This is certainly a sad declaration. I know quite a few folks in the Viridian Entente, and have fought beside several when we were in another alliance. But, times change :)

Well we have another guy who used to be in Gramlins, too, except he's too big to fight anyone in your alliance :(

Would someone like to explain this 'GGA with spellcheck' business to me?

Also, obligatory taunting about getting someone in range

Wanted to say the same thing. Either that joke was as lame as I thought it was or... nah that's pretty much it.

Pardon my feeble brain, does ex post facto mean something was once legal and now isn't?

Weird DoW. Hope you guys can find it in you to put up a good fight for your closest ally. I get the feeling you don't want to be in this thing at all.

Not exactly but kind of.

Ex post facto action (in the context used here which is based around the legal definition) is when one cites a past event in which their own interest was considered to be resolved as justification for further action in the present, or in a way reviving their once concluded interest for the purpose of further action. Hinges on the view of this mess as two (at least lol) separate conflicts. Polar's withdrawal from the conflict in which NSO is still party too (and note they are the only party left involved from Polar's side) concluded their interest in that war. In their DoW, they cited defense of NSO from their lingering attackers in that said first war as the rationale for declaring war on GOD. Because their interest was concluded, in our opinion, when they declared peace from that war along with everyone else save NSO, their citation of defense from attacks upon an ally still involved in that war can be said to be ex post facto rationale.

Don't get me wrong, we understand that when it boils down to it the matter simply is NSO called for help and they felt obligated to answer which we in no way fault them for, and we also understand how others could see the differential between the conflicts I outlined above differently (lord knows people do), it's just our opinion on the matter.

Did you see our blitz? I mean, it was not our best, but it was pretty solid. We're definitely not half-@&%ing on the war effort.

I think it's fair to say our general opinion was that the original war (\m/-NpO) was fairly juvenile and unnecessary. And, as to our current role in the conflict as it stands, we are more than willing, happy, etcetera to stand next to our brothers in GOD on the battlefield. The intent of our DoW, I believe, was simply to dispel any notion that Viridia has a bone to pick with NpO (outside of their attack on GOD, of course). We're cognizant of the fact that Polaris is in this war to defend an ally - that's why we're here, too.

Essentially, our efforts are not anti-NpO, but rather anti-attacks-on-GOD.
