Prefontaine

For those who asked. This is why.

The Butthurt is strong with this one. Apparently DEIC losing the war and Diabolos losing his pixels was far too much for his fragile state. Normally I'd simply handle the rogue privately however in light of Diabolos's former alliance standing we require a brief announcement. Anyone found aiding, or accepting Diabolos into their alliance shall be committing an act of war against Guardian, that is all. Don't help or shelter him until we're done with him.

Unfortunately this is not a court of law, it's a court of public opinion. GPA has thrown around comments like "the burden of proof is on PB", "Innocent until proven guilty", and things of that tone. Simply because you cannot prove something does not mean public opinion won't fall one way or another. It also doesn't make it meaningless. This is why I asked about motive earlier.

Based on Cynics sig, roll republik2015.

Well PB claims his spy kill count went up during a certain time frame. Whether that attack was against PB or not is what's not clear. I know Guardian's also done investigating like that to find out who was spying on us, he does have 9 spy kills so those had to come from some place. EDIT: Also, you're in a tough spot. Defend it may give credence, ignoring it could produce even more negative results. Not a great spot. Damned if you do damned if you don't sort of thing.

I don't know if anyone has asked this yet, but what do you hope to accomplish by this thread PB? Is your goal to have him removed from gov for committing what you view as a non-neutral act? Are you hoping to unite alliances against GPA because they've showed a willingness to be non-neutral? Is this to slander them? What was the conclusion you were hoping for when you created this thread? I'm not saying you're right, or GPA's right, or anything. I'm simply asking for motive and goal right now. And to GPA, what do you have to say to those who claim this shows you as non-neutral? You've missed the window to show Bel didn't already perform a spy action that day and thus we can never have proof really. So all you have now is people deciding for themselves on who to believe. The doubt has been cast with no way to confirm one way or another, so how do you address the doubt besides simply denying it exists?

Military gov type doesn't reduce food upkeep on soldiers so it's likely no gov type reduces costs of resources.

So, you guys just raiding inactives?

>Uses Guardian pip >Alliance name listed as The Syndicate --- Congrats VE and tS, even though you're both green, you kill the environment by using paper. Har har. In seriousness we've been working with tS since near their inception over here and have had good relations with them, VE we're getting to know and have had some recent contact that I think has brought our alliances a little closer. I'm glad to see two alliances which have my respect sign a treaty.

Amazing job Reagan. Great read.

Congrats Mortimer, I'm glad to see you in the drivers seat. You have my respect and well wishes.

I wonder how many people saw this post and before opening the thread were like "!@#$ YEAH PRE'S RETIRING".

You lose somewhere between 10-50 infra on a ground attack so lets take the average, 30. 30x6 is only 180 infra. Compared to some wars which went above 1000-2500 infra loss at their strength level. Yes, it's a good thing. Also a key factor here is the money, his teammates stole millions, which they could either give back to him to rebuild the modest amount of infra loss, or use to fight the current war. Post war both of their inactive nations were in the top 5 for the alliance (I believe one was #1 or #2), now only in the top 7. That shows how effective missing one round of war was for them. When you're winning an alliance war, you don't want to beige them generally.

I can answer that with a war declaration if you'd like. I'M FEELING FRISKY TONIGHT!

They're also protected by me.

I found the alliance I join when I leave Guardian.

So is TC done with now, I mean it's only two alliances?

Let me know when it's your daughters wedding day.
