  1. So peacemoding huge swathes of your AA is not worthy of PM barbs, but other things are...i would dearly love to know when its appropriate to make those barbs if its not this exact instance.
     

     

    Considering PM barbs have been thrown constantly for the past 9+ years, how about hold off for 9 years before making them again.  If we are still playing in 9+ years, feel free to make them again.  

  2. It does seem a bit disingenuous to criticize an alliances use of peace mode when you aren't keeping the ones they do bring out at war. 

     

    Not to mention the fact that it's the same old tired propaganda that has been spewed for the last 9+ years and really shows a severe lack of creativity.  

  3. Oh cool, while the PM % remains in the ridiculous 75+ 65+ range, we've seen some upper tier guys come out to play.

    Unfortunately due to blown staggers, at least 2 of those nations will only get 1 round of war :(

    I guess super fast coordination comes with a pricetag :(

     

    edited for updated PM %

     

    Again, can't you think of something better than peace mode?

     

    Seriously, come up with something new.  CN can't change for the better when every war has someone going "lol you're using peace mode".

    Schools in which children from low-income families make up at least 40 percent of enrollment are eligible to use Title I funds for schoolwide programs that serve all children in the school.

     

    yeah, you can't really use the overall wealth of a town in ever deciding how good the school is.  When I lived in Dallas, I was next to arguably the best public high school in the state, but if you drove just 5 miles down the road, you arrived in one of the poorest schools, where almost all of the students were on some sort of assistance.  

  5. If your alliance disbands, it clearly failed. I don't think anyone is disputing MK's various past contributions to CN, both positive and negative. The fact of the matter is that they've now disbanded. All of those other alliance that haven't disbanded figured out a way to keep it together. You are arguing that not existing is better than existing for those alliances. I think that's a ridiculous statement. Very few alliances did anything against MK because NPO decreed that no one was allowed to hit MK. That has nothing to do with alliance quality. LUE disbanded after a losing war while claiming it was out of boredom as well. We'll see if these nations hang around as a group, or if they just fade away.

     

    As for the idiocy of forcing your allies to surrender to your coalition and putting your name on that document, you'll have to talk to NPO about that. I think the surrender document is pretty clear.

     

    Utter stupidity.  This argument that all alliances that simply exist are better than all those who have existed in the past is simplistic and ridiculous.  Like enderland has already said, just having nations on an AA says nothing about the quality of an alliance or proves that it is better than alliances that have existed in the past.  

     

    Let's push this absurdity, you would argue that Zulu alliance is better than Vox populi, or that the North American Confederacy is a better alliance than RoK.  Nothing more needs to be said.  

     

    You are arguing that not existing is better than existing for those alliances. I think that's a ridiculous statement

     

    absolutely.  

     

    Here's two examples, one that did it right, another that did it wrong.  

     

    Vox populi did it right, they disbanded after their main mission (taking NPO out of power) was completed.  

     

    Doin it rong:  GGA trying to keep the ship afloat for way too long, making themselves the butt of an even bigger joke.  

  6. And yet you all signed that document.

     

    Yeah man, with powerhouses like :

     

    the Union of Communist Republics

    the Pirates of the Parrot Order

    the Libertarian Socialist Federation

    CCC

    Nebula-X

    the Zulu Alliance

     

    They definitely defeated MK in war.  

     

    I mean, the only reason MK disbanded is because we were scared out of our boots of having to face these fine alliances in war again.  

  7. Ok, let me use a different example. A few years ago I decided to rogue UPN. A few (3) Athens guys decided to quad me at update for past transgressions (londo, wickedj and maybe rush?). Anyways, really good warrers. They knew their shit. UPN on the other hand had nations 60k sending 40 bombers at me. UPN was doing no damage. I looked to the future and realized that I didn't want to let my nation burn for Peggy Sue, but I knew going into it that UPN wouldn't be able to take me and they weren't able to. I took zero damage from UPN guys. In the end, I still surrendered to everyone I was at combat with. People gave me endless shit for surrendering to UPN, but they did no damage to me. Athens defeated me in war, not UPN.

     

    First off, what we (MK) did was in response to a larger world conflict, second off, I would argue that UPN did not defeat you, the only reason people would give you endless shit is because they are *insert forbidden word here, but it starts with tro...*  You should know when people are trying to get your goat.  

  8. Were PPO even in range of DBDC? :P

     

    I think you're missing the point. Allow me to elaborate, if you read Potato's post he cleary states that CCC wants to (finally?) win a war against MK. Now, let me lay out last war. CCC declares war on INT and ODN. MK declares war on CCC (and GOD for that matter). At the end of the conflict, MK surrendered to the alliances they were at combat with. One of those alliances was CCC. This has nothing to do with damage taken, this has to do with the fact that MK surrendered to the alliances they were at war with. Which means CCC won. Granted, I do see where you're coming from with the stated conclusion.

     

    Arguing that CCC defeated MK in war is beyond stupid.  Using your logic, Zulu alliance defeated MK in war.  

     

    Yes, it appears in the document, however those with half a brain and the ability to properly reason know the distinction.
