Greetings to all the fine sim country presidents and CEOs. I have been having a blast with the ski trip.
However, I was truly missing this world of make believe. So now it is back to business.
So first things first. I wish to extend a great big note of thanks to both Ms. Wendy ShcyzMattiCa of Little Upsilon, and Mr. Crossdale of Little Upsilon for offering rebuttals to the outrageous demands of the unscrupulous, and psychotic Mr. Johanas Bilderburg of Little Upsilon a.k.a Mr. Sam Houston a.k.a Quetzalcoatl God of War. For your bold defense for my rights I am truly grateful.
Next I must address the fact that upon my return to the office my Administrative Assistant, Ms. Cindy Blue has reported to me that neither Mr. Dubhthaigh of Little Upsilon a.k.a Caretaker, nor Mr. Stuart Taylor of Little Upsilon has attempted to contact me concerning setting up a meeting to try to work out some kind of of a peace agreement. Perhaps all of Ms. Wendy's and Mr. Crossdale's rebuttals finally made you realize the error in Mr. Houston's line of logic. I am more inclined to believe that you feel that your time is perhaps more valuable then mine. Additionally, I am inclined to believe that you think that my thoughts on the state of this conflict do not matter. Whatever the case may be I suppose I do not really care what your excuses may be. I will state for the record that I do not believe you were ever willing to listen to my side of this whole grizzly and cruel war between myself and LDI. Nor were you prepared to be faithful, and neutral mediators, but that your real agenda was to try to force upon myself and my federations your own ideas of how the conflict should be solved.
This leads me to my next topic. I have consulted with both my accountant and my lawyer concerning the ramifications of your proposed peace agreement.
Mr. Jim Wiess, my accountant, advised me that I should not give up any of my countries. He stated that he believed that the amount of entertainment derived from the countries that I own provided the greatest return of all of my entertainment investments. He also stated that W3 Creative had indeed made a mmog that is a worthwhile investment. He further stated that just because some nosy third party tries to impose their will on me does not mean that I have to go along with their belligerence. Finally, he went on to state that the very fact that Mr. Houston was so angered over the fact that I was not dumping any of my countries was well worth the 30 gold coin per month rent that simcountry charges.
Mr. David Greer my lawyer offered several worthwhile insights as well. First he asserted that Mr. Caretaker's proposed peace agreement was not a binding agreement for me since I had not agreed to it in either a written or a verbal format. Additionally, this agreement is not binding for the United Confederation Federation as our charter has very specific language concerning all such international agreements:
<!-Quote-!>Quote:Article II, Section 3, Agreements:
No agreement is considered official unless both a majority of members of The United Confederation have approved of it and the agreement is in writing. Until an agreement has become official it will only be considered binding with the member that proposed the agreement and the other player, federation or common market. No agreement made should sacrifice any member of The United Confederation who has not violated this Charter.<!-/Quote-!>
Mr. Greer also stated that since the 2 countries of mine that are in question were never involved in the war with LDI, and that their worth is much more than that of a C3 that they should in no wise be considered as "war C3s." Conversely there are 2 of Mr. Johanas Bilderburg of Little Upsilon countries that were involved in the war and are about equal in worth to a C3. So I will assert that if anyone should be dumping any countries it is that Mr. Johanas Bilderburg of Little Upsilon should dispose of his 2 war C3s: Shooter One and Shooter Two.
I will however make no such outrageous demand of Mr. Johanas Bilderburg of Little Upsilon. I believe that he should have the same freedom that I am seeking, to run his empire however he sees fit. This is something that I had tried to impress on Mr. Stuart Taylor of Little Upsilon. I will not give in to anyone's desire to impose his or her will on me and on the way that I run my empire. You Mr. Stuart Taylor of Little Upsilon said you did not want to allow this to occur either, but what about this statement from you.
<!-Quote-!>Quote:Hey All. I have been approached by a member of LDI who states that certain opposing countries are still in place in violation of the peace treaty.
I am informed that all LDI members have withdrawn to an agreed distance, and would appreciate it if opposing forces could do the same.
There are also countries which retain there 'war name', and if these could be changed, it would ensure peace for a slightly unstable LU.
Thankyou.<!-/Quote-!>
You Mr. Stuart Taylor of Little Upsilon are even trying to dup everyone into thinking that there is a peace treaty, when at the very most what we have is a cease fire agreement. There is a big difference.
Finally I ask for you to consider this Mr. Stuart Taylor of Little Upsilon you made the following statement in another thread that is exactly opposite to what I perceive you have tried to formulate in this thread.
<!-Quote-!>Quote:Ah. Thanks for the quote Sam. Anyway, I take it that you are the agressor here Wendy? As a neutral bystander, surely that if an innocent country is attacked, they have the right to either defend themselves or offer peace on their terms? The agressor in any situation should not be able to dictate peace terms, but should wait and see what is offered or agreed to, unless they have been continuously proveked. Have you been continiously provoked Wendy?<!-/Quote-!>
It is my belief that since LDI was the aggressor I should have the right to defend myself against LDI. Furthermore that LDI should not be dictating any terms towards me or towards any of the presidents in my confederations. So perhaps you Mr. Stuart Taylor of Little Upsilon should start minding your own business and remain a "neutral bystander." Because the following statement is how I am now prone to perceive you.
<!-Quote-!>Quote:The purpose of every belligerent is to impose his will on his opponent. Trying to induce others to abide by one's wishes is a common human aim, applicable to individuals and groups as well as nations. The only distinction between ordinary human disputes and war is that war is an act of violence in which one side exerts force against the other side. If a side could attain its purpose without force it, of course, would do so, since no nation will attack unless there is resistance. For this reason the nineteenth-century Prussian theorist Carl von Clausewitz defined war as the continuation of national policy by other means.<!-/Quote-!>
So MY final answer is I will keep what is mine and I shall not entertain further discussion to any opposing demands.!!! Final thoughts.
The more I have had to deal with the LDI and various others that are wanting to post in these forums in opposition to Ms. Wendy ShcyzMattiCa of Little Upsilon, the more I realize that she sees a valuable truth.
I would like to shout that truth out to all of simcountry "Belligerents beware!! You may think you are so powerful but in reality it is just a game, and I do not care just how powerful you might think you are. If you want to confront me with an unprovoked war I am going to hurt you. As was noted in another thread my army got stronger but LDI's army shrunk. Stats Stats In closing my real life boss is overjoyed that I unleashed such a tumultuous assault of nuclear disasters against LDI, and continued to encourage me to "Nuke em some more, nuke em again for me!!!" Mr. Johanas Bilderburg of Little Upsilon lay down your King! Now! Mr. Nute Gunray the Viceroy
