In my defence, I'm neutral when it comes to fatty shaming too... Trust me, it's better like that, otherwise who knows what I could come up with? (Looking at you too.) -
Spreadsheets are absolutely cool and exciting, it's only unfortunate that they're a bit addictive, otherwise I'd be freaking playing with them all day (and night). Also best wishes with your health, Velocity.

Pretty nasty RL stupidity, and later on, at times it even got worse. Now it's much better, in comparison it's a kindergarten (thank heavens!)

Back in 2010, still, the average top layer nation could fight for maybe two months before going bankrupt. Nations had new things to spend money on and they hadn't yet had five or ten years (or more) of mostly peace to save massive amounts of money for. Also, cutting a war short meant to have another chance at building yourself back to the top, whereas now two weeks of war gone wrong mean to forever be mid layer (tech wise), thus there's no incentive anymore to agree to an early peace. Getting on top with the substantial help of others (see TOP, The Grämlins and others), then building their stats on autopilot (Roq), finally exhausting their drive and dissolving, with no actual opposition and just for lack of purpose (which was ingrained in their alliance culture) isn't exactly what I'd call "truly winning". Not to mention the number of times they managed to display toxic and cringe worthy (and obtusely bigoted) off character behaviours. I don't contend that the MK/DH won in their time, and absolutely they were politically, economically and military competent, but their one wasn't that unique, ground breaking ascension or domination. Both Orders did much better than that, on all counts and more than once.

The coalition that defeated Pacifica had been possible in the first place because most of them were strongly against the forced disbandment of alliances (and EZI, viceroys etc.) As there has never been the chance of forcibly disbanding the NPO, the MK made no mistake. Besides, the laws of CN don't provide a way to forcibly disband an alliance. One with strong enough a political will to endure can't simply be disbanded, and Pacifica has never been lacking political will.

I read that as a 5 seconds difference (interval). Maybe you have/had a bookmark/browsing history entry pointing to the "pay your bills" page, you used it to log in and then accidentally clicked on the pay bills button as soon as the page loaded? I can't imagine any other way to unknowingly manually pay your bills. (That I can't imagine it doesn't mean that there can't be another one, though.)

I was going to ask why you always have to be mean with the uninvolved parties (read: me), but then I saw this: Thanks for your appreciation! That 100% is one of the few privileges that come with age... well, not really being right, and not even people thinking that I'm right, but at least... someone sometimes telling me that I'm right! 😆

Roq, Walford, NONE, LoFN (and Morgaine) in one place... my CN day is complete. Thanks! 👍

The only resource that still matters something in this old, old place is irony, and we all know who possesses it and who doesn't.

Why worry? Just go ahead and grave dig stuff. Even if you manage to irritate some mod, you could also be happy that you managed to wake them from their slumber. If that's possible at all, that's it. (Yes I'm joking. Don't grave dig stuff unless it's really interesting for others too.)

Be the drama you want to see. I'm personally perfectly ok with no drama at all, anyway. When everything is quiet, still, peaceful, then I can freely enjoy my own thoughts, really listen undisturbed to myself, enjoy my delicious company... Then I can even tolerate the odd acquaintance I may stumble upon.

Imperial Decree from the New Polar Order

Ah ah he didn't forget them, he never had them in the first place, or at least he never cared to punctuate properly... no offence meant Road! 🤗 -

I'm all for you infidels getting crushed by the Almighty (not Grub), but this was the poorest blitz ever! Embarrassing. At least the DoW was somewhat entertaining, this rookie Sponge may have some fun potential. -
If there's no day you can't miss it.

A planned shutdown wouldn't play out like this, thus this is not a planned shutdown. Everyone relax, Admin will take care of your daily login bonus, casualties, etc. Worst case, he'll have to fall back on yesterday's backup. Of course I'm kidding, this is Hell and Heaven, pleasure and pain at the same time. Use this free time you have to finally have that shower, or to eat an hot dog, to stay with your loved one(s) or... whatever. The end of the world is upon us!

Yeah, that was one giveaway. And the fingers: AI powered image generators generally get fingers wrong.

Democracy is at odds with CN's tribal mindset, which means that lasting success is harder - and thus also more rewarding! - for (non-neutral) democratic alliances. I'm looking at you, Spanish cat.

As far as you know, is this image AI generated? (It looks so.)

I'm sure Hoo too thinks that this was a good one. Thanks for the smile FL. -
Can do.

Don't feel embarrassed man, it's okay. Let's have a good manly hug. 🤗

Who doesn't like Al, anyway? I mean, look at me, even I like him. Make fun of me all you want, but when I was a toddler the Cookie Monster scared the heck out of me. I could watch, say, Space: 1999 all day with dad no problem, but that monster was more than I could handle. Now I love him, anyway.

I've been there, it's definitely one of the best places I've ever been in my life. (The night me and my Lady got mistakenly locked into the botanical garden was actually delightful.)

Wait! I thought it was the Spanish cat! Have I been fooled for all these years?!?!
