Tritonia

Here's to a very tidy moor!

Congratulations, Sir W_A_R. It is a great pleasure to finally address you with a title I feel you richly deserve. And my congratulations to Dame Hime Themis, Sir Winslow, and Squire Floyd.

Here's to a beginning.

Peace mode is probably the single most debilitating condition in this entire game. I understand why the penalties are there, for balance reasons, but it's rather harsh even for the minimum duration. I think I've done fine over the course of the past year, but not everyone is willing to play the game like I do.

*Yawns* *Stretches* Looks like naptime is over. Time to greet a new day.

Tritonia finds it a vastly superior substitute. Edit: Wow, horrible typo.

You're hilarious.

As you will likely learn very shortly, it is generally not a wise idea to advertise this unless you're actively looking for an alliance. This is also generally not the going rate for external-alliance tech deals. 100 tech for 3 million is much more common and considered fair to both parties, but you may find someone feeling generous. You'll also find the Black Market is a more suitable place to post advertisements for tech deals. Welcome to CN.

Good to hear.

Congratulations my fellow grey tradesmen!

See, I knew there was a reason why I still like you.

Well, B1L never left, and NEAT was sort of... reinvented at one point. Didn't get very far, IIRC.

I disagree. I agree. To PMs then!

Then perhaps I'm not sure what "acting as a bloc" actually means. When did LoFN act as a bloc? Other than when every member of it was declared upon, in which case it really didn't matter because everyone was in the same boat anyway. Some would have, some wouldn't have. Nobody would have had any obligation to help The Corps other than because they felt like taking a stand with them. But by the same token, Coscience's actions was not reflective of The Corps as a whole. He understood that. Which is why he left and let your allies attack him to prevent his comrades from suffering for his actions. Much more courageous on his part. It's confusing because you're attempting to apply conventional standards of conduct to a group that didn't operate conventionally. The blame was on Conscience because it was Conscience's call as an independent leader of a nation to ask for the sanction of your raiders. It wasn't the responsibility of The Corps. It wasn't the responsibility of anybody else in LoFN. He was responsible for himself. All of us were.

No, LoFN was not a formal bloc, nor was it a formal alliance. It wasn't like Superfriends or WUT, or even NpO or GATO. It was a networking forum. There was no particular pledges of defense or support. As far as I can tell, the closest thing to it and NONE were the early days of Vox's reformation, except Vox more directly rallied against the powers that be rather than for independence. LoFN had several members that were, in my opinion, rather brash. LoFN never deliberately organized any sort of forum raid targeted at GOD. Several people were upset with what GOD did and voiced that opinion. Conscience may have made a bad choice, but that was all his call, not any sort of collective will of LoFN. What?

I wouldn't call it a smear campaign if the charges were perfectly valid. I recall a relatively sizable portion of the CN community including several non-LoFN members being less than pleased at the way you had handled a particular raid and I remember Conscience requesting sanctions of your members. I also remember him being attacked before, during, and after his anniversary.

I don't recall ever denying that LoFN was a derivative of NONE. NONE had failed to achieve the results we had hoped it would, and so LoFN was developed as our policies gradually changed. Again, I don't know what you think we were up to. I'd like to, though.

I didn't ignore it. It simply seemed irrelevant since it goes something like this: 1. Walford founded NONE. 2. NONE seeks to bring organization and military cooperation to unaligned nations. 3. Walford was laughed at and shunned. 4. NONE recedes into the background. 5. LoFN forms from NONE. 6. NEAT was involved in LoFN. All of which are valid observations. Now, which one of the 6 above points is "damning"? That NONE was a military force? Everyone has a right to self defense. The members of NONE cooperated out of enlightened self-interest. Unless association with Walford is a punishable offense (as several people believe it to be), then there's really nothing "bad" suggested in the entire post. Even then, NEAT as an entity had very little contact with Walford. Edit: I should also mention that "from the very beginning" could be misconstrued. NEAT was young when it arrived at LoFN, but it was an independent project that Burn1Love started on his own. It was not, as we might say, a "home-grown" product from LoFN.

Really? GOD & Co. came to the conclusion that: "The LoFN claims to be a meeting and discussion facility for small alliances away from the main CN forum"? How many times do I have to tell you that you had (and likely still have) a gross misconception of what NONE/LoFN's primary function was, not to mention the level of involvement NEAT as an independent alliance had with it. Edit: Misquote.

Welcome back, Chief. Hope you stick around a while. Hello Pot, my name is Kettle.

This is the bit I'm confused about. I think I'm getting lost in vocabulary.

I know it's rather late to ask, but why didn't Tritonia advance from the pools?

Welcome back, Ivan.
