[quote name='Great Lord Moth' timestamp='1307374205' post='2725409'] A very comfortable buffer between us and the next alliance up for sanction, a very far way to go to catch up to next-to-last place. @.o We're cruisin'. [/quote] I'd say you have a week, tops.

Its all about the upper tier baby

[quote name='Dajobo' timestamp='1307330240' post='2724931'] BigKat it isn't about defending UINE, we agree it should have been paid. It's frustration at the fact that there have been several offers to pay it and they got no response. WAR was the preferred option over receiving the money. [/quote] If they want war, maybe you should do them a favor and give it to them?

[quote] In any case, if anyone can figure out how to become "bulletproof" in CN these days it will be Rupert. [/quote] You just need to become more than a man, you have to become an idea.

[quote name='TIEIXIAIS' timestamp='1307223374' post='2723916'] You can have the same result from aid....a waste really. [/quote] brb aiding a lower tier nation over ten billion in a week.

[quote name='HHAYD' timestamp='1307226099' post='2723953'] Every alliance experiences members leaving due to: 1. The members are bored of CN. 2. The members want to join another alliance (during peace time hopefully). 3. The members are too busy with RL to even check their nation. 4. They got in trouble with the Admin. Unless if all of your members are actually computer-controlled, you're bound to lose at least a one member per year. [/quote] Of course we lose nations, but I don't understand how this relates to us losing a war?

[quote name='Deimos27' timestamp='1307222719' post='2723909'] Remember comments like these about TOP, before the (in)famous preemptive strike? Maybe not the 'well liked' part, but this is familiar. MK even made some propaganda about it. [/quote] Umbrella's motto is "never good enough" :> [quote name='HHAYD' timestamp='1307222494' post='2723903'] Just a question, how long can Umbrella maintain more than 15 or 20 members if all of their brand-new low NS recruits are constantly triple-teamed? [/quote] First off, your math doesn't quite add up, if all of our low NS "recruits" leave, I think we'd have far more than 15 or 20 members. Second off, Umbrella has never had anyone leave during war for fear of their pixels, it isn't in the culture, especially for our lower tier nations. We don't let lower tier nations in easily after all, so they have to be fiercely loyal. Or we could just put them all into peace mode, heh.

[quote name='HHAYD' timestamp='1307207424' post='2723784'] What's the member count for less than 10K NS? [/quote] It's irrelevant, but I think GOONS has that covered.

Valhalla: 11 people above 100K NS Valhalla: 4 people above 10k Tech Dark Templar: 0 Above 100K NS Dark Templar: 0 Above 10k Tech Asgaard: 11 people above 100K NS Asgaard: 3 people above 10k Tech NoR: 9 people above 100K NS NoR: 6 people above 10k Tech Umbrella: 42 people above 100K NS Umbrella: 51 people above 10k Tech Good luck...

The power of god in a click.

That's GOONS to you, honey.

oh very nice an iPad.

[quote name='Azaghul' timestamp='1306211392' post='2717289'] Well we won the vote didn't we. [/quote] That means nothing, you just had your members spam vote it. [i]Wait...[/i]

[quote name='Dochartaigh' timestamp='1305844700' post='2715160'] Antoine has said it over and over again that Umbrella going in against GPA was totally ochocinco's and that gov's fault and that the current Umbrella is not the same. I am a former Polar and I have admitted many mistakes Polaris made. The Emperor of Polaris IS Polaris. That is how it has always been. Hence why Polaris still gets crap over stuff that ES did or that Grub did. Not that good of a try at all. @Antoine- Umbrella declared War on GPA. End. Of. Story. does not matter how many nations in Umbrella actually declared, fact is Umbrella declared. Umbrella clearly supported the war against GPA including the reasons (or lack there of) for the war. Nothing you can say will change those facts Antoine. Nothing. [/quote] Here I am, admitting it was the fault of Umbrella as a whole, not one man or one government, and I get trolled for blaming it on the past governments. I tried I guess.

[quote name='Rogal Dorn' timestamp='1305808077' post='2714887'] Natan, sadly i can say that you don't know our membership as well as you think you do. come on over Natan, experience us for yourself. [/quote] I will take that as an offer for duel membership and accept it. I'll be over on your boards to be masked later today.

[quote name='William Bonney' timestamp='1305806375' post='2714880'] Hey, that's great! Just make sure you kiss enough butt and get everyone to like you while you're up there, you never know when a coalition might decide to DoW because they just don't like you, even though you've got new leadership running things. [/quote] New leadership? Mary has been around the top of NPO for eons, not to mention Moo is still around. And further, I think a change I also haven't seen goes further than just leadership, I haven't seen a real change in attitude from the membership, they're still same old.

[quote name='Dochartaigh' timestamp='1305739928' post='2714393'] Hell, as of right now, Umbrella refuses to acknowledge its actions and states that it was the previous gov's fault and not the current gov. [/quote] When have we ever said that? Really it is pretty wide spread thought within the old guard of Umbrella that the most regretablle decisions we made were partaking in the woodstock massacre and demanding reperations of polaris during WoTC, but that is the fault of the alliance not an individual, we're democratic so we can't do what polar does, and just always blame it on the emperors power ("Hey man we couldn't stop it I'm only the regent, I just stood by and watched, couldn't do anything more than that) I know if nearly any umbrella member could go back in cybernations time and change things they would change those two events. Good try though, I guess?

:> I've always enjoyed us working together. To another five years. (Just kidding I wouldn't wish this upon anyone)

Good thing you squeezed yourself out of this one RoK!

God speed my friends.
