Branimir Posted November 25, 2010 Report Share Posted November 25, 2010 [quote name='Arrnea' timestamp='1290673805' post='2522906']And here I thought they already withdrew their staff. You're just closing down an empty building if that's the case. [/quote] Indeed, you make a important point. With MK banning our diplo envoy from their halls and retreating their envoy from ours, they have closed down official diplo connections between the two alliances. We are just recognizing this fact by this announcement as far as I can gather from it. And yes, hardly Bob shattering, but you can always *gasp* move onto what you find more relevant to your interests Bobians and skip this. It is incredible how this concept works for the better of all.

Sal Paradise Posted November 25, 2010 Report Share Posted November 25, 2010 In the realm of pointless announcements, embassy closures are even below NS milestones. I guess this has a little more drama to it. Death to both parties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Branimir Posted November 25, 2010 Report Share Posted November 25, 2010 I dont consider our response, belated. I think its a respectful amount of time within which we could have decisively recognize the new conditions of severed diplo ties from MK and act accordingly to the new found circumstances. Wasn't rash in that sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirWilliam Posted November 25, 2010 Report Share Posted November 25, 2010 You close that embassy on the staff that's already withdrawn. That'll show them. But really, this whole affair is thoroughly boring by now. I feel let down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DictatatorDan Posted November 25, 2010 Report Share Posted November 25, 2010 [color="#FF0000"]Redundant announcement is redundant. This is fully expected, the announcement however, was not.

HeroofTime55 Posted November 25, 2010 Report Share Posted November 25, 2010 [quote name='Mathias' timestamp='1290674660' post='2522914'] No one cares about this NPO, stop being attention whores! But in all seriousness, this is a important diplomatic fissure between two major world powers and should be treated as such. On that note, you complain about our lack of amicable diplomacy when you demasked two of our diplomats without providing a reason. People in glass houses don't throw stones, Pacifica. [/quote]Oh boy. 1) This is not a major fissure that hasn't already existed for a long time, stop vying for attention like a small child. 2) Reasons were provided to the Kingdom for the demaskings, just because you choose to ignore them for PR reasons doesn't bring truth to your lies. 3) This one isn't you specifically, but to everyone saying this is 'late:' I was under the impression that the Order kept the MK embassy open even though MK 'withdrew' their diplomats. Now, I don't know what goes on behind closed doors, but it seems to me that MK continued to abuse their embassy to provoke this closure. The Order can correct me if I am wrong on this.

We are basically here faced with a done deal, with MK's decision to close their ties with us. I take this as only recognizing that. I don't know what else is actually expectable here.
