Xiao Weng Posted March 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2011 [quote name='pezstar' timestamp='1299764657' post='2658464'] While I'll grant that this thread was, perhaps, a bit more snarky than necessary, it certainly does seem that lately, Xiphosis has done quite a bit of talking on behalf of alliances he is not a member of. Perhaps Xiph has been picked as the unofficial spokesperson for his little corner of the web, and folks are playing the RAWR XIPHOSIS game a bit too freely. On the other hand, maybe Xiphosis is getting a bit big for his britches, and the elements this has directly effected don't particularly appreciate his particular brand of WINNING. [/quote] I have a secret hope that my grandstanding generates some kind of response from the Commonwealth other than their enrenched allies speaking for them, or the hedging one-liners that have seemed so popular as of late. Maybe we'll luck out and this will kickstart something on the back end (as we've heard little to nothing from the CSN since before the war started, and it seems their former MoFA wasn't able to stoop to using the forums to contact us). Or maybe it'll generate missiles launched from the SuperFriends for our perceived grievances. So it goes. (In reality, I [i]really[/i] wanted to use Walter and the Mooninites.

Haflinger Posted March 10, 2011 Report Share Posted March 10, 2011 Honestly, I really doubt any of the other eleven spheres would object to The Brain moving over. And, yeah, this is how Maroon has worked for quite some time. Cora's right. Although the specific circumstances of the Chestnut-USN drama during Karma and the Brain-CSN drama of recent times are different, the basic essence is the same: do what Xiph says or get out of CA.

neneko Posted March 10, 2011 Report Share Posted March 10, 2011 I love how everyone is running with whatever the brain says here. Nobody has said anything about kicking the brain off any sphere and I very much doubt they intend to do so. So this whole discussion over where poor little brain should go to be safe from the evil CSN empire is fairly unnecessary. At least the brain keeps showing CSN over and over that they made the right call cancelling the treaty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It may or may not be true, but you have no evidence it is, yet you imply in several posts that you do. The decision to leave was your decision. Second, it's been implied that your alliance is being booted from Maroon. No one has ever even suggested that you should leave, let alone that you're required to leave. Third, are you unaware of where our forum lies? Last I checked the link to our forum was available to everyone, publicly. Somehow a representative of LoSS made it there, so I'm pretty sure it's possible for our oh-so-good friends to find it, no? I seem to have missed all the threads where you tried ever so hard to communicate with us. I'll say that I'm among those in CSN who openly questioned our handling of the treaty with you, but I must say I like your handling of it less. You and I have had our issues, but I hold the majority of The Brain in high regard. I knew little of this drama until you made it public, but I also know enough about it to know that you had other venues that would have been better suited to the discussions you claim to want. Attempting to use the OWF is somehow encourage communications that you could have started directly is childish. Launching attacks at CSN because you're upset they canceled your treaty is childish. And pretending that your attacks are all in good fun because you're not man enough to be honest is childish. If you held even a modicum of the respect you claim to hold and you were the adults you claim to be, then it would more than abundantly clear that this is bad behavior on your part. Furthering conspiracies about Maroon, GOD, and CSN is not something you should be doing to friends, especially since your claim that it was in "jest" seems to fall a little flat given the outright attacks that have been leveled by you and others in this thread and others toward CSN. But, hey, all of the above is in jest. See, that makes it just like I didn't say it at all. Seriously, in what world do we think putting "j/k" after insults erases them? My nephews stopped using that argument when they hit high school. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
