Thought I smelt crap when I perused the topic...Painting BoB, Jericho and 5 as the good guys in this is hilarious. The only thing you got right with your tarring brush was they want[ed] an unstable North. You telling me that if your friends and neighbours set your enemies to positive you wouldn't be ****ed off? Xelas nap like its going out of style. Xelas was out for itself, and nobody else. They got what was coming to them. Personally I wouldn't stand by and let a group open up a strategic region to the enemy. Would you? Further more what does it say of Xelas to actually do it? I wouldn't trust them as far as they could be kicked...to Bob's place
My purpose in this thread was to show the irony of the latest ACTIONS in 0.0. PA, the noble, peace loving, blah, blah, blah, Pearl Harbored their ALLY while the ebil, naughty BoB came to the defence of their one time enemies when they saw them being dishonorably gang-****** by their neighbors.
I find this funny and telling of the true nature and honor of people. Not in some bull**** charter or lame-ass smacktalk, but in the actual ACTIONS of these corps. And as an example of insanly stupid foreign policy.
Would I be ****ed of if a neighbor set a percieved enemy to positive? Sure. But that is what diplomacy is for. That is what discussion is for.
The smart thing for PA to have done would have been to cut Xelas off from Venal, let them fight TFE with no chance of resupply and stipulated that they could only renew travel rights if they agreed to a satus change with BoB. This would have allowed PA to keep it's honor, TFE to get it's blood, and Xelas a fair-fight.
As for this post not being very timely, I apologize if it doesn't meet the high journalistic standards expected on these forums.
First, JF didn't say that you were right and PA was wrong. I read the post and I quote: Originally by: some JF member
"since the majority of our past good interactions with the PA came under post-GNW Cochise and 20th Legion, who offered good will and trade pacts, and the majority of our past bad interactions involved the likes of Occassus Republica and other older PA corps, the choice is very clear."
Second, Cochise decided your fate for you by thinking that the other northern alliances wouldnt mind him napping bob/5. His excuse was that his miners apparently have itchy trigger fingers and he didnt want them shooting bob/5. LMFAO.
Third, PA took their three days to figure out the mess, I'm sure you could have been involved in that effort since Cochise was certainly there. But since you weren't, and this all is over and done with, I'd suggest you move down to Fountain where BoB was kind enough to set up the best mining region in-game especially for you.
PS: calling people pirates is sooooo last year.
Chowdown: Its going to be embarrasing being called Fountain Alliance and not living in Fountain. |
