IRON Surrenders unconditionally

[elpadrino]

muahahaha awesome

[the damned]

Poor IRON, You fell victim to two of the classic blunders - The most famous of which is "never get involved in a spam war in RIAsia" - but only slightly less well-known is this:

Never go in against the insane when tech is on the line!


Congrats RIA in your victory as well as your barbaric and harsh terms.

[saxasm]

How can one alliance handle getting such an enormous amount of tech? And how are IRON ever going to pay off their huge reparations?!

[Bob Janova]

IRON showing a sense of humour? You, sir, have crossed the line.

(Also glad that this wasn't what I thought when I clicked the link!)

hahaha

/me contunously laughs*
*me rolls over and continues laughing while holding his stomach*

[Queue1]

I was there. I want 0.001% of that tech

'tis a sad day indeed, that IRON cannot win a SPAM war D:

[Solaris]

As if the whole world just took a collective step towards madness.

I thought this was To Gremlins. I was going to kill every IRON nation single-handedly.

My exact feelings, although add in more anger with IRON

The fact that the satire flew over your head is rather sad in itself. Yes, the process is rather sickening, and it's being mocked openly here. I and others reading this thought that IRON had finally bowed to pressure, but instead they're showing how far [i]you've[/i] fallen. VE has had its own issues with IRON before this, for various reasons, but it's gotten to the point where we're practically cheering for them. I'd say they have much better FA prospects post-war than you guys may have for a long time, even with them under surrender terms.

Oh come on, you shouldn't have explained it now! I was eagerly waiting for more MPK posts regarding the "hypocrisy" of the situation

[Golan 1st]

I cannot say I am happy, but I cannot judge IRON for accepting the unacceptable to stop this atrocity.
Naturally, DAWN is offering its friends in IRON all the help necessary to recover from this struggle.

o/ IRON
RIA

Matthew, get a sense of humour. Pleeease.

[Lucas Perry]

Deceiving but definitely interesting. Good show IRON in paying the reps in such a timely manner.

Sadly, it appears that this is in fact the case.

[Cormalek]

Goddamit. I lost. I lost big.

That will teach me not to start talking on IRC on basis of tile alone
RIA should install a vicemod in IRONs Hyde Park [ooc: spam area].

[size=1]PS.: Is there a doctor here? We badly need a humour transfusion, and 5 units of common sense STAT.[/size]

FFS, NAH. Also, I believe I still have this medal from my IRON days:

Hi Tim,

Remember when people said that the terms were irrelevant and that the process itself was the problem?
Yeah.... that was the basis of the opposition.
[/quote]

You just crack me up


Anyway, congrats to our RIA friends and best of luck to our IRON friends in recovering from this devastating loss

[bcndwilson]

RIA >_>

Next time for sure!

[Coursca]

Ahahaha...I see what you did there...

Good to see IRON's spirits are up despite the madness which still ensues today.

Haflinger, I'll try to make my sarcasm more obvious next time,

[ccabal86]

LOL, I near fell off my chair reading the title.

Good fight RIA

[Deadshot]

While it is sad and disheartening to see RIA require the unconditional surrender of an opponent, I applaud RIA for not dishing out Draconian Terms.

According to the context of that reference, is this the end of RIA? Or Sparta, I guess ....

Seriously though, he's admitted he was being sarcastic. We really need people to put in /sarcasm tags.
