New Frontier

I like you, Schatt. And I believe the Cult brings something of value to this world, despite our differences. That said, if this is "no pomp" I would hate to see you really go all out.

[quote name='Stewie' timestamp='1338500583' post='2975312'] When are we having the Stewie Thread? [/quote] you're bad at slots, or something

Specifically, I believe we ended up accepting two PoWs who applied, both of whom were former MCXA who had never actually been told how war worked in this game, or that alliances peaced out as a group as opposed to individually. They both swore up and down to stick with us through war, and both stuck around during the recent Sighet Situation where we told our guys to prepare for a war, which I suppose is a good sign!

[quote name='Jake Liebenow' timestamp='1338427428' post='2974874'] Ooh. This is an alliance that actually doesn't look like it'll fall flat on its face. Good luck all! EDIT: Outside of the fact that they only have 2 members on their AA... [/quote] This is also what I was thinking until I saw Evalla.

[quote name='Roquentin' timestamp='1338413448' post='2974701'] I'm not really sure Myth interpreted appropriately. The point Stewie was making was that NG doesn't really have more allies to hide behind than Deinos. However, NG is the more relevant of the two and their treaties(imo) hold more weight than Deinos' in terms of power projection. Deinos is a mid range alliance that is an Umbrella satellite or whatever and NG is a 13.5m NS alliance. [/quote] Okay, I need some sort of conversion chart. Is Umbrella satellite better than being an Umbrella toadie? What about compared to a third-string MK toadie? And does this affect our relationships with TLR and VE?

[quote name='Lusitan' timestamp='1338387121' post='2974520'] I'm shocked too that my personal agenda does not dictate Umbrella's actions. That said, you'll have to explain me which alliances you think I'd love to roll. [/quote] Deinos obv

[quote name='Roquentin' timestamp='1338350297' post='2974353'] You're joking right? [/quote] Well granted, I've only held ties with TLR for around a year, so if the retardedness is something that only kicks in after three or four, I could be speaking out of turn.

[quote name='Omniscient1' timestamp='1338340013' post='2974261'] Exactly, being allied to you for nearly 4 years gave me an up close and personal look at retardedness. Can't get much closer than that. [/quote] I'm sure it never occurred to you at the time, but holding a treaty with either Athens or TLR is an enormous privilege, and to be perfectly honest I would be shocked if an alliance of that calibre were to treaty Odyssey. The fact that you now spit on that speaks volumes.

I was saying boourns.

I actually like this one. It's sleek and sporty and looks neato.

[quote name='Altheus' timestamp='1338027253' post='2972698'] 16. CIS 15. MDC 14. Genmay 13. ONOS 12. Atlantis 11. ICP 10. GOLD 9. CDS 8. TOOL 7. \m/ 6. Vox Populi 5. GGA 4. NAAC 3. LUE 2. FOK! 1. GOONS (original) [/quote] Intensely curious as to your justification for FOK! being ahead of LUE. I would disagree on GOONS as well, but can at least understand the idea behind it.

am i being punk'd

A shame. We rarely agreed, but all in all Steve was a pretty okay guy. Good luck moving forward, arexes.

Congratulations guys.

Despite our... differing political leanings, I do still have some affection towards Polar, as do many Deinosians. At the very least, you have done more for this planet than all but a handful of others. Congratulations on six years.

[quote name='Sigrun Vapneir' timestamp='1338017430' post='2972679'] Errr. Yeah. Others have pointed out that it's an essential tactic of assymetrical warfare, so I'll leave that. What's messed up is that they *let* him get to PM. Quite a costly mistake for Deinos it would seem. [/quote] I think we're just a couple of moon bases away from being able to hit a fourth attacking slot.

[quote name='Jaiar' timestamp='1337411911' post='2969415'] Two seem to think one is out to get the other so not sure how that would work. 4 should look to put one its place though. [/quote] Are we part of the two, the four, or one of the ones?

well, you know moon bases help with nukes so we have as many as possible.

Truly, this was the son of God.

[quote name='Charles Stuart' timestamp='1337164873' post='2968053'] I miss the old chey who hopped AAs weekly. [/quote] "haha well you used to do something dumb!" zing

[quote name='Omniscient1' timestamp='1335242885' post='2958299'] That would be PB-Polar. [/quote] Haha you mean the war where nearly our entire alliance ghosted into tLW so we could burn our nations to the ground, fighting on the clear-cut losing side (led by an alliance we despised)? THAT war?? The war in which we fought despite having allies on both sides (an oft-used excuse for staying out by other alliances)? The war in which we caused substantially more damage than we took and earned the respect of our opponents (indeed, we are now MDoAP'd to them)? The war in which we were far from the first to peace out of?? Get your facts straight and come back to me, champ.

[quote name='jerdge' timestamp='1337039089' post='2967498'] What Mogar and New Frontier said. [/quote] I want it on the record that I am in no way affiliated with Mogar or Jerdge.

"why are the forums so boring" "oh hey this person posts actively let's get him"

A shame to see.

[quote name='Sandwich Controversy' timestamp='1336668460' post='2965967'] Before GOLD, after Anathema. [/quote] Really? I'd probably slot them in just after the Order of Halsa.
