Bambino Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 *Bambino Sighs* Good to know we can at least count on BK to be solidly in the Syndisphere and oppose us even when we actively sought to not have a war. RIP BK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiber Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 This really shows how crap BK is. I wouldn't be able to respect them at all if it wasn't for the fact that they have the best IA department in the game. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Curufinwe Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 Why did you agree to backstab two allies all because The Syndicate told you to? Hey, there's the hate Yoso was missing earlier Anyways, I'll go ahead and dispute both parts of your statement - 1) that we 'betrayed' Polaris and UPN and 2) that we are somehow tS's puppet (which literally comes up every war, but okay). 1) I think we can all agree that hitting the allies of allies has become fairly standard Orbesian practice at this point. Given the convuluted nature of the treaty web everyone is tied to everyone else at several removes - Alpha itself (for example) is now two steps removed from tS through Sparta's agreement with Guardian, while BK is one step removed from Alpha through its agreement with Polaris. Therefore, everyone is tied to everyone to some degree (except paperless AAs) and every aggressive move poses the risk of 'betraying' someone, unless you a) neglect to sign treaties or Orbis develops two or more distinct and discrete spheres that do not overlap in any way. While the latter may be desirable, we're certainly not there yet, so I'd argue that these situations are unavoidable during times of conflict. Moreover, it's not like we're setting a precedent here - UPN hit tS and SK during Oktoberfest (BK and DEIC's allies respectively), UPN also hit TKR during the Bored War (BK's bloc partner), while Alpha itself hit SK and the Chola during Bored as well (who were tS allies, who you were allied with at the time). So while it's regrettable that NPO was treatied with several of our partners, I'd argue that our offensive (which at this point is confined entirely to NPO) is directed at them and no one else and that no 'betrayal' took place - we certainly bear Polaris and UPN (who I assume you're referencing) no ill will. 2) BK is not, nor is it planning to become, tS's puppet. We are not secretly controlled by Partisan or the other Syndicate gov members and we do not allow them any role in our internal governmental deliberations. We do of course value them as an ally, but BK makes its own FA decisions based on its own interests, as all AAs should. As it happens, in this case our interests are aligned - the consolidation of a (most likely) hostile sphere that could potentially target OO posed enough of a risk to our security that we opted to defend our interests by striking before it could muster its strength to attack us, nothing more and nothing less. As another potential victim of future aggression, tS also had a stake in pre-empting the likely conflict, which explains our decision to coordinate our response. This is not so much a case of one AA 'controlling' another as two independent (but connected) actors working together to try to ensure their future safety, which is how I would characterize BK-tS relations more broadly.

Foltest Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 (edited) Why did you agree to backstab two allies all because The Syndicate told you to? NPO's strategy of shielding themselves using treaty conflictions didn't work, and now you're trying to play the moralist. Placentica pls. *Bambino Sighs* Good to know we can at least count on BK to be solidly in the Syndisphere and oppose us even when we actively sought to not have a war. RIP BK. Just because you tried to keep us neutral to better roll our other allies doesn't mean we were going to let you. If you're looking for the shitty ally, look at the people who signed with our soon-to-be-enemy on the eve of war.

If you're looking for the shitty ally, look at the people who signed with our soon-to-be-enemy on the eve of war. That's fine. Just be OK with how it's all going to shake out. As far as soon to be enemies and what not, the NPO treaty happened before UPN was even aware of all the crap that was spilling over from out of game sources. If you're going to insult our choices of allies, at least be honest. We didn't even give the warning to start prepping for war until it was clear that something was happening on your side. If we're going to talk about shitty allies, let's look at BK and them not honoring the information sharing that UPN wasn't going to be hit. I get it, it'd betray your overlords t$ and you can't have that because it'd leave you to hang into the wind once this all shakes out, but let's be honest about who the really shitty ally is here in this case rather than throwing the blame on us.

Linus Vulp Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 (edited) If we're going to talk about shitty allies, let's look at BK and them not honoring the information sharing that UPN wasn't going to be hit. Your alliance was attacked this morning. There is your information sharing. UPN could still join us, im sure we could find some targets for you guys Edit: Did you really expect not to be hit after your active posting members were pro NPO and against t$? This was the best option, you would have been on the other side in a few days. Edited June 14, 2016 by Linus Vulp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My oh my, look at this! A war is going on and someone has deigned to criticize our most revered and loyal allies by claiming that they are nothing but puppets for The $yndicate and that The $yndicate is to blame for everything! Such new and refreshing arguments! It's not like someone utters bullcrap like that every single major conflict where T$ is involved with the support of our esteemed allies, that totally hasn't happened a hundred times over already! Thank you for providing this new and highly original viewpoint, I don't know what we'd do without your enlightening perspective! Lmao seriously dude, just stop.

I guess I need to reread the BK-UPN treaty, I keep missing the part where UPN is exempt from information sharing, but it applies to BK in all circumstances. It has to be in there, otherwise you would just be a hypocrite, and I know that isn't the case! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
