  4. The Age of Super-Alliances

    I'm not going to name them, but you can recognize them. They're the ones who get excited about every 1M NS they get (well, everyone does, but they actually set it as a goal and feel like they're winning). If you ask them what their political ambitions are, they'll tell you that they want to grow huge and treaty the strongest alliances in the game. They care little for their members and are more interested in trying to gain political capital. Their members are mostly semi-actives, the people who those "we protect you from tech raiders" recruitment messages pull in. Their gov consists of a bunch of people who don't even know each other or where the alliance is going, but work together because they want to be 'gov' and want to claim some success for their own.

    As a smaller alliance government member, I have to disagree with the last bit of what I quoted above. Most "smaller" (micro or low ANS mid sized) alliance government members are fairly competent, and have goals that go beyond signing treaties with sanctioned alliances. Yes, I will agree there are some, but it is wrong to generalize all of us as incompetent and not caring.

    I have a pretty strong feeling that most of the micro hating comes from the mass announcements from smaller, "insignificant" alliances on the AA forum. What most people on the OWF seem to fail at is realize that most successfull, smaller alliances do not post often on the OWF, and thus do not get recognized by the larger community. Therefore, small alliances have two options: post a lot, make some mistakes, and be laughed into disbandment, or be careful, become ignored, and fall into obscurity. Neither is a particularly good option if you ask me.

    Congrats on the new forums, I suppose. Hopefully you get it all figured out and mastered quickly.

  16. A Joint Declaration of Peace

    In all my years in this game, I have never witnessed such hysterical attacks against a fallen comrade as I have seen in this thread (and the THL thread) by people who are (purportedly) on the same side. Typically, when an ally falls in combat, we see hails from their side about the sacrifice that was made.

    I know nothing about TCU or the strength of the bonds that drew them into this conflict, but since I had never heard of them prior to declaring war upon them, I have certain suspicions. Firstly, I suspect that they were drawn in by their allies, and that they were totally unprepared for the onslaught that was to befall them. This leads me to believe that their own allies were not completely honest about the battle ahead. And now that they have suffered a defeat, their own side descends upon them like wolves.

    I wouldn't treat my enemies like this, much less people who shed blood on my behalf. It's despicable behavior, and it stinks of desperation.

    Isn't it sad that the only people honestly giving props to TCU are those who were at war with them? They did what they could, and you can't ask for much more than that.

    Seriously? The invective in this thread is sickening.

    Listen to yourselves.

    TCU entered into this war for the right reasons. TCU entered into this war to defend their allies. This is much more than their numerous detractors have done.

    TCU immediately became outnumbered, 79 nations and 2450k NS fighting against 738 nations and 25800k NS. Ten to one odds.

    Ten. To. [b]One[/b].

    I don't care how big your warchest is. When there is no help coming, against those odds, there is nothing to be done. This is not a failure of the individual TCU nations. This is not a failure of the TCU leadership. This is a failure of the coalition that TCU fought for.

    TCU has not abandoned you. You have abandoned them.

    They have relieved the pressure on their allies, if only for a week. They have lost much to do so. If there is any shame in this situation, it is in your expectation that TCU continue to lose, until you have used them all up and toss them away, like a worthless pawn you so obviously perceive them to be.

    For shame. They deserve better than the likes of you.

    I completely agree with this. On top of the odds, many of the alliances who attacked them were among the most experienced and coordinated alliances in the game.

    They took their dogpile with dignity, which is more than I can say for about 99% of the people here.

    I second that sentiment.

    It only takes 15-30 minutes, per hour. Plus another 45 minutes per hour at update.

    Thanks GO.

    TUF is going to discover how it feels to be attacked, chased and surrounded by one of the most efficient and organized alliances of CN. GO will really reduce them to rubble.

    I'm not being cocky, but I believe you severely under estimate TUF. We may not be well known, but we're not GPA, either.

    TUF, firstly let me apologise on behalf of jesbro, the MHA does not endorse disrespecting DoW's regarding ourselves. Im sure he will be dealt with for such a rather vulgar outburst here.

    Secondly, may we have a pleasant and fun fight. Just hope the poetry doesn't deafen some of you :D

    Edit:

    no offense taken, but thanks anyway. Glad to see there is some civility left among opposing sides. And fallin, once we get done beating on each other, I may take you up on that beer.
