    Man, I logged in for this?
  3. If you need a foreign affairs guy, I'm sure me or Stormsend will be around.
  4. This is what we in showbiz call seeking attention. Post the results.
  5. We here noticed, and we'll get back to you shortly. It's been like a month, we know, but we're working.
  6. I find it hilarious that the feature is powerful enough to destroy us all if the cap is removed. But seriously, removing the cap would destroy us all. This is a terrible idea.
  7. [quote name='mpol777' timestamp='1323712355' post='2875339'] I don't see the hypocrisy. Yes, we were part of the Initiative and that set a very bad precedent. But, we learned from that mistake. What more can you do? Sure, it's great not to make mistakes in the first place, but if you do, then as long as you don't repeat them, that's all you can do. Which is why we don't have treaties now. You're right in the fact that we should know as well or better than most the pitfalls of large treaty blocs. We could have gotten out of VietFAN and signed treaties. We could have started a new bloc. We had those options, but chose instead to free ourselves from that as well as freeing those that would have been aligned with us. Our system works. We are far from alone in this world even though we have no contracts with any other alliances. It just hasn't caught on. Why? Well, as you point out "Humans are what they are". Fearful, fragile types that feel safer in a herd. An alliance brings this sense of security, but for most that's not enough. They need to surround their alliance with other alliances. In the end each individual nation is just hoping that if !@#$ goes bad that the herd will protect them. That doesn't fit FAN. We have a pack mentality, not a herd mentality. At one time I thought we could break that way of thinking. Now I don't think it's possible, because as you stated, it is their nature. [/quote] Pretty much an accurate assessment of things around here. Unfortunately, I feel this will go underrated.
  8. In hindsight, I should have called this entry "Much To-Do About the Orders" because I basically ignored the rest of the world. Sorry everyone.
  9. 10AM General Says Features, Features, Features! Two weeks ago the 10AMG covered how TOP and IRON have all the right in the world to declare war against the New Polar Order, and that the Polar Order should stop whining about the lack of reason for war and fight to defend themselves. Since then, the war has expanded on many fronts, including ones right outside 10AMG’s office. Too many fronts for 10AMG to satisfactorily cover despite taking last week off. Sorry folks, 10AMG’s quest for academic enlightenment does not stop for CyberNations. As such, 10AMG will not have a “main blog” this week. Instead, we will roll into minor sub-blog issues. If you take issue with this, please refer your attention to the latest war chart, compiled by Shadoz19. 10AMG has better things to do this week than analyze this !@#$. The following sections are up for consideration as weekly features in the blog. Your vote will have no impact on what actually stays. If There’s a War, There’s the Orders: Not content with having just one of Ivan Moldavi’s Orders, the war has expanded to include the New Pacific Order. The alliances of FARK and FAN have thrown themselves on-top of The New Pacific Shambling Corpse in order to get revenge for the time that NPO supported those guys who spent X amount of months keeping FARK’s head in the dirt. You may know them as the GOONS Order of Neutral Shoving, an alliance that totally doesn’t exist anymore. This alliance that totally doesn’t exist anymore is currently fighting in the war against at least one alliance. Many have claimed that this was FARK’s attempt to completely dodge their treaty obligations. However, these people would be wrong because the New Pacific Order would totally have become involved in the war inevitably at some point in the future maybe. So that argument is invalid. Obituaries: With the decline of the game, this section will now cover the “death” of prominent players in CyberNations history, giving them the 10AMG treatment. 10AMG is not omnipresent. Please submit significant players deleting via PM to the author. CyberNations Black Sheep Cortath has deleted due to inactivity. Cortath was the fourth emperor of the New Pacific Order, succeeding TrotskysRevenge after his defeat in the KARMA War. Emperor Cortath was responsible for leading the New Pacific Order through its KARMA peace-terms and then setting it on the path of reconstruction. With the declaration of war against the NPO by the forces of Mushroom Kingdom and the Federation of Armed Nations, he fell into inactivity ultimately to be replaced by Fifth Emperor Mary the Fantabulous. Since his departure from politics, Cortath has been a beacon of inactivity in a world of decline. His deletion comes as no surprise to anyone except the Federation of Armed Nations, who believe him to be important and relevant to current NPO politics. Far more importantly, TrotskysRevenge deleted earlier this month, marking an end to his five-and-change year-long reign of terror over CyberNations. TrotskysRevenge was the third emperor of the New Pacific Order, succeeding Dilber at the height of the game and NPO power. Also known as Moo-Cows with Guns, the third emperor of the Order spent his entire reign reacting to the power structure created by Dilber, attempting to keep the largest collection of egos ever assembled in CyberNations history in-line under the NPO’s vision. The creations of the Continuum and One Vision were his attempts to replace the Initiative, and these two blocs succeeded in keeping the NPO afloat atop the morass of alliances that CyberNations became during his rule. He spent much of his rule crushing small alliances under his boot according to his enemies. His downfall occurred during the KARMA War in which many alliances, headed by King Ego Archon attacked the New Pacific Order over infringements on Ordo Verde’s sovereignty, after which OV’s sovereignty was reestablished promptly when it was absorbed by VE. TrotskysRevenge stepped down, leaving Fourth Emperor Cortath with the mess of his reign. He will be missed sorely. Doitzel Watch 2012: CyberNations Messiah Doitzel has reappeared on the scene, signaling the end of days. 10AMG will keep a running track of what he is up to so that we may point out more signs of the apocalypse. His latest posts seem to express dissatisfaction with the game. We here at 10AMG thank Doitzel for his excellent contributions to discourse in the game after his complete and utter lack of participation for the past six months. Please use your recent inactivity to lead the game out of inactivity. Keep an eye on this column for further information. FAN Being FAN: An unsurprising announcement to come out of this war came on 07 December by the Federation of Armed Nations. FAN Head-Talky mpol777 voiced the alliance’s sentiments about the game at large, and more specifically, about why they are fighting. mpol777 eloquently told everyone to shut up and keep fighting, and that FAN will be the last alliance standing in this game when it inevitably dies. 10AMG supports mpol777’s claim. FAN Will Be the Last Alliance Standing has been a proven fact for years. If nuclear annihilation, curb-stomps, and a dedicated war lasting almost two years did not stop FAN, the terrible game mechanics and the community’s lack of interest certainly won’t. Emoticon of the Week: We at 10AMG believe that there’s never enough celebrating in CyberNations. As such, the emoticon of the week is Use this far more often, please. Correction: 10AMG two weeks ago referred to the force of the Order of Paradox and Independent Republic of Orange Nations as the “Orange Uber Allies.” It looks like TOP is pink these days. That’s cool guys; you can live your life however you want despite what your parents say. However, the Orange Uber Allies moniker will stick because 50% of the current coalition (IRON, Grand Lodge of Freemasons, TORN, East India Company) are Orange, while 25% (Colossus, The Sweet Oblivion) are Blue, and 25% (TOP, WAPA) are not matching. They are calling themselves “The Avengers,” but that is far too cliché for this column. Stat of the Five-Minutes-Before-Posting 1: The New Polar Order currently stands at 6,039,772NS. This is the latest in a drawn-out decline caused by war, destruction, and nuclear weapons that hopefully the alliance will rebound from in the coming weeks. Stat of the Five-Minutes-Before-Posting 2: The Global Radiation Level is currently at 57.26. And by 57.26, 10AMG means 5.00, because that's all you are being affected by. Stat of the Five-Minutes-Before-Posting 3: Since the first of December, the Mostly Harmless Alliance has lost 2,313,532NS proving that they are, in fact, mostly harmless. Stat of the Five-Minutes-Before-Posting 4: The Green Protection Agency is now on track to be the lead alliance in CyberNations for the first time since the War on Peace back in 2007(?) Kudos to the GPA. Next Time: Stats of the Week makes its long-anticipated return! Also, next week's post should contain at least 10% more content and at least one major argument. About this blog: 10AM General is a blog dedicated to examining the CyberNations community for what it is: an absurd fabricated reality that we all play in. It is the intent, nay, the duty of this blog to point out the strange and bizarre practices of the CyberNations community that we have deemed acceptable and expose them for how absurd they are. If you notice something you think fits in line with 10AMG's sacred mission, feel free to send a PM to the blog creator. If you were upset by anything posted in this blog, welcome to 10AMG. It is an opinionated piece not intended to portray objective fact. Don't get us wrong though: we fact check. If we're clearly wrong, send us a PM and we'll fix it. We may even apologize depending on how wrong we are. But if you disagree with an opinion, post a comment so 10AMG can ignore it. If you're here to sue 10AMG, please don't. We'll stop it, we swear. We're really push-overs in the end.
  10. Yep. You missed when I had a stint in Federation of Buccaneers for five months. I'm almost completely out of politics these days except for the column I run.

  11. hahaha you're still in NPO

  12. 10AM General will be back next Saturday.
  13. "CyberNations Players Love To Sound Smart."
  14. I went off their chart. At the time I wrote it, it was about there. I do appreciate the update.Thats weird. Few hours after update and they already have lost 100k. Even when I checked 5-6hrs ago. Maybe a nation ghosted them for a while :/ I don't know. Either way I'll fix it.
