Because, quite frankly, a nation with 130 levels of infrastructure doesn't face much and isn't really a waste for them. But interesting deflection there, HoT. [/quote]Really? They can't let him back under their protection if you just declare the guy a ZI target. When you lie through your teeth, it helps to flesh out the details in your head first.

AnCapistan Posted November 9, 2010 Report Share Posted November 9, 2010 [quote name='Hyperion321' timestamp='1289321784' post='2508163'] It depends on what side of the web said alliance is one. On NSO's side of the web sure, there would be outrage. On MK's side of the web people really wouldn't really care about treaty ties at all. It would just be an avenue to kill NSO again, which is quite a welcome activity in those parts. [/quote] Yes it would be fun. But those on MK's side don't want to be called the New Hegemony everyday and this is one easy way for them to be associated with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daikos Posted November 9, 2010 Report Share Posted November 9, 2010 There sure is a lot of bawwwwwwing in this thread. I'd probably feel bad for any alliance other than NSO. Sure, MK look like my idols here but I seem to recall a time when NSO threatened Dark Fist for making a thread that portrayed them in a negative light and demanded 500 tech in reps. For an alliance that loves to talk such a big game (and is friends with / filled with ex-Hegemony era members) you should perhaps try doing something about it instead of making thread after thread where you cry like children with soiled diapers? [ooc] I've been waiting YEARS to say do something about it. I can quit CN happy now. [/ooc] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] What is this mentality that an alliance must have identically copied every action that NPO has taken before someone can bring up their similarity? No one has said MK is worse than NPO ever was, people are saying this incident is reminiscent of the kind of thing NPO would have done, and those people are 100% right.

And usually that's how the punishment is dealt with. The nation who harmed you gets ZI, you don't threaten the alliance that gave you permission to pummel him. You decided who they were allowed to protect and let go, last I checked it was their AA, shouldn't that decision be theirs? If they want to let a member be attacked instead of protecting him, that's their decision. He most likely wouldn't come back, and you would only be speculating to say that he would. All you wanted out of this was to extort some money out of NSO, which you've done. I hope the PR war you lost was worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
