The True Face of the Karma Coalition

Karmaic "Justice"

The loose coalition of alliances dedicated to hating and bringing down the New Pacific Order known collectively as "Karma" is the fourth such incarnation of an organization. In a world where politics and everything accompanying politics is the main course for many people here, it should be obvious by now that we are all aware of political science and history's adages, cliches, terms, and phrases.

You say you want change from our tyrannical ways, you say you want to liberate the Red Sphere from our tyrannical oppression, and you say you want to stop us from unjustly posing our will and greed on alliances we have rightly or wrongly obliterated. You say what goes around comes around, and we are getting our just desserts, right?

The fact is, as presented by Gen. Lee, leader of Ragnarok, that you are nothing more than the same group of NPO hating alliances that have formed in the past three years. Groups that hide behind a moral high ground, posing as liberators and the White Knight in Shining Armour to the Cyberverse. You say you want things to change, to break the vicious cycle we've been perpetrating since the War of Retribution (Spring 2007). Then what do you call this?

Gen_Lee: i got the job of messenger

[9:29pm] Gen_Lee: the Karma front on NPO has some instructions regarding peace moded nations you can take em or leave em:

[9:30pm] Gen_Lee: -NPO has five days to move all their nations out peace mode with zero penalty.

[9:30pm] Moo-Spock: we will never move our banks

[9:30pm] Moo-Spock: never have

[9:30pm] Gen_Lee: -6th Day and on:.For every NPO nation above 5k NS in peace mode, 3 mil and 100 tech in reparations will be added to any peace terms, per day. The duration of all peace terms will also be increased by 2 days for any day any NPO nation above 5k is in peace after the 5th day.

[9:31pm] Gen_Lee: ok

[9:32pm] Gen_Lee: thought i should let you know

[9:32pm] Gen_Lee: talk to ya later

[9:33pm] Moo-Spock: the other nations have rotated out of PM on a regular basis, just like every other alliance

[9:33pm] Moo-Spock: I will post this for our BR to discuss

[9:34pm] Gen_Lee: alright

[9:36pm] Gen_Lee: oh for record sake, clock starts now 5/21 11:38 server time

"When you stare into the abyss the abyss stares back at you." - Friedrich Nietzsche.

"Those who cannot learn from history are doomed to repeat it." - George Santayana

I have news for you, Karma. Karma does not represent any sort of "just punishment" you seem to think it is. Karma is merely cause and effect. Karma is not about punishment. In Spirit there is no absolute right or wrong. It is about experience and fulfillment of purpose. The idea that we are punished for sins is a man-made form of social control. A highly advanced soul may choose to incarnate into a crippled body, or as an insect, if that is beneficial to their progress.[1] Anyone knows what cause and effect is. Do one thing, another will happen as a result of it. I can accept that your view is that all the things we have done up to this point has resulted in this. No biggie. But don't even presume to justify your actions as being justice when you are guilty as the same things you accuse us of.

Drop the pretense of doing this out of change, or wanting to liberate the Red Sphere from our maniacal oppression, or justice for all the "sins" we've committed, and just come out and say it - this is vengeance, nothing more, pure and simple.

If we are to go down, we will not go down without a fight. The Order has participated in over twenty major wars in the last three and a half years. Some of us have more experience at managing wars than anyone else in this game. We have been through Hell and back once before, and we will do it again, stronger than we have before. It is in that spirit that the member-states of the New Pacific Order wholeheartedly reject your "instructions to receive terms."

I'll take ZI over obeying these demands, thanks. :war: - Noob5

[19:29:17] <+Trilobyte_Man> My response: They can shove it up their *****.

**** that ****. - Cager

Tell the !@#$%^&* that you'll see them in another 5 weeks, once we've run them to the dust. - Necromancer V4L

To put it nice and blunt. They can shove their instructions up their !@#$@#$ *****. - Ursarkar E. Creed

I'm going to with a "No" as well. - Squintus

A derisive snort, and a certain well known middle finger gesture is my sole response to that. - Waterana

They must be pretty desperate to offer such pathetic terms. Hell no. They can shove those terms where the sun don't shine. - Iceknave

You can tell how much they fear us. They know that whatever happens we will rebuild because of our banks. I think its funny that this the best they can come up with to try to destroy us. o/ Moo! - Navblue

Wtf is this? After reading it over and over... no. - Romanov IV

http://graptor.net/images/fingernuke.jpg - Loucifer

**** them. - President President

BWAHAHAHAHAHA! - ChileRelleno

An interesting attempt. However, they are either morons, or this is a joke. If its a joke then I'm overestimating their intelligence.... ... - Dr. James Henrey

Please courteously inform them that all NPO nations will gladly leave Peacemode immediately only to SHOVE THOSE BLOODY TERMS UP THEIR GODDAMN *****! - Thomas Richmond

Instructions? Let's send them back a handbook with instructions on how to **** off. - Silent

Ummm, no? - Pfauter

They must be !@#$@#$ mad/desperate/a bit of both to send that...I think I'd rather keep on killing them tbh. o/ - Dagnarus

I was thinking the same, except I was leaning toward," Shove them were the sun don't shine". - Maverick_1

Those instructions are full of FAIL. - Dominius

i just say lol - Lord Tyrion

You know I think we have a general consensus emerging already. :P - Imperial Emperor

Tell em bloopbleep38 said **** that ****. - bloopbleep38

so at the moment there are 234 in peace, 96 below 5k. So 138 are above 5k which means 414million and 6900tech per day. I find it interesting that they then put it on themselves to determine when the conflict is over. I think this is completely pointless unless they set a final date.

Otherwise it is a) We are at war with you indefinately and thus you have a "debt" of infinite or B] We destroy you hopes of rebuild. And Finally, C] They can blow it, shove it, stick it (whatever) up their ***. - Mr.AdmiralX

So they want our nations in peace mode to get ZIed? Sounds very reasonable... - Choker

I like Lou's comment. Moo...from my POV you can close already this thread & archive it in the Section "the most Hilarious requests ever received" - Magus Rules

Guys, I think Karma may have realized that at the rate our NS is (barely) dropping, it'll take until August for us to lose a sanction. - Letum

No. - Soly

I'm confused. 5,000 NS is pretty low, I'm well over that and I only have 1000 infrastructure left, especially to generate 3 million a day? What makes them think that they will get a single brass razoo from us to begin with? Why would any sane individual expose their banks to enemy attack, or expect anyone else to either? What exactly would we get in return for committing such stupidity? But having said that, based on the current exchange rate of the AUD I believe I should start sending the money right now, I just need their full bank account details, date of birth, mothers maiden name (assuming they actually know who their mother is and she has a maiden name), and a photocopy of their drivers license, credit card and signature (if applicable). What can I say, I like to know who my money is going to. - ViceOverlord

Oh, that dog just ain't gonna hunt. - tombed

I think we owe them for all the mean stuff we've done to them. So I filled this warehouse and many others with all the stuff they're going to get. http://www.mawsoft.com/images/GDC-2007/lar...7%20(Large).jpg - Ellis

This is no surprise. Also, we have surrender terms? - republic of granat

I think by demanding for everyone to come out of peace mode they have inadvertently said that they don't really want a long war because we won't go down easy. This means the longer we drag it on, the more likely they are to fold. - gmop

Instruct them to get some lubricants, because we are going to personally shove those terms up their collective asses. - Lord of the Port

They certainly overestimate their cohesion, and underestimate our resolve. They keep trying to use the coaLUEtion as their history lesson, but it seems that they still haven't learned to open negotiations from a position of strength. Even with so many thousands of nations on side they struggle to find a competent strategist. Guess that's something else to blame the NPO for, since we took all the good ones. - Vladimir

No No No! The only reason they are even starting to offer terms is they realize we are not going to fold (like they would if the situation was reversed). As time goes on, the tides are turning. They are not as strong as they thought they were. - jgolla

... A.N.D T.H.E H.O.R.S.E Y.O.U R.O.D.E I.N O.N.! - Walt Schmidt

Obviously they fear the mighty rebuilding power of our Bank. In short, LOL $%&@ off Karma****. - Speer

I say yes.. ..to replying with the responses already proffered in this thread. - kernzi

i have to agree like they have the balls to commit an eternal war! longer we drag it out worse they look and lighter terms we get if any! - kenny

They cannot commit or plan for Eternal War as this would be the exact opposite of one of their supposed principle's for this war. But anything is possible I guess as hypocrisy is certainly not foreign to Planet Bob. As far as the terms, not only "No" but HELL !@#$@#$ NO!!!! - Lord Valleo

http://photos.commongate.com/11/38202_9kdgdhucff_m.jpg, http://blogsimages.skynet.be/images/000/17...Screw%20You.jpg, These terms are harshest terms in CN History. I vote we tell this guy F Off and try to beat them at their own game. - ZetaDefender

Nah. - Applesauce59

The stupid terms are laughable. It's hypocricy of the greatest "Order" haha. Our banks should remain in peacemode. :) - Sarai

umm..no. Karma is getting scared I guess, but to be honest I wouldn't be scared if I was on Karma's side, simply for the fact that I would have little understanding of how well NPO is organized and what has happen in the past, younger nations of planet BOB that is, older one should know better.. - Raiden706

FTS = $%&@ that !@#$. - Lord to the Gizzle.

Well, if anyone had any doubts as to what Karma's intent has been all along I sincerely hope this latest farce puts them to rest. We'll see you in hell, Karma. - Dinfandel

They have a better chance of ripping the Nutella jar out of DarkMistress' chubby fat-fingered hands. - Bilrow

I'd tell them to stop !@#$% footing around, sit down as a coalition and decide what they really want from this war and give us real peace terms to reject; Not these singular 'instructions' to be tacked onto anything else they may demand in the future to exploit us. - Typo

no way, no one backs npo into the corner like that. - Crimekiller

I personally wanna see how high we can make that counter go up before THEY ask for terms. - Red

Tell them to go and $%&@ themselves, cheeky !@#$%^&*. - Bandit

I actually laughed out loud at this, it is pretty funny. Also $%&@ them - Millionario

I advise that we refuse this offer and press for better terms. - Prime minister johns

FOOMFCLMFAO!!!!!!!!! Ummm... No. - Grimmfang

I read that as, "Our nations are !@#$%*ing and running out of cash, we need money." $%&@ no. - Charles de Lafayette

Thank you Emperor for sharing. Many lulz had. - Branimir

No. - HooahSoldier

I will never surrender to those !@#$%^&*.. I don't care how hurt my nation gets, this "peace terms" are !@#$%^&* and we all know it. I am a Pacifican in heart, and Pacifica is not the surrendering type of alliance. We fight. We prevail! - MariMassa

lol tell them to go $%&@ themselves thanks. - Makoz

Ha, they want cash and tech for us preserving our future? They can have my nukes instead. - Manwell

I'll let this lady say it:

Tell them to stick those lousy terms, we'd rather have eternal war thanks. - Litha

No. Pacifica never surrenders. - Raithix

But Moo, we're just getting warmed up. I'll send cruise missles and aircraft as my response tonight. Engraved on each attack, will be a picture of my penis, in KARMA's cereal. $%&@ THEM! - President Gnarkill

@Branimir: this. - JonVision

I think I speak for all of us when I say: Suck my !@#$@#$ $@. - Azrael

I would rather sit at E-zi than have our peace mode nations come out. - Silentkiller

Dear Karma, Get bent. Love and kisses, DarkMistress.

!@#$%*^, the whole lot of them. no. - amnesiac

Honestly, we are gonna be forced to move the upper tier nations out of PM anyways. Why don't we target this alliance with those said nations until he can rethink his demands. - jimbacher

Actually, the reperation penatly is IN ADDITION to the billions they are going to ask for after they nuke the banks, so exposing the banks means that they can still ask for infinity-billion dollars. - Sir Paul

<%Blueline976[NPO]> Well, all I have to say about those pre-terms is...Yeah, $%&@ that !@#$.

Bollocks. - Kristospherein

Ahhhhahahahahahaahahahaha. That's some funny !@#$ right there. Is that how much they want to pay us for staying in peace mode and not beating their nations down? LOL - JeremyB

I can see why they are insiting on this as I believe we offered as similar condition to GATO (except we went whole hog with EZI rather than increased reps). What they don't seem to understand is that the NPO is not GATO and is willing to keep fighting till we get resonable terms even if we have to bring them eternal war, something which I believe the majority of Karma alliances would not be willing to face. So I say $%&@ these terms and in a few weeks we will see something better as more and more of thier members BWHAAAA over thier lost pixels :P - UncleB

I came out of hibernation... er... my study abroad and went to the internet cafe to check up on you guys. This made my day. Hilarious. I think "Hell no" is the right answer. - svartingr

Emperor, They deserve to eat a few nukes for these disgraceful opening terms. Tell them to come back when they grow some balls. Sincerly, Big Red. Hail! Looks like babies are back on the menu boys! - The Big Red 1

What's the hurry? - Maharaj

No. $%&@'em. I rather be hammered to deletion. Reroll and do it all over again. - askanitherotund

We may have created a medical emergency here. First, Karma must have had their heads up their asses to attack NPO. In addition, we've shoved their war declaration up their asses, their surrender requests and now these instructions up their asses. Comrades, just how much more can they take up their asses?!? Let's continue the fight up put them out of our their misery. - TinyVillages

@Ellis: Why are we giving them handtrucks and some chairs? This seems unreasonable. - Blueon462

Oh no they didn't! I like to think I know a little something about mind$%&@ing. This was simply an attempt to gauge the resolve of our alliance. Of course in any negotiation you start high then work to find a middle ground. I think that they were looking for us to say no to these terms but perhaps continue to negotiate. By continuing to negotiate, we're telling them we are looking to end this war. I say $%&@ that. In turn, the karma "powers that be" will go back to their "war rooms" and start thinking about an exit strategy that is in their best interest. The simple fact that we have held them this long despite our banks and some of our larger nations in peace mode scares the living !@#$ out of them. They know if this drags on they will lose. Let us not forget that these people want us wiped off the map. For that I say no mercy. - jordanhazy

!@#$@#$ pathetic. If it comes to eternal war, well... they will be getting a nuke a day... forrrreeeeeevvvverrrrrrrr - Straylight

Time to give KARMA our instructions. Something I know they can do....stepping on a landmine.....jumping off a bridge...etc. - Roman

It is a choice. You have the choice between your honor and your nation. That's more of a choice than anybody on PZI ever got. Comparing the two is an invalid argument.

And hey, if NPO prepared for war like a smart alliance by having nations with large warchests for rebuilding rather than relying a small segment of bank nations to do rebuilding this whole thing wouldn't be an issue. But NPO's strategists prefer to use the 'vaunted hippy shield' as they've so kindly put it in the past.

Evidently we have failure to communicate here,My statement is this.If it takes my individual surrender to save my nation then there isn't a choice.If it takes Pacifica accepting terms that will lead to it's destruction. Then that's not much of a choice is it? But that was the purpose of these "instructions" in 1st place wasn't it?

The use of peaced banks is still a viable tactic, a tactic I might add that Karma also employed.

Oh will you $%&@tards just get off it.

Having your entire top 100 nations in PM is not a tactic

its being a bunch of !@#$%*^

$%&@ the pc crap

thats what it is

and you know it

The top 100 didn't all start in peace they just weren't staggered very well.It happens when you have this many alliances all vying for targets, the coordination suffers.They made it to peace and will help rebuild Pacifica after the war.So you may be correct, the move is more strategic than tactical.

I find it hilarious that someone from a bloc calling themselves "Karma" would be concerned if anything was too PC or not.

and i find it equally hillarious that yall are getting yer asses kicked

Witty.

Sorry to burst your bubble, but virtually none of your nations now in peace mode have cycled in and out before. Over 230 of them were already in peace when you started this war. Try to spin something you can without making yourself look like a liar.

No, no, those are "bank nations". They apparently have over 200 of them at Pacifica, otherwise they can't rebuild. You see, it's immoral to demand that we attack that quarter of the alliance we're at war with.

:wacko:

Simply not true,You guys got a shot at them.We can't help that in the rush to get a target you guys failed to stagger.

i don't know if you looked at bob's comment but quite a few of those nations never even went into war mode...

other than that meh i couldn't care less if you guys sit it out in peace mode it just means those that aren't in pm are slowly going to be ground to dust by an overwhelming force.

For those who say they will keep lobbing nukes etc etc, you may be able to but what's the point of lobbing them at lower ranks , you do minimal damage wich can quite quickly be repaid for and it's too costly to keep doing it for ever.

The NPO has shown quite well that it's easy too maintain a peace keeping force on lower ranks.

The following nations have engaged in wars:

1. Kingdom of Dark (one cycle)

40. Xanzaria (two cycles)

44. ROMA CAPUT MUNDI (one cycle)

46. Elendil of Twilight Renegades (one cycle)

49. junnyyo of Egerian Empire (two cycles)

53. LiTHiUM0480 of Klondike (at war)

54. Seti Cruncher of SetiCrunchers (at war)

56. Epsilon of Dekuyper (one cycle; apparently left NPO)

59. Feuersturm of Feuersturm Empire (one cycle)

61. Shiite of Mahdi (at war)

63. Master Splinter of Unicron (three cycles)

64. Magus Rules of Magusland (at war)

65. lordtyrion of Aryan Alliance (at war)

66. Kevin the Great of Buckmaster Land (one cycle)

68. il7thangel of Virimonde (at war)

69. yohon of Nevindia (one cycle)

70. Kinky Kahn of Celltopia (one cycle)

71. kxs of Strømmonia (two cycles)

72. Williambonney of Lincoln county (four cycles)

75. Zeta Defender of Powerious (at war)

76. hx239 of hx239 (at war)

78. King Symba of Symbaland (two cycles)

79. Jesse End of Devon (at war)

80. DarkMistress of Jamon (at war)

81. flameboy of Metropolia (two cycles)

82. Slywolfe of Slywolfe (one cycle)

83. Arcades057 of Delray Beach (at war)

84. TrilobyteMan of Trilobyte Land (at war)

85. Moriar of Csdia (one cycle)

86. smoking1976 of Gardiewonka (three cycles)

89. Xantha of The Vale of Aldur (one cycle)

90.-94. (at war)

95. Azr726 of Azrdonia (four cycles)

96. Polemarch of Doria (two cycles)

98. andit13 of HItman World (one cycle)

97. 99. 100. (at war)

So, what you say is broadly true in the lower part, 75-100: 23 of these 25 nations (92%) have fought at least once. This fits with what I heard about difficulty in staggering in the 20-40k range. But higher up, it is simply a lie. Only 14 of those in 50-75 (56%) have seen war, and five of the top 50 (10%!!).

And several of those nations that did see war in the first wave and managed to escape have been hiding for almost a month now.

So this hasn't been done before? We got what top nations we could in to peace in order to rebuild.But not near the 200-230 nation number that others have thrown around.

I did look at Bob's comment and it looks correct for the most part.But proportionally We haven't done anything that any other alliance hasn't done in the past.

Saying "jump off a cliff and We won't kill kill you so bad"Is not a very good incentive for peace.If anything it only encourages us to continue as We have nothing to lose.

I don't recall many alliances having more than 50% of their nation strength in peace mode. Not even FAN went that far (not counting nations that ditched AAs and hid elsewhere). Using peace mode as a tool is one thing, there's a difference between using peace mode to recover from nuclear anarchy and launch new attacks, and just sitting there pretty waiting for the war to end.

Link to comment

More than 1 in 4 nations within NPO is in Peace Mode at this time. 269, in fact. Out of 809. So that "200 - 230 number people have been throwing around" is actually a lower estimate than what the current lists are showing...

For those who say they will keep lobbing nukes etc etc, you may be able to but what's the point of lobbing them at lower ranks , you do minimal damage wich can quite quickly be repaid for and it's too costly to keep doing it for ever.

The NPO has shown quite well that it's easy too maintain a peace keeping force on lower ranks.

I did look at Bob's comment and it looks correct for the most part.But proportionally We haven't done anything that any other alliance hasn't done in the past.

Saying "jump off a cliff and We won't kill kill you so bad"Is not a very good incentive for peace.If anything it only encourages us to continue as We have nothing to lose.

Having your nations leave peace mode is not comparable to jumping off a cliff. Damaging certainly, but not deadly. Especially when you consider war chests that can be used for instant rebuilding to mid-level banking size and improvements & wonders that can be used for quick rebuilding.

These forums would be a lot more interesting if people ever got their facts checked would'nt they?

Actually, these forums would be a lot less interesting if people fact checked.

I don't recall many alliances having more than 50% of their nation strength in peace mode. Not even FAN went that far (not counting nations that ditched AAs and hid elsewhere). Using peace mode as a tool is one thing, there's a difference between using peace mode to recover from nuclear anarchy and launch new attacks, and just sitting there pretty waiting for the war to end.

More than 1 in 4 nations within NPO is in Peace Mode at this time. 269, in fact. Out of 809. So that "200 - 230 number people have been throwing around" is actually a lower estimate than what the current lists are showing...

Most of which aren't banking nations which is what is at issue here.

Sorry to burst your bubble, but virtually none of your nations now in peace mode have cycled in and out before. Over 230 of them were already in peace when you started this war. Try to spin something you can without making yourself look like a liar.

No, no, those are "bank nations". They apparently have over 200 of them at Pacifica, otherwise they can't rebuild. You see, it's immoral to demand that we attack that quarter of the alliance we're at war with.

:wacko:

Simply not true,You guys got a shot at them.We can't help that in the rush to get a target you guys failed to stagger.

Yes deadly if the purpose of this tactic is to destroy our ability to rebuild.You haven't offered terms with this ultimatum, We have no idea what the end game is.We have to assume it's our annihilation.

Destroying your ability to rebuild quickly is a legitimate goal and part of the purpose, yes. It's not the same as preventing your rebuilding at all, which will still happen because a ZI'd nation with full economics improvements, wonders, and in many cases left over warchests build up infra a lot faster than new nations.

You don't have to assume it's your annihilation. Months of war is not the intent and you'd likely have peace already if so many nations hadn't been hiding in peace mode.

The "oh no they are never gonna give us peace!" business is just a ploy and excuse to test our resolve on this matter. It isn't working.

Without terms we have no idea of reparations or hindrances to be placed on us.How long do our banks need to be teed off on until your side is satisfied? We have no idea what timetable these terms will arrive,If it all.

It's hard for us to accept a precondition on a event when We have no idea when that event will occur.

As for this being a ploy,Ask anyone at NPO. I'm not in charge of anything.I just work here.

Ask the guys fighting you?

Things would be a lot easier for NPO if the discussions with Karma leadership were made with an attitude of humility, instead of useless posturing.

They've done that, and been refused.

It's pretty rich. Karma are the same people that were squeeing about NPO running new CN nations out of the game with the Jarhead war - yet they attack our applicants. Karma - whose company they keep have been attacking out tiniest nations and newest players in the game when they sign up for NPO for well over a year trying to run them out of the game. The NPO provides a safe haven for CN players on Red, to further retain players who do not wish to join an alliance - yet Karma allies use this war to raid them. Never minding of course the extent to which the NPO goes to train and retain new players in the game. Karma is nothing more than a ululating horde - mindless children straight out of "Lord of the Flies". Their approach to terms fits them to a tee - what they really are - not what they profess to be.

Karma = Morality when convenient.

Karma = Morality makes a good cover story but would not it know if it morality hit them in the face.

Hrm. It's not like NPO ever threatened anyone over having members in peace mode...something about not freeing their passion or anything....oh, wait..

Do you guys ever realize your own medicine's very bitter?

I fail to see how hiding in peace mode is a better strategy for NPO in the long term. If you choose to stay in PM the "Karma" side of the war have clearly achieved their objective and therefore won. The objective is of course to damage NPO and slow their ability to rebuild. And no terms can do that more effectively than making you stay in peace mode.

But I guess I'm just a naive little boy with no competence in regards to this game
