Congratz, welcome and good luck! 7K used to run some programs to help new alliances get going. I'm not sure what we do now. If you need anything, be sure to check us out on IRC. Believe me when I say we are all heartened to see new alliance springing up.

UPN, how do you react to charges that your offensive was unimpressive?
-
We declare war against TAC, in support of our allies in the The Covenant.
Do you suppose they were hoping you'd stay out of it? That was really TAC's ONLY path to victory.

What does "winning" mean?
Crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and hear the lamentations of their women.

Hilarious Diabolos! I like that one!

War of Purple Aggression got my vote. I really do like the War of Debatable Aggression too though.
-
Welcome. Hope you enjoy the game!

I vote for the War of Purple Aggression

The aggressor should only fight a war they can win, since they get to choose. Looks like EoS overestimated their own abilities and chose poorly. Calling on allies to help doesn't really seem wrong or anything, merely indicative of a failure to properly plan their war, unless it was always the plan to bring in reinforcements in a staggered fashion.

I still don't get why anyone cares about aggressive vs defensive. Dead bodies are dead bodies. Wrecked cities are wrecked cities.

TAC and the others who colluded against us.
Begin ominous music....

Winning always takes priority over "the good of the game...", whatever that expression means anyway.

This is a good idea, to list the status of the member. A member with higher level guild rank, such as officer or leader, would reflect a different message then just a member too, so beyond just application, the page could show their rank too.

I can already tell this thread will be golden.
It's not semantics and maybe you don't even know what that word means or the context it's used in. If some UPN/DEIC members would face reality then we could move on to something more interesting. What's funny about it is that I don't really have a problem with aggressive actions, but clearly you guys are sensitive to the issue for some reason.
LOL, and that's where I'm at. I've got no problem with an aggressive war, but the constant need to spin offense as defense is mind boggling.

lol, what Tenages said. Enjoy the fight UPN. This is what allies do.

It's the spheres that cause the problems. Sooner or later, !@#$ happens between them and they need the paper to wipe up the mess.
What happens if you're paperless and !@#$ happens? Sounds messy.

If planning how to deal with a huge bloc is plotting, might as well DoW everyone.

Attacking is aggressive. Why do we care about the optics? Why can't the aggressors own it? Aggression isn't always bad.

Infidel scum. The drowned god reigns supreme.

Reading books...I haven't read a book in 21 months. As a pure coincidence, my only child is 21 months old. But I'm sure there's no connection.

I don't think using force to "enforce rights" abroad will ever work. Human Rights are a basic part of the "Social Contract" in a state. The people there can handle it. Maybe not every people is ready for the same level of rights as certain European countries.
-
Presumptive "opt out" donations seem fair. Religious folks who have beliefs about their body needing to be whole can opt out. @ssholes can opt out. I don't think mandatory donations are fair. As the second post said, if its mandatory, its not a donation.

The United States has a lot of religious fundamentalist extremists too.
They think Gods law is the only law they have to follow.
They want their faith taught in schools to every student.
They want to imprison people who don't share their faith.
They want to kill people who violate their interpretation of their Holy Book.
They believe revolution and violence is their birthright.
They think women must dress modestly.
Eradication by murder isn't what I was suggesting. I'm suggesting wiping out fundamentalists by confronting their backward beliefs as publically and frequently as possible. And lets face it, they are violence-prone, so when they get their gun, you get yours and we can settle it like Ironborn.
As for ISIS, I am a believer in Colin Powell's famous "you break it, you bought it" line about Iraq. We're responsible. Its our fault, and it sucks that we might need to see our soldiers keep dying there, but we need to make it right.

Nationalism is the epitome of "rooting for the home team". Its the most basic "us versus them" mentality. Nationalism is a way for craven politicians to distract their constituencies from the real issues at home and funnel their anger at an outsider. Nationalism is a sickness for weak minds.
When the cards fall badly though, we all revert to Nationalism. Its like a psychological weakness. Actually, its seemingly a positive evolutionary trait to want to murder strangers and take their stuff. Those without that trait, got killed and didn't pass their genes on. Its up to us now to break the bonds of a million years of stranger killing.
Well played, Cornshuckers. Maybe we should have a spelling contest.

Better to argue about that then to argue about the size of TAC's cornhole growing exponentially from the pounding its getting.
I mean, its gotta be getting pretty loose. I hear there are good reconstructive surgeons though.
