I just read 10 pages of this in a row, and I may well have gotten brain cancer.
I'm no closer to understanding this war, except that apparently Squids are determined to take the low road this strat, dick whoever they want, and justify it by saying it makes somebody mad. There are about 5 straight pages of "lol, he mad" in this thread.
Ask yourselves - is this the faction you want to support?
Half the shit being talked about in this thread isn't stuff anyone else was present for, but was steam/teamspeak diplomacy being gratuitously leaked. So, distasteful as I find it, I'll add one more bit of information from TS for the record. I was at the meeting where Wesley and a couple others were talking about the merc agreement we had honestly forgotten about, because it was apparently discussed only once weeks/months back, not posted on Diplomacy, and hadn't come up since. I asked them if we had done anything to hurt their faction as a result of this lapse of memory, and they admitted, straight up, that we had not, it just hurt their feelings. Then they went back to badgering James, and negotiations, predictably, came to an end. About one day later, they started this war.
Other than that, I'd just like to thank Daruvian (and Sandy) for providing the only entertainment in this thread, and trying to elevate the discourse to a more tolerable type of shitpost. I really never thought I'd say this but
you actually are the light in the darkness
At last I truly see.
