Lapdogs and You.


Rush Sykes

1,406 views

I commented in an earlier OWF thread about the use(misuse) of the term lapdog as it applies to the politics at large of CN. It is almost as if people refuse to see reality. In every conflict, there are two sides. No more, no less. Even if you have 15 distinct spheres of power, a conflict comes down to two sides. 95% of all alliances will choose one of the 2 sides and fight (the other 5% that want to pretend to be above everyone else on honor, will foolishly help no ally, by fighting for all allies on all sides.) Whether or not you are a lapdog, is by and large determined by what side you fight on. Alliance 1 choosing to fight on side A, will be a lapdog to the central alliance on side A, regardless of what their own political goals and agendas are. It is literally impossible, in the eyes of EVERYONE on the losing side, and in some of the eyes of those on the fringe of the winning side, for an alliance to have supported a move, because there was a clear and measurable benefit to THEM. It can ONLY be that it was because alliance X said jump, and you said "how high?" It is further, impossible, for such a relationship to exist, that simplifies the political goings on of the world, so that a group of several alliances can all clearly see a path that is superior to them, versus another path.

TLR (athens, et.al.) supported VE's war on Polar because we were lapdogs of MK. We then supported TOPs war on Polar because were lapdogs of MK. We then supported MKs war on CSN because we were lapdogs of MK. It is not possible, in the eyes of those in alliances on the losing side that we supported VE's war on Polar because... quite frankly, we hated Polar. It is not at all possible we supported TOPs war on NpO because... we hated SF. And last but not least, no way did we support MKs war on CSN because ... well.. are you ready for this? We still hate SF. It can only be lapdog syndrome, it cannot be separate alliances sharing the same set of enemies and working together to kill those enemies.

People, at the end of the day, are very disinterested in who is, or is not, a lapdog. People care only about the perception from which their alliance currently sits. There is a massive segment of the player base on the other side right now, that eagerly await an AI led rolling of MK and friends. Literally, all of you are, by your own definition, sitting awaiting the opportunity to lapdog yourself out to them, so that they can finally do for you, what you all failed so miserably at for 3 years, and that is putting up any sort of a challenge. Certain segments of prominent alliances on the other side, whom absolutely hate everything there is to hate about Duckroll, sucking up so hard to them right now, that it is even funny to folks in Duckroll gov, trying to maintain a smile on their face as they hope to get themselves close enough to Duckroll to ride the coattails if Duckroll makes all of their dreams come true and finally slays the beast that is MK. Hypocrisy in CN is a grand thing. We all do it. I have done it. Every last one of you have been doing it. And until the day that this world is no more, we will continue to do it. Why? Because none of this is real. It is a game. And when you play a game, you get freedom to do as you choose in that game. Carry on lapdogs, wannabe lapdogs, and lapdogs to be.

This line will go down in CyberNations history. Very well said.

Yeah, you're pretty much right. It just makes for a nice line from both sides. Same as the one MK pushed that CSN is/was a GOD lapdog.

Some people have that "it" factor. MK has had plenty of guys in leadership with it. Xiph has/had it. NPO's guys had it back in the day (or so I hear). Those guys will be seen as leaders, while most other alliances will just be seen as followers. But hey, some want to just be followers.

Good grief Gibs, 3 more posts like that, and you will become a damage to the "cause"... tread lightly sir.

So you supported the MK pre-empt on CSN because you still hated CSN. That pre-empt had nothing to do with DH getting rolled by DR had you decided to hit Nordriech? That's some nice spin there, but you couldn't pay me to buy that.

Downplay the lapdog calls all you want. CnG is merely pawns in the biggest lapdog ring CN has to offer right now. You can be happy CnG isn't as big of lapdogs as umbrella, but let's be real, that's not saying much.

oooh! Oooh! Are we playing the 'try to make the alliances you don't like seem pathetic by throwing out names/bs political spin' game? can I play too!!!

So arent you in sparta Enamel? Sparta has never had an original thought in their entire history. The whole bloc is essentially one big Xiph lapdog. I mean he tells you when to jump, who to declare on in a war, and you follow his every command. When was the last time sparta had the guts to cut the puppet strings and pursue a FA path in opposition to god?

You guys are like the most famous lapdogs in all CN. I mean hell, when I open up a dictionary and look under 'lap dog' I see a giant spartan.

Sparta's mama is so much of a lapdog that she buys her groceries in petco

ooh ooh no i can do better then that...

Sparta's mama is such a lapdog, she always does it doggy-style

You're pretty much a moron. We had been planning that hit on SF for literally months. You can choose to, or not to, believe that. You can either accept the truth, or bathe in ignorance, either way, Im ok with it. And to answer your question, yes, we still hated CSN. Yes we hate GOD. We were all pretty MEH on R&R (save INT), but in war, business is business.

So no real reply. Gotcha.

You agreed with me.. What reply was needed? I was just pointing out that agreeing with me, is contrary to the "cause"(whatever that is).. that so many people have begun speaking of.

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Was the grand LSF-NoR diversion planned out months in advance too? Someone seemed to drop the ball there.

Is that a past or present hate for GOD?

Oh. my. god. How did I miss this doooooooosseeyy.

Whoa, whoa whoa whoa. Hold up just a minute. At no point do I see where I said I didn't like you. I just said I thought you were a puppet bloc. Let's not put words in my mouth.

Pssshhhh, no.

Sparta has never had an original thought in their entire history. The whole bloc is essentially one big Xiph lapdog.

HAHA! Comedic gold on multiple levels!

Yo OS, I'm really happy for you and Imma let you finish but CnG was the best lapdog of all time.

That's right. I sunk that low.

fakeedit: aww dammit, I forgot I already called Umbrella the best lapdog of all time. You win this round, CnG.

I mean hell, when I open up a dictionary and look under 'lap dog' I see a giant spartan.Sparta's mama is so much of a lapdog that she buys her groceries in petcoooh ooh no i can do better then that...Sparta's mama is such a lapdog, she always does it doggy-style

Dawwwww, well that's just mean :(

The term "lapdog" may be inappropriate, but it is no secret that there are some alliances with more political pull than others, and others who will bend and twist themselves to be on the good sides of those certain alliances. It may not be a strict case of "we will do what you wish, master", but most cases of lap-doggery that you hear about often enough have some basis in reality.

It is understandable if you aren't keeping up with Sparta's FA path these days.

ITB; Rush tries to explain why he has no backbone and shows how big his imagination is by impying AI is out to get them.

Are you literally on crack? AI is out to get me? Show me where I said that. Your logical leaps are INCREDIBLE. I almost cannot believe you actually typed this.

They've actually publicly distanced themselves at least once now. I'm keeping count.

Publicly distanced themselves from me? Where? By pointing out that I am just a member speaking my mind?(something I have done myself a dozen times now, but its ok, ignore that)... that is called being honest. I know honesty is something that 95% of the drones who dwell on this forum are allergic too, but surely are not this daft?
