Boony Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 While this isn't materially horrible for them this will definitely compromise their reputation of their ability to protect their members No one was ever scared of GPA. They've been attacked multiple times throughout their existence by alliances smaller than them. This emphasis on pride is pretty dumb. Hell, it could be argued that it took courage for GPA leadership to accept these "humiliating" terms in order to save their membership. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Livius Clades Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 (edited) Our protection is more about raids. We will always be vulnerable to being beat down when multiple alliances target us, or when a single alliance that is much more stringent about activity requirements and military cooperation decides to attack us. We aren't an elite alliance, our members have lax activity requirements, our military standards are pretty flexible. We're just an open, casual alliance for the most part. Anyway, while this is humiliating, it was this or be zeroed and disbanded. This was the only way the GPA name continues to exist. I personally put that over everything else, so I'll take being individually humiliated over the GPA being disbanded. And it seems our alliance leaders thought the same. Lol What? You serious? Disband! Your name means absolutely nothing. You can't claim the humiliation for this because no one will remember you. But they'll see the flag and they'll know GPA's past. GPA should just disband. You said it yourself your alliance is a casual alliance. Why be serious about a tarnished name? Your Alliance name has been ran through the dirt. And your idea of survival is to praise Dio and remain the punchline of Orbis? For real? The stupidity here is remarkable. You taking the route you did makes the GPA name mean nothing.

You taking the route you did makes the GPA name mean nothing. The stupidity is all yours, my friend, because you're the one who doesn't get it. We are a casual alliance, but we care about our name. The two are not mutually exclusive. Let me simplify. It was a choice between GPA's survival and disbandment. We chose survival. That's all there is to it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Y'all are just heading down the road to ruin. Again. Your very choice ruins your name. Celebrating the name of something casual is to celebrate Mediocrity. We can disagree, you are entitled to your opinion. But note that I'm also entitled to mine. I think y'all should disband. Your name means absolutely nothing to everyone else in this game. It's a joke. I've been here for two years. It's been ingrained into the culture of this game that GPA is a joke and that it's time to #RollGPA(InsertYear). You didn't just lose the war. You lost all semblance of Pride. You have nothing worth defending. 1 Fire is nice eh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kemal Ergenekon Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 Those who view conversion to Dioism as humiiation can only be ignorant savages unworthy of paying attention to. Being blessed by the God Emperor Dio Brando is a reward, not a curse. If the GPA members fully embrace His Awesomeness into their hearts and minds, they can become the most ferocious of warriors. Mensa HQs countless victories stand as a testament to this indisputable fact. The heathens who disagree are welcome to send their names so that we can prioritize them in our crusade to convert all Orbis, xdxd. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We lost half our membership for reasons other than because we decided to accept the treaty. And if ever the GPA disbands, it will simply be created again with the same name and the same flag, since disbandment is not an option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Preservation of your name is inherently intertwined with what other people think of it. If you allow it to be dragged through the mud and be associated with failure who will be willing to defend you, or join you. On another note would you choose disbandment while retaining a shred of your alliance's honor or continue to be humiliated and choose a slow decline to permanent mediocrity Edited July 22, 2016 by RightHonorable Haatyc or'arue jate'shya ori'sol aru'ike nuhaatyc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You lost half your members because you recruit worthless alliance hoppers with no sense of honor and ability to stay when the shit gets though, and you only have yourselves to blame for that, because your playstyle prevents you from doing otherwise.

And you can "rather disband" all you want because you're not in the GPA so your opinion is, by every possible measure, entirely irrelevant. And we will get rolled in a year, I have no doubts about that. But we won't get dragged into wars by treaties 10 links long either, and that's a trade-off I'm willing to make.
