Rebuild and be stronger. An alliance is only as strong as it strides to be.

I must say that the Libertarian Socialist Federation continues to be one of the most respectable alliances within Cyber Nations; not prone to irresponsible behavior and acts of insane stupidity. I do certainly congratulate your alliance on five years of existence. Continue your current path and behavior; you will be just fine.

Absolutely pointless thread.

[u]Two things:[/u] [b]I.[/b] 'Heh' at the Nordreich part. [b]II.[/b] 'LOL' at the LoSS part. LoSS is more anti-NPO than I think we even are. Though, I have not recently discussed NPO with them. So, they may actually absolutely adore them.

Nordreich would like to announce we are changing our theme to that of the Borg collective. Nah, not really... but it would be cool.

I still miss the alliance. It was one of those interesting dramas that things today cannot compare to. In fact, the old Cyber Nations (pre-2008) is 95% better than this current incarnation. Most old players like myself have stayed around only for their alliances and friends, not the actual game its self. o/ NAAC

I thought PIAT's and NAP's weren't announced? At any rate, congratulations to my partners in NAC.

Probably not.

I'll buy 10 votes for 2.5M, additionally, I want a love letter from Sardonic. In return, Nordreich Cuba, will consider a special Doomhouse message to be sent in reply. Offer expires in 20 minutes.

There is nothing wrong with GOONS and Umbrella wanting a senate seat. However... there's only 3 seats and 4 alliances wanting them. Competition. Let the games begin. [img]http://www.threadbombing.com/data/media/2/liz_lemon_dance.gif[/img] I sense fun times.

[quote name='Sardonic' timestamp='1302045458' post='2685039'] I see nothing wrong with a friendly senate voting competition, it's certainly more peaceable than what the old GOONS did, as I'm sure all are aware. OOC: Let's be honest, you are nutty Germanic roleplayers. It was however in extreme poor taste to compare you to Nazis, in any way shape or form, so on behalf of our membership, you have my apologies. I do not think anyone in government or otherwise who has truly analyzed your alliance considers you as such. Indeed, you have done a wonderful job purging all the visible elements of it from your alliance, so good job. Indeed, there were many posts in the thread amazed by how much work you had put into your recruiting pamphlet thing. [/quote] Thank you, see people, Sardonic is very level and intelligent. As I told you on IRC recently, GOONS has really altered my opinions of your alliance recently, truly. You are right though, we are quite psychotic and in love with graphics.

[quote name='Vladimir Nikanor' timestamp='1302029078' post='2684834'] Ah, it can certainly be viewed from that perspective, and that makes some sense. However we're quite aware of their schemes, and they are simply that...schemes. They have little reasoning behind them, and as such should be taken with a grain of salt. If I am to take GOONS seriously, they must first take myself and my alliance seriously. Time and time again they have proven to me that they have little if any order about them, and they impose their will through force rather than diplomacy. We have our initiatives, however they have been clearly spelled out many times in both public announcements, passing opinions, and even official documents. If people want to continue to call us Nazis, let them revel in their ignorance. Hell I even have intelligent conversations with members of INT and LSF because they've actually realized we're not Nazi blowhards that want to spread filth about the land. So it is my humble opinion that the knife you speak of does not lay in our backs, nor does it reside in the backs of our enemies. It lies waiting on the ground at our feet, waiting for an ignorant fool to come along, trip, and have it put them in their rightful place. OOC: GOONS do not take the game seriously, period. Negotiating with them in any case is simply not going to get anyone, anywhere. If they want to be ignorant as to who we truly are, so be it. Convincing people like this is simply an impossibility. I've seen their posts offsite, and needless to say they REALLY do not take this game the way I think it should be taken. They may be in a war with us, but I don't have to like them. America and the Soviet Union technically fought alongside each other during the Second World War, but that does not mean they trusted each other. You're a smart guy though ChairmanHal, so I know you haven't passed this by with just a glance. [/quote] I think we should ignore everything and take Cyber Nations less seriously. Perhaps we should start attacking a big alliance. Perhaps we should scream BONZAI!!! as we run forward with our tinfoil helmets on and pants down... [size="1"]No reference to the Tinfoil Helmet Veterans of Foreign Conspiracies general membership[/size]

This has been dealt with in private via PM's and queries on IRC, almost a week ago. However, alliances besides GOONS may be unaware of it.

[quote name='Brehon' timestamp='1301956478' post='2684247'] Due to the seriousness of Cortaths RL commitments (and thus extremely limited availability here) we needed to announce it to our Body Republic first. Even this took two days due to availability of Cortath. We could have done a serious business on the 31th, but we were actually in talks with Doomhouse. So while it may not have been appreciated by the world to find out in this fashion, it was simply the way the events unfolded. If you feel left out in any way, I can only apologize, Emperor Mary and I are still working on getting to everyone, whether you are friend, neutral or foe. There has been a lot of talk about how various members of the NPO are poking sticks (or whatever phrase you wish to turn) at Mushroom Kingdom attempting to goad them into conflict. I find all of this absolutely silly to claim (on either side). We are at war, people are going to say things on both sides. Waging some type of moral campaign on it is so tiring its beyond words. When such is done outside of war, that too to some degree is to be expected, we don't have even close to a sound relationship with MK (and vice versa). The funny thing is you (MK) now have some of the very members whom were most vocal against you now vocal for your side. Am I pointing fingers? No, I am pointing out it is just how some people act and the only power they get from it, is when the other side reacts. The only thing that disappoints or unexpected is when a leader (read gov member) decides to take part in such venting. Sure you could point out Sir Pauls tabloid, but he defines such publications openly as such. If there is an issue in this any government member from any alliance wishes to speak about, I extend a welcome to come talk to me or the Emperor about it. But all of us need to stop and ask: Is whatever said about us worth the attention we are giving it? Or do we just need a tissue and a nap? I don't know about you, but I know I sometimes fall into the latter. But seriously, stop being so serious about everything. Have some fun. [/quote] Thank you for the clarifications. I wish Cortath the best.

A treaty serves as a formalization of relations between two alliances, NOIR has served its purpose, the little purpose there was. Nordreich and League of Small Superpowers entered into this treaty as a recognition of our friendship, common goals, ideals and visions for the future. Not one to 'claim the credit' I will need to state that if you want to know in-depth details, look no further than the leadership of our two alliances. Or, you can ask me. Regardless of the views of some, this relationship is quite the positive note for our two alliances. Formalization in public just made it official. Regards, Cuba

I certainly hope Cortath is okay. He has been quite inactive recently. Is everything alright with him? Congratulations on your new Emperor. Regards, Cuba

[quote name='LordSlade' timestamp='1301943288' post='2684102'] This is what happens when you beat a foreign alliance's rep at a game of Survivor....you sign a treaty with them. [/quote] It just wasn't right. I was voted out in R1, didn't even have a chance!

I'll do it in PM.

Yeah, we know about the senate solution.

I am finally happy. Thanks to everyone who participated in the talks, months of discussions and the efforts of everyone on both sides to make this happen.

Personally, I find all of this banter about LoSS in their birthday thread to be rather distasteful. Surely all of this can be continued in a private message? Leave the irrelevant crap out of a otherwise nice thread. Seriously. It's not very diplomatic. Whether or not those here are diplomats or not, is entirely not the point.

Sitting in his office, Kanzler Stitten receives a telephone call from the Minister of War, notifying him of the incursion of German troops across the border, in all regions. Realizing the dire situation and the state of the economic and military power of Norsvea, Stitten assembles his advisors and after many hours of debate and suggestive actions, the monarchy has decided it is in the best interest of the survival of the government and those loyal to the crown, for the immediate surrender of the armed forces to Germany proper. Kanzler Stitten has ordered a complete demobilization of all troops and the opening of military storage facilities for inspection by German forces. "It is with the deepest sorrow that today, the crown has abdicated power to a foreign government. In the best interests of our own survival, realizing the northern links we share with our eastern neighbor, Germany, the armed forces of Norsvea hereby surrender to those arraigned against us. The government will now move to a posture of restructuring, in a new capital city elsewhere in the lands... so permitting by our friends to the east. It is with this, that I wish all of the citizens of Norsvea safety and peace. We will meet again, soon." After giving his speech, Kanzler Stitten could be seen visibly shaken and distraught by the whole affair as he silently, slowly walked down the hall, unaccompanied by his staff or guards, towards the balcony of the state room. He has gone into seclusion for the time.
