Stay classy, man.

Some of us (including WTF's allies in the initial stage of things, and Singularity & Co. no doubt) started fighting this war in December 20th are getting a kick out of some of these replies. Well fought/played everyone. The P&W servers suffered under the strain.

Exhibit 'A' was handed to me by someone in my alliance, so I volunteered to bring it here. Doesn't look kosher I guess.

Clearly you believe you have all the answers...to everything. You used to be a bit more humble than that. As I say, times change. For the record, I'm MILCOM for World Task Force, not some random dude. We were already working on a plan to come to TCM's defense when your fancy coalition hit us, and were well within our rights to demand CoA jump in immediately in our defense, and ask Aurora and RoL to do the same. Instead, an alternative plan was devised in consultation with CoA--effectively we would hold until relieved. It meant that no one would be countering on our behalf for more or less two rounds. Two rounds wasn't forever, perhaps we could knockout some vital military improvements along the way, and we knew that when relief came it would be well worth it. Not sure why you hit UPN and USN. Seemed a bit silly. Hitting TCM made sense because it drew us in and maybe you hoped that CoA would immediately jump in as well, and TLE made sense only because they were tied to TCM. If you declared on SAIL first, that's vanity on your part. You were already about to get rolled and you probably knew it.

Oh you have a point, just not where you think it is.

The NAP meant that we spent a couple of quality rounds with our defensive slots filled. Price of war. Worth it.

We'll agree to disagree disagree on it being funny. If I ask you (someone I don't know well) to take a picture of me with my cell phone in front of a monument and you instead run off with my phone, that's not funny either. Should have I trusted you with it? Sadly these days, no. But that doesn't make what you did right either. Now of course running off with someone's cell phone is illegal in the real world, and running off with someone's bank is technically not a ToS violation or against the rules on Orbis, but if your impulse control is that bad, you've got serious issues. If someone wants to do something about it in game, they are well within their rights to do so.

Or Singularity why they went an hero against a collection of relatively unimportant alliances. Also, do your research next time. Last alliance that tried to roll World Task Force got hell countered out of them and they got wrecked. Oh hey, YOU are getting the hell countered out of you and you're getting wrecked too, imagine that. WTF has friends. Friends with guns. Lots of guns. You're just the next object lesson as far as we're concerned.

Says someone who is a walking, talking meme. You seem to have a fixation with sex. There's good therapy out there, man. Good luck.

Singularity, "the state, fact, quality, or condition of being singular". meaning one. Don't worry champ, some day you'll be able count as high as he can.

Still pissed that your AA gunners shot down one of my nukes and a missile, and I didn't burn off more of your infra I see. Perfectly understandable. So I arranged for a few friends to show up and take care of that for you. I'm sure they'll do a better job. Enjoy!

There was a time if I came here to hail a DoW by The Syndicate, you would have wondered what was wrong with me. But times change. Welcome to the party. Good hunting!

Oh they do, and he rebuilds. I mentioned the part about him following his own spirit animal, right?

It was 3900, and he follows his own spirit animal. In a weird way, I respect that. 😆

The days of Oblivion rolling WTF are long over, as are the days of WTF being raid bait. I'd tell you to ask the last alliance that thought we were raid bait how that worked out, but they aren't an alliance anymore. Sad part is, there were people within that alliance that realized it was a bad idea, but they were ignored. As for our current situation, we're just getting warmed up. 🙂 Merry Christmas to you as well.

The opinion of a member of a Pokemon themed protectorate of t$ and Oblivion, which appears to get raided about as often as it raids, is duly noted.

I hated the Matrix sequels. 🙄

Whatever it may be, let's just hope there is no math involved. 🙄

For the younglings out there, because I know that long time players tend to just assume that everyone knows the Unwritten Rules of Orbis (tm), when you are considering applying to an alliance, ask what their departure policy is up front. Some will insist on the repayment of loans before you leave (and grants if you leave before you've been a member for a minimum number of days), some will pursue you as a deserter and attack your nation if you leave mid-war. You can avoid a whole lot of grief.

What I'm getting out of all this is that Alan expected TCM to be a debt collection agency to rescue him from his bad loan decisions.

I would really like to get Cypher's side of all this. Sounds pretty serious and involves multiple issues. Deraj, from what I've heard of the Graybird situation, and I've heard multiple stories about it at this point, you were going to be damned either way. There's no way you can say anything about it that won't get judged harshly unless you head bob with the mob, however noble your motivation. Yes, that would have made you one of the torch carriers. But issues like this one rarely get talked about logically. Just my observation, as stated I don't know what the facts in evidence are for certain, just the rumors.
