[quote name='Icewolf' timestamp='1327326739' post='2905469'] Currently those nations above the highest ranking war mode nation comprise 1.3 million NS. Polar is around 3.2. Those nations alone comprise 40% of Polar's strength. [/quote] So they should be proud of having less than half of their NS fighting?

From 0 to GOONS in 3 posts. Wow...

[quote name='Emperor Marx' timestamp='1327341870' post='2905578'] Excellent. Another stupid and useless analogy. [/quote] Admin bless him, he's trying.

[quote name='xR1 Fatal Instinct' timestamp='1327271575' post='2904984'] Besides that the only people who really maintained contact were Adel and (occasionally) blue. Other than that there was literally 0 contact between our alliances. They didn't care about us, and it showed when they went behind our backs. [/quote] That's a load of ****, I've been in your IRC channel since day one. I am forums challenged atm due to time constraints... However, when I was LoFA I remained in contact with you guys since the day you were formed.

I liked you GPF, and I really like KofN. I just hope this all ends well for you, truly I do.

[quote name='Gopherbashi' timestamp='1327075185' post='2903607'] Trivia time! Without checking the stats (because that would be cheating and would take the fun out of it), who do you think has more nations in peace mode? TOP's coalition or Polar's? Keep in mind that TOP's side has three times the number of nations that Polar's does. [/quote] I guess Polar's side.

[quote name='Alfred von Tirpitz' timestamp='1327077662' post='2903630'] Blackouts would be more effective if carried out by sites like fark, SA and the chan networks. [/quote] Or if someone is good enough at hacking to redirect all traffic from Google.com to an anti-SOPA/PIPA site.

[quote name='Auctor' timestamp='1326924335' post='2902361'] needs moar Bob [/quote] Agreeing with this. I suggest this government line-up: High Templar of Foreign Affairs: Bob High Templar of Defense: Bob High Templar of Financial Operations: Bob High Templar of Internal Affairs: Bob Triumvir: Bob, Bob, Bob

[quote name='enderland' timestamp='1326907150' post='2902203'] Well the main problem is this isn't really a political simulator anyways. Few alliances are doing actions for the sake of political motivations but more for fun or enjoyment or personal friendships. If treaties were primarily signed for strategic political moves there could be politics. But as it is, treaties and wars are hardly fought for reasons worth having political discourse over. Look at the current and immediately recent wars. What is there to even discuss? The only thing I can think of is how NPO has a real decision to face - have their lower ranks eaten up by FARK/FAN, who probably don't even care about the "game" anymore, or find a way to get peace. Maybe the implications of allowing grudges to dictate alliance behavior? [/quote] My post wasn't really an invitation to open discussion. But there's the fact that CN needs a hegemony, and the fact that most people don't pay enough attention/have enough time to really be a "villain" so political discourse in CN becomes an alliance in power saying: "Alliance X is terrible and no one should treaty them," and the hordes of alliances rushing to ride the coattails of anyone and everyone who can prove capable of leading the masses follow said alliance in power's every whim. Holy run-on sentence, batman.

We can have a 4 page discussion over why real political discourse can not and will not exist in a game like CN. But I think everyone already knows why. Edit: Wording

[quote name='Roquentin' timestamp='1326906545' post='2902195'] I don't advocate shutting down the OWF. I advocate a real political discourse. [/quote] That's about as likely to happen as me sprouting wings and giving people money for their lost teeth.

Do you have an IRC channel?

I have someone I need hit.

[quote name='ChairmanHal' timestamp='1326841203' post='2901761'] It's not humiliating if the split was indeed amicable. However, I do agree with you that the long running "experiment" of allowing threads to continue [i]ad nauseum[/i] may indeed discourage people from posting treaty changes and the like and make the problem worse. Bring back requesting (and granting) thread locks please. [/quote] Although threads that go: "X cancels on Y. I request a lock" are no fun either...

I don't remember the first one...

[quote name='goldielax25' timestamp='1326818639' post='2901546'] Personally I just feel that there isn't any need to throw dirt on the wounds of an alliance by posting it. If you want the split to be somewhat amicable, there's no reason to make people suffer through a thread of "no hard feelings but..." or "good job xx on getting rid of yy" or "they did you a favor yy". [/quote] I disagree. There is a great need to throw dirt on other alliances wounds.

I like public announcements, but it's each individual alliance's right to do it how they choose.

Great day for Ragnarok... only going to get better.

Congrats to our allies at NSO and our friends at Legacy! o/
