Trikoupis Posted November 19, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2010 [quote name='r00tn00b' timestamp='1290161327' post='2517280'] They spoke to Bizat behind the protections of closed doors. In fear that their collection of this band of misfits would be ridiculed by the populace of bob. [/quote] Well now, I wouldn't agree with this hard judgement on GCU. One of their ministers made an awful mistake. But there are active people there, people who can learn and grow, people that can one day, perhaps, offer to our community. And I believe that they have learned a lot from this incident. A hard lesson they were taught, but they took it. Their willingness to join the rest of the leftist family is a good indication that this adventure affected them. It's necessity that forges character. And necessity they faced.

[/quote] You heard it here first, GOONS teaching hard life lessons to those they meet. A necessary service to the world of Bob. You could teach them a lot about war though, their strategy is lacking. Please send tutoring fee of 90m to GOONS asap. these lessons are expensive to coordinate and fund.

Kevin McDonald Posted November 19, 2010 Report Share Posted November 19, 2010 [quote name='Trikoupis' timestamp='1290159461' post='2517264'] So, yeah, request lock. [/quote] Requesting a lock is like requesting time be turned back to 18 months ago (or so) when you [i]could[/i] request a lock. As it stands, if you are taking in people being pursued by GOONS you should probably, you know, speak with GOONS. They tend to be fairly accomodating in these things, but not when you try to take advantage of, or liberties with, them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cataduanes Posted November 19, 2010 Report Share Posted November 19, 2010 Firstly let me wish the best of luck to GCU, it is a shame you had to learn the realities of existence in CN the hard way. But what does not kill you makes you stronger. Secondly we in the International took it upon ourselves to reach out to try ensure this situation was resolved quickly, and to this effect our FA guy took the time to speak Biazt...

[/quote] Provided your chain of command gives you a green light, you may attack anything I guess. However, this is now a protected AA. And as stated : [quote]- No potential tech-raid target from an AA with treaties or protection will be approved. This includes applicant and POW AAs.[/quote] My interpretation is that you won't be given a greenlight. If I'm wrong about this, I have not yet been informed. You may continue fighting until the wars expire, but no new declarations of war. Edited November 19, 2010 by Trikoupis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] I really dont care one way or another what happens here, but I have to ask, in all seriousness.... how an alliance with zero offensive wars on another alliance, can be considered "rogues.".... if there are offensive wars that have been deleted, consider this my apology in advance.

[/quote] The entire thing is odd. All I see is GOONS attacking them. And then LSF and this annoucement, says they cleared it with GOONS. GOONS claims they do not know anything about it, then LSF seems to clearly try to protect GOONS from making themselves look like idiots by ending this in public and taking it private. Then you see GOONS continue to claim they have no idea what is going on but, they want it public. Then INT comes in with logs and shows that LFS is indeed correct and it is GOONS that is confused. Maybe GOONS should take some time and talk to each other to figure out what is going on and then share with the rest of us. Since they have made it clear several times they want this open for the public. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nippy Posted November 19, 2010 Report Share Posted November 19, 2010 They're not rogues. Let's put that to bed right now. This is simply a case of someone that shouldn't have been in any government anywhere making a decision that basically threw his entire alliance to the wolves. As for the discussion that took place with Biazt, we haven't heard from him in a while. I haven't seen him on IRC lately, and nothing was posted within our government section. Besides, as a GOONS council member, he doesn't have the credentials to make a decision on behalf of the entire GOONS alliance on his own, and I'm pretty sure he knows this. He stepped down from a high enough position to do this (as did I) due to responsibilities outside of alliance business. Something seems pretty damn fishy here. I may be wrong, but it certainly wouldn't be my first time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hogosha Posted November 19, 2010 Report Share Posted November 19, 2010 (edited) I would like to voice my approbation to LSF and INT for negotiating and handling this merger well. Bringing GCU members into your fold so they can learn the intricacies of CN politics is to be commended ... as is offering the hand of friendship, aid, protection, and defense to those who may need it that you can call friends.
