Kortal Posted February 22, 2010 Report Share Posted February 22, 2010 Personally, I find this reminiscent of certain older "evil" alliances, whose "evil" practices were supposedly stamped out in that last big war we had. Guess you were just clearing them out so you could be just as "evil" without the competition huh And 40k tech? Really sparta? Legion can barely pay that after the beating they took from you and your attack dogs, these "reparations" just serve to cripple them, out of sheer maliciousness. And why? Because they didn't agree to white peace when they had the chance? So you increase the reps from 0 to 40000 tech just like that? Looks like we'll be needing another Karma war pretty soon to wipe out these new "evil" people Until then Sparta... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pezstar Posted February 22, 2010 Report Share Posted February 22, 2010 (edited) [quote name='lonewolfe2015' date='21 February 2010 - 10:57 PM' timestamp='1266811045' post='2196040'] They arguably entered offensively in support of IRON, arguably because you could e-lawyer it all night. The fact remains that white peace was given if they left when we offered it. The same people such as yourselves cheered for them remaining but didn't realize the repercussions would be reparations to be paid if they left the conflict. We made it clear to them and they understood. When the entire thing was over we did not take reps which were back breaking and set plenty of time for it to be done so they can rebuild. You can disagree, but at least do it with the knowledge now that everyone understood what was at stake for their actions and these reps could have been avoided had Legion desired. [/quote] Yes. It has been established that because someone didn't abandon their allies on the battlefield when you told them to, you feel it necessary to kick them while they're down. Now that IRON has asked some of their allies to peace out, Legion felt it would be ok to take peace. Rather than act with honor and gracious winners, you chose to act like opportunistic vultures. Congratulations, Sparta. I hope 40,000 tech is worth the huge hit to your reputation. It sure as heck would never be worth it to me.

Borimir Resurrected Posted February 22, 2010 Report Share Posted February 22, 2010 I know absolutely nothing about the situation: how much damage each side took, what this supposed "!@#$%^&*" Legion pulled, the previous terms offered, etc. Anyone care to explain exactly why the reps were needed? Congrats on peace though. I know one side at least won't have trouble rebuilding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

logan1 Posted February 22, 2010 Report Share Posted February 22, 2010 as a Spartan general member i am both happy with the terms and the crying from the nations who always supply the tears. (i love the attention, your hatred reminds me that were doin it right) from my understanding, we did offer white peace, when that was declined we offered another set of terms that they accepted. 2 legion members stood out to me in battle as very worthy opponents and possible future friends. id like to thank you 2 for a good war and wish you a swift recovery.

Moridin Posted February 22, 2010 Report Share Posted February 22, 2010 Judging by the fact that white peace (or at least, peace without reparations) was offered earlier, it is clear that the reparations here are not about compensating Sparta for its losses - Sparta almost certainly took more damage from Legion leading up to that point than it has since. So the only conclusion left is that Sparta is punishing Legion for staying in the war, a war they only entered out of loyalty to their allies. It is disheartening then to see that Sparta finds loyalty to one's allies something worthy of punishment. For shame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lincongrad Posted February 22, 2010 Report Share Posted February 22, 2010 (edited) The Legion would like to apologize for the treatment of Sparta in certain instances. These reps reflect that regret. Scold the other alliances asking for reps if you like, but Sparta had every right to demand reparations.

Honestly, I very much doubt you would be so vocal had you not have a personal connection to one of the alliances attached to this announcement. That's fine, most people still hold a fondness for their former alliance. Perhaps you would be so outraged had it been an alliance completely unrelated to you. Either way, I'd appreciate you get your facts right next time. To address some others in here, I personally don't mind taking absorbing hard feelings from you if it's for our allies but I do find it amusing that we are usually the only target, no matter the situation, when our name is in an announcement (sort of like if no one else was involved).

Fernando12 Posted February 22, 2010 Report Share Posted February 22, 2010 I'm not going to read through all the BS. This is not a good peace. Reps are horrible. Sparta, this is a horrible show on your part. Both alliances were wrong in their previous communications. To see this and only out of spite is horrible. Real poor show Sparta.
