Avakael Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 Why not? If both sides weren't interested in war it was a way to reduce tensions and avert conflict, since a unilateral decom seemed rather risky in such a tense situation. Not every buildup ends with a war after all - their were several spikes in Syndisphere military in the last month that didn't result in things exploding, as well as numerous war scares back when Paracov was still a thing. If the membership of The Syndicate had discovered that our government had shaken hands on that, we'd have probably gutted them even if it wasn't a trick. Also, be more specific than "Syndisphere". The Syndicate itself was only ordered to buy anything beyond general peace requirements, like, 4 days ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beowulf the Second Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 Can confirm that we were only told to half-militarize (build soldiers now on top of your peacetime planes, that's it), and only 2-3 days before the war's onset. If the hypothesis was that a Syndisphere blitz was immediate and incoming... at any rate it probably wasn't going to include the Syndicate ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Quote 01:58:39 <BeowulftheSecond> Belisarius of The Byzantine Empire has sent your nation $0.00, 0.00 food, 0.00 coal, 0.00 oil, 0.00 uranium, 0.00 lead, 0.00 iron, 0.00 bauxite, 0.00 gasoline, 0.00 munitions, 1,000.00 steel, and 0.00 aluminum from the alliance bank of Rose.01:58:46 <BeowulftheSecond> someone please explain 01:59:12 <%Belisarius> sleep deprivatin is a !@#$ @_@01:59:14 — %Belisarius shrugs01:59:18 <BeowulftheSecond> we're at WAR.

Sisyphus Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 You don't need max military to blitz if you are using a Max planes strategy So we were supposed to decom everything for peace? Even past our peacetime builds? What, were we expected to decom first too? Sounds more and more like a bad deal the more you guys try to sell it. 2 Quote One must imagine Sisyphus happy.

Black Rook Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 Yeah 100% planes is a good peacetime build, why expect anyone to go past their peacetime build with a decom. Why don't you just run 100% planes to counter it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beowulf the Second Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 You don't need max military to blitz if you are using a Max planes strategy Silly me. Didn't consider that you guys would be scared of our peacetime build I guess there can never be a political solution/mutual military decommission because the Syndicate is considered by their opponents to be militarized and ready to strike even in times of peace.

Sounds more and more like a bad deal the more you guys try to sell it. Probably if we stay on 0 military IQ will feel safe lol I mean seriously this is a stupid logic IQ is giving even they knew it, srsly you guys expect us to go below our peacetime build given you stay in defcon 1 or oh you thought we are going for blitz with 0 tank and 0 navy given the amount of damage ships does in this new mechanic. Like if you think it logically we are allies with BK and Zodiac by no mean we will attack them also nor will we attack Cornerstone (coz we are not CS ) so this keeps only NPO given NPO is lower tier only and we have probably 3-5 people below 10 city by no way we can go for a war against NPO. So just tell the truth you were bored with the game wanted to fight and just created all this false arming-decom drama to support your point of view truth is you guys as well know that there was no way syndi would have started this war we have 300 less member than you guys also we don't even have any numerical advantage apart from a bit in the top tier.

Spaceman Thrax Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 This one is pretty sad. As far as I know the most noteworthy relations between CS and t$ have been several wars on the same side where they were considered de-facto allies, and then Treasure Island, where both made lots of money together. Is there a CB for this? If t$ called on someone to attack Cornerstone, and you don't mind sharing the logs/proof (here or in private), I'll come to your defense. Still waiting. C'mon guys!

Spaceman Thrax Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 Lmao reps, cute. Your alliance was insistent on getting them from NPO last war. And while Eumir was just being Eumir, and I'm not in the loop on the actual negotiations... As far as justifications for reps go, "Declaring a no CB war citing a nonexistent conspiracy supposedly headed by a person who made you billions of dongs a few months earlier" is one of the better ones I've heard. Jess should charge them 10% of what they made in reps on principle. Unless they have that proof and are just waiting to spring it on us at the perfect moment. Quote Slaughter the shits of the world.

So your point is that reps are okay, but only if you're winning by a wide margin? ??? Your whole supposed reason for moving against your allies in Mensa/TKR/t$ since last war was trying to even out the game dynamic, wasn't it? Quote Slaughter the shits of the world.

Your whole supposed reason for moving against your allies in Mensa/TKR/t$ since last war was trying to even out the game dynamic, wasn't it? Silent had all nations 300 score+ in NPO covered. We had started demilitarizing and rebuilding before war had even ended. Syndisphere lacks the logistical ability to pin our side down like BK did to NPO in Silent. I don't see how the second part is relevant to the conversation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
