what's the deal with the 2 kills?

I had (what I thought was) a nice conversation with iScode last night about the merits of outrunning retals. Now, today, some blindsiding attacks? To misuse an old Wendy's slogan... where's the beef?

"a nice conversation with iScode"

that's where you went wrong

i think SOF declared war on the eastern and western fronts

They're hitting us right now

noo were not, just a misstype in the war room

to quote purposeful1... WE DO WHAT WE WANT!

Sorry for the miscue.....you should contact our accountant and he can deduct your reps from the FA you sent last set.

Hops in the car and gets a Jr. Bacon Cheeseburger and some Chili...

Typical Sof, pick on someone small and call it justified. Some things in this game never change.

If you are too small you shouldn't involve yourself in other people's wars. Did you really think SoF would forget it?

I think they got fed up with not being able to landgrab properly.

At least it will be a fair fight.....

^ _____ ^

Amen to that.

hold me zen, i'm scared :(

^^

Are you referring to that FA debacle a set or two ago? Because my recollection is that MAYBE one FA package was sent in total after we misunderstood the nature of who was FAing who. As soon as we found out that there wasn't any proof of the other side receiving outside FA, we halted all plans to FA, promptly apologized for the misunderstanding, and moved on.

Rather than trying to change the subject, how about just being straight with what the real reason for this is. Is it to exercise an out clause with another alliance? Is it just for sh*ts and giggles? Is it to protest landtrading (even though LCN's a newcomer to that scene)?

I'm confused, because I've had a good relationship with SoF for a long time (despite hearing opinions to the contrary from other alliances), and I'm wondering why LCN was chosen to be so deserving of this honor.

I suppose that depends. I mean, are we talking pre-TIL days, post, or anyone of the 50 gazillion times one alliance here or another has been allied/enemies or aiding/settling a score?

So it changes nothing really. The only change is if we choose not to respond down the road. I would actually advocate for not responding to stupidity with more stupidity.

Needless to say, Zen's sexy body is what it's all about. The fact that Sof covets it so much is what drove Trife to disclose your phallic praise rituals.

don't make me rename every lcn country to ZENxSHAG

Purp, this war has nothing to do with the grabbing issues this set, you guys openly fa'd our enemy in a close even war, you got involved where you shouldn't.


I just wished we could of included PDM in this FS for the exact same reason.

Thanks for clarifying that SoF isn't capable of a 89 to 72 advantage, ;). (And yes, I know you wouldn't say that, but it's just amusing reading between the lines).

My advice to those not in the war whom are clearly being baited, don't be. Let SoF sweat out a few sets expecting a hit each set. In fairness, it's tough for them to net out of a wet bag, but they wouldn't deny that. So make them come to you.

You're FSing us because we sent one FA package, openly admitted our mistake, then apologized (and we would have sent reps, too)?

We like to net, leave us in peace!

It was much more than 1 fa package, not to mention the untags that got FA before tagging up.

Yes, just like I won the mega millions jackpot much more. Only 4 more numbers!

:)

It's ok. Like I said, I anticipate living up to your guys dreamy views of Zen by faing your opponents in the future. Saying so should give you justification for an almost 10-1 war in two sets. But I demand reparations in the form of a save-the-date and gift registry.

Oh really? I would know. The internal LCN announcement to organize FA became public knowledge hours after it was made. There would have been pact evidence that I'm sure you guys would have brought to my attention if that were the case. There was one FA package sent by one of our leaders, that's it.

Do you have any substantiation for the argument that you're making, or are you really just trying to bait us into starting a server war?

Yeah....we're not capable of 89 vs 72, but capable of winning 90 vs 120....that makes sense!

We'll get through this Trife. I don't care how many BJ's you have to give. We'll get through it.

trumper your not in position to be making demands...


Purp, I dont have a copy of the news feed from your admin tag but I certinly seen LCN countries allied to untags who then tagged up MD.

I had floated that idea as a spy op though, spying the admin news, but the country would have to be an admin holder, if not it would be a failed op. Would be a cool idea.

and no not trying to bait anyone into a server war.

I'm not the one who said, wish we could take on PDM too. You're right though, I shouldn't expect sensical with SoF.

Like I said somewhere else, the game has a long history. I even found an old e-mail to Helmet way back when:

Now, LCN has an excuse to hit Sof forever, bohahahahaha.

See ;).

Zen im afraid you may have to give some to :(

my jaw is going to be sore :(

Which countries?

*You're. (I need to beat Assassin to the punch).

No demands, what, are you going to hit my country? ;).

So I now predeclare an FA package against SoF. I don't know when, I don't know even to whom, but I've predeclared. This way, like North Korea and South Korea, I can know that a constant state of war exists and deliver bellicose rhetoric while marrying a Nascar race chick, otherwise known as Zen.

See, problems solved.

screw it, we all know this is just an excuse to get MD to fight, anyway.

We just need to get MD to FA us.....genius PP1!

If we wanted to fight MD then why would we try and mediate a resolution on the imag/md issue so they didnt go to war?


Thats a baseless accusation.


And i dont have the ally ops, i spied, i seen lcn and informed the heads.

Uh, because you want to fight them, duh.

"informed the heads"? You didn't inform me of anything--I told YOU about the FA when people started asking whether there was FA!

i wasnt requested to contact the alliances fa'ing a second time.


and if we didnt try to mediate a resolution then we would get to fight md when they fs'd imag, by trying to stop that war, we were trying to stop having to war MD again.

Now SoF is acting like the lapdog they are. They should FS every single netting alliance that's not on their side until this server is filled with dead countries and...stuff.

Brave move!

we want our firefly season 2 trife :(

LCN last reset did 1 FA total. I'm not sure where you are getting your info SOF but it was 1

Land grab properly must mean organized land trading, which is so fluffing retarded.

WHY, hasn't anybody mentioned the iScode tag-jumping FA debacle of a few resets ago? I mean aren't you all keeping tabs!?!?!

Sheesh.

When the server moved to L:L, trading was a foregone conclusion. If that's the reason for the war then I can actually take some solace in it. I've always said the only way to stop the inevitable is for a political resolution (war--although you have a lot more folks, including some of your own to tag onto it) or a big change in the actual game play.

Unfortunately, that's not the reason. The provocation is designed to bait others into a war. Claiming otherwise is like saying Japan had a reason for Pearl Harbor, the US aided someone that they provoked. Alas, it's irrelevant.

Or you guys could just say you're trying to spice up the server. It would also make more sense given you're not and never have been much of netters.

The server?? Not everyone moved to L:L

There are what... 3 exceptions I think? All dedicated war clans who dont ever have land and use the lack of l:l to get wars? I could be wrong but I cant think of any other than Sol/Sof/Imag off the top of my head

It could be 1.) warring countries don't have much land 2.) only netters bawl their eyes out and beg for rules to be changed so they can run low D.

Two different world-views....

Until I did the "eat my cake and have it too" thread ;)

Scode: When has an alliance already being at war stopped sof declaring on them anyways before? Especially since PD are warring your arse partners LaF? To be honest, Im surprised SoF hasn't hit PDM already "in defence of their friends at LaF".
Oh wait, you only interfere where the numbers are even, just like RD.
