Let now all lies of multipolarity be put to rest

A week or so ago Triyun wrote the blog "The Post Karma Lie of Multi-Polarity." You may have missed it. Like all serious blogs are (as will this one) it was quickly knocked out of sight by the daily swarm of "I'm gay look at me," "What I had for dinner," and "My favorite band" blogs. Ah, well. I didn't completely agree with the argument as laid out, though the thesis was correct. The idea that there is more than one power pole is a lie. And tonight, with C&G's magnificent acrobatics to

Admin Can't Help You

This has been a tears-long trend in posting, but this week I've noticed it more than I've become used to. What's that? The Admin blaming. It's Admin's fault the game is dying. He needs to change the game more often; he needs to advertise more; he needs to encourage dynamic politics; he needs to start at 0 again. It's allllll about Admin. Can I point something out--with all due respect to Admin. Aside from creation, this game didn't hit 40,000 nations because of anything Admin did. No adv

Rolling in the Deep

This post is best experienced while listening to: Your summary gives a half-treatment to the issues. NPO didn't just "adopt" responsibility for the coalition, they were responsible for the war; they organized it for like 4 months prior. Then they did the exact opposite of take responsibility: They announced that they weren't anyone's boss. Then Brehon disappeared. NPO is not simply some passive object "example of the conflicts of interest." NPO actively schemed with its Umbrella-aligned

From: Progression of Terms

Whether you were ~already~ going to make a separate peace with Avalon before you decided nukes in a war you declared were escalation, you threatened to derail a month's worth of peace negotiations when Avalon fought back against your giggling, bandwagoning tails.

Why I became a GOON

I started my nation in Feb 07 when I saw the link on Fark.com. Irony tag assplodes by the time this blog is over. I didn't read the Fark thread about the link, though, so I wasn't really aware that there was a Fark alliance or that they were in the deathgrip of a war with GOONS. In fact, I wasn't really aware of any alliances; I knew there were alliances, but I didn't see any reason to join one, I just collected taxes every day. I never got techraided because I never bought tech--why buy som

SchattenFan of the Year

The Schattenmann Fanclub's Founder/President Prototyoe Ruler has been away for several years, and I'm kind of shy, so the club hasn't been doing much. However, I think it is important to recognize a dedicated fan who has, for the past 2 years, made his devotion to me known more conspicuously than any other fawning fan on the planet. I speak, of course, of none other than Crymson. Through his years of unwavering dedication to steering every conversation towards Schattenmann rather than the top

Who is Cult of Justitia

We both knew better. I have rearranged your post to organize it by topic. You made some rather dashing personal attacks, but you can't demonstrate them and they don't merit response. But this is the part of your post that I most wanted to address. I myself am always amused by the people who level attacks that boil down to Schattenmann is a lunatic has-been who is sad, and Cult of Justitia is a bunch of idiots that Schattenmann has hoodwinked into worshiping him. The insult is oxymoronic to

Schattenmann Trolls in Real Life

Be warned: The links in this blog discuss nudity and have photos of a man in his underwear. So, today I accidentally went into battle against a famous internet idiot when I didn't realize he was actually Facebook friends with the person whose status I was commenting on. In case you're unfamiliar, Brian Zulberti emailed the entire Delaware Bar Association with a cocky, stupid email looking for a job. Attached to the email was a photo of himself showing off his arm muscles. Delaware lawyers o

ATTN Buyers: Tech Bonanza

Hey all you 3/50 jackasses I tricked into opening this blog: Stop jerking the market around with 3/50 deals, morons. What, you think people will stop selling tech if they stop getting the tiny bit of extra money? Your inflation isn't going to create more sellers, so you're still screwed, meanwhile you're clogging everything up and slowing down the delivery of what is available.

VE is totally goofy

It's safe to assume that if you read the OWRP, Alliance Politics, or World Affairs forums, you know I hate the Viridian Entente. But, people have varying levels of lives, so for those of you who didn't, now you do. I hate VE. VE makes my skin crawl. One of the main reasons that I hate VE is that Viridians have their heads wayyyy up their own butts. This week--like every week in which a Viridian posts--I ran across yet another infuriating instance, and to avoid derailing a commemorative thre

In Praise of VE

The Stage Yesterday, the world witnessed a cancellation years in the making: The withdrawal of the Viridian Entente from the 2-member Balkan Entente bloc. The Balkan Entente was signed in 2008; it's constituent AAs being Argonaut, VE, and GOD. Argo was a smallish Green alliance with a really complicated and silly government structure, which later merged into VE leaving GOD and VE the only parties to the treaty. For whatever reason--disbandment denial, bad breath, dumb leaders--VE was never w

Politicization of Sanctions

If you've read the last 10 pages of the "GOON spy orders" thread in World Affairs, then you know that GOONS asked Red Dawn to sanction Methrage and/or Nicholai on September 5, and that on September 6 NPO and CoJ (the two senate-holders from Red Dawn) agreed that Methrage is not a rogue and would not be sanctioned as such. You also know that GOONS asked NPO to sanction Methrage again on September 23 and was denied again, and in that discussion NPO noted that GOONS has a lot of nerve asking Red D

Schattenmann goes analog

While kingzog's Zog Blog has been chronicling his frustrated (and -ing) efforts to create a new super-duper, lightening-fast, liquid-cooled, impossibly-small 1337 computer, here in Schloss Eggenberg I have just spent the last couple hours on this baby: For those of you who are less than 20 years old and not a hipster, that thing on the top is a record player.

Fact Checking OsRavan

Good afternoon, I'm Schattenmann, your humble fact-checker for this mini-presentation of Os's World, your number one source for news from that land beyond the clouds, that happy land somewhere over the rainbow where the sky is green, the sun is purple, and trees grow down.

The Terms that CoJ Accepted

OsRavan has suddenly and inexplicably started claiming that it is CoJ which has rejected peace, not ODN who has refused it, in flat contradiction to all reality. Because some people are not as smart as others, rather than depend on everyone to understand that Os just now started making this claim after taking a public punch on the nose and it's fishy, I will provide here for you all the exact terms which OsRavan proposed himself, and which CoJ accepted. <Schattenmann> You rang <OsRav

ATTN: Subtleknifewielder and GVChamp

I have seen the light, and it is not good for you. Last week, you cancelled on my trade circle. I have spent countless hours maintaining this circle over the past year. Subtle, particularly, I am negative 2 improvement slots due to losing your steers, and my soldier count will be lower in the future. GVChamp, we had to send a newb money for a harbor to replace you. To say I am steamed would make me a vegetable. You two have caused economic harm to 4 hapless rulers. To sate my hunger, on b

Ivan Moldavi's Facebook . . .

. . . is me. Just so all you fanbois know. I created it when I was a wee goonlet in the Summer of 2007 and actually had no clue who Ivan Moldavi was. So anyway, I logged in today and had 26 hanging friend requests on top of the dozens of others I've already approved over the last 3 years. Hellooooooo, Bilrow. Ivan Moldavi is not your friend; I am. I'm a better friend, anyway. hurfdurf, lulz, and such. Also:

So, has anyone ever registered and earned their Master of Military Arts from Norwich University? Their ads have been on the top of the OWF for a few years and I always wondered about it.

Sovereignty

Dear everyone, Please look up the word sovereignty in a dictionary before attempting to talk to me about sovereignty. That is all. Thank you. PS. If you feel OWF discussion about politics is interfering with your ability to control your own alliance, then you have bigger problems than the OWF.
