    "Rescued"

    ODOO set terms and conditions on us for their entry that were undoubtedly beneficial to themselves. Their entry was self interest, a prid quo pro. By that point in the war, we had already taken all the damage we were going to take.

    Peace negotiations with SAIL and us would have taken place and been finished well before the extended war would have, had parties remained in the coalition instead of peacing out.

    We could have taken a long NAP and sat and allowed for things to play out without us. It would have been more beneficial for us to do so. We opted to make a deal that would prolong the conflict we had already been fighting for 2 months (preceding 2 months of fighting others) in order to make a move that would benefit all parties, That would have committed us to at least 5 months of straight war.

    The assertion that we were rescued from anything is laughable. I'm not going to expand on what your terms were, despite the various wild claims being made here, but the fact is, you guys had a deal on the table that worked for you, and that is why you helped.

    And then you walked away from the deal. And very abruptly. We all know how much of a mess that was.

    As far as us being "angry" goes, I hadn't really intended to get involved in this discussion much. But certain claims were made here that required addressing, and I think it's interesting you guys have chosen to single us out, given everyone else who signed onto the nap, including alliances you claim to have good relations with, and, all in all, we owe you the least here besides perhaps Eclipse.

    TKR immediately planned to attack us as soon as the Fortuna war in which we fought together was over. And they did, bringing in Syndicate. That put us under a NAP cycle, the same one that prompted their entry into our war later on.

    TKR made a deal that, as I said earlier, was beneficial to them, in order to bring themselves in, and then when things got too hairy for them, struck a different deal behind our backs, and attempted to exclude us from the process, which would have inevitably left us in the same war they are purported to have rescued us from lmfao.

    These are all claims I can easily support with evidence, if I have to. Despite all this, we have not gone after or targeted you directly, this entire time. We could have easily sought revenge on TKR/ODOO for your previous attacks on us, we could have easily sought to align with people attempting to hit you this cycle, and, with this nap in place, we could easily align with the current coalition against you. Instead, we have, more than once, attempted to work with you, and find mutual common ground and cut deals with you that would work to our mutual benefit.

    But past behaviour is a pretty good indicator for future behaviour, and TKR has proven time and time again, that collaboration with you ends poorly for us.

    Perhaps you'd prefer me to sit alongside you, whisper sweet nothings in your ear, and pretend like I wasn't one of the alliances who signed onto the NAP? Given who you guys have chosen as the target of your ire here, it feels to me that you'd rather hear comfortable lies than brutal honesty.

    It's funny you say that you aren't mad when that comment prompted your WoT.   I can't say I find your complaining about us entering the war on our terms something worth responding too.  Or your quip about not being rescued even though you guys were still asking us to enter.   Or your whining about being at war for so long when you engaged in that infra shaving campaign of your own free will.   Thats on you.   You don't get to pull that out of a bag as a retort.

    The rest of your post is basically just you crapping on TKR and wanting to rehash your entire relationship with them it seems.   They can deal with that nonsense if they want too.  But maybe some have singled you guys out because you sure are doing a lot of talking about it.  As for past behaviors, do be careful not to throw stones from your glass house.

    Nah. I'm just pointing out that it doesn't really make sense, in my opinion, to claim activating a defensive clause that didn't exist at the start of the war. And, in my opinion, this should be a DoW not an RoH since we never attacked USN. Like I said, they can have fun trying to find slots. Good luck, have fun.

     

    (Also I am happy for the both of you that you have a new treaty)

    Would have been involved in the war if your shadow gov hadn't hijacked another AA and kept them out of the war but, good try!

    If you wanted to merge into Paradise, you could ask us more subtly. This is just far too forward. (Btw you need two tickets in order to get into Paradise)

    We could barely afford one ticket, kev.   Two is asking too much of us.

    I honestly expected to find more than I did when I looked. Good on the rest of TI, I'm not mad to be wrong about that. But those 2 that did do it also did it to me in the past, as I brought up earlier, which obscured what my actual stats would have been. I apologize to the rest of TI though that didn't sell down I'm glad I am wrong.

    But as far as those other 2 TI players that I did catch I am 100% not sorry. You guys suck.👎

    So...if it hadn't been the same two nations you would have found...4?   Out of 140?   Man, your argument just gets better and better.   We appreciate your apology though.

    Speaking of TI, are they really that slow on the uptick, or is it a timezone thing? Like, really? Y'all took FIVE HOURS to slot me. 
    FIVE. 

    The heck? I expected a quicker response from you all. Also who in the world at TKR thought it would be a good idea to go after us (Rose, that is) - from my understanding, you just lost a big war to Hands of Fate the other week, right? I paid a credit to slap this 10-minute creation up as a player ad.image.png.a1d300ab85677df86257e5419677ea31.png

    Wouldn't put any stock in the fact that we actually have a sizeable European membership or that we didn't give any warning.   But, as you were indeed slotted a mere, 2 turns later, I think it's just fine.

    That was more than enough confirmation for me, thanks. What a joke of an alliance. 🤣

    Your opinion is really important to us.  Please stay on the line for the next representative.
