Today must be a sad day for FAN members everywhere.

If this is a joke it fails, and if it is serious it fails even more.
I dare say I've never seen Pacifica or Polaris joke, this answers itself.

Isn't everyone glad the evil of \m/ is gone from CN and CN is once again pure of bullying?
Watching the discourse this weekend it's like you never left.
-
Oh lord, are we going to have more calls for GATO's death again so soon.
-
Good to see fresh elections, and everyone seems to have gone coup crazy.

o/ our NpO brothers and sisters! Also grats ODN, good solid allies are awesome!

My nation is about 500 days old... Rather it's only about 200-300 days old as I didn't care for the politics in my first 200 days. I just kinda sat there like a typical newb letting the alliance take me wherever and generally stood away from the forums because I simply didn't care. Now, it's a whole different ball game once you shape up to the game, the community, and the politics. Some people really hit the nail with the head of the hammer about when a year ago, nations weren't that big and nukes really did destroy others. I barely remember the 3 (or was it 6) Legionnaires attacking the 12-18 NPOers with nukes and just quitting. Rogues really did impact alliances with nukes then and they still do today - say a nation is attacking 3 other nations and is getting attacked by 3 nations in defense for their comrades. That one nation could launch up to six nukes a day whereas the other nations targeting him (or her) can only launch one. It should be one nuclear launch per day favoring team work and coordination over rogues and Rambo's. Then again, I'm probably about to get told otherwise.
Also, if anyone has any records of the alliances that were sanction during the Triassic Period (pre-GW2 / pre-GWI), that would be great. I'd heard of Cybernations Wikia, but some kind of chart with all that data would be the greatest following the rise and downfall of alliances.
Arguably that change would highly benefit large alliances. If a small alliance wants to retain it's ability to defend itself or attacking, being able to nuke spread yourself along three nations and any nations attacking you and filling your defensive slots will get pummeled. While 20 nukes is only really enough to hit a full spread of nations 3 times each, it turns into about 4 times each if you have the monetary reserves and the uranium trade to back it up. The way the current system works as a force multiplier for smaller, nuke heavy alliances, taking that away would invariably make smaller alliances easier targets, considering smaller alliances probably contain the same number of nations in the large sanctioned alliances, you'd be hurting one segment of the gaming population to the benefit of another.
Though I don't doubt Kevin would probably add that feature if plied.

Wow, Vlad just settled that point thoroughly.
-
Yeah, the tides of war are ever changing, that's just how it goes. But the only thing the UJP could have probably hoped for was the ancillary alliances to drop out, only marginally decreasing ~'s overall advantage. They wouldn't have gotten the Orders and their strong allies to back down on this.
-
Yeah the ability to fight in GWI was very limited except with CMs and Nukes, however it mattered little because of the small strengths comparatively to today. Any attack then was doing a lot more damage because nations didn't have the sheer power they do today. Some alliances were barely the size of what some alliance's top 5, 10 or 20 are now with hundreds of members.
And we had the whole fallout problem that started just before GWI started off.
The Orders took a beating only because they were besieged upon all sides, however like I said, they don't give up their resolve, and that allowed them to tactically win the conflict; because their resolve shook and ultimately broke the cohesion and resolve of the forces set against them.

You remind me of my uncle Al.
:lol: You know I
you since you joined the NPO, it brings out your best side. -
So no, the NPO has never had to rebuild at the level the GATO did, or that FAN will have to. Nor did they ever face the choice that \m/ had to.
A. It's a hell of a lot harder to build back when your entire alliance is sub 1M ns with some 400-600 members, iirc that it was the membership number in the NPO during/after GWI. Their rebuilding was much more monumental than probably anything GATO could accomplish.
B. FAN will probably learn to be highly efficient for growth from their future rebuilding, it probably strengthens FAN in the long run, and they'll learn not to place trust in people that are only really there for the protection while they participate in tech raiding.
C. NPO and the NpO will never have to face the choice \m/ did, because they would rather choose to fight to the death, no matter the circumstances.
People need to stop trying to compare the NPO to any other alliance, they're the dominant force for the reason, because they'll accept nothing less, and won't back down when challenged, ever.

Hey FAN <3 See yah around Christmas, I'll bring the egg nog. We can get drunk and hit on Thorne.
-
And being the good Capitalists that we are, Nak's authoring services are always available for a price. :lol:
-
GOONS and Gen[m]ay are probably more likely to go down the FAN route, though will probably not be nearly as tenacious or stay in as long as FAN did/is still doing. Who knows with \m/.
-
The Great GOONS diaspora?
You'll be missed.
-
This war was bigger.
GWIII was more epic.
Coming from someone flying the Legion AA, yeah, I don't think epic would be the ummm...proper word choice for it.
-
No one honours NAP's nowadays anyways.
Still takes us a week to cancel them, so they mean something to us.
-
HO! I must also support the words in the OP, please let us keep any pacts we may have with friends that entered into this conflict. I would extend this to the FCC's NAPs however, cause they're the closest thing we have to GPA/MAD's pacts, and they actually are pretty important to us.
-
what? I thought you came over from Jhouse and Rich talking about it on PWIC or our original thread from PW!!
OOC: OOC tags are your friend.
And Space, not entirely sure your assessment would be correct, as all people you'd have to go through the applicant screening, of which this recent incident would probably be pretty hard to let pass, but you can try.

I see your meme and raise you a mutation.

Can't take credit for the image though.
I seriously about spewed out my captain and coke when I saw that last night.
-
I wish you good luck in the future I'll miss the lama.
-
OOC: Good God that OP sounded like someone forgot to take their Ritalin.
IC: That's probably the best DoW I've seen yet. Good luck.

Actually IIRC FAN's goals and objectives of their campaign was to help facilitate the destruction of WUT, who knows, I don't believe they were entirely responsible for the folding of WUT, however they probably didn't help internal relationships whatsoever. But then I wouldn't know, I'm only a neutral observer in this whole episode.
you since you joined the NPO, it brings out your best side.
GGA Announcement to SPAM

My people always liked fried SPAM, but I don't think this would taste too good. Hell, we had a SPAM cult at one time. They all died of Arteriosclerosis, there was much rejoicing.
