The Ghost of Christmas Past - Commentary on GW16

Recommended Posts

So, Global War 16 is over, but the reasons that brought it about are far from settled. Quack continues to insist that they were going to be attacked and most of the rest of the game insists that no, that wasn't going to happen, there were plans to counter Quack should they attack another sphere, but that was all. This is a theme that was brought up to some extent in the Benfro's peace treaty thread:

 

The thread has since died down, but I think it's worth bringing that one point up. Time and again, many on the non Quack side have said that there was no plan to attack Quack first. I have said look, you want to settle what really happened, go to the information sources- Boyce, who made the prediction that tCW, HM and Swamp would attack Quack in December or January and Ronny's HM leader making his ambiguous statement about Swamp wanting to "counter Quack's growth", which led to Ronny interpreting it to mean that Swamp wanted to hit Quack first. Instead, as I think often happens when someone tells 1 or more people a truth that they really don't want to hear, they've attacked me in the forums and also in game (to this day- a peace treaty can't really hold back people who -really- want to attack, they'll just leave their Alliances temporarily). This is certainly something they can do. However, this way of dealing with things is kind of like an ostrich with its head in the sand. Just because Quack refuses to acknowledge the problems in its theories doesn't mean those problems will go away.

Not lying. Scarfalot, who everyone knows is Syndicate, made his own 1 man Alliance, apparently just to attack me. He conducted a bunch of spy operations, looks like was getting ready to attack, so I decided to just attack him first. Now Isjaki's countered, so yeah, I think it'll be over pretty soon.

I would hope your government would take some action against you for your NAP-breaking actions.

Sigh, please keep up. First, Scarf left his Syndicate Alliance precisely so he could attack me. Second, he attacked me first with spy ops...

Ah shit yeah, your previous 15 threads hadn't convinced me, but yeah this is the one.

 

I admit that's a bit funny :-p. However,  you're not the only one in the audience. Some may just be starting out and only have a vague idea as to why this global war started, or the significance of the opposing narratives on its origin.

If you cant remove my name from your mouth, can you atleast spell my name correctly?

Sorry Ronny :-p. I've edited my OP now.

I don't even read your posts, I just downvote it.

A shame. If you actually read my posts, you might learn something. Especially considering you claim to want to fight for justice...

What I've learned is Phoenyx gets especially loud right after he's been attacked. It's an ongoing trend, and apparently works weather he's the aggressor or defender. Guess I did learn something.

 

Other than the first 2 wars I got into on behalf of my first Alliance as part of the Global War, I've never actually attacked first. Aggressive spy ops do count as a first strike even if they are not an official declaration of war.

You caught wind of a plot to attack you so you decided to start the war on your terms? 

Where have I heard this story before?

 

Lol :-p. A good catch, but it's only due to my lack of forethought in what I said. He had actually attacked me first with aggressive spy ops. The only thing I did is made the war between us official.

Phoenyx I'm having a hard time believing your story because Sir Scarfalot adamantly denies any plans of attacking you. Those spy ops were just paperless defensive agreements. 

I believe him because based on his conversations with me he seems very trustworthy. He clearly has no possible ulterior motive nor does he have anything to gain by lying to me.
 

Edit* to make it more obvious

 

 

That made me laugh :-). However, I think in the end it's just one more example of the difference between Quack and the forces that went against Quack in GW16. Scarf attacked me simply because of things that I've said. All I did was counter his attacks.

Insist...inst,he exposed himself twice in 1 paragraph!

 

On a side note, phoenyx the old post died off because ppl stopped caring. Go back to being irrelevant.

Or go make a thread regarding the panth war.

15 downvotes to this thread suggests that people still care, in the sense that many don't want to hear what I'm trying to convey.

Many don't want to hear you not because of you ex🅱️osing the illuminati, or something, many people don't want to hear you the same way I wouldn't want to hear a child crying next to me on a long plane journey.

It's irritating.
