[quote name='Locke' timestamp='1326026330' post='2895656'] Alright MK, worst case scenario for you here: the awards are completely biased and you don't win a single award. [i]Why do you care?[/i] Whoopie-freakin'-do.[/quote] For the same reason we care about anything else in this !@#$%* game. The whole point is to post on forums and IRC and get worked up over stuff that if you sat back and thought about it objectively wouldn't bother you one bit. That this is an OOC forum doesn't change that it's just one more game related thing for us to talk about and enjoy, whether that discussion is about how awesome we are for dominating the awards or about how terrible the current pollmaster is for setting up a polling scheme where people can vote as many times as they like, and then lies saying that gdocs gives him the ability to view IPs which he's using to keep people from rigging the polls. It's hugely ironic, things were changed because MK was accused of rigging polls in the past, but the changes make it far easier for us to rig it if we want to. There's a whole long list of innactive neutrals whose nation names we could use to vote for ourselves if we cared that much. But instead I think for the most part we just want a fair poll like was done in the past. If people don't want MK winning everything in a fair poll then they should get their own alliances to vote more. We only have 140 members, in a community that is 10x that size, it shouldn't be possible for us to rig anything in a one vote per account poll.

The best part about this poll is at the end we know the results will be 100% meaningless because Smurf will be picking and choosing which votes he thinks are legitimate. And no, I didn't bother voting. I'll wait til someone starts the polls up for real.

I left the NPO.

[quote name='Gibsonator21' timestamp='1325654249' post='2892011'] I've got it down that you outnumber the other side roughly 1.7 to 1 NS. Edit: That's total, not a single front. [/quote] Is that using current NS or pre-war NS? Because if it's current that would explain the discrepancy.

[quote name='total perspective vortex' timestamp='1325623862' post='2891627'] But have you really fought against MHA? The declaration was about ghostbusting, and it seems many of you did exactly that. Therefore, you missed out on the fun, the real members were on the playground with ODN and allies. It might be worth considering the possibility that you are forming an image of MHA based on a flawed research. You were late to the party, the fun folks were drunk already. Sure, we are not an incredible war machine. But the accumulated damage done to the 11 vs our 5 shows that this wasn't the walkover some here like to believe it was. Yes, you won the war. Clearly. Most of my opponents, ODN & MK, have been classy and respectfull. Thumbs up for them. It is such a shame that this isn't always reflected in the comments made over here. To improve your research, ask about the experiences of your members who were declared upon by MHA members. If that still shows we were nothing but punching balls, then I will shut up. [/quote] As far as my research can tell, there were under a dozen real MHA members. If there were in fact more, they were indistinguishable from the ghosts in terms of fighting ability.

I don't see the point of harassing MHA about leaving the war so early. They lost more score in this war than the vast majority of alliances possess. They were in the war for only a short time, but they actually fought as opposed to sitting in peace mode waiting for war to end like many large alliances do when the war hammer falls. If more alliances followed this example, leaving after 3 weeks of war would be acceptable practice. Their real problem is that I am using the term 'fighting' very loosely. We have had a LOT of members whom after attacked respond with "Why are you attacking me? I didn't do anything to you!", who clearly weren't even aware a war was going on. Add to that the general lack of aptitude (hi there, let's send 15-50 bombers on one aircraft attack), and coordination among the membership, and you have an alliance whose fighting capabilities are so amazingly laughable we will be joking about this for years to come. tl;dr: Focus on how bad MHA was, not how long they stayed in the war. They took more damage in their 3 weeks than most alliances do in 3 months, I figure they deserve the out, but that just highlights how unbelievably terrible they are.

[quote name='NoFish' timestamp='1324156005' post='2880679'] Psh. I bet Ardus wrote it for him. [/quote] Close. Ardus wrote another post that was nearly as lazy as Archon's and suggested we post that. But Archon's pride required him to write his own lazy post. [quote]I was around. I saw your revival from the ashes of LUE; your emergence into power politics after UJP; your rise to the voice of Karma; and finally your metamorphosis into what you once despised. Karma's a wheel, Archon. [/quote] So who wants to list everything wrong with this post?

The far more interesting question arising from this topic is how many people actually were in #mha to have this conversation? We'll start the over/under at 20.

[quote name='Ninja gumby' timestamp='1324011696' post='2879580'] nice to know ODN and GATO got cold feet and couldnt take it anymore. suck my nukes [/quote] Too many ghosts, too little time. When there's over 400 ghosts to take care of, it doesn't matter how much they suck individually, you need a lot of people to get it done in a manageable timeframe.

[quote name='ROMMELHSQ' timestamp='1324011282' post='2879560'] MHA must have offered MK a lot of tech to take the ghost-busting contract. I'm sure MK will do a fine job. [/quote] I'm sure the terms of the contract will be released upon the completion of our ghost busting project. edit: [quote]Here's hoping for another successful tech raid, well one that lasts longer than 20 hours. [/quote] No successful tech raid lasts over 20 hours. If you go over 20 hours, you get nuked and it is no longer profitable, making it a really bad tech raid. This however is ghost busting, which is similar in nature, but lasts longer. The profit in this comes at the end from collecting on our ghost busting contract.

[quote name='Avakael' timestamp='1324011088' post='2879550'] The ghosts have been pretty resistant thus far, how many members has MHA actually dropped? [/quote] Not enough, our allies while formidable in open warfare are not accustomed to taking care of ghosts. It's okay though, because I brought the special equipment, things should progress much faster with it: [img]http://www.studiocreations.com/howto/gb_protonpack/images/gbpp_june2007_front.jpg[/img]

[quote name='bakamitai' timestamp='1324010998' post='2879547'] Cheers, MK. I hope MHA is grateful for all your efforts to eradicate their ghost problems. [/quote] Sadly I think the cheers from the real MHA will be drowned out by the cries of the ghosts who claim to be MHA on the forums.

[quote name='Floatsam' timestamp='1324010865' post='2879539'] So much hate for one small alliance. It's got to go somewhere I guess. [/quote] No, you misunderstand. There is no hate for the small alliance known as MHA. However, the 12million NS and 400 members worth of ghosts your alliance has we do have a problem with. If you are a genuine MHA member you have nothing to fear from us.

Who you gonna call?

rofl this is hilarious. I literally can't believe that just happened. But since it has, let's take bets on how long before CSN attempts to surrender again? Anyone think they'll make it a full 24 hours this time?

[quote name='Emperor Marx' timestamp='1323487902' post='2871634'] I'm digging the [url=http://www.cybernations.net/nation_drill_display.asp?Nation_ID=189605]first POW[/url]. [/quote] Wow look at his bio: "RL emergency - have to sit this one out. Hopefully I'll be back soon to drop some mushroom stamps... " If that guy comes back and actually declares war, I hope he realizes he's going to be ZIed/ZTed.

[quote name='Pingu' timestamp='1323477207' post='2871434'] They do tend to bite and scratch. Also, they smell funny. [/quote] Woah now, that sounds like you're judging us all based on a bad experience with Quinny.

[quote name='Pingu' timestamp='1323475019' post='2871389'] In the case of MK, 'diverse community' is a euphemism for 'sackful of ferrets.' Just one of the many things that makes them so lovable. [/quote] What pingu is getting at is we're like ferrets in the sack.

[quote name='Ivan V' timestamp='1323408944' post='2870450'] Was he a Minister of War? [/quote] I have no idea. I don't even know the guy's name. Hopefully someone closer to it posts here to clarify.

So from what I hear MHA has already had a 150k NS nation surrender. Can I just say XFD?

[quote name='Gairyuki' timestamp='1323405571' post='2870225'] Manderly, bro. !@#$@#$ Manderly. [/quote] Oh man I forgot about Manderly. Second biggest badass of the book.

[quote name='Ninja Colt' timestamp='1323405410' post='2870197'] mha will outdo fark's losses imo [/quote] I think it'll be a close race, but you're right. Who wants to start a betting pool on how long until MHA passes FARK in total losses? My money is on day 8.

Okay, I'll admit it. That's probably the best DoW I've seen in a long time.

[quote name='Proest' timestamp='1323394062' post='2869955'] In case you have failed to realize: Umbrella is allied to our alliance. If Doomhouse did decide to do so, they'd be doing it without Umbrella. [/quote] You realize your ally is now an ODP that failed to be dissolved entirely by a single vote. You put a lot of trust on a very fragile tie.
