[quote name='Krunk the Great' timestamp='1295533703' post='2586293'] You were too busy trolling the improvements Timeline wanted to make with your head so far up his butt you couldn't stop and look at anything else. I wouldn't expect someone who can't even build his nation to understand. [/quote] reserving comment on timeline since i am back in MCXA, but if i was trolling him becasue i disliked his ideas, why would my head be up his butt? is it just that you have such a poor grasp on the english language that you have no clue what falls out of your mouth, ever? you claim that i don't know how to build a nation, yet you're the one that blew his entire warchest in order to pick up a measly 200infra. so you had a 3200infra nation, zero wonders, zero warchest, and started buying tech. you sound like a real winner in a footrace. how is going rogue working for you? 240infra and you finally picked up a wonder? epic fail

[quote name='Krunk the Great' timestamp='1295491746' post='2584758'] Can I help it if the people who left over me were so butthurt over preserving the internal status quo (And that I wouldn't just genuflect before their Alliance Seniority) that they will not listen when a voice says its broken and offers a solution? As I recall, NO ONE offered an actual alternative to my plans and they were better than the status quo at the very least. I don't recall you ever offering a decent, non ridiculous, solution to much of anything. Especially in the MoD. [/quote] your campaign and practices once elected were so memorable, i haven't any idea at all what you did while in office besides edit people's posts. like i said, only memorable for being thick headed and a poor leader.

i didn't foresee someone from MCXA government going rogue in the middle of their term just to ghost another alliance and cause a stir in a "this is how i quit" moment of tiny-balled-fist rage. but it doesn't surprise me that you plan on rerolling already. spare yourself from responding to me; it's refreshing to see you leave MCXA, considering several people left because of your utter mockery of intellect when people tried to explain anything to you.

[quote name='x Tela x' date='12 March 2010 - 03:18 PM' timestamp='1268425422' post='2223554'] It's evident that people just won't let Caffine move on. [/quote]you can build a thousand bridges, and people know you're a bridge builder; you screw one goat, and you're branded for life.

[quote name='Caffine1' date='11 March 2010 - 11:25 PM' timestamp='1268368275' post='2222958'] Give me a break, don't bring up old grudges here, especially in very poorly researched arguments. [/quote] oh, so i guess i can repost the logs that you bandied about to garner attention? please, it would be degrading. look around you, caffine. all i see is old grudges. old grudges kept me out of echelon when there was a clause that i could never hold a political office- and that was of my own volition. when i need another lesson on how to carry a grudge, i'll apply at echelon again.

[quote name='Otherworld' date='11 March 2010 - 10:55 PM' timestamp='1268366469' post='2222919'] From personal experienece I know caf can be blunt... but can you please provide any logs to show where he was unreasonable in dealing with this as I personally have not seen any. [/quote]from personal experience as a former leader of your alliance, he's an unreasonable person. i'm sure that a lot of the minions in echelon are blinded by the aura of his genius, but there's a good reason that a manipulative person was not allowed to hold a government position in echelon. [quote name='Mr Damsky' date='11 March 2010 - 10:57 PM' timestamp='1268366596' post='2222924'] Oh Jesus Christ, grow a spine people. Holy Mother of Admin. [/quote]PC made a firm statement regarding the acting MoFA because of his aptitude in his job. how is this spineless? [quote name='Kilkenny' date='11 March 2010 - 11:01 PM' timestamp='1268366785' post='2222929'] You don't suppose the quick edit had anything to do with the fact that you raided their protectorate based on that wiki?? And they quickly fixed it so they didn't continue to have this problem?? Glad to see once again that PC can be shamed into doing the right thing. [/quote]the FA team in Echelon could have done a little better job with keeping their protectorates documented. a quick edit after the fact and then lies about the timing is pretty bad form.

if you only knew them

caffine tends to worm his way into stuff, talk to people as if he had more authority, and generally be a !@#$%. when i was in echelon, he was running all kinds of snooping programs on irc and impersonating various members of government. when he insisted on sitting in on peace talks or pre-war talks, he would always run his mouth about the most retarded minutia.essentially, the leaders and members of echelon should be able to simply not vote him into office, but because they are unwilling... there's a reason for it. it's sad, but necessary.

remember when he brought CN to gat and then jaymay attacked him and nobody cared? those were the days.

not reading 36 pages, but: it's amusing when other alliances see the destructive ignorance behind this guy. caffine can hate on me all he wants, but when i was in GAT, then GAT-ITEC, then Echelon, he always had to have his way, and he aided in making a bad situation worse. so it doesn't surprise me that he's called out here. good luck to you, caffine, but god help any alliance you get into.

and my humble apologies for not addressing it before, but everyone i fought against had a lot of honour in their wars against me, grand patriarch aside. MCXA went through a lot leading up to this war, and not that it's an excuse, but it added further complication to a situation some people just weren't ready for. someone mentioned "culling the herd". well, yeah. not to be cynical, but it really did have that effect. seeing a sanctioned alliance, a lot of people join for the protection that provides. grand patriarch, for example: had he attacked me before i had been anarchied, before i had no troops, before i sent off 15mil so the other people hitting on me couldn't steal it from a 2500NS nation, before he joined Sith- i would have mopped the floor with him. but not every nation in my alliance had an obscene warchest going into the war. not every nation was prepared enough to handle what went down. things need to change, and will. the war left a bad taste in people's mouths, about preparedness, about treaties, etc. things will change.

with your (first) nation, you weren't in an alliance and were tech raided by an MCXA nation. that nation was given funds as part of a growth program, and he used them to fight you. so he wrecked house, and you rerolled. so you carried a grudge against an entire alliance, declared war on myself and others, admitting to me that your wars were opportunistic:"I never joined another alliance, to my belief that I will have to resolve this grudge alone, by my own power. And today, THE GODS BLESS THE KARMA WAR, I am able to wage war with righteousness." your own words, used against you. and yes, i demanded reps from you of 3mil and 100tech and that i would personally ZI you because of your ridiculous war against me. i did several hours before this treaty was signed, because you demanded my alliance surrender to you and offer pay you reps of 1mil: "Most importantly, your alliance will offer me 1,000,000 in reparations for the damage done to my nation by your alliance." so you demanded reps be offered on behalf of a nation that doesn't even exist. ok. i offer your currently non-existent nation reparations of 1,000,000. and yes, i asked that other nations declare on you because you were obviously lacking some mental faculties, but you had balls to gnash your teeth and make demands that cannot be fulfilled in any way, shape, or form. what if i'm lying about being shockingly ignorant? you left because you didn't get your way in overthrowing the government, so i would classify you as irrelevant. you do realize that providing screenshots of our forum will only bring about spy allegations.

one treaty we canceled. three treaties pulled out from under us. we were so active about cutting our options. i have plenty of faith in my government. they were negotiating with what?- eight alliances to get these terms hammered out. my post wasn't about trolling, so i'm advising you to stop advising me, i guess.and more advise i don't need. TSO was a large chunk of MCXA's government. they were found out to be undermining the alliance by forming their own new alliance within MCXA. people called for their expulsion, they left. why split hairs? further, i never mentioned any other conflict, but i'll take it under advisement not to mention any petty affairs of the past.

ahh. missed those terms in the fray, what with all the rebuilding projects i've been planning in the shelter under my capitol building.

hahaha i'll leave this one alone, since you don't even care what you're fighting for, apparently. and yeah, i'd know it. but you'd be hard pressed to get nations into my range. public opinion waxes and wanes. if the opinion falls away from one ideology that previous governments embraced, the current leaders adapt to the new circumstances, even if it goes against their own preferences. since we've a democratically run government and all that fancy stuff. everyone has been getting white peace: no terms. everyone just stops fighting. MCXA is basically the first alliance to take one in the keister, so to speak.

i thought karma's kick was to stop the senseless terms of mass payments of tech, etc. good to see a reversal of this policy, especially since it goes right back to embracing what you're fighting against. everyone that was in government when we sided with NPO is now running TSO. after ejecting them, we got dragged into this because of long-standing treaties. but i guess you watched the documentary already.

sup4 made it past our screening process, but we corrected that.

grats on peace, guys.

my nation was on it's 20th day of inactivity because i was saving for collection, and i had planned on collecting when i got off work today at 7pm EST. tried logging in, and it says that my user name isn't valid. i had been informed by alliances i'd been in in the past that as long as i collect on the 20th day, i would be ok. and as long as i didn't wait until it actually became the 21st day, i would be able to collect taxes. so did i just lose my nation or what? it's still five hours until update, yet the site is telling me that my nation doesn't exist. any help is appreciated.

haha echelon is always full of good times. o/ echelon

it's an improvement-wide bug, apparently. i cannot destroy any of my improvements, and was going to come here and post with images. i'm glad you did so already, as t saves me 30 seconds of hosting and pasting the images myself. cheers.

"solider efficiency level indicated how well" should be: "solider efficiency level indicates how well" present tense sentence should have the 's' vice the past tense 'd'.

heh, i missed that one.
