  2. I'm certain this has been asked before, but cannot find the answer. Could someone inform me which mods are responsible for in-game flags please?
  3. / Late to the party I now have this stuck in my head as an image of Emperor Brehon :S [img]http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lzi7wldJQg1qizhbj.gif[/img] // am sure NPO media can modify
  4. I just noticed - GPF should be below the spoiler tag in here, but are missing
  5. [quote name='Dajobo' timestamp='1341449970' post='3003694'] I'm one of the few lucky enough not to be affected so far but I know many players right now are disadvantaged in TE because they have SE wars as well and doing both at once can be tight for time. Would it be possible to have update in TE be one hour earlier than SE? [/quote] Given the quicker pace of TE, why not 12 hr updates? So 6am and 6pm GMT, 12 midnight and 12 midday current server time Everyone gets a crappy one and a good one then, at least., even if Us college students can hit them all with a little planning. // I'd personally favour 6 hour updates to force folks to miss a few and completely level the field, but can't imagine getting enough support for that sadly
  6. Came for the Abney Park music, left disappointed // Also, congrats on your treaty I guess // For the uninitiated: Airship Pirate http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ri3zPE5OqJg Aether Shanty http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=05rR7nozsYg
  7. [quote name='Ayatollah Bromeini' timestamp='1335228666' post='2958101'] Indeed. Alliances who become sanctioned and then lose sanction still get to keep their flags, unless the rules have just very recently been changed.. any reason our flag was removed? [/quote] One hopes simple operator error behind the scenes, given the number of alliances who have performed the feat previously. // Hates commies,but loves that flag
  8. Which alliance was biggest giver if we take Voytek out of MKs numbers?

    War Movies - TOP 5

    So many missing, as you say. Ignoring historical inaccuracies (in some cases horrifically glaring)<br><br>Henry V (Kenneth Branagh version)<br>A Bridge Too Far<br>All Quiet on the Western Front<br>Schindlers List (well, it's war-era)<br>Kingdom of Heaven (extended cut)<br>Henry of Navarre<br>Arn, Knight Templar<br>Tristan and Isolde<br>The 300 Spartans<br>
  10. I remember being very indignant of it all // Ah, newbie naivety, back in the day
  11. [quote name='kerschbs' timestamp='1329841573' post='2925158'] I was referring to the screenshots of VX's and Dewsos speeches to the GA. While I can no longer remember the full speech, it was the "I tried to appease and work with NPO but got shot down. Now I want nothing to do with them politically speech." Someone altered either VX's or Dewsos's posts and removed the sections were they didn't want to hurt NPO militarily, but oppose them politically. However, that was a long time ago, so I may be mixing up some of the details. [/quote] The key photochop was changing "I am not calling for war" to "I am calling for war" in relation to helping LUE (then under surrender terms). Dewsos hadn't the spine to ever call for war...

  13. [quote name='ChairmanHal' timestamp='1326380299' post='2898059'] They are a "tough out". A baseball expression for a batter that will make your pitcher throw an excessive amount of balls to them and therefore run up their pitch count. A tough out does this by not swing wildly at bad pitches, fouling off good pitches, and doing their best to hit the ball where your fielders aren't. Note that a tough out doesn't necessarily have a good batting average, or many homeruns, but they are still good to have in your line up. Everything you say about TPF could be true. In my observation however when you stick them in the line of battle you do so knowing they aren't going to break and run. This frees up other forces who otherwise might have to be sent in to back up TPF elsewhere. On the other hand, there have been times they stayed well past the point that sensible alliances would have thrown in the towel--[b]that has caused them permanent damage through the years through lost members.[/b] [/quote] I agree with all except the bold - IMO, they have lost nothing by removing folks who won't go the distance / Remeber the Great Wars, and ludicrous surrender numbers that were an embarrassment to behold. // Didn't expect to be a TPF defender

  15. Members of alliances I have fought with this nation or a previous one since GWII: Genmay - 1 war - was excellent, but was only just in range and fighting down to hit me. Didn't waste the advantage though. (Hello, Irons82 now of Umbrella). \m/ (1st incarnation) - 1 war - they were terrible. Absolutely clueless. NATO - 4 wars - mixed bag. Didn't mess the stagger, technically middle ground, but no banter. Someone what soulless and dull TBH. A dissapointment. NPO - 9 wars - universally dull. No fight, no co-ordination. Just rolled over and took it, even when supposedly giving a beat-down left the allies to do the heavy lifting. (yes, yes, currently at war with them, but I mean this rather than propaganda). NpO - 2 wars - nuked the !@#$ out of me in VietFAN, when unable to fight back. Almost apologetic for not fighting "fair". TPF - 10 wars - Impressive. Competent, co-ordinated, good banter to boot. Would fight again Valhalla - 3 wars - Same as TPF Alliances I have fought alongside with this nation or a previous one since GWII: FARK - solid performance. When sober enough to remember there's war on. (Holy war and current war both, ironically enough) LUE - Back in the day, not too shabby, but [b][i]very [/i][/b]undergunned NAAC - Overrated. CN community views with rose-tinted spectacles. Good folks, but no powerhouse. WAPA - Keen, but lacked strategy or discipline. Fun though. NoR - Solid and dependable MK - Solid and dependable GOONS (sadism incarnation) - The SA crowd does love a war... Umbrella - Solid and dependable PC - Solid and dependable DT - Solid and dependable. Some didn't grasp that the guy with 2k more tech should lead nukings though
  16. [quote name='ironone' timestamp='1326208308' post='2896880'] This is how you make a video: [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ajhIWG6ny6s"]Ha!Ha![/url] [/quote] Oh God, I remember that the first time around
  17. Ha! I remember winning an OBR RP award of $3,000,000 just after GWIII. That was a pleasant 15 seconds, rather than minutes
  18. The senate is a weapon. End of.<br>
  19. Please can we get a variant wit the peaced out folks removed? This is eye-watering //again, thanks for the effort in producing/updating though
  20. [quote name='Lurunin' timestamp='1325730127' post='2892915'] am i the only one who is thinking FAN did not have a problem with NoR not fighting alongside them, but that NoR decided to use an Optional clause of a treaty to joined in a dog pile? (OP mentions being the #11 alliance to join the war on them i believe?) more along the lines of "it's cool that you don't want to fight with us man that's your own business....wait why the hell did you just attack our ally and we are allied ourselves?! Not only that, but why be a part of a curbstomp against said ally? where's the respect for us in all of this?" [/quote] Please don't forget that it was not only adding to the dogpile personally, but enabling it to grow through planned treaty chaining. Personally, I could handle Farkistan and NoR ending up on opposite sides of a conflict, even direct fire on one another within reason - but that move was a real kick in the teeth [quote name='Perceus' timestamp='1325733264' post='2892960'] oh thats because most of our nations are in the middle and upper tiers (30k and above) and well, you guys just stopped providing targets for us, trust me, ask around, our upper tier nations are bored 'cause they did damn too good of a job in bringing all our targets down to under 10k NS. If you have any of those 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90K nations in peace mode, tell them to come out! our members will gladly dance with them. [/quote] You'll find that TPF seem to have done the heavy lifting your side of the trenches, actually.
  21. [quote name='Striderwanabe' timestamp='1325788965' post='2893418'] It's funny how many people think this is a DoW thread. Best of luck FAN, are we still on for June 6? [/quote] Might have to make it December 16th at this rate It also amuses me that the NoR members in this thread have the most dignity and class by quite some margin (despite being on the end of the announcement), especially compared to some of the uninvolved, uninformed, and uniformly loud-mouth pond scum adding their two cents worth. To better days than these ahead between Reich and Federation. *Knocks back schnapps*
  22. How about instead of a half dozen colours, the closed fronts just get taken off like in a sane diagram? //This is still useful though, so thanks for that
  23. [img]http://bighugelabs.com/output/motivator91bee35852353aa3d694f37f58822e14bc980826.jpg[/img] //Yeah, it's @£$%, but Wrath of Khan was just on TV
  24. [quote name='Doitzel' timestamp='1323371571' post='2869408'] I'm pretty sure most people here don't have friends, nor know how to make any. [/quote] Ain't that the stinking truth
