    So anyway, we are now accepted submissions for a CN Forums Sanctioned Pip. We have no specific requests for it, but keep in mind our colour is blue, and our theme is dinosaurs in general, but Dinosaur Comics in particular. Size limit is 150x48. Keep in mind that the background of the OWF isn't white, so any background space on the pip should be transparent, not white. Submissions would be appreciated particularly within the next five days or so, so that we have time to select one before the ten day limit is up. We are also of course having Deinos Citizens, friends and allies submit pip ideas but figured you guys might have some artistic ability too maybe??
    Here is our flag:

    and here is t-rex by himself if you want it

    Post any submissions here, and feel free to discuss them as well!

    As a loyal Oilers fan, I've been cheering against the Canucks since Round 1. Beyond that, the Bruins are a really easy team to cheer for, so I'm pretty happy tonight. The Bruins just ended a 39 year Cup Drought, and moved past my Oilers to be alone in 4th place for Most Cups Won. A more relevant count, I think, is the number of pennants (Conference Championships) won since expansion took place in 1967. In that number, Boston sits tied with Philadelphia for second place, while my Oilers are in fourth.
    Montreal (11): '68, '69, '71, '73, '76-'79, '86, '89, '93
    Boston (8): '70, '72, '74, '77, '78, '88, '90, '11
    Philadelphia (8): '74, '75, '76, '80, '85, '87, '97, '10
    Edmonton (7): '83, '84, '85, '87, '88, '90, '06
    Detroit (6): '95, '97, '98, '02, '08, '09
    New York Islanders (5): '80, '81, '82, '83, '84
    Chicago (4): '71, '73, '92, '10
    Dallas (4): '81, '91, '99, '00
    New Jersey (4): '95, '00, '01, '03
    Pittsburgh (4): '91, '92, '08, '09
    Calgary (3): '86, '89, '04
    New York Rangers (3): '72, '79, '94
    St. Louis (3): '68, '69, '70
    Vancouver (3): '82, '94, '11
    Anaheim (2): '03, '07
    Buffalo (2): '75, '99
    Carolina (2): '02, '06
    Colorado (2): '96, '01
    Florida (1): '96
    Los Angeles (1): '93
    Ottawa (1): '07

    Congratulations boys, you earned it. Thomas, Recchi, Chara, Bergeron. Those are all names I'm really happy to see hoist the Cup.

    MK and/or DH and/or PB and/or XX and/or SF is the new hegemony.
    The new hegemony is worse than NPO/just as bad as NPO/obviously not as bad as NPO but still awful.
    We need to evaluate our actions/to form a new Vox Populi/to make more blog posts about this.

    1. If you refuse to pay reps, you aren't being "forced to disband". You're just unreasonable. There is no rule that states an alliance has to give you whatever terms you deign to accept, and if they don't then they're the New Hegemony.
    2. You can't be forced to disband. If such a thing were possible there would be no FAN, there would have been no Vox coming into the Karma War. You can be put in a !@#$%* situation, and such a situation may make disbandment an attractive option, but you cannot be forced to disband.

    As we all know, the various methods used by nation rulers to converse are used by radically different demographics. In this short blog post I will be attempting to rank them based on the average amount of intelligence displayed. Obviously there are exceptions for each one, but it seems that in general the CN community has split off into groups separated by intelligence that, while they often overlap, are still decidedly distinct.
    Blogs: Surprisingly, these blogs have managed to accumulate a decidedly more clever clientele than the rest of these forums, which I quite enjoy. While there are certainly a good number of exceptions, I feel that the Blogs are a fairly positive aspect of the CN Community.
    Open World RP: The OOC forum for in-game discussion is quite a bit more bearable than it's IC counter-parts, and I attribute that to two factors. The first is that many of the more terrible trolls simply don't have the attention-span for a conversation that isn't heavily interspersed with hurr's and durr's, and they skip along to the AA and WA sub-forums. The other is that some of our more annoying colleagues are simply "putting on a show", and the odd one will let that go when discussing things OOC. Admittedly this is rare, but it does happen. Of course you get the odd derpy individual who falls into this forum by accident and leaves a mess before departing, but all-in-all it's a pretty good place to be.
    IRC: IRC is such a crapshoot, simply because anyone that wishes to can create their own channel, which essentially acts as a sub-culture in this system. That said, accessing IRC requires slightly more intelligence than accessing these forums, and therefore it sits slightly above the Alliance Announcements sub-forum.
    Alliance Announcements: This is a sort of "watering hole" of the CN Savannah. Almost all CNers are forced to visit this realm occasionally, and therefore it contains a good cross-section of the various intellectual cultures. That said, CN is much like the real world in that there are far more idiots than Einsteins, and therefore a "good cross-section" still comes across as fairly pedestrian.
    World Affairs: I am regularly astounded at the rampant stupidity in this subforum. While the occasional well-thought out post draws me there I always feel like an aristocrat on the wrong side of the tracks, always in fear of being manhandled by the trolls and other ne'er-do-wells.
    I hope this handy guide will be helpful to you in the future as you contemplate your meandering about the wonderful world of Cyber Nations.

    And before you leave for the day, boys and girls, I want to leave you with today's OWF Take Home Message.
    Never, ever, for any reason, sign anything with the Mostly Harmless Alliance.
    To be fair, if you hadn't figured this out already you probably aren't reading this, because you'd be far too stupid to remember you log-in details for the forum. I guess that makes this a fairly unnecessary reminder.
