Walford was a founding member of CNARF (Cybernations Anti-Rogue Force or something) Basically unaligned nations who came under attack could petition CNARF to intervene and help them. It worked for a little while but it was heavily criticized by the NPO, GGA, and a few various other tech raiding alliances who accused CNARF of trying to police the world. They attacked Walford and as a result CNARF kinda fell apart.

I think it's great that there are so many new alliances. It's really made the cyberverse much more interesting. The three year long power structure was just demolished. People are exploring their new options. Most of these new alliances will fail and fall apart. Some will merge and become bigger alliances. A very very select few will live on to become respectable alliances. That's how it has always been.

Color sphere unity is good because color sphere disunity can much more easily lead to sanction wars which are generally a bad thing.

It's not a real INT announcement thread until TL trolls it. Congrats to INT and SU 07

Happy Birthday, Athens. The odds were against you guys from the beginning but you prevailed. Very impressive.

Blue Moon is incredible. IRON, you have good taste.

It is good to see that TGE is making a full recovery and taking steps to prevent the bigotry that has infected other Germanic themed alliances in the past. o7 TGE

I'm pretty similar to my RL self. I'm pretty laid back and chill most of the time. But if you piss me off long enough I will get passive aggressive on your $@!.

Democracy works in CN, and it has some notable advantages. When everybody feels like they have a say in the way the alliance is run, it encourages people to come to the alliance forums on a daily basis and participate. When I was in the ICP, it was probably as close to direct democracy as we could get. Every treaty was voted on and approved by the general membership. It gave even the lowliest new player a great insight into the way alliances (and cybernations politics in general) work. The biggest advantage is also it's biggest disadvantage. A government that is transparent and easily accessible to the general membership is also very easy pickings for spying. Nordreich spies never had a problem obtaining information. In reality, the only real purpose of a dictatorship is to make backroom diplomacy more secure from spies.

Cybernations is over everybody. Stonewall Jaxon won. Time to go home.

This is the only major war that I wasn't around for.

You have now invested a significant portion of your free time in a virtual drama simulation. Hope you enjoy it as much as we do.

You beat me to it By the way I listen to this song as my "war song" while launching aggressive ground attacks.

I fought alongside GATO in GW2 and GW3. They are a fine group of people. Their military organization was never anything spectacular but they were always a pleasure to talk with. They always treated you as an equal, even if you were in some tiny micro alliance that everybody else would have dismissed as insignificant. The new GATO looks very promising but I voted for the old GATO just for nostalgia reasons.

Don't attack Ordo Verde. Especially if they have tons of allies who you have also attacked/screwed over in the past.

Expect bad things to happen to you when you're unaligned. It's possible that he just nuked you for fun. Or to test out his arsenal on somebody who won't fight back.

Sorry bout dat mah spellin aint so grate

An alliance boils to to something very simple. Imagine you have two nations amongst many where one of them goes "Hey, if you watch my back i'll watch yours, k?" Imagine this very same idea applied on a grand scale.

FIRE was a real class act with top notch members and were great to work with. I wish you all the best of luck!

Is your sig a baby being shaved?

I can see why alliances would not take kindly to somebody mass sending recruitment messages to their members but it's impossible to say whether or not it constitutes as an aggressive act without looking at the context of the situation. Now, if somebody were to send mass PMs to an alliance membership calling their alliance a number of insulting things and then daring them to do something about it, then I can certainly see how that can be an aggressive move.

You mentioned in one of your previous posts that the recruitment messages were in "poor taste." Does this mean that you personally found them to be distasteful, or that you were observing that everybody else regards them to be in poor taste, but not you yourself? I'm not so sure that the act of sending recruitment messages itself was what many people found insulting. What seems to have ruffled the most feathers was the content of the recruitment message. Calling these alliances "weak,""pathetic," and curiously enough "impotent."Let's imagine that the PMs had been sent without any sort of recruitment message, and the message simply consisted of the insults directed towards these alliances. Would you have found that to be in poor taste?

I will admit then when I ponder the intricate web of cybernations politics, Ivan Moldavi's testicles don't generally come to mind.

In a game that so heavily revolves around the actions, politics, and reputations between alliances, you would have to wonder why anyone would make the terrible blunder of sticking their diplomatic heads in the sand and ignoring what the community of the cyberverse is saying.

What thought process lead you to decide on the name "Hymenbreach?"
