This war was a PB/DH ploy to weaken all our rivals while we collect stats.

[quote name='Schad' timestamp='1324110019' post='2880437'] If those states existed in a world where global war was -- relatively -- common, and they comprised somewhere in the range of 15% of the world's total strength, they too would be eyed pretty warily, whether or not they took an aggressive political tack. In terms of what IR framework can be best applied to CN, while I think that offensive realism is a loathsome, near-suicidal doctrine in reality (well, post-1850 reality, at least), it does pretty much work here. Power maximization and the pursuit of the position of hegemon is the name of the game, cooperation is generally fleeting and the bonds easily broken as political units maneuver each other to best advantage, and it is very much a zero sum game in which the costs of successfully prosecuting a war are typically smaller than the gain in power experienced by the victor. [/quote] Destroying actors that think that power maximization is the name of the game is the name of the game post-Karma BN is led by hegemon wannabe scum! Really though, I think you have it backwards, bigger is better in RL, where as in this game it can lead to stagnation and competitive deficits.

This is due a upgrade.

TOP gets all the fun.

Nuking nations twice in the same day, peace exploits, what is next BN? Not even NPO was this bad.

Where do you fall on the scale, MCXA?

The circle is complete. This is now GOD vs Pork Shrimp (Asgaard/BN/SC/NEAT) [img]http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20090105003648/cybernations/images/thumb/1/18/Pork_Shrimp.gif/250px-Pork_Shrimp.gif[/img]

Holy hell, that just happened. GATO, that video was awesome.

This was a strategical move meant to move this coalition one step closer to victory. It is a world war and if you are a political playa then play with your eyes wide open. Anyway, here is to a good, clean fight. o/ DOOMHOUSE For those lurking on the sidelines thinking to slip stealthily away from their obligations... [img] http://i.imgur.com/bpPgg.png[/img]

That Death guy has gotten really good at propaganda. I am, quite frankly, impressed.

Things are still refining. All is well.

Whelp, Nordic Ballers doing work! I'm so jelly

Kochers, your effort is not unappreciated

So dreary
