[quote name='Azhrei' timestamp='1326680985' post='2900588'] Yeah, I was seriously lacking in that department. Due to a shifting in trades I haven't yet been able to reach my intended trade circle, and my improvements number was in the negative. So I couldn't really get anything, and didn't intend to until the war ended. As for 30 bombers, I only ever used 2, more than that is a waste. Had fun fighting you [/quote] Wait.... you were lacking because your trades were screwed up? You mean the Spartan war machine is just as successful with internal matters?

Hi guys, I found this piece of cotton with a string attached... did any of you need it? Edit: As a point of reference... would [b]completely dominated[/b] fit better here?

[quote name='Buds The Man' timestamp='1326489037' post='2899019'] /snip/ Honestly I have no desire to do this ranking crap. /snip/ [/quote] Oooo... I think this thread has a chance! I think I might be able to rank this thread as mission accomplished..

[quote name='Lord Caparo' timestamp='1326431742' post='2898574'] You forgot the little battles like NG vs kaskus [/quote] Who?

Overall, so far I give this thread a 4.

Yay us!

[quote name='XRCatD' timestamp='1325954964' post='2894830'] /snip/ [/quote] The only way to quit (which I've attempted three times now) and to make sure you don't come back is do something that's ban-worthy. Have some fun, break the rules, get banned. Move on. Otherwise, you'll find your way back, especially if you've been here as long as some others have...

I do want to say I agree with one of the points brought up a few posts ago. I would tend to agree that Umbrella is not an elite military force. They are an elite upper tier military, but that is more of a problem to them than a compliment. Umbrella could say "We declare war on XYZ alliance." and I would giggle for two reasons. First, their targets would be limited. And second, their targets fall out of range very quickly. Then what? How elite is the force that is glaring menacingly from above while the force below dances about merrily like nothing happened?

[quote name='WorldConqueror' timestamp='1326170529' post='2896718'] Probably because this whole thing is completely subjective. Kind of hard to argue against something like that. [/quote] But subjectivity like this is the entire reason behind discussion and bickering etc. There's been a little, but not nearly enough. My entertainment factor is completely minimal at this point.

I'm not sure what I'm more saddened by. The fact that this thread has only reached 4 pages, or that there is so little bickering in it.

[quote name='Joe Stupid' timestamp='1325733634' post='2892966'] Strip club it is. See you guys there. [/quote] "Excuse me, miss? Would you mind not shaking that in front of me right now? I'm in the middle of a lengthy treaty negotiation...." *pushes glasses up nose* *gets escorted out*

I would just like to comment about the abilities of Non Grata, but I am restrained to say. Active.

[quote name='Schad' timestamp='1325921743' post='2894630'] Alternatively, what about rating alliances that one has fought against? Otherwise it just turns into a way to fluff one's allies, and while most people are liable to say that all of their opponents were terrible, there might be something worthwhile in the degree of terribleness assigned. Maybe. [/quote] I thought about that, but then no matter what type of "rating" thread goes up, there is always going to be a degree of fluffage one way or the other.. Just like every poll thread that goes up, or the awards threads. However, in this instance, I decided I'd see if the community as a whole could have a discussion about war-ability etc. Because no matter how you slice it, in ever thread full of fluffage there are always nuggets of truth to be gleaned.

Rate the Top 40 alliances based on their war ability. Feel free to sustain your opinions with facts or fiction as you see fit.

I can't believe I read this entire thread, and not one mention of NG... we need to go to war even more frequently?

Yall are bored already?

[quote name='alyster' timestamp='1324156374' post='2880683'] Half of the alliance is on the high way to bill lock and you want reps [/quote] Only deserter reps. I don't care if you let them off light when you give them peace, but deserters deserve to pay..

Where's the deserter reps? What a shame...

[quote name='Phaedron' timestamp='1324100041' post='2880336'] NG: You guys live up to your reputation via that PM I referenced above. You symbolize all that is wrong with CN, and I'd rather be perma-ZI'ed than bow to your bullying ways. [/quote] Rawr rawr and such. Because yes, it was us who forced you to roll to war... [img]http://forums.cybernations.net/public/style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif[/img] Since my current Fark target appears a bit limp in the war department, perhaps I should engage an apparatus member. I assure you, I have a very limited warchest and don't know the first thing about war. Edit: Correction on target alliance... late night brain farts.

Was a good read, sadly lacking in NG and PB though...
