Ahh, the good old getting nuked days while not having nukes. Makes me all weepy.

Ah hah! Your secret plan is now revealed. I knew it all along. (keep up the good work)

Hail to the merge and Nordreich! To the current friends and allies of LSR, we wish to continue our relationships and solidify them even further over time. It has been a pleasure working with you, and may the fun continue.

go go go go.... DT!

Watch out for the shark!

Well, I must preface this by saying that I have been a pro-ES guy for a long time. In fact, I fought for forces that he supported or lead for many months/years. ES to me was the only truth-speaker of any of the Hegemonic alliances. Have been destroyed twice at this direction with nothing as much as a "hey, good job, i screwed you over. Thanks for the help." However, ES claims to have been a major director in the demise of several alliances. Having been a "meatshield" in retrospect, makes me even more dubious of the OP. So which way is it, ES? Your statement that your conquered alliances didn't have to disband is at odds with the apparent intent. As far as I know, there are only a few alliances who exist today or have recently reformed in this category. BTW... this isn't a "bawwwww, you made us disband" post. I would just like you to be more forthright on the matter, and not just make those you put in your path of destruction seem like fools. Or should I just concede by admitting that I was not at the leadership table and just got what was deserved by the group you were party to?

Lol, Jipps. Isn't that what the last couple of years has been about?

About time, ya bastages. More belt-feed goodness:

Congrats, TRF!

Close, but I believe that distinction is currently held by Nordreich.

Well, that's the spirit, soldier! (Sorry, my multiple conditions that cause me to be basement-ridden and continue to be the Internet Tough Guy are wearying me. You win, good sir. Congratulations.)

I don't think anyone disputes this.

It seems to me, Craig... that if you had simply taken Zog seriously when he approached you regarding the NAP, that this continuing dialogue would be superfluous. I approached your camerades about this prospect in November, and were excoriated for even suggesting such a thing as trying to work together in peace. Understood that you guys have been burned in the past (ICP 2.0 example), but also taking into account the current state of affairs, the fact that Nordreich was effectively forced out from CN due to OOC attacks for what, almost a year, and that they are just starting out now with mostly new or beaten nations... I can see the allure of making a "Karmic response," but wouldn't that just be starting things all over again? It would be like a goofy self-fulfilling prophecy. Has it been considered that previous incarnations of NoR/NoV simply had a thing going with making socialist/communist/anarchist/whatever alliances the bad guy? And that maybe a different playing field awaits for both sides? My suggestion, as unwanted as it might be, is to go to the table with the new Nordreich and hammer it all out. I think you might be pleasantly surprised as to the result.

Haha. I think two of my prior nations individually excreted more than the equivalent of his 617 day old nation. Or perhaps that is how it came to be in the first place...

Good to see. Congrats to both NoR and NV.

Wow. Multiple factual errors. LSF defeated Nordreich? Ongoing conflict? I will yield to those who were involved in decisions at the time to respond to this gibberish.

Well, Toweliee.. Those weren't the best of days. I wouldn't complain about the number of nukes received if I were you. Your are out-classed there sir. LUA refused the terms as they were based on a subjective lie about OOC matters. They stood for what was truth. This truth is is same today as it was then. At least get your history straight before you comment. Besides, this is ancient history in the CN scheme of things.

Well, ya got me there. In fact, I was the one who helped respond to these ridiculous terms. Little good did it do at the time. Thanks for being historically accurate. Considering that the membership at large would not agree to the libel promoted by Slayer, and that they effectively left the game for other pastures... This actually makes the case that any wars with NoV/NoR are effectively over, as the terms were met, paid for in blood, and for many months. (edited for more accuracy)

Please show a public statement that NoV disbanded.

Well, you're a nice one, aren't you.

Welcome back, Nordreichers!

Communism in my CN? It's more likely than you think.

Yes, I do deny that. I was not party to the actual negotiation, but have logs of them. The numbers you state are not accurate according to my most recent knowledge. LSR is basically buying 1000 tech from SSSW18 for $30,000,000. I can't speak for the other members of the terms, but I doubt it is much different. For an alliance that did not have good warchests at the time, being given a cash infusion post-war is actually a pretty good gesture if you ask me.

You really have no idea what is going on. Your conclusions are ridiculous. No one is being harmed here, and no one is remotely close to being disbanded.

Congrats on your peaceful repose and development.
