[quote name='Branimir' timestamp='1295204347' post='2577391'] Well I am glad that you are glad, though do not give me too much credit--- the fact of supporting a rogue on other alliance is globally considered not kosher and will more often then not cause a unfavorable reaction from the harmed party. [/quote] What are you going to do? Close our embassy?

[quote name='Letum' timestamp='1295200680' post='2577315'] I do not mind forum banter. I would have laughted at this had it stopped at words. But this is way beyond words: we have a [b]nuclear rogue[/b] on our Emperor, and you guys are providing a level of support for him. Don't try and play some "turnabout is fair play" card by pretending this is about title claims and ignoring the rogue you've just let off its leash. [/quote] That's the third time you've given yourself away. I feel like you're not even trying to hide the fact that you're in cohorts with the rogue. Cortath would have your head on a stick if he had the ability to get it.

[quote name='Letum' timestamp='1295200259' post='2577305'] Probably because Voytek's only going to be executing the bare minimum of attacks required to prevent war-slot filling. I'm sure you find all this air of pretence you are putting on very amusing, but it doesn't change the fact that you're providing some pretty substantial support to a nuclear rogue here. I'd be interested in seeing how close to the war button you'd be if any alliance tried to pull this kind of stuff on you guys. Seriously, if you at least had some kind of profit in this I would be able to respect it. But to go to this kind of length to fuel a rivalry is incredibly crass. [/quote] You keep using that word, "nuclear" rogue. How can you be so certain? You're trying so hard to distance yourself from the actions of Anarch, to hide your true feelings here, and yet you've slipped up twice now. Nobody could call Anarch a nuclear rogue unless they know for certain that he intends to launch nuclear weapons, and nobody could know that unless they have been collaborating with the rogue. If Cortath had any real power, I'm sure he'd make you an enemy of Pacifica.

[quote name='Letum' timestamp='1295199412' post='2577274'] Sir Paul is not supporting nuclear rogues and ensuring they can slip into peace-mode with impunity. [/quote] You're right. He just sat in a corner, hiding behind 500 other useless turtles and writing mocking PMs to Archon. That definitely counts as "less talking, more doing." Aaaand... how do you know he's a NUCLEAR rogue? No nuclear weapons have been launched by Anarch. That sounds pretty presumptuous of you... unless you've been communicating with the rogue and helping him plan his attacks! You should be ground into dust for complying with a rogue, you spineless Pacifican scum.

[quote name='Letum' timestamp='1295198539' post='2577257'] Less talking, more doing. [/quote] This advice would have been more applicable to Sir Paul.

Well, they did deserve this. Hail Anarch, Emperor of the New Pacific Order!

[quote name='SpoiL' timestamp='1295012262' post='2575020'] MK skews it yet again. Best recruitment staff, best flag, most honorable.. [/quote] We have the best flag.

That was farking wonderful. Keep up the awesome news reports.

[quote name='Cortath' timestamp='1293857801' post='2559847'] *chuckles* Your wit is as unmatched as your post is relevant to this topic. [/quote] Thanks, bro! In seriousness though, I quit the game for a couple of years out of sheer boredom when VE (my alliance at the time) was at the apex of its subservience to NPO. Sensing that the people I had trusted to help make the game interesting had lost the will to do so and were just doing whatever it took to not get themselves blown up, I went rogue on my IRL friends and didn't look back at all until a couple of months ago. By miracle of miracles, my real life actually got so boring that CN seemed interesting again. Two things I can say from my own experience: First, If not for having friends from outside the game who play, this game would do very little for me at all. Second, alliances are simultaneously the best and worst thing about this game. Buying infra, swapping improvements, and waiting for my wonder clock to expire is, without shadow of a doubt, the driest game idea ever conceived. Alliances fix this problem by creating an extra layer of global politics that would be missing otherwise. On the other hand, you must be willing to give ridiculous amounts of your time to get to a position of any kind of power in this game because of large-scale alliances. If you're not willing to keep IRC open 24 hours a day and devote your life to running an alliance, nobody is going to follow you. Even joining an alliance means signing up, regularly checking and participating in forums, and going to war over things completely outside your control or interest. And if you don't join an alliance, you're a sitting duck waiting to get raided. Sigh. Accidental rant.

[quote name='Cortath' timestamp='1293856475' post='2559837'] *chuckles* I too got involved in alliances through a raid. I was just enjoying myself, sitting on Red. An RL friend of mine got raided. I figured, what the heck, I'll help him out. Lo and behold it was FAN, and I was triple nuked by them for retaliating on the raider. Skip ahead a few years, and here I am. [/quote] Still sitting on red, twiddling your thumbs and hoping nobody notices you?

[quote name='HeroofTime55' timestamp='1293067532' post='2550765'] I meant the net income, after you take out bills. Not just what it says on the button. But whatever. I'm sure you'd like me to find myself at war with only 5 or 10 nukes on me. You're out of touch. It must be nice for your alliances, to be able to get away with only having 5 nukes. But when you're under the constant threat of war, [b]a war that cannot be won[/b], the story is different. I won't make myself a softer target for you. [/quote] If you were more likable you'd have more people in your alliance, more allies, and a better chance of winning the war. Just sayin'.

Oh. Right then.

Much love to our new treaty partners in TOP. These are great times for both of our alliances. [quote name='Bilrow' timestamp='1292729583' post='2543643'] From what I'm hearing no one is trembling, but laughing their butts off. [img]http://i51.tinypic.com/znx168.gif[/img] [/quote] I'm actually quite honored to see that when bumbling Bilrow, [s]exalted leader of the Grand Global Alliance[/s], decided to try his hand at propaganda, the best he could come up with was to deface my work. Congrats Bilrow, your talent knows no bounds. Doubly honored to see that Moo himself is sporting my signature, too. I appreciate the show of respect, guys.

[quote name='flak attack' timestamp='1292561288' post='2541539'] You're right. This is us trying to get into PB instead of simply re-signing a treaty with an alliance that's been our friend for two years now. [/quote] You weren't supposed to tell them.

To all who are saying the flags look great next to each other, I couldn't agree more. You guys flatter. Love you, FOK.

[quote name='Hyperion321' timestamp='1292280535' post='2538800'] Your shining path? So they should cancel on all the alliances that backed them for years in order to join a new bloc, only to get denied from entry and be left out in the cold? If I were Polar I wouldn't follow your path - I'm sure they wouldn't like being the sidekick to the group of people who rejected them. [/quote] You're right. We applied for BLEU and were denied. Rats! You're onto us! Your statement would make more sense if A- that had actually been what happened, and B- Polar didn't actually keep inching itself closer and closer back to the warmth and comfort of being Pacific's little spoon.

[quote name='Ardus' timestamp='1292272081' post='2538660'] This is clever. Who are you and what have you done with The MVP? [/quote] And can you do it with WANA too?

Fyfe is right- don't confuse dismissal and uncontrolled laughter with hate. I for one love this.

[quote name='Fallen Fool' timestamp='1292229258' post='2538315'] Protip: Sigs are excellent when they have succinct quotes from the people they intend to parody, not when they have the better part of a rambling paragraph you just pull out of your ass. [/quote] Noted and appreciated. I'll keep that in mind for the future, sport. Just to be clear though: Given that downright hilarious quote from your Emperor and the treaty with Legion, I am actually convinced that your government thinks in rambling Comic Sans.

[quote name='Fallen Fool' timestamp='1292228903' post='2538312'] I was actually refering to the "lolar" sentiments I've seen expressed both here, and quite profusely on IRC. Mostly from MKers, though the PB, TOP and \m/ types certainly haven't tried to hide their feelings. [/quote] Gotcha. Thanks for clearing that up.

[quote name='Fallen Fool' timestamp='1292228658' post='2538310'] *snip* This treaty...well time will tell, though I'm fairly confident it will only yield positive results for both signatories. Mostly because the most overt negative reprecussion thus far has been [b]the revealation of a long simmering hatred[/b]. [/quote] When has anyone ever been shy about letting Legion know that they're the Worst Alliance Ever?

[img]http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b306/mmeehan/randomint.png[/img] I suppose at the very least, this provides the rest of the world with something to point and laugh at.

[quote name='Rebounder' timestamp='1290759904' post='2523736'] Thank you for your well wishes. I'm going to stop arguing with NSO here. I never accused you in the OP of being the problem, simply not a part of the solution. My beef is with MK, as is yours. I suggest you show a little more support. [/quote] When even the collective bag of imbeciles over in NSO recognize that you're clearly a blathering fool, it's not looking good for your cause. Good luck in your war on us, though. Out of curiosity (I'm interested in watching you try to formulate an answer), what is it you're fighting for? Is it because we're big and bad and therefore must be stopped? Is it that we're powerful but not starting enough wars, and you're bored? I'm genuinely confused. I can't tell if you're 1) a freedom fighter trying to overthrow the oppressive regime or 2) you're just a third grader with a magnifying glass trying to kill something because you've got nothing better to do.

Welp! Without our ambassadors to Pacifica now homeless, we'd better set out to recalling them posthaste!
