[quote name='Fyfe XIV' timestamp='1297208164' post='2626140'] Well, Athens has only gained score in the days we've fought Legion so I wouldn't be so sure. [/quote] I suspect the gain has more to do with the 53k ns nation that joined the Athens AA more than the war with Legion.

I wish the NADC the best in its wars.

So then why are you trying to make sure that they don't pose a challenge?

[quote name='Azaghul' timestamp='1296069832' post='2603057'] [u]Why we play?[/u] This is another thing that varies quite a bit, but I believe that for a [i]majority[/i] of players, competition, war, and intrigue are what make this game fun. Conflict, both in war and the political intrigue leading up to war, drives this game. Peaceful stagnation, where no one can act against anyone else for fear of being labeled "immoral" and everyone just grows their nations in perpetuity, is boring. Some players desire to play without having to worry about conflict. Neutral alliances like GPA should exist and be allowed to exist in peace to accommodate them. For me the saddest part about the GPA war was that it forced war on an alliance that existed to avoid war and stay out of the political and war game that the rest of us play with each other. If you join that game by joining a non-neutral alliance, then you should expect war. [/quote] I'm not entirely convinced of the premise that the majority of players stick around for conflict. Major wars have almost always cause a great number of nations to vanish. I believe during Karma about 4000+ nations were deleted. The fact that wars destroy nations faster than what you termed as periods of "peaceful stagnation" doesn't quite show that the majority of nations are interested in conflict. You claim that war drives the game and yet we lose more nations because of war than anything else.

That is incorrect. The argument made by a hypocrite can be correct despite any actions taken to the contrary. Hypocrisy is similar to lying in the sense that the intentions of a hypocrite are deceitful. However, this says nothing about what the hypocrite says. To take an example, a teacher may tell his students that cheating is bad and then he may go and cheat on a test himself. In this case, you can argue that he was deceitful in his intent to maintain academic integrity. However, what he said, that cheating is bad, is still correct. Hypocrisy does not make his argument wrong.

Thanks for writing up this blog. I can't agree more. I actually made the argument that hypocrisy does not imply that an argument is wrong a while ago though it was ignored. However, I think it will fall on deaf ears once more; the people that most commonly use hypocrisy to avoid real issues are simply using smear tactics to paint a certain alliance in a negative color. We would have more intellectually stimulating arguments if people could set aside petty differences but I doubt that will happen anytime soon.

What's up with all this anti TFD propaganda DK?
