Rebel Virginia Posted October 12, 2010 Report Share Posted October 12, 2010 [quote name='Beefspari' timestamp='1286905929' post='2482621'] These are all things our enemies are doing, not the other way around. Oh, and demanding unreasonable reps and planting dummy alliances as traps. [/quote] [color="#0000FF"]EoG lists, $90 mil in extortion money for $4.5 mil for aid sent to a rogue... Not to say people should send aid to a rogue, but GOONS is not an alliance that has any room to speak on the subject on "unreasonable reps." You're far from innocent. And do you wish to tell me who any of your critics have curb stomped? I doubt you'll find anyone, valid CB or not. It just hasn't happened. Nor will you find any of your critics raising the bar for what "qualifies" as an alliance in order to justify an increasing lust for blood. Again, that is all on you.[/color] [quote name='potato' timestamp='1286904554' post='2482599'] I also do hope someone forms some sort of opposition to my supposed side. [/quote] [color="#0000FF"]NPO had a similar line, but they never wanted a real opposition, and neither do you and yours. No one wants to give up the kind of power you have. If you want an opposition, give people a reason to oppose you.[/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goldie Posted October 12, 2010 Report Share Posted October 12, 2010 [quote name='Rebel Virginia' timestamp='1286906204' post='2482626'] I'd say the year of stagnation, at the very least, caused by Pandora's very existance will not easily be counteracted by the few months, at the very most, caused by its fall. While the inevitable collapse will be a brief spark, it is a long, long, long way away. I doubt you'll find many who will agree that it is worth months of waiting. No, what we're more likely to have is at least a year of nothingness and political stagnation, with a few curb stomps thrown in here and there, mixed with more nothingness. In other words, a Pax Pandora.[/color] [/quote] Well, pick what you want. Do you want Pandora's Box running around declaring war on people willy nilly CB or not, or do you want to wait for those who oppose us to put something together to attack us? Anyone in power could make things fun, and fast, it would just involve a lot of wars and a lot of angry people. Not what we're all about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote]Really? We're committing PZI, an act none of us have the resources to accomplish, we're requiring 15-20 nations before we recognize an alliance as legitimate? And you think the war against GOONS was going to result in you receiving a curbie? I thought you were bragging you were going to easily win just a few days ago. Or did it just become more convenient for you to play the victim in this context? Poor GOONS, nothing more than a leading member of the most powerful bloc in the world, how terrible life must be for you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] [color="#0000FF"]Alterego does bring up a valid point. Like with the NPO, the deterrents to opposition are great. For many, living under your rule is much preferable than the consequences of trying to free oneself from it. NPO, the largest alliance out there, and the most powerful, was reduced to nothing. It has rebounded only enough to be as relevant as the GPA. Think what that means for the rest of us.[/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Buscemi Posted October 12, 2010 Report Share Posted October 12, 2010 Phewww, we dodged a big one! If UPN had DoW'ed GOONS this bloc would have never happened! I'm so glad we got this passed before war could break out. It would've changed everyone's defense of GOONS. Joking aside, I really like the wording of the chaining clause. Smart move.

TheListener Posted October 12, 2010 Report Share Posted October 12, 2010 Oh great... another bloc that is simply adding to the power of the top. If you wanted to shake things up then why make the SF/CnG side of the web more powerful? sure I guess you guys aren't technically tied to SF/CnG but the treaty web states otherwise, and all this does is simply push the world towards a one sided power with a longer period of peace. Sure I guess peace is good, but all this will do it kill more nations, and cause more nations to start dropping nukes randomly. I honestly wouldn't be very surprised if most of those nukes started dropping on your nations, and I wouldn't be very surprised if more nations started aiding those people dropping the nukes on you. You know, I honestly think it's time for a group like Vox to enter the world scene and start tearing down all the power that this group of power blocs has built. Competition is what makes this game interesting, and it's time that people can stop fearing a curbstomp and time to start fighting some wars.

Gobb Posted October 12, 2010 Report Share Posted October 12, 2010 [quote name='HeroofTime55' timestamp='1286906050' post='2482622'] 'NoCB' is a misnomer, because the main show was the coalition vs. BLEU, not GGA's little side project, which admittedly was stupid. The whole war was renamed post-Karma as a propaganda tool to demonize NPO, to provide a moral contrast to excuse yourselves from the acts which you commit. [/quote] It has always been the NoCB war to those of us who were drawn to the conflict that GGA and Valhalla started. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
