raasaa Posted October 30, 2010 Report Share Posted October 30, 2010 [quote name='Lusitan' timestamp='1288399043' post='2496753'] My personal and possibly uneducated guess is that MK wanted to get ride of some sensitive treaties that would cost (politically wise) them alot to cancel because they had alot of meaning or history. Cancelling them all was much easier and less painful and it's much harder for the general people to figure out who are the "excluded" partners when MK is signing them one by one at their own pace. In fact, it allows them to manage the amount of critics they get at a time to soften any resultant PR damage. [/quote] hmm, interesting line of thinking. It does make sense i guess, at least for one treaty....dunno about the rest. [quote name='ChairmanHal' timestamp='1288402012' post='2496785'] If their intent was to manage PR damage, this was absolutely the last treaty they should have signed. [/quote] I honestly think this will be their last treaty. If they do sign anymore, the only other alliance i expect them to sign with is STA....

Buds The Man Posted October 30, 2010 Report Share Posted October 30, 2010 [quote name='Denial' timestamp='1288415808' post='2496986'] I'll let you in on a little secret. When people mention the pronoun Hegemony, they are referring to Pacifica and its group of allies that dominated the game from 2007 to 2009. Those alliances, in general, are still alive and kicking, despite their switch from domination to irrelevancy. That was the literal meaning. Or you could somehow understand the post to mean that I believe that NPO is still in control of the game. Sounds sensible! [/quote] Irrelevent definatly a shot across the bow. I refuse to be irrelevent. I get it denial thanks for answering a simple question with a simple answer and not some smart ass remark. Good luck to you 3 in your future endeavors.

Beefspari Posted October 30, 2010 Report Share Posted October 30, 2010 [quote name='HeroofTime55' timestamp='1288406682' post='2496822'] GOONS and Umbrella will always stand by VE, PC, FOK, and its vassal state. MK will always stand by GOONS and Umbrella. Therefore, MK will always stand by VE, PC, FOK, and its vassal state. VE, PC, FOK, and its vassal state will all stand by MK for similar reasons. It's the transitive property of treaties, and everyone knows full well what kind of relationship exists between the signatories of this agreement. Trying to deny it is a massive stretch of logic and reality. [/quote] If being treatied to someone in PB means you may as well join, then it doesn't stop at MK. =LOST=, Alpha Omega, GOD, OSA, SLCB, Sparta, MHA, Argent, NV, Ragnarok, wF, Tetris, RIA, Brigade, Athens, FoB, NEW, and \m/ may as well all stop pretending and join PB too.

MikeCrotch Posted October 30, 2010 Report Share Posted October 30, 2010 I for one am glad of the fact that we can throw off the fallacy of the invisible hegemony and start licking MKs boots with the rest of PB like the worthless vassals we are.
