  1. Announcement from \m/, Poison Clan, FOK! and New Polar Order

    Let them keep their delusions.

    And theoretically with good SDI luck, conservation of nukes as well as warchests, and focus firing, they could last that long. I doubt that they would plan that far ahead though and forsee nukes running low within a month, not years.

    Lets just say there are certain TOP members who can buy 2000 nukes(at the max price) or more with their current warchests, I know personally mine is nearly as much as I've spent all time on my nation

  4. An Open Letter to Archon:

    in Open World RP

    Posted

    Dear Archon:

    Thank you. Thank you for being our leader. Thank you for allowing us the honor of following you in this browser-based game.

    You did it. You won the game. You won CyberNations, the game that cannot be won. You did not win it like Moo did. You did not suppress or conquer CyberNations through conquest. You won the respect of every individual who plays this game and has an ounce of sense or recognition for greatness.

    Archon, you have pulled us through it all. I have been in the Mushroom Kingdom for over two years. I joined shortly after we finished paying reparations from the Unjust War. I joined in a community that did not know if it would exist tomorrow. Because of this, we bound together toward one goal: to one day being lifted from the diplomatic blacklist that we were so unjustly and unreasonably put on. To this end, we knew that we would need to take on the New Pacific Order. To this end, we knew we would one day face the world.

    And face the world we did. We faced the Hegemony head-on in a decisive battle that we had no chance of winning. And because of this, we cultured an environment that did not care about the game. Rather, we were a community that existed outside the game, but still played it in unity.

    Of course, we lost that war. We went on to win the bigger one, however. Karma: the war that was to change it all. However, after the conclusion of Karma, the treaty web was once again polarized. Definitive sides were forming, sides that revealed themselves in the wake of The War That Was Not: the Blue Balls War. After the dust of that conflict settled, it looked as though CyberNations was heading into a cold war.

    Then again, sometimes, things take an unexpected turn for the worse. With the outbreak of the \m/oralist War, the Kingdom found itself in a political position that was the opposite of what we had become accustomed to in the Dark Ages. Rather than finding ourselves without friends and against the world, we found ourselves with too many friends and against friends.

    You took this situation and deftly turned it to our advantage. You mediated between our allies. You took the brunt of trolling and attacks on the Kingdom. “Why do you not protect your allies? Why did you sign too many treaties?” Yet you knew that our strength came from what they decried. You realized the political clout you held with our allies and friends was our greatest strength. And with this power and influence, you, among others, bartered peace between old friends. And if it were not for the mistakes of other alliances and other leaders, that would have been the end of it.

    But that will not be the case. The opposite side of the treaty web made the mistake to attack us directly, and for no good reason other than that we are a threat. If history has taught you anything, Archon, it is that you do not stop an enemy in the middle of making a mistake. Now, the sides that were meant to be in The War That Was Not have formed, but this time, the scales are largely in our favor.

    Archon, for the years that I've served under you, I've wondered why not every member in CyberNations would want to be in the alliance that you lead. And now, if more people are not wondering that same question, I'd be shocked. You took the worst diplomatic position that the Kingdom had been in for a long time and you turned it into a huge advantage. You deftly made one of the greatest political moves in the history of this game.

    And for that, I thank you. Thank you for being worthy of the dedication your members give you. Thank you for being everything we think of you to be, and more. Thank you for winning the game for us.

    To our allies in Complaints and Grievances: Thank you for standing by us through the Dark Ages. Without your support, dedication, and willingness to sacrifice yourself for your friends, we are now one of the premiere blocs of CyberNations. If, at our inception, people had said we would reach this level of influence within the time that we have, the world would have scoffed. Thank you for helping us prove them wrong.

    To SirWilliam: Thank you for being our Princess and our voice. Without you, Archon would have a much harder time controlling his alliance.

    To MagicalTrevor: I'm sorry we give you so much flak. I'm sure that without you, this diplomatic victory would have been impossible. Much credit goes to you for that.

    To the rest of the High Lords: You are the best at what you do. You are what allow us in the Mushroom Kingdom retain our smugness. You justify our arrogence.

    To the general public of the Kingdom: We, in my opinion, truly are the greatest community that's spawned from this game. We are a diverse crowd that is able to put aside differences and focus on our long-term goals. We are the foundation of one of the greatest alliances CyberNations has ever seen.

    To our allies and friends elsewhere: Thank you for everything you have done for us. Thank you for letting bygones be bygones and focusing on the big picture and the true threats. Without you, we would be fighting amongst ourselves, rather than focusing on those who wish us harm.

    To AlmightyGrub: I hold much respect for you, and am proud to call you an ally. You stood up for what you believe in, but were able to put differences aside when we really needed it. Without you, this war would not be the unified effort it is right now.

    To those friends on the opposite side of the treaty web: Enjoy the fight. Remember that it's a game. Let's have fun with it.

    To those we are fighting: Someone on your side made a mistake. For this, I am sorry. May Admin have mercy on your soul, for Archon, our god-king, will have none.

    To CyberNations: We are the Mushroom Kingdom. We won this game. Thank you for your undying love and adoration.

    Just remember that TOP previously won the game, and before that it was NPO, don't get complacent, good luck.

  12. Best Alliance Flag

    in Open World RP

    Posted

    From all those flags I like FOK and FAN's most. I think TOP could do much better (Sorry guys). The platypus could be capitalized on much more. Put it in the middle, stop doing the 2 triangle thingies. Just think of something else with orange and black. Those two colours are a good match but not in this flag.

    our flag is 3 years old and just think about how long it would take to get a new flag approved at TOP speed

  14. Best Alliance Flag

    in Open World RP

    Posted

    I was just cringing at the NPO flag.

    Solid Colors. NpO's flas has far too many lines. Star and globe are ugly. As for the others,

    FOK-The Dutch flag, with a lion. Looks nice, but no points for creativity there.

    VE-The IJN ensign, but with two colors that go terribly and a poorly rendered thing inside the 'sun'.

    FAN-Having images that detailed on flags is usually pretty ugly, the random thin yellow stripes don't help either. Does get points for being instantly recognizable and distinct.

    IAA-The colors don't mix well together; the white space looks terrible, as does the thingy in the center. Stars and olive branch don't match well.

    TOP-Orange and black. That's unfortunate. Also, the placement of the skull is awful- no good flag has the emblem in the lower right.

    Skull? Skull? Skull? :o:huh:

    Also, for those complaining that TOP's was included in this poll check the results thus far of this poll...

  18. Superpowers?

    in Open World RP

    Posted

    Basically, TOP :P

    But those are the biggest factors. Stats and allies make a decent superpower in this game.

    I like to think of superpowers as a nation (alliance ig) that controls such a degree of power it successfully influences others in its way(as both the US/USSR did, and much of the reason the U.S. is not liked throughout much of the middle east) Because of this, I would like to think that TOP is not a Superpower, and believe that the membership of TOP has no intent on becoming such.

  19. Congratz to TOP!

    in Open World RP

    Posted · Edited by jstep

    Edit: and just to make this more relevant to the general debate: up until TOP entered this war, I had not been in any offensive wars (probably because the enemies were all !@#$%*^) and I gained NS (through tech and land even though I was nuked). Then came TOP with Jenavia, Dr.Dan and a smaller nation (mea culpa for not remembering your name mate) and really tore me a new one, doing regular quads, making use of the nukes GOD still dropped on me and then the second round came (with Jaymay and others attacking me) and I was beginning to get tired and for the first time I turtled 3 days of those wars until I could get into peace because no one was interested in renewing my wars.

    It's not like anyone who believes TOP and Echelon are bestest of buds and have secretly made a pact during this war will listen to me.... but I owe it to TOP anyway, great bunch of fighters and good sports during the times I've met 'em :).

    For the record I had a bigger nation tha Dr.Dan :P

    The spin put on jones' statements by TOP sickens me. Why not try to refute a little? Or you could keep playing it safe and acknowledge that there was more you could do while trying to turn it into a PR move to make jones look like a jerk.

    If you were President Obama, and someone made a statement that you were building a secret army of aliens, you have two choices. 1. Ignore it/laugh it off and it goes away. 2. Respond to it and legitimize a statement you know to be both absurd and kind of funny.

    Which do you choose?

  24. The Amazing Sanction Race

    in Open World RP

    Posted

    Indeed, most number 1 alliances tend to get beat down at some point. :awesome:

    Thats why we are trying to pass it on to someone soon NpO/IRON/MHA/Sparta are all good candidates who will be close soon imo (IRON a little bit after the others, but I think they will rebuild very quickly)
