[quote name='Spaarlaamp' timestamp='1339157849' post='2979326'] I hate it when a DoW is implied but it turns out to be a stupid treaty. [/quote] At least it wasn't a "Declaration of Win"

[quote name='Vladimir Stukov II' timestamp='1337891957' post='2971712'] Wow Myth actually had a good post. Roll Umbrella. Roll VE. Roll GOONS. [/quote] Roll rolling.

[quote name='ShadowDragon' timestamp='1337616597' post='2970269'] That must have hurt, since that means you already have done so? Considering you were a member of the RIA for a bit and all awhile back. [/quote] Ten points to [s]gryffindor[/s] RIA

[quote name='Timberland' timestamp='1337452089' post='2969543'] once you go black baby, you never go back [/quote] Once you go green... ... you become really mean ... listen to Queen ... rent limousines ... have reduced energy/carbon footprints, and might be eligible for LEED certification ... realize you're wearing cheap gold that has high copper content. That'll teach you not to shell out for the good stuff. I'll take all that over some form of color based kidnapping, thank you very much.

[quote name='New Frontier' timestamp='1337200314' post='2968200'] "haha well you used to do something dumb!" zing [/quote] You're a bad person and should feel bad too.

Its hard to trust people whose theme is being unpredictable and crazy.

[quote name='sir pwnage' timestamp='1312221011' post='2769256'] Put that in black on a red background, throw a hammer and sickle and a few stars on there, and you'd have a pretty nice flag [/quote] And then wait for the irony fairy to come stab you.

So you set up tech deals then take some of the profits to pay the people that set them up. Gotcha.

This stopped being funny in 2007. Admin willing, by 2012 it will be a valid CB.

[quote name='Freiherr' timestamp='1310581575' post='2755520'] ODoAP [/quote] I can't believe this is an actual treaty option.

Props to DT. (correct me here if i'm wrong, seriously) I know nothing of the situation, but what I gather from the thread is that the disbandment+merger happened a while ago, and then recently some raids were launched, but DT is taking the stance of "yeah, the status of people still on the AA was kinda ambiguous so no foul, just stop" instead of going fire and brimstone. Seems very mature and reasonable, so unless my perception of the events is incorrect, I've gotta give respect where respect in due. o/ DT

I get the whole "feel proud for your disbanded alliance" thing, but I don't really see how that translates into the OP throwing around the weight of those who honor the memory of the NAAC every time his refusal to move on lands him in hot water. The way I see it, the raiders aren't raiding the NAAC, they're raiding a pile of tech and land that expects people to watch its back but with no obligation for it to watch theirs. I mean really, is the memory of the NAAC somehow bolstered by LordChozo's tech? Either way, it seems this has been decided. The OP has been living off the good graces of those who respected the NAAC since she disbanded, and like a good parasite who's host has dried up, it has found a new one - this time in the form of Tetris. See you all in, 6? months when this happens again.

In other news, my fake alliance named Al Qaeda has nothing to do with the Al Qaeda from another world. Its just a coincidence

[quote name='jerdge' timestamp='1308267061' post='2732698'] I should have sticked with AA. I was even decently active on their R&R forum ages ago, and the game - especially the stupid chat when dead - was decently funny. I'll think that one of these days I'll have to give it another try. [/quote] I picked it up again a year and a half ago or so, realized the game itself wasn't all that great and, much like CN, it was the people I played with that had kept me at it for so long.

[quote name='jerdge' timestamp='1307715417' post='2728603'] <<pompous bs about the sanctity of the IC/OOC divide and the inherent rights of the player, etc, etc>> [/quote] You know what, I can recognize that you honestly believe that in CN the character is a 100% separate entity from the player and no amount of posting from anyone is going to sway you in that belief. Back in 2007 when there was still a lot of RP going on at the OWF/Alliance level I would have agreed with you. Now? With the IC/OOC line spread so thin that the difference between an IC and OOC post is basically whether or not you refer to this whole mess as a game or as planetbob? I think we've strayed to far to leave a nice clean break between someones "IC" persona and the personality/thoughts of the person behind the keyboard. But thats me.

[quote name='D34th' timestamp='1307634413' post='2727905'] Might makes right... [/quote] There are many, many, many good examples of "might makes right" in CN. This is not one of those examples. So you're saying you are so against this term that if R&R didn't have allies you would go to war with her over it? No, you're just trying to score IC points... in an OOC forum (which is ironic, considering the thing you seem to be against is a perceived violation of the IC/OOC line) Anyways... In this case you have Keve, who was ousted by the members of UINE and R&R for personally screwing up and causing his alliance to not follow through on its commitments: This was done by Keve the player, not Keve the RP'd ruler of whateverthehellhisnationnameis - and do not try to tell me he was RPing an incompetent alliance leader. That is dumb. There are certain things people RP in CN, even at the alliance leadership level - gross incompetence is rarely one of them. So R&R took action against the player and the ruler - as it was both the player and the ruler who caused the issue - in a non-permanent fashion. Sounds fine to me.

For shame R&R, look what you have become. First you expect another alliance to follow through and pay its debts, then you install a governing process with electoral oversight? ELECTORAL OVERSIGHT? Gosh, the nerve of you people... Also, parts of the peace agreement is poorly written. Anyone with half a brain knows you're not trying to keep Keve out of gov forever by making term 5 an eternal clause - you should re-write it so thats clear. Unless you are trying to keep Keve out of government forever by making term 5 an eternal clause which impedes his ability to re-ascend to gov as outlined in term 1... in which case; for shame.

[quote name='bill95' timestamp='1307501726' post='2726559'] Your not officially an alliance. You need at least five people to be recognized as one. Why don't you just merge into a bigger alliance. [/quote] [quote name='BloodFury' timestamp='1307502729' post='2726570'] Pretty sure you do not dictate what is and isn't an alliance. [/quote] Generally speaking, an alliance is the state of being allied to someone or something. So unless the OP suffers from dissociative identity disorder; it would be awful hard to form an alliance of one person. And plus, I think we can all agree that no matter what your thoughts are on one-man AA's, this numbskull by himself does not an alliance make.

new hegemony, karma was a lie, etc etc

So... a horrible alliance with a bad leader is still a horrible alliance with a bad leader... and this fact required a horrible thread with bad posting? Gotcha.

[quote name='The Archduke' timestamp='1307336715' post='2725096'] We're in hot water, so we're gonna pretend to coup the dude you don't like until things cool off. Then he'll probably be running the alliance again. Just a heads up. [/quote] You could've just said that and saved yourself a couple hundred words. Never to early to start protecting yourself from carpal tunnel.

Large declaring on small for a small infraction, pages upon pages of one sided hailing... nope, certainly no hegemony here
