What possible financial loss could there be for Heft here?

A member of MK did commit an act of war on NSO, will MK drop this member, support this act of war or work out some compense wit NSO?

An appropriate reparation is not measured by its equivalence to the damage caused. It is measured by its ability to deter the violation in the future. [/quote]

While their would be no financial loss, their is the fact fact a MK nation with over 900 days of AA seniority spied on a NSO nation.

In which reps or expulsion is usually the end result.

Why would there be reps? Is really any calculable loss associated with a failed spy run against your nation? How would you decide what to pay?

edit: Can't NSO just spy the offending nation themselves, and have everything be even?

That's true, you cannot put a price on a broken heart.

How did you decide what NSO should pay with the trade issue? Further, do you deny that nation on nation spying is an act of war?

Would that be similar to MK just taking care of the offending nation in the TC incident themselves also? Why the change of heart?

no because we're talking reps not destroying the nation

That obviously had an actual calculable financial loss.

In my [i][u][b]personal opinion[/i][/b][/u], I would not be OK with that being done to me, but others may disagree!

Late to the party? Maybe. Stylish and attractive? Always.

By "respond accordingly" are you saying that MK will allow their nations within range of the demasked ghost-or-not to attack aforementioned maybe-was-a-ghost that actually went ahead and farked the MK trade circle up? He should be the only person responsible, right? Unless there is proof that NSO sanctioned and encouraged the action taken, of course.

[/quote]Besides strategic losses, it is a rather blatant act of aggression against NSO. I'm sure if MK received a spy attack of this nature that they'd be calling on Archon to throw another tantrum on the forums to get another couple hundred in tech reparations.

Fair enough, but on the first point, unless I missed it somewhere, MK has never shown that there were actual damages that required reps beyond the 3M in aid. I don't believe any proof has been put forward that the members of the TC actually had to back collect short a TC member. If I missed that evidence my apologies.

MK's initial offer, likely. But their skilled counterparts at NSO will negotiate the reps down to $3m/0 and get themselves a medal for it.

For sure, each of those people lost about 10 million in back collects.... 50mil lost to gain 15mil+250 tech, definitely not very profitable. It's kind of you to think about the real victims in this story, which everyone else seems to be ignoring in favor of the politics.

Wait.. so you're saying, the guy who canceled the trade, canceled right before the other 5 nations collected? He so perfectly timed it for them all to lose out? That is ridiculous. It is your own responsibility to check that your trades and other relevant options are in order before you collect. If they're not, find a temp and correct the wrongs.

Personal responsibility can go a long way, and could have prevented all this.

I think you mean prince. Archon will invariably be called back from retirement whenever something resembling real leadership is needed.

I find it amusing how you switch from attacking Archon and calling him a terrible leader and possessing the moral character of Satan, to attributing him with "real leadership", dependent upon whoever you wish to assail with your latest tide of !@#$%^&*.

Ah. Good old RV stirring up dust... Bored much? *smiles*

Was all this really necessary? Unmask your ghosts, trade with reliable folks. And don't cry after you've agreed to something. This is hardly the stuff that puts NSO back on the map and crushes MK. It's actually a bit embarrassing.

This is probably the post I agree with most in the entire thread. Really, when it comes down to it, this entire situation is unbecoming of both alliances. The Kingdom has the capacity to be a much more nefarious, calculating villain; the New Sith Order is capable of much more interesting intransigence. All either alliance has to show for their recent efforts is a whole lot of terrible posting from all corners of the Cyberverse.

Perhaps he is insinuating that the moral character of Satan is an integral part of "real leadership"?

Remains to be seen if NSO starts off with an excessive demand.
