YOU can't even agree with what you're saying. By your own analogy, you think that Osama Bin Laden getting murdered and an innocent person getting murdered should be treated the same. That is insane!Quote:

That being said, I agree with Farore, you're a douche, endub.Quote:

You can look at my post count and call me a noob if you like, but I've been around long enough (my first age was Age 3) to know that there is no such thing as "Rules" at the top...there are only half-truths told long enough to gain advantage over someone else. I lost no respect for Debauchery for doing what they did, I thought it was funny. Then the way the went straightway at HoH afterwards was hilarious. Now the shoe is on the other foot...oh well. They knew what would happen in both situation, and made the choice anyways. Seems to me like they are the ones having all the fun, while everyone else is getting their panties in a huge wad...
On a side not, some of you guys who are treating the lesser known players (or newer player) like trash for voicing their opinions need to get a life. That's why most of us (me included), left the game for a while...because it's hard to have fun when everyone just wants to play by themselves like spoiled brats. You think you're special because you have name on a small-time online game that a few thousand people play? Call me when you don't live in your mom's basement... There are a lot of "pros" here who actually try and help people out around here, take a lesson from them...maybe this place will grow then.
If something is legally definable as a murder, the law still applies to the murderer no matter how much of a scumbag the victim was or how much you dislike them. This is seriously off topic though. Like I said, if you want to keep arguing with me over my opinions then PM.Quote:

The argument was that IF he was murdered, nobody would care nearly as much as an innocent person being murdered. Also, agree it's not the same as Utopia. I wasn't the one that originally compared it.Quote:

A guaranteed crown.
You're a moron.
@Farare - By the letter of the law, yes. I agree with you murder is pretty clear cut. However, I don't think many would be upset if someone who murdered Osama Bin Laden didn't get punished for it. As in relation to Utopia, I'm pretty sure SWEA won't be punished for this.
Of course they won't, they're not an unfavored kingdom, whereas everyone swears that the Dealbreakers are the scum of the server more or less. I guess my biggest confusion here is that I don't see why breaking a CF without someone's "permission" is such a huge deal. I have no problem, for instance, with Pew Pew waving Dealbreakers when what I understand is that Dealbreakers was wanting to war SWEA instead. That's just part of the game to me.Quote:

(For that matter, consider how many politicians lie every day - is it any wonder that deals get broken in Utopian politics the way they do in real world politics?)
Everyone in the top 10 is kind of looking like sissies right now (no offense to my fangirl-favorites Pew Pew and AMA). I will never ever believe that Dealbreakers, or any kingdom, deserve to be hit in war by an outside kingdom for breaking a CF and waving when their target kingdom didn't want them to. Even if it means people like you, Endub, think that means my brain is switched off.
PS - At least get my name right. ^.^
Debauchery wanted to war SWEA but SWEA refused to give button, SWEA was 20% bigger, I don't blame any kingdom for not wanting to give button.
Pew said unless there is action with SWEA they will wave, Mansoor knew this.
Pew Pew waved and gave button, everyone had talks with Mansoor asking him to stop hits, he basically told everyone who tried where to stick it. He pumped, I feel bad for him sure, no qualms there, however he had a chance to hit, he knew Pew would hit if he did not, yet he did nothing.
Negotiations from Mansoor are basically "Wave us and we will then push the button whenever we're ready", full knowing they will give a long hostile while pew gave us a few waves in the mean time in exchange for a CF (which I don't blame pew for, they first waved and gave button after all).
Debauch refused to give Mansoor button and said "if you guys give us the button, even though pew pew has waved us we will push it", Mansoor refused.
Debauch basically said they will press the button on pew pew, Mansoor said he will hit into war and proceeded to hit Debauch's banks.
Debauch said they will have a min time war with pew and then open up for Mansoor, he said no tough luck.
AABS tried to talk to him, he said no.
Debauch pushed button.
Mansoor continued hits.
What more to the story is needed.
Change SWEA to kingdom x, change Debauch to kingdom y and change Pew Pew to kingdom z, and everyone would agree this is bs. Abs said "It doesn't matter who the ****playing kingdom is in the top, they want to set an example that that kind of behavior in the top is not acceptable".
All of a sudden in happens to Debauch and the story is now, oh it's acceptable if it's certain kingdoms, but if it doesn't apply to Abs whatsoever, they will look the other way.
Tell me I'm wrong?
@Farore - Got your name right. Anyways, you are correct that any kingdom can break an ingame CF any time they wish. The problem here is that both kingdoms agreed that the CF would stay in place until a certain time with. 48 hour notice deal at the end of it. If someone starts hitting before that time, they just broke their word and their word means nothing. One's word means a lot in the top 10 as does one's word in real life.
In other words, nobody in the top can trust Debauchery.
So endub if one breaks their word in age 50 are they forever branded a deal breaker? If one makes a bet or promise in uto forums and breaks it they are forever branded a deal breaker? And if dodgy action happens to them from a kingdom that had nothing to do with it, that kingdom is...ok? not okay? They are a kingdom in the top 10...what's the verdict? Seems like selective ****listing.
Who in the top can completely trust anyone? Seriously? At the end of the day only one kingdom gets crowned, not 4 kingdoms who are all good friends with each other. Even Hall of Heroes got screwed over by their good buddies Absalom and subsequently got farmed out by Dealbreakers - Debauchery. Every kingdom is ultimately playing for themselves. I don't buy into this fairy tale that everyone in the top 10 (except the dealbreakers) are all good, sterling people who never tell lies.Quote:

Does this mean that I can jump on the bandwagon and get free hits on Debauchery too without any repercussions at all?
Since you see what I like to do, is when I see an ex-convict I steal their car...
And if I see a girl jay-walk then I can rape her, since you know she broke the rules first...
I really hope you've broken some rule somewhere endub because i would soooo love to bend you over and teach you a lesson you won't forget...
Sounds fair right?
You can't read either then. I said "claiming to have standards" because they obviously all have double standards, thus "the hypocrisy that follows". You're retarded, if a KD can't defend themselves if they get waved and can only be at the top if they have CFs then, IMO, they don't deserve to be at the top. The whole idea of "hey guys, time out! I need to reload. (pump/send up a bank/etc)" is bull****.Quote:
