You were only called up to retake the FA position because of how the situation unfolded. Your justifications are actions taken in response to tS' orientation as we had to see tS as hostile based on what it done before and adjust accordingly. Had we had any real reason to believe things could turn out differently, a lot of things wouldn't have transpired.

You are *at the very least* as much a party to that as our side. As has been rehashed in private time and time again, your defense of BK was -within the dynamics of our sphere- indefensible. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noctis Anarch Caelum Posted November 28, 2019 Share Posted November 28, 2019 At least war hasn't gotten in the way of the treaty between House Stark & NPO; or Rose & GOONS.

It's good for you to admit however, you have seen the so-called "defense of BK" as indefensible for 5 months, though so we can stop pretending you weren't cancelling over the entry anyway. 1 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which decision maker is presently gov? I am in Sisy's seat and Jordan is interim in Leo's seat. With regards to BK.... yes. BK is not a friendly entity to t$. It hasn't been for a long time. t$ also is not and has not been interested in propping up BK, or in any way linking ourselves to BK. Your defense of BK forces all of that. The unilateral decision to come in to swing BKs war and root out KETOG was problematic to us because you knew our disposition, yet you still tried to corner us into a situation where we had to join BK's larger coalition. So we bowed out, and the rest flowed from there. Edited November 28, 2019 by Prefonteen 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think its relevant to the war since GOONS came during the war & currently BK is in a coalition with GOONS despite not choosing that. Would have been interesting to hear your viewpoint in specific if you were answering questions, but not answering says plenty. Good luck.

Your OP claims otherwise, considering all your listed reasons is simply pointing the finger and not just straight out acknowledging that it was a breakdown of communications on both sides. Which is a foul in my opinion. So in conclusion I'll just leave this quote here and be on my way. "every action has an equal and opposite reaction" - Sir Isaac Newton.

I don't really recall asking Syndicate to join the coalition at any point or having that as my expectation. The reasons for why not entering would be bad were given ad nauseam and it had nothing to do with linking tS to BK. Propping up in the sense that it was clear it would be hemmorhage a lot of people and leave other people in the driver's seat going forward if we didn't change things, maybe. 5 hours ago, Buorhann said: Funny how Roq is calling out Partisan/Syndicate about how the treaty was dead, yet NPO failed to cut the treaty then. Doesn't exactly tell you it was dead... they simply failed at handling the situation and trying to blame Syndicate for it. I don't really see why we'd telegraph our reaction and the reaction was to let the TEst situation play out as we no longer viewed the Syndicate as having the potential to be a good faith actor. Until the OWR/Carthago signings, we held out a small hope of mediation working. The response to the OWR/Carthago signings was that we were not informed because we would leak it to BK even though we never had disclosed confidential information such as Leopold's sponsorship and commissioning of tS members to join Terminal Jest before the war to hit Yakuza and others. and then we were mocked by the other person in the discussion, to paraphrase "I can listen to the voices in my head and conjure up reasons too." We don't really have any reason to take the high road when it's clear the other party is making chess moves and hostile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Syndicate is known for trashing allies for future interests, turning them into ex-allies when convenient. Partisan is just trying to spin anything he can spin in hopes he can "win" a PR war. I know it sucks that you thought you could swing the war and get your ally trashed, but nothing is going to change the amount of shitty actions done by The Syndicate this war.
