Umm, what are you talking about?

You MDoAP'd an alliance to get a chance to enter an even war. You tried to [i]bandwagon[/i] on.

History is just that, history. We are judged by our most recent actions and endeavors. I know this better than most.

Just because an alliance has historically been a certain way does not automatically give them a free pass in regards to the judgement and opinions of others when they make a decision to jump in on a war against an alliance that is already outnumbered by a substantial margin.

Of course it is there right to bandwagon, and I can not fault them for it, but call it what it is.

Oh really?

Best of luck to our friends in FAN. Like I told you, we're ready to bandwagon onto a curbstomp then claim that we're great friends, just like you did.

Fixed that for you.

True enough. But don't tell them that, I don't want them pissing their pants when they see real enemy combatants for the first time in 2 years. It would be unbecoming.

Real enemy combatants? Then I don't suppose the folks that kept them in perma-ZI since the Second FAN war were fairies?

Well if beer is out of the question, how about something with 4 wheels?

Congrats on actually doing something FAN. I am a bit disappointed that you decided to just be another bandwagon alliance.

Not sure what that other declaration has to do with anything but okay, have fun.

Thank you Ivan.

Oh hardly. This is a very special bandwagoning. Payback's a !@#$%* eh?

[quote]I thought better of you.[/quote]

Oh well.

[quote]Not sure what that other declaration has to do with anything but okay, have fun.[/quote]

Thank you again. That's why we play the game.

Indeed, we asked FAN to assist us when we were fighting a 10 to 1 war. Amazing.

I fail to understand how that equates to jumping in when the odds are already stacked almost 3 to 1 against IRON.

Can you explain that to me?

When you first said it in our thread, I thought you were just being obtuse. Now I'm convinced that you just don't know what the term means. Band wagoning refers to opportunism and taking advantage of a situation. We attacked as per our Code and Charter. They have both existed since our DoE, months ago, long before this conflict started. FAN is supporting friends, which you would know if you bothered to read/understand the OP.

When an alliance and its allies are already fighting at a near 3 to 1 disadvantage and you insist on declaring war on them anyway because you decide they are a "threat", it is opportunism and taking advantage of a situation. Your code and charter must be an interesting read. If it mentions honor, it certainly doesn't mean what you think it does.

Actually that was when you side was winning. Right after FOK! joined. it was far from 10 to 1, more like slightly in your favour. What would you have called us then?

Wait wait wait wait wait... Isn't there a whole doctrine for bandwagon jumping named after you?

Nope.

I don't need to "prove" my friendship to FAN. My relationship with FAN is between me and the 200 or so members between FAN and Corp. I will go in if FAN gets hit because it's something I have pledged to do, long before this conflict.
