[/quote] I truly do see your point. But, I didn't mean it as a threat at all really. I am by no means going to actively try to oppose Sparta, but I certainly don't want myself allied to anyone close with them, etc. And I know that many others feel the same way.

You know that big run-on sentences that can add more and more parts and try to explain everything until the only thing it does is confuse? Our allies were standing by to defend ever since rumors of this war developed. Look through the war history and you'll see almost every single ally, defensive and ODP, was standing by and eventually assisted us in defense. This includes key names within NOIR as well. Of course our friends saved us; that's what friends do. [b]We could have taken TOOL/Legion/OMFG ourselves while attacking IRON/TOP,[/b] but why deny the assistance of our friends, ready to lock their shields in place with the phalanx, when they ask? With Sparta and her allies working together as a unified front, we cannot be defeated. So I'm sorry we ruined your plan and decided to let our friends come to war with us ;-P Anyway, this was far too long a reply for someone such as The Big Bad, who I have been very unimpressed with anytime I've seen him. [/quote] Wow. The bolded part invalidates everything else you said because it shows a distinct detachment from reality. Sparta showed one of, if not the worst performances and preparedness among mid sized and big alliances involved in the war. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brilliant friends and allies. The beatdown they took + the reparations should convince them to choose their allies more carefully (Hint: Competence is good). If not, well, they probably deserve what they got. [/quote] Ok, to see if I get it straight, people should choose their allies carefully not because they respect them, not because they have a bond, not because they want, but because if those allies have the bad luck of ending on the down side of a war people should expect to pay heavy reparations - and in this case they are heavy, still far from the NPO-heavy type, but heavy regardless - for picking them as allies?

Duncan King Posted February 28, 2010 Report Share Posted February 28, 2010 First, it's nice to see another ally out of this war. Looking at these terms, it appears that although they mistakenly think that they are funny, RIA, LOSS, and LOUD, are actually stand up guys. Sparta, MA, and Nemesis, on the other hand, appear to be requiring reparations from TOOL even though they piled on an already heavily engaged alliance. Oh well.

Seems to me most of your united front is embarrassed by not only your performance in the war but, even more so by your attempt to get massives reps out of the fighting they did to save you. oh I see a united front all right. A united front, bringing together people from both sides of the war, looking at Sparta in disgust. Bravo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can disagree with us, you can hate us, but to say bad things about Spartan performence is just a big lie. It was not casual that our ranking position and our average NS didn't drop as much as the majority of alliances. Even when we are at war with TOP/IRON, which btw I consider good opponents.

I can also say without a doubt every TOOL nation I fought was a half dead slug but I suppose I don't need to constantly remind myself that I'm competent like you apparently need to. You should probably check yourself before making useless shows of bravado.
