Uralica Posted August 15, 2010 Report Share Posted August 15, 2010 Hey, maybe it's just an example of the genesis of clause-chaining in English. Or maybe it's just lexical ambiguity caused by the multiple meanings of "as." [/linguisticgeekery] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah well. Good luck to both parties. [/quote] Would you prefer us not to sign any treaties at all? The days of there being only 15 alliances and a few MDoAPs are long gone. TOOL is not an alliance that has 15 + MDoAP ties all over the place. We treaty to those we have real friendships with. While I don't think you can have 15 MDoAP partners and be able to hold a close relationship with all of those - that is those alliances' business not TOOL's. It is rather ironic you'd say TOOL is cluttering the treaty web considering you have more treaty partners than TOOL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LittleRena Posted August 15, 2010 Report Share Posted August 15, 2010 Another TOOL announcement that lacks drama?

This treaty has nothing to do with the current war and I am sorry to disappoint you with that. A PIAT is a stepping stone better relations and considering Europa is a white alliance and TOOL has a general pro white sphere FA policy - this encourages that. It'd be foolish to sign a MDoAP or a higher level treaty without getting to know each other first, sometimes it works out and sometimes it doesn't but a PIAT is a way to begin to find out. So your remark really doesn't make sense in relation to this. FYI - TOOL isn't allied to NSO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn't intentionally referencing the current wars, as most of those treaties have been MD/oA/P's that have been ignored. I was just talking about the PIAT in itself.
