The level of illiteracy in this thread is appalling. One should do more than glance at the original post before saying anything in a thirteen-page thread.
That said, I second the recommendation of an apology to the NAAC community. It'll do well to put an end to this silliness, at least for most, and it's unlikely you'll be relieved of AirMe's threat, whatever it entails, without doing at least that.
To anyone else who would consider posting in this thread, I can't stress enough how important it is to read Chozo's post, if nothing else. If you're too impatient even for that, then your input is unnecessary.
A rare public announcement from LordChozo:As a member of NAAC from a month after its inception until present, I have never heard of Jack Diorno until today. He has never been involved with the alliance, and his current actions serve no practical in-game purpose other than to attempt to instigate raids and attacks on the two of us, particularly myself, who leave well-enough alone.
I wish nothing more than to steadily and gradually progress my nation for no other reason than to see it grow. I have never, in the past 2+ years, initiated aggressive action against anyone, though I have been the target of aggressions myself. I have rebuilt from ZI at least three times in that span. This Jack Diorno, whoever he is, apparently is gunning to have me do it a fourth time. I can't say I'm too thrilled about that.
The NAAC has never "died," in the sense that its legacy remains alive and healthy. This thread is testament to that, judging by the acerbic reactions the majority of you have had to Jack's announcement - one he has no right to make. The point has been made a few times that it is inane to "recreate" an AA with existing members - I add to that point the further absurdity of attempting to resurrect an AA that, since its inception, has never ceased to exist in-game.
That has been my sworn duty, and to perform it I have sacrificed any chance of becoming a "powerful" nation, including (obviously) a solid interest or even awareness of current world events on Planet Bob. I have made sure to log in often enough to prevent auto-deletion, even when abroad in China for an extended period of time without internet (had to "borrow" a hotel computer), because that is simply what I must do. For those who were never part of the NAAC (or those honored enemies who waged great wars against us over the years), especially including Jack, you can never understand this.
Your attempts at resurrecting the NAAC will fail. This is evident from the sheer fact that you made a public announcement about it. You might rally the ignorant to your side, but do you really think the people who matter in this ordeal don't know who I am? Do you really think the majority of the people who want to destroy your nation won't leave mine (and the other one) alone? Do you really think people will listen to you above the wishes of all the former NAAC leaders who wish for it to rest in peace?
This was not simply a misguided insult to AirMe, but was an insult to the intelligence and integrity of the entirety of Planet Bob. Get off my AA, bub. You don't deserve it.
Also, a lock would be nice. I think this thread has run its course.

This is no kick at airme
Call it a slap, then. Or just an insult, better still. It doesn't make the charade any more or less amusing to me, to be honest.
I plan to uphold the way of the NAACOops.
-
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think killing the original NAAC (you) is just slightly more dishonorable then breathing life into it once again (me).
You are mistaken. The NAAC remains alive to this day by the people who created and upheld its legacy. I know several people who keep it alive by their respect for this legacy, many of whom never even knew the alliance firsthand. You are not one of these people.
I would ask you not to make cheap amusement for yourself out of a culture I contributed to and hold dear, but the simple fact of the matter is that you don’t give a damn about the culture. You read enough about the NAAC to realize exploiting its arctic gimmick was the simplest way to draw something of a connection beyond the use of its name, but authenticity is ultimately only important for its added weight to the kick between AirMe’s legs.
It’d be just dandy if no one used the NAAC’s name as a showpiece, but I still find myself sympathizing more with the former member drawing a comparison than the ignorant man parading around with something he’s never had any connection to for the sake of a personal attack. Granted, a thread entitled “To AirMe, Regarding Your Commentary on the Reformation of \m/” containing the text “I disagree” or even a well-constructed rebuttal wouldn’t have caused as much controversy, but it would have been much more straightforward.

Good stuff.
I'm finally free of that damned office.

I love it.

Babyjesus and I were victims of Canadian hatred. The MoT were not under the GR policy of "fair and competitive".
Hanging chads are a !@#$%*.

Last night, the polls across Greenland came to a close and there was great anticipation as her citizens waited for the votes to be tallied. Eventually, it was confirmed that Al and his running mate Shamedmonkey won their second term as Archon and Vice Archon of the Greenland Republic. With the exception of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, all departments of the Republic saw the election of new leaders this month and there is much enthusiasm for the potential of this fresh lineup. Also new to government this month is Paulpig, who recently joined the Republic with the rest of Avalanche; after Kestral took over the Ministry of Defense, he filled her place in the Senate.
Of course, the most exciting news is always the Minister of Trains election. This month brought us quite the upset, possibly related to the numerous reports of faulty ballots. The lack of votes in this particular category may lend credence to these reports, but all requests for a recount have been denied.
Doitzel - 7Archon - 5
Babyjesus - 1
Drai - 1
It is with great pleasure that I appoint Doitzel as the Greenland Republic's new Minister of Trains for the months of August and September, 2009. In other news, Electron Sponge retains his position as Admiral of the Iceberg Floatilla as no candidates were allowed to challenge him.
August 2009 Greenland Republic Government
Archon: Al

Cheers, Greenland.

I, for one, am eagerly anticipating round two. Please do not disappoint, Pacifica;)
I fear you've miscounted there, old friend. In any case, the journey to the next round is the fun part—even if it does mean I'll have to get my head comfortable between a boot and the mud somewhere along the way once more.
Well, cheers to the present.

I remember how much GR was against a treaty with ODN only a few months ago. I guess relations have improved since I've been gone.
That or they tricked us somehow. To be honest, I don't remember signing this; I just woke up at my desk one day with ink on my fingers and orange juice on my breath.

Orange Julius Accords
Preamble
In the interests of strengthening peaceful relations, Greenland Republic, herein referred to as "GR", and Orange Defense Network, herein referred to as "ODN", agree to the following:
Article I: Peace
This one is pretty self-explanatory. No attacking, spying, or otherwise aggressive action shall go on between the two signatories. The undersigned agree to remain courteous in public and to resolve any disputes posthaste via private channels. In the event of a rogue attack, the undersigned agree to reparate the rogued upon alliance in twice the sum of the damages incurred.
Article II: Intelligence
Should either of the undersigned obtain information that could even potentially be harmful to the other party, they agree that said information should be shared immediately, though the source of the information may remain undisclosed, at the informing party's discretion.
Article III: Communism
The undersigned respect that while one party may not have financial troubles, the other may well. The wealthier party hereby pledges to honour any aid requests from the not-wealthier party, because communism rocks.
Article IV: Optional Defense
In the event that either party finds itself aggressed upon, the aggressed party may petition the non-aggressed party for assistance against the aggressor. It is not necessary for the non-aggressed party to commence aggressive actions against the original aggressor; however, I digress.
Article V: Cxl'n
Both the Greenland Republic & Orange Defense Network agree that, should this commitment become unviable, they will give the other party at least one (1) fortnight of notice prior to the effective cxl'n of this pact, excepting when one party has violated Article I. In this most unfortunate of cases, no cxl'n period applies. After sixty (60) days, each party may review this treaty and ponder an upgrade.
Signed for the Orange Defense Network:
Arsenal, Secretary General
Sunstar, Assistant Secretary General and Brass Keytarist
Bullshirt, Secretary of Defense
James Davis, Secretary of State
Merlin, Secretary of Economics
Nemo249, Secretary of the Interior
ODN Senate XXX,
Cataduanes, Franklin, Joracy, Twizzler, Zessa
Signed for the Greenland Republic:
Al, Archon
Shamedmonkey, Vice-Archon and Resident Loudmouth
Virillus, Minister of Defence
Ilselu1, Minister of Foreign Affairs
Kosherness, Minister of Finance
Acid, Minister of Interior
GR Senate [lost count],
Wurzel, Gn0x, Cripple, Kestral, Jenker

It's about time, too. Cheers to friendship.
Section IV is my favorite portion of the treaty.
-
I hate Chim. Also, Drai has caused a drastic drop in MK. GR want him back?
Nah, you can keep him.
-
May our friendship continue to grow. Cheers.
-
On these forums, Al is Altarctica. He had the first response to Celtic's topic.
Thus the recent addition to my signature. I had hoped it would clear up some of this confusion.

Happy birthday NAAC.
January 17th.

Another fine example of our characteristically fair and competitive elections.
Greenland prevails.

I say, I'm quite sure if we offer the jam thief a, perhaps more civilized way out he will repay us in kind and in the process become a model citizen of society, indeed.
Splendid idea, old bean.
-
Indeed, we can always buy more jam, and perhaps invite the thief to our next party. GOD I LOVE MAKING FRIENDS
Whoever he may be, I dare say the thief has some manner of good taste at the very least.
-
Is all this ruckus over jam thievery absolutely necessary? I would much prefer to enjoy a simple cup of tea in peace.
-
God you people need to learn your limits
If my current engagements constituted my limit, I would be sorely disappointed in myself. My warchest has actually undergone a net increase since the war started and I still have not been attacked by any countering forces. This is getting dull.
-
We march.
-
That means that I have to get back onto esper, don't I?
Yes.
-
The NAAC lives on in our hearts and minds.
Also, Gopher, today is the day.
This man speaks the truth. Gopher, you can still join the party; just stop by the NAAC's old channel. The celebration continues throughout the day and well into the night with socializing in general and radio in particular.
-
You shall never be forgotten.
Take care, Celtic.
