love...Love...LOVE this addition. Looking forward tp many years pf prosperity with all our newest friends. o/ AZTEC

Look here...I have been involved in TE since round 1. I spent a lot of time with Harmful and if you don't know your history you better axe sumbody. I had the pleasure of serving under thaisport and even led MHA for a few rounds. Even back in those days RE was a formidable enemy and I always enjoy swapping infra with that bunch. Clash and RE leadership have no reason to defend themselves. We had nothing else going on and decided to beat the hell outta each pther for a few days. If you dont get it, meh. If you have spent any time in TE, you have to realize that tW have always taken on all comers and alwys conducted ourselves with the utmost class; win or lose. That is Clash's doing and the philosophy we are built upon. If you want to see tW in an all out pixel devastation, come on and get it. We'll always play...cuz runnners run, swimmers swim and Warriors war. Love to RE...the nukes were delicious. O/Warriors LMAO - I guess I don't post much...chech out my TE AA. It's worth a warn.

[quote name='Thomasj_tx' timestamp='1291769225' post='2533366'] If you change the update time, you will appease one subset while losing another subset. I am assuming that the bulk for the players are in the US. That may be a false assumption, but my experience supports the assumption. If you move the update more than a few hours either way, you will likely lose many more than are being loss now due to the update. [/quote] 26 hour scheduled update. Moves it across time zones nicely. Also adds a chance for a bit more strategy.

[quote name='Clash' timestamp='1285401035' post='2464128'] I demand the top three unanarchied RE nations declare war on me immediately, or you are ALL stooges. I'm not talking Moe, or Larry either. Not even Curly. Y'all would be Shemp, the second-string stooge[/quote] That's gonna have to be my new tag line. o/friends o/foes o/Warriors!!!!!

Such mixed emotions. When I joined the CIA 665 days ago, we were basically a 4-man outfit. Founded by Peacemaker of Pacifism, the AA was built on relationships; relationships with fellow members, our protectorate and the CN community. We now move to extending those relationships to our new home. There are some folks I would like to take the opportunity to thank for their service to CIA. [b]Peacemaker[/b] - our founder. Without him, there would be no CIA. [b]Jammer[/b] - our oldest member. Never wavered - always a friend. [b]GoddessOfLinn[/b] - the hottest Goddess in all of CN. An excellent confidant and friend, she always wanted the best for the AA - Love ya Linnie! [b]Warkitten [/b]- a guy you want on your side in a fight. He can be my wing-man anytime. [b]Ace[/b] - an original member. Glad I got Flonker to give you back. [b]Flonker[/b] - O/ M*A*S*H - a sage adviser and fierce protector. [b]ali[/b] - new blood. Gave the CIA some of the coolest forums in CN and was one of the most active members ever. [b]USMC and Logan [/b]- true friends. When the rogue hit, there was no questioning, they struck quickly and decisively, enabling what would eventually become this merge. Finally and most importantly, Amos. Simply, Amos was the greatest leader CIA ever had. Under his leadership, the CIA grew to 50+ members and flirted ever so closely with that 1 Million mark. He built bridges with so many of our new friends, oversaw all the great changes with the forums, spurred 100's of millions of dollars in aid to our nations, saw us through tough times and paved the way for the new chapter of the CIA. Once M*A*S*H disbanded, our ties with Tetris were our strongest of all and it is only a natural progression for to join them now in these tough times. I thank them for our warm welcome. One last time - O/ CIA

[quote name='sarasate' timestamp='1283234254' post='2436771'] I tell you, all my soldiers are fat and stupid... and on coke. Honestly, they lost all but 1 battle? [/quote] Robony, you have been attacked by sarasate. Your troops where triumphant. In the battle you gained 160 cheeseburgers and 40 medium fries. Some of your opponents wandered off humming to themselves. Your forces were also able to gain 4 grams of your opponent's coke. o/ Warriors o/ OB o/ War

[quote name='Varianz' timestamp='1282001745' post='2418379'] This debate happens every round...in the same way...oftentimes by the same people. It never goes anywhere. But, "My Observations After [u][b]12 [/b][/u] Rounds" are as follows: 1. Everyone has different ideas on how TE should be played. Some, like myself, dabbled in politics, coalition building, intrigue, etc. Some dabbled in breaking what I created (you know who you are ). Some play for flags. Some play for war. Some play because they're fat and lazy sitting in mommies basement with no real friends (you know who you are too ). 2. The nation count, in terms of total nations in TE, is indeed going down, and has every single round. It went down when we had coalitions. It went down when we had flag chasers. It went down when we got rid of the coalitions. And it'll most likely keep going down, regardless of what we do. Some of us old folks have tried to do what we can to revive the game, but generally, there is a lot of apathy in TE. 3. No one can force anyone to play a certain way. No one can force anyone to do anything for that matter. Whether at the point of a gun or not, you have free will to make your own choices. So make them, and don't apologize.

[/quote] Well said Tibs and you got my vote in the pole This might be off topic, but since we're talkin about killin TE AND after waking up to 27 new msg's, I'll point to the oft offered reason TE is "dying". Simply; server update. You know who quits the game? Those like me and the rest of us living in crappy time zones for fighting. Update is 1 AM here. I gotta REALLY hate ya to set my alarm to wake up and quad ya. Not to mention I'll eat RE NooKs all day before I'll wake my wife and deal with that fallout. There have been many "suggestions" in the appropriate thread that seem to have fallen on deaf Admin ears. I'm not whining tho. I'll continue to create nations and wake up to those messages and nip at the heals of my UK and West Coast friends who so enjoy my pixels, infra and tech. Just my .02

[quote name='CubaQuerida' timestamp='1281758328' post='2415340'] Like I said, you can call yourselves warriors and try to bash other AA's for trying to be successful, but the rogue antics are pretty much [b]the reason TE loses 25% of its players each round[/b]. You cannot deny the numbers. [i]TE used to have 3000+ players, then 2500, then 2000 and now barely 1500[/i]. People do NOT want to play all round and work hard to build their nation only to have their efforts bashed by some person whose only order was [u]"go nuke this person"[/u].[/quote] Pardon my ignorance, but isn't building a nation to get bashed (or bash with) the whole point? Roguery is what killing TE? I thought it was Coalitions. No, wait it was HUGE AA's. No wait it was Confusion. Each round it seems something new is killing TE and yet there is always another round when the current one ends. Personally, I don't care how other AA's or individual nations conduct business. I look at it as changing strategy and tactics just as in RL warfare. I notice our military doesn't line up and walk toward the enemy anymore. So should it be in TE. Adapt and survive or lament and perish.

If I didn't get nuked at least once per round by RE, I wouldn't know how to act. Regards from Robony's "Glowin Green Brigade"!

o/Thai o/HisK o/Harmful Guess this makes me the second worst leader in TE. I'll try harder next round. Really.

No use... He gnawed it off and keeps it in a box in his locker.

For nukes, I would add the option "Detonate WoMD". Seems realistic enough that if they can target one, they could blow it up, causing nuclear damage to the owner.

HisK and PU has MHA's FULL support in this message. Robony, MHA Associate Exec. o/PU

Love it! Good luck Darth!

Lest you forget that it was SWAT who came knocking on Harmful's door right on the heels of our war with OP. Also, as has been said in other threads, MHA has enjoyed near constant war since day 3 of the round. Without a true opinion or position on the current EoR festivities, it was decided that we would allow our nations free range in their choice of how to use their last remaining pixels in rd 8. So sorry if some are doing to you what you did to them, but leadership is doing anything but ignoring it. We watch closely. This is a transitional period for Harmful and we are evaluating every part of our systems, process and personnel. Many (if not most) of you know HisK. Many (if not most) of you don't know me. I'll assure you this is not my first rodeo and along with HisK and the rest of Harmful's leadership, MHA will return to a place of prominence on Steve. Who knows, maybe we'll REALLY become your favorite AA.

Looking forward to Harmful's future. The way this round is ending, the next will is sure to be fun. o/ Harmful o/ Thai o/ HisK o/ Rd 9

Congrats to Tetris and SOS. 'Tis great to see.

o/ Tetris o/ CIA Y'all are just lucky we left out the fine print. To echo the kind words, Tetris are some of the best folks in the game and we look forward to a long and prosperous friendship. Many thanks to Amos, CIA's MoFA, for taking the lead on this puppy. You'll hear much more from him in the days and weeks to come.

What, the dancin girls were't enough?

For Thai who's been a little under the weather. No flags, no frill, no foolin. As of 1:22PM game time White Peace exists between Mostly Harmful, Orbit Black and SWAT. We have thoroughly enjoyed the fight and shall now begin to mop the blood of our pixels. Let the women outta the storm cellar and crack the white lightnin'.

To be honest, you fled at gunpoint. Only Keve's generosity and my affection for him and UINE allowed you to live. I suppose you "hated" UINE too. How long til NpO gains your "hatred"? Looks like you doing great things for Jerkin as well. Guess you'll be hatin them soon too. Not sure who you are referring to as my emporer. Never had one of those. As to my war slots... Meh

Not for nothing, but perhaps Marcus' only real phail was provided to him by westernskier. For those who don't know Western, he can come off as quite competent AT FIRST. Later, he can't help but prove himself epic phail. So, when we talk about "throwing a deputy under the bus", maybe that deputy jumped. Nice try Marcus and hopefully you'll learn from your mistakes and be better for it. Good luck eddy!

This is a truly sad day. We had the highest of hopes for a long and prosperous relationship with our friends and allies at CEN. Thar has worked incredibly hard at making CEN work and it is a clear testament to his leadership and dedication that CEN accomplished so much in such a short time. As Amos said, the MDP between CIA and CEN will continue as members search for new homes and will be aggressively enforced should any one of our brothers or sisters come into harm's way. o/ Thar o/CEN
