The Chosen One

Congrats you all, I'm glad to finally see this. This alliance has fantastic people within it. And it seems you've already got yourselves some great allies. Good luck in the future, and let me know if you ever need anything!

A alliance full really awesome people! I do approve! Let me know if you need anything! Good luck!

Lot's of fine government in our fine alliance! Congrats to us! I for one am certainly glad to be calling R&R home.

I'm defiantly shocked about this, as former allies to LoSS, and a good friend of Dagz I wish both parties luck in the future.

Good luck! You have a great Protectorate!

While we have tried to avoid closing the curtains on our beloved alliance, the membership along with the government have decided to finally draw them to a close to experience other things. While the alliance may be gone our culture will live on dispersed through Cyber Nations and will never stop being LOUD. From our rocky start on September, 25th 2008 when four alliances came together to create something. LOUD has come through each time with a new experience that has added to our alliance improving it and bringing it to new height. Unafraid of facing odds or whether we could come through them LOUD persevered, making friends along the way and lending a hand as well. Being involved in two wars and three fronts we can proudly hold our head up high in saying we helped our friends and have never profited from war. Making friends from adversaries as well as other combatants involved LOUD has had an positive impact however insignificant it may seem. We will continue on in spirit and will celebrate our spirit every year as long as it survives, flying the alliance affiliation "League Of United Defense" proudly every September 25 for LOUD will never be truly silenced. Our good friends and allies in RIA, and R&R, and the alliances in LEO have agreed to protect our AA indefinitely which we greatly thank them for. Now for some words from a few of our own alliance members: Quotes: Penaxium: we shared our defence like brothers and sisters. We fought side by side in wars defending each others. So, It's been pleasure to be in a same alliance with you guys. Thanks. Dr Don: We will bring the spirit of LOUD with us where ever our members end up! I like to think of this, not as the end of LOUD, but the dissemination of LOUD thru out planet Bob. Let the seeds of LOUD take sprout and turn up the volume everywhere we go! "Once LOUD always LOUD", in our heart's, current and former members; we will always be LOUD. Hero89: Best alliance I have been apart of in Cybernations. Great community of friends, more like a family than any online community I've ever been apart of. Fastdrop : Wow; I am going to miss LOUD great group of players and a great team. The Collective: I came to LOUD not knowing anyone, not knowing how long I would stay or if I would even like it. As I played I made many friends and after my first week I thought I could never leave LOUD. People like Demag, the Hero bros, TCO, Balthier and many many more have been so nice to me and gave me the advice I needed at the drop of a hat. In my short time with LOUD I made many friends, learned how to sled properly and build a great nation from day one. It wasnt just about CN with LOUD, it was about a community. People with all kinds of backgrounds coming together to play a game. My biggest regret is that I didn't try harder towards the end. I wouldn't say I gave up but like most of us I got burned out. They recognized my abilities and nurtured them in way I have never seen in CN. Always LOUD, Always Proud! Signed The Collective of The Collection deestroyer: all for one and one for all King Mendoza II: Well, LOUD had hosted a great competition that, when I won, greatly improved my nation so much in a manner of hours. It just proves how generous and amazing the members of LOUD was and would have continued to be to the future members. LOUD, in its way, has its own activity in war and tech-trades, trade-settings, etc etc. You were all so helpful and patient. :3 AlSamr: A very friendly and closely knit community. Kinda sucks we're expanding :/ Korlath: LOUD is an amazing group and I am lucky and honored to be part of it. Stefano Palmieri: So long LOUD, Ive known you guys since NOVA signed the ODP with you. LOUD all ways will have a special place in my heart. Cello Chick: LOUD was...well, LOUD was definitely LOUD..and tons of fun!! I really enjoyed being a part of LOUD, both being a diplomat here, as well as a member. I'm so happy I've had this opportunity of being accepted into such a fun and loving alliance, where I've stalked a lot of my old CN friends as well as making a ton of new friends. Thank you, and good luck to everyone, wherever you go!!! Y'all are freakin amazing, I hope you know just how much *wubz* -cello Warmongrel: I want y'all to know, that I really enjoyed my short time here. I'm sad this is the way it ends. Best of luck to you all. Loud and Lovin' it -Warmongrel SnowyRose Even though our brothers and sisters are going different ways, we shall all be one big family. Over the years we've grown a tight bound, helping others siblings when in need. If we are to find ourselves in war against one another we shall not hold back, but whatever happens, we shall forever be a part of the LOUD family as long as we rule our nations! As we sign off we're all 'Living it LOUD'. Jache Even though I have not been in LOUD long. I have been in LOUD for a little over 28 days. We got a LOUD family where most of the members and friends could all be related someway. So no matter where LOUD members go the LOUD Family member bond will stay. I wish we have an actually web of who is supposedly related to who but thinks kept on changing and becoming really hectic. Therefore the original LOUD family knows who they are related too and the newer ones who joined latter are just family members. MasterofWind It was fun being part of loud, like many others I wasn't part of loud for nearly as long as some of the other members but I really enjoyed being part of this alliance. It was small and growing alliance that I had hope would grow to be a power house in the CN world. Thank you for the time here. From Spartan Diplomat to LOUD Member. From Member to High Chancellor of Internal Affairs. From HCoIA to Minister of War. From MoW to Ascendant. [quote]Balthier: My position in LOUD was irrelevant and unimportant to me, as long as I helped make a better alliance. Not for myself, but for our members and potential recruits. But I wasn't perfect, I left LOUD once and went to a place I originally called home. Within 6 months of leaving, I was back. LOUD has had some epic times and needless to say, on many occasions, we really did Laugh Out LOUD. I am disappointed to see this happen to LOUD, but at the same time, I can understand the reasons for it. Here at LOUD, we created more than an alliance, more than just a legacy and more than just memories. We created strong, long lasting friendships and most of all(I think I can speak for those who are active on this), we created a family. The name of LOUD may die and fade in to the shadows. The legacy may end and memories pass. But our friendships... Our family. Will stand the test of time. I'm not good at goodbyes or speeches, so I will leave the speeches to the experts and I need not say goodbye. Balthier.[/quote] A special thanks to our allies and friends: R&R, RIA, LoSS, AiD, Brigade, TUF, SuperFriends, Teen Titans, and LEO. For our past allies we thank you as well: Some of you guys and gals on yellow team, and of course NOIR. And let's not forget some of old allies who are no longer around: NOVA, TBH, and FUCN. We could write a page more about all of the individuals who has helped us throughout our alliance history but we'll keep things short because you know who you are and what a great impact you've had on this alliance, and for that we're all forever grateful. Our IRC will be staying up so we can all keep in touch with one another and our old allies, a part of our forums will also remain up hosting our history, a members only section, and a section for some spam and artwork. For the most part most of us will be moving to R&R the others can go where they wish.

Thank you TOOL, this is a great and outstanding honor to receive both of these medals. You all fought valiantly on the battlefield and also proved to be just as valiant when it came to diplomacy. Cheers to you all!

I'd also like to give thanks to all the members of LOUD for everything, as well as our allies for their support in this move, and all the others who've gave us a welcoming hand. Also thanks to all those whom are welcoming us! A special shout out and thanks to KingLC and Demag for helping come up with different flag designs until we finally got winner!

It was fun being on the dark side of things, but now we're in the Orange. Major shout to all of those in NOIR and other black alliance whom befriended us while we was there, good luck to you all in the future. Now we're on Orange team I hope we can make all the oranges in the groves a bit LOUD! Be sure to swing by #LOUD and have a LOUD brew with our new LOUD Bear! o/ LOUD o/ Black (one last time.) o/ Orange

Good to see you all celebrating one year!

It's sad to see that your leaving CN TL, you will be missed, because it was great knowing you. For what ever awaits you in RL I wish you the best of luck. Take care of yourself!

I must say it was a good fight TOOL, you showed much honor. Just some shout outs now: Mia, thanks for all the cookies! They are delicious! I might have to hire you to bake for me once again! And the story was great, best read in a while. the dakotans, you put up one heck of a fight, the best fight I've had anyone put up in years, you were also one of the most fun and honorable adversaries I've ever fought. Thanks for some fun. Good luck rebuilding to all.

Congrats on peace you all.

[quote name='x Tela x' date='17 February 2010 - 01:16 PM' timestamp='1266430595' post='2187721'] Can't speak for anyone else, but I was just responding to Mathias' statement, and Poobah was replying to that. It's classic, no matter what the action is, when "you guys" do it, it's strategery, but when "we" do it, it's cowardice! The situation is basically identical, except for in Mathias' example, the alliances actually had non-optional clauses in their treaties. I don't begrudge LOUD going to war with their allies, and I don't think anyone else aside from the trolls do either. Anyway, good luck, etc. Whatever. Also, hello Tippmann. [/quote] I think its safe to say LOUD has not called anyone in this matter a coward, nor before. And thanks Tela its good to hear you don't begrudge us for going to war for our allies, and thanks for the good luck too. It's good to hear from you. Goodluck to you too. [quote name='Poobah' date='17 February 2010 - 01:17 PM' timestamp='1266430677' post='2187724'] My bad for being out of town for those two days. And I understand strategy, it's just that the hypocrisy that when people used strategy with the TPF war around the holidays, they were cowards and horrible allies, but when you use it it's some great idea. I'm using the same rhetoric that alliances like IRON endured a few months ago from people on your side. [/quote] My bad I mistook you for someone who might like to dig things back up for fun, I didn't take into consideration you might have been gone or dealing with RL issues. RL > CN (for most.) But what I do see here is the fact your holding something against us that happened in the past to a completely different alliance, in a completely different war against us. I think you'll find if you go back and read through the topics that no one from LOUD ever called anyone a coward in them, nor have we here. So please next time before you get off trying smear our name, call us hypocrites, cowards, or what ever else comes to your mind, then please at least take the time to stop and think that we was never, nor will we ever be one of those alliances to spout out that "alliance a" is this because they didn't do this right that second. Although I will tell you whether or not you believe it or not that we actually did have things planned out, and it was not just because we was afraid of the "big guys", because trust me, we might be small but we fear no alliance when our friends are in danger, because we value and honor our friends, and when we sign a treaty with a alliance you had better bet we'll be there for them, even if means we'll lose every last one of our pixels.

I can not help but to wonder why some of you can't understand the simple logic of strategy.. Its this simple really, we were ready to make a move days before LoSS or RIA even DoWed, the simple fact of the matter is our allies used strategy and activated our oA's when they thought the time was right to apply a little extra pressure to the situation in hope that maybe, just maybe it would speed things up a bit.. But I mean hey if you don't get simple strategy then you should most likely update your war guides because your leaving out a large factor of warfare. Forgive me for being so undiplomatic but I also can't help but to lol at the fact Poobah felt the need to get this thread active again after it laid dormant for two days and was all the way on the second page of Alliance Announcements, good show on you Poobah for feeling the need to continue ranting on.

[quote name='Poobah' date='14 February 2010 - 04:03 PM' timestamp='1266181419' post='2181214'] Because you entered seven days late on the winning side of a war using the optional aggression part of your treaty. In other words, you entered into an aggressive war against an alliance that is at war with what, 4 alliances other alliances? [/quote] The simple fact you seem to keep missing is we came in when we were asked, not just because we thought jumping in right now would score us more war spoils.

To be honest despite what some of say, you seem to know truly know nothing about LOUD, if you did saying we are "bandwagoning" would not even cross your mind, but what would cross your mind is the simple fact we have allies whom asked for support, and we simply answered the call. Now tell me since when did helping allies and following treaties become "bandwagoning?" And if answering our allies call for support is "bandwagoning" then I suppose you can call us guilty. We're just to support our honorable friends.

Perhaps you all should get your facts straight before you go on rambling about something you seemingly have not a clue about. We are just here to support our allies, and if you have a problem with us doing so then I shall ask you bite your tongue and keep that to yourself for I do not wish for you waste anyone's times having to read you insignificant spam and flames.

Prosperous are those who, in the name of honor and good will, defend their allies in the valley of darkness. And we will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy our allies. And you will know, we are from LOUD when we lay our vengeance upon thee. We have decided, that on this day, the League of United Defense will honor the Optional Aggression clause in 2 of our MDoAP's: RIA and LoSS For the past week TOOL has been fighting with our allies and causing minor disturbances in their nice gardens. This kind of behavior angers LOUD greatly. Tonight ladies and gentlemen, my brothers and sisters in LOUD will lay down their vengeance upon TOOL.

Congrats guys RIA is pure awesomeness!

Seems to be one of those things had to be done. Good luck to both parties in the future. o/ RoK!
