Haflinger Posted April 18, 2010 Report Share Posted April 18, 2010 [quote name='magicninja' date='17 April 2010 - 07:25 PM' timestamp='1271546692' post='2264351'] That's the way I've always understood it. GDA shouldn't be tech dealing with [i]either[/i] side in the first place. That makes this announcement completely pointless and is what makes it an obvious PR stunt imo. [/quote] This is, unfortunately, not the past standard. People have been selling tech to alliances at war for years - otherwise the various alliances at war with FAN would have had a hard time buying tech, for example.

shilo Posted April 18, 2010 Report Share Posted April 18, 2010 The standard for years has been to not sell tech to alliances at war - if they are on the losing side of the conflict. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlkAK47_002 Posted April 18, 2010 Report Share Posted April 18, 2010 [quote name='commander thrawn' date='17 April 2010 - 02:44 PM' timestamp='1271529863' post='2264020'] So heres a question, why does a new government absolve an alliance of its past actions? (OOC: Doesn't Obama have to deal with the actions of Bush, Clinton, Reagan etc and the next president will have to deal with the actions of Obama/OOC)Each alliance has a reputation created by its past rulers this reputation may change but with the reputation and name recognition comes a natural judgement including past actions. [/quote] Yes ture, but th only past actions I've seen GDA take were defending allies. People can try to say that the GDA kept NPO propped up for years but come on an alliance that maintained 250 members at average kept a power house like the NPO propped up? Not to mention the GDA was not involved in the NPO-Continuum led curb stomps that took place. They only honor their treaties when the NPO was directly attacked as any alliance would do. But I can say the same about some of your "Karma" buddies that gladly would aggresively activate their treaties and jump on whoever the NPO was fighting. So before accusing the GDA of anything you should have a talk with some of your friends first. The GDA has been allied to the NPO almost dating back to their creation. They were our good friends ( Well not mine but I'm speaking for the allliance as a whole) just as MHA and Gre are or were good friends. And now people are saying it was a crime for GDA to defend their allies just because they were on the other side of the treaty web? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Stupid Posted April 18, 2010 Report Share Posted April 18, 2010 I don't see what all the fuss is about. Gremlins is doing what they think is right now the whole !@#$@#$ world is in arms over it. If they want war, and they have a lot of of right now, who gives a $%&@ what they do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It takes an uninteresting and uninspiring alliance who have never done anything noteworthy to provide moral leadership in this world. Also, I'm proud to announce that my nation's markets remain open to trade with the Gramlins. It's unlikely to happen, I know, but I have no problem with it.

TheSyl Posted April 23, 2010 Report Share Posted April 23, 2010 Just to settle your little "Old GDA" argument, most of the members who took part in the event are no longer in the alliance. Times change. Bringing up history to the ones who aren't even responsible is the reason for the conflicts in the Middle East between the Jews and the Arabs. They hate each other and don't even know why. Do we really need to be as dumb as they are? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
