[quote name='bigwoody' timestamp='1289970281' post='2515705'] This whole discussion looks like little kids fighting in a sandbox or something. Jesus, grow up. Fight a war or something if you must. [/quote] Yeah! Stop talking through your problems and fight like real alliances!

[quote name='Branimir' timestamp='1289954470' post='2515390'] Nah, man, their Prince is fine. I am just showing that as proof how they like to kinda, walk a thin line between humor and plain old insults. That is their AA's prestige. Could lead to some lines being crossed. [/quote] I for one would welcome lines being crossed/drawn/redrawn. With all the complaining of stagnation and empty insults being thrown around the one thing that we all should strive for is organized chaos.

[quote name='Branimir' timestamp='1289953750' post='2515367'] Well, I dont know. But it could be a cultural misunderstanding then. We just dont get their famous "lulz" ; [img]http://img718.imageshack.us/img718/4819/akrri.gif[/img] For example I have above what their Prince is having as an avatar in their embassy in our Grad. I guess its lulz or something. Not that original though. [/quote] The Simpsons have always been funny. I don't think you can disagree; Matt is pretty much a god of laughs. I sure hope NPO doesn't get offended at unoriginal avatars though that wouldn't be becoming of their aa's prestige.

[quote name='Charles Stuart' timestamp='1289887680' post='2514180'] Do not project your need for excitement onto other alliances, if you want something exciting to occur, do it yourself. Do not expect others to satisfy your needs. [/quote] I see someone's good at projecting their need for morals onto other people! Politics are not dead. They are stronger than ever. It's just that politics are boring and mindless jeering is what most people do for fun.

[quote name='Vanilla Napalm' timestamp='1289904251' post='2514476'] I for one find it disgusting that an alliance once thought of as integral to the Karma initiative is now engaging in such disgusting behaviour. Karma came for the NPO, and it will soon be coming for you too, NPO. [/quote] Take that NPO?

[quote name='Straylight' timestamp='1289903887' post='2514470'] X knows its made PR blunders in the past month and this is a priceless opportunity to regain that lost reputation. It's not about their hurt feelings, it's not about their morals, it's not about anything but calculated management of their image. In the past they excelled at it, now after months of their "pay up or blow up"-"do something about it" attitude... it seems transparent at best. [/quote] This just feels familiar, you know?

[quote name='iamthey' timestamp='1289903016' post='2514465'] The Mushroom Kingdom fabricates a world event and posts a thread to displace the limelight from their own person and actions, then they are called on it. In response, you roll in, attempting to displace attention from the silliness of MK's Foreign Affairs decision, and this thread's lack of a purpose by trying to kindle discussion on a six month old diplomatic upset between VE and NPO, and the origins of a two year old war. Great stuff! [/quote] I'll give you MK is silly, but this thread has great purpose and you should be ashamed for trying to derail it. Ashamed.

[quote name='Rextu' timestamp='1289895349' post='2514415'] Perhaps the talent to [i]induce[/i] much ado about nothing? In the 9 pages of this thread, how many surpass two sentences? [/quote] Mind. Blown.

[quote name='Locke' timestamp='1289894671' post='2514401'] 2.47 posts per month I was absent for 7 months or so and my ppm was higher than that when I came back. The only times I can recall active posting out of James was Karma and Popcorn War. [/quote] I'm sorry to hear that.

[quote name='James Wilson' timestamp='1289894229' post='2514390'] Your replies are comical...please continue to amuse me with your inability to pick out an attention whore. I don't post here regularly any more and haven't in quite a few months. [/quote] That's not what your post count says :3 comedy option: came back for more have ye?

[quote name='James Wilson' timestamp='1289893909' post='2514378'] I really don't know what your getting at here. If your trying to call me an attention whore, you're sadly mistaken and just plain stupid. [/quote] Just saying man you obviously have some deep-rooted problems with attention. I'm not going to delve into what may have caused said problems.

[quote name='James Wilson' timestamp='1289893455' post='2514360'] On the contrary. That was completely deserved and given the chance I would respond in the exact same manor after reading your opinions on the matter at hand. [/quote] "Please pay attention to me! Guys? GUYS?"

[quote name='James Wilson' timestamp='1289893103' post='2514348'] That comment was directed at MK, not members of the MK ass kissing squad. [/quote] That was undeserved. Please watch your mouth and be polite while discussing issues with me thanks.

[quote name='James Wilson' timestamp='1289892870' post='2514341'] Are we actually supposed to care about this or do you guys really just think you're that important... [/quote] They are just that important.

[quote name='Alterego' timestamp='1289892268' post='2514327'] There is a huge diference between one guys opinion and an official government announcement. [/quote] I value all opinions equally and therefore do not concede to your fallacious argument.

[quote name='Alterego' timestamp='1289892019' post='2514321'] Ok so you went to the OWF as an alliance and made a big deal about a minor issue of no consequence. [/quote] Stop and think to yourself, "Who is making the greatest issue out of nothing?" It's you. You're making this a big deal.

[quote name='Earogema' timestamp='1289891485' post='2514306'] Anyway, all I'm doing is discussing if this is PR or not which is pointless. [/quote] Please stop screwing with my head [img]http://cngoons.com/Board/Smileys/CN%20Emotes/psyduck.gif[/img]

[quote name='Earogema' timestamp='1289891059' post='2514295'] So what? I do not post an alliance announcement thread about that. I get some guy to post in World Affairs saying "Oh it looks like NPO hates MK." Everybody already knows that. [/quote] All I see is you stating obvious PR moves by a political giant. You really should just accept that anything said by anyone is a PR move and move on with your career. It's just too obvious you see.

[quote name='Earogema' timestamp='1289890535' post='2514273'] Well obviously that's what you would say. Nobody says "oh hey, we're doing this for PR." And it's an incident that's fairly unimportant, or at least, should be relatively unimportant. It's not really a surprise that MK doesn't like NPO considering your prince has said such multiple times. I mean, honestly speaking, a milestone thread would be of more worth than this. [/quote] You're missing the point where NPO kicked out two MK diplomats for very little provocation. If anything, this shows NPO's hatred towards MK.

[quote name='Alterego' timestamp='1289890391' post='2514264'] They surprise attack people for a 6 month old manufactured CB without attempting even one second of diplomacy. [/quote] When was this and why would you make this up?

I for one am glad MK is taking the high road here by refusing to escalate this incident. NPO you should take note of how a true hegemony handles their foreign diplomacy.

[quote name='Varianz' timestamp='1289888847' post='2514216'] An interesting effort by MK to direct people's attention to the "Evil NPO". A bit dramatic though don't you think? [/quote] NPO built itself around drama. This appears to be just an attempt to get back to its roots.

[quote name='Muddog' timestamp='1289888473' post='2514202'] So.... NPO kicked you out of their club house..... You kicked NPO out of your club house..... sounds like somebody needs a nap. Enjoy I suppose [/quote] Who? Who needs a nap?

NPO's still a former shadow of it's old self I see.
