I've tried to leave the game before. Quite a few times in fact. This time is for real, I'm gone, nation deleted, etc. I'm not going to go into a long wall of text with a million shout-outs and bitter goodbyes. What I will say is that it's been fun, and I've enjoyed my time here through all the ups and downs, but I cannot think of a reason to keep playing this game. With that, I'll leave the world peacefully. No nuke rouging, no settling of old scores or any of that, just an amicable departure. Keep it classy Bob, and someone give me a ring when PB vs SF vs CnG ends the world as we know it. o/

[quote name='potato' timestamp='1286184774' post='2474105'] I'm going to take a wild guess and say "competence"? [/quote] Nah, it has to do with private servers, multi's and a whole lot of cheating, but I'll leave it to Fernando to tell you the details on that one.

[quote name='Fernando12' timestamp='1285464897' post='2464743'] I think there is a reason for some alliances being able to get things done better than others, but that's another story. [/quote] Care to share? You [i]know[/i] you want to.

Nah, Vladimir does it better.

[quote name='mythicknight' timestamp='1286161429' post='2473790'] Try again! [/quote] No dice eh? Alright, Xiph's thrown me under the bus enough times this week, I suppose he can fight his own battles...

[quote name='Reptyler' timestamp='1286160905' post='2473783'] If you were more intelligent and attacked in greater numbers, we wouldn't have this problem, now would we? I feel quite confident saying "Do something about it" to you AUT, because your idea of "doing something about it" is making whiny threads and sending 10-man AA teams at GOONS. [/quote] I [i]really[/i] hope I'm reading into this incorrectly, because it would be a shame if I wasn't. edit: specified...

[quote name='The MVP' timestamp='1286160609' post='2473781'] What can I say, I'm a slythering mudblood. [/quote] I would say that's a cute little quip you got there, but there is literally no one laughing with you...

[quote name='Ardus' timestamp='1286110606' post='2472939'] The purpose of that thread was not to stroke my own ego, but rather to offer a first-hand account of those events in history as I saw them. I think it's a shame that people don't get fuller accounts of history once enough time has passed. That I believe myself to be, as you say, awesome is a characteristic of my person independent of that thread. [/quote] VE has, I believe, a story like no other alliance on Bob. They have literally seen it all, and their history is probably the most interesting rise - fall - rise story in our verse. I would even go as far as to say that their history has been under-appreciated on a global level. One thread created by arguably one of the most important figures in the old VE isn't really something to be up in arms over...

[quote name='DarkEra97' timestamp='1286158541' post='2473744'] This deserves recognition. [/quote] If [i]that[/i] flag won, I'd love to see the other submissions.

Your flag has balls on it. Congrats!

[quote name='Bilrow' timestamp='1286128492' post='2473130'] I can't wait for the other box to be opened. [/quote] Oh you...

[quote name='Fernando12' timestamp='1286125691' post='2473081'] Ruhani, you have no more access than the next guy so quit acting like everything that happens was seen by you long ago. [/quote] Fernando, your thought process is literally too stupid for words. There was clearly internal strife going on in SF for quite some time, and the entire conversation we had on IRC which you so appropriately shared with the world highlighted this. If anyone is to blame that this piece of information is public knowledge, it's you. Seriously, go back to playing the martyr or moralist or whatever is the fad this month. [quote name='Fernando12' timestamp='1286125691' post='2473081'] FARK's departure is interesting and I hope it's only one of many moves that larger alliances make. This world needs to be stirred up. [/quote] While you sit on your high-chair philosophizing about the future, please don't kid yourself into thinking that you have [i]any[/i] idea about how things will go down in the future. You don't.

[quote name='magicninja' timestamp='1286085500' post='2472829'] There is no need for this kind of !@#$. I'm not gonna let this turn into something that you can use to goad people into war with GATO over RV. Fair warning. [/quote] Yes sir, Mr. Assembly Ch-- Wait a minute...

So was FAR out there forging its own destiny? You guys were the frontier of the new age right?

This one is tough: Is a serial killer who murders rapists a good person? And consequently: Is an alliance that maim, kill, burn's tech raiding alliances morally justifiable? Please provide detailed answers, and remember to use proper transition sentences.

[quote name='wickedj' timestamp='1286060677' post='2472558'] nah, i'd say WANA and Fernando are the maddest [/quote] That's pretty much an umbrella statement at this point.

No Ninja edit was ever submitted to our council for approval. [b]Denied.[/b]

[quote name='wickedj' timestamp='1286048516' post='2472406'] You sound mad. how about instead of leaping to conclusions you let Hoo run his alliane and you all run yours...strange concept i know [/quote] U mad?

[quote name='BloodFury' timestamp='1285991785' post='2471901'] Is this something that we really want to delve into, or is just best left alone at this point? [/quote] It started with Ej making a brave statement about how he'd die for any of his Ninja brothers and then someone turned it into a joke, saying that death is something that can be bartered with.

[quote name='Xiphosis' timestamp='1285988405' post='2471846'] I don't need Hoo to tell me who's in channels I'm in myself. [/quote] The real magic happens in channels that Hoo's in by himself.

[quote name='Denial' timestamp='1285985529' post='2471790'] It's also common practice against those who spew a whole load of rubbish. [/quote] You could start by pointing out where exactly the rubbish is, then maybe we'd have something...

Bah, this is just awesome, thanks Fernando. Maybe I was just hopeful to the point of vanity, that this time 'round things would be a bit different, but clearly my opinion has been shown.

Awwww I loved me some Corp.

[quote name='Xavii' timestamp='1285811809' post='2469076'] Suuure. [/quote] Seriously. I'm a Ninjas founder, and I've been hiding out under various AA's for the past few days. The whole point was to have sleeper nations to counter GOONS (mostly their allies) as they declared... Hardly bandwagoning...
