Oh yeah, can you tell that story? I never had any contact with the CSN folks at all. We probably would have lost at least a third of the AA if we hadn't declared on MK. So many people had come to Invicta because they wanted to fight MK for one reason or another, we had essentially become a staging ground for MK haters.

They were obviously as a colour, shade of purple-grey. +10 to anyone who gets the reference.

Sparta's always been a running joke as far as I can remember, but good luck in new endeavours.

The end times are with us, CLAWS and Legion are in a bloc together. Congrats 😎

They do still have the most total of all alliances. I've fought a number of times both with and against NPO nations, and they are well above average in terms of both military competence and preparation. Well, most of them. Molon Labe was maybe better to fight with, but that was a long time ago, and I was still pretty green at warfare when they were teaching me what to do. Nueva Vida seemed like really tough opponents, but that was almost as long ago that I fought them. Ah, Orion. I remember rolling (an alliance named Orion) in defence of NPO way back when. Not the toughest alliance I've ever fought; maybe they'd have survived though if they'd stuck with their leader, he seemed like a good guy.

One-third of Illuminati sent surrender offers on the first day when we attacked them way back in 2008. Most of the rest were inactive and sent offers when they logged in. This is the high bar for alliance-wide military incompetence. Let me know if you find another.

No, in the golden days of CN you were a running joke. I like Canik though so hopefully you've turned that around. 😎

This is backwards, you need to say "hopefully I pissed off enough people." 😎 I barely knew ya, but you knew WC, so good luck out there.

He's a Fark member who has 28 senate votes currently on Aqua. This would put him ahead of the #4 senate nation on Aqua, but curiously, he isn't listed on the world senators list.

I nearly quit because of Skyrim. There are lots of games out there; probably a good number of former CN players are now playing smartphone games or MMOs. But also, one basic thing about games is that as people get older most of them don't play games as much. In the boom time of CN, a lot of players were high school or college students, and well they graduated. The catch was that the new batch of students weren't showing up in the same numbers.

That's not a mantra of Oculus.

That might be a record. Congrats? 😎

Dude, all his voters are from Non Grata, and I'm pretty sure they left Oculus sometime around when they declared on IRON.

I used to log everything on IRC. Of course most of those logs were, err, of lesser quality. 😎 In another browser game similar to this one, I was for a few months in an IRC-only alliance. That was a ton of fun. Our war coordination was the best.

That already happened. It was 2008 to be exact. I'm keen on seeing it going the other way myself. 😎
