  1. Must say I'm very disappointed in the resolve of an alliance we have considered friends for a long time. Alas, "Friendship isn't about whom you have known the longest... It's about who came, and never left your side." ~ Anonymous.
  2. Let's kick the tires and light the fires big daddy! o/
  3. [quote name='NoFish' timestamp='1323929214' post='2878545'] Gotta say, this post has garnered more respect from me than anything I've ever seen from your alliance. Way to man up and take responsibility - even if I don't think it's very much your fault. Someone else on your side of the coalition was probably supposed to let you know what was going on, and didn't, because they probably didn't care very much what happened to you. Reading this I kinda hope N-X gets off easy, even if I am miffed at them for attacking us when we're already fighting four-to-one. [/quote] I've gotta agree with No-Fish. You've certainly owned the mistake, although the blame probably goes on your leadership.
  4. [quote name='Vladimir Stukov II' timestamp='1323150213' post='2865353'] You bring up a great point. I fought MK with all of TOP at my side and lost 8,000+ tech and spent $3 billion in just 2 months. I've fought GOD pretty much alone and have only lost 4,000 tech and spent $2 billion in over 3 months now. The difference is MK is good while GOD is just plain bad. [/quote] Jeez vlad...we get it. You're awesome. Just remember, rattling off the stats wreaks of desperation. That type of self stroking should really be done in private.
  5. And there's an anarchy, felt good to shake the dust off.
  6. [quote name='Duncan King' timestamp='1316447630' post='2803771'] The longer the better. I'm sick and tired of being dragged into protracted, childish, and pointless conflicts for alliances I don't care about. The wars of the current era of CN are wars of attrition where one one overwhelmingly powerful side grinds on the other side for weeks and even months before inflicting unfair and even longer peace terms on them. There's nothing fun about a month long war and several months long peace terms. I find it very amusing that many of the people whining about peace in CN being boring were on the winning side in the last war. If you guys wanted to have another war soon, you should have let the other side surrender out quickly. Sure, you wouldn't be able to pound the other side to dust or extort huge quantities of reparations but you would be able to fight another war sooner because your opponents would actually be able to rebuild. I got ZIed in the last three wars and it took the entire interwar periods for me to even rebuild up to where I was before the wars. Although it should have been around sooner, White Peace is a relatively new concept that became mainstream as a reaction to extortive peace terms. Before Karma, alliances would still be able to get out early but would find themselves paying reps. The reps weren't small for that time even though they seem small now. GWIII was ended with GATO having to pay NPO $300 million and that was a record at that time. Now single nations and small alliances find themselves paying that for a rogue attack. So if you want war, you need to let people have peace. Otherwise, you'll simply be fighting air. [/quote] Good post. Made me think of two things which are kind of oposites. First of all, I don't know if you're still an alliance leader or not, but if your tired of being chained into X war, why not make all treaties ODP or cancel all treaties and really only get involved in a conflict when you want and on which side you want? I'm not being sarcastic or snarky at all just thinking out loud about a CN that will never exist but would be cool to see. It would be neat but would never be implemented to have a rule that each alliance can only have X MA/DP treaties. Would make things less of a CF and you would see some interesting matchups possibly. Second thing I thought of is how much fun it is to be the opressor. As short lived as that time was for me in \m/ from Feb 07 to disbandment, we were helping NPO curbstomp people for the hell of it and it was fun. So what I'm saying WWNPOD? If you have enough power falsify a CB and have some fun. I mean GPA got beat down somehow...beating down a neutral alliance would never fly in this holier than though age we live in today.
  7. [quote name='Crymson' timestamp='1315328890' post='2795877'] Whereas roguery was years ago treated with disgust by target and former alliance alike, now it is understandable. And those who would decry it would do well to look to their own alliances` actions in considering why current affairs are so boring as to drive longtime players to take their own individual initiative in this manner. Will YOUR alliances take action to reduce the strangling deadlock so markedly in existence? I doubt it. [/quote] This is incredibly rich in the irony department. a. that you would now support "roguery" but mostly... b. that YOU of all people would preach about alliances being too scared to make any meaningful moves in the game and creating boredom. TOP under your direction is the definition of inaction, always sitting on the fence until the last moment and picking off the scraps.
  8. [quote name='ChairmanHal' timestamp='1314239197' post='2787938'] [b]Haf[/b] not [b]Hal[/b]...Hal agrees with you, General. [/quote] Ahh you've caught me, I always read it as Halfinger.
  9. [quote name='Van Hoo III' timestamp='1314236841' post='2787913'] No, no we don't. Your bloc just sucked and no one really wanted anything to do with it. You don't have to "isolate" a crap pile. [/quote] Very true. This may be a new phenomenon to Hal, but the stench of !@#$ alone has a way of isolating itself. The only isolating Rok did was attempting to hose the remnants of it off the bottom of their shoes.
  10. [quote name='KainIIIC' timestamp='1313946634' post='2785611'] Morever, why did Gen Lee choose GOD over the other two natural alliances, NSO and RoK, where he was last and most known, especially when everyone knows GOD is about to get rolled? [/quote] a. I was only NSO for about a month before my nation deleted bc they took ZI listers and I was on TOPs radar. b. I love Rok but ever since I was involved in politics I've been an SF guy. Rok choose another path. If SF is on planet bobs target list that makes the decision even easier to fight for my friends at SF.
  11. [quote name='Lord Curzon' timestamp='1313894712' post='2785410'] Do you believe MJ or MK will attack you? If so, are you [s]considering[/s][b]planning[/b] the preemptive attack strategy? [/quote] 1. yes 2. yes
  12. [quote name='Feanor Noldorin' timestamp='1313303483' post='2780387'] I think my question was skipped over. I'm hoping it wasn't done on purpose. [/quote] If you haven't noticed we're isolating your question, so take the hint.
  13. [quote name='Chalaskan' timestamp='1313027163' post='2777109'] And joined the right alliance to boot! [/quote] I wouldn't have it any other way. SF
