Hello, it's me, the guy whose point you're proving.

Seems like a bit of a mischaracterization to me. Nobody got upset with you for not knowing things. People got upset with you for not knowing things but asserting that you most assuredly do know things.

The war ends when your coalition becomes sufficiently apologetic for deciding to sic its most prolific shitposters on us.

~160 offensive wars since Nov. 6th / 33 members = <5 offensive wars per nation "high intensity fighting"

We're talking about a guy who just several posts earlier was saying "well actually IQ was good", so his credibility to make any point was pretty much shot at that point. Further, his main points were bad.

folks

There's a first time for everything.

I, for one, am so gratified to have your pity. 🤮

🤢

not enough infra

Yes, your expectation here is that, even if it's true, someone in Hedge is going to come to this merciless hellhole and openly admit they were planning an aggressive war? Is that what you think is going to happen?

I figured as much. That's a privilege reserved for people on your side

Yes, and one of those interpretations necessitates ignoring like a decade and a half of nation sim history about what terms like "countering X's growth" means. And once again, are you going to take whatever that person would say at face value? If so, your analysis again boils down to "Swamp and Hedge said they had no interest in an aggressive war!" and your job is done.

This goes back to my earlier post about the simplest answer usually being true. In order for your interpretation of events to be true, both of those people would have had to clearly misinterpret the not-too-ambiguous "countering Quack's growth".

surely you realize that these screenshots reveal someone looking to confirm their own preconceived notion of how the events unfolded? and furthermore go to show that you are willing to simply take anything your own coalition leaders say at face value while not only not affording our coalition the same privilege, but denying the aforementioned slew circumstantial evidence in our favor? it's not that I blame you for this - anyone would do the same in your position (or would simply choose not to speak). but to do so, you'll need to drop this pretense of being in some pursuit of truth and peace, and just admit to being a shill for your side like 99% of the other inhabitants of this wasteland

When you put it that way, it sounds more like the war was declared against TCW for past grievances, which would qualify as revenge, which I would define in far different terms than I would define preemptively declaring against a pre-assembled coalition who were planning to attack us anyway.

Dude i've spent the vast majority of the last 8 months at home. this is the most entertainment I get. The optional aggression component of the Swamp Bloc treaty necessarily refutes this claim. In all seriousness though, it's almost farcical to say something like that. "The every essence of Swamp is defensive in nature" he says literally three months after Swamp and Hedge aggressively dogpile TCW.

are we the people pushing him around for his cherry cola?

You are agreeing with me in that despite weeks of evidence mounting against the narrative you have so painstakingly constructed, you are basing your belief that Swamp did not want to strike first exclusively on what they said. Which, if the court reporter would please read my words back to me:

Your analysis literally boils down to "Quack declared war on reasonable suspicion of a coalition building against them. Despite a mountain of evidence, circumstantial and otherwise, coming to light before and after their DoW, I am instead choosing to take the verbal denials from Swamp at face value". You must be able to see why people aren't taking you seriously?

You have devoted countless walls of text to create a story which requires assumption upon assumption to check out. The simplest answer will usually suffice. What is the simple answer here? Three of the four spheres in the game secretly agreed to what amounts to M-level treaties, forming a de facto coalition before the outbreak of war. In the history of this game, and others like it, coalitions don't form as a precaution. You build a coalition because you plan to do something with it. What is the only thing you can do with a coalition that comprises three of the four spheres in the game? Roll the outlier sphere. But by all means, keep up with this mental gymnastics routine. That post count isn't going to up itself.

And here I thought he only did it to us.

damn i bet you thought you did something here
