[quote name='Methrage' timestamp='1282205375' post='2422944'] did offer $4.5m to Bob Janova, although he rejected it [/quote] Oh god Why would you do this Methrage? That is just a wasted Aid Slot for Mr. Janova (you should at least have filled a slot with Technology)... If you are going to send a slot of cash it obviously makes more good with smaller countries.

[quote name='Methrage' timestamp='1282204021' post='2422915'] My alliance member that is active got out of bill lock thanks to NSO sending him aid. . . . [/quote] Can I maybe recommend that next time you could Aid him yourself, which would avoid getting you involved in these hilarious shenanigans? Also: are your "Alliance" attacking VE or is it just you? (OOC: too lazy to log in ) Plus please reply to Mr. Romano so the fun can accelerate.

[quote name='Methrage' timestamp='1282202495' post='2422889'] I stated the facts and don't think I'm in the wrong, but that VE is wrong in attacking NSO to begin with. If its a criminal act to help NSO, then I guess I don't mind breaking the law. [/quote] The next time that you get these urges Methrage, just sit down, take a deep breath, and do the exact opposite of what you first intended to do. I mean, you should really have learned by now how these things end for you, ok? Also are you dragging your "Alliance" down with you too? (Some one posted they was attacking VE too.) If so,... oh god this is just so dumb

[quote name='kulomascovia' timestamp='1282167560' post='2422029'] I'd rather not lose 3 improvement slots over some silly war over $6 million. [/quote] Those are still only slots, so at most they make shifting Improvements around a little bit more complicated. And you only need to do that every few weeks, while the diplomatic fallout of the "silly war" is available in all its glory around the clock, day in and day out here in our Bobian halls of international relations. Nay, [i]fie![/i] say I; let us all come together and drive GRL beyond its last known point -- we must try to excel ourself always.

[quote name='Andover' timestamp='1282051653' post='2419530'] Equal Rights Alliance does not tolerate such behavior and as such declares war upon CCCP [/quote] Well that is not very nice of you Andover. How come CCCP are not allowed these equal rights when that is apparently your whole raison d'etre [color="#C0C0C0"](+ fancy accents)[/color]. Be more tolerant. Ps. Babyjesus for Politburo Chairman!

[quote name='Sturm Soldat' timestamp='1282163839' post='2421951'] The bottom line is that wars that go nuclear are not only devastating to the parties in exchange, but also the rest of the cyberverse. [/quote] Yes, but apart from the actual nuclear impact (which no treaty could really prevent) the GRL effects every one the same. Very fair and proper. Of course, incomes drop for a while, but just think how happy your Exchequer will be when the wars are over and the GRL slowly descends into calmer seas -- suddenly you will have so much cash that you almost cannot understand how rich you are. It will be like Christmas when you was a child!

[quote name='CRex of Gulo Gulo' timestamp='1282166684' post='2422014'] OOC: The cap is clearly too low if one little side war can get it to max. [/quote] Make the GRL cap follow some general trend like the average NS of Bob or some thing. Or just revel in the green glow, cheering as the bombs scream down from the sky, obliterating that annoying neighbour you have been too shy to complain about. Yes, that. Nuke every one.

[quote name='Lennox' timestamp='1280258807' post='2391487'] Someone should dig up ivan and franz's posts and antics. I'm just too lazy. [/quote] Too lazy for ivan but here is [url="http://z15.invisionfree.com/Cyber_Nations/index.php?act=Search&CODE=getalluser&mid=30233"]fransjosef[/url]'s 13 threads of wonder. (OOC? This link may require access to old forum to work, I am not sure. Also I think some threads are missing, sadly. -- NB. more hilarity to be found in old FAN threads where fransjosef stopped by, but I have no idea which any more.) [url="http://z15.invisionfree.com/Cyber_Nations/index.php?showtopic=72640&view=findpost&p=7868349"]Words to live by:[/url] [quote name='fransjosef'] You pull a knife on me - I pull a gun You pull a gun - I pull a tupolev[/quote]

[quote name='admin' timestamp='1282145952' post='2421624'] Lennox approached me asking to play a practical joke. I went along with it however, sadly, his Death Star has been destroyed by the rebellion due to a stupid design flaw. [/quote] Could I possibly have a National Library, please? Its statistics are nil and in fact precludes me from buying any Wonder in the future, so it is not like it would give me any unfair advantages or effects. It is just that I would really like it. Thank-you

[quote name='Ragashingo' timestamp='1282145537' post='2421607'] He's got you there Louisa. [/quote] I am pretty sure I got myself with my previous post, but if he feels a need to get the glory, then sure he can have it. (OOC: Hello Ragashingo, I still miss your old avatar )

[quote name='Jrenster' timestamp='1282144547' post='2421596'] So you pointed out that pez changed her mind when Merrie vied for peace last night? [/quote] No I was busily singing "What a Difference 1:13 Hours Makes" like the rest of my cabinet. (Pffft. like I would have the slightest idea what is going on in politics, or any clue to what is or is not being discussed. Any thing else that you feel like asking me?)

[quote name='pezstar' timestamp='1282098425' post='2420936'] We are going to ZI you. [/quote] [quote name='pezstar' timestamp='1282106416' post='2421170'] We're not ZIing him. [/quote] I guess it does not matter any more, but this amused me.

Wish I knew of GOONS when I arrived in October 2006 so I could have joined 8 months sooner. (wotofit)

There is nothing at all wrong with the CB, if for no other reason than any CB is valid. There is not really any thing wrong with going to war over it. [quote name='PotFace' timestamp='1282014098' post='2418577'] Pardon my lack of knowledge on this, hence this question, but what exactly would you say are RIA's defining qualities? [/quote] [quote]*holds up spork*[/quote] Then again I know nothing of RIA (except that Delta is a charming and erudite gentleman).

Eagerly anticipating the formation of \n/ as I type. Have fun all of you I guess.

[quote name='the masheen' timestamp='1281989452' post='2418181'] Congrats and good luck I must ask though...what will happen to the [i]old[/i] orphans? [/quote] There is always room in the Recycling Tanks -- no Nutrients go unharvested where the New Orphans are involved. :somesortofflagwavingemoticonhere:

Hire me to write your next announcement, I will dazzle the viewing several with gibberish of unfathomed proportions. [size="1"](Then I can do a brisk business auctioning off keys to interpreting it.)[/size] Also congratulations on your 3.9M

[quote name='Caleb279' timestamp='1281828176' post='2416133'] ... this whiner ... is ... attention whoring. [/quote] I cannot actually find any signs that this is true (and I have seen plenty of whinery in my years around here) so I guess you have very strange definitions of those things? [quote name='Caleb279' timestamp='1281832024' post='2416177'] Is GPA ... the biggest alliance? [/quote] Used to be at one point (Or at least a very close second, I forget the exact situation.) [quote name='Jakome' timestamp='1281857859' post='2416509'] Are services [/quote] I love you Jakome, will you be mine :3

[quote name='PotFace' timestamp='1281796806' post='2415692'] Explain how it is that a DoW was necessary to remedy this situation. [/quote] It was necessary in order to halt the peacewise movement of the Sithian hordes, obviously. I thought that we already established this like days ago?

[quote name='Andrew the red' timestamp='1281841987' post='2416267'] Ill give anybody 60 tech for $4 million any offers? also money first then ill give you tech. [/quote] Just in case that you are not aware: the most you can send/receive in one Aid Slot is 50 and 3, so perhaps you should re-scale your offer? Wasting partial Aid Slots is generally not appreciated. Good luck

[quote name='porksaber' timestamp='1281701828' post='2414234'] the mere thought of this punishment makes me grin from ear to ear. [/quote] You will soon grin out of the other side of your face, sir! [quote name='Erwin Schrodinger' timestamp='1281722552' post='2414546'] Louisa, I saw you online, but you did not reply to me. After you get done punishing me, I might have to punish you back [/quote] As if I ever reply to you... You are both going in my Black Book(tm) and are in for unpleasant surprises within a very near future. Maybe even after breakfast. Pork, Erw---make peace with your deities of choice before it is too late :|

I expected more from Herr Schrödinger and Monsieur p0rkSab3r. . . . You Liberians have disappointed me for the last time and by Bastet I will see you punished for this

[quote name='Caleb279' timestamp='1281647424' post='2413222'] Black red and white, old school text, and something about orphans. Got it. [/quote] Make sure those orphans are destitute. I recommend some illustrated edition of [i]Oliver Twist[/i] for that authentic feel. Sorry MConorDever (Pretty nice picture)
