[Apology to VE, from Tbomb]

[Admirable Alliance Traits]

I !@#$ ing hope not....those things are damn condescending!  "Ya know......even though you got butt-raped, curbstomped (insert whatever here), you guys are alright.....good luck on the rebuilds".  All the while they are laughing their asses off at their mom's house:

 

 

I'll have you know it's my mom and my dad's house. 

 

Living the dream.

 

[Legend of Rozalia Super 2]

Short too, not did read.

[Cornerstone's Priests Survey the Battlefield]

My suggestion is to not ever again go that high in infra. As you can see infra gets destroyed but cities stay forever.

 

A diamond city lasts forever.

[Cornerstone's Priests Survey the Battlefield]

Ours would look the same if this were happening to us.

[Cornerstone's Priests Survey the Battlefield]

We all had our different reasons for voting the way we voted, but the war vote won, and that's the vote we honor.

[Cornerstone's Priests Survey the Battlefield]

It's mutual with a non-chaining option with everyone except The Coalition, which is a straight mutual defense treaty. 

 

EDIT: And TLF, who we protect, which is more of a one-way thing.

[War is Chaos]

Notable CS Communications Blunders:

*The time the person in charge of our foreign affairs posted our mobilization orders on the OWF.

*How we have had to repeatedly tell everyone on Discord to stop posting or asking questions about intra-alliance talks on the public thread.

*The time some people from TKR thought we treatied with Rose to reform Paragon because of a joke treaty I posted on our allies chat thread despite making every effort to make it clear that it was a joke (speaking of which, Rose, if we do ever treaty it has to be called "Christ and Roses")

*The time a member leaked our talks about rolling BK (and our consensus about the fact that BK no longer exists since Curufinwe was named Emperor) that took place in the CS-BK talk thread to Curufinwe... who had participated in said talks.

 

You left out our most recent one.

[BoC joins the battlefield]

Welcome to the fight BoC! Good to see a friendly face.

[War is Chaos]

I was wondering when greatkitteh would show up and start heckling.

[Cornerstone's Priests Survey the Battlefield]

 

 

[Cornerstone's Priests Survey the Battlefield]

To be fair, we really weren't planning on it. We hope for a fast conclusion (but that could just be hoping) and have lots of respect for TEst and friends and still wish them the best.

[War is Chaos]

Despite earlier hoping to avoid it, numerous allies called us, our Senate voted affirmatively, and now we enter the chaos.

 

We have much respect for the military prowess of Terminus Est and friends, and wish them the best on Orbis and otherwise.

 

War is chaos.

 

o/ all involved

 

 

 

 

 

 

[Cornerstone's Priests Survey the Battlefield]

Nope, but it wasn't planned that way.

 

War is chaos.

[Cornerstone's Priests Survey the Battlefield]

That's pretty gay, dude.

 

 

No Christmas crusades?

 

We will have to see how things unfold, really.

[Name this war]

No YOURE A TOWEL!!!

 

[Cornerstone's Priests Survey the Battlefield]

Without abandoning our treaty partners and obligations therein, it is not much of a secret that we are trying to mostly stay out of the upcoming festivities due to some religious consensus among our leaders.

 

We still want to contribute, however, so we have decided to bless the battlefield before it becomes soaked in blood, gunpowder, and unexploded ordinance.

 

 

To our allies: we love you all.

 

To those who our allies will fight: may God smile upon you despite this war, you guys do make Orbis a more interesting place.

[I think I figured out the mystery.]

6/10 you forgot Princess Bubblegum

[Recognition of Hostilities]

And that's why I'm a beer guy if I even drink at all.

[Hold on to your panties]

You Kafir.

Never heard of her.

[Hold on to your panties]

Excuse me Kafir?

 

Who?

[Hold on to your panties]

My greatest fear in regards to this DoW is that since we already voted on best DoW's for 2016, and it's still technically 2016 and not 2017, that this DoW will never receive the fame or the credit that it's due.

 

We need to make sure we include this DoW on next year's voting for best DoW.

 

Pretty sure it will win.

[Recognition of Aggression]

It's rare that I agree with cornerstone so no wonder I'm disagreeing. 3 people attacking alpha is a raid party, not a mass raid. 

 

Saying "3 people" while technically correct is quite misleading:

 

[Recognition of Aggression]

Everybody knows Cornerstone and Alpha aren't exactly BFF's, but with that being said, the folks who say that Arrgh only launched one or two raids need to go check the war declarations logs against Alpha. 

 

Additionally, 

 

All raiders will be nuked. No questions asked. A mass raid by an alliance will be treated like a full-scale war and will be handled accordingly. 

 

^ It's not like Alpha didn't give a warning. Clearly they state on their alliance page how they plan to deal with a mass raid, which this definitely was, and so I'm not sure why folks are acting shocked that they did exactly what they stated they would do.

 

And yes, the international community should expect every alliance to take some degree of responsibility for what their members do.

 

 

[Cornerstone Announcement]

Wow, I'm honored that TEst considers us even worthy to ask us to such an event, but we generally have decided to keep all our fights "real" for the time  being.
