Declaration of Intent - IMO

[Hawk]

Pk has been attacked by TMN and Admiral Black Pants to an extreme extent. This is a warning to IMO that ALL of their members will be considered fair targets in this war. This is mainly because TMN benefits from the large amount of voodoo acquired from these members which has been levied against us. I was against such a tactic at the start of the war, but when an enemy shows no restraint and an intent to completely crush an opponent I decided it was an acceptable course of action.

You have been warned, please inform your members that do not check the forums

the real problem here is, is that your THREATENING US AGAIN!! TMN/IMO DEFENDED itself against a guild that had its members asking NEWBIES for inside info for gold (a new player wouldnt yet understand the info's worth) thus taking advantage of the new players that you now say are the new targets.... I would HOPE that some of the more experenced players wouldnt stand for this, as the newbies are the future of this game. The IMO is a training guild for new players and you want them to be fair game? Harly fair. We have had this defense built up because we knew that you would be coming after us. It was a well known fact and many players knew about the planned attack on us proven by your secondary tactics now. So, we decided not to endure the attack but to defend ourselves and end the threat. Our guild will always defend ourselves to the best of our abilities. Long live TMN!!!

Nice diplomatic skills Hollywood

In my opinion and that of those who have expressed themselves to me, some of which aren't in the IMO and never have been, IMO is not a training guild but more of a collective like the Borg in Star trek where new players are assimilated to be sapped of their voodoo and votes for helpful players. It may be a place for them to learn but from the reports, it is not even close to a "training guild". To those reading this, remember that I have no personal experience with the inner workings of IMO or TMN. I have been in the Pirate Kings. Roileon has invited players to visit his guild. I have helped to support and direct some players in the IMO, TMN, PK, RUM, and am working on getting a member of IPA to accept my support just because they have the right nationality for compatibility with my intentions.
Each has been informed to be loyal to their guild and have done so with one exception. That one exception is not allowed to speak of the inner workings of the IMO in any detail due to potential conflict of interests. She has asked to join my guild after leaving IMO and has been accepted. In AVOID, we have guides with basic strategy to success in the guild forums. I ask that questions be presented to me so that I know what's important to the guild members. If you use your members and don't give them experience and training, they will be attacked. I tell my guild members and anyone else who complains of attacks that if they were not voodoo attacked to create a vulnerability then their suffering is their own fault. Your new players are your responsibility. You pulled them into your collective. The attacks they receive when they are new should show them that they need you but you should show them why they need you as much as you need them. Teach them to stay safe if you don't want them to be attacked. If you require that their voodoo go to the guild leader, they have no use for information about those voodoo cards. AND BEFORE YOU POINT FINGERS, I learned of the voodoo rule from several players outside of IMO so it has been obvious that some members are disgruntled in the IMO for having been used this way. You might as well take responsibility for any suffering that your new players endure if you shelter them from the training that you claim to provide.
As for specifically targeting new players, I will come to the defense of any new player being voodooed to create a vulnerability until I have nothing left to offer. As for hitting players who are on the plunder list of their own doing, help yourself. Their guild leaders may learn to train them after they find that they are targets due to association.

Defend??? I wasnt even part of the war u idiot..i refused rois alliance cos i had no reason to join it..but u vooodoed me..assaulted me then obliterated me???

[M0nkeydluffy]

In our war with tmn in the past..i specifcally tell our members not to target imo cos theyre newbs..and our policy was nevee to obliterate opponents like u did to me..especially an opponent that wasnt even paet o the war..its over??? Nah..uve left me with nothing..my fetters are off now..hellfire comerh

[Xepshunall]

Sounds like a case of justifiable mass homicide is about to occur. I can't be partial when truth and justice need to be seen. Go, Luffy, Go!

How long this war is taking place?
Aren't you going to set some timelines? Or objectives? You are just fighting to the bitter end?

The time to act is now

WOW... a very twisted version of recent happenings, Luffy, you left out the parts about using FOX (which had Juicy as a fake member)(I know easily explained right??) attacking both IMO and TMN members as well as Skyhawk and pandah doing the same to provoke a war. Pandah was casting voodoo on ABP last week, and when I asked him as to why, he simply replied "I was told to remove the mindbar" really??, by who... no reply, and of course theres you... are you really saying that you Didnt make ME personally everyones target?? what are we supposed to do... sit by and watch it happen?? I tried diplomatic paths with Pandah, but always got the old "what... I dont know what your talking about!!??" and it is a well known fact that PK was looking for war with TMN as I was warned by members of other guilds, and to also create a door to make TMN make the first move so PK will look innocent. Again I ask.... what are we supposed to do?? wait for your "levi trigger finger" to get too itchy?? we had already withstood multiable attacks in the previous week with no response. we didnt want this in the first place!! and Not that IMO is any of your business on how we work within, but think for a minute, it seems that everyone thinks ABP is greedy because we insist on members of IMO make her their present buddy, well when they do this, dont they also get the same present as well?? no loss, or oppression here is there, whats the problem?? again, im not sure how this pertaines to anyone in PK is beyond me, what would everyone like? for us to instruct OUR members to do?? send some to other people... like maybe you??, I dont think so.
3rd. the verbal abuse you used w/ ABP was SERIOUSLY uncalled for!! and for those of you who wish to know, because I wont re-post it here... ABP sent him a IGM to Apologize because a member of IMO attacked his fleet after the "cease-fire" was issued because she hadent posted it in the IMO yet, his reply was 2 words that can be given the innitals "F-U"... a class act representing Pirates Glory?? in turn all of us.... to a newbie, thats what they would see. You put my honor in question!!?? just before reading the drivel posted here, I sent you an IGM myself letting you know that we did feel the need to leave you a fleet of sol's so you could defend yourself with "but not fom us as I have called a cease-fire".... to INFORM YOU that we didnt leave you defenceless and oblitterated.... all trade boats and a FLEET OF SOL's (that there next use would be against us) as we thought, BUT DID IT ANYWAYS!! MORE THAN YOU LEFT ME LAST TIME... ISNT IT!!?? and you stand here in front of all your peers and call ABP and I bullies!!?? I HOPE that the players here can try and see that TMN was fending off a "Clear and Present danger" that was comming for all of us....ME in particular, we CERTAINLY did not ask for a war however it was brought to us, we tryied to fight it off in the first 24 hours and did well I might add, and then I was notified of an iminant attack that was aimed at me as well as the TMN, I felt Backed into a corner with nowhere to go and nowhere to hide or a diplomatic reasoning being possable, we fought WGD118, Zombie Jesus, Mohammad, Juicylettuce, Pandah, morningsun, Skyhawk and I forgot the other name, not to mention Roileon which you will claim not to be in charge of his actions (who believes this) and after trying all these options, still the threat of a serious attack, so.... we did what we thought would END this war. you certainly dont need to answer to me here, but ask yourself inside... "I really DIDNT leave them any other options.... did I??"
I am truly sorry for this ending this way, but we felt there was no other option left, and as I saw it, it was destroy or be destroyed, and we beat you to the punch.
All can judge as they seem fit. in the end I know im right, and sleep well on my decisions here.

Sincerely,
