GFFA Desperate

Balrogga · Post by **Balrogga** » Thu Feb 15, 2007 9:18 am

It appears the GFFA is desperate enough to threaten the Constatine Trade Station because I have three ships and a security force there (as per treaty signed with others there too including Chron) as well as an embasy (again part of the Trade agreement).

TSL and Whyatica sent in fleets to hold the civilian station hostage.

If they are so desperate to go after third party civilian targets then they have lost because their supposed high moral values are gone.

Their interferance starts with Post #78.

What is your opinion?

That this war is a text-based microcosm of Hell. It's ancient history, can we just agree on an end and play out whatever scenarios we absolutely want to play out and let it be done already?

You might want to inform them of that fact because they busted into the Thread with the whole invasion without informing anyone (from what I can tell).

At least we TG or IM them to arrange the battles beforehand instead of dragging in other innocent nations.

Hurm. I can see two responses; stick to the 'neutral port' argument and basically ignore their complaint, forcing them to fire first. Be diplomatic, don't antagonise them, and basically play the victim - try and drag as many other nations into action against them as you can, while not looking too strong.

Alternatively, you can undercut their argument by allowing them to set up shop there themselves, with the obvious disadvantage that they might actually accept. You could always offset this, however, by colouring their actions as undermining nominal goodwill through what amounts to attempted blackmail - ie, "trade with us too or else!"

What about a few strategic strikes against the core systems of those GFFA members that are involved. I for one have entire fleets uncommited. And I have yet to make a GFFA kill. :/

I'd say with going with the victim-playing. We already have the moral high ground, and I'd like to make it even higher. Think what this could do for my propaganda writing...

Wait, there are GFFA members participating in the trade station?

Frak, that completly undermines their position. It's utterly groundless.

You should call them on it.

Cleanse worlds in the name of the Union, purge entire populations until the Solari give up on their pathetic attempts at a threat. Crush and maim and kill until these terrorist dogs can fight no more.

The GFFA have further handed us the moral high ground, on a plate.

Since I don't want to go grave digging with the Kendari thread, does everyone else in that section of the campaign feel that way too? I've been trying to get some motivation to write up a post, but if most of Alpha Squad has abandoned it (Due, in part to me wasting away two months between Kendari's last post and now) I'm not going to.

What say you Alpha Squad? (Not to derail this topic, just trying to get a concensus.
