General Specific

Very true and like all of my NSO mates, I also want to express my eternal gratitude to the STA. Niiice...

Under review for creativity, B)

Good show all around for what we all know are very time-consuming processes. \o tie-fighters and such

Indeed. and exactly.

Interesting issue of TWiP, with rewarding commentary throughout as well. I especially enjoyed reading the fine communications here made by Emperor Revenge and Lord Moldavi. I agree that we also can't help but appreciate Hizzy's guiding logic and humor in the strange discussions that often spring up in reaction to these underground publications. Hizzy's balanced deployments of logic and humor never fail to anarchy my facepalming troops.* *See, it takes a Hizzy to make lines like that work.

I'll be couping the leader whose post follows this one. :lol: edit: He posts too quickly

At first I was like: I have named the destroyers of nations: comfort, plenty, and security - out of which grow a bored and slothful cynicism, in which rebellion against the world as it is, and myself as I am, are submerged in listless self-satisfaction. But then I was like: The people come with nets to fish for potatoes in the river, and the guards hold them back; they come in rattling cars to get the dumped oranges, but the kerosene is sprayed. And they stand still and watch the potatoes float by, listen to the screaming pigs being killed in a ditch and covered with quicklime, watch the mountains of oranges slop down to a putrefying ooze; and in the eyes of the people there is the failure; and in the eyes of the hungry there is a growing wrath. In the souls of the people the grapes of wrath are filling and growing heavy, growing heavy for the vintage. Then I got distracted... and remembered to ask: Is the juice worth the squeeze? But then I LOL'd Edited to explain that this was posted as an answer to the topic of when the next "great" war will be. Sorry if it seems too flip, but this is meant to be a serious OOC reply.

We obviously approach this game very differently. I recognize that you see player IP address tracking as important to your alliance's in game security. I personally, as a player of the game, believe this practice of maintaining IP address records injects a distracting and inappropriate level of paranoia to the game. Hopefully, this OOC disagreement we have here in this OOC forum can stay out of the game, too. Deal?

That actually is irrelevant. If there is an information leak due to a spy, you isolate and feed the information and track it. There are many, many ways of doing this and I know most in gov are familiar with these practices. As of now all I see with this current mindset is the message that rerolls are guilty of spying until proven innocent.

How about we catch those spies based on their in-character activities? It's really not that hard.

I see no reason for an apology from this player. The only question I have is why some think it is a good idea to save the IP addresses of old deleted characters? I'd like to see an apology for that. Assymetrical warfare? Mhawk, surely you can agree that we should be better than this in playing a character-driven game? How about we try playing this game as scary, fun, obnoxious or even annoying characters and not as alliance-recorded and shared IP addresses? Or should we just appeal to Admin that our nation and ruler names be changed to our IP addresses and irc hostmasks?

Nice trade!

That's not hatred.

It is quite disturbing. Such is the way of the dark side?

Doesn't it beguile you that cheesecake uses a pie crust? Also, is Planet Bob's military-industrial complex conducive to order or chaos?

Just trying to help.

It is quite satisfying to see the full weight and supreme power of my 2,015.680 NS put to such good use. Also, thank you to our well-wishers.

Congrats to the swift and mighty Sith!

Thank you, cousin!

Thank you, most aptly named Heinous One.

She passed out from shock in the announcement of existence thread. edit: oops, that was Amidala

The NSO is headed by a Sith lord, what more is there to know? Also, thanks, Deruvian, loved it.

What kind of world do we live in where an honorable and benevolent Crown Prince would take a festering hive of Sith scum under his paw? Also, thank you STA!

Fear attracts the fearful. The strong. The weak. The innocent. The corrupt. Fear. Fear is my ally.

You should join the New Pacific Order. Also, you scare me.
