A small NPO note

It seems that having discord servers so that people from other alliances can talk to you is cool. So due to this fact, the NPO now has a server that's open to the public. Aside from the new server for you non NPO people, we don't have much else going on.

"We don't have much else going on."

 

Declares on BK

Probably the reason why they declared war on BK. There is no CB greater than Boredom these days.

No. It's pretty simple. In any potential war, BK would hit us again simply due to alliance composition. The Syndicate wouldn't have been able to execute an all out war against us in the last war without BK going along with it and oAing.  At least not with the same amount of ease. We had and have no issues with BK on a personal level, but it was clear they were the alliance most well positioned to hit us again so any movement on their part would likely be directed at us. The addition of a Mensa treaty showed that Syndisphere consolidation would continue and no shake up would result so an attack was imminent and we had to prepare for it. A month ago, when we lost several treaties our situation was a total disaster. We saw a last stand for us as inevitable.

 

We have known for quite some time we would be targeted again. I would not force another losing war where we had to eat an enemy offensive as the first shot on our members. If we have to go down, we're doing it swinging. The amount of anti-NPO rhetoric on the forums has only grown and the militarization was quite worrying and we knew we had to do something. A major reason we lost the last war and ended up in a position where our side lost a statistical advantage was our side's lack of aggression. BK was allowed to go from 0 mil to 100% in 6 days. While we no longer possess a statistical advantage and cooperation is last minute because of the cancellations, this is the best we can do even if it's another loss.

 

 

This was the rationale your alliance openly supported in the last war and it consisted of "consolidation and preemption". This is preemptive.

 

 

 

<Partisan> The thing that prompted it for us was the treaty between UPN and NPO

<Partisan> To us, it signified a change in stance from pro-peace towards anti-t$. This is by all means a pre-emptive strike.
<Partisan> UPN, Rose, VE, NPO
<Partisan> all chumped together. All of them claim they want peace yet form the foundation of a coalition against us.

Is this the justification for the sneak attack?  Well at least you made an argument!

If you were comfortable with the rationale for last war and the rationale for this one isn't good enough for you, there isn't going to be some kind of fun explanation that fulfills you emotionally and enriches you spiritually.

Actually, we called dibs on UPN. ;)

 

Real talk though, I personally have no reason to hate what you guys did. If I were in your shoes I would've done the exact same thing. For once, you all made the correct move.

My spiritual enrichment is high.  Last war was super rational lolz!

 

But I am fine with the rational of "we were scared" it is actually a reasonable reason.

The rationale for the last war was fine, as is this, and perhaps it is the most honest one I've seen. Good to hear!

Yawn the whole "they looked like they were going to attack us" as a CB is boring. Rose had the same reasoning to attack TKR, when it was bogus because TKR had no intentions on attacking Rose. If anything, BK probably armed up because they were hoping someone would hit them and.....

 

Voila.

A respectable answer but probably one which should've been in the OP. :P

I sincerely disagree that war was inevitable. We were not planning on harming you. We wanted to be left in peace.

 

But I doubt we'll ever see eye to eye on that.

Oh cool, I remember making a similar argument a few months ago. Worked great.

I think you are asking the wrong person that question. As a member of Mensa, we all feel the same about war: we don't give a &#33;@#&#036; what the reason is as long as it happens and isn't shit. For real though our rationale to roll GPA was for cash to rebuild.
