Tetris is clearly gracious in victory, congratulations on the swift defeat of Legion.

[quote name='Omniscient1' timestamp='1317071996' post='2809056'] I have heard NoR is an awful alliance. How am I supposed to reconcile NoR doing a good thing, while being an awful alliance? [/quote] One could say that is is an [b]awful[/b]ly good thing to do and call it a draw?

[quote name='James Maximus' timestamp='1316971331' post='2808207'] Do the Legion doesn't consider the sharing of spied materials a valid CB? I can say with all certainty that if someone did this to my alliance Hellfire would come soon after. [/quote] Well I think we saw Legions response to the sharing of spied materials already when NSO did it, I expect the same response here.

Or stay in your own alliance and raid both Alliances A & B?

[quote name='sippyjuice' timestamp='1315197294' post='2795100'] All of Planet Bob is encouraged to be wary, as every Global war since Karma has started during one of my presidential terms. (Please prove the trend wrong!) [/quote] If you could wait until the second half of your term I'd appriciate it (rather busy this month lol) Congrats to sippy (and all the others in GDA gov) and commiserations to those of us rather enjoying the peace atm

[quote name='Haflinger' timestamp='1313247015' post='2779621'] [url="http://www.cybernations.net/nation_drill_display.asp?Nation_ID=114691"]This is the nation who apparently sent the message.[/url] AA is OT, seniority 94 days. No current wars, but he does have a pile of tech deals started with OT sellers. Looks like idiotic micro drama from here. [/quote] Does help if you actually look at the screenshot Haf (or read the logs in the OP). solomon forwarded a message he received, not sent it out himself. The nation solomon claims was sending it is this guy: http://www.cybernations.net/nation_drill_display.asp?Nation_ID=456987 who is in tLR with 5 days seniority.

[quote name='Holy Ruler' timestamp='1312719751' post='2774118'] I didnt know you could spy attack a guy in the 15 K NS range and another with 70K NS. It looks like its you who resembles Legion in your knowledge (or lack thereof) of how CN works. [/quote] I'd look to your own knowledge before questioning others. You can't spy attack someone outside your range, but you can still find out your spy odds against them (RV never claimed to have actually spied on either of those people.)

Hopefully this works out well for you Mila.

[quote name='Frozenrpg' timestamp='1312343436' post='2770719'] To add some context, that's 3.5% of population of alliances in the sanction race deleting/changing AAs. Now if we assume all of these are deletions (because I failed to see many new alliances cropping up over the last month and who the hell moves to NONE anyways) [/quote] Just to be picky, there are an awful lot of alliances outside of the sanction race already, so just because a nation is gone from the race doesn't automatically remove them from CN.

[quote name='Bob Janova' timestamp='1312121725' post='2768226'] The whole point of a treaty is as a public affirmation of how inter-alliance affairs will be conducted, and not to post them makes them in a very real sense invalid [/quote] I must have missed the part where the wiki was suddenly closed to the public.... Edit: Also, the Fark forums have all their treaties available for viewing without registering / logging in, so that's two places available to the public that the treaty was announced in.

[quote name='DrummerMike' timestamp='1312060964' post='2767816'] So recruiting from AcTi would not be considered poaching? [/quote] Batallion would probably say it was (since last I checked he's still claiming it hasn't disbanded), however what Batallion says and what is going on in the world aren't always the same thing.

[quote name='Ryan Greenberg' timestamp='1311800326' post='2765531'] So? It's not like Teddyyo is some great leader. There has to be someone else in AcTi who can lead it, right? Right? [/quote] Baby steps. 1. Teddyyo coups Bat 2. <x> coups Teddyyo 3. ???

[quote name='IYIyTh' timestamp='1311795925' post='2765488'] To be fair, you can't just declare on one member of an alliance. [/quote] But if you declare on the whole alliance, then you get pages of people crying about how cruel you are for attacking the whole alliance when their leader has $%&@ed up (see VE-GDI War.) Clearly Olympus wanted to spare us that trauma, but AcTi had to ruin it

[quote name='Lord Hershey' timestamp='1311791374' post='2765423'] Olympus is taking this way too personal, I don't see why they would escalate a war over a guy whose feelings got "hurt" by being called a tranny. I haven't seen the logs yet but this is really ridiculous and childish. [/quote] Last I checked Olympus didn't escalate a war, they [i]declared[/i] a war on Batallion, AcTi then chose to escalate it by all getting involved. I really like the people who say "I haven't seen the logs" and still think they can comment, please go read them then come back (I won't criticise if you read them, then come back and say it's stupid, that's up to you.)

[quote name='Tigerking' timestamp='1311790978' post='2765417'] I'd like to think it's better than the endless tides of anniversary threads that seem to be the main focus of this forum. And if you think one person can do something major like what is required with no support and by themselves in CN, never lose your naivete. It makes me smile. [/quote] So tides of "CN is dying" threads are better than the tides of anniversary threads? Do you know how many of these threads you'll see on a regular basis? Then factor in how many more people feel the need to post a blog about how the game is dying and what needs to be changed. Personally I would rather read the anniversary threads as they're actually celebrating something rather than just sitting and sulking that nobody else is holding their hand and playing the game the way it "should" be played (replace "should" with whether you're a tech raider, anti mico, anti large alliances, anti MDPs, anti ODPs, etc.) Would you like to show me where I said that you could do something major? At the end of the day if more people took responsibility for their own, or their alliances, enjoyment in the game then more players might actually stay here. Instead we all sit around waiting for someone else to do something that will make it interesting. On that level an individual can make a difference. Get involved in your alliance, talk to new members, help them to understand the game, actually give them a reason to stay.

[quote name='Teddyyo' timestamp='1311773354' post='2765183'] I'm pretty sure you're missing the "negotiate" bit. [/quote] Except that Olympus really have no need to negotiate. If AcTi members wanted to stay uninvolved they could have done, if AcTi members want to get out the way I'm sure Olympus will accommodate that, but I doubt they're sitting there thinking "damn, we must negotiate to get those AcTi nations out of the fight". If you want to negotiate with them, I'm sure they'll listen, but I wouldn't hold your breath waiting for them to come looking for you.

[quote name='Teddyyo' timestamp='1311772802' post='2765173'] As I said earlier, I am open to negotiations. [/quote] Somehow I doubt Olympus will feel the need to take you up on this offer. Edit: when your Emperor says: [21:22] <+Batallion[AcTi]> Use it as a casus belli, please. [21:22] <+Batallion[AcTi]> I'd love to see it. Then I don't think you can complain Olympus didn't come and talk to you about it

[quote name='IYIyTh' timestamp='1311757766' post='2765065'] Banning people who post topics like this rather than making things interesting on their own boards. Create your own drama if you can't get enough here. Srsly. [/quote] There ends the thread. If you think CN is boring/dying/in need of revitalisation/whatever else. Then stop making topics about "we must do something about it" and actually [i]do something about it.[/i]

On the one hand, it's good to see people standing behind their leader. On the other hand, why the $%&@ is Batallion your leader?

[quote name='Indian Bob' timestamp='1311436262' post='2762102'] So wait, he's apologizing for signing on with another protector before the 24 hour clock expired on his notification to AzN?[/quote] Well based off [url=http://forums.cybernations.net/index.php?showtopic=103753&view=findpost&p=2759561]this[/url] I'd say he's apologising for not issuing a notification to AzN, or telling them at all that he was planning it.

Congratulations to TTK on this milestone, hopefully many more to come in the future.

[quote name='Baldr' timestamp='1310589776' post='2755605'] http://forums.cybernations.net/index.php?showtopic=83971 Get listed in those two places, and it helps your alliance look legitimate and organized, and makes it much easier for others to contact your government if needed. [/quote] Good luck getting listed there, it hasn't been updated since March.

Fun fact, if you look at the history it tells you "whoever this is"....I for one didn't realise the Wiki admins now determined alliance acronyms, useful information to know.

[quote name='Duncan King' timestamp='1310489751' post='2754962'] It's kind of amusing seeing all these alliances hurrying up to treaty the Viking alliances so they can hide under the Viking bloc. It reminds me so much of alliances hurrying to treaty Continuum alliances to be protected from them. Congrats, you're opportunists. [/quote] Because it's not like TTK already held an MDoAP with Asgaard for nearly a year, if they wanted to be protected from Mjölnir it looks like they'd already got that set? Or possibly, ITT Duncan King talks !@#$ as usual....(remind me, how many Continuum alliances did Zenith choose to hide behind?)

[quote name='Masterfod' timestamp='1310278562' post='2753742'] ... beware of sippy [/quote] This is good advice.... Good luck to UBD in their new home.
