[quote name='Schad' timestamp='1292396558' post='2540069'] Indeed, but saying several hundred would be so gauche. I'm proud of my casualties, but I'm no braggart. [/quote]Fair play. Another thing I thought of - my proudest moment in RP was getting to the semifinals of the 2009 FIFOB Alliance Cup before losing to the eventual winner. (o/ Botha \o) Also inb4inaneWikicomment

Basically the gist of tech-selling is, the buyer (me) sends the seller (you or whoever else) an amount of money ($3M) by foreign aid, and then ten days later, you send the desired amount of tech (50 in my case) back to me as foreign aid.

[quote name='Schad' timestamp='1292394824' post='2540055'] My 780 casualties. Your sacrifice is not forgotten, all several dozen of you. [/quote]That'd be 65 dozen.

Hassling Graham enough to drop that stupid-ass mandatory 50-CM rule from TOOL (which I never followed due to its sheer stupidity), and subsequently getting around 3000 CMs decommed within two days. Seriously, I had over half the alliance thanking me for it. (Those were the people that actually bleedin' listened to me.) (Also, getting TOOL to finally sign a treaty with CCC, naming treaties for three alliances, and having my signature on the ZIPP are up there for me. )

I'd like to get three or four tech deals going atm. I do have more slots than that open at this time, but I like to keep a "charity slot" open in case someone really needs money that I know, and I have one tech deal going already. I refuse to sell to anyone who is at war, for obvious reasons. I reserve the right to end our dealings should you get into one aggressively while we are dealing, and I will hold you accountable for the tech owed in that case. However, should you be attacked without provocation while dealing, I will let that cycle slide. It isn't your fault some gimp decides to jump you for no reason. I desire accountability, both from myself and my sellers. For this reason I'd ask that, if I don't send my money right at update (which is when I'd usually do it) that you PM me in-game. I will do the same with you if tech is not sent within 24 hours of the slot coming open. Interested? Post up.

Honestly, as someone who holds both Rafa and various involved Athenians in high regard, I find this whole situation disturbing... [i]if[/i] it isn't complete shens.

[quote name='Dochartaigh' timestamp='1292287471' post='2538940'] Frankly, i would like to see what would have happened if the UjP won against ~. That would be the largest change i could think of that would affect the game and still have people be interested without having NPO be the center of the universe. my prediction would be a UjW 2.0 a year or so later and a much different future from now. possibly no Umbrella or remake of GOONS or \m/. [/quote] I can think of a couple alliances that would have been driven off the face of Bob had UJP won. A few things, major or minor, that I ponder though... what if: - Hayastan's coup of LUA had succeeded during the NoV-Continuum War... - or from the other angle, had LUA not told CCC to stay out when they entered that war and were eventually forced out of the political scene completely. - The 5-alliance coalition (CCC, TFD, Atarax, LEN, OTF) that was supposed to hit Valhalla during NoCB had actually done so. - TOOL had rolled with Ragnarok during Karma War (We wouldn't have met the awesome allies we'd found in Brigade in that case) - the pre-emption committee hadn't decided to roll C&G. - Grämlins hadn't gone off the deep end during BiPolar.

I don't know what to say about this one.

[quote name='Dave93' timestamp='1292073570' post='2536323'] Oh I also have a question for VE. If your going to attack WasDrogan, shouldn't you also be attacking anyone else who was in the chat? Since they were all there and "conspiring" to spy with WasDrogan. [/quote] Bring it. Seriously, I was listening as well, although not talking, since I was in Kukarka and didn't have my regular computer, hence, no microphone. (OOC: I don't have a proper microphone for my desktop ) Although with that said, I was half-asleep at the time, and had gone to bed literally half an hour before this topic was posted. Late chats

I honestly hope the best for this. Band's worked his butt off on this one. I s'pose it won't affect me personally unless I switch colours, but I won't do that unless my TC goes six feet under. In any case o/ PoP.

Bump from an old friend.

Good show, Athens. o/ Also hello, WickedJ.

Juventus may surprise a few people.

I'm not surprised at your choice of merge here. I must admit though, I find this sudden rash of disbandments and mergers... disturbing. Good luck in the Commonwealth. o/

Better than nothing, I guess. Good to hear there's at least some improvement, even though the git should also have to pay to fix your car.

[quote name='Ashoka the Great' timestamp='1291748337' post='2533075'] Presumably one must be a professed Christian to belong to the CCC. (Someone correct me if I'm mistaken.)[/quote] Actually, one simply needs to have their in-game religion set to Christianity. I remember when Lady Athena's "most successful" alliance, Macedonia, disbanded, and since their embassy at CCC literally became their HQ after Ionizer DDoSed their forums, there was one member that actually joined CCC after the alliance disbanded who wasn't Christian. Plus of course, there's the fact that Chancellor Wes recently [url="http://forums.cybernations.net/index.php?showtopic=95340&view=findpost&p=2530157"]said[/url] that all non-Christian members of DAAN were more than welcome to join them after DAAN merged into CCC Most CCCers [i]are[/i] actually RL Christians though.

A few things I agree with here: [quote name='Xiphosis' timestamp='1291705891' post='2532738'] If Jama has no right to be around, neither do LSF, NoR or Int. [/quote][quote name='Quiziotle' timestamp='1291706210' post='2532744'] Anyhow, I personally see no reason as to why Jama should not be allowed to exist if alliances like the CCC are. [/quote] As an ex-CCCer myself, I would tend to agree. Actually, after a bit of a shaky start, CCC and the first JAMA actually ended up getting along quite well. Also, an A-friggin'-men to the "keep OOC crusades out of the game" sentiment. The whole NoV-Continuum thing made me sick to my stomach, especially when two alliances were forced to disband because of a bunch of dirt-digging.

Always sucks to see an alliance disband, and I must say, [i]this[/i] disbandment kinda surprises me somewhat. o/ FoB

And besides, nippy would drive her insane. Also GOONS

[quote name='Bob Ilyani' timestamp='1291506043' post='2530374'] I feel more like he's a ten-years younger Methrage, fused with RyanGDI, and a little TOLWYN thrown in there for good measure. [/quote] You're forgetting DRDavid Banner (although Dubya's still a better speller than that hack ever was) and mellonhead in his CCC/TFD/random ghosting days. Also fixed spelling.

If nothing else, I have to say that is a pretty solid flag you have there. Good luck.
