Duke Nukem Posted March 10, 2011 Report Share Posted March 10, 2011 I know this must've been a hard decision for you guys as you are very close to this group of people and have been for a very long time. Good luck in the future RoK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Judge X Posted March 10, 2011 Report Share Posted March 10, 2011 From what I've heard, RoK and TPF were good friends in the past. Perhaps not superfriends, but good friends. I hope that we can return to that former status. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeroofTime55 Posted March 10, 2011 Report Share Posted March 10, 2011 IMO, RIA needs to hurry up and follow RoK out. RIA is the last respectable alliance left in SF, and they don't need the others dragging them down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeTheFirst Posted March 10, 2011 Report Share Posted March 10, 2011 I think one of the problems was that Rok was the world champion in signing treaties. At one point, they had 22 of them and that had to backfire one day. You just can't keep everyone happy in a world war when you have that many allies. You have to make difficult choices then and if you end up on a different side than your bloc mates, it's not that weird that it ends in tears. Good luck out there, Rok, and good luck to the remaining SF alliances. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were faced with an attack by one MDoAP ally (VE) on another MDoAP ally (NpO). Whether we'd had 2 or 2000 allies, keeping everyone happy would have been impossible. The reasons why we chose to defend NpO are no secret and hardly a big surprise. Our other allies acted according to their treaty links or their internal alliance goals; again hardly a surprise.

King Wally Posted March 10, 2011 Report Share Posted March 10, 2011 The truth is Nordreich told us we either had to cancel SF or leave them...we did the only thing any rational person would do and bent over and took our punishment for being bad allys. ok... back to reality... this is s very sad day. I'd like to remember the good times the fun, the curbstomps (sorry NSO i actually dont mind you guys now your pretty cool!), the awesome TE alliance at one stage and most of all the friendships. We were put in a corner and told to make a call and I 100% support Kaits decision. I hate the fact we are leaving our good times in SF behind us but what is done is done. Even the best relationships fall eventually I guess. Here's to hoping we can all catch up and have a beer together some time soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xiphosis Posted March 10, 2011 Report Share Posted March 10, 2011 [quote name='Goose' timestamp='1299782312' post='2658770'] If you view it as us dictating what treaties you can sign when we're upset when you time and again place outside treaties over the best interest of the bloc, I fear the problem lies with RoK, not SF. [/quote] I'll echo Goose's comments here. I was asked by Ragnarok last night what I would like to see of them, and my bloc-mates concurred that it was the only possible course of action to get SF firing on the same page again and not acting divided. Your priority since being back has been Nordreich and Polaris, Kait, and I'm glad you no longer have any pretense of loyalty for us. It makes things a lot more honest.

It makes things a lot more honest.[/quote] What makes this hilarious is the number of times members of Ragnarok's government -- in private discussions with me and various other Nordreich members over the last several months -- have expressed their desire to maintain relations with SF despite whatever conflicts it might cause down the road. RoK expended a great deal of energy defending your nonsense. It's a shame you refused to see it. Ragnarok was loyal to [u]all[/u] of their allies. The problem was that you disliked two of them and made dropping them a condition of continued friendship. Spin it however you like, but this is really no different from the nonsense you pulled with GOONS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The image of Xiph pushing SF to fire on some poor guy in a medieval page costume, then getting them to do it again, is perfect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
