Popular Post Betulius Posted August 13, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted August 13, 2016 pa·per·less: relating to or involving the storage or communication of information in electronic form, rather than on paper. This treaty declaration is in electronic form, so you are still paperless! So is everyone else, but oh well. Nah, I've been printing out all of their treaties 7 Quote Dec 26 18:48:22 <JacobH[Arrgh]> God your worse the grealind >.> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zoot Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 Did you frame them around your room? What? Don't you have all BK's treaties hanging on your walls?! THAT'S TREASON! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prefontaine Posted August 13, 2016 Author Share Posted August 13, 2016 "You don't get to tell us what words mean. I wrote a paragraph about it and everything." lol at pre being buthurt. Its ok man. There is nothing wrong with having treaties. I think it is a fine treaty and honorably done, sir. It is a treaty though or "paper" as yall like to call it. Look at you trying to tell me what I think and feel. Your desperation to try to matter to me is adorable. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My whole life i thought words were defined. But no longer am i ignorant. Obviously words mean what your emotions want them to. Thank you for purifying me. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spite Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 What is the difference between this treaty and any of the "paper" treaties then? I mean it's not like there's any formal mechanism to enforce the "paper" agreements either, it's basically a statement from party A that they'll defend party B, sometimes but not always accompanied by another statement that party B will defend party A. That's what this is too, regardless of how you have worded it. If you disagree then do tell what the difference is. 1 Quote ☾☆ Priest of Dio just because the Nazis did something doesn't mean it's automatically wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Infice Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 With no actual rule of law in place in the game, ie: no entity to enforce actual treaties, paperless and paper just means the same thing in this game. It's just a promise to do commit a certain action. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prefontaine Posted August 13, 2016 Author Share Posted August 13, 2016 Okay, i'm a billionaire. I don't own anything wealthy. BUT YOU DON'T GET TO TELL ME WHAT WORDS MEAN Being a billionaire doesn't require you to own anything outside of the money, so you can clearly be one without owning anything "wealthy" outside of that pile of bills. Thank you my good sir. My whole life i thought words were defined. But no longer am i ignorant. Obviously words mean what your emotions want them to. Thank you for purifying me. Your desperation to matter to me is clear as you're replying to my posts like I'm actually talking to you when clearly I wasn't. I mean, usually paperless would mean "unannounced". But now it's just a funny way to say to "i'm better than you and i don't need to explain myself.". As someone in one of the most heavily papered alliances, I can understand your clear confusion and ignorance on the matter. Paper gameplay and paperless gameplay are a style, ideology, or even perhaps a philosophy on how to play the game. You don't get to tell me how paperless works, you're not a part of it. You don't matter to it. Even when Guardian was paperless I even stated Protectorates get announced. I've been doing this for longer than BK, and you have existed over here. You don't get to tell me what paperless means because you don't subscribe to that way of thinking. You don't get to tell me how something I effectively founded in this game works, and thus as I said your opinions on what is or is not paper is irrelevant. Have I spelled it out simply enough? Because I've mustered the last of the !@#$ I could possible give for this post. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infice Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 I thought the difference was whether or not it was public/announced. Well, in the real world, you can sign actual papers with no intention to announce it. Putting things on papers just make things easier to resolve when one breaks their promise as there's an actual avenue (court of law) to resolve things. You could do the same thing "paperless" but it's alot harder to resolve. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spite Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 So we've established that Pre has made TEst a paper alliance in reality, but since "paperless" is like, a philosophy man, a way of thinking, not just about you know, not having any paper, they're going to stay paperless in spirit and ain't nobody going to tell him different because he's been playing this game for much longer than anyone else (actually not that much longer and nobody cares anyway). 4 Quote ☾☆ Priest of Dio just because the Nazis did something doesn't mean it's automatically wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eumirbago Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 I mean, TEst has been a paper AA for quite awhile now. The $yndicate has been their protectorate for about a year. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James XVI Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 (edited) I mean TEst doesn't have to hold to their word, there aren't clauses that can be kept to or broken, there isn't a 'give x time notice to cancel'. All in all there are very few similarities of TEst's statement with most if not the majority of paper treaties that are defined as such in this game. Anyway TEst is a paper alliance...that Edictum Est thingy Edited August 13, 2016 by James XVI 2 Quote THE Definitive James: KastorCultist, Co-leading Roz Wei Empyrea The Wei, former TGH warrior, Assassin, and a few more.

Phiney Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 TEst has been a cult / religion since well before PaW. Regardless, does it matter? We've said we'll have ros' back publically for a bit, focus on that bit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because I've mustered the last of the !@#$ I could possible give for this post. 1. Obviously my whole life goal was to please you my good overlord 2. Saying "you're not in it, so you don't understand it" is quite the idiotic argument. By that logic, why reply to anyone? I mean, by your logic, anyone who could possibly reply is automatically wrong, so why spend your time doing it? 3. Calling my opinions irrelevant because of... "that way of thinking". What. Sounds like a religious BS argument. "You're not X, and if you're not X you're not Y, and you can't say you're not X because of Y". Also, using the "it's older than [bla bla bla]" argument doesn't add anything. Something being old doesn't make it any more right. 4. Simple, yes. Incorrect, also yes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
