As much as I think the new trade system in CN is wonderful, it's causing a lot of upheaval across the broad spectrum. There are circles pulled apart, people desperately searching for new trade partners, and alliances going internal. And a lot of people left without trades.
Now, I've helped anyone I can find that needs trade circles. Most of them are members of my alliance. Some are people I was already organizing trades for, or friends from IRC that hang around in our public channel. I love hel

A long time ago I had a blast making a plethora of sigs and propaganda for Zenith and the bloc we were in. Haven't put my hand towards anything in a while. Did a simple one for TOP.
This one was really fun and I just finished it. Took about an hour. My photoshop program, probably the only legitimate program I ever purchased (for about $300 back in the day) and is one I really feel like I got a good value for my dollar. This was before any free graphics program was available.
My only complaint
My name is Seerow.
You may or not be familiar with me. I've been around this game for a long time. Far longer than I ever thought I would be. Some of you may recognize the name from the book series I sniped it from and have used as my internet handle almost exclusively for over a decade. So that answers question one, yes Seerow is the same as the Seerow from the Animorphs. In that series, Seerow was a character out of lore, who gave advanced knowledge/technology to another sentient race that
It's that time of the year again. You know, when I point out that I'm old and you're a bunch of nubs. This time I'm 5 years old! Damn, it's been a while.

Since my last update in February, a lot has changed. I guess I'll start off with the topic most people follow.
In May, I was able to add another question or answer, depending on how you look at it, to my repertoire of medical problems. While out climbing some cliffs near my home, I got a call that I had been diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis. Because of the fact that I was leaving to drive cross country again in three days, I wasn't able to see a specialist. And I still haven't been able to.
Tonight I tried my hand at two different things. Having spent most of my adult life in the clutches of various women, I never learned to cook anything harder than mac n cheese.
This all changed last year when I moved from a part-time dishwashing gig to working in the kitchen, where I learned the fryer and some eggs and such on the flattop. Since then, I've had a short stint in a bakery and another restaurant as both prep and flattop cook.
After some grocery shopping today and a go at a large
I can't help but feel that a lot of us have forgotten the simulation of war in this game. Seriously, come on here, we have some wannabe hard-asses running around talking about war, but they won't do it. They will raid because they don't remember war, instead. I'm getting tired of all this peace, which if not to prepare for war, then what's the point? I'd rather be ZIed and forced to restart then to continue with this boredom the majority of people won't admit is illogical of the game. These are
Someone had posted a topic about trying to figure out what's driving players away from CN and after responding, I thought it would make a good blog entry. If you've been following along, you'll know that there's good reason to believe the not-TE resource system (which admin has stated will be fixed, yaaaay!) was definitely a contributing factor, but I'm sure we all know it's not the ONLY factor. Thus, I sat and thought about it for a bit and I came up with this answer.
The first step is alwa
The curtain opens to a small apartment with three friends, each drinking a different beverage. Ardus is surfing the web while the others try to decide what to watch on TV. The group has just completed the Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory drinking game.
Ardus: Hey, y'all like Star Trek so you'll like this. Apparently the guy who did the voice of Q on Star Trek is the villain in the next season of Ponies.
Widget & NonCNFriend: Really?
Widget: We should watch Star Trek right now
Now it's story-time, children.
The decision to go nuke rogue on GOD was an easy one by the time came to do it. Now, granted, I may have been indulging in some of the ol' liquid courage...
(W. C. Fields: I exercise strong self control. I never drink anything stronger than gin before breakfast.)
...but one thing I've learned about the mind is that it is often whirling away at putting together the puzzle of life and sussing out the solution to it's obstacles while you're happily grinding away
... what's a RocknRolla?
And I tell 'em - it's not about drums, drugs, and hospital drips, oh no. There's more there than that, my friend. We all like a bit of the good life - some the money, some the drugs, other the sex game, the glamour, or the fame.
But a RocknRolla, oh, he's different.
Why?
Because a real RocknRolla wants the !@#$@#$ lot.
I have two computers. The first is my brand new PC that I built this year and am continuing to fine tune. The other is a netbook I picked up a couple of years ago. I have it for those occasions when the missus hijacks my desktop because she wants to do something 'graphics intensive' like harvest in Farmville. *sigh*
Anyway....
The netbook came with WinXP, which I immediately removed and replaced with Ubuntu. I don't really store anything on it. It is solely for the purpose of connecting to the
One thing that I have been convinced of for quite some time is that Cybernations would benefit greatly from an introduction of some sort of scarcity in resources. At present, only two genuinely scarce resources exist - senate seats, which aren't exactly fought for tooth and nail, and members, which is fairly arguable as members that one alliance wants are vastly different than members another alliance wants. There's a reason that Starcraft games never last more than about an hour, and Empire Ear
I'm utterly delirious, extremely tired, and can't sleep. So I decided to write a blog post that will hopefully solve all the problems people have and address some common arguments that are floating around of varying degrees of merit. All of which will take the form of a stream of consciousness "don't call it a rant" rant. Without further ado, let's get to it!
1) The tangled treaty web: Yeah, there's been a thread about it on the front page of the OWF since I started playing 4 years ago. You

I've made quite a couple of Assassin's Creed signatures and I thought I'd share! They're all by me and I'd like to ask you don't use them but you may request one of your own. Click the image to see the rest!
I'm really excited for FOOTBALL to finally start tonight so I thought I would share my upset picks of the week. I go mainly by gut feeling and prejudice and I do no real research so don't get too mad at me. Make fun of me if you need to, I will probably agree with your assessment.
Philadelphia versus St. Louis
Line: -5
I'm not sold on the Dream Team personally. I know you shouldn't pay any attention at all to preseason, but Philly's O-Line looked pretty bad. I think if things come togethe
An Announcement from The Last Remnants
ZI Target
Since we don't believe this warrants it's very own topic in Alliance Announcements, we want to make it perfectly clear that Necro of the nation The Land of Eld, has been placed on the The Last Remnant's ZI list for crimes he committed against TLR and that his war slots are ours and ours alone. We will consider it to be an act of war to take one of his war slots without our permission and we also highly advise against sending aid to hi
Oh the first day of school. Truly it is something every parent enjoys, as it brings eight or nine weeks of having to entertain the kids every damn day to a close.
For ten wonderful months, they're someone else's problem for six hours a day, Monday to Friday.
Ahhhhhhhhhh....just feel that stress going away.
Of course, a return to school also means that one is subjected to well-meaning stupidity on the part of one's Board of Education, school principal or teacher. Sometimes it's hard to figure
