While we've got some free time and we're not in a war, I was wondering if anyone wanted to see changes with the current way that I keep track of war stats. As a reminder, the current format is down below.
Cerridwyn®'s Peanut Butter War

Doomhouse Coalition • 66.97 --> 64.96 (-2.01)
• Continuing Alliances: 11.55 --> 10.78 (-0.77)
• Incoming Alliances: 0.00 --> 0.00 (+0.00)
• Outgoing Alliances: 55.42 --> 54.18 (-1.24)
• Alliances: 1

So I decided to perform a classic experiment of using electricity to cleave apart the very atoms of existence.
The electrolysis of H2O.
What you need:
Glass cup
Water
Power source
Wires
NaCl (table salt)
It also helps to have carbon rods to attach the wires to. I didn't, but I did solder much larger gauge copper wires to the ones coming from the cigarette lighter plug in. This is to increase the surface area of the anode and cathode.
For the power source I took an unusual route
I'm sitting here listening to some old recordings of Lewis Black who just did a pretty funny piece on electing Ronald Reagan (who's dead at the time of the peice) and it made me think of my own political disenfranchisement.
My two favorite politcal bumper stickers:
and
I found those images rather than just typing them out because i love my readers.
And that just about concludes my thoughts on politics and such.
Which now it leaves me with a surplus of thoughts about the whole situation.
I have decided that my laptop simply will not cut it for gaming anymore and since I have been pulling extra shifts at work for the last couple of months I have some money floating around and I have bitten the bullet in a manner of speaking and I am building myself a desktop system again.
Here are the parts I am planning on buying:
CPU = Intel i5 2500 (3.3 GHz quad core)
Motherboard = GigaByte Z68XP-UD3
Memory= 8GB Patriot Viper-Xtreme Div.2
HDD = Seagate SATA 3 2TB (General storage)
SSD HD
OK, so I've mentioned before that I'm an admin on a Raven Shield server. In all the time I've been doing this, only once have I taken a screencap of mid-game conversations.
To this day I still have no idea how this is possible.

One of my new favorite pastimes now is to write letters to my alliance leader, Princess Regnant Herooftime55, and post them on the United Equestria forums. Last night on our channel some interesting things happened that spawned a facebook status and a letter. I will share them below so you can have just a tiny glimpse into the insanity that is United Equestria (lol). One thing I will say, if ship-shipping is not a real thing, it SHOULD be.

...or is the OWF particularly quiet at present?
Whats going on?
A: lull before storm
B: storm passed and died down
C: No one cares anymore / BAHHHH CN's dying etc
D: Seasonal Quiet period
E: Wally is totally wrong and the OWF has loads happening he's just too much of a Noob to see it
... but kinda. It's relevant to CN, but more just something I found insightful. Link.
The eleven lessons explored in the documentary are:
Empathize with your enemy
Rationality will not save us
There's something beyond oneself
Maximize efficiency
Proportionality should be a guideline in war
Get the data
Belief and seeing are both often wrong
Be prepared to reexamine your reasoning
In order to do good, you may have to engage in evil
Never say never
You can't change human na
Sometimes if I'm browsing the forums and nothing really catches my eyes, I look at ban appeals just for the hell of it, to see why people were banned, and if they are given a chance to reedeem themselves. I have found that many of the bans were for trivial things, or even emotionally driven during times of war where tempers are flaring, and tension is devastating. I have also found that many of the bans were for multi's (and in most cases the appeal is denied rightfully so) but some of the multi
My Story
Introduction
As I now stand, Master of Finance of Ordo Teutonicus, I can not help but think of the elaborate series of events that has brought me here. What started out as a few minutes a day, has evolved into an experience that has even affected me in some of my real life thinking. I have made comrades and I have made enemies along my 2+ year journey at CN. This is not meant to be some sort of triumph story. In CN there have been people who have done more, experienced more and abov
So, tonight was one of those rare nights when the missus and I actually went out without children in tow. We went to a movie (Fright Night -- don't bother) and then off to a local pub for some karaoke.
When we got to the pub, the karaoke host seemed rather excited by our arrival. He rushed over and told us that, as per our request, he had recently acquired several Jonathan Coulton songs. And so of course that's what we sang.
At one point while the missus was off visiting with friends, the larg
I just wanted to say, I appreciate the time you put into this game. It must be quite tiresome continuing to keep it running for so long. People sometimes moan about the mods for various reasons (I've been guilty of that myself from time to time ) but I've had a lot of fun in this game and killed a lot of time over the years. I still can't find any better games out there, and this is a billion times better than NS. So cheers.

China Rockets... what a joke.
Some of you may have noticed that I've been gone from Cyber Nations for quite some time. Many of you probably didn't. And of the former, a few of you might wonder why it is that upon my return to the game, I've spent nearly all my time lobbying for changes in the way resources are generated. I mean, for someone who supposedly doesn't care about his nation, I sure complain a lot, right?
Well, here's the deal. As it stands now, I am not playing this game because I want to. I specifically ref
I got scam calls on my skype after using imo.im to talk to people via my skype account. Currently changing the passwords affected.
DO NOT USE IMO.IM. It is a SCAM.
I've been watching these two for about a week now, because they've been going back and forth and are pretty similar across a whole pile of categories - only separated by a tenth of a point in score, three nations, 700 ANS, 70 nukes, 1600 tech, etc. And it makes me wonder who would win in a one-on-one battle between the two, with no treaties or outside help whatsoever.
Only a couple of major differences I will point out:
Activity - Nordreich is at 86% activity, while NEW is only at 71%. Wo
Everyone gets taught that it was Christopher Columbus that discovered the americas.
When everyone knows in fact it was discovered by a boatful of the following:
A Rapper
A Rocker with long hair
Bunch of Knights
Vikings at the Oars
A Topless Woman
Re-writing history it would seem is not just a CN thing. Folks in RL do it too.
Proof
PS: Anyone know the name of that woman?
