As the Deputy Prime Minister of NPL, I feel I am owed the answer to just one question. It's a question that seriously has me scratching my head. Who is tR? I seriously never heard of them before their ill advised attempt to play with us. I think the best way to describe this whole situation is Anyway, good luck. I hear things like NPL is a parking lot or the worst AA ever. [img]http://i1153.photobucket.com/albums/p502/awhiteesq/NPLReservedParking.png[/img]

[quote name='Daimos' timestamp='1340380427' post='2992739'] You gotta do what you gotta do. Edit: I have to add this in. I am continually been impress with NATO in how you have handled this with NPO. Our two alliances might not see eye to eye on this but you have acted and conveyed your thoughts and feelings like true gentlemen. Good luck NATO! [/quote] This sentiment, I appreciate. Would that all allies who are put in a tough situation could handle themselves acoordingly.

[quote name='lebubu' timestamp='1340387918' post='2992814'] one side is destroying the other count again [/quote] Either/or reasoning = logical fallacy. I teach this to 9th graders; geesh, my own 3rd grade son knows better than this. Somebody failed your entire nation when it came to education.

[quote name='SoADarthCyfe6' timestamp='1340382898' post='2992753'] I feel like I'm arguing D34th or Alterego, the bewilderment of logic is too much for them and for you comprehend. I feel sorry for you, I truly do. [/quote] This folks, is called projection. [quote] Psychological projection or projection bias is a psychological defense mechanism where a person subconsciously denies his or her own attributes, thoughts, and emotions, which are then ascribed to the outside world, usually to other people. Thus, projection involves imagining or projecting the belief that others originate those feelings. Projection reduces anxiety by allowing the expression of the unwanted unconscious impulses or desires without letting the conscious mind recognize them. An example of this behavior might be blaming another for self failure. The mind may avoid the discomfort of consciously admitting personal faults by keeping those feelings unconscious, and by redirecting libidinal satisfaction by attaching, or "projecting," those same faults onto another person or object. [/quote] [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psychological_projection"]Source[/url] You, sir, are projecting your own lapses in logic onto others. :le sigh:

AvT, I knew of you, but didn't know you until you came to NPL. I have been constantly amazed at your insights, your friendship, and your ability to care about so many people in CN. I too knew this was in the works; but knowing it was coming didn't make the announcement any easier to swallow. Good luck. Come visit. I'll drink a beer for you.

Ok, that last attempt was...well, horrible, though horrible doesn't have strong enough connotations. lemme try again Join NPL: we have nukes and zombies!

[quote name='Jaiar' timestamp='1340300116' post='2991957'] I have logs, unfortunately, about the "war plan" being implemented which amounts to just sit there getting wrecked so top tier enemy nations our out of range leaving the fight to smaller tier nations where a numerical advantage supposedly exists. Attrition and nations begging their leadership to end the war...I came up with VietSuperFriends because it will be basically like VietFan only self imposed. You fungi are lucky no one listens to me or that the opposition is led by stat huggers and cowards. If an entire coalition were on board I would do a VietFungi and just tear you guys down for months even if it meant all coalition nations would be in peace mode and only coming out when it was there turn to fight to keep you well staggered and nuked. I wouldn't be afraid of your 70k+ nations. I would tear all MK nations down to well under 500 tech. MK crushed would be good even though it would lead to an eventual coalition defeat and the sacrifice of the coalition's top tiers. What other option is there? The current war plan sucks and building a bigger coalition to actually win a conventional war is years away if it ever happens at all. No risk, no reward. This no risk business gets them rolled anyway, might as well do something different and effective while you're at it. [/quote] Jaiar, your inability to not speak when you are not in the know is why you are in your current situation.

[quote name='Systemfailure' timestamp='1340276907' post='2991720'] On the plus side of things GOONS seem to love nukes as much as we do so im surprised they dont have an embassy with us... I wonder why? Oh yeah join the NPL, we are better then most of these other AA's because we arent staffed by 6 year olds with god complexes [/quote] That's right; we're staffed by old men and Kem: we treat SF like our old women with saggy breasts. Er, wait. Join NPL; we love our long hard missiles.

[quote name='Stormsend' timestamp='1340294004' post='2991868'] I don't always post on the OWF. But when I do, it's to concede to my enemies' wit and strength. [/quote] I don't usually give a :thumbsup: to MK, but MK posters are rarely this witty.

Honestly, this is the most legitimate CB I have seen in the past year, with the exception of Legion rolling Tetris. IRON, I have personally never 'liked' you, as you have always been on the other side of the web from me, but I respect this move. at those complaining about a legit CB.... Are solid CBs so rare that we don't recognize them when we see them? *We = the whole of the CN community.

NATO, I appreciate that you are defending our mutual friends. It makes me happy that you have the honor to do so. I also have some sympathy for the place it puts you with other allies. Good luck, and I sincerely wish your relations aren't to strained. That said, I would also express my sympathy of you allies, for whom I have a healthy respect. o/Allies o/Friends

[quote name='Sardonic' timestamp='1340135842' post='2989115'] We won, like always? I don't see what you're driving at, NPL member, it's not like you'd fair better than we did against Kaskus. In fact, I'd say you'd fair quite a bit worse. [/quote] You know where to find us. /me shrugs. You won't, though, will you? Give 'em hell, RIA.

[quote name='Sardonic' timestamp='1340133490' post='2989067'] RIA, take note, this is what a funny/awesome thread looks like. Try to remember that going forward. [/quote] Try to remember what happened the last time you went to war.

[quote name='Systemfailure' timestamp='1339349694' post='2980286'] bumpy [/quote] I am disappointed in the lack of creativity exhibited in this post. Lemme show you how it's done: um...please join NPL....OR WE MIGHT NUKE YOU!

[quote name='wickedj' timestamp='1340098083' post='2988727'] i just want to post here so i can use a bunch of exclamation marks !!! !!!! !!!!!!!!!!!![b]!!!!!![/b] [/quote] Bah. I disapprove of your use of [b]bolded exclamation marks[/b]; seems like overkill.

Well. This just ruined my whole day. I was in the midst of planning a rogue preempt against the entirety of what is left of Goons. Oh well, maybe next. o/ Standing by allies.

It saddens me that GATO has such a short memory. I remember, when I was a young lad, a fresh recruit in CSN, when we, because you needed help, burned for you. Took my first ZI for you, and look at what you have become. <insert statement of denial or we are so much better...heckle heckle...yawn> I am disappointed.

Best read to date. Keep those kiddies in line Farkistan.

[quote name='Bob Ilyani' timestamp='1339995355' post='2987240'] Clearly an unbiased source [/quote] Pot? Kettle? 'nough said. Your bridge is currently empty. Please go back under it.

[quote name='Bob Ilyani' timestamp='1339995548' post='2987244'] How many days has it been since your blocmate was hit? [/quote] :cheerleader: oh wait...

All this Dow is missing is theme music. Wait.... Good Luck, Invicta!

That DoW is the best of 2012. Just saying.

[ooc] Not sure where to add this, but this wiki: [url="http://cybernations.wikia.com/wiki/MK-CSN_War"]MK-CSN_War[/url] lists Ump's attack on FARK as an allie to CSN. CSN recently dropped the FARK treaty. Anyway, just though that should be addressed in case anybody wants to claim some FARK/CSN conspiracy or some nonsense.[ooc] I just check and there are a total of 43 wars declared from both sides. :yawn:

[quote name='Tromp' timestamp='1339671088' post='2983230'] Hereno, you should be more considerate of MK's precarious position here. The poor guys have so many minions to control, so many strings to keep separated from each other! [/quote] That is just pure awesome right there. I couldn't even read the other 6 pages of this thread, because this post wins, hands down.
