With friends like that.... [/quote] Exactly. You took the words right out of my mouth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Levistus Posted July 14, 2010 Report Share Posted July 14, 2010 yep you got us, congrats. We weren't completely sold until Vesalius came in though. Kudos there. Once sold we could only assume CnG and SF were using GOONS to fabricate a summer war. We did really expect no better from GOONS and GOD. We do think that little of you. In our own shoes, we would have started attacking several hours ago, and rather than try to fight on "your" terms, we sent our people into peace mode so as to give ourselves options later on. To do anything different would have been irresponsible. We know you're a dick, Xiph. Everyone knows it. Why should we expect anything different from you. We didn't see it coming from an ally we trusted. Poor show, Vesa. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duncan King Posted July 14, 2010 Report Share Posted July 14, 2010 (edited) I think a lot of us were pretty sure that Valhalla would never spy (they're not that kind of people) and that the GOONS CB on Valhalla was crap but thought that it didn't matter if the CB was real or not, because GOD and GOONS would and could hit Valhalla for no reason at all if their allies let them. Sure, you can laugh all you want that people bought it, but perhaps you should also look at yourselves and how you are perceived by others. If a member of MK government bought the hoax, what does that say about their perception of you?

Graphix Posted July 14, 2010 Report Share Posted July 14, 2010 GOONS weren't quite convincing enough on their own with their vague angry queries adding up to "you know what you did." Vesa definitely sold it. Making a thread here just to say he was canceling on GOD to back us up, yep, he got us. Sure glad we're such good friends.

Fernando12 Posted July 14, 2010 Report Share Posted July 14, 2010 [quote name='Xiphosis' date='13 July 2010 - 11:28 PM' timestamp='1279081689' post='2370331'] [b]Late last night, out of boredom[/b], I asked babyjesus if he thought I could get someone to hit DEFCON 1 or Peace Mode on rumors alone. He wasn't convinced, but I thought about it some more. As most who use IRC are aware of, if there's a rumor, the stuff gets around. Fast. I ran over some potential stories I could tell that people might buy, and mulled it over with Londo and Vesalius to see what we could pull off. We eventually settled on GOD/GOONS rolling Valhalla for spying on GOONS. We knew Valhalla would fall for it because GOD/GOONS are perceived as reckless and the type to use a weak CB. Apparently so, since the CB was entirely fabricated. As was the Kronos/GOD split. [b]Ves and me were laughing our heads off in a channel[/b] while we had that query. The cancelation is fake. The war is fake. To be quite honest, I just wanted to see how gullible the rumor mill really was. Props go out to: [list] [*]GOONS for being good sports [*]Kronos for helping immensely and not stabbing me - without them it would've /never/ worked. [*]All my allies who've been query bombed over this. And their allies. And Pez. Sorry, will you still have my babies? We could make hateful offspring. [*]Everyone who kept this quiet. [*]And Valhalla, who I hope will take this in the spirit it was intended; a joke. [/list] You guys can come out of peace mode now. [/quote] Called it: [url="http://forums.cybernations.net/index.php?showtopic=88988&view=findpost&p=2370259"]SEE HERE[/url] Many others called this nonsense also.
