Hard for me to remember... after almost 6 months of existence, the constant inhalation of ethoxyethane has made me very drowsy.

Do you think I am repeating everything you say backwards?

Haha. Yeah, Umbrella is still baffled by my logic. I'm OCD. I don't like copies and duplicates

Hello All! With optimistic and a string of warm weather where in the Black Sphere, the joys of Spring Cleaning have filled my mind. So to clean out the garage and make way for new paperwork, we announce the notification of cancellation of our Optional Defense Pact with the Dark Evolution. After reviewing our current treaties, I realized we had not one, but TWO ODP's with DE! So we will continue to share harmony with DE through the wonderful NOIR treaty and all the fun it has brought to the Black Sphere! Sometimes its so dark on our sphere, its easy to miss little things like this. But there is good news... the Dancing Monkeys are still around! While on the subject, a shout-out to all the great signatories of NOIR. NOIR's tradesmen from all different alliances have helped countless nations form solid, proper trade circles in the short time they have be around. o/ DE o/ Ether o/ NOIR

o/ Sparta! Heres to many more great years! :raises glass: (NOIR FTW!)

Free online translators FTW! If you wanna know what it says in Greek (for the most part), use this: http://www.worldlingo.com/en/products_serv...translator.html and set it to Greek --> English o/ Sparta o/ Athens

Sorry to hear about this. What a cowardly thing to do. o/DE

I never got around to adding us to this list lol. Alliance (full name, acronym): Ether Alliance Color: Black Alliance IRC Channel: #ether URL to forums: coming soon (about to change)

Lol. Thanks. Yeah, we are just shy of our 4 month anniversary (22nd)

Hello! Hello! Come in all, and sit down! :: Pans the room full of 500 empty chairs and stares at the 12 people in the doorway :: Once they finish hanging the flags, we will begin! Ah, there we go. Welcome to our first announcement in a few months. We have a laundry list of stuff to announce, so we will make it as brief as possible. First... we are proud to announce that Ether has officially moved beyond the need for a protector, as so in good friendship, DE and Ether have signed the following ODP. Second... We have a string of promotions within our 11-man alliance. Master Nick of DrunkinIrishPeople is now Ether's Vice President Plague 109 of Plague Empire is now Ether's Director of Technology Pmac627, Evey Jane, Master Nick, DougalDrake and Kharcoff are now the members of Ether's new Application Interview Council. Pmac627 is temporary chair. Third... In support of Black History Month, we have our history posted here: http://forums.cybernations.net/index.php?showtopic=47643 Now, sit back and enjoy the cookies! Summary: 1. Ether/DE ODP replaces Protectorate 2. Promotions, mainly Master Nick is new VP. 3. Check out our history and switch to the black team. Its true what they say... once you go black, you never go back! Thats cause we have the trades, tech and the rest of the spheres wish they had.

Tis the tale of Ether... a tiny, 3-bedroom republic. This tales takes us back to the small, rundown town in the darkest corners of the black sphere. It was a time of new hope for the sphere... but the light didn't shine in all corners. Pmac627 was child 9 of 13, stuffed into a small shack underneath an overpass once used to showcase the might of the GOONS army. GOONS power was beginning to crumble when such things as the Dark Vows were being signed. He ran away from home, to escape his relentless father who constantly beat him for his interests in global politics. He was too young to understand his fathers fear of reprisals from the crumbling regime. After wandering the streets for a few years, living off the scraps of others, he was invited to a growing society, an alliance known as AC/DC. His younger brother who had run away from home a year before he had, was a member and made sure he was taken care of. There Pmac met Evey Jane, an orphan from across town. They began to talk and realized they shared the same interests in politics and crayon color... black. The two played together over the years until the unthinkable happened; Crappygate. The chaos within AC/DC from that incident sparked martial law within their borders. Pmac and Evey stuck together and managed to survive and finally make a move into the politics. They stuck together, soon meeting Master Nick, a cool cat from two towns over. He was a hot shot, liked to fight and sometimes cause problems, but the three became close friends and stuck together. They moved with the masses when they migrated to BDC where they took a more active roll in global politics. They worked on promoting a Black Sphere Academy to teach those who didn't have the money. Unfortunately, the idea was overlooked as the Black Sphere was still trying to unify. Eventually, BDC hit rough seas and became unstable. Despite their instability, they managed to keep going until they finally received their final blow for supporting their friends. The three moved out of BDC just 5 days before it finally collapsed and the members merged into the Dark Evolution. Evey, Pmac and Nick decided to go elsewhere and moved into a small 3-bedroom apartment. After a month or so, they decided it was time to make their move and found their own alliance. They adopted the symbol of a Lotus to symbolize life and growth, the purpose of the alliance. Today, the alliance works hard to promote black sphere unity and drives it's members to always help others. They believe that anyone can make it to the top if they work hard enough and push for people to take hold of their own future and make the best of it. They offer support to any of their Black Sphere brothers and sisters and wish to invite those who wish for stability, good economic growth and happiness, to consider joining us on the Black sphere. A black sphere member is a black sphere member no matter their Alliance. Help continue to support Black History Month by bringing your story of growth in the Black Sphere to this thread! o/Black!

o/ BLACK TEAM!!!

o/ congrats!

Dude, this is the best version of testing. Hence Beta. With my limited programming experience, this is how I work out the kinks. It's much more efficient.

I have yet to see the impact on my bills. Could someone help this poor fool find the original post of the changes by admin?

Guys, keep in mind this is a game, and if admin made it easy for everyone to pass... yeah... Environmental issues IRL play huge impacts on population happiness and density. I think its a step toward more realism in the game. My enviro is also 2.09 right now, but I also have Communism right now, and my global radiation is 1.09. My suggestion to admin about this change. Whether or not he sees it is one thing, but the attempt is worth a try. The effects of environment should be less severe for smaller nations. As a matter of fact, the effects should be worst for those nations in the middle. Think about it this way. New nations don't make that much pollution. Its the rising nations, the rapidly growing nations that do. The older nations don't usually produce as much as these nations either. I think the effects should be based on technology levels and infrastructure levels. Example: After 2000 infra, pollution kicks in so you need like... 100 tech to combat the effects on environment. Just a suggestion. And for those of you complaining... I JUST jumped 1000 infra last night, only to wake up this morning that the extra $1mil I was calculated to make a day is now gone. I'm making just as much as I was making two days ago... and it only cost me about $100mil to reach that...

I'm Fort Pitt's older bro that he is talking about. We use the same home network and I play at school. Like he said, we do not do anything other than PM's to each other, and that has kept us alive. When tech deals go down, we make sure there is no way it could even look like we are trying to launder CN money. Aka, we are on different cycles in the BDC tech store. He has a computer, I have my laptop, and my parents have a computer. We NEVER use the same computer, EVER. Following these rules seems to have kept us alive and it works for us. I suggest for the college folk. Don't check on library computers or whatever. Use your own computer, always. I do wonder, however, if I want to make a donation to Fort Pitt's nation for his B-day or other reasons, will I get flagged?

Now this is what I can a gold star effort!
