Francesca Posted August 16, 2009 Report Share Posted August 16, 2009 I was having a conversation with my good friend President Kent this evening. We are both former Voxians and we both struggled against the Hegemony, which in President Kent's case was a nine-month long struggle, and mine three or four months. We both danced around an issue for about an hour before coming to a shocking conclusion.... we are both affected by the following: Post-Voxitus: Apathy and a complete lack of motivation caused by overexertion towards a particular goal which, when fulfilled, leaves a sufferer feeling empty, lethargic and worthless. Strange though it may seem, the New Pacific Order in all its stagnation provided many with a reason to play Cyber Nations. I never knew a world which Pacifica did not rule, I'm not quite sure how to play in this strange new political situation. I'm now looking for a different reason to play this game, a new goal for which I might strive. Nothing of interest has happened in the past month, I'm sick of waiting for Karma civil war, TOP aren't very good at being evil overlords, and frankly I can't be stuffed bringing them down. So, with a complete lack of stimulation, I'm really getting rather bored. What are your thoughts? (oh, and props to Kent for the Post-Voxitus definition.)

Bird of Passage Posted August 16, 2009 Report Share Posted August 16, 2009 The feeling is shared, my very dear friend... ...such is partly why you are always welcome in Solitude, the other part being that I love you so much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hell Scream Posted August 16, 2009 Report Share Posted August 16, 2009 I agree with you, Fran. We have to destroy a pink alliance to make it fun again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Francesca Posted August 16, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2009 Just give it time, if you look close enough, you can already see sparks. But I've been giving it time, and I'm boooooooored. I want some goddamn war already. There have already been sparks, and they were quickly dampened. Who's to say that won't keep happening?

Hell Scream Posted August 16, 2009 Report Share Posted August 16, 2009 I will be happy when Round 2 comes and NPO wins. Karma need to be punished, they are EVIL! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Francesca Posted August 16, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2009 The war has only recently finished, these things don't happen overnight. Perhaps not, but how long is it going to take? Another month or two? In the meantime, do we seriously have to just sit around listening to music on IRC while the war takes its sweet time? Thoughts like these make me want to join the NSO. But nobody wants that. Also, "publicly" dampened? Lol, in some cases. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Facade Posted August 16, 2009 Report Share Posted August 16, 2009 Don't worry. Eventually one of these sparks will actually ignite after the sides get tired of settling things diplomatically. It always happens. Personally I was hoping that for a while after the Karma War ended, the top alliances would begin vying for power politically and possibly militarily. I thought there would be more than what's happening now though. :\ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keltoi Posted August 16, 2009 Report Share Posted August 16, 2009 meh, peace sucks but it's a good time to build up your warchest, chin up old girl, the nature of PB wont let peace reign for too long Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chimaera Posted August 16, 2009 Report Share Posted August 16, 2009 Why don't we just start a witch hunt against all the remaining former Continuum members? That's what Pacifica would do. Look at all of them, ripe to get curbstomped. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Diorno Posted August 16, 2009 Report Share Posted August 16, 2009 Still too many treaties binding everyone to each other, although the main offenders, the large alliances doing nothing except allowing NPO to run the show have been taken out, the other large alliances are quickly becoming accustomed to the same mentality. No wars for a very very long time from where I stand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Dan Posted August 16, 2009 Report Share Posted August 16, 2009 That's actually an excellent quote. Peace is the time in which we build up our warchests. Because we didn't have a year already to do it with a slight pause for the Karma war. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
