As someone whose aunt and father both have cancer, keep on fighting. Don't give up and maintain a positive attitude the best you can.
Hope everything turns out for the best for you

Might doesn't make right, might makes what is. Some people think that is right, others do not. Wars happen for various reasons, this being one of them. Its happened since 2006 here, what makes you think its any difference now?
I remember reading about how NPO and the WUT was "might makes right", how they could never be defeated. 2007 came around and the WUT was shattered. Continuum was smashed in Karma, and the cycle of gathering enough strength to smash other alliances continues to this day. Its nothing new, and most alliances who are old enough have been on both sides of such events.
Really, this "debate" on Might makes Right is one of the oldest here. it isn't new or edgy, its old and many peoples opinions are swayed depending on which side they are on the current war where the "might" side is fighting the "right" side.

I won't say the Winter Soldier was better than the Dark Knight, but it was one of my favorite Marvel movies. Definately recommend seeing it, I've seen it twice and thought I got my money's worth each time.

To explain...
No, there is too much.
To sum up:
24-person cage match, winner is the last one living. Losers are...everybody else.
In the books, the contestants are chosen in boy/girl pairs by lot (although some will volunteer) from each of 12 Districts.
Alliances and perfidy ensue.
Plus Jennifer Lawrence is hawt.
So what you are saying is we need a boy/girl pair from each alliance?

That doesn't mean he was a member, it just means he had an account. I remember that night and he very clearly said he never was a \m/ember in OG \m/.

You really need to get over yourself and the past. For reasons that are none of anybody's business, I had been inactive for the last few months that I was in \m/. I barely had any role in shaping policy or anything else related to CN. You morons wanted to attack NPO in a desperate ploy to join Doom House and went so far as to try to use what few friendly relationships I had maintained between us and DH alliances to facilitate it. If you're still unable to understand what would drive me to leave that garbage alliance in spite of nearly a year of the unrivaled effort I put in to try to make it work, then you're a miserable sack of !@#$ and if I were capable of it, I would pity you.
Who is "you morons"? I know I wasn't the most active back in the day, but we never once discussed warring against NPO in the gov chan when I was there and never once mentioned it seriously on the forums in the gov area. I logged in that night and found out by reading our DOW that we were at war with NPO. The decision that night was made with such quickness. I don't disagree that some in \m/ wanted to attack NPO, but I do not recall the gov ever speaking of "hey lets join in and roll NPO" until right after the DOW was posted.
To clarify, I wasn't necessarily apposed to war with NPO then, but we never once talked about as gov.
For my part I was tired of logging in and finding we did some policy that I don't remember anyone discussing on the forums or on irc and have to defend it like I knew wtf was going on.
Anyway, it happened. I was done with sweeping in and finding out things about my alliance from the OWF instead of from our gov forums.

Now Lexxy, I dont always agree with you but when I do, your brilliant. NOW! This is awesome. Now think about this. Say a couple Umbrela Nations jump to a seperate AA and fight a war with a small alliance that is protected by Anarchy. Now while Anarchy attempts to eliminate these 20 or so nations, who by now, are not traceable to Umbrella, Umbrella and there allies are just building up everyhting, nukes, soldiers, infra tech, you name it. Now if they where smart enough to do this, they might have actually had a fighting chance in this war.
What does this have to do with the Proxy War idea of this blog?
-
There would be more war, all the proxies would be at war with each other.
The proxies, sure, but not those who actually have beef with each other. I don't think its very satisfying to not war with my enemy for 2 years without actively trying to war them.
The proxy war idea could be useful in peace time to get more wars, but in a situation where there are two sides, like this war, I don't think proxy wars are a viable alternative to hot war directly between the two sides.
Neither Umbrella nor AI would feel at all satisfied if there was a proxy war, and waiting 2 years (while proxy wars are being fought off and on) is a long time to avoid attacking your enemy.
It might aleviate some tension, and it might work in some circumstances, but this war is one of the rarer type of wars where 2 coalitions wanted to brawl it out and tension has built to where they now are brawling it out.
-
I know, the actual global war would come later. After maybe a year or two.
I don't think a cold war for 2 years and thus a global war every 2 years is a wanted alternative to 1-2 global wars per year.
If anything I'd be more supportive of more wars, not less.
-
No, I don't think that will work. Part of the buildup is people in both alliances/coalitions building a desire to attack the other for whatever reason their side is using to denounce the other with.
The reason wars are so costly now is because the destruction is just ridiculous with the advent of WRC's doubling damage modifiers and high tech nations. The length of wars also contribute to this, with a lot of alliances keeping enough cash on hand to fight for at least a month (longer for a lot of alliances, much longer for a few of alliances, ridiculously long for a minority of nations in alliances).
Part of the fun is warring after the cold war, turning the cold war hot.
While it might be interesting to see 2 sides/alliances fighting a proxy war through 2 other alliances and funding them, I don't think it would be a satisfying conclusion to a cold war. It might aleviate the boredom during the cold war, an "olypmic games" style event, but not something that should replace the inevitable war.

96k ns to around 20k last war. Was at 9500 infra 8500 or so tech, and by wars end was rebuying up to 1k infra per day and was reduced to around 2000 tech.

White peace is not surrender.
However agreeing to more terms beyond white peace is.
-
Wrong on all account actually, war wasn't declared as soon as Puppets war slots became taken, because the first round's slots were taken by non Umbrella nations. War was not declared then. When Umbrella took the defensive war slots that is when AI decided to attack. Lets be honest here, the reason for this war isn't that defensive slots were taken, its that Umbrella took defensive war slots.

Why did you become a GOONNever join the CN AA, but I joined SA because everyone else in the \m/ tri was in and I decided to see what it was all about.
-
Yes.
I supported the attack on GPA, but not the reparations agreement that ended the war. I thought it was a tad bit ludicrous at the time. Probably should have said more, but oh well. I was still pretty new to CN.
The reason I supported the attack on GPA was because of the actions GPA took against LSF. When GPA made the now-forgotten demand of 300 million in reps for allegedly stealing GPA guides, LSF was being held in eternal war by Norden Verein. NATO was trying to end the NoV-LSF war, and generally getting stonewalled. Meanwhile in the middle of all this comes Valid with a 300M demand, which just screws everything up.
Frankly I would have preferred it if NATO had just hit NoV over LSF, but that wasn't politically the Thing to Do yet. It wasn't until Slayer's hallucinations of NoV being run by guys like Heil Frech became popular that NoV came under attack.
Only 300 million?
I had thought it was more, but then again my memory is fuzzy around the time.

Uh you realize MK cancelled those treaties months ago, right?

\m/ fearing GOONS? nah, we may not be BFF's but we don't fear them, and they don't fear us.
