Whether or not BK knew about the agreement doesn't matter. The fact is you had an agreement to protect BK if they ever got in trouble. You can pretend that this had something to do with secret logs that you refuse to share, but you had already made a commitment to help BK in a situation like this. Any reason you give for entering the war is irrelevant because you had already committed to entering before any of that had happened. Additionally, this agreement you made essentially gave BK free reign to roll whoever they want as no single sphere could stand against them on their own. That means the rest of the game has the option to either: a) Let BK roll them one-by-one like they were planning to already do with Chaos b) Team up to have a chance against them but then that brings NPO in It's a lose-lose for everybody outside your grouping Edited July 3, 2019 by Smith 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True King Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 (edited) How many alliances has BK really rolled though? Didn’t attack anyone the entire 100 days I was there & despite me bored; as well as always suspected the minisphere thing as plot a to make them easier to roll. Although I didn’t think TKR behind it personally. (TKR seems to have had the same kind of push to drop their allies by those who wanted to role them before their fall) Although I thought they were overly focused TKR versus KETOG. Personally I did make some diplomatic outreaches to TKR to potentially improve relations, they did approve of me getting an embassy with them so we wouldn’t necessarily automatically be enemies in any conflict. So not really sure this war was a matter of time regardless; although moot point when the war has been declared & it having reached this point.

Remember they were planning to hit Chaos and only maybe cancelled those plans due to the Keto/Chaos war. Otherwise they would have still rolled a much smaller sphere while having the backing of NPO if another sphere got involved. This could have continued forever and nobody could really do anything to stop them if they hadn't messed up like this. And yes while you were in BK it did seem like you were interested in burying the hatchet at least from the posts I saw from you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IQ always finds a way to take their advantage and piss it down the drain with poor strategy and coordination. Because the best way to defeat an upper tier threat you had a chance to beat in the first round is to hide in the bottom tier and march upper tier meatshields into the conflict slowly one by one so we can easily roll them one by one. Genius. 3 hours ago, Aragorn, son of Arathorn said: As for ego and toxic I am not the one parading on the forums saying "this was the last chance" and "anyone tied to BK is done". Only reasonable way to respond to your failed attempt at a hegemony. Imagine sucking so bad you can't beat us with ~1750 nations vs our 750 nations. I guess you do need to consolidate all that strength after all, gotta make up for your incompetence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If making it bloody hard to roll us means we brought in a CN play style, guilty as charged. But we're not interested in short wars, or having folks get out easy when they hit us and thats a valid tactic and really has nothing to do with CN lol. But yes, NPO is evil because of CN, got it! Yeah cn is the only possible reason anyone might not like you. There definitely aren't at least 3 other things in this single post that would make people think you guys are awful. Here's a casual reminder: no one hit you. You were aggressive in this war, based on a fabricated narrative and dated set of logs that just happened to justify you hitting the same people you've been hitting for literal years. That has nothing to do with that other game. Edited July 3, 2019 by Spaceman Thrax 11 Quote Slaughter the shits of the world. They poison the air you breathe. ~ William S.

Though if someone wants to post updated stats without the peaced alliances, that'd be great. Better yet, if you have stats throughout the war, you could put it in a table on the wiki. ? Its 1766 nations vs 774. Of which 502 have peaced out. 1 minute ago, Aragorn, son of Arathorn said: Lmfao You are the ones parading around when micros drop out, as if we had any expectation of them staying past the first couple rounds.

I haven't mentioned them once. Only you did. Meanwhile we are holding down your entire sphere. Better go tell the 10 people above 1500 planes to get a move on at this rate we'll be here until 2022. Hit me up in 4 months when you realise you can't flip damages. I know you said 3 months but I know you are slow on the uptake so I'll wait. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No we won't flip the total damages but that tends to be the case when one side has infra and the other doesn't.

And yes while you were in BK it did seem like you were interested in burying the hatchet at least from the posts I saw from you I don’t dispute you had a valid CB, although I would have assumed NPO would assist even without having ever been privy to any secret plans. Just because of the long friendship, although didn’t expect Syndicate to pull out. So will be an interesting one at least, who wins in the end or it peaces out with either KETOG or Chaos abandoning the other. A lot of possibilities I guess, however war plans aren’t set in stone and sometimes ideas are thrown around. Although I understand your reasoning in thinking if you didn’t take this chance, it might be possible you’d get rolled after rebuilding. Although BK Sphere isn’t all bad and only ones who would know that plan ever existed was top lvl gov. Feel like a lot alliances could be rolled for already dated plans to trigger a war if the only consideration. Although I like people on both sides and not everyone tied to BK are bad. Shifty had even said he doesn’t see any of them offering a treaty when TGH Sphere & others who he used to think friends turned hard on him. Eventually he just left all servers except very few to get away from the animosity. So if anything I think they do some good in giving new alliances a chance to grow even if they’re not on good terms with TGH/KT/Empyrea Sphere. Seems like more toxicity coming from them saying anyone tied to NPO/BK are done for it they win; despite for many it being the only alignment option they ever had. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still considerably less than yours. If you want to use the VM card, you should probably have less not more VM nations on your side. Everyday 2-3 sometimes more of your nations go into VM.
