Locke Posted January 16, 2011 Report Share Posted January 16, 2011 [quote name='Professor Chaos' timestamp='1295206398' post='2577447'] Taking a moment to stop poking you guys with a stick for a second, I'll ask a serious question. What would you have happen instead? Maintenance of the current status quo, where everybody wants to go to war and everyone is too scared to do it? Far too many characters, on both side of the world divide, are too afraid to make the first move. At the very least, Anarch is doing [b]something[/b]. Sir Paul and Cortath poked and prodded at MK, testing like spoiled children, to see just how much they could get away with. Now, thanks to Anarch, their bluffs have been called. How will they respond? Will someone on your end do something about it, or is it just going to be more whining and complaining about how this is an example of how boring the game is? You can't have it both ways- complaining when nobody is willing to do something [b]AND[/b] complaining that the something that gets done isn't interesting enough for your tastes. If you want something different from MK-NPO, make it happen yourself. [/quote] Actions of a single nation rarely if ever accomplish much of note, so it's hard to say he's "doing something about it" as even if it was his intention, his actions will likely have no repercussions to the world at large. He is doing this for his own benefit and amusement, and little else. Making petty war is [i]not[/i] "doing something about it." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tamerlane Posted January 16, 2011 Report Share Posted January 16, 2011 [quote name='Maelstrom Vortex' timestamp='1295206515' post='2577453'] We've reformed, but I'd have to ask what is your current state as the actions of your group leave me a little boggled given what it supposedly fought for. Unfortunately, I do not have the senses to perceive your intent more clearly. Only you will know what your intent is. [/quote] No, no. I understand you've "reformed" by necessity of your position (funny how that works) and everything we fought for has been remedied thus far, seeing as no one has been disbanded, run out of this game, or pruposefully kept from pursuing their destiny.

So.. my question is.. are people not being run out of the game or are you simply failing to perceive the effect your policies are having upon it? Your own brethren are apparently exiting.. if you are being truthful. The collective population of world leaders seems to decline daily of late. Are you truly achieving the goals you claim?

tamerlane Posted January 16, 2011 Report Share Posted January 16, 2011 [quote name='Caliph' timestamp='1295206577' post='2577454'] How is breaking a stagger defending MK? I think breaking a stagger is directly contrary to defending MK, no? [/quote] Voytek was only trying to defend our King. Im guessing his breaking of a stagger was an innocent accident as he probably forgot to check thw ar screen. Maybe if NPO had coordinated with MK efforts to defend our king, things wouldn't have turned out like they did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geoffron X Posted January 16, 2011 Report Share Posted January 16, 2011 Look, all I can tell from this is that either A: MK supports and attempts to aid roguery upon our alliance, or B: Voytek is incompetent at war.

GK Chesterton Posted January 16, 2011 Report Share Posted January 16, 2011 The minority government of Immortal Rhodesia is concerned and dismayed by the petty squabbling surrounding this issue. The brave soldiers of Voytek and Pacifica are united in their resolve and determination to see Anarch brought to justice and they are in our thoughts and prayers.
