Hiya Walt how goes the rebuild. It looks like we have another party going on here one that appears is going to be more fun than the last one. It seems there is much less hate and more laughs and fun than I HATE YOU DIE attitude.
With our Reps being what they are, and our various restrictions, slow is the word for our re-build.
Seeing a little about the latest par-tay, it seems an un-expected turn occurred -- more later.
Also, an update as to who we are coming this weekend -- a long in coming update -- sorry folks.

... ouch -- been too long

I did, I did, saw me another sunrise!

...However, NPO have been the centre of whining.
And we have done this how;examples please.

Following some of what was written above, I feel compelled to quote (for some perhaps remind, for others perhaps provide for the first time):
Ian looked down at him. And it seemed to Tyburn that the Dorsai face had gone away from him, somehow become as remote and stony as a face carved high up on some icy mountain's top."But I'm not just a man of the military," Ian said. "That was the mistake Kenebuck made, too. That was why he thought that stripped of military elements, I'd be easy to kill."
Tyburn looked up at him, felt a chill run down his spine as icy as wind off a glacier.
"Then, in heaven's name," cried Tyburn. "What are you?"
Ian looked from his far distance down into Tyburn's eyes and the sadness rang as clear in his voice finally, as iron-shod heels on barren rock.
"I am a man of war," said Ian, softly.
Shai Dorsai!

I dont know if there will ever be enough traffic of vets for that Walt. a guy like me who is 39 really views the game as entertainment as life is filled with other things.... While some of us dont post a lot, most of us do read.
Understood.
At 62, this is (as those before it over the decades were also) 'fun' with enough details to allow me to delve into the details when the spirit moves me.
Going through message after message of 'They are... no they're not... yes they are' is not fun.
p.s. Lurk Mode I also understand [ smile ]

What CN events in particular were you interested in discussing?
Any and all.
My premise (so far 'proved' true) is we (ex)military, many who have seen real-life combat, can discuss CN (IC or OOC) with a little less hysterical unsupportable BS than finds its way into other Forum areas.
As such, any topic is germane.
My hope (so far falling short) is for enough traffic so that when asked, Admin gives us our own Forum Section.
In any event, about Red Dawn... [ smile ]

1 - Planet Bob continues to evolve.
2 - Roles change.
3 - What unfortunately appears not to change are those who deny 1 & 2 above.
For the rest of us let's sit back, so to speak, and enjoy...

We 'in the trenches grunts' understand two points:
- We must follow what is required by the TOS we entered into some three-plus weeks ago
- Notwithstanding that, we still can provide a service when called upon and allowed

Well from what I am hearing the new set of terms is not going to help things settle down, I feel that the animosity will only fester. "karma" will come back and bite KARMA on the a$$. I figure this will take a year or two before things get going again, and perhaps this time no alliance will be left out.
I'm not sure if we'll even get to a second year.
We our paying out quite a bit. We are being told... who gets what. What we aren't being told, understandably, is how 'who gets what' is being determined or who is making this determination. That determination could become a hot issue.

The combination of requiring the tech to be paid by the top nations and not allowing any NPO nations to receive tech means NPO will be eliminated as a military threat at the upper ranges more or less permanently.
I'm not MilCom; I question the 'real' benefit in battle that tech passed a certain point plays. Anyone?
I do find it amusing that NPO took these terms which are much worse long term, but rejected the ones which just involved their banks fighting a round of war, which would have been far easier to recover from long term. Strategic error on NPO's part I think, but I won't complain.Three attackers, two battles per day, 1mil loss per battle equals 6mil per day, OR, a 'defeat alert' which means they will automatically be placed into Anarchy, up to 5 defending spies may be killed, 5% or up to 10 technology levels, 20% or up to 40 infrastructure levels, and 5% or up to $5 million in money may be destroyed (not stolen).
Again, I'm not MilCom... anyone?

...hmmm
Time for more activity, perhaps.

Preatorian... last I heard from him he was in a hospital after being hit by an IED in Iraq. I hope he is ok, but having not heard from him for about a year, I kinda fear the worst.
...in our thoughts and prayers

Finally, now on to business.
-
-
So long as NPO is NPO resonable terms I do not believe will be given.
...I, too, believe many feel that way.
Consider though...
CN, 'permits' those who 'organize' to reap the benefits of such organization. This is how it is, and how it should be structured... it is a war game after all.
While RISK has a multitude of variants, I don't believe there is one where all the players do is build their respective countries. You build, you war, you attempt to take over the world.
NPO had been a top-dog -- we are no longer. The rest of the CN players have achieved that. We're going on 90 days of warfare.
I suggest the timbre of CN is presently being affected in a way that is not so healthy for CN taken as a whole... one reason I started this thread.
-
But what is being asked?? there are a few bits and pieces being doled out, but not the whole ball of wax.
While I could post the full terms, I don't think it's my place to do so. Iin several other threads I've asked Karma to post them without any response.
I would agree on NPO's arrogance, I would not doubt that over the years it built up and while dented, prob still exists. I agree that dissolving it would prob help, but also don't think it will help a lot. There is tooo much hate out there.For us NPO grunts it is not arrogance. Rather, it is a very strong "Esprit de corps."
If you've 'been there' in RL... you understand. In Viet Nam nobody, .n.o.b.o.d.y., f----d with my RivRon mates PERIOD!!!
In CN, many of us Pacificans feel the same way about NPO.
Yes, to others it will appear as arrogance. To us it is the intangible belief in ourselves regardless of the 'stress' or controversy of the moment.
Shai Dorsai!
