Ikaru

I personally hold nothing against NEW here. I'm sure they discussed this decision in private with the gov of all of their allies (including TOOL), and they wouldn't be publicly posting this without someone canceling a treaty unless everyone said "OK, we get it." Am I disappointed that NEW won't be helping out in this war? A little. Do I hold it against them? No. It's this or be held as hypocrites for supporting the original CB by declaring on Polar's side when they have pretty liberal raiding standards themselves.

I agree with this, that emoticon looks like a crazed six year old. Signed, OVERLORD Ikaru, OVERLORD of Sol Kingdom, Master of TOOL-shakes

If this is real I demand it turns global.

Wait, seriously? You've gotta be kidding.

o/ TOOL! Kick some Athens butt!

Much fun to be had here. Anyone with sense would wonder why Zoom, who isn't TOOL Gov, would post this.

More that Athens is using a CB concerning something that was planned six months ago and didn't happen. They could've just yelled at TPF in private channels.

I love it when Alice in Wonderland fuels me with ideas.

Better yet, screw CBs entirely!

I guess if Jarkko signed this I might as well.... OVERLORD Ikaru - OVERLORD of Sol Kingdom, Master of TOOL-shakes, Forwardslasher of the Accent

Glad to see this worked out nicely. I'd much rather put off the war until January or so.

I'm hoping no one else did Heft yet....

Sometimes it means through. As in 12th through 5.00 and 12th through 10.00. That's actually what I first thought upon seeing it before deciding it was probably a minus.

The - is a minus, right?

How To Update The Sanction Race

Why does Poobah not have a !blame Poobah command? When will Argent be disbanding and transferring their NS to TOOL? Why do I never see fuzz227 on IRC?

I laughed at that. Not only spelling errors, but you can't make them not be a sanctioned alliance. That's editing the mechanics of the game. It'd be like DoWing on GRL and then nuking it.

It's me being too lazy to manage three colors (black being the third). Plus it used to be green way back in the day, and then people switched to black around when the nation counts were added in.

Nulled my vote. I'd like to see NPO get reasonable terms, but seeing how doubtful it is that that'll happen, if they can't have that I'd rather Karma straight up deny them terms and just run them into the ground. NPO was bad, but they at least deserve to go down with dignity.

A loss will come, don't worry. I don't know when or how big it'll be, but I know it will happen. ALSO: Got any problems with changing that Growlithe to an Arcanine? I prefer not to think of fellow CNers as cute, but Growlithes just make me think cute. :/

Thank you for unwittingly pointing out that I got UPN's member loss color wrong.

No color tags again. Gopherbashi and D34th both prove to be able to predict the future today, but D34th may be a little dissatisfied that New Polar Order's near quarter point gain isn't the biggest gain, falling short of Mostly Harmless Alliance and Monos Archein's .29 gains. Continuing in today's sanctioned alliances, The Democratic Order sports a gain of just over two tenths of a point while gaining ELEVEN nations (someone tell me I made an error in yesterday's update, that seems difficult to believe). Rounding out our look at the sanctioned alliances, Sparta and New Pacific Order both post losses of over a tenth of a point. Heading below the sanction line, we see The Grämlins coming within a point of The Order of Light and sanction, while Monos Archein makes another pass today, this time hopping over Global Alliance and Treaty Organization. Heading back up a little bit, both United Purple Nations and Mushroom Kingdom lose over a tenth of a point today. And finally Global Radiation Level continues its steady fall today, getting passed by Umbrella in the process. It's indeed possible that within a couple more days it could be out of the race. ALSO: I see you thar Ubercon, LOSS, and New Sith Order. ---------- Related Links: Stats By Unspeakable Evil Tournament Edition Sanction Race How To Update the Amazing Sanction Race Sanction Race Update Creator spreadsheet: http://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=pFd...rmXWQ&hl=en [/update] EDIT: UPN had green loss.
