Between returning Capella to it's rightful owners and now allowing for a Kurita Kentares War Memorial, Davion is being most accidentally generous.

Don't worry. We'll take much better care of the people trapped in your war machine than you ever did. Your troops die with a sincerity any Kuritan can appreciate as displaying the finest standards of makoto. Truly, Sincerity is the end and the beginning of all things, for without Davion's sincerity it would be nothing.

We grant you the choice of where and how to end- but end you must, The best of you will do so well enough to be footnotes in history. Examples of wisdom-come-late, but I expect the lessons while dying gracefully in service to your Prince (by gracefully, I mean "burning to death in your cockpits") will take many more worlds until it is done. Perhaps all of them. I would hope for your inevitable revolt against the crazed butcher Hanse to come sooner rather than later.

Or you can surrender now. With attacking Steiner, you proved yourself servants of the most insane leader in the Inner Sphere by managing to make every other Succession House your enemy. Remorseful units would unconditionally surrender to the administration of the previously "Federated" worlds by their fellow Successor States, though we will leave the few capital worlds to soak up the inevitable mental defectives that cannot accept a more harmonious order under the aegis of the Concort of Kapteyn. Let them rant and rave there. New Avalon is already a house of bedlam anyway, but once the Fox's teeth are pulled, it can no longer do anything but foam impotently at the mouth and serve as a madman, leading his fellow inmates in throwing their pudding about the cafeteria and drawing rude figures on the walls with their own bodily humors before the trio-thorazine kicks in.

Until that august day, this topic can serve to hold your fanatical cries for "resistance" and "victory", the better that in the future we may show your children how deeply the sickness of Davion had sank into their ancestors. Be well, soon. We will help.

So wait a second. We clubbed you guys down, brutally and constantly and daily, for like 2 months. Liao was never and has never been a big priority for Davion; we fight Liao when nothing else is going on. Nothing in Liao we want just that Liao only has 1 thing to do; attack Davion. There was a cry for Liao to go fight the Clans but that got no traction.

Now that most of Davion is empty and we can *still* roll Liao back in NA timezone if we even half try, you want us to surrender?

Get serious. It's not over, it's barely even started. I'm glad Liao finally has some success to be proud of. I hope that when the pendulum swings back and Davion is back to rolling Liao until Liao goes back to rageposting about how unfair it all is (again) you'll remember the silliness of this thread.

Ebb and flow buddy. Ebb and flow. You can already see the river of success spilling away from Kurita, their flare in the spotlight of victory brief and bright. We wagonwheeled them the other day, in NA CF timezone it's already turning around. At this point it's just a matter of time.

This doesn't even deserve an ironic NKVA mocking 'ha ha ha ha'.

The path you choose for Liao is one that involves your success only happening when nobody is paying attention to you or taking you seriously. Is that what you want? You're never going to be the biggest threat to Davion. That's never going to happen. Is all you want for your house to be that fight one of your neighbors has when nothing else is going on?

What an unfortunate waste of potential. Marik is leading somewhere real and useful and significant. You have a path before you that leads somewhere other than being 'oh, yeah, and those guys. We got some pugs to send down there?'

TL;DR But I'm guessing it would be more amusing if you read it in Kim-Jong-Un's voice. That was your intent right? To amuse us?

Foolish yellow Capellan! The Maskirovka must really be working on their brain washing techniques! Let me ask, have you earned your citizenship yet or is that still being held from you under your Houses brutal dictatorship? Once the dragon has bled out from fighting multiple fronts and all Davion worlds have been freed from the shadow of the dragon WE WILL look to free our St. Ives brethren from your clutches. You only re-took the compact with thief by night tactics when almost all Davion forces had moved to our northern border to stem the tide of Combine scum fleeing invasion of CSJ!

Events tend to go in cycles. that which has come up before will likely come up again. The Dragon already ebbs. At least our position of strength lasted 6 weeks or so, you guys got, what, 2 or 3?

The real question becomes if Davion returns to even half its prior strength where will Kurita have to run away to? You should start setting up excuses to attack FRR perhaps. See if you can get PGI to open up the Periphery for you, so you can bravely chase pirates for the glory of the Combine... while leaving your worlds to be conquered by your enemies.

Well, unless some brave mercs show up to save your people.

Liao at least show up themselves. If Kurita had Liaos persistence there would be a Kurita worth bragging about.

Actually, we ended up talking to some of our long-term mercs and units. Gatekeepers regularly sends actual unit-sized defense groups, and we've got a few of our merc groups on FRR contracts now instead to help. We may be small, but we certainly put our military where our mouths are.

Ah, Davion mil-thought at it's finest. We aren't losing worlds, and we just keep sending troops until a Davion world folds. Perhaps it's because we don't just seem to think the NA timezone is the be-all-end-all of warfare.

Also, apparently you stopped trying. Even getting chewed up, we never did. And kept to our allies, worked together, and are now happily, patiently, relentlessly pushing you off our worlds.

Also, we don't have this strange idea that to defeat an opponent, you must kill them. Supreme excellence consists in breaking the enemy's resistance without fighting, after all. If we can't have that, we'll just have to keep taking worlds as opportunity allows until you DO stop fighting and simply surrender them and go fight somewhere useful under another flag.

The state of the Federated Suns is an abomination, bloated with it's ambition, egotistical in it's supposed supremacy and even when it's enemies dominate it, continues to maintain the illusion of superiority. The Confederation does not consider itself anything more than what it is- a state which can maintain it's borders with diplomacy when the neighbor is virtuous, and with force and diplomatic allies when the neighbor is a rapacious horde of conquest. In other words, civilized. Unlike you.

Well, you're pushing us off your worlds for the most part still.

So your approach is 'don't be worth fighting'. Okay.

Marik has taken a ton of worlds and attacked Davion out of the gate. We had a lot of back and forth with them. We also created, promoted and maintained a number of ceasefires.

However your point isn't to present anything honest; you're finally in a position to win some fights for a bit and so you want to preen. I totally get it. Preen away. I'm just laughing at the blatant, on its face absurd idea that because Liao has won a few fights that Davion is going to surrender or that Liao is even ever going to be a serious threat. It has decided to be something that gets addressed when everything else is done.

That's a choice you guys seem to have made. If that's the purpose you want, well, good on you. Not sure it's something to brag about.

Davion and Steiner, the IS enablers of the Clan's invasion, Smug hypocrites who are overbearingly arrogant when they have the power and unbelievably whiny when they encounter a bumpy road, yes they still wonder why no one else likes or trusts them.

Abivard, its a good thing nobody takes you as being FRR. Won the pug lotto on the FRR border last night and helped roll back CI from one of your worlds in a drop comprised almost completely of Steiner and Davion pugs.

Its a frustrating truth that at some times of day you can easily get drops with Fedcom pilots on the FRR border but not the Davion or Steiner ones.

I won't say "you're welcome" because firstly you wouldn't be and second we go there out of respect for Marik and the nSL, nothing more.

You do realize that almost every post you make is whining that everyone isn't helping you enough? There are some amazing FRR units and rockstar pilots there. You do them little justice.

Interesting. From my perspective, you've all but given up on the Kurita border, signed a ceasefire with Marik, and continue to bleed planets to Liao, against whom you've redoubled your efforts. But no, I guess the smallest faction in the game is nothing to concern yourselves with, which is of course why you continue to be defeated by them.

Dear Coordinator smiles upon you, Capellans.

There's no real 'ceasefire' with Marik. They attack every day, turrets or not. In fact Marik has been the most consistent source of attacks on the Davion border. They've taken more Davion worlds than Kurita has. The only valid counter-attack world we have against Marik is actually in the Roadbeer Island while PGI feeds Marik a narrow band of worlds around Terra. I don't believe I've seen any unit dropping on the Liao border in days. We had a push and held Liao off Capella for the NA timeframe but they've got a solid 3 companies on in the Russian timezone and we can't match that. NA time we can handle Liao just fine; no point though because after we go to bed they come out in force. Not a complaint about Liao; if we don't show up that's all on us.

Ebb and flow. 22ndAL has been occupied with training and internal stuff and beyond that when we play it's generally after NA CF and the only action at that time is in the FRR. If there's enough other Davions around willing to play CW to fill a 12man we'll drop Kurita border but lately?

That's about it.

You just wish I was whining, that way you wouldn't feel so out of place. Your such a lame assed troll, I would almost rather be a clammer than have you on my side.

Now go ahead and try and make it out that I m calling your faction out, ot even all the IS houses, I am not, it is you and your Argyle lamers and their constant whiney trolling posts that I dislike. But of course you will have to scream for help by saying I called someone mom a name, typical runt instigator tactics.

I welcome everyone but you to the FRR, you can kiss my shiny metal arse.

You jumped on the nSL band wagon in order to save your butts from all the IS houses you and your unit helped to make enemies of Davion, I understand you personally are one of the main reasons DCMS declined to join, and I understand your presence is also causing many Liao and marik pilots to reconsider the nSL. They are not alone.

So who other than me from the Lancers posts?

So let me get this right.... you troll *constantly* and make some epic troll posts. NKVA takes trolling to an extreme that hasn't been seen since the goon glory days... and you're saying I am why Kurita didn't join the nSL?

Way to go full pre-apology bobF on that one.

I thought you were the one saying that it's common sense that people represent their faction whenever they post and the attitudes it generates towards the faction internally and externally. So are you saying you've had no effect on people's perceptions of Davion with your posts?

Absolutely. I funpost with NKVA in funpost threads and seriouspost in srsbsns threads. Is this whole thread one intended to be taken as thoughtful sharing of ideas?

Do you recall when you guys showed up, right in the middle of Davion/Kurita trying to do friendly handshake over the net stuff like we do with Marik? This is the conversation you created. Are you saying it's not what you wanted?
