Please, when has saying something like this really stopped a hit from a determined enemy? TPF was rolled for thinking of spying six months before. Knights of Ni was rolled for existing in neutrality and not being big enough to back their views up.

Valhalla knows that if someone wants to hit you, they're going to hit you, and nothing you say or do will change that.


You know what's funny? That you think wars only happen when there is a real CB.



Oh get off your high horse. As someone who was MADPed to TPF when that all went down I can conclusively say that Zenith was ready and willing to go in the next day after Athens hit TPF. We knew we wouldn't win, but it was our job. We didn't go in because TPF and the others on our "side" (mostly Liquid Mercury) asked us not to. They wanted to pool our side's resources to ensure that we maximized our effectiveness. I still get angry when I think of what happened to TPF because of this "strategy" but the fact remains that TPF wanted us to hold off and work with their other allies and that's what we did.

So your charges that TPF was "abandoned" are absolute crap and I think you know it, too.

One day I hope to achieve your level of childish name calling.

For now I will keep educating myself.

the very best thing about this sort of thread is the peanut gallery moralizing from the sidelines. I have to say that in any international incident, my first thought is "Quick! What do MCXA think about this? This is [i]vitally important![/i]"

You think so? I prefer it when a member from one of the criticised alliances inevitably swans in post-criticism and issues the same tired one-liners about the peanut gallery in the hope that it'll deflect the attention away from their alliance's dumb antics. [i]"Don't worry chaps, we're getting slagged off, but it's only those little fellows from the peanut gallery, right? Right?!"[/i]

Classic.

This is similar to the kind of stunts old goons pulled and very similar to the kind of things old goons used to say before people got sick of their crap. Well at least they were actually funny.

well, that all depends on what the criticism is, how much there is of it, and where it's coming from. Criticism from people I'm allied to is one thing. Criticism from people connected to the situation is one thing. Criticism from people who have made being irrelevant into an art form is quite another.

Strange that you think this is damage control. Personally, I only just noticed this thread and found the whole thing funny.

Plus, we do everything possible to direct attention [i]towards[/i] our dumb antics, thank you very much.

You mean this was the kind of thing GOONS did and was funny until they directed it at the wrong people, right? The people who got sick of them likely are the same people complaining about this now, and found GOONS funny at first.

so your nation was created 2 months after the Unjust war began. So, like I said:

Some "psychological warfare" for amusement with much weaker unfriendly political entities in a boring season?
Its a harsh world.

Only thing I dont get is that ally alliance of Val taking a part in this stunt. I just do not quite understand their motivation in all this, did they knew they would create monetary damage to Val and stressful moments for them? For what, playign "funzies" (which is a matter of perspective, one mans fun is another mans stress) with obviously unfriendly entities towards their allies? That would count as breaking the spirit of the treaty and friendship, in my book.

But what do I care, its between them. I just do not understand that no name alliance pulling this on Val. I just do not "get them" I suppose they arent that close to Val, to take in consideration their emotional state and not to play with it for sake of some harsh joke.

[Some-Guy]

Yeah, this was pretty stupid.

The level of anticipated humour from the planners this event did not meet expectations on the Lurktopia lol-o-meter.

Sure, sure. In fact they're [b]so[/b] irrelevant that a comment from a peanut gallery member was the first thing you focused on, despite having seven pages of replies (not to mention the actual topic of discussion in the OP) to choose from when forming a reply. You even went as far to say that the moralising of these people was "the very best thing" about this type of thread. Those aren't the words I'd use to generally describe an irrelevance.

So yes, it's damage control, and to say that you do everything to draw attention to your idiocy is plainly false when only moments ago you were attempting to create a 'hey let's all laugh at that crazy peanut gallery' sentiment, and now you are engaging in some pedantic game about nation creation dates. Shouldn't you be talking about your dumb antics?

so you're telling me you went back to the old Invision forums and dug up GOONS threads to read about an alliance that was dead and buried by the time you even signed up for the game?

When? [i]why?[/i]

Face it, alterego, you just got called out for being a poser. You were trying to act like one of these weathered vets who remembers the old days when you're actually just going on the crap other people told you and trying to look like you're worth a damn.

Something that will help you when examining my posts in this sort of thread:

I don't give a crap about politics. I'm basically retired. Thus, I just focus on the things that amuse me. You're ceasing to amuse me at the moment.

[jer]

Then you will cease to focus on my replies, presumably in the same way that you'd ignore the posts of an irrelevant body of commentators.

You think this is news? I have a question for you, why couldnt you think up an original name for your alliance. I see you giving grief to someone for copying a sig when you copied a whole alliance right down to the antics that buried them.

we did. The only words our alliance name has in common with the last SA alliance name are "Goon Order of"

Crappy deflect, by the way. I know the standard response to being called out as a fake is to start attacking, but you'll have to do better than a poorly researched burn on our name.

"Baah, you're just like the old GOONS, who I wasn't around to see and have no real idea about!"

GOONS got rolled for turning their humor against the wrong people, not because all of CN grew weary of them.

For the record I thought they were hilarious even when their humor was focused against my side.
