First everyone says I have a Londo crush. Now everyone says I have an Archon crush. Can anyone guess who will be the target of my affections next?

And per your request, another sig. Feel free to add your name:

My guess is the New Pacific Order! Based entirely on that I think you might cover the ball.

Also you're way too kind, I wish more people would give us free stuff. More alliances should be like the NPO.

[Sarmatian Empire]

Wow I'm really don't care if it's all true or not(the stuff about VE defending NPO rogues or not blah blah and anything else there might be) this is awesome. One alliance taking public shots at another in a humorous way, we need more of this. Well done NPO

Sir Paul,

I have so enjoyed reading the lies, half lies, innuendoes, and pure unadulterated fabrications, deceptions and duplicities which you vainly attempted to masquerade as witticisms. Sir Paul, you almost made it to the 50% mark. I also noted the enjoyment that your comments elicited from your fans, who I might add collectively have the cerebral capacity of a pile driven fence-post. It find it endlessly entertaining that they mirror your own intellect. So much have I enjoyed your humorless mendacities (especially in regards to the protection which VE and others provided the NPO while it was in lockdown) that I thought I would contribute the following graphical riposte for your personal amusement. It would not be right to not share the enjoyment you have provided me.

Having personally overseen the destruction of, and I assure you, more than [b]two[/b] rogues who attacked your once great alliance, I find it amusing that you have the nerve to post this and we be required to go to you and tell you stories for each rogue so you can add them one by one as if you were not aware of it. Perhaps your military is just in such a state of disarray that they don't have a clue, or perhaps they didn't record anything and thus from your clearly narrow perspective there was no protection.

That aside, I do appreciate the humor, for what it's worth.

Dear Antonio Salovega VI,

I'm glad you enjoyed the 158th edition of the Tabloid Tribune. I'm actually a bit of a collector myself, my rarest item being some version 1.0 Viridian Tech. I bet its value will double when version 3.0 comes out. Do you have any idea when that will happen? Anyway, I always appreciate feedback from a fan.

Best wishes,
Sir Paul

Though it garnered my pity, your trifling attempt to respond make me belly-laugh and trust me on this, I have the belly to do it right. That’s the best you can do? Seriously? Is it? Like your non-existent honor and your veering approach to truth, your repartee is critically lacking. I suspect that this is a function of your barren and infertile imagination as is witnessed by your OP in this thread.

You and your [i]Tabloid Tribune "journalism"[/i] are like a woman drenched from head-to-toe in a vat of male bovine fecal matter. The problem is that if you embrace her, you are covered in the stench of her BS and even if you hose her down first, you discover that the BS was just hiding the fact that the woman is truly, unimaginably uooogly and still stinks. But you probably fail to see that because tellers of tall tales begin by deceiving others, but in the end they deceive only themselves. You may think you are “One Step Ahead of the Truth” but like all liars, equivocators, and others of similar ilk, you are fit only for pity and pointing mirth as you fool nobody. All the fire hoses on Planet Bob cannot cleanse you of the stench of BS nor can it hide your inner Uooogly. So, yes, you have my pity … and also my mirth.

Just to show you that I bear you no ill will, I made you a new header for your little scandal rag. I think you will find it to be a far more accurate portrayal than one in current use.

There is always a very thin line between provocative yet humorous, sharp yet playful poking of fun, and childish insulting.

While this line is subjective and I do not expect everybody to agree here with me-- I think that Sir Paul is within the first category (edging very close to the second at moments, heh) with his sigs, songs, other visual presentations and writing.

The guy that always posts a banner in his posts (I dont get that honestly) I do feel got it right in his first post on this page, to totally ruin it with the second. "New Pathetic Order", "cow fecal matter", calling people that take amusement in Sir Paul's work intellectually limited while sounding very full of it,.... sounds too much childish, not very imaginative, very butt hurt over not much. Funny first sig, very childishly missed second one.

No banner in every post or attempt at wording one's posts so to sound smart--- can hide when someone talks big but turns out to be far below the "low standard" he is calling others to be at. A diplomat, at that even. I suppose Arcades isn't the worst one out there ;D

Thanks Sir Paul. Thread delivered yet again.

I congratulate you! That was intellectual flatulence at its finest. Ummm … what was the term you used … oh yeah … “intellectually limited”. Such an excellent description for someone who calls a male bovine a cow. Put you on a farm and you would probably try to milk the bull. However, perhaps you are right. Maybe I should do as you suggest and take out my really big crayons and dummy-down a response for you and your mental powerhouse comrades.

In the mean time, perhaps Sir Paul and anybody else who fails to understand me should take the dictionary from the display shelf, blow the dust off and look up the offending terms. Just don’t choke in the ensuing dust storm. I would further suggest that they take it slow, one word at a time. Anymore and the stress on them might be debilitating, the poor things. Heaven forbid that Sir Paul and his “intellectually limited” cronies experience such trauma whilst enlarging their vocabulary.

Here is another freebie since my last one was so unappreciated

You know, before the faecal references, the arrogant and repetitive (but certainly varied) lambasting of cranial functions and the colourful imagery serving as a replacement for substance, I would have laughed had anyone told me that Antonio Salovega could act with such a profound lack of maturity.

What makes it worse is that people whose age actually matched that level of maturity would have been able to say "you're a dumb liar" without spending several colourful (or disgusting, depending on perspective) paragraphs of imagery on it. Conciseness is often quite valuable.

I do enjoy your sigs and commentary, but to say that your comments do not reflect upon the Viridians is intellecually dishonest. It is you, Mr Salovega, who is the ambassador from Viridia to the Order. Your actions, more than any other, reflect directly upon the relationship between our two alliances. Just as I do not have the luxury of seperating myself from my government, you do not have the luxury of seperating yourself from your post as representative to the Pacificans. Adding unreadable microtext to the bottom of your missives does not relegate you to 'just another member' or absolve your government from your statments.

Now, I've been trying to understand what, specifically, you seem to object to, since you have yet to address anything in the opening post. The Quotable Karma article has links back to the statements of Archon, the Mushroom Kingdom annexed Vanguard, the Gramlins embassy was closed and they are currently under MK protection from non-engaged forces, and several Karmic nations are still wearing NPO signatures. There was a major mistake in the G15 article, which, with the help of Goldilax and Pacifican Milcom, has been rectified, retracted, and sincerely appologized for, but since it seems you are under orders to undermine any Pacifican-Viridan relations, feel free to continue attacking me instead of my articles. If you wish to discuss the issues, the step forward with some constructive criticism instead of a wheelbarrow full of !@#$.

I was wondering when someone was going to get around to asking me what put the burr under my saddle. It took you long enough. Let’s see if you can be as apologetic as you are outraged. What I object to is you and your lack of honor, integrity, and a distinct lapse in journalistic integrity.

What took Goldielax 17 minutes to identify as “bullcrap”, took you two days to correct and make an apology. I will admit that it was a nicely worded apology. I will also admit that you artfully concealed it. You did not place the apology in context. You buried it at the end of your TL;DR OP where it easily escapes notice. The text of the article reads, “Despite having so many attackers in so many strength bands, the G14 did not hit a single raider.” No in context explanation for the red numeric; it is just red. No in context credit to the VE for their efforts on behalf of the NPO. In spite of your apology, you still left VE branded. You went through the motions without changing the stench of the article’s intent.

Let us press on. In your OP, one of your signatures reads: “I don’t have a brain. Archon thinks for me.” Yet when I portray your comrades in a similar fashion, Branimir whines howls like he is butthurt. So apparently it is permissible if you take pot shots at the “intellectually limited” (Branimir’s choice of words not mine) but not if anybody else does it. Double standards FTW, right?

Evidently, your morality allows you to fabricate potential “evidence” of an intention of one alliance to harm another. In your OP you stated, “In addition, bragging about taking down the number one alliance – twice, indicates a willingness to do it a third time.” Now align that with your response to me: “I'm actually a bit of a collector myself, my rarest item being some version 1.0 Viridian Tech. I bet its value will double when version 3.0 comes out.” Are you concerned that your “odd statement” may be another “that confused some and worried others”? Or are you just hoping that the ol’ double standard will get you off the hook upon which you hung yourself?

I shall paraphrase your own statement: Since you do not allow me the luxury of separating myself from my government, I do not think I shall allow you to have the luxury of separating yourself from your role as a representative of NPO. A humorless phrase of “we run over” the truth, does not absolve you nor does it absolve your government from your statements.

How you rectify your mistakes I leave to you. But I have a suggestion. If I were you I would not irritate me further. Do your job right. Check your facts. If you need to make a retraction, make it in the same venue you made the mistake; don’t bury it. Do not be a hypocrite. Getting incensed at others when they mirror your own actions is fatuitous at best. Your self- justification in your response above is nothing more than perpetuation of Branimir’s intellectual flatulence. An indication of an institutional short-coming perhaps? For heaven’s sake, man up.

I offer the following in the same spirit as theone which inspired it was offered to me:

[IMG]http://i143.photobucket.com/albums/r160/qinqe/VE/AS6NPOwarning.png[/IMG]

Congratulations, you may consider yourself schooled and accountable. Now that school is out, I shall return to my more usual and diplomatic ways of expressing myself.


Enjoying your predictability,
