Cairna

This is preposterous! I was assured by many bothan spies that TOP was too scared to lose their pixels to face our might. ( P.S. Also: [quote]As part of peace terms, we will be demanding 40,000 technology from CD's nations with 2,000 tech or above. [/quote] ) >>>>[i]implying CD has technology[/i]

[quote name='Antoine Roquentin' timestamp='1299632139' post='2657255'] I'm not upset at all. You're the ones who did yourselves in here. It wasn't even a surprise since I saw it coming for over a week. [/quote] I'm unsure what you're responding to.

[quote name='Antoine Roquentin' timestamp='1299631118' post='2657239'] We attacked before the terms were signed, so that's the relevant point. Just because NSO found it convenient to post a RoH a few weeks later(very clever) doesn't mean you could re-enter while abiding by these terms and we will deal with the situation in accordance with that. [/quote] You also began attacking SNAFU as MK screwed around with them and ghosted them, calling us out and only stopping after a few days of us not responding. You cannot honestly hope to convince me that you did not want this. Be happy. The last reserves are in. You can only spit in our face so much before we feel like we have no other option. It was explained to us that that clause was to prevent further dogpiling of our allies. Which we feel you did. Coalition warfare and such makes it a grey area, I guess. But we were forced to interpret and choose between two courses of action, one outrightly dishonorable in abandonning our friends, and the other going against an agreement ( warranted as I believe it was, or not ). It's largely an opinion call. And we are all bias.

[quote name='Freelancer' timestamp='1299630830' post='2657234'] No !@#$!! OOC it was quite the treat that night, I just got finished entering 2612 lines of code into CMTS when my phone text messages went ballistic, its a hard balance sometimes. /OOC [/quote] Consider this me being smug about how CD doesn't even use OOC means to contact gov. That probably would help, though. It's a shame texting costs more internationally.

[quote name='Lusitan' timestamp='1299630211' post='2657230'] I agree, it's far more likely they lose sleep when the time comes and they expect you to help them out. Might as well go ahead and buy them a chair in prior compensation, no one should have to wait so long without sitting. [/quote] CD long got bored with threats and intimidation. Nobody cares, so how about you and yours quit the big talk? Actually, hey, declare now and take up MK and Umbrella's war slots. We're much better suited for your calibre.

[quote name='Freelancer' timestamp='1299627421' post='2657181'] Fair enough, unlike most alliances were more laid back have [b]huge[/b] RL responsibilities which I imagine gets in the way of a coordinated strike the size magnitude of DDay. We wish you all well in your [i]global[/i] endeavors [/quote] CD is much the same so I sympathize, but it's kind of a difficult argument to make when you're playing a similar political game to others, isn't it?

[quote name='Lusitan' timestamp='1299628770' post='2657217'] This, pretty much. [/quote] The nation of Lucania has recently invented a number to describe the number of $%&@s I give. Top scientists see a great many uses for the number zero. A new dawn has risen.

[quote name='nosoup4you' timestamp='1299625981' post='2657142'] You were invited to participate in negotiations. You did not attend. You signed the terms without so much as a whimper. You then complained and trolled about it. You might be satisfied but I dare say that you calling us all cowards won't be soon forgotten. [/quote] You misunderstand. I don't care what you guys think, or forget, or remember. I'm just saying we got over it pretty fast. As for us being invite or not complaining in private, that's a lie, but I won't go into it. We spent a whole thread on that, and I just don't care.

[quote name='The MVP' timestamp='1299617126' post='2656956'] I said you were upset with AZTEC, who is allies to TFD via NV. Which you were having fought only one day of war after they all peaced out. [/quote] We were offended that we were not invited to participate in negotiations. We complained and trolled about it. It satisfied us. Nothing to be upset about anymore.

As far as I know, CD is not upset with TFD or any of their friends. I fail what this whole Lusitan-MVP debate is about. But it looks a lot like words being put into our mouth.

[quote name='SpiderJerusalem' timestamp='1299526875' post='2655665'] And I sure hope that CD don't expect to receive terms any time this side of new year's [/quote] I don't know if you've noticed, but every time you or someone else says this, nobody answers. I don't want to state the obvious, but it's a hint. I'm not going to e-lawyer on the grey area of the terms. If anyone from the opposing side as questions regarding the way we see it, and why we felt we had to make this move please seek us out, or ask me to seek you out. MK, you guys have been calling us out forever the way I see it. I know you think you've got to keep up with your posts in this thread, but I don't know who you're trying to convince. You gave us no absolutely honorable option, we did what we think is right. If we burn for it, that's cool. To all MK'ers and Umbrella'ers that will forgive us so long as they get to fight us, we'll come out, don't worry!

Will be available on IRC for discussion over the course of the next few days. Pandering on the OWF only entertains me so much.

[quote name='Sardonic' timestamp='1299478328' post='2655106'] this is dumb [/quote] Do you know who I am? Nobody outstupids CD. Nobody.

Glory be to the overmind! [quote]We'll still throw in a pair of pink, fuzzy handcuffs to make sure you all have a good time, no worries[/quote] I'm wearing them as I type this. Not a word of a lie.

[quote name='Mogar' timestamp='1299477801' post='2655097'] very interesting announcement Cairna. [/quote] Mogar, don't even try. I first'd this thread.

[img]http://images.wikia.com/cybernations/images/d/da/Flag2b.jpg[/img] Fulfilling bureaucratic procedures. Something something war. Peace mode, peace mode. MK, we are coming for you. Probably not for a while though, I wouldn't worry about it. Following this announcement, CD is a puppet state of NSO and its leader Ivan Moldavi. There will be no further announcements from myself, or CD's "leader" ( haha!). We'll probably also ditch the flag and like put a lightsaber on or something. Nobody in CD even likes ponies. Also we're not going to fight you guys until you give away your tech.

[quote name='Hegemon Rob' timestamp='1299191251' post='2651554'] Cairna good to hear from you. Still active eh? [/quote] Bow before the might of my sheer activity!

Nice grouping.

[quote name='SirWilliam' timestamp='1298509050' post='2643290'] Call in CD. [/quote] ITT SirWilliam breaks Cairna's heart. [img]http://cd.arturion.net/forum/Smileys/default/colbert.gif[/img] Why you gotta be that guy, SW? Don't be that guy But in all seriousness, CD is waiting for a chance to attack Gotham so that we can make posts saying that "we're the goddamn batman" and stuff. It'll happen. If anyone does it before us, then we'll whine. A lot.

Consider this notification of the CD troll team's official intent to hijack the thread. We will not be ignored!

[quote name='Zhaan' timestamp='1298176604' post='2639084'] Sounds fun. I see your government structure there...but where's the batman?! [/quote] I'm the goddamn batman. [img]http://www.batmanytb.com/images/smiley/batman3.gif[/img]

Balleeted.

[quote name='Duncan King' timestamp='1297439628' post='2629381'] NTO were pretty good guys. They were the /b/ members that didn't bomb the forums. Unfortunately, many of them later decided to bomb the forums on their way out. I've always seen Carpe Diem as NTO 3.0 so I guess that does make them /b/ 3.0. [/quote] Well, seeing us as NTO 3.0 doesn't really work because we were a merge of NTO and NOI. The only logical ( albeit prejudiced, I would have said, and now flawed ) jump would be the former. And there were lots of members that spread out and didn't do anything, including quite a few start-up alliances, though the only real good one I could think of would have been Rage Co. And I think the forum-bombing you're referring to was only perpetrated by two of the leaving IoM members, many of them just attacked CD and let inactivity kill them off.

[quote name='Morphine Mate' timestamp='1297144387' post='2625348'] Y'know... when I first joined CN, I was in one of those siblings of a sibling of /b/ alliances... wasn't so bad. [/quote] NTO was probably the last bastion of what I would consider fun of /b/. For a time, CD could have been considered the same, however at this point in time most of the members that made us /b/ 3.0 even remotely are gone. You probably would not have lasted in the earlier days.
