Well good observation then, and sound advice. I'm still not happy that the ramped up costs that come from producing more tech in one go cut so deep into tech dealers profits that I just quit doing it. Also, no. You're not the leader or even a member of a micro any more. I was tempted to send you the money just to see if you would take it, but I think you would ha ha :awesome:

lol, oops, 6 for 200. Y'know, the most you can send. Anyway, what the $%&@ ever, I can't believe people are !@#$%*ing about free money. Man the OWF is a weird place.

Franz, that's because you probably generate 1 to 3 mil, if not more, in taxes even at 1000 infra. The bill you pay for your nuke upkeep is more than new nations make. A 3 million gift is a lot to a nation still in its infancy. Even a round of tech dealing only nets 1 mil, and less now at the 6 mil 300 tech rate. Not only that, it's a lot to my nation. I've sat at the bottom for a long time tech dealing and only have about 9 mil. It may have been a snarky post, but I believe that one should give a percentage of their earnings, no matter how big or small.

Nope.... too late, I've got the nods. Night. Micros lose. I win. ...er,... alright, I guess I'll check back tomorrow morning. Carry on.

Damn, you think I'm made of rupees? That's like 2/3rds of all I own. Now, I have only an hour before Big Bertha comes to strap me down for the night. So hurry the fuck up.

Are you the leader of a micro alliance? Perhaps a fledgling member of a new group struggling to find your way in this big bad world? Convince me that you are deserving of 6 million buck-a-roos, how your collection of dust motes are going to be different from the rest, and I'll drop 3 mil on you and 3 more on your favorite sycophant in your AA. Go

Where's my apology? Now I demand one. Where's your nation link....

Good luck in this venture.

fuck off BMTH, I found this patsy prodigy first! He's mine! Yes... come closer young one. Let me help you. Closer

You may join my alliance. I will negotiate with any adversaries that might pursue you... But the question is, what can you do for me?

I'm on the first page! Er, also, congrats, looks good. If you squint just right, In just the correct light, The great word Orange, Might rhyme with Porridge Ha! *Edit: Suck it people who said orange doesn't rhyme with anything! I WIN!

O7 FAN!

Great! O/ Die Linke O/ Old Guard O/ NSF O/ MCXA O/ FAN O/ Riot Society O/ Lavender Town

Trying to wrap my head around this question has only succeed in causing me to crawl deeper down the rabbit hole. Ha ha. The only purpose I find in this daily repetition is to bring both a sense of equanimity in the face of the twists and turns cast by that fickle mistress Lady Luck, like a calm within the eye of the storm, and to retain a sense of gratitude. I'm also fairly certain that the "lament" was written by some hard partying monks who did so with a good sense of humor behind the facade of seriousness the music imparts. Thank you for the kind words. Carl Orff's work is, indeed, an epic piece. Also, I like your animated alphabet thingy. Makes you look educated in the classics.

Looking good, NG. Grats, you two.

Needs more Sabcat. Good luck, LSF.

Thanks! Actually, after being repeatedly browbeaten into submission by armchair vexillologists this is the boring clean flag: And this is the "Hey, it's like its a real flag" flag: So that, and various IRC shenanigans have been the total sum of organizational activity for the alliance. Until now. Wow, you're totally right, that would have been a better acronym. ---- FAN? They're a yellow team, libertarian-ish assemblage of gun nuts, been around quite a while. Oh, you must mean Old Guard. They're awesome. Been around quite a while, too. Look 'em up! (Obligatory: :v:) You probably don't remember me which is hilarious because I was actually in your old alliance for some time, holding an honorary gov status, with a few minor perfunctionary duties. My micro now flies under the radar. Like a stealthed bat. Or a low flying snake. Also, hi, how have you been? --- Also, a special mention to the members staSomeNumbers and his lil buddy below him, because of your timely warning regarding your ghosts, I could then accurately gauge the reason behind the radio silence of my opponent, disengage him, and find a real member of your alliance. Which I am now destroying. So, thanks, smart-asses! And now back to the war skirmish. :popcorn:

Hello Rush 1. In your tenure here, what have you gleaned about politics and human nature? What lessons would you take away form that? 2. Any developments of the last year that surprised you? 3. Do you have any favorite new alliances? 4. Have your opinions of any old alliances changed substantially? Who? 5. What's one thing you wish people knew about you but no one ever asks?

That was pretty smooth.

Correct, once you accept the crushing despairity of knowing the fortunes of your own life and those of your loved ones dance precariously on the precipice of whimsy, buffeted about by sociopathic local and national leaders, inscrutable financial markets erected upon shaky foundations of economic fallacies, treacherous companions and fickle allies, roll-of-the-dice social contagions, and other dolefully ironic twists of fate, coupled with the absolute fact of mortality accompanied by a sure reversal of fortune in health, we can all feel better about ourselves. In truth, though, knowing all that and still soldiering on to kick ass and take names in our brief sojourn in this alien land does make one feel a bit like a bad ass. Plus, knowing a song in latin is pretty cool, too. And actually, I do play this every morning right when I get to work as an ironic reminder to appreciate what I have today. For tomorrow....

Interesting. (ooc: ha ha, Roseanne Roseannadanna, classic)

I like this thing.

First click on the brief into to the 13th century poem 'O Fortuna', and read the translated version. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/O_Fortuna Then click on the heavy metal orchestra band Therion's version. Following along with the original script to the sound will make you feel like a total badass for the rest of the day. You're welcome.

Yes, I hope so. Missiles. Nukes. Blood. War. More! Ahh, yes, I'm coming alive. Time to do the dance of a thousand screams. The death of our warriors will make a symphony.

k, sorry, ghost. Can you direct me to an appropriate deserving member of your cesspool? *Also, I do charge for ghost cleaning. So you will have a bill pending.
