Grammar is not that powerful.

I for one am looking forward to seeing what the narrative will be next week.

July 2019, and it resulted in Alex making an unwritten rule explicit within the game documentation. "And the award for Least-Relevant Non-Sequitur goes to..." You want to stick to discussing these current nonsensical accusations or what?

At no point was our bank in VM. It was stored in an offshore that remained active and attackable throughout the war. The head of The Foundation Bank went into VM. But that's not an offshore. And the bank's assets were distributed far and wide before he did so. No rules were at any time broken. None. No rules have been broken.

Ave Legio

I think I've spent more time this year beige than anything else, if I'm truly honest.

Hi pot. My name's kettle. Guess what colour I am?

I know. Hence the epic non sequitur that was your inital reply to me.

No. Because it is not relevant now. Quack feels the CB was valid. You will remain intransigent in your belief that it was not. That is not the point I was raising, making or addressing. It wasn't Quack that decided to make this conflict bipolar. It wasn't Quack that built a hegemony ahead of the war. Quack declared war on the people who appeared to be a threat. And the hegemony was revealed by the counters. How the war began, or however else it could have begun, the secret treaties ensured that it was always going to be a 1 vs 1, hegemony vs Quack conflict rather than the implied 3 vs 1 bloc war that better suits your side's narrative. Whatever you personally happen to think of the Quack's CB is entirely beside the point in this matter.

Right. Because the secret treaties weren't in place before the war started? Quack acted on intel which showed a clear and present threat. When war looks imminent of course you're going to engage in a way more favourable to you. That's not paranoia, that's prudent planning. You guys ensured it was always going to be a bipolar conflict well ahead of time. That was apparent when uninvolved spheres immediately countered for no apparent reason. That's all on you.

QUACK MAN BAD!!! Keeps ruining a good narrative with facts...

All we're really trying to do at this point is figure out whether you're impervious to facts or simply oblivious to reality. And which one you'll fall back on when you start your next thread so we can place bets and turn a profit.

We didn't properly think this peace through! The real question we all need to answer now that this has concluded... What will @Phoenyx post about now?

Peas in our thyme

There was a war on?

I changed what you said, fixing it in the process. You and any other number of people are more than welcome to believe the sky is purple and that it rains Swiss cheese on the third Friday of every month, if you so choose. Doesn't much change the facts, however.

Fixed that for you.

I would like to take a moment to thank everybody that managed to attend. I for one had an absolute blast. Congrats to our Assassins Guild winner, im poor. Thank you to Daveth and Zygon for being interviewed on our radio show. The Uno War was fun. If I learned anything this year, it's that Children on Leashes will always win at CAH. See you all next year!

Didn't you used to maintain a perma-CB against anything even remotely Islamic?

There is a GATO embassy? Where's it hiding?

I surrender. I can no longer defend myself against your aggression.

You rang? I am ready to accept your surrender.

A Tale of Two Hegemonies - We have a hegemony that formed to counter a supposed hegemony. The Secret War - because of all these secret, hidden treaties that existed ahead of time to allow it to happen.

I heartily endorse this product and/or service. Hitting Guilo is a victimless crime.
