I wanted to clarify my intent in my response to your post concerning your change or not in your personality and posting. i did not mean it in a condescending or aggressive way. I was honestly trying to give you an answer to your question as I saw it. I am very sorry it came across as anything but sincere criticism.

I saw that as more of a compliment to MK regarding their great propaganda skills. But you are right it was an OOC term that should not have been in the surrender and MK should have stood their ground and we wouldn't be discussing this now. The so called "beer reviews" are an attempt to humiliate your opponent and is a childish term. I get that most players are 18 to 22 and the drinking of alcohol is a revered past time. When they get older they will realize that drunken frat boys and high school kids are pretty much a cliche, and a laughing stock. They will also realize that drinking alcohol does not make you cool.

quote: "I would like to think I am the same tell it how it is kind of person I have always been but I have noticed recently that others seem to be lashing out at me more. I have no issues with this it is the name of the game. But at the same time I wonder if I have changed for the worst. If I think someone has been wronged, I will stand up for them. If I think someone has been stupid, I let them know. I argue with the facts as I see them.

This is the way I have always been and it is the way I will always be."

I used to like and respect you when you were in NAAC and I almost joined NAAC after reading your posts on the forums. But lately I have asked myself if you have sold or traded your nation to another player. You seem to spout the rhetoric of your allies whether it is true or not. When you were the leader of NAAC you posted your views whether they supported your allies or not. I believe your hate of your enemies has made you bitter and narrow minded. But hey that is my opinion and I am sure you have plenty of sycophants to tell you that you haven't changed.

[A quick note]

I think people were more annoyed with the forced decommissioning of wonders like the WRC that costs 150 million per nation, and reps forced on alliances who were aggressively attacked for reasons like "one of your members has an almost matching IP address of someone we, the hegemony said can no longer play this game"

asking for incredibly small reps when you were on the defensive side and took a lot of damage is fine by my standards, in the instance of FoB, 500 million is less then the average warchest for a single nation (pre war )

The two instances hardly compare to each other, hegemony asked for absolutely everything an alliance had left after the war, where as in this war we have only a few alliances asking for meagre rebuilding funds.

I agree with you that the forced decom of wonders and crippling reps were a very bad thing for the life of this game and community. The problem is that we have alliances who had crippling reps put on them, are salivating at the chance to do it to their opponents in this war. They talk about how awful the reps and treatment of a defeated alliance was, but their solution is to do it to their defeated opponent. I mean come on you have to see that if it was a horrible thing to have done to you, or your friends, then it is a horrible thing to do to your enemy. An eye for an eye just leaves everyone blind in the end. The only way to rejuvenate this game and community is to stop driving away players and alliances. War should be the only punishment given out to your opponent, reps are just a way to hurt your opponent more "because you can". If you cant hurt your opponent in war, and gain enough of an advantage over them because of it, then you should not be fighting them in the first place.

I am not trying to get meager reps for my alliance. I am pretty sure my leadership wont pay harsh reps to our opponents and I wont pay them if it comes down to it. Thos war has put alliances in power that i feel will drive players and the fun out of this game.

[A quick note]

I totally agree, nothing should change and everything should stay the same. When alliances were jack booted in the past and they decried how awful it was they seem only to happy now to do it to other alliances as soon as they get the chance. Either it was wrong in the past or it wasn't wrong at all, you can't have it both ways.
