Comrade Craig

I feel like there should be a way for me to hijack this whole conflict, somehow. Seriously gang, if there are any SDU people who want to proclaim their undying devotion to the philosophies of Karl Marx, please do it. I'm bored, and blowing a petty civil war out of proportion seems a temporary cure. -Craig

This announcement is certified as terrible. [img]http://i.imgur.com/O0pxS.png[/img] -Craig

I can't wait to screw you guys over like we've done to all our other allies! [s]death to BFF[/s]¡Viva BFF! ¡Viva INT! -Craig

[quote name='Piley' timestamp='1348944877' post='3035700'] You guys are barely a leftist alliance anymore just a bunch of POWINDAH [/quote] Your ideological purity is noted, comrade, but I advise you not speak too loudly. The Central Committee sees and hears all. [ooc]I write a work of satire (admittedly rushed; not my best work), and you respond with genuine incredulity? Not just you, but a handful of others, too? This is why you don't get invited to parties.[/ooc] -Craig

I agree with Dre4m's statement. R&R is a damn fine alliance. The other one? Not so much. -Craig

This is not a defeat for class solidarity. This is, in fact, a victory. First the petite bourgeois, self-procleimed "anarchists" jumped ship, as is common with middle-class radicals and other fake leftists. Next, the authoritarian dinosaurs follow suit. No big surprise there. It wouldn't be the first time the Stalinists have betrayed the working class. The working men and women of the International are more united than ever before. INT [b][i]is[/i][/b] the united left. The counterrevolution is doomed to failure. Power to the people and their representatives on the Central Committee! Viva INT! -Craig

[quote name='Emperor Marx' timestamp='1347950521' post='3031400'] Does this mean I can speak for you? [/quote] Indeed. You have discovered the one flaw in my otherwise bulletproof scheme. -Craig

[quote name='D34th' timestamp='1347940731' post='3031343'] You would be correct, if we ignore the fact that said member held a high government position at the time. [/quote] We all know that there is no Commissar but Marx and Comrade Craig is his prophet... So why are we still pretending like some mid-level party bureaucrat can speak for us? Only I can speak for us. -Craig

There's too much talk of NoR and LSF in this thread. Needs more [s]cowbell[/s] "INT sucks." -Craig

Well. Hurry back. I'm bored.

Has anyone used any variation on "INTercourse" yet? Because that's got some good humor potential, too. -Craig

Oh, I get it. The alliance name is a penis joke. Good one. -Craig

Well ain't this a kicker. We done been caught red-handed, fellas. Time to throw in the towel. -Craig

[quote name='D34th' timestamp='1345501247' post='3023836'] The Int mentality is disturbing: [i]"We don't honored our treaty with RnR, we also let our blocmates attack them, but now we canceled the treaty and the problem is solved."[/i], but the best part is yet to come:[i] "There is no treachery"[/i] they say. [/quote] [quote name='Craig']Everyone wants to interpret this cancellation in a way that advances their own narrative of history. I can't stop them. The best I can do is to simply tell the truth, as I have done here, and they can take it or leave it.[/quote] And you've chosen "leave it." This is why open and honest dialog is impossible. -Craig

You guys are all morons. Every last one of you. Once upon a time there was an alliance called the Communist Party of CyberNations (CPCN, for short). This alliance was a member of little bloc called the League of Extraordinary Oranges. At different times, this bloc contained MOON, The Resistance (TR), FOK, and of course R&R (among others. Check the wiki). One day, CPCN merged with the Socialistic Empire (SE)and elements of The Righteous Fist (TRF) to form the pinko supergroup known as INT. The members of LEO voted and decided that INT should maintain CPCN's seat in the bloc, and thus it was so. The Karma War rolled around, and all was lovely. Bloc unity was at an all-time high, and many love poems were written about the unbreakable bonds between INT, FOK, and R&R. The romantic high faded (as all infatuations eventually do). FOK's wandering eye was caught by sexy little number known as Pandora. Without FOK, LEO was essentually a joke (let's face it, LEO was always a FOK vanity project), so the remaining members (mostly INT and R&R) voted to disband the bloc, and thus, LEO was no more. The act of disbanding LEO was a unifying event for R&R and INT, in a sense, but it also laid the foundation for the current problem. While R&R maintained strong ties with FOK and SuperFriends, INT was basically set adrift. Internal shifts in FOK caused INT to fall out of their favor, and the MDoAP between us was canceled. Throughout it all, ODN was a steadfast ally. INT needed a new place to call home, C&G was a great match, and the Network was a vocal advocate. Athens, GR, and LOST welcomed us with open arms. I'll never regret the decision to sign on with this crew. We ignored this fundamental problem with our FA. It was easier to look past it than to address it head-on. But ignoring a problem doesn't make it go away. It's been addressed now. LEO is dead. The SuperGrievances entity is no more. Niether INT nor R&R was willing to make the political changes necessary to keep this treaty alive. So it's gone. Problem solved. We're moving forward now. Everyone wants to interpret this cancellation in a way that advances their own narrative of history. I can't stop them. The best I can do is to simply tell the truth, as I have done here, and they can take it or leave it. Two friends took two different paths. There is no treachery; no conspiracy. Situations change and we adapt. -Craig [ooc]edit: In case you don't get it, I freakin' love R&R. If I could snap my fingers and make them a member of C&G at this moment, I'd do it. This cancelation breaks my damn heart (as much an online game can).[/ooc]

[quote name='Duke Nukem' timestamp='1345171597' post='3022638'] It's sad to see Int let their ally be rolled and then cancel the treaty, not the other way around. You guys didn't even have the chutzpah to cancel it before it came to the point where your MDAP allies were attacking them. Stay classy Int. [/quote] Please save your insightful commentary for CN Radio, where it truly belongs. Your brilliance is not satisfactorily represented in this medium, due solely to the inadequacies of the written language. Seriously. I'd [i]pay[/i] for an hour-long special dedicated entirely to your observations. -Craig

[quote name='Laslo Kenez' timestamp='1345149156' post='3022499'] What's changed, you normally look like that? [/quote] That's what makes me SO FREAKIN' SCARY! Don't play me boy. I'm hardcore. -Craig

[quote name='ChairmanHal' timestamp='1345135425' post='3022447'] ...should Anarchy Inc. engage in a hostile takeover, you'll be calling in every favor anyone ever did for you since you landed on Planet Bob...and you should. Mark your time. [/quote] OH SNAP! IT'S ON! [img]http://bestbathroombooks.files.wordpress.com/2012/04/n71562515226527724764du9.jpg[/img] I'm ready! BRING IT! -Craig

Stay classy, R&R. You'll always be among my favorite alliances. http://youtu.be/dtULfyw5Px8 Also, don't be afraid to purge the Finns. The hippies might whine, but no one will care. -Craig

I'm impressed that RIA was able to pick a single side this time around. That's real progress for y'all. -Craig

Here's to 4 more years! -Craig

[quote name='Gibsonator21' timestamp='1341293390' post='3002338'] NPL isn't hitting you because you ghosted tR. Neither is GOD. [/quote] I believe that's what I said, yes. Maybe my point wasn't clear. -Craig

Let me get this straight. We had several nations openly ghosting TR during that battle, and a GOD ghost-declaration was still required to put NPL on us? Looks to me like someone over at GOD is just trying to jump in front of NPL's parade. -Craig

Ugly girls are easier, dummies. -Craig

Can't wait for your surrender, Xiphy. Address it to me personally. -Craig
