Either this guy is for real and in need of some help, help only qualified theropists can give, or he is a comic genious.

Congrats. Anybody remember what happened to the last hegemony?

This is nice to see.

I don't know Lanna other than by name, but there are two things I want to point out here: 1st, Gowfanatic and I go way back and if he endorses this DoW (which he clearly does) then the only conclusion to be drawn is that it is the classy thing to do and that general hilariousness will be a part of the fun. 2nd, by all accounts, Apparatus is good people. Those who are allied to them obviously think so and I have ssen nothing but respect on the boards by those who are sparring with them; this leads to only one logical conclusion. Those who are speaking of App in an ill manor are those who have no idea what they are talking about. It seems as the loudest people in this discussion are also the most supid and ignorant, mouth breathing cave dwellers. That being said, I offer these words of encouragement to my good friends in both App and the depths of the undead: ALL HAIL THE RESISTANCE.

I must apologize. In my haste to vent on the sad state that passes as the norm these days, I completely forgot to mention that Neb-X is completely classy and I enjoyed the WITTY banter I had with streethawk during our war. I acknowledge a fun opponent who didn't forget that it was about FUN. I appreciate that. Good luck with all you do Neb-X.

[quote name='Ameroca' timestamp='1323568524' post='2873068'] Heck, our diplomat even approached you with a deal that would have certainly improved our relations before this all went down, but you ignored it. [/quote] If you are referring to P. Henderson, the guy has been demasked for conduct we deemed inappropriate of any diplomat. In fact, any diplomat who trolls an alliance while on their own forum deserves the nukes he is currently taking...I am off topic. Here is the final assessment of the situation, as far as I am concerned. NPL messed up. NPL not only apologized, both personally by members of messed up, and as an alliance, but paid reps for the mess up. Instead of stating the reps weren't enough, during the negotiations of the reps, GOONs seems to think that after ACCEPTING reps, they have a legitmate CB. I still don't have a problem with that. The problem I have is the consistent belligerence by random GOONs. They are sending in-game messages about what a terrible AA we are, when we complied with everything they asked and they still attacked. This is whining (see how I got that in before you could claim that is what it is). This is simply stating observations. Now, roll away. The entire might of DH against 80ish nations. We are such a lousy AA, that 1, I repeat, 1 nation surrendered. The rest of us have taken the best you have. The rest of us have fought tooth and nail against an overwhelming aggressor. We are terrible. Just terrible (those last two sentences are provided so they can be taken out of context by those who thrive on such). Nevermind; Please forget I said anything. I have already forgotten how unimportant this conversation is. /me goes back to nuking GOONs.

[quote name='SoADarthCyfe6' timestamp='1324012840' post='2879615'] Really, your going for technicalities. You should just stop now before you become like you other buddies of Jaiar and Vulpes. Since you're proving to be just as incompetent as the rest of your alliance, you are therefore, quite fitting to be NPL. Again, Technicalities is the weakest form of any type of argument anyone can make. Saying I have fleeting thoughts, beliefs or attitudes that are based off technicalities means you are trying as a last resort to make an argument for your side. It generally makes you look highly incompetent, not that you haven't already accomplished that. Keep em' coming sonny. [/quote] I can't understand you when you mumble.

[quote name='Phaedron' timestamp='1324117771' post='2880485'] Never said we weren't a bunch of odd ducks -- but we are odd ducks who see a fight we feel is unfair against our allies, and we feel obliged to jump in. If that brings us to ZI, then so be it, but we will fight long and hard and with as much honor as we can muster. That is all we can ask, and all we can give. That said, thanks for the kind words It's not that you declared war on us. You will notice my high level of respect for GATO's interactions with us, and an increasing level of respect for VE as well. Despite my misgivings about the way they entered the war, they have conducted themselves admirably. Threatening PMs are simply uncalled for and unnecessary, and the only one I've gotten has been from an NG member. Again, War is war. How you conduct yourself during that war is a matter of honor and valor. [/quote] Long Live the Resistance!

Once more into the breach. I give congrats to my PPO friends and allies.

Nice to see our friends at Apparatus get some action. Have fun.

[quote name='Chief Savage Man' timestamp='1323642664' post='2874305'] This is going to be [b]that[/b] front, isn't it? [/quote] I didn't get past page 12, but this just won the thread.

[quote name='Sardonic' timestamp='1323585993' post='2873535'] That's going to be hard if you keep running afoul of my SDI. Also it's funny to watch Omni and Krack go at it. [/quote] I will be honest, I totally have SDI envy. You have heard it here: Sardonic's SDI is on crack. /me tips hat to Sardonic's SDI and then pushes the red button.

Despite the snipers taking pop shots, classy DoW, guys. Welcome to the fray. Good luck.

[quote name='Sardonic' timestamp='1323582967' post='2873385'] This shot at CSN was unnecessary. [/quote] I hope everybody who has made me agree with Sardonic burns like his nation as I nuke him into oblivion. [quote name='Clash' timestamp='1323584918' post='2873492'] This is the way of the world these days, no need for CBs anymore. Any excuse for a curbstomp. I'm sure CN will be a lot better for it tho. [/quote] There are no more established practices in CN. I don't know if the above statement is supposed to be ironical, but I will take it as such.

I like to bump it.

Meh. This posts says hall of greats and then only mentions heads of state? I am great and a former member of CSN - why am I not mentioned? Much love CSN.

CRAP? Great. Nice job. /me continues lurking outside of Liz's window.

[quote name='Sarmatian Empire' timestamp='1318951020' post='2827930'] Tensions are high...I like this, well done NPL and the other alliance for causing more drama [/quote] I am confused how a PIAT, which for all intents and purposes, says I like you and want to be friends, is creating drama...hmmm maybe it isn't the two alliance involved creating the drama? o/NPL o/ARES o/Those who cause drama.

Am I the 1 millionth poster? What did I win? I knew it. I just won CN and all I had to do was join NPL.

I've heard rumors about you HB people. /me joins the celebration with all of his old friends. /me drinks more wine than AT or Mila combined. /me vomits on the serving winch. /me celebrates HB and 1 million.

bump and stuff...I took care of this for us at systemfailures request. Join NPL to win CN.

CSN. What losers.

I am so tired of this thread and kind of hate myself for posting in the midst of personal attacks and half truths used in the guise of evidence. Here is how it works. DT attacked Legacy, a former protectorate of CSN and a current treaty holder with CSN. CSN countered, as would have been expected. LESS THAN A WEEK LATER, DT asked for peace. They didn't even wait for the end of the round. CSN government wanted to send a message. You don't mess with our allies. Now, CSN did start with a ridiculously high reps. We knew that. It a place to start with negotiations. We never expected DT to just say, "OK, we'll give you 40k tech." However, DT didn't want to play the negotiation game. They didn't want to play the game at all. They wanted to take their ball and go home (for those who will take this out of context, please realize that I am building an analogy). Remember the kids on the playground in elementary school who started to lose and instead of digging in and trying to find a way out, they through a fit? That is what happened. That is it. DT's government had a tantrum. (OOC - I have children of my own. As a parent, I tell you they never get what they want if they throw a tantrum). They have then dumped partial logs, told half truths, and even used a hacked board's private CSN conversation against us (I have even seen my words used against CSN by the trolls out there). Please hear me before the trolling starts. Most people in CSN have enjoyed the conversations we have had with DT members; we, however, will not give in to demands given in the midst of a temper tantrum. The ball is in, and has been in, court; they just don't want to play; they keep trying to go home without finishing the game. I'm not even sure why I am trying. There are so many people who made up their mind before they had even half the facts that they just started trolling. There are just as many who heard all the facts. Both sides know who they are. I'll probably never speak here again. Or maybe I will jump on the troll bandwagon. Also: ICE CREAM.

Welcome to maroon. Come over to CSN and set up an embassy. We would love to get you all in on our maroon tech deals.

This is more like the US invasion of Panama than a real war. That's probably why no outrage has been expressed, (edit) except by the moron who helped start his own demise (end edit). Good training for the new recruits, a bit of combat experience, but in the end, only a fun distraction from the everyday shenanigans of CN politics.
