Lord Brendan Posted March 1, 2011 Report Share Posted March 1, 2011 (edited) [quote name='CubaQuerida' timestamp='1298956951' post='2647634'] I'm gonna go ahead on record now as saying these are probably gonna turn out to be [u]the most expensive 10k reps[/u] any alliance has [u]ever[/u] accepted.

[/quote] Were I Head of State, I would have offered some form of military decommission terms (deal with it, haters! ) with a no re-entry clause, nothing else, when you first came to us.

Fear not, for we are merciful in that respect. Edited March 1, 2011 by Lord Brendan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hereno Posted March 1, 2011 Report Share Posted March 1, 2011 Normally I'm against reps, but if you're willing to pay 20k tech (with two apologies) for defending your allies, you deserve to be forced to pay reps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Corrupt Teacher Posted March 1, 2011 Report Share Posted March 1, 2011 Well good to see DT get peace. Still think that 2k rule is retarded but I can where the overall amount comes in considering the circumstances...maybe should have been divided between LoSS and DT as that would have been more fair but overall not bad considering everything Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe you meant to quote Schatt, who twice in the first page hailed terms forcing CSN to vote for a non-maroon alliance's senate candidate? [/quote] I quoted RV because he was ranting on how he terms. Since CSN was forced terms for defending an ally in No Vision, I thought I would post that because CSN is forcing terms on DT for defending an ally here. OOC: Plus, the Blue text makes it more important looking, which is another reason I quoted RV Edited March 1, 2011 by Ryan Greenberg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The number of nations that can pay is far more relevant, since you can send up to 300 tech every round whether you have 0 or 15,000. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] I can see where you would get this. But the fact is, there was obscene damage being dealt to innocent parties. Our leadership did what they felt was necessary to mitigate that. I have the utmost confidence that CsN will get their karma down the road, even if we can't continue glassing their nations now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's far more becoming than this kind of talk. Remember all the whining CSN did after we surrendered in No Vision? No you don't, because we didn't whine - not in public anyway. We took our licks like men and we rebuilt in silence. Plot your revenge and rage against us all you want, but at least do it in privacy. You simply look ridiculous talking like this while the ink on the surrender terms is still wet. This comes off like its directed at you specifically, but it's a far more general observation. Nobody knows how to act anymore. [/quote] Basically, you bent over and accepted what reps were dictated, like the cr@ppy alliance you are. DT, I'm happy to say, is of slightly higher quality and dignity, and deigned to protest outlandish reps. Shame on them, right? Clearly, they weren't 'taking their licks like men' and whatnot.
