Ardus Posted January 18, 2011 Report Share Posted January 18, 2011 [quote name='Fallen Fool' timestamp='1295332649' post='2580527'] A nation in war mode under orders is serving the Order. A nation in peace mode under orders is serving the Order. There is no difference as far as I'm concerned. [/quote] An individual serving his alliance in peace mode is ill-suited to preach of blood and glory. Perhaps once he exits, sure, but doing so while in the safety of reserves, tucked far from the terrors of the front, opens him to ridicule. I have no doubt he will eventually emerge and serve faithfully, whether it be in war or in peace for reconstruction. But he set himself up for some light jabs.

[/quote] Someone doesn't know how OLD and BAD this joke is... Man... I stay off OWF for just 2 days.. and the IQ drops by half.. and OWF didn't have 1/2 to give Man.. I'm just going to say... This war smells ROTTEN considering how many allies of VE rolled this so quickly (yeah..

TypoNinja Posted January 18, 2011 Report Share Posted January 18, 2011 [quote name='Moridin' timestamp='1295332599' post='2580521'] Both of your alliances are smart enough to know using peace mode is a perfectly acceptable tactic, and indeed both of your alliances have used it in the past. It's astonishing that after all these years people still think "you're in peace mode, your argument is invalid!" line somehow has any validity. [/quote] Peace mode being a sound tactic or not has absolutely nothing to do with the impression that it can leave on general members (especially the less active ones) when the people who just happened to be ordered to peace mode are gov. Its a great image of the peons burning for their leaders sins while their leaders stay safe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lakerzz8 Posted January 18, 2011 Report Share Posted January 18, 2011 [quote name='Crowdog' timestamp='1295332808' post='2580543'] It wasn't a comment about him being in peace mode because he doesn't know how to fight or anything. It was directed at the fact he referenced being scarred and holding commitment. It was well warranted. [/quote] Being ordered into peace mode so that you can form the second unit of attack doesn't mean your nation isn't showing commitment to the alliance and won't be scarred.

Willaim Kreiger Posted January 18, 2011 Report Share Posted January 18, 2011 [quote name='rsoxbronco1' timestamp='1295332752' post='2580537'] Funny. You were able to talk to VE so quickly, yet when you $%&@ed with =LOST= a few months back there wasn't a Polar gov capable of actually fixing the problem in sight. You shouldn't expect people to listen to your points when you won't give others the same respect. (death to =lost= etc etc) [/quote] What in the hell are you on about? I was around and just wanted nothing to do with =LOST='s $%&@ed accusations. There is no reason that your applicant AA should be something completely unrelated to your actual AA [b]and[/b] to not have it referenced in your wiki. We are simply not exhaustively checking every rogue that attacks us from a 3 man AA with no apparent ties to anyone. That problem with =LOST= has since been changed, since they added it to their wiki, and I bet they havn't had problems with that anymore, have they? Groundbreaking, isn't it?

Its a great image of the peons burning for their leaders sins while their leaders stay safe. [/quote] Two things. First, peace mode nations were not selected by any method that would favor government over regular members. The fact that any government hit peace mode is a result of the government being more active and thus quicker to react to the situation. Second, why don't you let us worry about how we feel when we see our government in peace mode? It's not your concern, and not your place to make blind guesses at how you think we perceive the issue of government hitting peace mode. For my part, I'm glad they didn't have too much pride and that they simply did what was best for the alliance.

That aside, it's pretty sad what VE is trying to pull here. I suspect they will demand gigantic reparations again. But this time, they won't have the excuse of "Well it was a defensive war!!1" though it will be trumped up as such. And hey, now we know why PC and the FOK colony couldn't come to NEW's defense - This little ploy was all prepped and ready to go, and that war would have messed up this plan.
