  1. [quote name='Prodigal Moon' timestamp='1285976498' post='2471636'] So I guess I was wrong then. Your values aren't incoherent. They're just not strong enough for any but the most extreme actions to conflict with them.. [/quote] Pretty much.
  2. [quote name='Lusitan' date='06 March 2010 - 04:53 PM' timestamp='1267912664' post='2216285'] You don't want to derail [i]this[/i] thread? [/quote] At the very least right now the discussion is still tangentially related to the ongoing conflict.
  3. [quote name='ChairmanHal' date='06 March 2010 - 01:29 PM' timestamp='1267900424' post='2216108'] Haflinger, read and recognize. Aggressive action is forbidden*, but dangling a small alliance or two in front of someone else in case they might attack and allow you come in with an over-the-top, well coordinated counterattack planned for weeks/months in advance is acceptable. Got it? Thanks. * - unless your CB is at least 4-5 months old or older [/quote] Are you talking about Karma? If so, we've been over this !@#$ before and it is just as ludicrous now as it was back then. Furthermore if you are talking about Karma let's take this to PMs because I don't want to derail the thread.
  4. [quote name='Bob Janova' date='06 March 2010 - 08:30 AM' timestamp='1267882539' post='2215852'] MK might have plenty of members 'prepared for months of war', but I doubt that they are prepared to do that in the hegemonic oppressor role. It's much easier to get people to take nukes for the cause when you're fighting for your survival, which I imagine is why certain C&Gers are desperately trying to paint that picture in this case. [/quote] You really don't know anything about MK, do you? We believe we were aggressively attacked (I know you don't believe this, but we do and that's the crux of the argument so don't start with me on this) and we will fight for months to ensure the perpetrators get what we feel is their just desserts. There are alliances that will likely feel some degree of war weariness but ours is not one of them.
  5. An unsurprisingly terrible topic by an unsurprisingly terrible alliance. Here's to hoping the next one isn't such a tease.
  6. [quote name='Yevgeni Luchenkov' date='31 January 2010 - 02:06 PM' timestamp='1264964767' post='2148019'] To my esteemed opponent, Lafayette, regarding our booming nuclear missiles exchange program: [i]Never gonna give you up, Never gonna let you down, Never gonna run around and desert you.[/i] [/quote] Dear Yevgeni, I want your internet connection to be able to buy back troops at peak traffic flow in the middle of five or six of us wailing on you all at once.
  7. As much as it makes the bile rise in my throat, and even though Bilrow's arguments are nothing more than a string of !@#$ty ad hominem attacks, there's really no basis for an argument here. I'd say that the Viridian Entente 2.0 is the same alliance as the first one culturally, but really they're seperate political entities and it should be noted as such. This is approaching Vladimir levels of historical revisionism, guys, and it's kind of embarrassing. No one has made any exceptions for the fifteen variations of the ICP, for example, and I see no reason to make the distinction here.
  8. I remember being Legion's Minister of Communications, which meant I had a nice title and could act like I was important without really being important at all. I was one of those Legionnaires who thought our refusal to enter was complete and total idiocy, so I jumped ship on the first day of war and rejoined GATO. I ended up getting gang-raped by TOP in one of the more impressive attacks made on my nation. I also remember being appointed Battalion Commander of GATO's top nations, and how everyone was getting absolutely clobbered. GATO had such high turnover in the upper ranks due to its constant infighting that there simply weren't that many people who could stay in the alliance long without burning out. After like a week of fighting there was more GATO drama when the foreign minister tried to get peace but was overruled for !@#$%^&* drama reasons, and that was the point I pretty much gave up on GATO. I think the problem with CN these days is that there are very few fossils like myself left over from the early days, when the political situation was so much more malleable and an MDP was the highest you went with a treaty. Everyone knew where they stood politically. Nowadays, we have leaders who came to power largely during the Hegemony era, and the caution and fear of being rolled still clings as a relic of those times. Hopefully the recent tryst has made it clear where people fall and we'll see more open aggression between the two sides, but I doubt it.
  9. can't fight a war without the proper support, bravo tyga
  10. Good luck fellow ex-Pacifican Scum You better be around 'n' stuff
  11. On a more meaningful note, late I checked \m/ was at a state of war with NpO prior to its disbandment. I didn't see anything about it in the OP, but I must admit I am curious as to whether or not you ever resolved these issues.
  12. Congratulations on bringing back a terrible alliance I guess. Hope it ends the same way, but do make it quicker this time.
  13. I celebrated my three years a while back, although tbf I took a long break in between. It's not so bad if you know how to use your time. If you don't, uhhh, good luck.
  14. I have always been fond of this one: http://forums.cybernations.net/index.php?showtopic=55045
  15. A vote for Michiel de Ruyter is a vote for justice, equality, and all that is good in CN.
  16. Indeed, polisofboy am great genius in all CN and I have trouble believe people fail understanding his genius WHO NOT
  17. gravedigging lol LUE is gone. Don't !@#$ on their legacy, let the dead lie buried because you're not going to continue their legacy.
  18. I have always been consistent in my dislike of Francesca ever since she aided enemies of ours during the war.
