[/quote] Furs/Wine are used in FJ/AP/Steel which gives the best population boost (while even allowing for uranium) if done right.

Cancellations are never fun events; quite the contrary as most, if not all, of these I'm sure IRON was reluctant to severe, but sometimes for various reasons, but just like pruning a tree they sometimes need to be cut in order to help growth. I wish IRON good luck on their new path.

What a disheartening way to come back from a great weekend. Hopefully TOP will be able to recover quickly from this blow.

[quote name='Rey the Great' date='07 March 2010 - 02:31 PM' timestamp='1267994192' post='2217130'] How does a bloc as well connected as CnG ever become "generally irrelevant"? [/quote] If the war goes on long enough and other blocs surpass them... True, TOP/IRON will as well, but maybe that is a price worth paying if CnG just want harsh reps.

Maybe March Madness if it has a losers bracket and the top teams from each would compete against each other. Another possibility is that the winners would compete for 1st and 2nd and the losers bracket competes for 3rd and 4th.

Lime from MK: You went against my nation knowing you were outclassed and still fought the good fight. Congrats.

Congrats on your continued existence!

Congrats to DAWN's incoming government!

[quote name='Windsor' date='28 February 2010 - 05:39 PM' timestamp='1267400584' post='2209012'] Tech-raiding is of no exception. You are either for it, or against it. I think you'd be surprised how many anti-tech raiding alliances are out there with members that support it. Where we have all (or most of us) collectively seemed to have failed is that we began to value our nations more than our beliefs. [/quote]Not quite so black and white you paint a picture. Even people who are for tech raiding, usually have some restrictions on how it is conducted such as only on people who are X days inactive, or alliances smaller than Y, or only on an individual basis (ie no mass tech raids on an entire alliance by other alliance(s)), etc. Or maybe they're okay with it in general, but they believe that you do so at your own risk. In essence, when an alliance says we won't back you up if they retaliate, they mean it. For each person they might have different standards, but I'd argue very few are for no-holds-barred tech raiding.

[quote name='SupremePrince' date='28 February 2010 - 01:34 AM' timestamp='1267342692' post='2207933'] Congrats UPN [/quote] Congrats. Now UPN can deal with all those ghosts...i mean have the honor of being on the dropdown menu.

[quote name='My Name Is Romance' date='26 February 2010 - 09:39 PM' timestamp='1267242166' post='2205781'] We could see a purple alliance sanctioned tomorrow. [/quote] They'll be in the dropdown list. Sanctions require 10 days, which i expect they'll probably make.

Congrats NSO to a well fought war.

Good luck to Ivan, Lintwad and NSO. Hopefully the transition is smooth and you guys can get back on your feet quickly. EDIT: Personally I am torn with Ivan's resignation as I am glad he kept his word, but wish he didn't have to step down.

[quote name='Godwin' date='24 February 2010 - 12:15 AM' timestamp='1266992353' post='2200778'] Wow, depending on how this war goes, UPN might be getting a sanction soon. Purple in the top twelve for the first time since Legion got stomped, that should be interesting. [/quote] I'd say you have at least 4 days before a pass (and then there is the 10 days needed of keeping it). That means 2 more weeks of continued war putting us at 48 days for this war. That's a minimum. I expect it to be closer to 8 days before a pass putting a sanction change at 52 days in this war.

Cancelling a treaty a is never good and never easy when you have had a good relationship in the past. Best wishes to NSO.

Hope both sides have fun.

Here's to next year's b-day announcement!

[quote name='RePePe' date='20 February 2010 - 06:13 PM' timestamp='1266711185' post='2194280'] Well white peace most conservatively means status quo ante bellum. [/quote] This. Although, sometimes WP is also followed with the signage of a NAP or the understood agreement that an NAP existed for certain period of time [b]on both sides[/b]. That is the difference between this terms in CN.

[quote name='Prime minister Johns' date='20 February 2010 - 05:35 PM' timestamp='1266708915' post='2194227'] You may well say this, but let me pose a hypothetical scenario for you. A nation with a long history of accepting individual surrender terms applies for membership to your alliance. Would you not be cautious about accepting this application? After all he has abandoned his previous alliance(s) when times got tough, so he may well do the same when a similar situation arises for your alliance. [/quote]We judge every new applicant on both their merits and their flaws so it would depend on the circumstances.

Happy birthday OG! Glad you're still around.
