  1. Weak topic

    come back when you can actually attack the said nation

    this is nothing but a self righteous attempt to get some public attention

    now i know why darthcyfe dislikes the public forums

    sigh

    You know, if we're not going to be doing this type of useless posturing, I don't think anyone else has much reason to either.

  2. I don't quite buy into that first part, but typically neutrality = passivity.

    Either neutral alliances truly have no opinion regarding world events, in which case there's no point being nice to them, or they have a private stance that they refuse to act upon. It doesn't seem that far a stretch to think those who don't stand up for what they believe in are lacking in assertiveness.

    Tygaland is correct. Just because an alliance is neutral doesn't mean they can or should ignore acts of war upon them. For example, I don't believe anyone would have faulted GPA (or did) for fighting back when the Continuum declared war, despite being neutral. Likewise, if TDO considers recruiting from an alliance as an act of war - which, on a personal level, I would not agree with - then there is no breach of neutrality of they were to respond as such.

  3. That is utter lies. Count Rupert, +Zeke+, and Zilla are all still around, and they know that's crap.

    01[00:32] <Master-Debater[WE]{!@#$}> im reforming BTA in a month or so

    [00:32] <SorumBeeblebrox[MHA]> WIN

    [00:32] <SorumBeeblebrox[MHA]> SO MUCH WIN

    [00:32] <SorumBeeblebrox[MHA]> I told Crush I wanted to do that xD

    [00:32] <SorumBeeblebrox[MHA]> However, the BTA is dead, and isn't coming back, and I wouldn't be surprised if TAB and ex-TAB were pissed about it.

    Nice of you to include the last line.

    That line seems totally out of place given what else you said, and now that MD is saying it was not a part of the actual conversation logs, I would question its veracity. Going from "WIN SO MUCH WIN" to "However, the BTA is dead..." seems like quite an astonishing change of heart to occur in a matter of seconds.

  4. That's like saying The Prime Minister of Australia can go and make a new country called New Australia because he can ask himself that its an "OK thing to do."

    Yep. Right.

    If you have a problem with the fact that Ivan founded the New Polar Order whilst Emperor of the NPO, then there's probably better places to bring it up than this discussion here. My point was that one cannot compare the founding of the NpO and the founding of the 'new' BTA, because they are entirely different situations. Where BTA is being founded by a former leader of BTA/TAB (?), NpO was founded by the then-current leader of NPO. I'm not sure how Australia (whatever that is!) factors into this but there you have it.

  5. Ivan Moldavi forms his own alliance. Calls it NSO. Awesome! Why? No connection to NPO - at all. If he called it the Pacific Order of Newness, would they have let it fly? Of course not. Did he get his blessing from NPO leadership to create NpO? Yes he did! Did these guys, despite the obvious connection? No!

    Incidentally, Ivan Moldavi was the Emperor of the NPO when he founded the New Polar Order, so that is entirely irrelevant.

  6. This is a bittersweet moment. Vox was something into which many of us poured our heart and soul, and I am saddened that I did not choose to live it out to the end of its days; Vox Populi is the sole reason I am still in the Cyberverse, and that is something I will never forget. Nor will I forget those early days, which are my most treasured memories of my time in the Cyberverse.

    Yet, it is still more than I ever thought to see that Vox Populi disbanded in triumphant victory; for an alliance founded with the intent of simply going out in style, what Vox Populi became was awe-inspiring.

    I will miss Vox Populi.

  7. Ok, I'm going to speculate.

    NPO promised the Penguins of NpO lots of fish, but then they warmed up the waters, and NpO started losing some of it's ice shelf, not a bad thing just a nuisance, but they kept doing it. Then finally NpO said fine, and released a ton of fresh water into NPO and screwed up the acidity killing all life in NPO.

    Okay, who leaked it <_<

  8. "not for the amusement or benefit of anyone"

    I read it. I comprehended it. Change anyone to public and I would have less of a problem with it. But as it stands there are many problems.

    There's no contradictions here, it is painfully clear and has been repeatedly repeated. Grub is recommending that you hold whatever brilliant commentary you might have because it is not going to alter the situation, enlighten anyone, or probably even hit the mark at all. At the same time, he is recognizing that you are in fact able to comment if you so desire. There's nothing contradictory here except what Grub is saying and what you think he is saying.

  9. Here, I'm going to give you the nutshell version of Karma:

    One day, some folks looked around at Planet Bob and thought, "You know? There are some things that are just wrong here."

    Day's passed, and that number of folks kept growing until they all looked around one day and realized there was enough people there to do something about those things they think are wrong in the world.

    It isn't about a particular alliance, although I will grant you there are quite a bit of old grudges that some folks want to settle. What this is about, and all it's about, is simply changing some fundamental flaws that a large number of people on the planet want to see changed. Karma isn't a group of alliances, a secret cabal, a school of political thought nor is it anything past a movement for change.

    Why, that sounds strikingly like an alliance that started out around last August or so :v:

  10. No no and no. The only way to clear up this kind of confusion is to say GWIII was the last of the 'Great Wars'. Once you start saying the Unjust War was a great war or this war is a great war, the title 'GWIV' becomes confusing because everyone has their own little definition. We have perfectly good names for them already, why do we need to take that away and just tack on a new numeral to an old and tired title every time there's a fun war?
