The deals were either set in place (as claimed by your lot) or existed (as substantiated by the logs) regardless. Your timeline of events is misplaced. At first Rose seemed undecided, but it became apparent by the last day that they were going to join in. The statements you're referencing to here occurred after Rose's demeanor and shift of tone was apparent. That they opened with espionage ops before we had even opened on HM/you (and the pre-planned blitz which followed) just reinforces that they had plans to get involved even before it became apparent to us that they were going to, due to the time necessary to arrange the targets and other logistical needs. You gave assurances to two parties? which means you lied to Swamp since you hit TCW in your blitz? Or if you were telling the truth, then you were just going to steam roll us, like we are steam rolling you? For the record, can you post all these logs you guys say you have because I have been asking around myself thinking that maybe I am out of the loop. I mean what do you have to lose, best case you can sow distrust among our ranks, and prove that you were right all along. worst case is we laugh at you because of your flimsy evidence, its not like we can attack you more. I am just really interested in what you think was going to happen because I told Partisan after you guys hit us exactly what I knew was going on, and he in as many words told me I was lying. (why lie at that point the war already started) I can tell you straight up what has been going on from Grumpy's point of view. Swamp came to HM about a month ago, asking about hitting you guys, and as the leader of Grumpy, I said i would only be on board if Rose was also on board, and Rose said no, so Grumpy was out. After about a week, I assumed the plan died since I didnt hear anything more about it. Last week Quack militarized out of the blue, so we militarized and started talking to the other blocs, because we didn't know what they were doing or who they were planning to hit. Swamp and HM basically agreed that if one of us gets hit, we will help the other one because we cant let the strongest bloc in the game start steamrolling the smaller blocs, and we were waiting to see if Rose would also agree. From what I understand Rose didn't jump on the bandwagon till a few hours before you guys attacked on Friday. If we were all on board from the get go, we wouldn't have spend the 2 hours before you attacked frantically trying to decide how we wanted to handle you guys. If we had all actually been working together, we would have had target lists together, and hit you first. Also you talk about us hitting TCW, well like you have been justifying your war, we knew they were coming after us (which Sphinx later confirmed) so we hit them, and swamp also had beef with TCW so they also wanted to join, and we are not going to say no to that. So TLDR, I would love to see all these logs, because your version of what is happening is not the same as what I have seen, and I have talked to some other alliance leaders, and they also dont know what you have been talking about. 1 1 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair, thought I may be mistaken, I ain't gov no more, so was relying on conversations on a lesser level. 2. Eh, I'm not so sure I agree. The TCW shit was not motivated by the idea of multispheres, but I can see that the optics of it could support your claim. The idea, for me at least, is that multispheres would generate wars that don't repeat coalitions except out of necessity (ex. A and B check C's growth, the war causes A to become stronger, B and C check A's growth, etc.). For dogpiles, I thought we'd all settled that you want a bigger coalition than your enemy, and if we haven't, I'm not sure why the hell not. HM has paired with Swamp twice, that's a pattern that I'd focus on, not the dogpile. The issue in my eyes is, Quack doesn't recognize that no matter what actions they take to make themselves look passive, being a certain size makes them a target, and if they don't take pro-active steps to point out that, frankly speaking, a close relationship between HM and Swamp is a far bigger threat, than I'm not sure what to tell you. Its more that we recognize that our proactive steps to appease the irrational fears of parties who are more than sizeable enough to coexist with us and/or defeat us in a multipolar world have gone unrecognized and unappreciated. There is only so much bending over you can do before you have to go "well alright this isn't working". I've had pretty indepth conversations about this with various governments on the opposing side, but im happy to discuss it with you as well. 43 minutes ago, Sweeeeet Ronny D said: You gave assurances to two parties? which means you lied to Swamp since you hit TCW in your blitz?

I thought TCW was not a part of swamp, ronny friend? But no, there has been not a single lie in our approach to this to swamp. We can be accused of many things I suppose, but that is not one of them. in terms of logs or rationale ronny friend. It would help when asking around, to start at the source. My DM is pretty empty and lonely. Cobwebs everywhere. This does sound more theatric though and I as an appreciator of the art of drama am content with that. To the bolded part: So, you were on board. Swamp was on board. TCW was on board, and the moment Rose would be on board, you would hit. Ergo, what we received in intel was entirely confirmed. You sought a coalition of the entire game to fight us. That you had not yet moved the pieces into place is absolutely irrelevant to the question of whether the intention and framework we reference in our CB were in place. Even if you individually said no to hitting *without rose*, swamp/tcw had received the signal that if they got rose, you'd hop back on. And with that, this chapter is frankly closed.

This is a brutal indictment of everyone in Hedge, Swamp, and Rose (I guess) if this is the line. It's not like we've gone out and signed a bunch of treaties to create some insurmountable numerical advantage (obviously, we've hardly signed squat since the end of NPOLT). By arguing that we're so scary because of our size, the admission here is that we play the game well, recruit well, build our nations well, run our alliances well, and that's threatening to everyone else, even when we're just chilling. Further, exactly what good does pointing out the problematic relationship between Hedge and Swamp actually do, given our whole rationale for entering this war was that they were already conspiring to hit us. Quack: "hey swamp and hedge, it seems you may be developing the same sort of relationship that suffocated the game before" Hedge and Swamp: "yes." Who is that supposed to convince? The one other sphere who also coincidentally joined the fight against us despite having no treaty and no evident justification for entering?

Lord Tyrion Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 Swamp and Hedge never discussed any offensive actions against Quack. If it was somebody like Sphinx doing it on his own, that we have no knowledge of. But we literally never discussed offensive action against Quack with Hedge or Rose, nor would that have been approved by Swamp leadership. Defensive arrangements, yes, those were obviously discussed. Discussing going on the offensive literally only happened within the 24 hours before the war started.

Are you saying Rose and HM are incompetent? There is no gap there. 2. Your sphere, allies, alliance and coalition by their actions have shown not to subscribe to that multipolar world unless its to your absolute advantage. 3. Do not equate us in any way shape or form to IQ when you have just pulled an IQ-style manouver, and are literally using the term "competence gap" which was Roquentin's go-to argument.

I don't know who he talked to or got that from, seems to be some miscommunication. I know swamp FA folks were not in a chat with him about it. Was it Sphinx? I have no idea - but certainly wasn't anybody with authority to speak for Swamp. We internally were not in favor of any offensive action, even with everyone else on board.

Roquentin used this line so many times, so often, it's sad. This game involves logging in once or twice a day during peak wartime, otherwise sitting on your hands and logging in once a week during peace. There is no intangible quality making t$ a threat other than their stats, please stay away from the ethereal Mr. Hodor, you're far better than parroting Roquentin.

Not accusing him of anything - if he heard or talked to somebody, it wasn't at the knowledge/direction of our leadership. And who's doing name calling? There is nothing going back to old ways. No reason to not be civil here. Yes our intention with TCW was/is to help them get back on their feet. Their sphere wasn't viable and they needed time to recover. But at the same time, they did have an M-level treaty with us, so they were protected while they do so. We are obligated to defend them.
