Reviews: WTH people, if when I was and am on the receiving end of surrender terms I would have killed to have one like doing a review. It's easy. None of you complained when the NPO had MK do some propaganda for them at the end of the noCB war? Seriously people?

One of our big worries in Vox was the intelligence/memory of the average ruler. When they were riding high, the literally thousands of rulers who are ignorant of world events were happy to go to war because there was no risk to their own nation, and they were happy to go along with whatever terms their govs dictated to the losers, mostly because they had no idea what was going on.

Now that the group power of those alliances has been dispersed and they're all taking their lumps, all those slack-jawed, spitty-smiled rulers are being exposed to the real world. They have an understanding of what it means to surrender, lose, pay reps from experience rather than an academic knowledge of those terms. So, of course, now they get their turn to express how vile the process is.

They are the herds of blind followers whose mass put power behind the old system. They can burn until they ragequit.

A lot of people got terms/reps in Karma for following their treaty obligations. This is probably the first war where the majority of alliances fighting got a no reps peace.

I also don't think wars are happening more frequently. This is our first real war in ten months.

Overall good read though

I sometimes wish people could be on the bottom under themselves. It would be a learning experience.

Agreed. Not many people have experience what some of the rest of us have. We went from a bi-polar world with the League and WUT, to a uni-polar world where some of us lived under the boot of maniacs for every waking moment and now we are back to a bi-polarish world. I say bi-polarish because I believe there is wiggle room now, even with the convolution of the web, for small conflicts to break out.

A majority of the alliances fighting in Karma got white peace.

Without really knowing the numbers for sure I'd fathom a guess that those that got terms/reps were higher then fifty percent of the total surrenders.

Actually I'd really like to see those numbers...wonder where I could find them.

My point stands. There are a lot more white peace than there are reps.

I did.

I believed it to be a gross ToS violation, compelling people to use their own skills/property to satisfy someone's in-game requirement for reparations.

This was a minority position.

I used to like and respect you when you were in NAAC and I almost joined NAAC after reading your posts on the forums. But lately I have asked myself if you have sold or traded your nation to another player. You seem to spout the rhetoric of your allies whether it is true or not. When you were the leader of NAAC you posted your views whether they supported your allies or not. I believe your hate of your enemies has made you bitter and narrow minded. But hey that is my opinion and I am sure you have plenty of sycophants to tell you that you haven't changed.

I saw that as more of a compliment to MK regarding their great propaganda skills. But you are right it was an OOC term that should not have been in the surrender and MK should have stood their ground and we wouldn't be discussing this now. The so called "beer reviews" are an attempt to humiliate your opponent and is a childish term. I get that most players are 18 to 22 and the drinking of alcohol is a revered past time. When they get older they will realize that drunken frat boys and high school kids are pretty much a cliche, and a laughing stock. They will also realize that drinking alcohol does not make you cool.

I go against my allies quite regularly. If I am spouting anything it is because I agree with it. I don't post something just for the sake of posting. If I say it there is a reason I say it. If my allies say something wrong or do something stupid, I call them on it. I don't currently hate anyone. I hate stupidity.

Reviews are meh. You've changed a bit in your posting style. You seem a tad more aggressive than usual.

Also, this is a roleplaying game, so the way people act will always change. Now, I like to believe(Please if I'm not, leave me to my insanity!) that I'm a bit mean and rough on the edges. But, OOC I believe(Again, leave me to my insanity) that I'm a pretty nice guy.

I have become more aggressive lately. But that is also because the stupidity level has been higher.

The stupidity level is the same. You are just on the "right" side of the power struggle now. So in the past when certain parties made "stupid" arguments you weren't as aggressive in pursuing it.

No, I have always aggressively gone after parties making stupid comments. I have never let which side of the perceived power structure I am on affect that.

Another way you've changed. Now, I've always respected you and took your word for being true. Which is why I'm surprised you're still posting. Also, when you see the light, you'll notice that everyone is stupid and I mean everyone

Well another thing that makes it seem like I am different is because this war has been longer than most. I tend to post more during war than I do during peace. When it is peaceful most of the time I just lurk.

I wanted to clarify my intent in my response to your post concerning your change or not in your personality and posting. i did not mean it in a condescending or aggressive way. I was honestly trying to give you an answer to your question as I saw it. I am very sorry it came across as anything but sincere criticism.

Your posting has improved and everyone else is an idiot. These are the facts.

I did.

Was it? I could swear I remember Admin coming out against it.
