Almost every prayer or ritual is either a celebration of, or most usually, an appeal to a higher power.
Whether that divine succor is for power to achieve or restore balance, to grant wisdom or vision, or for strength to prevail over the trials and temptations of one's life, it is essentially a begging of a higher source (in what ever form we conceive of it) to grant some of its/their energy to the receptor.
Just like with the flow of electrons, in order to accept the flow of a higher potentia

On June 6, 2007, FAN blitzed NoV to celebrate D-Day. That was one of the events that got them kicked from the Initiative and kicked off Vietfan. This hilarious video details the events leading to the war (warning language).
Hopefully the UCR war goes better.
Finished 90% of necessary treaty updates to the LoSS treaty web generator, however, I am looking for more updates that must be made. If you notice any major treaties missing, please post the following in this blog or PM me:
*Alliances involved
*Treaty name
*Link to treaty announcement or document
This is important; an updated treaty web allows all nations to quickly understand the treaty web situation, leading to improved global political education and stability. Mahalo!
Everyone is just dying to see what FAN is going to do next. Since the common notion is that we all get popcorn and wait for the entertainment, I thought you all would love some quick and easy ways to spice that popcorn up!
All of these recipes are courtesy of The Popcorn Board. Visit their website if you want to learn more about popcorn, see more recipes, or laugh at their insane graphics.
I hope you enjoy these. I know I will.

Cult of Personality, Dear Leader Chimaera took a crushing blow to his ego earlier this week --- First he stated he was really good at chess, then revealed that wasn't the case in some practice games...Then dropped the ball in his opening match.
Carter Chim and BEazy let the government down with their terrible chess and really we all feel bad because they suck.

Hello my comrades. I heard the war was over tonight. I am a little late to the party, but it will all be okay. Alex knows now and Alex can act. Alex presents the winner with the medal, as soon as he figures out what happened. You must speak your mind clearly, people. Alex must know. Thank you for your time,
Alex

Last time I ran these Olympics, we had 36 events. I'm looking to keep that number for the upcoming edition, but I'm sure you lot can think of some more interesting and useful events than the ones I hastily dreamed up four years ago.
The list we used last time is below. I'm looking to pull two events and replace them with your suggestions. I'm also interested in hearing what events you want to be taken out.

I'm going to be putting together an olympics-style survivor competition for the ASR in next week, and I'm looking for some graphics for it.
Style is all up to you... I normally just do some quick edits to the actual survivor logo for that season, but it would be nice to get something olympics-themed in there.
As for text, I'll either be calling it "Cybernations Olympics" or "Survivor Season 12" or something along those lines. I'll go with whatever makes it in the graphics.

I finished season 2 of House of Cards this weekend. The show is, to be frank, undoubtably going to be remembered in the history of television as the vanguard of internet streaming shows. But also as one of the greatest shows of all television history. If you can't tell I'm a big fan.
What was your favorite aside? What do you think is going to happen in the next season?
Foreign Affairs is the best part of CN. Beginning as a diplomat, one can establish global networks from ones position representing the alliance. With time and skill, you can eventually help control the events and happenings of entire alliances.
Foreign Affairs staff
A good foreign affairs staff is both hierarchical and collaborative in nature. Although sensitive matters are generally handled by high government, the rest of the foreign affairs staff is equally important. An active and coordinat
so my therapist says i need to make amends to people i dont like or dont like me. That we need to talk it out or whatever. I figured good practice for real life is if i did it in CN first.
Anywho, Ive been kicked out, discarded, and denied by many alliances. Only way I get it anymore is if I convince someone to let me in. This is the last time I will treat and be treated bad.
My bad history:

“Seeing the glass as half empty is more positive than seeing it as half full. Through such a lens the only choice is to pour more. That is righteous pessimism.”

I have made many mistakes in my CN career, the biggest mistakes I have made have stemmed from naivete. At the expense of my own reputation, I aligned myself with a certain someone who at one point I admired. Because in that someone: I saw someone who was destined for greatness, someone who defied the reactionaries and the upper-crust in word and deed, and someone who wasn't afraid to stand up for what he believed in. I followed in your footsteps, and even when we didn't agree about a lot of thin

Well, did any of you watch it? Most of you, I'm sure, gave up on it after the record-long 6 hr 22 min rain delay! Anyway, here is my recap:
Things started off well for the Joe Gibbs guys and Kurt Busch, all of them leading laps. Paul Menard led at halfway, which is not necessarily a good thing, because practically no one wins leading at lap 100, if you look at the stats.
Kyle Busch pulled a "Sponge-Brad", as I like to call it. He took the airgun from his pit stall and had to serve a penalty. A

They don't make movies like they did during his heyday, but he is one of the pioneers of the 80's Reagan-era fight-the-power style movies. His humor was as intelligent as anyone writing and directing movies has ever been, and that intelligence is what lets his movies hold up today while many others from the era simply can't hold on. The movies all had a heart to them. There were the occasional gross-out s

New wonders were added a few weeks ago. It is only to keep old nations interested in the game. It helps them separate themselves from the small nations even more. Its complete garbage. This is an outrage, needing like 5k tech and another wonder to get the wonder. Think about it, With all the money they have to spend, they !@#$ through it and dont care. And maybe keeps them in longer. But why not focus on newer nations who need help. There shall be a wonder that helps them and that is destroyed a
