What a quaint use of an expression that is at least 15 years old. Allow me to retort in the same manner.

Hint: it wasn't the best keep secret on Orbis. The "sneaky" part was the timing. Please try to keep up. You really aren't prepared to match wits with me, son. Go play with your friends and have a nice night.

I just see a bunch of people launching a sneak attack on another bunch of people during a time period where many of the people in the target alliance are away from their computers celebrating a holiday. But if GPA was planning to use economics as a weapon, they wouldn't even be the first alliance to do so. Have fun I suppose.

I'm not sure we all agree what lessons from (That terrible game that is totally irrelevant and I shouldn't be bringing it up anyways) we should have gotten. For some people I think there has been a genuine effort to do things very differently, from others it seems it's more "do what we did there, but do it better". I'd be curious however to hear what you think we should be doing differently.

Peace mode isn't designed to work that way in (That terrible game that is totally irrelevant and I shouldn't be bringing it up anyways) either, Gandhi. Do yourself a favor. Join GPA or a similar neutral alliance. Get some more experience. Then when you are ready to create your own neutral/not-so-neutral alliance (and I sense you aren't), make sure you have some sort of protection for it before you declare its existence. Good luck out there and remember that pixels grow back, I promise.

More alliances should take this advice. Actually more people should take this advice. Good luck to Rose going forward.

I'm sure that Sparta is devastated by your analysis.

Nuclear Weapons: 0 Launched: 7 Eaten: 11 I'm thinking that it's more of an envy thing with you.

We have worked out a peace settlement that includes a NAP. NAC has quite enough war on its plate already, thanks. I wish SD the best in their future development.

It cost them their protectorate status with Rose. It may cost them even more in the end.

Welcome to the grind.

Keeping it simple. Mensa Inc declared war upon UPN. Defensive clauses activated with NAC. Let's do this.

This looks like fun. o/ UPN o/ DEIC o/ Polaris o/ NAC

This sheep has horns. Good. Watching hippies get slaughtered is boring.

Meh, late to the party in a thread that has gone on way too long already. So I committed a party foul and skipped some of the middle. You'd think people would have had a belly full of OOC horseshit over at the dying planet and not brought it here. That said, posting an image in really, really bad taste is not an OOC attack per se, at least I hope we can agree that rape isn't tolerated on Orbis. Perhaps too we've all learned a valuable lesson about using image files we don't own/control... As for the NAP, unless t$ has big plans for attacking Alpha again in the next 90 days once the shooting stops, why not give Alpha their NAP? Hell, include a provision that makes the NAP conditional on both sides maintaining civility toward one another. After all, isn't the real point of this war to punish Alpha for being uncivil? Just trying to be helpful, technically I don't even have a dog in this fight.

So how about listing some terms? Unless you are saying that the terms are simply to admit defeat, which seems reasonable.

I've heard that. o/ UPN o/ Shuriken

This peace is good to see. o/ Alpha o/ TEst

Congratulations and continued success.

So basically at this point we're watching a cat video being put up one frame at a time, is that it?

Hello Orbis! Join NAC!

Every forum has to have a Methrage. I think it's a U.N. resolution or something. Hereno is that for Orbis.

We are indeed clear on the specifics. What I'm not clear on why this treaty is even remotely controversial. Arrgh has a lot of things to worry about now that don't include a somewhat reduced menu selection.

Look on the bright side, since they won't be raiding the listed alliances, they are now freer to raid yours. Be sure to hail them each time.
