[quote name='Trekwiz' timestamp='1311805799' post='2765593'] Wait...he's joining us? I thought we were selling him to the highest bidder? Dammit. Glad to have Exodus aboard. Hopefully we can teach you guys to troll better now. ;-Þ [/quote] hear hear, I am now for sale.

[quote name='Sloane' timestamp='1311797270' post='2765506'] That was a thrill to read. You should consider writing full-time. I look forward to your future publications. [/quote] Thanks. With Exodus gone however I doubt there will be any more coming from us in CN

[quote name='Greg23' timestamp='1311790255' post='2765407'] Exodus were good treaty partners and friends to all of us in IAA. It is sad to see they are no more but I wish them good luck in NSO. Also o/ to losing 3 MDP level treaties or higher while I am in charge of FA at IAA >_> [/quote] You terrible, terrible man

[quote name='the damned' timestamp='1311729559' post='2764564'] Cool. Maybe now both of you guys wont suck so much [/quote] coming from a spartan

[quote name='King Xander the Only' timestamp='1311728765' post='2764548'] Also, a tl;dr regarding Exodus' treaties and such would have been nice. [/quote] No treaties are carried over.

[quote name='Varianz' timestamp='1311728416' post='2764535'] Exodus have been amazing allies, and we're extremely pleased to have them joining us, except for Partisan of course. NSO will be protecting the AA for 26 days. Raid them, I dare you. [/quote] I'm part of the deal

The black sky was filled with small bright stars. His eyes scanned the air mechanically, looking for that one particular point. As he stood there, at the top of the mountain his thoughts went back to that one prophetic dream. It had seemed so real... The rolling of the tanks and the faces of the soldiers were printed in his mind forever. The dream had shown his cruelties she had never seen before. Women and children slaughtered, everything. did. die. It was as if the world had lost its mind. after that, there was nothing....the world was desolate and abandoned by all. There were no more nations, no more rulers and no more alliances... Everything was gone. While his mind was still pondering over that dream, his eyes fixated on a specific point. One star that was slightly less bright than the others. If the prophecy had not spoken to his, she would never have known what it really was. The small point he focused on was a planet. "Terra" was its name. A still undiscovered planet with abundant resources. The prophecy had spoken to him about it... Hes thoughts went back to the words that were spoken to him. [i]"When the snowflake falls, the giants will awaken".[/i] What giants did the voice speak of? And what was the snowflake? [i]"From Ashes to ashes, the end is near" [/i]the voice had said. A cold chill went through Partisans spine. The prophecy foretold the end of planet bob.... The apocalypse! What else had the voice said? he tried to return to the dream. [i]"Flee to the dark side. The order shall set you free". "Prosperity is found in the shadows"[/i] It all didn't make sense! he couldn't help but return to that one point in his dream. It was an image forever craved into his memories. The image of the very mountain he was standing on, crumbling under heavy gun fire. The city beneath him burning and its citizens dying. The end was near..he had to save his people. [i]"The path continues...Your destiny is not yet fulfilled"[/i] This planet...Terra.... That was his destination. he knew what to do now! But how was he supposed to get to this other world? Suddenly an idea popped into his mind. ... Upon entering the strange building he was greeted by an acolyte of the Sith. The acolyte brought him straight to their leader, a large man with a black suit and cape that was wearing a mask. As he walked in, Partisan wondered how ugly the Sith must be to have to wear a mask at all times. he put aside his thoughts and focused on his mission. "Winter is coming", he said. "The apocalypse is accompanying it." The Sith stared at him for minutes until he finally replied: "Peace is a lie. The Sith shall protect your people." Partisan looked at the man with a glance of approval in his eyes. ... As they stepped into the spaceship supplied by their new home, Partisan and Ironchef looked at their company: A large group of both Sith and Exodians. Each of them chosen for their loyalty.[i]"It is time to being our journey to the other world."[/i] Ironchef said. "[i]We follow our path.[/i]" And so the exodus ceased to exist in this world, and began in the next.

TIO has scorponok... therefore, NOT ACCEPT.

[quote]You're wrong about this. GGA's old problems and Legion's problems with FA are quite different, probably because their IA situations are radically different. The cancellation makes the OP ... kinda tricky to discuss though. To be fair to Hymen, he wouldn't have known about it when he posted the OP. [/quote] I have no insight on legions IA. I'm basing my comments and views off of what I can see from the outside and from the outside it looks pretty dang close. You could very well be right tho.

I'm sorry to see an alliance I once was allied to fall.... Best of luck wherever y'all go!

[quote name='Trekwiz' timestamp='1310246561' post='2753464'] I guess NPO isn't the only tie they cut... [/quote] cut it out man...

[quote name='Trekwiz' timestamp='1310245540' post='2753452'] They were prosthetic. [/quote] Ah that makes sense. Ballsy move then.

[quote name='Trekwiz' timestamp='1310245436' post='2753450'] You'll be waiting a long time for that. I heard they had a castration party a couple weeks ago. They're trying to start a new fad like Tupperware and Gold parties, only they completely forgot that they weren't just supposed to host their own members if they expect to profit. [/quote] ....they had balls to begin with?

Hey look, TGE is back agai....aaaaand its gone

[i]Brilliant political move! [/i] [quote]the hateful comments generated by feelings of inferiority,[/quote] Clearly we are all inferior to the legion of the mighty peacemode warriors. I can only dream to one day gain the great political insights you are showing us here today. [u][b]fail = competence[/b][/u] keep it up, good sir.

Pitching Exodus. We're actually allied to your current (or old?) alliance -NSO-. They'll be able to tell you more about us. I'm lazy PM me if you need to know more.

[quote name='RePePe' timestamp='1309971118' post='2750451'] This week just needs a GGA reformation next. [/quote] I'm on it!

[quote name='Chalaskan' timestamp='1309927252' post='2750054'] I don't think most are discrediting it really. I think it is just that everyone knows if allies were drawn in who would win this war. And there is one particular ally that people have a keen eye on. I imagine all of Legions allies are praying they don't take a swing at NSO, while NSO has a few allies that are foaming at the mouth for one of their allies to jump into they frey so they can jump them. From what I've seen there have been a fair amount of people flat out saying this is a solid CB. Kinda like the 15 year old kid picking on another one with his 20 year old body builder brother sitting behind him smiling. I would love to see a 1v1 war, no elevation. Regardless, Legion should take a punch. [/quote] I too am kind of interested in who those allies might be. Is TPF playing a double role? No wait, i'm quite sure its Exodus. because we want NPO dead so badly

I can't help but to see many, many similiarities between your alliance right now and the GGA just prior to its final 'coup'. While your internal affairs might differ (I have no view on that) you seem to be in somewhat the same spot in your foreign affairs. I've witnessed GGA's faillure first-hand as both gov. and member and if legion does not change this !@#$ around, I foresee great faillure for you in the (near) future. I'm going to offer you some advice and I hope by god that you heed it. I've heard multiple people claim that 'the legion doesn't care what you all think, we're content with our allies etc. etc.'. Thats your first mistake. Get the whole 'it doesn't matter what the OWF/world thinks' bull&#@&% out of your brains. It DOES matter. Right now you are about as scary as a retarded 10-year old in a wheelchair. The only difference is that people wont leave you alone out of pity here since this is the internet. People mess with you because of your PR. You're losing out on possible larger members because of your PR. You're losing out on potential allies because of PR. Even your allies are suffering because of your terrible PR because their association with you reflects bad on them. You're going to have to clean up your act. Your bad PR stems partly from your lack of warchests/military prep but most of it is a stigma you're carrying around because of months and months of ridicule. New posters on the OWF tend to bandwagon to fit in. They see the world ridiculing you and as a result join the crowd. Perhaps its time to stop running around the OWF giving people opportunity to make fun of you. What you're currently doing is like jumping into a paintball game while holding up a huge neon sign with the text 'shoot me'. OFCOURSE SOMEONE WILL PULL THE DAMN TRIGGER WHEN YOU DO THAT. Get together with your government and set out a course for the legion. Make an internal plan that AT LEAST addresses your warchests and your military prep. You have plenty of resources to fund programs to accomplish that. If you have some competent people around in your gov. that should be no problem. If you manage to pull it off and put down a good or at least decent military performance in the next war it will go a long way to fix your PR too. Make this a spearhead. (you could always turn to NPO for help here. They're competent enough.) A harder task (but not impossible) will be fixing that dreaded PR of yours. Do not ignore it. It can become a huge problem. (I'd argue it already is). Get together and set out an FA plan. At least have it address your PR and ways to fix it, where you want to move legion and how to do it. Your first move in fixing your PR should be a gag-order for your general membership. As well as they may mean it, the last thing you need in your situation is a couple of contenders for the famous 'worst poster' competition running rampant. Make sure only your more charismatic/competent members can post and even if they post, make sure they do NOT respond to the bait. Once you've made sure there will be no provocation from your own members you can work on the long road to recovery. A couple of other things would help: - Whenever you want to post an announcement, save the document, unplug your computer, go do something else, return at least 30 mins from then and read it again. Think for yourself: If I wanted to ridicule legion? Would I find any material? If you're positive that its all good, post it. Can save you alot of trouble. Another idea would be to have your allies proofd-read. - when an issue comes up. Work behind the scenes. Dont come here and try to win sympathy from the OWF. So long as you carry your current stigma, there is no chance anyone other than your direct allies will side with you. Just solve the issue behind the scenes. - Show some balls. It usually generates respect. - while you have the gag-order, do your best to improve your relations with other alliances (through IRC, embassies etc.). Not just your allies or the neutrals but approach your 'opponents' too and try to slowly change the perception they have of you. (note: This will be hard, especially at first and chances are you wont be given a warm welcome. Remain calm and respectful despite any provocations.) Some people mentioned you should move away from NPO. I would advise against this. The NPO is one of the few alliances supportive of you. Do not throw that away in an attempt to 'open up new FA paths'. I know from experience that those who tell you to move away right now arent likely to take you in even if you do ditch your ally. They'll steer clear of you and you'll be alone. Many told the GGA to move away from its allies and 'become independent'. In the final coup, the new government dropped all treaties in an attempt to get away from the 'lapdog' stigma. We ended up with only two alliances willing to treaty us. Two micros at that. Keep your current allies, listen to them and heed their advise. They want to help you. If any of you ever wish, you may always contact me for advise. (This may contain some errors. Its late and i'm tired. Get over it )
