  1. Sheepy if you weren't aware this kind of action you are considering taking is called admin abuse. You are purposely using your almighty powers to help one side over the other because one side thought of doing something first and the other cried and moaned about it (We all know Pre did this why act like he didn't). You also do this all the damn time but I feel like restating it a billion times will eventually help you realize what it is. You can't purposely stay this closely involved in the game and expect your player base to stay. You already pushed so many of us already do you really want to push more of us away? I suggest let Pre !@#$ and moan until he tires himself out. It works very effectively on my 5 year old nephew and Pre is basically acting like a 5 year old.

  2. I won't judge them yet.  I haven't seen them actually function as a coalition or alliance.  But so far all signs point to a not so great set of leaders.

     

    SK without tenages has been in many wars. I'll summarize the ones I remember off the top of my head.

     

    The war where steve and partisan had a hard on - SK purposely attacked the wrong alliance (because they didn't want to participate in our war plans as a sphere, I'm not even joking about that) and in their DoW stated they were fighting everyone which resulted in them getting rolled by Alpha (Seriously)

     

    Next war (NPO one?) - They !@#$ed out of taking a side (Expected at the time)

     

    New kids on the block war (one where they had just switched from syndisphere to paragon) - They declared on t$ and got decimated by t$. I was personally pissed at this one because they were just former allies and I thought it was !@#$ed up.

     

    This conflict - they did nothing

     

    There's a trend to everything and SK without Tenages is awful at the game.

  3. You know this conflict really shows how terrible SK has become since Tenages stepped down. I still miss Tenages though. He was the best ally you could ask for.

     

    Anyway SK isn't the same SK it was when it was first allied to Mensa. Something something SK sucks. Blah blah be a real ally and go balls deep as soon as shit hits the fan like you're supposed to. Also not being militarized and ready for a fight just shows how inactive your gov actually is since literally every war can be seen from a mile away.

  4. What are you talking about? Not sure what you are reading into.

     

    "I had my suspicions that maybe some in the Mensa community and gov didn't appreciate this, and moreso appreciated the likes of tS/TKR/BK/Guardian rolling with them directly." How exactly is talking about the suspicions I held and possibilities that I had considered, spin? I think it is pretty clear that I am speaking about my own opinion at the time, based on my talks with Pfeiffer. Besides is it really that controversial to say that some in Mensa grew closer to Syndicate, Guardian, BK and TKR because they rolled with you against Rose, as opposed to us who opted to help you from the sidelines and make sure you weren't countered? Like I said, I felt that this could of been a possibility. Nowhere did I say that you had picked a side... 

     

    And I was gone for a short while (funnily enough in the most critical time period), that doesn't mean I am ignorant of what took place. While I did not agree with Hans in regards to going after tS, I completely understand why he would take tS's attempts at convincing us that they won't hit us with a grain of salt.

     

    We bailed tS out in the war with Guardian and co without an obligation to do so -- and worked well with them actually. Literally after that, they started to plot to have us rolled next, despite giving us multiple assurances that this won't happen. You can't blame Hansarius on considering past precedent, when they had given us assurances of not attacking us whilst proactively plotting against us before.

  5. Cynic actually spoke to me directly about the leaks, so the info did not come from VE.

     

    Just to give some context: UPN had a good relationship with VE, and we assumed with tS -- due to us deciding to jump into the Guardian v VE war, when they were the dominant side without a treaty and an obligation to. After the war was over we were on the verge of signing a treaty with VE. At the time I was running UPN's FA and some real life stuff came up and I wasn't online for a few days, in which Impero made the decision to act and the group of tS/VE/Rose came about. Funnily enough it was Rose's inclusion that was the most surprising.

     

    Anyway our relationship with VE was still good, even though we understood at some point down the line we will clash, as a natural consequence of us being in the two biggest blocs/spheres at the time. However VE gave assurances that they appreciated the help with Guardian, and that they will not attack us any time soon for the sake of attacking and gaining power. Whereas tS wanted exactly that, and saw it silly to hold off on what they saw as the inevitable when they had the advantage, which was true because I knew our only chance of winning that war was going to be if they break apart -- although I assumed it would be tS/VE and Rose splintering at first. Anyway tS wanting to go after UPN as soon as, and VE disagreeing and wanting to go after the likes of TEst instead is what drove the wedge between them I believe.

     

    In the end tS left Paragon, and we had a legit CB to hit them, and they were vulnerable -- but we didn't. Shortly after we signed an MDP with Mensa and Mensa signed with tS at the same time, and then the Proxy War happened, and while we did not enter on their behalf in the war, we essentially made sure that Mensa were not countered in it and that's a big reason why they were able to do as well as they done. I had my suspicions that maybe some in the Mensa community and gov didn't appreciate this, and moreso appreciated the likes of tS/TKR/BK/Guardian rolling with them directly.

     

    After the war UPN was a clear #1, allied to the key players of all spheres. This is in and around the time where Pre would complain on the radio that we were tied to around 80% of the top 15 or whatever the stat was. Anyway we had reasons to believe that Mensa saw themselves as part of the "Syndisphere group", and that Syndicate were going to target us in the future. I took a break from the game again, and UPN had decided to proactively go after Syndicate to prevent them from getting us in the future, and this is the mistake that defined the game I feel and made UPN lose its position of power. Stats wise UPN was seen as some sort of hegemoney, even though the stats didn't give an accurate presentation of everything -- but for that reason I feel like the likes of Alpha and Arrgh decided to get involved in the conflict. Also going head on against the Syndicate ment that we lost the Mensa treaty, which to me was really important -- because I knew that we needed them onside. (Another problem is that the relationship was heavily based on just me and Pfeiffer, as opposed to the two alliances).

     

    So yeah from my perspective at least I feel like not hitting tS when we hard clear evidence of them coming after us, then protecting Mensa from getting countered in the war, meaning they grew relatively stronger to many but not helping them directly meaning that they saw their other allies as closer to them, and then finally going into Syndicate head on, which further consolidated that sphere, and we lost the war in devastating fashion and were subject to big reparations, were the combined factors in the "Syndisphere" becoming dominant.

     

     

    You thought you had the treaty agreed. A few of our government members who were pro-Syndicate decided to try and push the treaty under the table without consulting all of the government members. So there wasn't even an official vote for it. I can't recall the specifics of it, but I remember tS being in some sort of potential trouble in and around at this time -- and in my head it seemed that tS just appear during these times to try and get more support. Anyway my problem with it was that I felt some of the government were doing shady shit so I called them out in the government forums and Hans raised the issue with the membership, of which the majority agreed that they did not want the tS treaty.

     

    The feeling was that we will judge you on your actions as opposed to your words, as trusting your words had been detrimental to us in the past. So when we put a stop to the treaty talks, but said we are open to further discussion and will judge you based on your actions, you literally attacked us in like a week lol. Which is obviously fair enough from a strategic point of view, but left a sour taste in our mouths.

     

    And for the record the pro-tS guys who tried to push the treaty through without following the procedures and consulting all the gov ended up forming a splinter alliance after losing the elections and signed a protectorate with tS.

     

     

    The government do vote on their treaties, after a discussion. That was why the tS thing fell through, because some people tried to push it through without a discussion with all of the government and advisors, and without an official vote.

     

    -Spinning shit to sound like Mensa already had picked a side for octoberfest

     

    kek

     

    Saru you weren't there so I am more than willing to provide logs if asked but we were trying very hard to avoid the conflict that UPN started. t$ even made great strides to please your stubborn leadership into believing they had no interest in hitting any ally's ally. Also we brought you both into a channel and said don't start a fight because the person that starts it is gonna get dropped and !@#$ed hard by us. It's not your fault Saru it was 100% Han's fault for being a dumbass so the fall of UPN as you mention can all be blamed on the leader you guys just reelected. Everything else is speculation and mostly wrong related to Mensa.

     

    Good day.

  6. If you were comfortable with the rationale for last war and the rationale for this one isn't good enough for you, there isn't going to be some kind of fun explanation that fulfills you emotionally and enriches you spiritually.

     

    I think you are asking the wrong person that question. As a member of Mensa, we all feel the same about war: we don't give a !@#$ what the reason is as long as it happens and isn't shit. For real though our rationale to roll GPA was for cash to rebuild.

  7. Partisan, if you go back to the original post you'll realize that I didn't even mention tS and left the post pretty broad. Now considering up until that point it was TUGT venting dislike for one member of an entire alliancemostly Mensa with the problem it was mainly directed at himthem but you and Manthrax for some reason believed it was directed at you.

     

    If you read up before your post you'll even see me accept an explanation from Wilhelm, so no I am not the tS boogeyman :P

     

    Stop being so paranoid lol.

     

    FTFY fam. I also fixed some misspells but we can leave those between us two.  ;)

  8. Mods here are shit no doubt. I stopped reading these forums just because of the mods.

     

    Anyway you can't vote on someone you don't know because sheepy won't tell us who the mods are because some people are afraid to be dicks to people who could roll them. I'd gladly be the first public mod and I'd have no issue warning people for being dibshits. 

  9. Oooh my turn to post and feel important.

     

    First, our surrender was better.

     

    Second, the terms aren't harsh they're just... Long. Also GPA could just rebrand and be free of the terms. All terms are bound to the alliance GPA. What made GPA GPA has mostly left.

     

    Third, to the guy complaint that Mensa ruined a part of the game and was silly enough to spend 100-150 bucks. The problem is GPA lacks true leadership. To be neutral and safe you need some savvy, active, charismatic leadership. If you guys were run by liked members of the community, or at least respected political figures you would be a much more secure alliance. Also they did little to prep you for a fight other than "have lots of resources and units". A big dick is great and all, but if you're Rubbish in the sack it doesn't matter.

     

    Fourth, our surrender was better.

     

    You're just peanut butter and jealous
