good read guys A special congrats to Espressoville on becoming Minister of Destructor Fleets (Defence)

Probably till the end I'll be 1000 days by the end of next month

I actually would You need to tell grub to use the bigger version in him next imperial decree I'm a wings loyalist too o/

Your lucky you did not see the other MHA ones, had to almost force it upon them. Most felt it would be temporary till a better one was designed This is the biggest martyr of pips though So beautiful polar, and so unused

Were you a fan of the bootprint design? I know I was disappointed that you didn't choose it as your pip

Congratulations MHA 21 nations, 1,527,081 NS, 469,931 tech and 1,894 nukes to go I have hopes

Were in the process of whipping these narbs

Good luck my fellow Härmlins, doing what's best for you. Alliances drift apart sometimes

congrats to my brothers in the MHA Just don't forget us gremlins when your up their running bob in your newly built towers Denzin would be incredibly proud of all of you

Congrats MHA, well deserved

the X-button?

That's the one

The really old pacifican one which had a choir song in it. No idea what the video was called but i'm sure someone else remembers it. I think doitzel dug it up a while ago.

Are you on about Madoverseers State of the Alliance? Or they are not counted as offical "Don't Panics"?

30.2 ...Frostbite? Have an Alliance I like, one i'm indefferent to and one i'm not so fond of. Overall opinion = 6 30.3 ...Superfriends? I only know FARK from this group but as a bloc they have lasted and would stick together so i give them props for that 30.4 ...Complaints and Grievances? If i was not in the Gre/MHA i would be in a CnG alliance. They are what i expect from a bloc. Downside is they seem dominated by MK. 30.5 ...Common Defense Treaty? This is still around? @ Hymenbreach: Your in an alliance that does not tech raid, why do you not belive/support the revenge doctrine. As if you allince has a no raiding ethos surley stopping raids would be a good thing? Sent you a PM Pray do tell. This is just the first 100 Our recent Invasion of your forums gave me this idea The world should know how badly were kick your arses LJ:

Ahhh got it thanks

One of things I wish I was able to do is get to know each and every alliance out there. To be masked a diplomat CN wide and have those in-depth Q and A sessions Grämlins are famous for. However the sheer number of alliances and time involved to undertake such an endeavour makes this difficult and almost impossible. So I have a few questions for all those alliance leaders outside the Grämlins treaty web (Gre allies are more than welcome to post though as are individual members who are not gov but wish to share their opinions ). My questions for you My personal answers for you 1. Very much in line with Grämlins and the MHA's, if I got to war and belive there was a tactical advantage by going no holes bared on nukes I would do so without a moment's thought. I properly planned and executed Nuclear update blitz would be an epic thing to behold. 2. A very simple if you nuke I will nuke, an eye for an eye. 3. Does your alliance endorse tech raiding? Yes 4. (Answer to #3) Why? Believe in the sovereign right of the member to raid as long as they keep to the guidelines. (Not allowed to raid if there are two or more people on an AA) 5. Why did your alliance choose your color? We chose Green originally because that's is the traditional colour of a Grämlin maybe? I honestly don't know. We moved to aqua for economic reasons as well as the !@#$%^&* with the UJA. 6. Are NAPs useless? Yes, as I become more in line with the Syzgy doctrine (an alliance does not need paper to defend an ally and friend) the more i see them as needless. 7. Do you believe in MADPs? (Meaning, why not just have MDoAPS just in case if you do not believe in the cause) No, Never. No alliance should have a carte blanche and expect another ally to follow them to the death regardless. 8. Do you believe in the use of sanctioning during war? While it's of limited use if it gives any sort of edge then yes, those alliances big enough to control a sphere senator should be rewarded with it's use in combat. I think admin should make senators more powerful and meaningful. 9. Can you provide me a link to your flag? Sure thing: http://images4.wikia.nocookie.net/cybernat.../c/c8/AquaX.jpg 11. What small alliances do you feel will be major political players in the long run? Currently non stick out that much in my eyes 12. Do you consider TDO neutral? Yes, but I'm not privy to stuff they have been allegedly doing. 14. Current recruitment? (Open-door? Applicant interviews? Invite-only?) Open-door, but with stringent requirements. 15. Does your alliance believe in preemptive strikes? I'd like to think we do, but in most cases we would prefer to be on the defensive IG wise but offensive on the FA front. 16. Current view concerning NPO? I think Cortath can turn them around if he can stop his members from posting. The attempted revisionism is quite pathetic and sometimes you really wonder whether they have changed at all. 17. Who are the alliances you are closest to who you do not have a treaty with? Could not say who for Gre, but when I was in MHA it would have probably been invicta. I always found it a shame we never got closer to them due to fear of spreading our treaty web even further and creating future problems for us. 18. Do you believe/support in NPO's Revenge Doctrine? Yes, I'm very anti-raiding would have pushed an Aqua Revenge Doctrine if there was more public support in the MHA. One of the best things they did in the gave even if they did it for selfish reasons. 19. Rate 1-5 (1 being lowest) for which how well your alliance has each of the following: Military, diplomacy, economical, internal organization, stability. 4, 4, 4, 4, 3. The 4's in the first couple of area are due to the fact no alliance can be perfect in them. Military wise we do no have enough nukes. I'd like to see us hit max nukes or at least take our crown back from Aircastle being the alliance with most nukes per member. We have a pitiful amount of WRC and other military wonders and our warchests are poor. Diplomacy Wise were staying in the good place were at now. My only worry is that the Gre-MK and MK-NpO treaty will be the ones conflicting in the next GW. Economical and internal could be better but as a large tech importing alliance demand is always going to outstrip supply. We seem to have stabilized out member bleed if we stay at 70 for a couple of months it will go up to a 4. 21. What are your alliance's strengths? High Avg NS, High Acitivity, Even with BobJ gone were still have a lot of moral crusaders. Tight community. 22. What are your alliance's weaknesses? For new members we can be a bit crass on our boards, tend to be seen as smarmy and up our own arses 23. What alliances do typically the majority of your alliance descend from? Starcraft forums/none 25. Alliance A declare war on Alliance B. You have MADPs with both. Morally, you agree with Alliance A and feel they have a good enough reason for attacking alliance B, how do you go about handling this situation? If the side A is going to win i'll go neutral and aid both when there finished. If Side B is going to win then i'll side with side A with the excuse that I support thier war. 26. Do you believe in Perma-ZI? For certain characters yes, 27. An alliance called The Fookheads has a MADP with The Asgards. The Asgards decide to declare war on an alliance called Icantbelieveitsnotbutter alliance. Asgards reasoning for attacking is simply because they want dominant control over the silver senate, and they feel this is the only way possible. The Fookheads, whom have an MADP with The Asgards, feel the reasoning is both unethical and illogical, thus canceling their MADP. Are The Fookheads dishonorable for standing up for what they believe in and canceling the MADP? Yes, signing an MADP means you will stick with them no matter what they do. If it was an MDoAP I would not consider them dishonourable. 30. Thoughts concerning... 30.1 ...Citadel? Awesome allies and a great community 30.2 ...Frostbite? 30.3 ...Superfriends? 30.4 ...Complaints and Grievances? 30.5 ...Common Defense Treaty? 33. Do you ever censor your members? Nope nor would I ever 34. Are coups ever justifiable? Yes 36. I respectively tell you I dislike your alliance, I feel your leaders are disrespectful who feed on power and power only. I also state I feel the general membership has no respect and constantly flame. What would your response/actions be? haters gonna hate, if any of it were true i would be investigating and trying to curb it myself. Put genrally it's a case of what is said first. 38. State the results of any wars you have been in. I was with the MHA in GWIII, caught the end of it as a new nation got involved in the mopping up = MHA + FAN victory over the Legion With the MHA in the The Unjust War = MHA and allies victory over GOONS (My targets were horribly inactive and it was quite boring) With the MHA in the Wolfpack War = MHA and Q victory over Wolfpack, nothing amazing here With the MHA in the War of the Coalition Coalition = MHA victory over NV and others, good times NV were honourable on the battlefield With the MHA in the Karma War = MHA and allies victroy over IRON, another fun war fought 3 nations all armed with nukes never loved my SDI more 44. Your members wish for a new government, they don't like it and feel a different kind would be better. What do you do? Poll to see what kind of gov they are looking for and see how preavlent the opinion is. 45. What traits make a good alliance? Honourable, Open, Frank and Honoest 46. Current Government type? Republic 47. What are your alliance's ideals? Efficiency, Honour, Military Preparedness and Quality > Quantity. Unlike our paradoxians brothers we tend to take a more moral sided approach than thier pragmatism. 48. Did you support GGA's doctrine concerning the Green team, stating an alliance needs permission from the to form on GGA and no alliances other than GPA can vote for senate? If a senator from any other team has more than 20+ votes, they will be attacked. Nope and I never did. 49. Do you believe in moral police? No, but I belive people should be held accountable for what they do. 50. What treaties do you have? 55. Do you feel you will ever be sanctioned? 56. How many members must be in an alliance before you consider them an actual alliance? 1? 5? 10? 20? 30+? 2 60. Age range most of your members are? I don't know I would guess around the 18-21 mark but there some old guys who screw the average. 61. Where do most of your members live? the US 62. What crisis's have your alliance overcome? Internal members hemoraging (recently) and the old pacific out to kill us constant threat (past) 63. (#62) Did you become weaker or stronger because of them? Yes, the remining active core are a good group 64. What were some of the most important steps your alliance have made in its history? Allways standing up for what it's belived in and not caving in under pressure. 66. What are your alliance's plans internally for the future? More tech, warchests and military wonders 67. What are your alliance's plans externally for the future? our new Preator should answer this. 68. GPA wants a MDP, do you accept? lol no, not our kind of alliance even if they dropped neutrality 69. The Hydra Clan enter a war you do not agree with, you have a MADP with them. You are seriously against it and it is against your morals, though, if you do not comply, you can be seen as traitors. What do you do? A king may move a man but the soul belongs to the man. If the alliance went ahead with it I would leave. If we dident then well our real allies would know we were not traitors. 70. What is honor? How is an alliance honorable, what makes an alliance honorable, and what makes an alliance dishonorable in your opinion? Not following throught with traties or an alliance charter would make an alliance dishnourable as well as lyiing and sending out flase propaganda. The inverse of that makes and alliance hniurable and doing what is right. 71. A GOONS member flames you, and you respond back, publicly, with harsh words as well. Who is wrong? No one, it;s all just words i'd say i was justified in my resonse should he make a big thing of it. 73. What is more benefitial in the long run, diplomacy or war experience? War Experiance 75. Which alliances would you sign an MDP with if you had free choice? NpO 76. What makes a effective fighting alliance? Good Organisation 77. In a war against a much bigger opponent against who you could not win, would you use the alliance nukes to go down fighting (to take as many of them down with us as possible - FAN style) or disband the alliance? Go down fighting but with a big enought warchest you can't be defeated , we'd never disband like that. 78. Might makes right. True or false? False 79. About the Unjust War: which side do you think was in the right, if either, and are you happy with the result? I side with side I fought on, and I never likes goons. 80. Do you think that CN politics and diplomacy bear much of a similarity to diplomacy in real life? How are they similar or different, and why do you think this is? Does the diplomacy of CN more closely resemble that of any particular time period in human history, and would you change anything about the way it is generally conducted? 81. Does the majority of your alliance sell tech or buy tech? For what price? Buy, 100 for 3M. I belive we offer a premium for those who sell more than 500 tech (it might be +1000) 82. Does the majority of your alliance buy donations or sell tech? For what price? Buy, but I don't know what the current price is 83. What was the cause of the Unjust War? (note: not the actual casus belli but the wider interrelation) 84. Do you have any ideas about where the next major tension or war might be? Yes and said it earlier 85. What do you think the effect of an alliance sanction is? Is it a good thing or a bad thing for most alliances? Bad thing as it encorages ghosts, the only benifit is the In-Game flag 90. Would your alliance ever spy on an alliance if you felt threatened? (Not in-game spying) No 91. The Fookheads have a NAP with TheMenHuggers. You have a MADP with The Fookheads, who break their NAP and attack TheMenHuggers. What do you do? Side with the Fookheads 93. You send a member 15 Million Aid. 2 weeks later, the member leaves. Do you make the member pay 15 Million back? Or more? Pay back the 15M no more no less 94. Is there such thing as respectful freedom of speech over the CN forums? Yeah 95. Should an entire alliance pay the price for one member's actions? (Non-government) If they are supported by the gov then yes 96. Should an entire alliance pay the price for one member's actions? (Government) If they are supported by the alliance then yes 97. Quality or Quantity? Quality 98. The Fookheads, who you have a MADP with, are forced to cancel all treaties to avoid war with the ILovePooNuggets Alliance. The ILovePooNuggets alliance finds a questionable cassus belli, do you help your ally even though they were forced to cancel the treaty? Yes 99. Will alliances like NADC/WTF ever do anything? Are they isolationists? no and yes 100. Your member sends aid to Mangina, who is on NPO's ZI list. (Not really, theoretical situation), who they never announced. There was no way for your alliance to know Mangina was on the list. NPO then attacks your member's nation. How do you handle this situation? What if it leads to a potential war, what will you do? Defend the member regardless Credit to Ejay for questions Can a mod move this if it's in the incorrect forum. *Shamshir gets back to work on the CN family tree

Don't it's better this way with more articles I feel. Great read as allways...now publish the internal version

This tells me all I need to know

The Order of Grämlins probably if your counting mergers,

This is just cover for TDO's plans to merge into MHA to take the #1 spot from TOP. Mostly Harmless Indeed

Scutterbug hates everyone

So is MHA now in charge of the tool curse? Seems that anyone who overtakes them ends up losing score and members

Who else had dropped them?
