them?

Seems like tech raiding is about to go out of style...

No, making terrible decisions while tech raiding is going out of style..oh wait it never was.

If Polar gets its way, then yes, it will. But why should we be held accountable or better yet, at the mercy of what Polaris deems to be "politically correct" ? In essence they are violating every alliance's sovereignty.

Obligatory, do something about it. NpO aren't violating anything anymore than \m/ did. \m/ decided they had the right to attack FoA and did so. Polaris decided that they didn't think that move was acceptable so they attacked \m/. Alliances exercising their own free will and backing up their opinions with force. Kudos to both

And, I'm not in \m/.

This is no longer about \m/; it's about everyone, just as Polaris claims that FOA is about everyone.

If I decide that CoJ needs practice and I direct the Cult to attack a small alliance tomorrow, Polaris is asserting that they may attack me not as an exercise of their right to declare war as they see fit, too, but in order to prevent CoJ from acting in a way they dislike.

How dare you insist they follow their charter! You outrageous fiend.

Why, if they didn't want to adhere to their own vague generalizations, why even include them at all?

They would have been better off not including that section to begin with.

Hey guess what Schatt -- use of force to coerce people out of performing a certain action is an infringement on their sovereignty. Guess what \m/ et al did? Threatened use of force on FOA if they retaliated against those "raiding" them.

You can split hairs all the time. \m/ is reaping the whirlwind. I never thought I'd see you advocating alliances randomly curbstomping other alliances just because they can. Again, I yield back to August 2008.

You guys tried for TPF. That one didn't work out so great.

Try harder Dilber. You may argue Athens was incompetent for that decision to proceed on those logs etc, but they felt it was justified. There was no attempt to roll TPF because they didn't like them, it was because of what Zero Hour told them.

No, we are asking them to follow their own charter that is aligned with the community standards.

"VI. Nation-on-Nation War:

1. \m/ does not promote or encourage single-nation war, but will allow individuals to fight in accordance with the following guidelines..."

We never broke it. A group raid with two friends along for the ride isn't covered in our charter, it's at the discretion of the government.
