  1. [quote name='chefjoe' timestamp='1300396063' post='2668142'] I saw the posts Ivan... Im just saying that in my opinion you are better then posting such weak jabs. Go back to your old style of few words but heavy meaning and overflowing aggression. Suits you better and is more enjoyable to watch. [/quote] I know. I was just passing the time. As you can see, the irrational comments later on made it all worthwhile from my perspective since one of my main motivations here is to simply piss people off. Maybe when I get back from vacation this conversation will be at 100 pages and still ongoing as everyone sits around and complains about the top tiers not fighting.
  2. [quote name='chefjoe' timestamp='1300394974' post='2668113'] No, trying to take shots at someone for using widely accepted slang is... [/quote] I believe you missed a few posts prior in which the opposite was the case. I only commented on his ignorant posting style because he felt the need to attempt to do so to others and myself. Regardless, I am finished with it now. It was a trivial entertainment which has lost its shine.
  3. [quote name='nippy' timestamp='1300394193' post='2668096'] No, Ivan was not correct and you're not correct. As you just stated, "this" refers to a singular instance that occurred. As I've already stated, this isn't an isolated incident...someone mocking someone's intelligence while making a humorous flaw that they neglected to adjust within said sentence. You still haven't explained your use of the word "forced", but have only provided analogies for a situation that is from fantasy world you must reside in. "Dumb" does not even begin to describe you. [/quote] I am going to have to assume English isn't your first language from this point forward because some very basic concepts seem to keep missing you. Regardless, no, I didn't think of you during lunch at all. I saw the flaw in your post and since that seems to be your "thing" I decided to comment on it. As a general rule I tend to avoid commenting on the grammar or prose of a participant because it demonstrates a lack of intelligence and a failure to competently retort. You are a success in that regard. You claim to be baiting me but my general posting style has played out over the years to pinpoint exactly this sort of scenario. You on the other hand are being one upped on the very tactic that you hold most dear (for some unknown and illogical reason) - the insulting of another posters diction. It must be sad for you to know that even in your special place I am still your superior. So, feel free to carry on. I will grant you your wish and not address your meaningless off-topic and unintelligent posting style any further.
  4. [quote name='nippy' timestamp='1300393022' post='2668068'] Under your skin much, Ivan? Wow, you were easier than I thought. Yes, one singular sentence like the one I quoted, and others like it. Imagine that...."like these" means this isn't an isolated issue. You're quite a moron, Ivan. I used to expect better from you. [/quote] You are funny. As I said, I know what you inferred, you just did so incorrectly. I can't help it if you can't "own up to" your mistakes. That's a hard life for you then.
  5. [quote name='nippy' timestamp='1300392645' post='2668062'] I love typos in sentences like these. [/quote] You mean, for example, taking one singular sentence and stating "like these" in which you reference an inferred (and grammatically incorrect) plural instead of saying "like this"? Yeah, me too.
  6. [quote name='Azaghul' timestamp='1300392408' post='2668055'] It certainly counts as posturing and inflaming a rivalry, which is what I was talking about. And it makes them less than the peaceful and innocent angels they portray themselves to be. [/quote] Indeed. So I ask again, is posturing and "inflaming a rivalry" what you would consider a valid CB going forward? Since it is apparent that it was sufficient here I believe I could extrapolate the answer but I figured I would ask just the same. If so, does this mean that you guys really are just trying to make friends and have everyone "like" like you instead of just like you or not like you or else you will give them a swirly in the gym bathroom? You guys are so cool.
  7. [quote name='mrwuss' timestamp='1300392137' post='2668047'] It has to carry our packages. [/quote] Do your "packages" hang from your rectums? Just wondering. NOTE: Not actually interested in an answer.
  8. [quote name='Chief Savage Man' timestamp='1300391602' post='2668042'] The Saint Patrick's Day Massacre (of rhetoric) [/quote] I never lost composure. Simply because I comment quickly doesn't mean I am having a fit, I just type fast. Also, why does the DH diaper look like it is sagging?
  9. [quote name='Azaghul' timestamp='1300390770' post='2668021'] Did you miss most of their posts and the content of their official publications before the war? I don't think they had a single newsletter that didn't focus on attacking us or a direct ally, and most were focused on us. [/quote] Attacking or slandering? Or are the two equivalent to your side these days? I know I fought wars over slander but I figured in the enlightened present age such things couldn't possibly happen.
  10. [quote name='King Charge' timestamp='1300389999' post='2668005'] Maybe we should all just wait for an NPO official statement back? Don't get me wrong these 32 pages of mediocrity are hilarious, but you can only get so many lulz from all these pointless insults. I'm still waiting for the first person to break out the "yo mama's so fat" bit. [/quote] Just for you: Yo mama so fat Batman uses her belly button as the bat cave.
  11. [quote name='Antonio Salovega VI' timestamp='1300389543' post='2667996'] Actually, what is asinine is NPO’s hypocrisy in general and your own hypocrisy in particular. You insist that NPO changed when it did not alter anything to the least degree. NPO initiated Karma and had its butt kicked to the curb for its troubles and yet NPO and you, its apparent chief apologist, continue to insist that it was not at fault. Post Karma, it used Sir Paul’s little one step beyond the truth rag to belittle other alliances while maintaining that it had transformed. NPO whined like a cur in heat that nobody would allow it to put its past behind while at the same time feeling no necessity to forgive and forget SethB’s reputed actions. NPO demasked foreign diplomats and closed foreign embassies all the while claiming it was trying to diplomatically mend its fences. NPO makes its self-serving apologies and you defend, without apology, your repudiation of your own apology. There is no change and NPO is getting stomped for the third time because NPO and you could not refrain from being arrogant and egotistical. You are not helping the order’s cause. I suggest that you and NPO alter course and deal with-it. If you do not, NPO is going to be an asterisk in history. [/quote] Really? The best you could do was come up with a picture and some random commentary that has already been addressed and moved past two hours ago? Good job. Perhaps it wasn't clear the other dozen or so times that it has been stated, so I will do so again, just for you: I do not speak for the New Pacific Order or any other alliance in the Cyberverse. I do not claim to hold any influence over any groups within the Cyberverse, in fact I claim quite the opposite and point out repeatedly that I am well aware that I am past my prime here and a non-factor. I do not claim to be remorseful for the sake of remorse so that emo kids like you can get your jollies. I don't care what you think of me. I have never placed any concern whatsoever in the "feelings" of my enemies. You are my enemy for a reason, so why should I care about you? I am arrogant and egotistical to the nth degree. I don't apologize for that either. I have maintained my same persona for nearly a decade in these realms and have no need to change it now. Again, I do not care what you think of me. The fact that you feel the need to address me at all only speaks to your own deficiencies and insecurities. I have no guns. I have no soldiers. I have no tanks. I am a complete non-entity. And yet when I make valid points I can't get people to respond to them, instead they feel they need to attack my persona (and in some cases go outside the realms of the Cyberverse to do so) because they are ridiculously underprepared for even the most germane comment from someone like myself. Regardless of all of this, my own actions have no bearing on the position of the New Pacific Order or the position of the NPO's diplomatic actions. To equate myself with Pacifica is an error. I once was the Order, but now I am just me, even if that ideological position has never shifted. The fact that I can say that definitively and without reservation should speak more to the changes that have taken place within the culture of Pacifica more so than any diplomatic envoy could ever convey.
  12. [quote name='nippy' timestamp='1300385726' post='2667908'] It's funny, because with a tiny bit of prodding, one can make the great Ivan Moldavi go from whining about ad hominem attacks to an entire beautiful melody of ad hominem within just one page! Reading is your friend, too, Ivan....as is writing and ability to communicate with your mouth. Those are all friends of yours. What isn't your friend is your tendency to slip into your own little 'no u' mode. Upon your claim that all points made by our 'side' are invalid, you removed any possible form of actual debate and turned this puppy into a bicker-fest. Settle down, maybe have a beer or two, and try again. Maybe rational, coherent arguments will come to you afterward. [/quote] Really? You did just see where I stated that I am only commenting on your tripe out of boredom, right? Also, earlier in the thread (there is that reading thing again) I also stated that I never claim to be above personal attacks. Anyone that believes so is mistaken. I simply clarified that my personal attacks also include actual points. I made several valid points. You could not counter. You therefore decided to attack (erroneously) my grammar, I responded and so on, but the point remains - I had points, you did not. You have failed on every level in this short exchange. Now I am going to go and have lunch with some people and the Cyberverse will not be a topic of conversation. I highly doubt that at any point during my meal a light will go off in my head that will magically make any of the nonsense you have posted an actual "rational, coherent argument". But who knows, Admin works in mysterious ways.
  13. [quote name='Maelstrom Vortex' timestamp='1300385569' post='2667900'] I just find it entertaining you exhausted our enemies arguments so much they're having to attack your prose directly instead of the ideas contained by the prose. Pretty remarkable. Total losers. [/quote] And I'm out of practice. It is a damned shame I will be offline for the next ten days or so after tomorrow. If I had a steady stream of !@#$%^&* for a few days I would really be able to bring back The Moldavi Show. Oh well.
  14. [quote name='Maelstrom Vortex' timestamp='1300385287' post='2667895'] When people make up their own statistics and behave like children, they shall be treated as such. Also, Ivan, just ignore him.. this thread is not about grammar. [/quote] I know. I have nothing better to do at the moment so I will entertain the ignorant masses with my feats of typing long sentences in a single bound.
  15. [quote name='nippy' timestamp='1300385136' post='2667889'] Fixed that for ya, buddy. See what you're becoming, NPO? SEE? [/quote] What is a "ya"? Sounds ignorant.
  16. [quote name='nippy' timestamp='1300384866' post='2667878'] Your sentence was a run-on. I find it sad that you're unable to recognize that and own up to it. I failed to address anything of significance with my post because there was nothing of significance in the post I was responding to. You claimed quite clearly that nothing we say is of value, that our arguments are invalid. Right back at you, pilgrim. [/quote] Actually, no. That isn't correct on any count. I have had several ongoing dialogues with those from your side within this thread in which I have discussed the issues and sought clarity. What you are spewing now is just tripe and idiocy, but not unexpected. Reading is your friend. That is all I was trying to convey to you. Obviously such an easy task is above you and that is fine. Please continue to post from a position of ignorance, it amuses me (and several others evidently). I pointed out that the point you attempted to make, after side stepping the point I [i]did[/i] make (because you obviously could not formulate a valid or even coherent response), has already been discussed [i]ad nauseum[/i] within this topic and your position has been found lacking. If you have something new to provide the gallery that will shift that perception, then feel free to bring it forth, otherwise you are just playing "no you" which only highlights that you are truly out of your depth altogether. Anyway, cool story bro. Feel free to continue to spout on, "pilgrim".
  17. [quote name='nippy' timestamp='1300384411' post='2667867'] That's quite a run-on sentence there, Ivan. You can start up three of the worst alliances in Bob's history, but can't master proper formatting. You've apparently resorted to that same old NPO tactic of using the 'your arguments are pointless', which is sad. Since you belong to three alliances, I'd prefer if you'd take an NSO approach to this thread and actually attempt to be humorous. I know that's not your bag, but it does help add to the decorum when you're still attempting to appear relevant. [/quote] Really? I am the one saying an argument is pointless while pointing out that there is a long sentence (not a run-on btw, just because it was more complicated than what you might be used to doesn't make it incorrect) and including a random [i]ad hominem[/i] that everyone knows is idiocy? No, I don't think so. Should I go back and critique those grammatical gems you have been posting up over the last few days just for kicks as well? *rollseyes* You failed to address anything of significance with your post so I will assume that my point remains valid since my post actually included one.
  18. [quote name='neneko' timestamp='1300383964' post='2667854'] Karma was a war to stop npo. The promises of a world without any evil and any surrender terms were words put in our mouth by the opposition. We didn't engage in that war to become a world police that would rid the world of any evil, we have no right to do that in the first place. We wanted to stop npo and we did just that. Have you really chanted the propaganda from the karma war so much that you actually think you didn't make it up or is it just used again now that it once more fits your purpose?[/quote] Actually, if you go back and take a look at it, I was not in the best graces of NPO at the time of Karma and was not a party to their propaganda. I was however allied to a number of alliances within Karma and indeed fought and shed blood on that side of the arena, albeit far removed from Pacifica's front by design, and I was a party to the dialogue that was going on within the command forums housed by Sparta. I know what the agenda was purposed as being for the smaller alliances and nothing that I have stated is inaccurate.
  19. [quote name='Sardonic' timestamp='1300383934' post='2667852'] If you refuse to make amends for the past then you shouldn't be surprised that people want to kill you. It has nothing to do with freedom or independence or any lofty ideal like that, it's just a matter of people who hate you taking an opening. You want to reject the world? That's fine, but don't expect the world to forget and forgive without impetus. [/quote] I have never asked for forgiveness for any of my actions from anyone outside of the Orders and I never will. I do not state that you can't have your war, I simply state that you are a hypocrite in the manner about which you go about it. If you hate someone and want to go to war with them because of it, good for you. Then do it boldly and proudly. Don't hide behind some sham of a CB or create a coalition and spout on and on about injustice and atrocities. Just do it. Everything must die indeed. So why bother with proposing peace at all?
  20. [quote name='nippy' timestamp='1300383735' post='2667847'] I guess you will somehow attempt to claim that the oh-so-wonderful Pacifica hasn't been hiding in peace mode over the past two months while a 'vast collective effort' of mediocre alliances has attempted to counter our 'lesser alliance' and have been surrendering to us, one by one? Of course you wouldn't attempt that. It would be ridiculous. [/quote] Ah, sidestep, nice move. *rollseyes* The fact, as has been elucidated upon several times within this very thread (good job reading up btw) is that the percentage of nations within the NPO in PM is roughly equivalent to the percentage in MK and that such arguments from your side are pointless because the fallacy of your logic is easily dissected and put on display for all to see, as has also been accomplished several times within this very thread (did I mention how good a job you have done reading up?).
  21. [quote name='Ivan Moldavi' timestamp='1300380743' post='2667818'] I am just curious, because I have not seen them posted anywhere else, what exactly are your objectives in this war? [/quote] Anyone from the opposing side?
  22. [quote name='nippy' timestamp='1300383135' post='2667841'] o Moldavi. [/quote] Indeed. I guess you will somehow attempt to claim that even though the only time Pacifica has ever been beaten it was through a vast collective effort of mediocre alliances but that somehow those alliances individually were superior to the Order? Of course you wouldn't attempt that. It would be ridiculous.
  23. [quote name='Sardonic' timestamp='1300382316' post='2667833'] It's this kind of attitude that leads to situations like the one NPO is in now, and should leave no question as to why they are where they are now. Perhaps if NPO had "given a damn" about the people they wronged then they wouldn't be in this situation. [/quote] First, I think you are correct. My attitude directly led to a lot of NPO's problems with the lesser alliances such as yours historically. I do not apologize for my hubris. Second, it also points out the validity of my position entirely. I have no official say in NPO affairs. I haven't for "generations" now. The fact that people like myself, a warmonger !@#$%^& that would split you open and eat your children without batting an eye, are not the sort that are currently in control within Pacifica highlights the changes that have taken place over the years. Regardless of that, no alliance should ever, under any circumstances, be forced to convey "feelings" of concern towards another alliance, especially once terms have ended. I don't give a damn about you or your alliance and I never will, I certainly can hope that the NPO maintains at least that portion of its cultural heritage to say the same. No amount of bullying or posturing on your end will change that. Independence of thought is on trial in the Cyberverse these days. The idea that you have to care about what others think about you before you act independently, even if your actions have no bearing at all on the other party, is absurd. You want the NPO to like you and all they could do was check the maybe box. So sad.
  24. [quote name='neneko' timestamp='1300381319' post='2667826'] This 'point' brought up once again and once again I think I going to have to leave without a answer to what this ill defined past is that haunts us. Seriously if you people are going to use this as a party line can't you humor me with a answer so it seems like at least you think it's a valid point and not something you made up yourself. [/quote] What answer is that? That Karma was initiated (and indeed named) as an attempt to stop the injustice of the great and horrible NPO in their ongoing oppression of the Cyberverse? That the imposing of restrictive peace terms and calls for disbandment and attempts to hold alliances in perpetual wars was so inhumane that you had to act in the interests of the smaller alliances of the Cyberverse and set yourselves up as martyrs and heroes for the befuddled masses? You mean things like that? Issues that fly directly in the face of hubris filled comments like the OP in which terms that are more or less equivalent to "fight the war our way right now or face war forever" are included? Okay.
  25. [quote name='Sardonic' timestamp='1300380848' post='2667820'] The reps in Karma were not case to give them a blank slate, they are not entitled to have people's opinions of them reset to factory standards just because they paid money to get out of a war. If NPO wanted to change people's opinions of them they needed reformat their franco-centric worldview and engage in diplomacy. For whatever reason they were too proud to apologize to the people they wronged, and don't give me that "you wanted them to lick your boots" crap, diplomacy in no way has to be degrading to one of the parties, especially if it is conducted in peacetime. To NPO's credit, I do see inklings of them moving in the right direction. It is my hope that they take the deal and after all is said and done, they can begin to improve themselves. [/quote] First, diplomacy does not equate to apologizing for differences of opinion. Second, once terms end in any given conflict then there is no precedent for any form of ongoing diplomatic relations between the prior victor and the defeated. At no point was anyone in NPO beholden to MK or GOONS or anyone else to be friendly to them or to give a damn about their opinions of them. The NPO maintained diplomatic silence for a long period of time, even though it was truly unnecessary and evidently ineffective, in order to appease your side from Karma. The hubris and bravado that once accompanied (and in fact defined) every single government proclamation from the NPO has all but ceased to exist. In many ways the Pacifican culture, as an outward expression to the ignorant masses, was truncated by the loss in Karma. To state that NPO didn't change while holding up a banner that supports direct hypocritical actions on your part is asinine.
