[/quote] You can't stuff an opinion in a line and then call it fact. *Edit: Well, you can but it will shred your credibility and no one will listen to what you say with any seriousness. Also: http://cybernations.wikia.com/wiki/Rogue MK may be good allies in assisting with an attack on their treaty partners, but they are losing legitimacy and face if they don't at least announce a declaration. This slip-up is exactly what half of the planet has been waiting for. More ammo for the propagandists. Anyway, good luck to all parties in getting this sorted out. *Edit: Hat's off to Ejay.

Biazt Posted September 29, 2010 Report Share Posted September 29, 2010 [quote name='TrotskysRevenge' timestamp='1285796708' post='2468752'] I don't necessarily have problem with GOONS (beyond the Red Raiding Safari) but I do have a problem with what you are doing around this 12-man alliance; you could easily have taken them on your own without any outside help. Like NSO did, you should have asked your allies to stay out of it. [/quote] Coming from you especially this is hilarious Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BloodFury Posted September 29, 2010 Report Share Posted September 29, 2010 Even if most of these alliances posted a DoW now, they have already proven that they attacked early without one, which is what got NPO in trouble the last time. So at this point we can look at this two ways, all nations attacking The Ninjas at this point that are not in the GOONS are Rogues and or Ghosts and are subject to the public attacking them as there was no DoW by their respective Governments. If they do post the DoW now, they prove that they made a preemptive attack against a recognized alliance and that they couldn't hold their members to not attack until a proper DoW was posted for the world to see.

[/quote] Here comes the "they aren't an alliance," even though several Goons have already stated we are. Their side is all disorganized; no one knows what they hell their stance is. I find it funny those crying the most right now aren't even the Goons, but rather some of their allies. Ps: This doesn't mean I like you either, Goons. Big stupid meanies.

[/quote] Perhaps you've been asleep for the past several years, but terms like these have evolved to mean something different in the context of international politics than in a dictionary. OOC: Trying to use a real-life English dictionary to define CN terms is absurd. There are a number of terms whose accepted IC definitions that will not appear in a dictionary.
