What DBDC is doing is simply revamping the way CN politics have been basically since its inception. The alliances with the most in-game warring power tend to have the most political power as well. Just because DBDC's way of gaining power (get a handful of extremely large nations) is the opposite of the traditional, large numbers, way of doing things does not mean they're "implementing their version of a hierarchical world". It simply means that they're attempting to reinvent the current hierarchy. And alliances with a high ANS have always been sway alliances in global wars. Again, they're simply doing it better than it has ever been done before.

Well dern, i had no idea i held the livelihood of 25 nations in my proverbial hands.. When you put it that way.. Lets all agree to get rid of our nukes? Seems like it would make the game more competitive and fun for nations of all sizes! edit: I must have blacked out. Is anyone in range of tymyer/has nukes?

o/ DBDC. Go away Beazy

[quote name='JoshuaR' timestamp='1323729477' post='2875695'] Also, from the map, so far Sparta is doing quite well. [/quote] If you will direct your attention to Sparta, only 22 of their top 80 nations aren't in peace mode. 9 of which are in the top 40. It's hard to destroy an alliance when most of their top tier is in peace mode.

[quote name='Hyperbad' timestamp='1305502783' post='2712438'] How would the Gramlins of old feel about this should they not be involved? [/quote] We actually spoke to Syzygy about this, and he wished us luck. He said another game takes up too much of his time to help us though.

:/ Man, this stinks. Peace out Kronos.

hey now...

Woo, now for the fun.

Also: Ninjas have no interest in Goons. Ejay is a single nation, he can voice his opinion even if I, or the Ninjas, disagree with it.

I nominate Ramirus Maximus for his outstanding performance in the Karma war, for his efforts to make Planet Bob a better and more interesting place, and for trying to ensure that there will never be a war between Gre and IRON ever again. edit: In all seriousness, i nominate HellAngel for the reasons EgWaterboy stated.

Hail! [s]Toyota[/s] Umbrella, Moving Forward!

GGA: As nearly everyone else has said, you have been the major provider of lols to CN for years, just disband. VE: You truly are evil, i can't believe I'm in an alliance that has a treaty with you. Xiph: I like that. "Unstoppable domino of fail and drama". Good work.

His levels of grammar and typing are astounding. Especially with his usage of there/they're/their and the space bar. One able to wield grammar and typing skills such as that, AND make all black sphere treaties null, while at the same time banning infrastructure raids blows my mind. I must join. Anyone know of a black sphere trade circle with slots for aluminum and water? I'd prefer a 3BR with fish and uranium. edit: grammar. another edit: apparently someone thought i was serious about needing a trade circle. I don't. Sorry. I lied.

squirtle!

o/ VE, and thanks for being great protectors! o/ Ninjas, onwards towards some sort of victory over an unsuspecting foe! also: i was ninja-stealth-reading this thread, but then realized i wouldn't be able to post unless i signed in and showed my face :/

[quote name='Ejayrazz' date='09 May 2010 - 12:15 PM' timestamp='1273421721' post='2292525'] The Ninjas have 3 [/quote] [quote name='PhysicsJunky' date='09 May 2010 - 01:19 PM' timestamp='1273425539' post='2292565'] They decided to openly ignore small alliances (with the exception of at least three barely breaking a million NS, or even under a million last round) last time around, despite the fact that some of us would fall within the top clumping. [/quote] Check it: 990k NS. Isn't that close enough to 1m to be involved? :/

[quote name='amad123' date='01 May 2010 - 06:26 PM' timestamp='1272752773' post='2283090'] Gramlins declared on IRON after IRON was already at war and outnumbered[/quote] If memory serves me correctly, we were one of the first alliances to declare on IRON. I remember attacking IRON at update of the night they declared on MK, just a few mins later. [quote]Does Gramlins really believe that a handful of large nations with huge warchest can out last hundreds of nations that collect in war mode and out of nuclear anarchy.[/quote] You know, 30 is not considered a handful. And our "large nations" are also out of anarchy, and in war mode. Your larger nations are not, though. [quote name='Jesse End' date='01 May 2010 - 10:56 PM' timestamp='1272768970' post='2283370'] If the original terms which were offered (before being withdrawn, re-offered, and withdrawn again) are now being declared by Gramlins as unofficial,[/quote] They were unofficial. Could someone please tell me where in our charter it says that an archon can offer terms? [quote]Then they want IRON and DAWN to trust them to give reasonable terms after decommissioning their entire military in an unconditional surrender?[/quote] Decommissions come after surrender, and i dont know where we said what the decommissions would be. Could you cite where someone in the conclave said what we were asking them to decom? Thanks, that would clear up a lot of this.
