Did anybody actually win in this whole ordeal though? 😜

Congrats on an amicable agreement! Hope this signals an end to the Bender "sober" phase and a trend back to normal alcohol intakes and the goodwill that comes with it. o/

Cool treaty! Would love to see a graphic of those armor plated bears if it ever comes to it. 😉

This coincides very similarly to my time here. Your name also looks familiar, although admittedly my memory from that long ago is pretty fuzzy. Welcome back! Are you coming back to the game? I think you should! 😎

Knowledge, in all contexts, is power. It can be used for good or for evil. We've seen this play out on a number of regrettable occasions lately. This is an example of it being used for good and is a step in a better direction. Humility and maturity are not saving face, they're genuine qualities that should be recognized as such until proven otherwise. Failing to believe the best and acting on bitterness or vendettas are exactly how we arrived at this point and have proven, in front of everyone, why they are an unfruitful path to achieving anything at all. I pray this is not repeated by questioning motives or assuming other agendas are at play in this thread. Here's to hoping this is the bottom of the trough. o/ Thanks, TFO.

New expiration shows Thursday, June 30, 2022 here. If anyone still has issues, they should clear their cookies. 🙂 Thanks, admin! 👏

Kevin thought game would be dead by now. 🙃

This post is a great step and impressive leadership by Stewie. COBRA's acceptance of this apology would be considered even more impressive. The fact it sounds like there was a table to come to at all on this matter is a testament to cooler heads, deserved or not. There's not much else I can add to this other than I am hoping for the best possible outcome from here for everyone (in all contexts), whatever that can look like at this point. Take care and everyone get some rest tonight.

Much is different in Bob since I was last here, including the name of my home, but some things never change. ❤️

Surely it can't be coincidence that the day after I join NATO, an MDoAP with CCC is signed! It absolutely is a coincidence. I had nothing to do with it. o/ CCC It feels good to be allies again. 🥰

Have fought you guys numerous times in the past but always enjoyed the mutual respect along the way. Something tells me buying low will pay off big when this thing goes to the moon. 😎 o/ Sparta o/ NATO

Excited to continue getting to know you lot! Hails all around. o/

Late to the party, but no less enthusiastic! o/ more (better) friends 🙂

Not exactly much of a party to come back to, is it? I'm sure there have been many before me come back to visit wondering if there's any life left. Thanks for helping inform me of the reality of it all. I think I'll try being the naive one who actually gives it a go with the "you never know" attitude. Anyone who's hanging around that wants to chat can find me in the NATO discord. 🙂

An Anu sighting is definitely worth checking out. Thank you! I've applied to NATO and will see who's around for a reunion.

I made the mistake of going on CN wiki and these forums for nostalgia's sake. Now I think I'm hooked. 🙈 Nation not yet created, but pretty sure it's gonna happen really soon. 😶 Here's the million dollar question: How many friends are still around? Friends across Bob, ex-TFD allies, ex-TFD crew and NATO crew alike - speak up now or forever hold your peace!

June 1.

Big congrats to my friends over in NATO!

What is this conspiracy?! I lost again???

[quote name='wes the wise' timestamp='1349903718' post='3039569'] I see Gears is already hard at work in the FA dept. [/quote] Don't be silly. This was orchestrated whilst in my grave. Strings can still be pulled by rotting flesh! Edit: In other news... Hail o/ iLike.

According to your stats, Gopher, we lost score only in the previous update, July 28th.

Congrats, friends.

Can't say I'm surprised at all. Nevertheless, best of luck to the friendly former signatories of the Synergy bloc.

[quote name='Ardus' timestamp='1307771425' post='2729051'] I think "sides" is the wrong way to look at it. I think that, despite the spotty tensions here and there, there aren't many people in this hydra who want to formalize "sides" within or among its constituent parts. There's a goddamn world of uncertainty. People don't like to act when things are uncertain. Nobody's willing to clear things up at the risk of injuring themselves, so the morass continues. What happens is somebody shoots off over some minor thing that then blows up into a major thing and the next thing you know people are !@#$%*ing about treaties not being honored. Then we all get into coalitionism vs. literalism arguments over treaty interpretation, some people die, alliances rise, alliances fall, rinse repeat. Welcome to CN. [/quote] This. In a way. There are still some sides that have developed over the whole of CN, but in general, when talking about this cluster of the treaty web, this is basically how it occurs.

Congratulations to all parties involved. The non-peace-moders have indeed weathered some tough wars.
