Auctor Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 It matches the things yall said at the time. I realize you don't feel as though maintaining a consistent position will win you an argument in the moment, however. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aerys Targaryen Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 It is adorable how Orbis thinks 3 and half weeks is a really long war. It's just like (That terrible game that is totally irrelevant and I shouldn't be bringing it up anyways) in it's early days. As nations grow bigger though, wars last longer. It will happen here too barring regular resets. In the meantime, loving the tears from those who are so tired of this 'long ass' war. xD Roz Wei, would've been nice of you to considered our culture and if it would offend us, seeing as how we were supposedly on somewhat friendly terms and all. It seems like you don't care if we consider him a deserter or not, our opinion doesn't matter. Which it is your right to take such a position if you want just saying, it's not a real friendly one. I didn't know in (That terrible game that is totally irrelevant and I shouldn't be bringing it up anyways) wars mean a lot of nations going inactive, not building up to full military and still pretend to fight. I guess (That terrible game that is totally irrelevant and I shouldn't be bringing it up anyways) should be a pretty boring place ! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tehreno Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 Don't see the point. I mean, give em white peace, let them build a bit, maybe have some stockpiles and then attack again when there's actually some stuff to steal. That's just it, it doesn't really matter. Your only chance is our sphere breaking up. You won't win with the current set up. You had no chance starting this war either. Must've been aware of that. So the smarter move is to try to stay out of wars, build and see and hope the sphere breaks up. As I said, might happen, might not, but you're not even close to achieving what you want to achieve now. So either keep engaging us in war, making it impossible for the sphere to split, or just gamble and see if it happens. If the gamble doesn't work out, you'd find yourself in a war you can't win... kinda like now. Nothing gained, nothing lost. So there's really just two options here, one absolutely hopeless, one with some hope in it, however big you think that is. Fight a war we "can't win," now, or watch you try and roll us later when we have "stuff to steal." Right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrispyGeneral Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 Black Knights & Allies saving NPO's members from terrible leadership since 2014! Ill give them this though they wont give up which is truly honorable for themselves but they know they wont win. Everyone knows it. Their death is imminent! Just gives us more space too grow and makes our allies and us stronger, plus in the lead. Their regrowth will take forever! 1 Quote Goomy: *Hot Goomy is 5 miles away from you and looking to have some fun* Guilo: O.O Click bait is sooooooo tempting Aoi Toori: Well its Goomy, who wouldn't?

tehreno Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 (edited) Both Exactly. Where is the incentive NOT to war, when we both know that it is already in planning, by that previous post - to try and roll us again as soon as we have any stockpiles.

Wiki Mod Dr Rush Posted October 10, 2016 Wiki Mod Share Posted October 10, 2016 Actually both sides have reasons to peace out, they just don't feel the terms available are worth it.

Tiber Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 I can only imagine the NPO leadership right now on their forums madly typing another intimidating post about the consequences of leaving or whatever. Chances that it'll work? 100%. Does this make BK look better as an alliance? Definitely not. I mean, looking better was not our goal. How could we even look better when we are already the best?

Your side is getting its body parts forcibly rearranged. Ours is bored with grinding improvements down. If being bored is a "reason" to peace out, then they should declare/offer a white peace, and be done with it. They won't, because there is no incentive to. Reasons are not incentive. Distinct difference, man. Edited October 10, 2016 by tehreno Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tehreno Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 (edited) Reason = Explaination Incentive = Motivation/Encouragement. The second half of your sentence is exactly what I am saying - there is no INCENTIVE because neither side sees a net benefit.

CrispyGeneral Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 War is inevitable. Both sides have reasons to fight whether one meaning more than the other. No matter what they fight for what they believe in. There is nothing greater! No need to fight over something so miniscule.

Canik Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 It's adorable how you are yet again using (That terrible game that is totally irrelevant and I shouldn't be bringing it up anyways) as a frame of reference when discussing PW occurrences and events. It's even cuter how you then move on to provide a (rather patronizing) value-based jugement of Orbis' players' use of historical PW occurrences and events as a frame of reference for their worldviews in PW. If this behavior is a part of the 'culture' which you mention as well, then you would do the world a favor if you would refrain from sharing that culture in the future. I do apologize to Orbis for the patronizing tone. The point I really wanted to get across is that NPO does not view this as an extremely long war. (yet) To us, Ryleh left early and is a deserter. Any alliance wanting to show us good will won't accept those who we consider deserters and we will return the favor in kind. That is our culture, our view, either you respect it or don't.
