Finally something that's not white. It started to look like the opposite of a funeral around here.

Poor show. Honoring treaties is never worthy of extorting reps, especially when your side were the aggressors.

TKTB entered the war against us to defend TIO. TIO peaced out over a month ago and TKTB refused our offer of white peace at that time. Why? I don't know.

[SoADarthCyfe6]

Really? Reps? Pathetic. Complete extortion knowing that all of TKTB's allies are depleted in their funds and Military and they can get away with it.

Poor show iFOK and SLCB.

[/quote]OK, that sort of changes things, but I'd still like to know TKTB's side of that story. Did they still have other allies involved?

[KahlanRahl]

Glad to see our friends in TKTB has gotten peace, albeit via defeat. We wish you all the best in rebuilding.

[/quote]Sort of ironic that the FOK vassal state is showing more honor here, isn't it?

No. iFOK has worked its ass off trying to get peace for each and every war.

It's because they are allied to Polaris and we were still fighting so they didn't want to leave us there.

o/ Our allies in SLCB
o/ Reps

[/quote]I take back any reservations I held. It's rather clear, then, that in this case, SCLB or whatever is quite in the wrong to demand reps.

[Goldie]

When iFOK got piled on, SLCB was right there to throw itself into the meat grinder to defend it. Despite their best efforts, TKTB would not accept their offer of white peace, choosing instead to drag the war out long past the departure of the ally they entered for. For all SLCB sacrificed in entering and staying in the war, I believe they are justified to ask for reparations, and am also glad that the terms stipulate that the burden isn't entirely on TKTB to pay them.

Yes, TKTB refused to leave Polaris out on the battlefield. Just as Polaris would do for them. Congrats on peace TKTB.

[Rebel Virginia]

[color="#0000FF"]While these are far from crippling, I still find these excessive and unnecessary. I wouldn't have asked for them, but oh well.[/color]

[Faust Betreur]

SLCB was never at war with Polaris. We were getting nuked by TKTB for no reason whatsoever; it gave their side no strategic advantage to continue fighting SLCB. Anyway, I'm not going to bother arguing, the newfound morality that reparations are evil has clearly taken hold of a large section of this community. I and my alliance are satisfied that reps were appropriate in this case, and that's what matters.

[LittleRena]

SLCB need reps to rebuild? So you had bad warchests then, or was it more that you lost at lot of carboard boxes in the fire?

[William Blake]

Glad to see another front close. Thanks for standing by us, TKTB.

[Gingivitis Khan]

I agree with goldie

[Hereno]

SLCB fought hard as hell this war, and I think they're completely justified in asking for reps when white peace was offered and rejected weeks ago.

Congrats to them, iFOK, and TKTB on peace.

I guess it's an empty box for a reason, eh?

[neneko]

iFOK was at war with both TKTB and Polaris, hence their insistence to stick it out with us. I could not let your previous statement that TKTB had no reason to fight once "the ally they entered for" had left go without clarification when it was such an obvious half truth. Once the full story is told, there is little else for me to argue about, you think punishment for this is acceptable and I do not.

TKTB, thanks for sticking by us so long!
