    Oh hi

    Long time no see. Annual check in post to see who is still around that I may actually give a toot about.
  2. I have a chicken nugget and a bag of doritos, what will that get me?
  3. Fish should always be cooked 6 days in advance, then reheated in a microwave.
  4. Just doing my somewhat annual check in. I hope you are all doing well in this pandemic infested world. You dont really have to ask me anything, but if you do, I will certainly answer. Mostly I just wanted to say hello to any of my old friends who are still around.
  5. Nothing but self-righteous sycophants continuing to to try to rule a wasteland of a planet. I do miss some of you though. Only some.
  6. Words like honorable and evil are thrown around far too easily on Bob. Perhaps TOP was both, most likely, they were neither. It is ok to be neither. Honor is a hypocritical notion that is totally linked to the stomping side or the stomped side. The bottom line is, TOP has had some wonderfully fine people over the years who I greatly enjoyed working with. At the same time, TOP has had some of the most infuriating , overly cautious people to work with over the years. Ultimately, I liked what I liked about them,. more than I disliked what I disliked about them. so they were an asset to Planet Bob. Fare the well old friendversaries.
  7. Seriously my old friends... I love you guys. Godspeed.
  8. There are very precious few events that change the course of history on any planet in the Universe. This was one such instance of changing the course of history on Planet Bob. I am proud of my time, accomplishments, and friendships that came out of this endeavor. Alliances and blocs have and may continue to come and go, but at a base level, there was never, ever, a closer group than this and there will never be again.
  9. I am so glad I am too far withdrawn from the Politics of Bob, or else this would literally make me ill.
  10. I would have once cared about this... but if some of my old friends still, then congrats to them.
  11. And finally the punchling to a very sad joke is delivered.... maybe?
  12. the worst part is watching people I have respected for a long time allow themselves to be dragged into Minc idiocy and SNX idiocy. This is what happens when nobody tries anymore.
  13. I realize, little one, that your ego is starving and you need to feed it at all costs....and I really hate to do it to you shnookums, but I just have to break it to you cleanly and straightforwardly the only way I can.... I was not talking about you. Now, quickly, someone get this heartbroken little man a tissue.
  14. No, no, just ask the current active people, the old days of the game were a joke, and the new crop is doing a far better job. Literally, one of them said this to me.
  15. It begs the question... would you rather be a has-been, or a never was. That is what this conversation is.
  16. I will go slow so you may have a chance to understand. First, I neither want, nor seek any change of any kind. The only way I would want or seek any change is if I felt the urge to get involved. I do not. I will, however, publish my commentary on events and contrast them to the realities of days gone by because THAT is what entertains me. There is nothing at all, in the real of the political world, or in the mechanics of CN that can or will ever entice me back into caring enough to try to make things happen. So put and end to the incorrect assertion on your part that I need to bring about change that "I want." Now I realize because you post 60 or 70 times a day on a make believe political forum that MAYBE in total gets 200 posts a day, you feel like you are an important, maybe even integral part of what happens in CN. However, just so we are clear, let me make sure that you understand .... You are nothing. You have never been anything, and you will never be anything. You are small fish in an ever shrinking fish bowl. The scourge of 900 NS nations everywhere. If you have fun with what you are doing... hoorah for you. Much like you give your commentary on what is left of big boy politics (of which you know nothing), I will give my opinion on todays game (of which I know a plethora.) I neither seek, require, nor care about your approval. You are like the Senior Peon of Orgrimmar. Yes, you are the top of your line, but a peon nonetheless.
  17. Are you intentionally obtuse or just intellectually challenged? I wonder which it is. Two things... first, the thread you linked had zero to do with STA, which you specifically mentioned in your previous post. Second, my only error in that post, which I have subsequently corrected on MANY occasions was overestimating the number of people left in the game who cared. In days past, that move, would indeed have been a moronic move by Oculus. Also, your assertion that I somehow "complained against STA (You meant TPF, you're welcome) burning" is patently absurd. Anyone who knows one freaking iota of my history knows that , much like Mi6, rolling TPF is never EVER a bad option. I was commenting on the political capital that the move WOULD have cost, while, as I admitted, being in error of the value of political capital in this world where nobody cares. Do not try to fence with me little one, you are woefully outgunned.
  18. I think you may have me confused with someone else.
  19. Oculus leadership is, quite frankly, too busy congratulating themselves on their political victories, that they failed to realize they were not playing against anyone. Does Oculus inherently kill potential politics in (what is left of) the game? Absolutely. For Frawley, or anyone else, it is ridiculous to deny. That being said, it was always destined to be the natural progression of things. As the active pool of players declines, as they have all been interacting for years upon years, they all, OOC, LIKE each other. We can talk until we are blue in the face about IC vs OOC, but 99.999999% of ALL decisions made in game have been made by OOC personaes with no effort at all to play in an IC personae, because RP is such a niche thing. When it turns out that there are 100-200 active people and they have all known each other for years, they are going to congregate to each other, because their friendships have at least crossed a blurred IC-OOC line. It is why grudges no longer exist. It is why NPO and NpO are together now. The cause is simply that this game and its mechanics did not evolve as fast as interpersonal relationships evolved. The effect is that we have what we have now. The folly of it all does not fall on Frawley, or any other leadership of any alliance in Oculus. The only folly that these people are guilty of (if they actually think it)... is the belief that they have accomplished something. There is nothing at all left to accomplish in the gigantic circle-jerk that IS CN. The logs speak very clearly to that... nobody dislikes anybody else, and more and more people have alliance hopped to the point that everyone is friends with everyone in every alliance. TL;DR : Oculus stagnates the game. Yes. It is NOT their fault. Their only fault is the tiresome self-congratulation that they give one another for what amounts to beating yourself in a game of checkers. (Chess would be too complex for the simplicity of the current CN world.)
  20. . You have part of that fundamentally wrong. Mi6 wanted to be KINGS because too many alliances settle for being KINGMAKERS. And the powers that be have ALWAYS controlled the majority of strength on Bob. The CURRENT powers that be, I will grant you, have exceeded any level of power control of anyone else, and HAVE successfully ruined any aspect of a political game, but part of me expects that they are perfectly okay with it. My issue was more that you specifically said currying favor with the powers that be is what elevates your blood pressure (indicating that it is something you think should not be done)... yet you joined Mi6 at the height of doing just that.
  21. I swear I remember you and I having almost this exact conversation the day you left TLR for Mi6. You cannot be too displeased by currying favor with the powers that be, that is how Mi6 blew into this world, and is the state of Mi6 the day you joined.
  22. So basically nobody is ever going to try again. Oddly enough, that is fine by me.
