Actually if you try to make your own beer but mess up, it is quite common to get an unwanted banana flavor in there. I find it funny that a company has made that into a product. I bet it was one of those accidental "inventions" that they decided they liked.

As the only interaction with any depth is between nation leaders and not with the nation itself, the reduction of domestic matters to numbers almost makes sense in a way given the way you're forced to govern. We're all negligent and outward-looking leaders who couldn't care one whit about our citizenry, so long as they keep pumping cash into our coffers (and as they invariably do when they aren't rioting, why mess with a good thing by paying attention to them?) and fighting our wars. Being so focused on international relations, it's all just numbers on a ledger, with complex concepts reduced to simplified terms like 'tech' by ministers who realize that when it comes to domestic policy, your attention span parallels a hamster on speed. Could be anything from manufactured products to natural resources...you just don't care because you're too busy counting your dongs and planning the next war. [/quote] hilarious. Would read again EDIT: read it again. Still hilarious

[quote name='Feanor Noldorin' date='02 March 2010 - 09:50 PM' timestamp='1267595639' post='2212358'] You want us to pay reps to the NpO? That has to be the funniest thing I've seen in weeks. [/quote] I don't think he was saying that, I took it as giving them up to anyone not NpO specifically.

[quote name='eyriq' date='02 March 2010 - 09:11 PM' timestamp='1267593295' post='2212311'] I find it interesting that there [i]are[/i] so many former allies opposing TOP. If surrender terms continue to remain of the crippling variety and this war drags on with such painful consequences I can imagine that the desire to fight on will eek out much quicker on the C&G and friends side. TOP does not make a very good monster. [/quote] RAWR! my best attempt

[quote name='foxfire99' date='02 March 2010 - 08:39 PM' timestamp='1267591367' post='2212278'] Tech dealing is like using labor in third world country to build electronics. Tech raiding is taking over a country and forcing the population to build electronics for you. I assume that Planet Bob has a massive mercenary industry. And perhaps larger, more technologicly advanced nations build some sort of robots to fight for them. [/quote] That is the best explanation I have seen, thanks.

A lot of numbers in the game could stand to have their decimal place moved around, or in the case of land switch it from radius to square kilometres The ability for a small nation to buy the technology to build toasters and send it to a super advanced country, which will somehow use this old technology to further its current research, will never make any sense.

[quote name='Vladimir Stukov II' date='02 March 2010 - 06:55 PM' timestamp='1267585135' post='2212151'] I think this war has actually caused a lot of TOP members to like MK more than we did before the war. We certainly don't hate you guys now. MOST of you are cool people and you guys are definitely the best alliance we have ever fought by far. [/quote] Only the best at war, not the best where it really counts... In bed

NUTS!

MK of course has been very impressive. I'd also give a shout out to Dark Fist who surprised me with their fighting ability.
