NASSAU, Bahamas, 2019-06-23: SYNDICATE, Inc., (NYSE:SCC), along with our partners in House Stark (NYSE:HSW), are hereby announcing an end into our joint venture in attempting to monopolize the whale oil market. Diminishing returns, stormy weather and an unforeseen iceberg or two have cut into margins drastically. Our investors no longer see the profitability in continuing this whale war, and thus T$ and HS hereby withdraw from this venture effective immediately. A more thorough investigation into the matter will be announced in the coming days. Signed for The Syndicate: Leopold von Habsurg, Chief Operations Officer Utmos, Chief Financial and Security Officer Sisyphus, Strategic Planning Signed For House Stark: Zygon, King in the North Revan, Hand of the King Signed for Guardian: Memph JtTeE Vanek Signed for Grumpy Old Bastards: Sweeeeet Ronny D

BK: we want to rebuild our public perception of being a strong military alliance Also BK: call in NPO Edit: it has been called to my attention that TCW said this, not BK Let it be known that BK performed so poorly in this war that I couldn't tell them apart from TCW

>we did everything we could to avoid this outcome Someone smell bullshit in the air? Well, it's now a target rich environment. (Psst, Roq, when a plan leaks that implicates a cooperation between BK/NPO on hitting the two smaller spheres - you can't exactly go, "We did everything we could to avoid this outcome" after you prove it right)

Gonna be hard trying to convince people that IQ ever died or that NPO is not an alliance that just seeks a hegemony at every turn after this. This is your most blatant and likely riskiest attempt at doing this. If it doesn't pay off, I dare say your last.

1. Everything there was clearly dated as being before the formation of N$O. The logs clearly reference IQ, which isn't supposed to exist anymore. There was a loose idea that came a month post-Knightfall and a month pre-Orbis Shuffle, not even remotely close to the smoking gun you're trying to paint it as. There was no divvying up of alliances by us like you saw with the BK log and no discussion of it outside then and soon to be allies. In other words, no plan and no coalition building. We were recovering and discussing potential future paths and then IQ split. Given that we're at war with the BK half, guess you're aware of who we saw as the bigger immediate threat in the long run, seeing as they took every opportunity to try and escalate things with us since the end of Knightfall. We had no such qualms with NPO. 2. Chaos was not formed in order to hit NPO. That is what you asked and that is 100% true. Forming alliances and lasting relationships for the sole purpose of attacking someone is, in my opinion, idiotic. When we formed Chaos, the goal was not to hit any specific grouping, and I believe we said as much in our opening statement. Our goal was to embark on a new FA path with people we hadn't been allied to before and that's what we did. 3. Your DoW literally points to recent events from this war, not vague discussions from months ago and other than a random log from an unidentified person, there's no evidence that this was part of our plan. I am happy to show you log after log after log of us being against hitting NPO this war.

Gonna have to see some logs or something that we were gonna move fronts and hit NPO considering we actively shot down ideas of hitting NPO several times throughout this war.

I've read a ton of spineless disingenuous crap this last week but these 2 paragraphs take the cake, hands down. Welcome back, SyndIQ hegemony.

Regarding the inevitable 'hurr durr you're so salty' posts. First, its an increadibly childish and completely non-contributing response. Even the shitposts and yelling back and forth are more interesting. And I say this as much to people who use it on our side, on yours, and everywhere else online. It's just a really dumb response. That said, there is some real palpable disappointment and frustration here. While many saw it coming, it sucks to be back to the same old IQ vs Non IQ song and dance. We spent years with everyone largely in agreement that the two sphere world (be it the syndisphere vs paracov or later IQ vs EMC then IQ vs everyone) was boring and hurting the game. After finally appearing to make some progress, with multiple relevant spheres, it all comes crashing down. Add in some self directed salt and frustration at actually buying into your claims only to be proven wrong about our hopes, and you get this thread. Call it salty if you will, but people are going to be unhappy that the state of the game has regressed back to this.

"There is no intention of domination or anything."

Oh shut your BS excuses and admit it. I will even spell it out for you "W E L I E D I Q N E V E R D I S B A N D E D" thx

“You didn’t take our bait, darn it. Well...we’re going to hit you anyway...because reasons.....LONG LIVE IQ!!”

Well, that's disappointing. After talking with Wilhelm and seeing your continued hemming on the sidelines, most of us in Chaos, contrary to your insane conspiracy theories, were actually willing to believe you about being separate. Its a valuable life lesson I suppose. Always assume NPO will take the path of most consolidation.

So you're confirming that NPO is allied to BK sphere.

In need of a CB and don't know what to do? It's easy! Just blame orange man

This is a BK plan to destroy NPO, they faked a war with our coalition to lower their infra and now they will peace with Chaos-KETOGG and declare war to N$O

Maybe if they stated KETOG it'd have been a more believable story, but TKR? LOL They were too busy still digging out from the hole they were in while fighting BK and Friends. Something tells me that if a "log" does exist, some member of BK doctored it hard to pin it on TKR since some people have shown the capability of doing that (And I think it was Shifty who stated how to get around the "perfect" pixelation, by screenshotting the doctored log to blur out the edges some).

You are out of chances. People have spent the last 3 years giving you ample opportunity to prove your own rhetoric true and over and over again you've proven that wrong. If you thought people were targeting you before (you didn't it was a front to make the naive people sympathise with you), you are going to find out what that actually looks like now. The new norm is scorched earth. Your hegemonic ambitions are a failure. Anyone still tied to NPO or BK will sink with the ship.

a) NPO can give a shit about how bad this is FA/PR wise because now everyone knows that IQ still exists just with TCW and t$ included in them, there are dominating this game entirely. So what do you need FA or PR for when you can just smash everyone you dislike? b) NPO's government is the most pathetic and paranoid bunch of people I've ever had the misfortune to lay my eyes on. Even worse than Leo tbh. The issue with that is, however, that their regular members don't have half a brain and their response to any kind of criticism is "i'M jUsT fOlLoWinG oRdErS". To have the audacity to lie and bullshit us this much even in the war declaration that basically could just say "Hey you were all correct, IQ hasn't split" is pathetic. And that TCW, t$, and all the other alliances who have joined you in recent months are supporting this, is pathetic as well. And save you the "salty" comments. You're all intelligent enough to know that this is correct and accusing people criticising you of being salty is just lazy.

Mate, if you guys had just kept your noses clear of this entire war no one would have had any more of an issue with you than people always have with spheres that aren't their own. Any animosity you are facing is of your own making due to your, frankly, appalling handling of this entire thing. You have, basically, done everything to ensure that people would be the most upset with you. Had you stayed out, most people would have been chill. Had you kept to the limited engagement, most people would have been mildly annoyed, but at least you would have kept your word and not fully entered. Had you entered completely straight away people would have been pissed about it, true, but at least you would have made the move honestly. Instead you chose this weird ass way of going about things that, as I said, I don't think could make you look worse, even if you tried...

Apologies folks. I can't spoiler things properly. ? Hello. I see we seem to have gotten everyone's panties twisted up again. Let's clear things up. Before I dive into this post, I just want to point out how absolutely hilarious it is to shift goals from "logs" to "REAL TOTALLY NOT FAKE ABSOLUTELY AUTHENTIC logs". But whatever. Let's begin. Below is a collection of logs. They are split into three spoilers. Spoiler one shows a very, very recent conversation with Adrienne just a few minutes ago. The first log is Adrienne telling me that at no point in time was there a plan to attack IQ/NPO. Log two shows Adrienne telling me that attacking IQ/NPO was not a consideration at all in the formation of Chaos Bloc. Spoiler two contains logs of plotting to drag allies from NPO/IQ side, as well as to hit them. Spoiler three contains logs of, again, essentially weakening NPO (independent of IQ)'s powerbase, as well as a log relating to the plan to preempt N$O. It also contains a log regarding Adrienne's thoughts on engaging with N$O.

These are the logs Roq is talking of I can 100000% guarantee they are not fake and I have 69420 IQ

I'm sorry, what?

WHAT THE SHITTY SHIT SHIT IS THIS? I have signed nothing, you attack us with some bullshit, then decide to peace us because you are sick of us kicking the living shit out of you. Then have the gall to sign my name without permission. Who the hell do you think you are? That being said, Ill allow it, for now...

What I don't understand is, you already have basically the entire game in IQ. Why bother lying about some ridiculous plan of TKR wanting to roll you? Especially after you (or t$ more specifically), finally managed to convince us the split was genuine. Just be honest and say you're coming in to help your friends and I guess curb the one group that could possibly threaten you, if post-war we managed to spend enough time off each others throats to want to collab again. I can see why KETOG might want a piece of you after the war given how you just hit their allies when they couldn't respond. What reason we would have to take on a massive war against a non-threat in vengeance for non-allies, I have no idea.

Seems like desperation finally revealed IQ 2.0. Congratulations, House Stark and Syndicate for your new membership.

I haven't talked with Rose too much in the recent past but I gotta say, mad, mad, MAD props for entering on a war and being so consistent in your stance that you can literally drop your member announcement as a stand-in for your FA stance. That's awesome.

I know. I am not in NPO ?

Why is it that the same people who complain we need more war get upset when there is more war - just simply because it's not the type of war or conditions of war that they specifically want? Honestly, regardless of the meme propaganda - which I have every right to create as this is a game and its hilarious to create propaganda as I've done for any side of the war I've been on throughout the years, I've def been a strong advocate for political change - shit never actually changes regardless of what side a LARGE alliance goes on. If you stop caring about that shit and worrying about hegemony and the 'end' of this game and realize that the end of this game happened a long while before a massive hegemony was a 'thing' - then you'd be better off. I just guarantee the same people who say "It's Politics & WAR!" are the same people getting pissed about an alliance joining the war. Feel free to downvote, the hive mind of this trash community can't think beyond the selfishness of their particular predicament anyway.

Before everything gets lost in the ensuing shitshow this move and thread becomes, I appreciate this wordplay and this should have been the title of the DoW.

>No one hits NPO and gives them benefit of the doubt when logs were leaked of their possible involvement in rolling KETOG >NPO tries to forcefully enter the war on BK sphere but KETOG plays by the terms given to them and doesn't go to war with NPO >NPO proceeds to then enter the war because they are sick of the fact they have no justification and BK sphere isn't doing too well >NPO complains that everyone is now against them after entering the war on the side that has most the game > Frawley then says might as well bring IQ back cause clearly everyone wanted us dead Yeah whatever NPO, you can lie all you want. You guys have some serious issues where you think everyone is gonna kill you or you know fully well that you're making power moves. Either way, we don't believe you and your justifications still do not add up.

I like how the point of that meme is that you'd be an idiot to think N$O wouldn't back BK up

Only NPO could attack another alliance then tell them to their faces that they started it...

This will go down as one of the most pathetic and obvious beta move in history. Enjoy whats next.

NPO having an awkward conversation with BK and t$

Imagine NPO's surprise when BK and the blob, switch sides, and everyone attacks NPO. You thought the Chaos War was bait for BK, all the wars, all the sniping back and forth over the last month, have just been bait for NPO! Hook, line, and sinker.

Don't let Tiberius' idiocy distract you from the fact that in June 2019 NPO tried to kill the game.

Yeah and we all know why you did that, to lower your rep count and stay out of my rep range, I bet there are logs of this

I’m just glad Dio showed that IQ never disbanded.

Imagine making a forum account to post about the opposition being salty.

No guys you don't get it this is a fake was by NPO they plan to hit BK after this is just to get down their infrastructure. Also IQ disbanded.
