PrinceArutha Posted February 15, 2011 Report Share Posted February 15, 2011 Congrats/Condolences on your achievement/failure. I really have no opinion of you guys/girls over there/here in neutral zone. Goodluck or Good riddance whichever is less/more along the lines/(circles?) of what should/shouldnt be said here/there. It's good/bad to see you guys still being the neutral menace/pansies.

Nelchael Posted February 15, 2011 Report Share Posted February 15, 2011 PA beat me to it, now I'm not posting any flower porn. Congrats on 5 years, but I'm disappointed.

jerdge Posted February 15, 2011 Report Share Posted February 15, 2011 [quote name='Hime Themis' timestamp='1297741444' post='2633916']Gentle GPA I offer this a most unneutral expression of congratulations from the Order of the Black Rose. 5 Long years you have held your head high during good and hard times. That you have maintained this steadfast belief in Neutrality during some very trying times is a testament to the purity of belief of the founders and the remarkable resilience and character of your alliance. To my first home I offer my own personal thanks for fostering my early values and best wishes for your continued proud success. Respectfully Your friend(without neutrality) Dame Hime Themis[/quote] The GPA is politically and military neutral but that doesn't mean that she is indifferent. The friendly, honest and peaceful relationship between us and the OBR is a joy for us. We are different but we are friendly to each other in our diversity, with that proving that rationality and civility [i]can[/i] shape the way alliances conduct their foreign affairs. To me personally it means [i]a lot[/i].

However you are missing some ladies in your honors. April comes most quickly to mind.[/quote] Great artwork as usual, dear Antonio! April was a great person which spent a lot of her energy and love for the GPA: her example and speeches are still inspiring. I am sad that she left our world, though I am also happy that she eventually decided to do what was best for her. Anyway, Antonio, your name is the one I most regret didn't make it to the HoF in this first edition (I tried...) The ones enlisted are anyway that great that in all honesty I would find myself in embarrassment if I had to say which one could have been omitted, to make room for you, April, El Bruc etc... I have high hopes for our sixth year's additions, anyway! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KahlanRahl Posted February 15, 2011 Report Share Posted February 15, 2011 Good to see you guys making an effort to let the kids out to play here once in a while. Kick that cabin fever! I would protest Fu's admittance on grounds of frequent desertion of his posts in government but that is neither here nor there anymore, as the last time he turned tail he never came back. Funny how one can choose to forget the important faults of some to highlight the small good, but demonize small, singular yet impacting mistakes.

Unlike you, he never once tried to justify his shortcomings or to shift the blame to others. Nor did he make a nuisance of himself in such an egregious a manner that it would get him banned on multiple occasions. He did not try to disrupt GPA's forums or IRC channel, exacerbate and increase tensions and in general just be an annoying little she-dog-in-heat. Unlike me, he was too nice to point out the extensive faults of others, even if they are a royal pain in the derriere like you. Fu deserves the honor and accolades. With that said, KahlanRahl, have a great day!

As you so rightly point out, GPA has an embarrassment of riches when it comes to member nations. I think the selection process did well. Those chosen are all deserving.

Schattenmann Posted February 15, 2011 Report Share Posted February 15, 2011 Some really cool guys up there. Congratulations, and here's to 5 more years.

Turned tail and fled days after elections. I would say it is blatantly irresponsible to run for government positions if you are known to have the problems that Fu had regarding... internal national issues. As he did it over and over again, he will not get any sympathy from me (in game). I won't comment on your pathetically masked attacks on me, because you don't know a word of what you're talking about, and quite frankly I find it amusing that you all still are so sensitive to my playful jabs. Again a testament to the days of my membership where so long as no one was personally attacked, we took pokes and prods with a laugh in return. It's sad.

[/quote] I think that discussing the merit of the names in the GPA HoF is fair game, and I am absolutely OK with you having all the chances you want to express your opinion on the subject: while I may strongly disagree with you I am also happy to know about your point of view. One can never know where and what can be learnt from another one's speeches (be it what the speaker intended, or not). I'd anyway appreciate if you could leave other issues out of this thread: while your deductions about Antonio and the Viridian Entente might be interesting in themselves (or not) they have little to do with our HoF and I'd thus appreciate if you avoided bringing again that or other unrelated subjects into this place, as a sign of respect. It's OK if you want to reply to a perceived attack to your person, but please stick to just that. it's not that you [i]have[/i] to, of course: I am asking you a [i]favour[/i].

Yes, I'm still so upset about that one little election (as if I was before). I don't remember saying anything about whether I wanted to win or not. Got nothing to do with it, but continue reading between the lines and gleaning invisible statements. And what difference does it make that I've helped some friends out here and there? If you want an alliance "hopper" I'd get in touch with SWK. He's got a nice long list. Anyway, congrats people. I hope you guys do this again. I'd like to see Thomas make that list. And Prob.
