    This made me smile.

    I watched it, I'm happy I did, I don't feel the need to watch it again though. Is it good or bad?

    Thank you. Organized spamming another group's off game resource with any kind of material purposely designed to offend is stupid and bad form. Then there's the really nasty stuff, which is different from people joining what they perceive as an occasion for fun and humour, but the latter can degenerate into the former, it's skating on thin ice. (I don't know what happened in this case.) How about people always remain kind and considerate off game? Wild idea, I know.

    What does a discord server raid look like?

    I like it when people's posts validate the idea I have of them. Classy, Lyanna. 👍

    Yearly reminder that most alliances routinely did and do whatever they think they can get away with. I comprehend the need to justify an alliance's actions and I understand people challenging their adversaries' narration, however only up to a certain point. The idea behind all of this is to enjoy the best you can get out of the dynamics of this world, it comes the point where the e-lawyering has to stop not to become perversion - be it said to all the parties involved.

    Since you don't appear to be in any war or conflict, either individually or as an alliance, I can do it. It's a pleasure to help you, Stewie, you make CN better.

    I am almost a boomer, it's just appropriate. Seriously, we had stagnation and no turnover of alliances/people in power for years on end. All we had were glorified raids, jaded attitude, no standards, not even lulz, just apathy. The only exceptions were conflicts between micros. This war seems different, we'll see whether the difference will last or quickly fade.

    You of all people promoting pixel hugging? This is a sign the world is about to end. (I do remember something about a certain "nuke rogue" at the beginning of times... 😜)

    He's not ancient as you but he's not new either. TBQF your posts are generally better. Anyone with no character can follow the orders they already agree with, it instead takes someone with a spine to bite the bullet and obey to orders from the legitimate authority, that they like them or not. I've been ordered in Peace Mode in the past. It sucks, but orders are orders.

    Thank you and hi. I had known a couple of "Azure" in CN and I wasn't sure. But I remember you (the "GPA one"), once we had an extremely interesting conversation about Pacifica as an hegemonic power (pre-Karma) and their need to politically justify their role (and power). We weren't that much in agreement, which is a big part of the reasons I learnt a lot from you. It's nice to see you're still around. In short: interactions happen, either you try govern them, or they govern you. Also, it's fun and engaging. (Well, it used to, when there was depth in FA and the political landscape was challenging and interesting.)

    Good points. 1) Star systems with some big planets can capture external objects, and it seems that such systems are all but uncommon. It's still not "likely" but, in our potentially billion years long scenario with a low energy projectile, it's entirely possible. It depends on the direction you initially aim towards (the centre of the galaxy is one thing, intergalactic space is entirely another thing, etc.) 2) I had never heard of the CMB as a rest reference, I'm intrigued. 3) At rest relative to the cloud and basically indistinguishable from the cloud itself. In other words, "captured" by the cloud?

    Talking of getting old, I'm not anymore sure where I met you before...

    A variety of things may contribute to alter its trajectory but, as Kap said, any encounter is highly unlikely (some more than others). In millions and billions and tens or hundreds billion years it will eventually meet something it will become a satellite of, or which will drastically change its course and/or state, maybe even destroying its form. If that never happens, its matter will slowly evaporate and it will become scattered atoms randomly distributed in a very vast volume of space. I'll also add that it doesn't make sense to talk of a full stop, as there's no universal frame of reference. It won't "stop" with respect to its hypothetical starting point - the Earth - either, as this last is constantly moving around too (and it will anyway be destroyed, at the latest, when our star will become a red giant, a few billion years down the road).

    This made me smile. Have fun, everyone involved.

    With all due respect, TBB could have written a couple dozen books on the subject of CN trolling well before the most of us had heard of CN at all. He's not above criticism, but you probably have to choose another subject entirely. Technical issues coupled with personal issues of our forum admin. They'll be up again at some point in the future. However they've been dead for literally years before they went down.

    Machiabelly and Warrior Concept, wow, these are names I had forgotten, @W_A_R. Thanks for sharing your memories. Next time I'll be involved in a battle I'll make sure to mention my first real brawl, with Matt Miller... He had twice my tech and then times my ability, the only reason he didn't wipe the floor with poor me was that he had to handle multiple engagements at once. Great fellow and gracious he was with me, kindness indeed is precious and should not be underestimated.

    Or many organized raids: you make your coordinated attacks and get the attacking casualties, the defender then accepts peace (more seldom turtles/fights back). Incidentally, why people still keep soldiers in peace time is beyond me, they just open up the nation to raids.
  19. jerdge
    Point taken.

    You meant resurrecting, waking up is not enough. The GPA was very active, much more military prepared, much better armed during Karma, and without hesitation she decided that past grudges with Pacifica were, well, past. Attacking anyone just because there's a good occasion would be totally out of the Alliance's character. This even if we hadn't a NAP with the Doomsphere (although, admittedly, it doesn't cover CLAWS). The GPA, or whatever half dead remains of her are still here, will strictly, unwaveringly adhere to her ideals and values until the lights go off. I can Discord very well, I just don't want to/have no time for it. Job, family, I'm too busy. See above. I agree that this DoW is wonderfully written, well done, Sirs. Even our Viceroy can't change the nature of the GPA, sorry.

    People might have small treasuries for a variety of reasons, some of which absolutely very valid. I for one have expensive habits...

    Why exactly is it bad to be like Myth? I had my issues with him, mind you, I even put him under accusation when I was a MHA Justice. But I still think that he had his qualities. (I'm not implying that DA is bad either, it's that it seems like you think he/his attitude is.)
  23. jerdge
    It seemed like it was something you held against them. Thank you for having clarified.
  24. jerdge
    Why exactly is it bad to be led by a teenaged girl?
  25. jerdge
    I don't care about the declaration, but if it's necessary to have this kind of humor, then so be it. Still love you, Hitchhikers.
