Charles Bolivar Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 (edited) 20 hours ago, Klemens Hawicki said: Yeah, an apology ain’t really an apology if you don't follow it up with certain actions. What does “his reasoning” mean? Seriously! Serial killers also have their (horribly flawed) reasoning. Doesn’t make them any better. Imagine Ted Bundy saying “sorry” but still doing what he did. Maybe the analogy is too graphic/strong, but you get the point (or you should, if you know what I mean), Sorry, but try a better argument next time, chopie. I presume you don't know this, but the likes of Partisan, Chaunce, Wana, Avakael and Critters along with whoever else from the Old Guard is left will remember that the Syndicate was originally founded in this realm in order to escape exactly this type of argument being used against them in the other realm by alliances who refused to accept any and all efforts at apologies made by the entire alliance (MI6) on behalf of certain extreme gov members (Chim). Not totally relevant but just something which came to mind. At the end of the day, you can either accept an apology and move on, or you don't. But adding conditions to apologies and insisting on special demands and wording renders the entire point of an honest apology being a moot point imo.

But adding conditions to apologies and insisting on special demands and wording renders the entire point of an honest apology being a moot point imo. Chopie, you presume far too much. And you’re too easily swayed by cheap sentiments. Life ain’t about good feelings. It’s about actions and what they reflect. An honest apology is accompanied (either before, after, or both) by actions that demonstrate that the apology is sincere. Here’s an analogy for your assistance: Person A strikes you, he stops, he apologises, he doesn't resume striking you, and finally he walks away. Person B strikes you, he doesn’t stop, he STILL apologises (to make you lower your guard), and he keeps striking you. Asking Cameltoe to repudiate Pathetica/IQ isn’t a “condition” or “special demand”. It’s just a verification that they actually change. Why all the fuss over such a simple act? IQ no longer exists so what’s the risk of a full repudiation? Maybe Cameltoe is trying to secretly bring back IQ? I don’t know, and I can’t say. But Cameltoe sure don’t make it easy for the rest of us, chopie. If Cameltoe wants to break free from the past, they need to signify that by a FULL REPUDIATION of (low) IQ. And Cameltoe’s apology is MUCH less believable when all they do is make themselves look like the “victim” of IQ. They were part of IQ and they fully participated on IQ’s side. Cameltoe needs to quit justifying IQ, because otherwise they end up looking like Person B from my analogy. Forsztelujesz, chopie? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But a changing narrative in an apology thread, running along the lines of "Sorry, not sorry, we're the victim, forgive us" over the course of a few days is very different to a changing opinion throughout months of war. Though given the terms they were trying to inflict upon us, and a complete lack of contrition after the fact, siuggests to me quite strongly that their position on the war has only changed now that they have no choice to be sorry. And given their conduct in this thread, their remorse is largely superficial because they fear lingering grudges against them. I will give them a chance. When they actually reach out in some meaningful way. 1 Quote <~Sval[OWR]> I am your father.<+Curufinwe> Can confirm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But adding conditions to apologies and insisting on special demands and wording renders the entire point of an honest apology being a moot point imo. Contradictions were (are) called out. That said, i'll (once again) note that we are open to dialogue and willing to move on in time. We have not spoken to camelot about much beyond raid incidents right up until this thread. Cam may have worked on its internals and worked with rose, but t$ has not yet seen another side of camelot. Our (initial) response reflects that. It takes time to change perceptions, and it's a bit (imo) unreasonable to expect everything to be water under the bridge immediately when that process of amends, for as far as t$ has been able to see, has only just started. (Also, small distinction: I/t$ gov did not add "special conditions" or "insist on special demands". We were outspokenly sceptical. No more, no less. Klemens and eumir's opinions, though they are free to speak them, are their own) 3 hours ago, Avakael said: This is correct, but you are being very optimistic in assuming that t$ today has much in common with MI6.

Popular Post Mikey Posted June 6, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted June 6, 2020 (edited) Given the context that this apology is coming after Cam's behavior was savaged in the other thread and on Discord by nearly every other group, effectively backing them into an FA corner; and given the context that high profile members continue to defend past actions; I think it's fairly reasonable that people are skeptical. Look, you guys fricked up hard last war and a lot of people are rightfully pissed off about your actions. It isn't the first time an alliance has found themselves in that position, and it won't be the last, though it may be more heated than most. Take it from an alliance that has been there multiple times before - take the L and move on. It's not unreasonable to want to hold them accountable for their actions in some meaningful in-game way, such as say rolling them in a short war. With time, most people will move on if you will. T$ in particular, which seems to be singled out by detractors here, has an entire history of doing just that. The fact that we can exist on the same political axis as them again proves it. We - the various divergent alliances that made up col A - are not IQ. We don't hold permanent grudges over past behavior or past governments. Every single alliance of meaningful age on our side has at some point made friends out of enemies, enemies out of friends, and back again. If you truly change you will find most people's attitudes change with you, but you're going to have to face the immediate consequences first. Whether that's a war when the NAP ends. or just several more threads of people !@#$ing.
