Enjoyed our time on Q boards together, and chatting on IRC from time to time. Best of luck to you in RL, sad to see you go.

I got my start in NADC, recruited by Stonewall Jaxon (well, his previous incarnation). Was there right after the NADC-BLEU war and things were a mess. Nice people, though, and still have a soft spot for it.

What a great group there was in ACV, best protectorate MHA ever had and a great MDoAP partner after that. Honor and loyalty like no other. Saw KMac over at IPA, hope he stops in . . .

Holy mother of God. I kept telling MHA to treaty with you folk . . .
Good reminder to people that the Continuum is still one freaking scary bloc. Congratulations to FinsterBaby, the IRON Council, and all my friends in IRON. So where is this party, and who do I have to sleep with to get an invite?
-
Kevin, you've been a good friend and I wish you all the best. ACV's honor and friendship was a source of pride for MHA. May you all have soft landings and remember ACV with deserved pride.
-
I would like to offer my humble thanks to my friends in MHA. I'm truly touched by the honor, which I will cherish.
Even so, I confess I'm even more excited about the great new policies, and the kindness you have shown with them and with your pardons. In those actions you've shown what makes MHA special, and what makes you such good people -- you care about the other nations/rulers in this silly game, you always take the high road and act with class, you have some fun, and yet . . . you aren't totally harmless.
MHAil to my hoopy brethren!

I'm selling a donation for April, asking price is 600 tech. Buyer will need to arrange for and guarantee tech sources.
PM with interest.

Make that 2, aid sent.

Keep up the good work, Stumpy. These forums need a routine summary of what has happened for those of us too lazy to wade through all the muck. And the cards were hilarious. I hope we see regular, continued editions.

In game PM sent.

I'm in. PM sent.

I'm in, too. PM sent.

Congratulations to my good friends in Argent and Grämlins. Two great alliances filled with some of the best people in CN.
-
This is retarded.
I'm not clicking that link.
Thank God a Grämlin said it first. Brings to mind the infamous Super Bowl Shuffle from the old Chicago Bears. But damn, look at that avg. NS. In all seriousness, congrats to a truly great alliance and great friends.

I asked my grandfather why he never spoke much, and he said "The shortest answer is doing." He was a smart guy, and the best friend I think anyone could have.
You are what you do. Not what you say, what you write, what you think. One's worth is measured by the content of character, and that can only be shown and not discussed. Enemies, and more often the indifferent, say friendly things. "He's a nice guy," is easy to say after a quick IRC conversation with someone, but will those words match their choices? A friend's does. But merely doing isn't enough. True friendship is shown by selfless action. True friendship can be inconvenient, and true friendship can only be proven by constancy through hardship. Friendship doesn't care about self-interest.
Who in CN would we consider good friends by this definition? GRE and OBR come to mind. STA and MK do too. Lots of others. More than one would think given the routine complaints about the state of CN. There are many loyal alliances and even more loyal players in the game. It's the only thing that keeps me here.

NATO wishes to state that the nation of Montreality has apparently gone insane and has not only declared war on two allied nations but has also been mass mailing every alliance he can find telling them Admin only knows what.
Not only admin knows what . . .
To: [iNSERT ALLIED ALLIANCE LEADER HERE] From: Wman21 Date: 3/19/2009 11:19:41 AMSubject: Hey %!
Message: Yes, you! You $%&* face, your guys attacked NATO and now we declare $%&*ing war to you! Beware, if you attack one more our guy, we'll $%&*ing destroy your whole $%&*ing alliance. We'll give you 3 days to apologize you %$ or you're going down!
I for one, am shocked that this message was not authorized from the highest levels of NATO high command. The punctuation, the subtlety, the clear grasp of CN politics -- it had all the hallmarks of our years friendship. Thank Admin we learned by private channels of this brilliant subterfuge, or we may well have destroyed Q over this.

Anyway, after talking with Experimentum on the phone for nearly two hours last night, I'll encourage his detractors in this thread to go easy. This appears to be a smear campaign, but it is really an insurrection to promote positive change. I don't know how it will all end up, but I do not believe that there is malice at the root of his exposé.
Best wishes, barring some additional drama, I am going to take another few months off from this forum.
This level of maturity in dealing with conflict is inspiring. All of this gives us an insight in OBR that we don't get to see too often with their general neutrality. And it shows their quality that the view inside isn't bad, despite the revelations in this thread and the other.

Sadly, BR's net went down, so this will be cut short.

1. Sure.
2. Absolutely not, taking this game back to the stone age would be the greatest thing to happen to it.
3. Nothing, and there's no point in trying.
What Choader said.
For me the really interesting question is how the global stockpile of nukes combines with the huge warchests so many of the larger nations have been amassing since the last big war. Nukes + lots of cash = potential for a long and deadly confrontation.

What makes me happier than the standings is an almost 1 million NS gain for MHA this past month:
As MXCA gets its forums back to full speed and starts taking in all that TSO aid, it will also undoubtedly pressure the heck out of us. It should be a good battle for #4 going forward!
-
I'm just waiting to see whether DK or BR invokes their MDoAP with MHA first. We stand ready. Also, would it be wrong to bet tech against one side, then send aid to the other?
Keep up the commentary, DK and Brian, I lolled at "I think my planes falling on his soldiers softened them up."
-
Congratulations to our friends in Invicta. It's a good thing to shake things up a bit just to keep things fresh, and we wish you all the best with the Spring cleaning.

IRON has MHA's full support, and as privately communicated, we will support you while you get your forums in order, including military assistance as appropriate. Please let us know how we can help.
MHA may also have been the victim of hackers on its forums, a matter currently under investigation. While our forums remain up and running, there appears to be a disturbing trend that requires action, and we make a plea to anyone with information to come forward.
OOC: Let me join the chorus and say this is outrageous, and those responsible should be held criminally responsible. OOC DDoS attacks are beyond all boundaries, and if anyone reading this has any information about the identities of the perpetrators, it is vital that you help halt this criminal activity. We need to get control of this game back and turn this disturbing trend around.

Best of luck to our allies in IRON. Darwin award to Jarheads for not being a better friend.

Floyd checking in with all the other hoopy froods. Served as Minister of Towels, MHA Triumvir and posthumously received the MHA Triumvir Award for services rendered to alliance, though I think that last one might just be the result of that drunken night with WCR.
I'll always be a Hitchhiker and Härmlin at heart.
