Biggest Load of BS and clearing the air... so to speak

lol true, but acting as the pope pissed me off, I'm catholic (not a strong believer but still catholic) and I find it largley insulting that someone can say they are the pope, spiritual leader of Lu, and the Vicar of god.

Bomb them and they wouldn't be the god no longer

What just happened?

Hez got accused of multi-playing so his slave stepped down without any reason? Making it obvious much?

Lord Arbuckle, you apologize to Wendy for your fed defending you?????!!!! You did not condone???!!!! You have the highest respect for Wendy...???!!!!

Dear gawd. Good thing you aren't in my fed. I'd kick you out. ha ha ha ha

I thought that section may garner responses such as yours seven devils.

Yes i do apologize to her, not for my fed defending me, but for any attacks against her countries by my fed buddies considering she did not fire a single shot at mine!

Condone? No, I had no idea what was happening with hers or any LUDO countries after the war expired.

'Highest Respect' was not the term i used. I said 'new found respect'. And to be honest, How can one not?

And i hope members in LUDO arent offended by these statements as offending my defenders is not what i wanted to do. I like LUDO and want to stay in LUDO however if they do want me out because of the statements above i will voluntarily leave the fed.

Pope-
Accepted if you are truly leaving

Mr Arbuckle.

Think for a moment, if YOU go to a theme park and YOU make the decision to strap in and ride one of the scariest roller coasters in the park but as YOU begin going up the first incline right before the first huge drop, can YOU suddenly stop the whole roller coaster and and claim that YOU no longer want to ride?

The point is that once the roller coaster has started, can YOU rightly ask the members of the LUDO to stop the roller coaster? Once aggression is exhibited, then the aggressor is responsible for the 'rough ride' that results from starting it.

Maybe next time, you can assume the full responsibility for your own defense. Sorry that Hydra at the request of your loyal fed-mate Jack intervened and saved you. It wont happen again. My apologies on behalf of Hydra and all those that assisted.

Jason

what do you mean arbuckle ? are you seriously saying that i was wrong for defending you ?

with the help of many great players and myself we defend your 100,000,0000 pop country and you apoligize to wendy. i am very confused, why such admiration for wendy. do you really think you would still own the country had we not stepped in ? the only reason she didnt fire a shot arbuckle is because she couldnt i took every offensive weopon and base out of the equation. i am beside myself right now , put that much time and effort to help a fed mate that messaged me for help just to have you apoligize to wendy ? well next time she attacks you dont message me ...try apoligizing to wendy see how far that gets you

Hez, pope, Gaddfi, Herold....

Could they all be mults?

Serpent, Agreed. I am wrong.

Look, after reading some beginers documentation regarding war etc, obviously in hindsight, my statements are wrong and i will try and explain myself.

Ive been playing SC now for about a year (??maybe less or more??) and i have not really done much of the war side of the game besides c3 wars to extend my empire. i pretty much play just the economic side of the game with my little cluster and my CEO and just pretty well keep to myself.

My countries are usually all in secured mode because i dont want situations like this to happen, but this time they were out of secured mode...

To be honest I didnt know what was happening (once war was declared), apart from the 8 or so fed msgs i recieved with a few intructions such as set up int wings and special forces etc... but after that, nothing, i was pretty much just anxiously waiting, buying defensive arms, and building units etc.... then, war ended.
NO ONE TOLD ME WHAT WAS GOING ON OR WHAT TO DO, Who attacked what or who. I knew nothing.

Jackseptic and also LUDO in general i am sorry.

This is the first i knew you took out what you did and made her offense inoperable, leaving her unable to shoot a single shot.... no one told me anything, i didn't and stil don't know where to look to even see what the hell is going on! All i knew was that the war expired and Jackseptic took her countries, I dont know how war works, for that im sorry for being a NOOB.

Your actions in the defense of my countries deserve more gratitude than one can give. i am so thankful... Again mate, your previous post is seriously the first i heard anything about the actual defense.

Ive only just read in the beginners guide, how important offense is at defense... had no idea.
so again jackseptic and LUDO in general i am sorry...

And look, until i have gained war experience and find people to have practice wars/training etc and also i supose more SC experience in general, i will remove New Lucion from LUDO and i wont bother you or LUDO again.

I AM A NOOB... Sorry for wasting your time with this thread.

And Jack sorry man, one more thing, Respect is what i had for Wendy, respect for not firing a single shot, I didnt know she couldnt, thanks to you.
You have my Admiration and Respect.
I cant thank you nor apologize enough.

Lord Arbuckle,

You really aren't my problem to deal with. You are Jack's. However, as I and my group are allied with Hydra and Jack, I will say this....... I question your loyalty to your federation and your leader after said remarks. Jack has put up his country and military assets to defend you, and this is the thanks he gets?????? I have nothing further to say to you. I don't know you as a player, but this by you, I don't respect.

I understand Arbuckles post. Its conceivable that he didnt really know what was involved in the war process. Arbuckle seems like a stand up kinda guy, maybe just got caught up in the whole mess. Thats why its important to learn as much as you can from your fed-mates. Jack is a great fed-mate in Hydra, a member that any fed would be happy to have, and Mr Arbuckle acknowledges that. He apologized for his last statement and his explanation seems reasonable enough, for me at least.

The only point I was trying to convey is that when somebody starts a particular situation, you cant complain when the outcome is different that what you might have hoped or expected.

Jason

Sorry Jason, I disagree, and my comment still holds. Why would he have not consulted with his mates first and get the facts before posting against his leader's actions????? It seems to me by his posts above he got SweetPea's side of the story, eh? So who is he conferring with???

That's it! We are at war! How dare you disagree with me!

Back to the issue... It seems to me that is kinda what he's apologizing for!

ha ha ha ha ha Jason

As to Arbuckle....

Too late!!!! Off wif his head.........AND his shoes!!!

Now I feel bad.........

FINE!!!! He can keep his head........but I WANT HIS SHOES!!

I heavily thinking about my "flight" to LU NLUO after seeing this thread, membership commitment is so weak that they might all just resign and leave now after some mere Forum Fight.

Well, if you desire to continue your 'flight' to the LU NLUO and wish for more than a Forum Fight, your more than welcome!

Ok SD, I agree with you, I agree with everyone... My comments were wrong and misguided, so to were my actions. I DO NOT CONTEST THAT, WHATSOEVER.

I accept responsibility and I am not trying to shift the blame, nor trying to get out of a bad situation, I accept responsibility and am taking on board all criticism.

I cannot apologize enough nor can I thank enough.

I am merely trying to provide a explanation.

I am pretty much ECON player. This was my first p2p war (scare more than anything).
I don't know how war works. The war ended. Why didn't she attack me? was it diplomacy? was it the LUDO deterrence? at the time i had no idea why. I seriously did not know that jack took preemptive actions to stop it from happening. I simply did not know what happened.

I thought everything was all good and cosy. Then I read Wendys countries were taken and i thought, well she left me alone... why did that have to happen? Was it necessary? OBVIOUSLY IT WAS! I just lacked the knowledge and understanding that it was absolutely necessary. I pretty much saw it like this... war declared, i called for help, LUDO arrived, LUDO detered the threat, war expired, Jack took her countries. Thats how i saw it because i didnt know any better.

Basically, I lack knowledge and understanding of even the basics of the war game. Good offense = Better Defense yeah? I understand more now or at least am trying to, and i will continue to do so.

Since this has happened i have read a lot of beginners info to try and learn more, and i have. I don't want this to happen again.

I am not scared to admit fault... I WAS WRONG.
AGAIN I APOLOGIZE.

Mr. Secretary General,

With all do respect, I do not believe I can effectively carry out my office as Secretary of State with me being associated with being King Hezekiah's Multi, and King Hezekiah's slave.

In this, I do not believe that I will be taken seriously, therefore I have no choice but to resign my office. It is with great sadness that I do this. I don't want to leave the NLUO or LU. Maybe a face lift will help my image, but I seriously doubt it. Maybe I should have not come here as the Pope. Maybe it was a mistake.

I was simply speaking out against Serpent's actions against King James the Fair. I was then accused of having King Hezekiah's words on my post or something to that affect.

In light of this, I must withdraw from the LU community, NLUO, and Hydra. I thank you for all playing the game with me. It was fun for a while. I suppose all fun must come to an end.

Thank you and goodbye.

How about a few guesses as to what human form the pretend pope will be reincarnated into next.

I bet he reappears as Abraham Lincoln VII.
Stove pipe hat, roman numerals, world leader - Abe VII would be a natural choice. You're welcome hez II and pope VI.

Edgar LXIX

lol
as long as he isn't insulting my religion, im good.

I made the point, Arbuckle, so you would see how it comes across. You don't have to apologize to me, and I am glad that you did so to Jack. Jack's a good guy and a good and fair leader.

I still want your shoes though. :P
