[quote name='anenu' date='30 June 2010 - 05:09 PM' timestamp='1277928577' post='2355554'] GOONS may not be sanctioned at this moment but their population plus their low average NS means it would not be a stretch of the imagination to see them sanctioned within the year without a merger. In fact if you compare the growth of Legion up to the merger to the growth of GOONS you find out that GOONS had grown a bit more than half a million NS with pretty consistent gains throughout while Legion gained a grand total of 160k meaning that GOONS had grown about 400k more then you in a period of less than 30 days. Now i'm not one to needlessly troll an alliance that i don't like but if your going to insult someone because they aren't in an alliance that managed to not get rolled long enough to get sanctioned then i will speak up. [/quote] I'm not denying the facts. It was a big jump for Legion, and lucky for the merger. Many alliances just disband. But the fact of the matter is, I'm willing to poke a little fun at people who want to sit here and bash my alliance, regardless of how we earned the sanction, when in fact, their alliance score is no higher than 11.51 in some cases. I noticed however that you were not defending the 6 man alliance I was speaking about earlier. Well played. http://www.cybernations.net/stats_alliance_stats_custom.asp?Alliance=Goon%20Order%20of%20Oppression%20Negligence%20and%20Sadism And again: 14.32 score. Less than half. In fact with this merger, we only gained about 5 score. Just saying...

[quote name='TOLWYN' date='29 June 2010 - 01:41 PM' timestamp='1277829649' post='2354036'] HAHA. THIS IS THE BEST PURPLE HAS TO OFFER FOR THEIR SANCTIONED ALLIANCE? MY UNDERSTANDING OF THE INFERIOR SPHERES GROWS GREATER. [/quote] Oh I'm sorry, I don't see your 6 man alliance sanctioned? In fact, before I rerolled, I believe my nation was bigger than all the DARK LORDS nations combined. Come see me in 25 years when you guys are sanctioned. Grats to us! Ave Legio! [quote name='Mixoux' date='30 June 2010 - 03:44 PM' timestamp='1277923465' post='2355435'] It's cool; after a week or so at war they'll lose sanction and take another 2-3 years to regain it. [/quote] What? Hey let's play a game! Anyone who's NOT in a sanctioned alliance, stop posting in this thread! That means we can probably remove 6 of the 8 pages of replies. Thanks for playing and come again. [quote name='Lamuella' date='30 June 2010 - 01:20 PM' timestamp='1277914787' post='2355250'] hold on just a second... Legion still exist? [/quote] What? Not sanctioned either? That is indeed a shame.

[quote name='PrinceArutha' date='26 June 2010 - 07:04 PM' timestamp='1277589835' post='2351274'] bring it on Legion [/quote] Look out. Consider it brought.

[quote name='Emperor Marx' date='23 June 2010 - 05:38 PM' timestamp='1277325470' post='2347990'] Or "Methrage" right? [/quote] Sure. We'll go with that too.

I gotta read the rules again, because right now I have no idea how names like "Drugnut" and "Cocaine" were allowed. Apparently I'm missing something.

Well I guess all I can really say is good luck, and like I said, we're not all like that. I'm sorry that you have had a bad experience. It hasn't been all golden paths and roses, and I've made multiple trips to and from the Legion, but overall its been a decent experience. I'm sorry that a few bad apples ruined the fun. You're not the only one who was trying to tune them out. Good luck to where ever you end up going through out your CN life. If anyone else has any other "explaining" to do, you're on your own. I've done my part.

[quote name='ktarthan' date='22 June 2010 - 05:25 PM' timestamp='1277238314' post='2346896'] Good to hear. It's so easy to simply say "it has been dealt with" about IA issues, and not actually have done anything, so it is nice to see some transparency. For a "first offense" (that is, first reprimand for the offense, whether or not this is the first time it occurred) this seems to be a reasonable course of action. [/quote] Trust me, like I said, its likely to fly with anyone in the future. So the rest of our members can consider this as their 1st warning as well. It won't ever fly again. Personally I think the use of the language overall on the forums is a bit out of control. I don't understand why people can't alter their word choice to use words like "crap" and "freaking" instead of the others they do use. Oh well. Another battle for another day.

[quote name='ktarthan' date='22 June 2010 - 05:11 PM' timestamp='1277237476' post='2346878'] Now I apologize for being a nitpick here, but for clarity's sake I would like to hear (if you know) what exactly "dealt with accordingly" and "are taking care of it" refer to. [/quote] No worries. Well to make a long story short, I saw Gunnar posting in our resignation forum and then commissioned him to give me all the information. I am one of 4 assistants to the Inspector General. He is still working on the situation and I believe has the [i]whole[/i] story now, IRC logs and all. One of the 2 offenders made a post explaining that racism was bad and that he was sorry. The other offender piggybacked off this topic and said he was sorry. In my opinion, this was sufficient. You admitted you did wrong and said you were sorry and don't let it happen again. The Imperator (single top leader of the alliance), posted that similar racist conduct would not be tolerated in any way, shape, or form. The two people at fault were publicly reprimanded and civility on the forums was maintained. Basically everyone was living happily ever after until this topic popped up 2 hours ago. And like I said, racism is the worst kind of hate there is. And if it happens again, regarding any member, myself included, I would like to see forum bans, and the potential for expulsion from the alliance. An apology a 2nd time will not fly in my book. Part of being mature is watching your mouth and treating others with respect. If you don't want to abide by those simple unwritten rules, then don't let the door hit you on the way out. You have no business with us. [i] Do unto others.[/i]

[quote name='Aimee Mann' date='22 June 2010 - 04:52 PM' timestamp='1277236334' post='2346856'] I disagree. If we have boneheaded racist hate-mongers in our midst, I want to know about it, particularly if they are the leaders of a group in this game. It seems to be your wish to stop this being a big issue for your alliance, so I'd suggest that a good first move would be to give up on the current attempts to shut this topic down. Defending the accused (which you are tacitly doing by trying to control the topic against the apparent victim and in favour of the accused) without providing any substance other than 'it might hurt the alliances image for this thread to continue' does not look put you in a great light. Instead of simply stonewalling the discussion, it'd make you look better if you were able to say how the allegations were dealt with and what action was taken (if any). Can you do that? [/quote] I commend you really. Because that would be the best method to take care of this situation. And since some of the members involved are sitting on their couches reading the topic when they could be defending or reasoning, I'll do my best to enlighten you all. The IRC logs are pretty hateful. Involving some racist slurs and what not. It was brought to light on our main forums and was dealt with accordingly. Everyone was made aware of the situation, and the Inspector General and government members (who are not involved) are taking care of it. The individual who started this topic, freely left our alliance on his own. Even though we were working on fixing things, and hateful things were said, it was his choice to do what he did...on both accounts [leaving and starting this topic]. He was not forced out. I'm not going to sit here and say that racism is okay, because it most certainly is not. There's no place for racists in this game. We just want to play, have fun etc. At least I do. I don't know what anyone else's motives are. As far as the alliance goes, I don't approve of what was said, but I think it was pretty well dealt with. They both issued apologies on our forums (which was where this should have stayed). I guess the best thing I can say is that racism disgusts me and The Legion is overall a pretty nice group of characters. Don't let a few bad apples taint the barrel. The opinions of those few individuals do not reflect the views of everyone.

[quote name='janax' date='22 June 2010 - 04:05 PM' timestamp='1277233536' post='2346814'] What other SAFETY could you refer to? Is someone going to show up at his house and actually assault him? Seems far less likely. The most logical conclusion for that, then, would be that he would be attacked IN-GAME. If there are other options for how his "safety" would be in peril, please, enlighten me. [/quote] Sure. "Safety" as in his reputation. Maybe I should have used those words. But if you could stop reading into another alliance's politics or game plan, or whatever, that'd be great. Seeing as no Legion members started this topic, the alliance as a whole should probably be left out. In fact, not only am I surprised this topic hasn't been closed, I kinda wish it would be closed. It has no useful purposes whatsoever.

[quote name='janax' date='22 June 2010 - 03:54 PM' timestamp='1277232838' post='2346800'] [b]So he might be attacked for relating his story?[/b] Interesting. Sounds like a reasonable response to admitted "but joking" racist remarks being directed AT him. [/quote] Read into that whatever you want. There's no insider information, or anything like that in the sentence. If I don't explicitly say it, it doesn't exist. So if you think he's going to be attacked, that's your opinion. Don't twist the words.

[quote name='Gunnar Griffin' date='22 June 2010 - 03:45 PM' timestamp='1277232314' post='2346788'] I'm sure everyone knows that the alliance isn't like that as a whole. You did help me; however, I have every right to feel aggrieved over the fact that I supposedly would have been punished if I came back to the Legion over insults directed at me by two members. [/quote] [b] EDIT:[/b] Not even getting into this anymore.

[quote name='Gunnar Griffin' date='22 June 2010 - 03:28 PM' timestamp='1277231289' post='2346768'] I have logs that will show that it was more than jest. I'd rather not show them, but if you want to continue this further, I damn well will. [/quote] Dude. I tried to help you privately on the Legion forums. This public display, or whatever it is, is so not cool. Them being whatever you view them as, taking it to the BBs was so not cool. Not a display of maturity that I always viewed you had. You're really not showing your true colors here and for your own safety and respect, I suggest you drop this. This is nothing more than entertainment for some and a purposeful jab at the alliance as a whole. We're not all like that, and you know it.

Good looking forums guys and nice looking flag.

Wow. You were right. Sorry about all this hassle. That makes no sense though. If its 3000 miles, its 3000 miles. Okay. Thanks guys. This can be locked.

Here is my nation link: http://www.cybernations.net/nation_drill_d...Nation_ID=62344 And to save everyone some reading: * I have 6500 infrastructure. * I have 3000 land purchased. * I have 3,550.65 technology. * And far more money than necessary to purchase it. The only thing I can think of, is that I'm reading the description wrong and that I MUST have coal, lead, oil, uranium. In this case, I only have 3 of the 4. Can anyone assist me?

Minus the massive slew of typos I see, not bad. Legion's loss of score should be in red. Legion has 396 members not 496. I need not search for more errors.

Word.

Everyone is free to make their own threads. Alliances announce anniversaries and hold Q&A all the time. We're going with the trend.

I'm pretty sure you know the answer is in this thread somewhere. So I'm going to do you a solid and ask you to take a gander back through the thread. Currently, its 2 pages. I know that's a lot, but I'm sure you can handle it if you truly want your question answered. You may indeed. And for the ladies out there...you may call us whatever you like.

1) I have no plans to return. 2) No. Because you're on IRC all the time. 3) Ask Tora. He's our FA guru, but by now he already asked. 4) Quantum. 5) Not real sure. I didn't give a response to the topic yet so I figured I'd cough one up.

Sorry you guys could not share the success that we had over at Quantum. Best of luck to you all.

Sure. I just need your fax number. And perhaps a "CC:". You may want your affiliates and allies to read up on the latest copies I produce. Whoever said "The boredom has reached a breaking point"; spot on my friend. Its like people kick back and think of new ways to just utterly dumb down the game. Every new lame thread gets more and more retarded.
