KagetheSecond Posted June 10, 2010 Report Share Posted June 10, 2010 BAPS is a very good fighting alliance. UPN needs to surprise a lot of people if they have a shot at this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MCRABT Posted June 10, 2010 Report Share Posted June 10, 2010 [quote name='Peggy_Sue' date='10 June 2010 - 10:00 PM' timestamp='1276203636' post='2332047'] Interesting, and thank you for the response, Lukemos. 1. 100% of both alliances member nations must be in war mode for the entire duration of the exercise. [color="#ff0000"]This will never happen for UPN. But it could happen for a given number of UPN nations.[/color] 2. All of BAPS v All of UPN [color="#ff0000"]No. I have no desire to smash all of BAPS. I do, however want to set a specific number of nations. UPN will not engage in a duel with an alliance with about 1/8 the members.[/color] [color="#ff0000"]How about 20 vs 20?[/color] 3. Full Nuclear Apocalypse 4. No outside aid or intervention 5. No treaties triggered 6. No Ghosts 7. War to last 30 days or can be curtailed with mutual agreement prior to the 30 days being up. [color="#ff0000"]A war cycle is plenty.[/color] 8. Commence 1st July 9. The terms of this are fair and not up for negotiation, take it or leave it. UPN has a policy of protecting caspers (friendly ghosts) ... while we protect them we do not give them orders that they must be in war or peace mode. It is not possible for 100% of UPN to be in war mode and I think you knew that when you proposed that term. It is not my desire to send even 1/4th of UPN into a duel with BAPS. The entire alliance participating does not equal a duel. A duel is typically a gentlemen's agreement wherein both parties use the same weapon(s). A duel would also have the same numbers on each side. [/quote] A duel is nothing more than a pre-arranged fight between two persons or groups, normally to settle a point of honour or contention, fairness has absolutely nothing to do with the battle if the term wasn't already pre-agreed in the arrangement. Using your policy of protecting your ghosts to whimper out of this is comical. Grow some stones and put your money where your mouth is, what are you so worried about? BAPS I love you.

[/quote] Ah, I know the onlookers will place their own take on the meaning of this proposal but the facts are that I proposed a duel, not a war. I proposed it to get BAPS and UPN on to something that is current and not ancient history. I know BAPS hates UPN but I do not hate BAPS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

atlashill Posted June 10, 2010 Report Share Posted June 10, 2010 As a concerned friend of both alliances, I am dismayed by these developments. A nuclear barrage from both sides will do no one any favours, and will certainly hurt the vast majority of Purple. We're not just talking about using nukes to settle a grudge between the flag alliance of Pegasus and one of Purple's most populous alliances. We're talking about stunting the growth of hundreds of Purple nations. Let's be sensible about this. If BAPS wants to be the champion of Purple Unity, they should scale their proposals back.
