We are here for the Whales

[Thalmor]

I thought it was a massive compliment when Inst said KETOG/Chaos could do 250B while holding back, but it's an even bigger compliment to know that BK and friends think they need the whole game to take us two damaged spheres on!

I love how you don’t mention your prots, their MDPs your MDPs covenant everyone you threw at us.

It's like the greatest dogpile in orbis history never happened. 

[Prophet of Profit]

Ah, was waiting to see how long it took BK to call in the rest of IQ. Welcome to the war. 

Thanos, buddy. I hope you realize how pitiful you are, even if your allies and friends are too moronic to see it. Dragging them into a losing war, poor things.

You have the right to refuse help and not activate your treaty, as I understand these things.

Do you not realize those don't contradict? SyndIQ is hegemonic because of your massive numbers

[Spaceman Thrax]

i appreciate the attempt at polish, but I don't see how you can sell this as anything other than an effort to impede our war effort. I mean. I'm not fan of what Grumpy and Guardian have been doing politically, but there's only one answer to the question of "why this moment", isn't there. And what we have, by extension, is you punishing the two smaller spheres who had the guts to actually implement the vision you were giving yourself so much credit for.

Speaking as someone who's been trying, it's a pretty damned bleak statement, and I hoped for better despite having every reason to expect this.

Good luck with this one, t$.

I mean, it depends on the wording I suppose. The whole purpose of treaties is to document what will happen if someone attacks etc etc. If it's an optional defense pact, then make it an ODP. I never liked how loosey goosey the treaty system has become. "Back in my day..." people honored treaties even if it as a losing battle.

Except you know as well as anyone else here that it's just an excuse to get NPO involved so Thanos can stroke himself while saying "IQ disbanded".

His throat was under strain for other reasons that may or may not be related to tS entering the war

The Roq Cock was just too good for BK to resist.

[Sir Scarfalot]

Ok, so, 2 damaged, mutually fighting spheres team up for a sudden, unexpected battle against a relatively even opponent. After almost totally annihilating each others' airforces, spies, and infrastructure.

Said opponent starts losing, so the alliances that are ostensibly being protected by said opponent turn around and desperately attempt to protect their protector themselves

Even that doesn't work, so the sphere that supposedly split off from said opponent decides to 100% backpedal on their super well-published, "long-awaited", "inevitable", "totally real" split and rejoins their old ally, alongside even MORE allies.

And the punchline? You're still not going to get net positive damage! And even better, we're probably going to be able to ease up on our beige restrictions! Great job, you've made the war infinitely easier for us, and now there's even more that'll need to surrender and under even worse excuses

[Kriegskoenig]

Oh, the irony. 

Really, none of you complaining here can be taken seriously being salty about what BK does, because, save a few alliances that lean paperless, your entire group has done the same thing repeatedly, for years.  But I don't expect most of you to be objective enough to grasp that. ?

And seriously, has none of you ever read Von Clausewitz, Machiavelli, or Sun Tzu?  Going into a "fair fight" is the utter height of stupidity for anyone that wants to achieve something beyond pointless destruction.

>700 vs 1200
>wah this fight is unfair

Reminder that the average tiering is 14 vs 18, and that BK/TC outnumbers their opponents nearly 2:1. You're losing because you're so inconceivably trash. Not just at milcom, but apparently FA too, considering your allies. All of TC has... less counters declared than just BK. Well done lmfao.

Ah yes... the age old "fair fight is pointless" argument. Sure, if your entire purpose is to create a powersphere great enough to dominate the game so you can sit in circles telling each other how great you are, then yes going into a fair fight is pointless.

However, if your purpose is to create some atmosphere of uncertainty about war or to create an atmosphere where war is more abundant so there is more activity in this world, fighting to break apart the powershperes and allow for more dynamic war structure that doesn't rely on who can pull the most treaties is actually more useful and productive.

So the real question is what do you want to do? Sit in a circle jerking chains on how awesome you are, or actually playing the game and proving how great you are?

[Hwan]

So when are you guys actually going to attack them?

In other news, IQ is about as dead as Ruth Bader Ginsburg.  May she never die.

No, I'm pretty sure you've been doing it since you formed. Plus, who exactly are you referring to? CoS was paperless, Soup is new, TGH has stuck by KETOG forever, KT has been in like 3 different spheres, TKR didn't bring in more people during their rolling, Guardian and Grumpy have been (fairly) transparent during their whole thing. Also frick off "everyone does it" isn't a justification and you know that.

mUh SuN tZu ok pseud, not like this is a browser game and human life isn't actually at stake

whatever. I guess you recognize you have no integrity, so there's nothing i can really say

Apparently your ass should be fired, if you think you understand what an MDP means from this. Noctis probably has better FA than that.

No, the MD part of Mutual Defense does not mean you can just choose to not activate it. Your treatied partnet can ask you to let them handle it, but that's a voluntary waive of the treaty, not an arbitrary "nah not gonna"

gtfo with that bs
