[quote name='Presidant Joe' timestamp='1323614107' post='2873868'] War is deceit good sir. this isn't the 1600 where we all lined up shot for a few hours then shared some tea are exchanged apologies for any unpleasantness [/quote] I know you're tryning to be funny but your sarcasm is only half right. although they lined up an shot at each other it was mainly the Brits that used that tactic, and afterwards both sides didn't share tea and crumpets... they did however allow each other to recover and bury thier dead. on another note... looks like a great CB to roll them at a later date, or why not nuke them now its better to go down nuking instead of beieng upset about the taste of the nuke u just ate..

[quote name='The Atomik Kangaroo' timestamp='1323124084' post='2864305'] So far I've got an underdog win on a GA, and a spy attempt to change my defcon put it back at Def 1. If this is how y'all bring war, I can't wait! Oh, and where's Criticalmasss? He should come play. [/quote] You will stagger and crumble shortly.. That is all!!

you guys still exist? huh oh well.. hmm i wonder if im still banned from your forums and irc, not much there but keep up whatever this is i guess

Huh so is this like a joke that 6 people openly declare to be ZIed and no one is in my range??? wtf im going back to bed im sure someone will wake me when u guys are knocked into my range. see you after a few nukes or not whatever not really worth the time. but if you like eating nukes, then to each his own.. eat up

NO one else to partake??

[quote name='White Chocolate' timestamp='1308502719' post='2734744'] I agree with Wally's comment regarding your point, and I'm fully supportive of the CN Think Tank as a worthy education and networking organization. However, I also want to point out that if a protector decides to protect AA's with 3-5 members for long periods of time that have not grown in months, it's that alliances "right" to do so. The fact that you disagree is okay, but whether or not a particular small AA is worth protecting is entirely up to the individual alliances that chose to do so and isn't something that others have a say in deciding. [/quote] indeed it is at whatever alliance's discretion, my point that i wanted to make is that protecting such an AA that refuses to try to grow or be better in any way is in my opinion more hurtful than helpful.. so once again i'll say this, The think tank is great if it works, but i will always be against and hate how $*** AA's with 2-5 members that never grow or help cn in anyway being protected.. like it or love it i don't care what you think.. gotta love diplomacy

[quote name='Derwood1' timestamp='1308691403' post='2737703'] Short Bus War [/quote] Well said [quote name='Schad' timestamp='1308695282' post='2737879'] Any title referring to what just happened as a war is probably a bad choice. Weeaboom has turned into Weeabust. [/quote] Good point. And with that being said I say it goes down in wiki as "the short bus weeabust"

I like the lolicaust and the "Anime Weeabooms" <-- pt.1 of course. or if all else fails "donkey punch clusterF@*%" its pretty much what it is :-/

I'm hoping it does something, i may sound like a huge D@#$%$ but maybe later one day it'll become manditory for AA's just starting out, kinda one of those things (make and attempt or else.. ) i'll be watching in the shadows

[quote name='King Wally' timestamp='1308452484' post='2734346'] You want a reason why this happens? The NPL started 3 weeks ago with 5 nations (it was 3 initially but we recruited 2 on the first day)... your "pathetic you dont deserve to exist definition". We were granted protection... we then went hard to work and used the skills and contacts we gained from the thinktank. Now three weeks later we have over 40 nations and are growing strong. We will eventually beleive it or not contribute something to this game and be of value to the friends who very early on gave us a chance by protecting us. This is why people give micro's a chance and why the thinktank can be of huge value in my opinion. [/quote] Well i will say congrats to you for actually contributing something, my beef isn't with active players such as yourself its actually quite opposite.. if you are doing things then kudo's... but how many micro AA's will actually participate and make an effort to grow... I'm a former tech raider and i often spot AA's with 3-5 members that have protectorates they haven't grown or gotten smaller in months.. yet huge AA's still have their back I suppose I'm just a bitter old tech raider who took 1 too many nukes to the head, if it works kudos if not would you consider seizing to protect the inactive micro AA's either way have fun...

[quote name='Hereno' timestamp='1308426579' post='2734103'] The point of his operation here is to give the micros that will inevitably pop up a greater chance of survival because they'll be of better quality. In fact, if you really dislike bad micros, you should be supporting this even more. Also, your nation is 930 days old and you're only 10,680.319 NS. You have absolutely no room to talk about anyone being inactive or useless. [/quote] yea i've eaten plenty of nukes and i've had countless wars, WHy you ask???, because i don't mind trading infra never have and never will!!! so as far as useless im far from, i've been nuked plenty of times and i've lost thousands of infra in the name of my alliances that i've been part of and i'd do it again in a heartbeat. yea 10k NS so what!!! i'll jump my NS when i feel like it.

[quote name='chefjoe' timestamp='1308339145' post='2733182'] You sir are a fine rep for your alliance... [/quote] Lmao, indeed kind sir indeed

[quote name='King Wally' timestamp='1308375688' post='2733713'] ...and this kind of attitude is exactly why there is demand to create a seperate forum to promote positive support for people wanting to have a go. The think-tank is a place where people can come and outline an idea without being laughed at and ridiculed which is a rare comodity these days. [/quote] Hey im just stating what a good number of people are wanting to say... thing is with all the treaties and protecting of mirco AA's game play gets even duller, how about you all stop protecting AA's with 2-5 members, set a limit and have some kinda rules to it rather than helping this crap.... Answer this question and tell me if im just awful?!?! How is an AA with 3-5members and 50% to 80% inactivity really gonna help you? in my opinion i see no issue with giving them tech deals and protecting your assets, no one want's there dealer robbed i get that but if a serious war breaks out is that inactive AA really gonna be able to balance your odds of winning that war?

[quote name='goldielax25' timestamp='1307207423' post='2723783'] This same kind of analysis would have probably had people saying Rok should have beaten down PC, or that at worst it would be an even fight. But you cant statistically measure someone's resolve, activity, or skill. By those measures, your 'balanced fight' above would be a massacre, although NoR seem to be decently competent. [/quote] agreed, thats because PC is/was everyones nightmare and now we're an even scarier beast that no longer hides in your closet and lurks under your bed but the beast that will eat your face slaughter your men women and children then post the pics of what happens when we pop out of the shadows because of haterz tryna hate

yes you can its perfectly legal.. i've done it once or twice but the people paying me knew how well i placed my foot up my opponent's bleep, bleep, ect. and 3mil/2000 soldiers were sent upon declaring or a day after. but then again can you fight? im considering dropping NS so i can make you the 66th nation that i've anarchied... but seriously try it, have fun, grow.. good luck

yea i have an idea how about everyone stop protecting micro aa's seriously we all need to wipe em out break em down then once they're nice and destroyed we keep them down by having "Thrashing Thursday's" in which every Thursday everyone on bob thrashes the life out of a micro crap aa... a year away from the OWF and i come back to these type of post??? looks like i shoulda stayed away due to abominarions such as this, bye im off to vomit >

Nice... all these tears taste awesome!

hmm.. yea \m/ got smaller a bit harder for me to pick on mircro alliances but oh well.. \m/ will survive none the less

Trust me I will destroy you and you Alliance when you step out of peace mode. the ones that aren't in my range i will pay small nations 6 mil 200tech and 4k soldiers to wipe out your lower ranks. \m/ is just waiting for a piece of you so any one who joins is begging to be destoyed. and a bonus depending on how well they do!!!

I hear \m/ is in the business of taking out nations. for a smooth 15mil i can handle him for you
