[quote name='Mogar' timestamp='1314921641' post='2792613'] i'm in the top 30 posters, and i have an active social life. [/quote] Or so you say Anyway, Admin take as long as it takes to make it great. I'd rather wait a few more days so you can make sure bugs are out than launch it now and have some bugs in that will completely ruin the game.

[quote name='infinite citadel' timestamp='1313125899' post='2778403'] Nice blitz RE [/quote] Nice counter-attack by you guys as well. Wasn't able to anarchy either of my two LE guys. I am so looking forward to this.

LET'S GET SOME!!!

[quote name='Thomasj_tx' timestamp='1311318519' post='2761146'] Not at all. This war was being planned WELL before your feckless sniping. As I said, you have not yet been able to figure out facts from deception. I think that you may have some buddies in TE. Ask around. Someone may actually tell you the truth behind our DoW. So let's just FIGHT, and....... Have some fun! [/quote] Wow, all my rounds on TE and I have never seen someone so stubborn and unwilling to admit they were wrong, especially about something as trivial as why we are at war. Dude, it's just war. That's what TE is about. Just admit you are wrong. Nobody is right all the time and nobody cares if you are wrong on this. The only thing we care about is the truth.

[quote name='ADude' timestamp='1309973706' post='2750481'] Yes, because me having crap internet at times makes RE incompetent. And I thought I was directing the whining comment to your troll attempt about picking you as one of three targets. [/quote] It's true, he does have crap internet. I can vouch for that. In fact, everyone on IRC can vouch for that. Anyway, both of you stop bickering like a married couple. Adude, you're not going to be able to change peoples opinion of RE when they are not even open for logic and reason. Mayzie, actually I don't even know what it is you are trying to gain out of this argument. You weren't the one who got nuked after peace yet you are acting like it was. The only thing I can see you trying to get out of this is convincing RE that they are crap which, really, you think that is going to work? You're telling someone that they, themselves, are crap. That not only sounds stupid but is stupid but hey, we all have stupid ideas at times. Just get past them and move on.

[center][img]http://i587.photobucket.com/albums/ss315/Folger_Soldier/EagleSPQR-1.jpg[/img][/center] I'm not one for long stories that touch heart strings. Never really have been and, most likely, never will be. So, here are the facts. For those who are on IRC and who visit/idle in the public IRC channel, you might have noticed my activity has greatly declined. This is due in large part to college having started and in a smaller part, due to my interests being drawn elsewhere. That is why I am resigning from being the Emperor of the Roman Empire and turning the reigns over to ADude. I will be remaining a member of the high government, though, likely not an active member. I really haven't even decided if I'm going to keep my TE nation. Well, that's all I have to say. It's been fun. Former Emperor, Carpatus o/ Emperor ADude o/ The Empire o/ TE

Wow, how original. Oh and do tell how we bullied anyone last round.

[quote name='dogbite' timestamp='1281850787' post='2416443'] I already declare a TPC win. [/quote] I second this though in the spirit of good faith, good luck to both sides and may the skies turn green and your people experience change.

[quote name='lonewolfe2015' timestamp='1281849702' post='2416415'] Carpatus, you seem like a good guy, but to be honest, you don't have what it takes to lead in TE. Perhaps you can learn it along the way, I know I started out in a similar fashion (trying to lead with honor, yadda yadda) It's taken over a year now, but I do truly appreciate the bitter rivalry I had with Tiberius at the height of the MHA-RE conflict, it was entertaining. But the truth is, great alliances war in TE and do good at warring. The very best alliances are the ones which can combine warring with entertainment and excitement, while also causing their enemies to enjoy the war. [/quote] And, to that, I will just say, wait and see next round.

[quote name='Confusion' timestamp='1281842782' post='2416279'] I wasn't trying to insult RE, I would've done a much better job. What I meant was that when an alliance has 160 members, the reality is that the majority won't be quality or high tier members. And yes, I'd be more impressed if you'd have less dead weight and more quality members. And it's just my opinion, which many seem to agree with. Of course I don't expect you to agree with me since you're in RE. Confusion. [/quote] I'm not going to deny it. That's the price that comes with being at the top. However, Confusion, it seems like you don't have a way with words because every time you say it, it comes out sounding like you're a (since I can't say the actual word I want to) jerk. [quote name='lonewolfe2015' timestamp='1281844345' post='2416301'] I haven't been exporting anything from the nation of Cheech and Chong to the Roman Empire lately, so what are you smoking?[/quote] I don't know about the rest of the alliance but I don't need to import any since I have my own garden in the emperor's palace. [quote]You guys got a flag by doing nothing, you've made a reputation on doing nothing, the last great thing to happen to RE was the MHA rivalry, which isn't there anymore either. [/quote] Don't use the word nothing. It does not apply here. A simple act of collecting taxes for ONE day is doing something. Even if nothing else is done after that, something was still done. Since Aragorn finished at the top means he did quite a lot, completely opposite of nothing. At least RE wars every round, unlike some flag chasing alliances. (We don't flag chase and we still got a flag, huh, wonder what that means ) My last word on this is that great is a matter of opinion. I don't see attacking or being attacked by MHA every round as a great thing. I see it has a dull, boring thing. [quote]Oh well, I'd love to debate with a sleeping man, but perhaps Tibs can come out and say something inspiring and rally the troops. Tibs, you really should lead RE again, it's really not that hard to lead in TE versus SE, even with minimal time you could start returning RE to someone half-respectable. [/quote] Hey, we agree on something. I've been trying to get Tibs back for a while now. I've told him that if he ever wants back, I would give him the throne instantly. However, he has not chosen that path so the best I can do is lead how I see fit. I take advice from Tibs when he offers it and ask advice from him when I need it. That doesn't mean I lead exactly like Tibs, nor am I trying to. I had a list of things I wanted to do that I felt would make RE better. It combined old with the new though, unfortunately, that list was lost in the great fire that claimed RE's forums this round and left us a little broken. Rest assured that next round, the list will be back into action.

[quote name='CubaQuerida' timestamp='1281625291' post='2412706'] AZTEC and RD are virtually the same currently. #1 avg NS vs #2, same number of nations and by TE standards as fair a matchup as you get. Problem is, here comes Nordic laming it up versus an alliance 1/3 its size. I have no beef with AZTEC, but NB's actions seem just ridiculous. [/quote] Ok, look, this is TE. People will do things you don't like. It's happened to me and I've done it to other people. I'm even positive I will do it again in the future. Whining about it doesn't achieve anything. The best thing to do is respectfully ask them to withdraw and then if they don't, fight. That's all there is to it. Having these long, drawn out, and fruitless arguments simply serves as a way for you to justify, to yourself, that you are right. If you need to justify to yourself that you are right; then, clearly, you are not. *quietly withdraws back to his cave of solitude*

Wow, that lasted about as long as my hangover the other night.

Wow, are you guys in that much need of attention that you must destroy your nation to get it. You know what, I'm not going to deal you either of you two or rongue for that matter anymore. Consider this my last word to you three.
