Brother Malcolm Speaks

the blog entry heard 'round the world

Good lord.

Stop playing. I'm dead serious. You clearly aren't happy here - go play NS or Bloc or Pixel Nations or AR or find a !@#$@#$ hobby.

Or start a revolution yourself and quit with all the talk. More Lenin less Andy from The Office.

The overthrow of the upper-crust alliances by the underprivileged in CN society, is a necessary action that must be taken. Now I know the same hypocrites who claim to want to bring change to CN, will read this message of revolution and scoff at it.

This isn't 2007. No it's not. Get a grip.

It would make for a fun little war, i guess. The underprivileged army circling a hill at its bottom while the privileged sat and sipped iced drinks at the top of the hill. Occasionally throwing an olive pit at some unprivileged soldier's nose.

Micros are not your private army.

Lol.

Micro's do not have the military organisation to take on the sanctioned alliances. However your fight against the upper crust would be a war on DBDC.

So Junka has found his padawan?

Literally Loki Lannister

Changing the system takes dedication and hard work. It means organizing. It means giving up the childish attitude that the game and community somehow owe you a fruitful existence. It means practicing the art of diplomacy and understanding how these big, bad alliances actually work.

And by the time you've done all of that, you'll discover that you're a part of the system, and it isn't as bad as you thought. These institutions that you once despised as monolithic, hegemonic tools of oppression are actually the well-oiled machines that you need if you want to successfully play the game.

The organization and "revolution" that you are asking for is already here. It's happened a hundred times before, and continues. And when you finally achieve it, it won't look like revolution to the people at the bottom -- because they aren't equipped with the maturity or experience to recognize it.

He only needs to have more of a tongue to be "Rey Loki Lannister the great"

Commander Loki Lannister the Great, you mean.

Commander Loki Lannister the Great, you mean.

"Commander" is begging for it.

Who are "the powers that be" that you would have us small alliances rise up against and what would you want done after we win?

Because if it actually GETS ME (i.e. Lander Clan in particular) SOME WAR, I might consider it.

(or am I part of the powers that be, being that the nation of Lander Clan is above 140,000 at this point?)

They've been saying this since at least WUT. I think neutrals are happy being neutral.

By the time you struggle enough to become a threat to the establishment, you end up part of the establishment. If you succeed in destroying the establishment, you then become the establishment.

If you are wondering why CN politics seems cyclical, it's because it is.

"Now I know the same hypocrites who claim to want to bring change to CN, will read this message of revolution and scoff at it."

Or you know, everybody.

Still salty that I made you look like an idiot on the OWF I see.

Micros are not your private army.

I never said they were... I'm saying that all micros should unite and fight against the oppression by the upper-crust.

Basically all the upper-crust alliances.

Even if we do become a part of the system, my main goal would always be to change the system.

Between Tywin and him, House Baratheon's IRC private channel must have been renamed #asylum.

I never said they were... I'm saying that all micros should unite and fight against the oppression by the micros.

I thought it was the big guys supposedly doing all the oppressing?

I meant to say upper-crust lol.

I laughed out loud. Please, enlighten me.

reminder that this will never work/happen

Total NS in the world is 319 million NS

The sanctioned alliances alone make up 100 million of that.

You only need the top 26 alliances to hit 160 million NS-more than half the games strength.

So who is going to bring down these elite?
