Damn we had some good times.

I love you guys. Happy Independence Day.

Be careful what you wish for.

I read this thread, and all I can ask myself is... where is Athens gov when KDII needs couped again? I personally blame Londo for all of this.

Please allow me to introduce myself, I'm a man of wealth and taste. -
Tech dealing is boring. The only truly meaningful slot usage statistic is war slot usage. We are all failing miserably at that.

The way I see things, we're even now, so cheers. Making it 6 years as a community is either a huge accomplishment or a terrible timewaster, depending how you look at it. We'll go with accomplishment.
Congrats. -
I object to your offering of your shoulder to Invicta, Jgoods.

I hate you with every fiber of my being.

Does this mean you don't think green muffins would make a good GOONS member? Or that you DO?

There really needs to be some sort of intelligence test to be allowed to post on the OWF. Or reproduce.

I dunno. I like the NUTRAL BLOC idea better than tinytowne tbqh. More relevant somehow.

Caps lock may be cruise control for the cool but you still need to steer.

This is so spot on, and clever too. -
This makes perfect sense. NAAC=GR=TLR=NAAC. The bonds here date back at least 3 or 4 years; a change of alliance name does little to change such bonds that groups of players have between each other.

Perhaps you should consider joining Roquentin.

Thanks for all the love guys!
Most of the list is clueless.

Icarus you ascend too rapidly!

This pleases me greatly.

Heaven forbid I develop, act upon, and preach an ideology which results in the empowerment of alliances to do exactly what you've been whining about for over a year. I may be meeting reality with ideology, but I'm far from delusional
[/quote]
Llamas do not whine. They spit and they bite. They also continue to offer congratulations to TLR and NPO on this fine treaty. It is very shiny and we love both alliances very much.
The only political thing I remember you trying was to in anywhere near recent memory was to attempt to form a war coalition with Peggy Sue and the UPN to take down GOONS.
Acta non verba. -

Some others actually care about others regardless of their political orientation. I know it's a novel concept your kind, but it's possible and does exist.
[/quote]
Spoken to someone with his name on the original C&G treaty. Lol. Rsox was caring about unpopular people while you were wallowing in the filth of the Continuum. -
[quote name='Thrash' timestamp='1330991331' post='2934238']
You can blame LM for that.
[/quote]
LM didn't take everyone's balls and put them in a jar. They gave them to him.
[quote name='Roquentin' timestamp='1330991428' post='2934240']
Thrash: it was the best plan possible as opposed to you guys going in for an easy rolling. The issue was it took too long to get people into pm and he had RL stuff too. They basically just wanted you go all in and they could easily grind you down that way. It'd have been worse than the BiPolar outcome if no PM strat was used. The wait also allowed stuff like NSO-IRON to happen.

ITT Roquentin is incapable of understanding "war" and its outcomes fourth-dimensionally in a social and political universe. -
[quote name='Roquentin' timestamp='1330989775' post='2934217']
I don't really get that since the betrayal occurred long before I ever pulled a knife out. You sold me out, not the other way around. It takes a lot for me to turn on someone.
I argue seriously and I don't argue ironic points.
Also Londo: that's great coming from the real Don Quixote of CN.
[/quote]
What makes you think I was going to let you be [b]DON[/b] Quixote? I'm still puzzling out which one of the trinity of Schattenmann, Roquentin, and Myth gets to be Don Quixote and which gets to be Sancho. Right now I'm leaning towards Schattenmann as Don Quixote and you and Myth as Sanchos, but I'll keep an open mind. -
[quote name='Roquentin' timestamp='1330989356' post='2934208']
Can you refresh my memory? I have a lot to respond to, as you can tell, since I am taking on your entire posting squad single-handedly.

Maybe you should just consider that you have lambasted? congratulated? pooped yourself? enough over TLR and NPO's fine treaty and quit [url=http://www.heritage-history.com/books/baldwin/quixote/zpage080.gif]tilting at windmills[/url]. -
[quote name='Roquentin' timestamp='1330987696' post='2934190']
That has to be like the dumbest thing I have ever heard Londo, tbh.
[/quote]
Fortunately for me I do not derive my self-worth from your approbation or disapprobation. I know what I did, and that's all that really matters.
[quote name='Vol Navy' timestamp='1330987875' post='2934192']
That 6 day war ended up not being a particularly major world event. And I'd have to wager that it was all cleared via MK before the first shot was fired.
So I will still stand by my statement. MK has been at the forefront and seen as the voice of the coalition for the major global events of the past 3+ years from that sphere. So it's not like MK is just now doing it. It's been the case since Karma.
[/quote]
Not a major world event? You don't think that the disbandment of Frostbite and Citadel (two very powerful and influential blocs) as a result of a little 6 day war (in which your allies didn't seem to be able to defend you) was a [b]major world event[/b]? You don't think that TOP's increasing paranoia that fed into their making the mistakes they did that cost them dear and let us win the war that they made inevitable was major? You sure are hard to impress. I don't have logs from that time period, but I believe that what happened was more of a notification to MK that we *had* to hit TPF, and why. We would have sought approval for something we wanted to do that was risky and not an imperative - from all of CnG. Why? Because that is what allies do for one another. The attack on TPF was absolutely demanded by our sense of honor, and there was no question about that. The entire Athens government was fully unified. We had not been wanting to attack TPF at all, it had not been a topic of discussion, but when we were notified of the CB we felt we had no choice but to attack to defend our honor. -

The reason people say that CnG/TLR etc are vassal states to the Mushroom Kingdom is because in most every major event over the past 3+ years from that area of the treaty web Archon/The Mushroom Kingdom has been the public face and identified as the leader. That's fine and well for you when it suits your purposes. But when people outside your blocs think it's the truth you always get upset and deny it. Like it or not, DH/CnG and even PB to a large extent are viewed by a large number of players as MK toadies because MK has been at the forefront of so many of your affairs for so long.
As for the treaty, eh, I am not particularly enthralled with it to be honest.
[/quote]
Something in particular comes to mind, and that was that there was this little business of your alliance getting rolled in December of 2009.... I wonder who started that? Huh. Must have been MK.
If MK has more fully taken the limelight now, consider perhaps that this is because others no longer choose to do what it takes to participate in the limelight sharing? Hmmmmm? Because everything I've seen from MK suggests to me that MK is in fact a good team player when there is a "team".

I miss Stumpy.
[quote name='Roquentin' timestamp='1330964598' post='2933965']
Considering they proposed attacking NPO months before for !@#$% and giggles, I don't agree. At some point after that, some sort of OOC relationship formed between the active members/gov and NPO's gov. How Athens views preempts is entirely based on whether or not they like the alliance in question.
"I was for the war before I was against it." - Athens
Letum even admitted that he knew NPO was going to get rolled at some point anyway in GATO's embassy. The naivete of people here never fails to astonish me.

In the Redoubt of Mind, we have institutions at our Universities called fraternities. When someone is coming to join a fraternity, the existing fraternity members enact a period of hazing to both assess and develop the character of the inductee. Our military also does something similar. We are given to understand that this has [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hazing]sociological parallels in other universes[/url]. Do not imagine that I am so uncreative as to always intend the same thing by "war". I am more creative than that. There is a war to destroy, and there is a superior war which is intended to make your foe ONE OF YOU. The strongest warrior turns his respected enemies into comrades, and if we do not allow this to occur, the political dynamic remains identical for unending time. I regularly discussed with NPO Imperial Officers the amusing possibility of tech raiding NPO back in 2010. I have been labeled as an attack dog by many, but the truth is far more shocking. -

I appreciate your endorsement of my mission, Londo.

Lol.
[quote name='Methrage' timestamp='1330934559' post='2933777']
So what MK used to stand for back when I left FCC to fight for them during the noCB War, although a lot has changed since then.
[/quote]
Yeah a lot has changed. Every alliance has changed. The people involved have changed. The world has changed. This is life. -
[quote name='Methrage' timestamp='1330933613' post='2933764']
Them being the largest and most powerful alliance was made it a meaningful bloc at least, what happened within the bloc I don't know much about other than what could be seen from the outside.
[/quote]
No, what made it a meaningful bloc was our commitment to defending our friends no matter what the consequences were. At the time it was a novel idea. Ideas can and do change the world.
Disbandment Notification
in Alliance Announcements (IC)
Posted
Turning and turning in the widening gyre
The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
Things fall apart
The center cannot hold
Mere ANARCHY is loosed upon the world
The blood dimmed tide is loosed
And everywhere the ceremony of innocence is drowned
The best lack all conviction
While the worst are full of passionate intensity
Surely some revelation is at hand;
Surely the Second Coming is at hand;
The Second Coming! Hardly are those words out
When a vast image out of Athenian time
Troubles my sight: somewhere in Grecian lands
A shape with llama body and the head of a man,
A gaze blank and pitiless as the sun,
Is moving its slow thighs, while all about it
Reel shadows of the indignant desert birds.
The darkness drops again; but now I know
That twenty centuries
of stony sleep
Were vexed to nightmare by a rocking cradle,
And what rough beast, its hour come round at last
Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born?
