The alliance is disbanded. [b]I fail to see what is to be gained from imposing terms on a now dead alliance. Not a precedent I'm overly fond of.[/b] In the past, when alliances such as the NAAC, or CDS, etc. disbanded the nations that remained were allowed to go in peace, without being pursued. The only exception was when CIS disbanded and the NPO still followed their members, which is more or less what GOONS is doing here unless they are paid off. Don't get me wrong. I am aware that FnKa is fine with it this. I doubt they're particularly enthused to be paying GOONS money, but it is something they're willing to do in order to get peace. I can't blame them, and I'd likely do the same in their place. But this is not about FnKa so much as it is about GOONS, and how they operate. I disagree strongly with their methods, and I will make sure that they will be changed soon enough.[/color] [/quote] And this whole sentiment right here is a perfect example of why you're little movement and sense of outrage can never really gain meaningful legs.

I was the omen that the NPO was to fall, and I foretold many of their crimes, from the betrayal of Polaris and more, well before they happened. I was called mad and delusional then, but I turned out to be right.

Yankees Empire Posted October 18, 2010 Report Share Posted October 18, 2010 FnKa 1.0, with me-1 year, 2 months FnKa 2.0, without me-4 months I am worth 10 months of alliance survival.

The Corrupt Teacher Posted October 18, 2010 Report Share Posted October 18, 2010 Considering that most of them were nuclear and the war lasted more than one cycle I'm shocked the GOONs didn't ask for more. Pretty merciful imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fernando12 Posted October 18, 2010 Report Share Posted October 18, 2010 Well over half the posts are GOONS and its allies. You guys are really having a "conversation" with yourselves and one that has been had already in IRC. I guess keep that PR machine rolling. This war FnKa fought was too soon and they should have waited. You all keep bringing up the "do something about it" phrase. You sit well right now but in time you will get the beating you deserve. It's too bad good alliances like VE and Umbrella have tied themselves to GOONS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
