I came here from FacePunch during the very first FacePunch cybernations topic all the way back in November of 2006. That one obviously wasn't as successful as this one has been, apparently.

I suppose that is more than what can be said about some others, for whom this has become like a second job (or their job even). They spend so much time worrying about their alliance's growth and survival that they've forgotten how to have fun. They get together in little security nets with others that prevent anything interesting from happening. NPO and Co. was guilty of it, and now Karma is. You had the opportunity to change the way the game is played. You had a chance to truly, and dramatically, alter the power structure, instead of simply changing the face of it. You had the chance to do so much, but once the NPO was removed you decided the job was done. Really, no matter how you put it you people truly are no fun. You don't even know the meaning of the word. You are unimaginative and unoriginal. I do hope the NPO returns. They made a terrific antagonist. As I have said many times, Cyber Nations is a game. You need to play a game against an opponent, since a game you play by yourself really is quite the bore. You also want a good opponent. Tell me, do you think a world class soccer team wants to play against some small county's youth league? Not really. It would be slaughtering the same team over and over, always knowing the results. That's not fun because there is no challenge, and the result is always certain. But that is what the NPO wanted, and what I criticized the government for doing then because it did kill the game. I suggested letting the old Aegis/League rebound and get a shot. Or maybe not, and turn on our allies instead. Give us a new team to play against. One that was fresh. And like the NPO back then, Karma is resistant to that idea. For that reason you do not deserve to be on top. It has always been a belief of mine that those on top have the responsibility of keeping the community fresh, or at the very least not prevent others from doing so. Although I have been critical of Grub's action in the last war, I do appreciate his at least doing something to shake things up. Stir the pot. That is more than others have done. Unfortunately he made some errors that rendered his efforts futile and only strengthened the grip of the boring on this world by putting any potential competitors at even more of a disadvantage. But never the less what Grub tried to do is what this game needs more of. NPO did contribute to the decline of the game since the end of GWIII. I am sure all of you Karma folks can agree on that, but what you refuse to acknowledge is that you're doing the same thing. Not through unbalanced matches, in which the victory of one was always certain, but through the fact you do nothing at all. You give nobody, other than former enemies, a reason to want to take you down. And quite frankly you should. You should try to play the bad guy so that someone else can be the good guy. Do some injustice. Do some unspeakable evil. And I do not mean that in jest. You won't though. You do not want to risk losing your power and security. I wouldn't expect anything more of you, however. You people always were unworthy of having power not because you abuse it but because you don't use it at all. So like it or not, NPO's contributions to the game's decline are in the past. For the moment they are innocent. It is your fault now, and you are the ones to blame. You've had plenty of time to do something interesting. What is your excuse for failure?[/color] [/quote] So the reason why you hate those who you now believe "rule" planet bob, is because they aren't bad enough guys? Sounds like you're going out of your way looking for new enemies.

^^^Hey that's my avatar Very nice.

So this is like CNARF 2.0? This idea is like 4 years old. It didn't work back then either.

[quote name='Lord Brendan' date='28 March 2010 - 06:31 PM' timestamp='1269829886' post='2239712'] Grub: I promise not to honor my treaties with C&G. TOP: You seem like a trustworthy guy. We will make an incredibly risky gamble based on your promise. I still don't get it. [/quote] It still has me scratching my head. TOP based their entire sneak attack on CnG off of the premise that NpO would betray their allies.

[quote name='silentkiller' date='27 March 2010 - 04:31 AM' timestamp='1269693079' post='2238217'] Congratulations, would you like a medal now? [/quote] Is that an offer?

At the very least, that I got you to lower yourself off that high horse long enough to mention my name is good enough for me.

I'd say it's a close call between Prodigal_Chieftain, Ivan Moldavi, Electron Sponge, Rebel Virginia, Jack Diorno, and the entire membership body of the NSO.

[quote name='youwish959' date='18 March 2010 - 10:17 PM' timestamp='1268979414' post='2230079'] (Regarding iFOK) No kidding, at least we are our own alliance, not some runoff backwards $@! [/quote] Yeah it's a good thing that the New Sith Order was a totally original alliance idea and not based on any previous existing alliance(s).

Awesome Congrats GATO, I can't think of an alliance that deserves to be sanctioned more than you guys do, considering what you have endured.

TOP is the CN equivalent of somebody who punches a guy in the nose and then refuses to pay for his medical bills

[quote name='Haflinger' date='28 February 2010 - 12:45 PM' timestamp='1267390146' post='2208764'] They hated you guys for opposing heavy terms for Hegemony alliances during the Karma War. [/quote] Yeah that's pretty unlikely. I'd think it would be more something like: TOP has been around since 2006 and despite always being a relatively small alliance, they had connections to big powerful alliances and got to join in on the winning side of just about every war since then, all the while collecting obscene amounts of tech.

Personally I think Cheladas are gross as hell. I couldn't take more than two sips of the stuff. I guess you'd have to be a bloody mary fan to like it.
