Clumsy Diplomacy Week

[Lezrahi]

Personally, I did not see much truly 'clumsy' diplomacy afoot this week. None more than there is any other week. The only truly notable demonstration of clumsiness this week was Kevanovia's merge offer toward the Guru Order. Though I hold no particular love for either The Legion or the Independent Republicans, their actions essentially amount to treaty cancellations. These happen every week. Every day, rather. The latter's cancellations were notable for being numerous and fragmenting what is commonly referred to as the ex-Hegemony, but it is neither better nor worse than the norm.

...Actually, I suppose it [i]was[/i] better for giving us something to marvel at for a minute or two, but that's beside the point.

Other than that, it has been business as usual.

I would enjoy that alliance.

[Max Power]

As would I.

I'm thinking... MADP with every alliance except one, and not telling the one alliance.

Given the fact you like Justin Beiber...do we care?

[Yevgeni Luchenkov]

Going to cancel a few treaties to amuse people. Then re-sign them the next for more laughs. Repeat.

You'd better, or else I'll get him to write another terrible song. Do you want that on your conscience?

How exactly is ending a treaty a diplomatic blunder? :s

My bad, I was just listing it as a cancellation, that was diplomatic gold.

You really should add GOD and Kronos here.
[/quote]

I agree. I'm disappointed we didn't get a mention.


Anyway, I have a rather outlandish scheme to cause mayhem that I'll probably never even get off the ground.

Oh, so you mean people are starting to stop thinking with their penises and starting to actually try to solve problems maturely and constructively instead of pummeling people they don't like every couple months just so the weaker party knows whose is bigger? Sounds good to me. Not everyone is an unemployed teenage Halo freak that can't get along with others and needs a war every couple months to get their jollies (and no, I'm not suggesting that you are). People who fail or refuse to realize that ruin this place for everyone else.

I can't even begin to describe the issues I have with your baseless generalizations.

In celebration of Clumsy Diplomacy week, I told supercoolyellow that MCXA can cram a bar of soap down its throat. WA thread to follow.

For a minute the passion in your post made me forget you signed a treaty with TPF.

[SWAT128]

Diplomacy is so 2009. It's time everyone stopped trying to solve problems with words and just start nuking the people you have a problem with from the beginning. I think it's time all the FA people got a break.
