Surely you are aware enough that you didn't construe that as my line of argument? Apparently not. Given that his post ignores nuance and jumps straight to showing the treaty web without replying to my point, I saw fit to reply to it as I would any other shitpost: with a shitpost. Edit2: I have an obligation to share Partisnek's posts. Here: Alright, so what you’re saying is that you simply *have* no substantial rebuttal to Smith’s clear and obvious implied (almost to the point of direct) point that your hegemony is based on being good at consolidating and signing garbage treaties, covering their inadequacies with sheer quality-free bulk? I’ll take that as a concession of the point. Checkm8. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

丂ħ̧i̧₣ɫ̵γ͘ ̶™ Posted June 19, 2019 Share Posted June 19, 2019 Tbqh This whole thing is a war over a leak that didn't happen but was considered and now that war is happening according to what Chaos and KETOGG feared So uhh, this kinda happened because the decision to blitz BK and tC was made Anywho, if Neo-IQ controls the game, then there isn't even a need to argue in this thread. Next up we just need to get Neo-IQ leaders as mods and ban the opposing spheres. Purge 'em all. We're gonna win on all fronts by consolidating even irl. Rumor is IQ leaders are gonna marry into Alex's family for actual ownership of the game. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A blob thats only competition is two much smaller spheres? Not sure, which is more threatening, upper tier consolidation or mid tier consolidation?

Absolutely pitiful lol Honestly, I feel like I should put a big sign on the war stats with the pre-war infra levels. Whoever wins this conflict won't change the fact that you cannot destroy infra that doesn't exist. Infra is the single largest cost in the war stats, so its always going to look like one side is kicking ass. The better metric is to look at units killed/lost, and that is presently in Chaos/KERTOG's favour at a coalition level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either way, that’s a concession of his point. Okay, let me put it this way. BKsphere is a mixture of competent fighters and seasoned warriors, with a not-insignificant mass of untested players. Whether it is via recruitment practices, signing/maintenance of treaties, it is inherently a disingenuous position to adopt to claim that one is a hegemony and incompetent. If they draw their competence via numbers/quantity, then surely you see that negating the first point. If they are not drawing competency/martial prowess from any of these, then surely it contests the idea that they are a hegemony. Do you see where I'm going with this? Smith's point was cleverly delivered and I had a laugh. I saw fit to respond to that with a shitpost, apologies if that does not meet the standard. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Micchan Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 Can you clarify something important to me? Until t$ and GG are at war no alliance of the N$O bloc will attack an alliance of the Chaos/KETOGG bloc unless attacked? Is this right? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
