Stetson76 Posted March 3, 2011 Report Share Posted March 3, 2011 Congratulations on peace to our friends in Olympus.

[/quote] While going all in and being spent is a reasonable reason to leave, they should not have thrown all in from the get go knowing how long of a war this might be. 6-12 months +. Everyone knew that going in, and should have planned accordingly. I am not sure about Olympus though, I definitely expected more from them from and am disappointed. However I still love QH, Pansy, and Buff. And Goons, don't expect these reps to be paid for a very long time. Cause i don't think this war is going to end anywhere remotely close to soon.

lamuella Posted March 3, 2011 Report Share Posted March 3, 2011 [quote name='Omniscient1' timestamp='1299131833' post='2650862'] That was my first thought, but why didn't Olympus have to pay reps? Did you purposely chose the weaker alliance to look more evil? [/quote] I'm not government, but my reading of it is this: One alliance had to join, they had a mutual defense clause One alliance chose to join, they had an optional aggression clause. I could be wrong in this being the exact reasoning as I was asleep when this happened, but it seems clear to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] I don't think it's a shock to anyone that you're that arrogant.

Not the same reason you gave, but they both make sense either way. Not really a fan of big reps, but tbh this doesn't seem extremely evil. Since it's just money reps I think I could over-look it. Good luck to everyone in the future. NAC are cool cats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Well, considering there wasn't a valid reason for GOONs to attack NPO in the first place, it seems a bit hypocritical to punish someone for actually following their treaty, be it an optional aggressive or mutual defensive clause. Either way, it's a treaty nonetheless. Then again, I'm teaching common sense to a GOONs members, so I'm basically speaking upon deaf ears. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lamuella Posted March 3, 2011 Report Share Posted March 3, 2011 oh no jwconner disapproves how will I sleep at night someone asked for the reasoning, I gave my approximation of what the reasoning was. At no point did it cross my mind that making TPF approve of this was a valid objective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, there's a good chance you'll be greatly disappointed when all is said and done. *cue the cool guy response about how it's awesome to be the bad guy* [/quote] First off, Olympus has given me two of the only three combatants that have fought well so far this war (the third coming from those cool guys in the NSO) and it will be a shame to watch them go. Secondly, I highly doubt it considering how poorly TPF has stacked up so far. Things will be easier for us now that an actual fighting force is out of the conflict. Now remind me how you have an effective winning strategy while we steamroll your nations into dust. There is no good guy, bad guy dynamic here. Just winners and losers and those who were smart to get out early while the rest fall to the dogs of war. P.S. I can't wait to see the screencaps of the one victory you guys were able to get on an inactive nation. Edited March 3, 2011 by Feldheim C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

berbers Posted March 3, 2011 Report Share Posted March 3, 2011 It is wrong to put temptation in the path of any nation,    For fear they should succumb and go astray; So when you are requested to pay up or be molested,    You will find it better policy to say: -- "We never pay any-one Dane-geld,    No matter how trifling the cost; For the end of that game is oppression and shame,    And the nation that plays it is lost!"
