Please direct me to these statements so I can enhance my knowledge on the subject. [/quote] To be fair, UPN's top 10 are out of range of BAPS entirely, and so they at least are safe.

D34th Posted June 11, 2010 Report Share Posted June 11, 2010 If BAPS want to everyone in their alliance to fight why not to do a 50 vs 50? I fail to see why BAPS is who can decide the rules of this duel, why not an agreement where both side agree with the rules? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jer Posted June 11, 2010 Report Share Posted June 11, 2010 (edited) [quote name='Buds The Man' date='11 June 2010 - 01:49 AM' timestamp='1276217331' post='2332432'] UPN called them out do i need to go find it in the other thread then they tried to set it for minimal damage to themselves after the guantlet was thrown. So please instruct me on basic facts do try to keep up with things. [/quote] They called them out with EXPLICIT TERMS that are more complex than simply 'hurrr fight me hurrr durrr'. I will quote them again, so you do not have to go through the rigmarole of reading another thread. "I would like to propose a small-scale engagement between an alliance that apparently has a lot of hatred to work through and a portion of UPN. ... A one-on-one interaction with even numbers that just might help create a different relation than the one that exists." Gauntlet thrown, with very specific conditions. Conditions which BAPS rejected because they are all real warriors or whatever. Edited June 11, 2010 by Aimee Mann Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is clear to anyone not being deliberately obtuse that UPN possesses an overwhelming advantage in the upper ranks. Whether or not they choose to take it, the challenge, as issued, grants them that advantage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] I don't deny that they have that advantage, but as you say, we don't know whether they were going to use it or not. In my opinion they wouldn't have used it because as you say, there would be no pride in winning with such odds, but that's purely speculation. I guess those details would've been hashed out prior to the duel beginning, if only BAPS had accepted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EgoFreaky Posted June 11, 2010 Report Share Posted June 11, 2010 [quote name='Peggy_Sue' date='10 June 2010 - 11:36 PM' timestamp='1276205800' post='2332121'] A duel is not a rash challenge. Your terms, however, are. Your terms are for a war. Nowhere, in anything I said yesterday or today, will you find any mention of war. DUEL. Your response is over the top and likely written that way knowing it would not be accepted because it wasn't even close to the original proposal's terms. [/quote] Well, that's a theory easily tested. Basically you're saying that BAPS doesn't want to fight you and they propose this knowing you won't accept. You could accept if you are right they have a big problem and probably try to weasel their way out. But then a much more likely theory is that you are trying to get out of this because your earlier statement that you don't want to destroy baps is something you can't follow up on. [quote name='Alterego' date='11 June 2010 - 12:16 AM' timestamp='1276208160' post='2332192'] I think its more a case of wanting to see us both burn. [/quote] No no, it's research. Xiph want's to know if infra is bigger then honor as well as friends. Anyway, in the unlikely event UPN accepts, good luck BAPS (not that you need it) may your nukes be accurate.

Ernesto Che Guevara Posted June 11, 2010 Report Share Posted June 11, 2010 I've got a better idea. UPN and BAPS just declare war on themselves, and whichever side has more winners in the end wins the conflict. The remainder are then tech raided by GOONS.
