Scorponok Posted July 17, 2010 Report Share Posted July 17, 2010 I think Legion should just join Red already. Will make better sense then. Good luck to all those involved. May you forge greater relationships in the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thom98 Posted July 17, 2010 Report Share Posted July 17, 2010 I've starting thinking about this, Legion cancels on two long time allies who have gone through struggles together, now because they wish to sign with a new ally who doesn't like their current allies they cancel on long time allies. It makes one wonder who is in need of a new "ally" so badly they want an Alliance that will cancel on two allies to gain a new one. I guess my point is this, if it is done for this reason, how long before something better comes down the road? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One pulls a fast one by refusing to void the cancellation window and then goes ahead and posts the cancellation as "mutually agreed" before the window is up. Whatever.

Monster Posted July 17, 2010 Report Share Posted July 17, 2010 So this is what I don't get: who wants to treaty Legion on the condition they cut ties with BAPS and Valhalla but have no issue with their other treaties?(maybe more cancellations will come) Regardless, good luck to both parties, I guess?

But hey, whatever makes you popular with the crowd that believes in every piece of drivel that lands in their lap, right?

Sal Paradise Posted July 17, 2010 Report Share Posted July 17, 2010 People often say it's never good when treaties are canceled. In my experience, it's almost always good. But in the case of Legion's recent spate of cancellations, it's hard to decide. I hate all alliances involved, so it really is unfortunate that they are no longer tied to each other and now less likely to drag each other into a losing war, and more likely that in some future global war, I may be on the same side as them. So this really is a dark day for Sal Paradise. Sympathy letters can be sent via personal message. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Discussion with the other two triums (the Irish ones that were "asleep" at the time) followed and it was decided that there was no reason not to waive the grace period. As it was obvious that Legion wanted the treaty gone ASAP, we posted. All those who are claiming we did it just to piss them off are wrong. Please don't stop speculating though, it's giving me a good giggle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] this has occured to me also, as i can't piece together a treaty proposal that would demand removal of Val and BAPS and yet be perfectly OK with the other treaties Legion holds. I'm still holding out for a treaty though, it's not as sour as only having incompetence to blame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
