The political situation change faster than the time it take to make these. I am always amazed how quick Ripper was able to get them out, but it also easy to understand why he stopped making them.

How much did you nick from Acadia's bank? Nothing, unless Zim started making the comic two or three years ago lol. Really the funniest part about the comic is the implication that we actually have anything worth stealing, it's very refreshing. Edit: Friendly reminder that TC is still the only group of AAs that ever got Arrgh to surrender in a war ?

It was more Alex changing the score system to ruin their low infra high mil build that defeated them. TC's military fumblings are akin to some sweaty highschooler trying to take his girlfriends bra off for the first time. Eventually you give up, and she takes care of it for you. That was Alex. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I forgot he changed that a few days before the war started, you're right. Still, that metaphor assumes that Alex would ever actually be helpful, and we've both played the game long enough to know about that. Also obligatory pirates mad (x24). Arrgh just couldn't stand up to Clarke's incredible power and had to get Parti to bail them out 3 months later ? 1 Quote "They say the secret to success is being at the right place at the right time.

Alex literally made ground control down 100% of a nations airforce in the middle of our war with PC where we were going full aircraft and no ground and we still mopped the floor with them despite us being outnumbered 2:1. Arrgh choose to start a war after an update and we're supposed to be sorry that they are incompetent? They should've either not started a war or just "got gud" instead.

More like around two weeks ago, when i started on this comic. I know we hit alot of your low tier in revenge for your attack on Yarr, where Boyce hit on of your guys with like 9-8 cities, or something like that, i remember i found it hilarious. And does wars was quite profitable if i remember correctly, i think i got like 20.000 in food of one your dudes. But then we moved on soon after.

From my perspective, NAC and its allies won, Arrgh lost. The End. Beyond that, there were zero Fs given by anyone at NAC. To take your analogy further, we didn't care, we had sex. Hot, sweaty teenage sex. The kind you look back fondly on years later and write a song about if you're Bob Seger. If people want to try to belittle what happened, I still can't manage to care. ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ogaden Posted September 16, 2019 Share Posted September 16, 2019 Amusing anecdote from the Purple Spy war, as an alternative to the giant DNR imposition I offered Emmad a freebie war assist from Arrgh, as I had launched the war on the suspicion that UPN was preparing to attack Arrgh, which proved to be false information. UPN refused this. 3 months later, UPN and friends narrowly lost a war where we, Arrgh, changed the balance of power. If Emmad had taken me up on our offer instead of imposing their terms on us, they would have won and history would have been different. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ogaden Posted September 16, 2019 Share Posted September 16, 2019 As an aside, there is an incredible amount of revisionist history being written in here. Syndicate did not 'bail out' Arrgh, it was part of the compensation package offered to us to participate on the side of Syndisphere. Ironically the DNR terms specifically allowed for alliance wars, assuming this clause would only benefit UPN. The intervention on behalf of Syndicate was entirely due to the hubris of UPN and DEIC in the Purple Spy War. This led to a glorious working partnership with Syndisphere which sadly ended with the rise of TKR to prominence who sought to end our reign of terror on the high seas. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
