The other side got wind of such measures and launched an attack. Trying to find some semblance of "truth" in what is a series of Realpolitik decisions made by parties on both sides is just a futile waste of time since it has no relevance or value. Both sides were correct in their actions since both sides were placing the welfare of their members first and foremost. The rest is history. The moralist rubbish being peddled about is nothing more than strawman justification for whatever narrative is being pushed by either side.  Edited November 24, 2020 by Charles Bolivar 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I firmly believe that all the good evidence strongly suggests that they weren't, but many still remain unpersuaded, so I have pointed to people, in this case a certain HM leader and Boyce, where more evidence should be available one way or the other.  I agree that the forces currently fighting Quack felt threatened by Quack and that this is why they took collectivist measures to defend themselves against them if attacked. The key here is that they were -defensive- measures. I firmly believe that no sphere had a serious plan to attack quack first.  As to why I think it has value, I'd say that this war was started based on false information and it is continuing because people continue to believe said false information. There is a way of verifying if the information is false or not, though, and that's to go back to the sources of the information. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shiho Nishizumi Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 The war is ongoing because of different considerations by either party, and will continue to go on regardless of how much effort you try to pour in. Because many if not most of those said considerations are independent from that subject matter. You could write a thesis for your graduation on this subject, and it'd not move the needle the slightest bit. Which is part the reason why people have told you to quit your self-assigned Messianic task. It's a waste if time that won't lead anywhere. 2 3 Quote  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, I do have to correct some things here. TKR, t$, and TI allied each other before NPO imploded. After NPO left the game, Partisan, Tyrion, and I, along with our FA teams, spent a considerable amount of time talking about what we wanted to do and how to move forward in a post-IQ world. In the end, we didn't agree on how best to do that and TI elected to resolve those disagreements by cutting ties with us and t$ and forming their own sphere, Swamp. It was an amicable split. 1 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also if you care so much about the truth try being objective for once instead of sucking off Tyrion đ¶ -.-  I think I may have figured it out now. Basically, I think that the HM leader who talked to Ronnie about Swamp wanting to "counter Quack's growth" was just talking about the defensive Coalition that Swamp fully admits happened. Ronnie misinterpreted this and said what he said. He actually said that he believed that the plan fizzled out after he hadn't heard about it again, when it was more that the plan he had in mind was just a misinterpretation. At this point, he may have realized his mistake but doesn't want to admit it as he may think it makes his leadership look weak or something to that effect.  Partisan may still believe Boyce's claim that HM/TCW/Swamp was probably going to attack Quack in early December in theory, but in practice, he doesn't really seem to be defending him, so I'm thinking he may have doubts at this point. That's pretty much it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
