  1. With the activity rules now based on when you login last rather than when you collect, it will be hard to let your nation delete completely from inactivity. I know how you feel and have considered leaving completely myself, but hopefully I don't see you delete before I do.

     

    Even if it feels like you don't play anymore and barely login to check your nation for months at a time, as long as you don't delete your nation, you can come back anytime if bored. Have fun, go rogue, blow stuff up. If you're ever in bill lock and need some aid to rebuild, just let me know and I'll have you covered. So even after you're done doing everything you want before quitting, if you end up not deleting, as long as my nation is still around you will still have allies/friends who will assist you if you ask.

     

    Take care out there if you do leave completely, its been nice knowing you in CN.

    I'll likely delete when I've burnt my WC.

     

    Seeing that I was a tech&cash farm for the best part of the last three years, it's not really big and it won't take that long.

  2. Don't know if it's in the proper subforum, if not just move it.

     

    Hi fellow CNers,

     

    For the past eight years and two months, I've been a member of this community, with only a very short break in the end of 2007. I've always had this mentality - and I hold it on other games too - that if you're not having fun anymore and logging on feels like a chore, you shouldn't be playing the game. Games are meant for fun. Which is probably why I've rerolled three times and never reached the 100k+ zone, let alone the new heights of today.

     

    During my time on CN, I've been a member of the following alliances: ICSN, ICP, LSF, Vox Populi, Echelon, GGA, STA, NPO, ZDP, MK and TOP. I probably forget a few along the way. I've been in small and big alliances alike. Alliances that didn't matter and alliances that were - still are - at the forefront. I've been a loyal soldier, a leader, an agitateur, a spy, an agent saboteur, a tech farm and a rogue (and a rouge too). I've tried making an alliance and I've joined a few who were just starting. I've participated in small and big blocs, colour-themed blocs, friendship blocs and power-politic ones. I've been active in mentoring, admission and recruitment, internal affairs, foreign affairs. I've been a victor and I've been defeated. I've been PZIed and I've been in alliances who PZIed others (can't say I've ever sentenced anybody myself, though).

     

    I'm listing that because I feel, at this point, that I've experienced pretty much everything CN has to offer. I've made lots of friends - many of whom I talk to IRL, generally via Facebook or text - and haven't made a single serious enemy.

     

    I can honestly say I've had a blast, but it's time to move on.

     

    If we met, talked to each other and I wasn't an arse to you, it's quite possible that I liked you. Consider this as a last salute.

     

    Ciao and thanks for the fun,

    Yev.

     

    N.B: I'll probably rogue as a dilettante for a bit, nuking every now and then, before I reach deletion. For one last time: [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vwdnNyySDLI]Falalalan![/url]

  3. Indeed. It's a Hall of Fame propaganda campaign, not a foreign policy.

    The problem is that many alliances - and their leaders - took it to heart and decided to run their foreign affairs according to that ridiculous principle. 

     

    The fact is that Polar and TOP launched a preemptive aggressive war and now they want to levy terms on alliances that simply honored treaties to defend the nations that TOP and the NpO aggressively attacked with zero provocation. I suppose pure military victory and stomping on the corpses of their adversaries is all TOP and NpO care about right now, but politically this is a very stupid move that exposes them as a power-hungry bloc with little concern for global stability. Indeed, they seem to care for very little outside of what they can force the world to give them at the point of a gun.

     

    The very equilibrium of the world has been upset by their regime.

    Zero provocation?

    The Kool-Aid must be kinda strong in those northern lands.

  4.  

    Guess we'll see what happens down the road.

    Till someone decides to try and break the cycle rather than one-up the previous.

    To be honest, I personally just see it for what it is: a sign that your coalition is not yet defeated to the point where it is ready to seriously discuss peace. Instead, we are witness to the use of cheap theatrics and drama stunts at the negotiating table.

     

    I simply wish my own coalition would adjust and stop entertaining this notion that we should discuss peace terms with petulant children.

  5. Skipped after page 4, went directly to the last one, noticed it somehow became about TOP, which is how all threads end nowadays.

     

    Appealing to the public only works when a significant portion of said public is undecided and in a position to do something about it. In this case, it's just pointless posturing. 

     

     

    As a sidenote, I don't know if it has been pointed out, but using the "14-21 billions" figure is ridiculous for two reasons:

    1)It presumes 100% efficiency.

    2)It plays on reps numbers (propaganda image) without considering the recent "aid inflation"... of 100%.

  6. I'm somewhat curious as to how you will explain away the subtitle in GOONS DoW?

    I don't really have to justify stuff done by alliances I'm not in but, for the fun of it, here's my take on it: I'm not privy to discussion that goes on in the higher channels of our coalition. I suppose it refers to some debate going on OR to some previous war shenanigans. Are you implying a taunt is the same thing as switching sides mid-war?

     

    There's no use in trying to analyse it, no one likes it when their bluff gets called.

    If you were some kind of military powerhouse, that might be true. As it is, this feels more like Sardonic calling you out and you guys confirming you have a pair of 2s.
