Chimaera Posted October 9, 2015 Report Share Posted October 9, 2015 You shouldn't talk about obsessions when you've been obsessed with poaching alliance members for more then half a decade. Is this the part where I tell you to join MI6? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevlar Posted October 9, 2015 Report Share Posted October 9, 2015 You shouldn't talk about obsessions when you've been obsessed with poaching alliance members for more then half a decade.

berbers Posted October 9, 2015 Report Share Posted October 9, 2015 Heh, cool Mi6 got off a few offensives, that's pretty impressive considering the crazy amount of pain coming at them :/ Also lol at BEazy and Voodoo in the first wave :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshuaR Posted October 9, 2015 Report Share Posted October 9, 2015 an alliance who basically just wanted to be left the $%&@ alone. Never would have imagined anyone from MI6 stating they didn't want attention. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Wilson Posted October 9, 2015 Report Share Posted October 9, 2015 Lol still on this? lol you act like it stopped? Is this the part where I tell you to join MI6? No you've already done that about 20 times a 21 isnt necessary. Do you expect us to believe Chim has been poaching since he was 6 years old I guess the joke is on you for joining an alliance run by a 6 year old then?

iamthey Posted October 9, 2015 Report Share Posted October 9, 2015 Let's pretend there is any truth behind this statement for a second. Would you rather your enemy just lie down and not even attempt to put up a fight? Isn't the entire point of war on Bob at this point to provide us with our yearly entertainment to remind us why we don't hate this world? But if people don't believe the reasons they develop for justifying the war, isn't the entire exercise of war reduced to annoying schedules, the compiling of statistics, and repetitive rote mechanical motions? Basically the fun experience itself is believing your opponent deserves it, not the instrumental task of war itself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prodigal Moon Posted October 9, 2015 Report Share Posted October 9, 2015 Great example of the time-honored strategy: attack an irrelevant, isolated target to prevent your hegemony from turning on itself.

Buds The Man Posted October 9, 2015 Report Share Posted October 9, 2015 How do I only have one target right now... ONE TARGET? The best fighter in CN, and I get one lousy target...

Edward I Posted October 9, 2015 Report Share Posted October 9, 2015 We haven't tried to settle things with NPO? Really? I suppose trying is different than succeeding. You and Shuru have been a pleasure to talk to though, if it's any consolation. Yo wasup IAT? Do you really believe these "just because" DoWs, which have become so popular post-MK's preempt of NPO way back when, is the way to go when you want to believe your "opponent deserves it"? I counted three "legitimate" CB's there. And besides, I've never seen the reason why any grievance whatsoever, up to and including a desire and capacity to bring destruction down on someone, isn't alright. I think people forget that the quite a few of the earliest wars in CN were explicitly started over insults and nothing more. Sure, there are prudent reasons for not attacking people over anything and everything, but to my eye the idea that CB's have become less "legitimate" over time is less the case than that there were fewer that were accepted as such.

Yo wasup IAT?Do you really believe these "just because" DoWs, which have become so popular post-MK's preempt of NPO way back when, is the way to go when you want to believe your "opponent deserves it"? Not much omni, just playing my part in wartime !@#$ slinging.I don't really care about the quality of the OP, or the expressed rationale for war- what really matters in a war is that people be motivated in some meaningful way. Wars of convenience are routine, wars with a story don't have to be. A solid cb with an uninspiring target can be meaningless, a nonexistent justification with a bitter underpinning can be fantastic. A war need not be balanced, or risky to be good- it only needs to be worthwhile to those undertaking it.I'd say this war has a story, and if it's worthwhile and meaningful to those undertaking it that's really all that matters. In the case of NPO-MK- I'd say the same applied. I was in NPO for that after all, and it was certainly a profound moment.That being said, what is dull and probably more harmful to the international community than this war (or one's like it), is the constant critique from the standpoint of its harm on the [ooc]game[/ooc]. At the end of the day that's really just a veiled threat to take your ball and go home, isn't it? Though I would posit perhaps we're thinking about it the wrong way, perhaps that's not a threat at all, maybe someone can aspire to finally [ooc]'win' cybernations[/ooc]?

Varianz Posted October 9, 2015 Report Share Posted October 9, 2015 well this took a while but ok we're here, probably gonna be the most lopsided war in CN history unless a couple AA's decide to be suicidal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
