[quote name='Wu Tang Clan' timestamp='1317921520' post='2818651'] ....Being defeated in war isn't what kills an alliance. Being a terrible alliance and having nothing to fight for does. Stand up for yourselves, and every defeat is a potential victory. If your alliance isn't strong enough to do that, then be neutral, because you obviously can't handle the facets and consequences of war. [/quote] Truer words and all that.

I know this must have been difficult. VA was a long-time protectorate of yours and then progressed into an independent ally. Best of luck to both alliances. As always, extreme and sincere to TPF.

Congratulations to the victors. May they serve you well.

I think we can all agree that penile flaccidity is pretty common condition that, in some cases, requires potent formulas to remedy. However, in this case, I think we can also all agree that nearly perpetual fornication is achievable by the members of this precisely focused bloc and so the previously forementioned condition is not an issue. Congratulations on what I am sure will be a perennially fraternal group.

[quote name='Teddyyo' timestamp='1311769546' post='2765145'] I do know Batallion is retiring anyways. But I wasn't gonna let these guys make the end an embarrasing one. [/quote] Funny, I would think that since "embarassing" is perhaps the word that most accurately describes Batallion's tenure on this planet, it would be only fitting to have his end match the rest of his existence.

During my time here, Umbrella has been on the other side of the political fence and Roq personified Umbrella in my mind. As such, I did not have much cause to like him. But there is no denying that I greatly respected both him and Umbrella. He was a true giant among lesser men. You were lucky to benefit from his leadership for so long, Umbrella. I sincerely regret his passing and wish him the best in his extra-dimensional travels away from this world. The world will be diminished in his passing, but I hope that the inspiration of his past presence will guide your leadership in the future. *bows his head in respect.

[quote name='Alterego' timestamp='1310892485' post='2757679'] They have a long history(years) of tracking IP addresses for the reason he mentioned. NPO dont do community they never have and never will. They see all other alliances as something to be used or something to destroy. Even being a neutral alliance wasnt enogh to keep someone off their use/kill radar. Go and learn your own history kid. http://cybernations.wikia.com/wiki/Continuum-GPA_War [/quote] Although I always appreciate it when Pacifica is given all the credit for implementing innovative practices that become the gold standard across Planet Bob, in this case I must admit that we can't claim to be the creators or sole practitioners of IP tracking. In the days when PZI, EZI and other repressive practices were in vogue, a very large number of alliances indulged themselves in keeping track of their "enemies of the state". Regrettably, however, the world at large has decried such Orwellian behaviors and, indeed, even ebil Pacifica has foresworn the use thereof. So, although it pains me to say so, the current event is merely a community street fair, rather than a slyly constructed attempt to implant virtual microchips in the necks of all who attend. How boring.

As our paths diverge, I will look back and appreciate the friendship we had, rather than dwell on the difficulties that led to this separation. Thank you for the past, Legion, and best of luck in the future. Ave Legio!

Congratulations on your tenacity and thank you for your continuing inspiration for the rest of us Pacifican padawans. o/ Comrade!

[quote name='Dilber' timestamp='1310007598' post='2751058'] It would appear the caliber of member has dropped since I was in the halls of Pacifica. You are honestly trying to claim that the NSO needs to prove it's not the GGA? Yeah, we've been rolled in the past. So has Pacifica. But unlike the "new" Pacifica, we've gotten up and dusted ourselves off. We don't hide in a corner, and we're not frightened old men. Since I left the Order, what has Pacifica done? Nothing. Your lapdogs insult us, and we're expected to take it lying down. We have never taken things lying down, and we never will. At this point, the NPO has to do more to prove it's not the GGA then the NSO does. We're not the scared battered dogs laying in a corner. Look to your own house first, and maybe others will respect Pacifica again. [/quote] Coming from an Imperator Emeritus of the NPO, I find this post disheartening. You respond to the rantings of one member of the BR by disparaging Pacifica as a whole? I guess it is good to know your true feelings, but I would have expected better of you.

[quote name='Vol Navy' timestamp='1309812652' post='2748604'] The Last Remnants have signed with Legion?? Holy hell the world is turning upside down. [/quote] First time weak joke is at least only the first time. Not funny, but not yet run into the ground. [quote name='The Pansy' timestamp='1309813571' post='2748636'] o/ The Last Remnants on ascending from protectorate status. [/quote] Starting to get stale. [quote name='KagetheSecond' timestamp='1309813646' post='2748641'] Congrats Last Remnants and Legion! [/quote] If you are going to bandwagon a "joke", at least pick one that was amusing in the first iteration. [quote name='CheeKy' timestamp='1309816514' post='2748713'] o/ The Last Remnants, congrats guys! [/quote] zzzzzzzzzz [quote name='Bob Ilyani' timestamp='1309840911' post='2749126'] The Last Remnants, I am disappointed in your choice of treaty partners. First Deinos, and now Legion? [img]http://forums.cybernations.net/public/style_emoticons/default/happy.gif[/img] [/quote] See above, and I really expect better from you Bob. edit: Congratulations on your upgraded relationship. Obligatory mindless hail: o/ Legion \o The Last Republic

I am not sad to see this announcement. Not because I dislike NSO or that I believe that the majority of the Sith dislike us, but rather for exactly the opposite reason. Sometimes to be free you must cut strings that hamper your movements. Hopefully this cancellation will enable both of our alliances to move more freely down the paths we choose to follow in our FA efforts. Regardless, I will always believe that the dark side of the Force is the best side. The Sith

I just want to congratulate the OP alliances on their new bloc. A couple of you I have liked and respected for a long time, even though we may been on opposite sides. One of you I have come to like and admire recently. One of you I don't like, but respect nonetheless. The other I don't really know very well, but I wish you good luck anyway.

This is clearly a lie! I demand unequivocal proof of your typing speed! A notarized affidavit from Mavis Beacon will do. And yeah, although it pains me to say so (as a mindless NPO drone, I should mindlessly support anyone in my alliance, an allied alliance, or someone who resides on Red), Jaiar behaved poorly and should apologize. But I still demand proof of your typing speed. *Joe Izuzu has inferiority issues since he only types at about 65 wpm

[quote name='Crymson' timestamp='1308285877' post='2732910'] Yeah, I chose not to be snotty. It has been a long night already, so my first response was a bit crappy. [/quote] Truth be told, all three of your responses were crappy and quite a bit snotty.

After reading this, all I can say is Avalon and VE.

A hugely admirable alliance merges with another hugely admirable alliance. I am honored to be able to call all of you my direct allies.

Any move that increases association with TPF, including merger, merits congratulation. There is no better alliance in all of Planet Bob. Accordingly, I will not mourn your disbandment, but rather celebrate your consolidation. o/ Sanitarium o/ The Phoenix Federation

[quote name='potato' timestamp='1306700373' post='2720199'] That nuking after the peace orders and shortly before the end of our war (and the war as a whole) is a cheap shot. I don't blame you for it as I'd probably have done it had I had nukes left but I still do think it is a cheap shot. [/quote] So it is really just envy that he was able to do to you something that you would have done to him if you had the opportunity, but were physically unable to accomplish. Just look at it as a last kiss; after all, parting is such sweet sorrow.

Congratulations to those who are happy with achieving peace and condolences to those who are not.

I don't know you guys very well, but what I have observed over the last few months has impressed me. Congratulations on your new leadership.

[quote name='Azaghul' timestamp='1305190889' post='2710606'] I've already said elsewhere that if roles were reversed, you'd be justified in insisting that our guys in peace mode come out before you'd give us peace.[/quote] Azaghul: Supporting NPO's stance in Viet Fan since May 2011.

To all of our allies that have stood by us during this conflict, thank you. To those of my opponents that conducted themselves with class and skill during this conflict, you have my respect. To those members of GOONS that have made my eyes bleed while reading this thread, see my sig.

Congratulations on your milestone, NV. You are truly an alliance to respect.

[quote name='Feanor Noldorin' timestamp='1302285407' post='2686954'] You don't find their reasons justifiable and thats okay. I'm sure I could find a DH member who does though. [/quote] I am sure that you could. Mindless drones seem to be all the rage on that side of the fence these days. Just another way that DH and co. have stolen NPO's thunder lately.
