[quote name='Mussolandia' date='01 February 2010 - 12:01 PM' timestamp='1265043671' post='2150640'] There is no TJO-NSO rivalry and it would be nerdy and stupid if there ever was one. [/quote] I completely agree with all of that.

It occurs to me while folks continue to argue RV's specifics, he nailed the general idea. As purely a player of CN, ask yourself which is more fun: wartime or peacetime. If you answered peace time and are not currently a member of GPA or any of the other neutral alliances, you might just want to reconsider your AA. Now as for the rest of us, the ones that think war time is a much more enjoyable time from a players perspective, I have another question. If you enjoy war, then why would you impose terms at the end of a war that makes it impossible for the other side to give you another war for a long time? For me, I tend to not take this stuff very seriously, even when I get as IC as I get. There are, of course, times that certain players or certain alliances get under my skin. Happens to all of us at some point I'd think. Now, after I get to drop some explosives on 'em or make 'em glow for a while, I've noticed that irritation seems to float away. It makes sense when you think about it. Somebody annoys you in a game, you blow them up real good in a game and that annoyance *should* be sated. Wartime is good for an alliance too and it doesn't matter what side of a fight your on. Alliances see upswings in things like activity level on their boards during a war. Players and friends that got kinda bored with it all swing back by because fun has been delivered. Those little jokes that make an alliance an alliance get reborn and new ones are make. My point is very simple. War is good for this game. It's good for you as a player. It's good for you as an alliance. It's time to face that fact and begin to enjoy war for enjoyments sake if you haven't already. With that in mind, don't be a bunch of !@#$@#$ !@#$%^&*8 when !@#$ is done. Don't tell folks to get rid of wonders. Don't try to force an alliance to put in a new leader. Don't try to !@#$@#$ steal every bit of !@#$ you didn't blow up. In short, don't !@#$@#$ wreck the game for some stupid !@#$%^&* vendetta. If you enjoyed blowing somebody up today, you'll enjoy blowing them up tomorrow. Quit !@#$@#$ wrecking it for everyone else by making it so you can't fight a war without being screwed for a year or more. War is good. Don't $%&@ it up for everyone else.

Dirty stinking disgusting bandwago... ...eh, I ain't got the heart for good old fashioned war butthurtin'. Welcome to the party pal.

[/quote] I will tell the OP and Doitzel the news as soon as I can track the both of them down. For some reason, I can never get both of them in the same room, it's either one or the other. Kinda like you can never find Clark Kent when Superman is around. Weird.

[quote name='avernite' date='31 January 2010 - 12:57 AM' timestamp='1264917451' post='2146864'] those logs are what, 2 years old? Congrats on joining the old CB trend. [/quote] Ahem.

Remind me to kidnap you and take you to a Rocky Horror showing one of these days.

Plan 9 was a great comedic film. It's just too bad it was produced as a sci-fi drama.

Ya know, the first time around this film wasn't really good enough to warrant a sequel. I find Hoo Log's 2: Electric Bogaloo to actually be worse because it's the same rehashed plot as the first. Clearly the filmmaker would have been trying to capitalize on the commercial success of it's predecessor, except that the first film was a total flop that cost the studio. All in all, I imagine that if Ed Wood would have directed Plan 10 from Outer Space it would have been a lot like this. That is if Plan 10 from Outer Space was exactly the same as Plan 9 from Outer Space. 0/10

I guess this is just an alternative form of preemptive striking.

And you don't see Sparta at #1, do ya?

You saying your plan is for the entirety of TOP to act a meatshields for the upper ranks? Damn I hope that's not it.

Nobody accused the folks in CnG of being dummies. It didn't take much to know TOP/IRON were gearing up for action and, quite frankly, after observing some of the paranoia from TOP aimed at CnG plus the history lesson from the NoCB War, if I'm in CnG and I see TOP/IRON gearing up, I'm looking to my defenses just in case.

Just because you think somebody did something stupid doesn't equal wanting to war them or see them warred upon. /besides, the FoA thing? Yeah, it was kinda handled diplomatically before Polar started in. The insults to Grub? Yeah, it was stupid, but I don't necessarily start beating the crap out of everyone who insults me.

Desire? No, probably not. The chance to defeat those who have shown time and time again, in public and in private, that doing harm to them; yeah probably lost that.

I just laughed so hard, I spit out my bubblegum.

I think that had more to do with CnG knowing, or at least being really sure, that TOP/IRON were gonna jump 'em. Wouldn't be the first IRON blitz that got countered.

Well, the question is TOP v CnG. Not saying TOP is all "Who cares about IRON," just saying that IRON isn't part of this particular discussion.

What are you talking about Kaiser? Every night I make my wife cry so I can add her tears to my nightly cocktail. Doesn't everyone?

Basically you're saying \m/ just ruined the game for TOP and friends. I'm sure they'll be proud of that.

IF it did, TOP was kinda not too bright as to think an alliance was totally cool with you hitting a MADP partner of theirs. /just sayin'
