Ashoka the Great Posted August 8, 2010 Report Share Posted August 8, 2010 I think the NSO will accept and defend a rogue nation that has attacked a Ragnarok protectorate. After that's it's a game of connect the dots. (Assuming NSO's allies actually care about them.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daeryon Posted August 8, 2010 Report Share Posted August 8, 2010 [quote name='Daeryon' timestamp='1280581667' post='2395934'] If I had to guess, I would bet that the next fairly large war will be a curbstomp put on by the powers that be on the first sizable bloc to begin to get to a threatening size. They'll provoke a war on the bloc before they get too big, and knock them back to a completely non-threatening level. [/quote] What do I win?

HHAYD Posted August 9, 2010 Report Share Posted August 9, 2010 As of now, if one of NSO's allies step in, this would set off the treaty web like dominoes and we all know what happens when the treaties are activated left and right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crymson Posted August 9, 2010 Report Share Posted August 9, 2010 [quote name='DougZ37' timestamp='1281225465' post='2404122'] The kettle calls the pot black, or something like that. Crymson we sort of did the same thing when we helped to set up Continuum. What we'll have then is basically the same kind of drab, boring-ness that dominated CN from the BLEU / NoCB war through Karma. [/quote] We signed onto that bloc because we felt we had insufficient protection if Polar and Co---who were openly hostile towards us---decided to make a move against us; we felt that there would be a significant chance of us losing such a war, and Q helped eliminate that possibility. Attaining a *reasonable* amount of safety comes first, of course. However, Q was also a means by which we could accomplish some goals; chief amongst these was the eventual defeat of Polaris. In other words, I don't think your comparison is valid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryan Greenberg Posted August 9, 2010 Report Share Posted August 9, 2010 I think the RoK-NSO War is staying the RoK-NSO War. Even if NSO's allies entered, it wouldn't be much of a match. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] That's obviously circumstantial evidence. Just because he was full of wars on people that RoK protects, and RoK government said not to harbor/aid him, doesn't mean that he was really RoK's enemy! It's just a coincidence. The best plan of action here is to aid the guy anyway, and then act shocked and wonder what you did wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Depends on the situation really, little AA's are often run incompetently. There was recently a situation where our MilCom contacted the gov of a small AA to see if a nation that was causing trouble was a ghost or not. They said it was a ghost, so the nation was cleared for attack and hit a day or so later was hit by one of our nations. Then, 3 members of the alliance that was being ghosted attacked our member. So when some alliances can't even decide if a nation is a member of theirs or not, I find it hard to fault NSO asking for proof, when the information about the attack was coming second-hand through Rag, not from TENE.
