Congrats NATO and Anu Drake

[quote name='ChairmanHal' date='07 July 2010 - 09:35 PM' timestamp='1278552927' post='2362972'] Some links of interest... http://forums.cybernations.net/index.php?showtopic=875 <--- interesting stats http://forums.cybernations.net/index.php?showtopic=1025 <--- perhaps the last official WUT announcement http://forums.cybernations.net/index.php?showtopic=1078 <--- GOONS apologizing for participating Ultimately the collapse of the Initiative set off a chain reaction that didn't end until very recent times. I have mixed feelings about the Initiative, some good memories, a few not good at all. It was an era of abuse as well as being a "grand empire". I have no desire to go back there unless someone has a spare time machine so that I can convince a few people to change their mind about some decisions they were about to make. [/quote] The Ring Cycle! BLEU Damn those were the days

I wish I was more involved with politics back in the day instead of just attacking whoever my superiors told me to. Everything was so much easier back then. The treaty web was actually readable. The two opposing sides in a war were nearly equal in strength, War was very common, Raiding was alot easier, and there were plenty of rogues. I felt a stronger sense of comraderie in those days as opposed to now.

[quote name='Caliph' date='06 July 2010 - 02:18 AM' timestamp='1278397086' post='2360916'] In all fairness, Legion is hardly the first alliance to get ridiculed for following their treaties. I remember plenty of people on both sides of the Unjust War ridiculing everyone who enterred on their opposing side, even if it was enterring via direct treaties, and I am sure there are plenty of other examples of alliances getting ridiculed for honoring their treaties prior to the Unjust War, I just wasn't around much prior to then to see it first hand. You've gone through your tough spots, so has MK, and so have plenty of other alliances, some deserving it, some not, but its history and cannot be changed. We can only look to the future and decide how we will act today. Congrats on the sanction Legion! Lets see how long you guys keep it. [/quote] That's the first sensible thing I've heard in this thread.

lol @ "NUKING OUR ALLIANCE IS BANNED" An interesting read

[quote name='Emperor Marx' date='06 July 2010 - 09:14 PM' timestamp='1278465263' post='2361880'] You couldn't have dug through your recordings to find a good Chron Laugh sequence, Penkala? I am disappointed. [/quote] I really wanted to hear it too I admit the Newsletter had me interested in the beginning but the whole being butt hurt about NSO thing turned me off.

[quote name='magicninja' date='07 July 2010 - 10:11 AM' timestamp='1278511850' post='2362386'] Where to begin....... About 7-8 months ago, a short time after GATO was released from it's viceroy, GATO begin exploring a relationship with NpO. AlmightyGrub came to our forums to express his feelings for GATO. To make a long story short he basically told us to go $%&@ ourselves and said we were NPO puppets. I raaaggggeeeddd. Hard. I said some things in that thread and since about Grub that were probably unwarranted. It turns out I really didn't understand where Grub's animosity was coming from. I joined GATO and the world in June of 2007. That was months after GWIII and just after GATO had finished paying reps. I have since read about GWIII but it was mostly from GATO's perspective and I confess I never did seek out any real details of what went down. It turns out GATO peaced out of that war without ever telling NAAC and possibly other allies that came to her defense that it was doing so. That is completely unacceptable. What makes it worse is some good alliances disbanded because of that war. GATO wasn't one of them. So, it turns out I was wrong in assuming Grub had no real reason to hate on GATO. I'd be pissed off as well. So I was wrong to say the things I did over the last year. I didn't fully understand the situation. For that I apologize. I also apologize to ex-NAAC for the actions of GATO's gov in that era. What they did was complete !@#$%^&* and we'll have to live with what they did forever. I just want to point out that today's GATO is not that GATO. Our current leaders would never allow such an abomination to occur. We barely have any links to that era today. We have a fair few that were around and while I can't speak for them I'm sure they would agree that the actions of the GATO government were atrocious. Something like that is pretty much unforgivable. I know it can't mean much coming from someone who wasn't even there at the time but for what it is worth I'm sorry. magicninja GATO GA member and a guy who needs to lrn2CNhistory before he opens his mouth in the future [/quote] It's noble to apologize for something that you weren't involved in but not really neccesary. Especially after what Polar pulled in the last war. What they did was alot worse than what your comrades did years ago. [quote name='Jeeooh' date='07 July 2010 - 10:22 AM' timestamp='1278512516' post='2362396'] Your alliance is a joke and that you still need to apologize for these things further reinforces that image. [/quote] That's uncalled for. I fail to see how this makes GATO look like a joke in any way. [quote name='Chief Savage Man' date='07 July 2010 - 11:02 AM' timestamp='1278514914' post='2362424'] You have either an eidetic memory or a rather clear conscience to have something as old as this weighing on your mind. I just assume amnesty after a three month period (it usually doesn't work). [/quote] That's honorable of you.

Anu Drake still lives!!! o/ NATO

[quote name='Alfred von Tirpitz' date='02 July 2010 - 12:07 AM' timestamp='1278043628' post='2357398'] Sooner, that last line in your post is a major downer. I hope it does not come down to that. [/quote] It is but I see no reason for them to go on. Their membership has been decimated, Their reputation has been shot, It would seem that they are in violation of their own charter, IRON is slowly inching toward their top tier nations, and last but not least, thier leader is an egomaniac. If all of the so called "honorable" Gremlins are long gone then they really don't have a leg left to stand on. This is quite possibly the worst case of self destruction Ive ever seen.

[quote name='zzzptm' date='30 June 2010 - 02:26 PM' timestamp='1277922396' post='2355414'] Understanding Ramirus is simple: He would like everyone around him to be bound by the strictest interpretations of moral and ethical rules so he can go about being Machiavellian. My question is this: If the membership of Grämlins goes below 15 members, does that make them a valid tech raid target? [/quote] If you're willing to go through MHA then yes

All aboard the fail boat!!!

[quote name='TOLWYN' date='29 June 2010 - 12:41 PM' timestamp='1277829649' post='2354036'] HAHA. THIS IS THE BEST PURPLE HAS TO OFFER FOR THEIR SANCTIONED ALLIANCE? MY UNDERSTANDING OF THE INFERIOR SPHERES GROWS GREATER. [/quote] My understanding of people who speak in Caps lock has greatly expanded also.

At this point IRON could probably "Suicide Charge* them without take obscene damage but I still wouldn't recommend it.

[quote name='SynthFG' date='19 June 2010 - 09:40 AM' timestamp='1276954799' post='2342846'] Apart from there was no coalition there were some informal questions between blocks and alliances as to if a happens what will you do, but nothing was set in stone There was never at any point a formal coalition or anything that can be described as a unified command structure [/quote] Not having a unified command structure does not stop you from coming to their aid.

[quote name='amad123' date='18 June 2010 - 12:22 PM' timestamp='1276878158' post='2341966'] Guess which alliance has only [size="6"][b]26 [/b][/size]members now? [/quote] At this rate Gre will be defeated by the first quater of next year!!!

[quote name='Arthur Blair' date='15 June 2010 - 12:50 PM' timestamp='1276620593' post='2338343'] Oh god Janova, what happened to you? The TOP war seems to have turned you into a conspiracy nut. The Mushroom Kingdom goads everyone into declaring war on them and then destroys them, oh what horrible creatures we are. Really? Is this something you're just saying or do you literally believe this conspiracy theory? [/quote] I don't agree with all of Bobs posts but he actually seem unbiased and not afraid to tell off people whether they be allies or enemies. Does the fact that he might not share a strictly Pro-SG view upset you?

[quote name='KaitlinK' date='12 June 2010 - 06:31 PM' timestamp='1276381872' post='2335455'] So NPO wrote an entire newsletter dedicated to MK hmmm... someone has a man crush on Archon. [/quote] I find it funny how everyone who was mocking them for months are all shocked that they responded.

[quote name='Sandwich Controversy' date='14 June 2010 - 08:42 PM' timestamp='1276562534' post='2337742'] Banksy you better step off lest you provoke the wrath of "BlkAK47002" [/quote] Nonsense! I am a humble pacifist.

[quote name='Banksy' date='13 June 2010 - 09:39 PM' timestamp='1276479564' post='2336602'] So the NPO wouldn't be willing to help a treaty partner out if the conflict had already started? Interesting. I always thought wars were won by, you know, winning. IRON and Gremlins are at a standstill as IRON can't engage with Gremlin's upper tier. I'm sure IRON wouldn't say no to a bit of help. Yes, the NPO are under surrender terms right now and cannot declare war, how silly of me [/quote] Your provocations have been noted.
