  1. Longevity of a player has little to do with a Legend or its definition. You could import criteria such as longevity or x y z contributions in a [i]Hall of Fame[/i] style of thread. But a Legend is what people remember. Simple as that. 1 a : a story coming down from the past; especially : one popularly regarded as historical although not verifiable b : a body of such stories (a place in the legend of the frontier) c : a popular myth of recent origin d : [b]a person or thing that inspires legends[/b] The arguments in this thread are entirely grounded on ambiguous nature of the thread's title. "[i]LEGENDS[/i]" The fact is almost all parties are right on who should be what in one way or another if you change the title to [i]CYBERNATIONS HALL OF FAME [/i] or INFAMOUS PLAYERS of CN. A Legend is simply someone that has done something that someone else remembers, true or not. "A person or thing that inspires legends" That is were it is subjective and the list would in fact be long rather than short.
  2. Grub I'm curious... After Polar is destroyed, what alliance will you join? After joining said alliance, will you try and reform Polar a year or two later? If yes, Will you ask GOONS to be a protectorate? Curious minds want to know
  3. [quote name='Ardus' timestamp='1322536146' post='2855344'] 404 was notable in his time, but he just doesn't jump to the front of the line when I'm trying to come up with five players who've had a lasting impact. And it's not just personal distaste for the dude (I've traditionally not gotten along with four of the five people I pitched), I just don't think he rises to the same level of personally driven impact the other five players I listed have. [/quote] You got a lil' focused into 404. He's an example of subjective view points.
  4. [quote name='OrangeBeard' timestamp='1322518378' post='2855101'] I absolutely get what you're saying, but if we did a vote of the most legendary players in CN, complete with bios who credit players such as 404 to Sponge, it may not be perfect, but it could work. [/quote] I'd be fascinated to see to read the bios [quote name='Ardus' timestamp='1322522783' post='2855133'] Sponge endured as a central figure in the course of CN history from the Great War Era right on through NoCB/WotC, making decisions, for better or worse, that reverberate to today. 404 was, by comparison, a flash in the pan who had the good sense to hook up with the Orders, lost the first major war GOONS got into without Pacifica's backing, and then quit. If you're going to produce a list of "legends" it'd have to be extraordinarily short, restricted to those who played and personally impacted global politics across multiple eras of history. Ivan Moldavi, Sponge, Archon, Bilrow, and Grub are the first five names that come to mind. That'd probably be my first ballot. [/quote] I'm glad you see history so clearly.
  5. [quote name='OrangeBeard' timestamp='1322506028' post='2854979'] I for one like it. We might as well try. The date should be later though... maybe start it after this war is over? [/quote] The topic is too subjective. What is Electron sponge with out 404? It depends on your view point for who is what. This would turn into a popularity contest in current format. For a hall of fame like this to work, it would have to have era time frames in which ALL notable members of that time were inducted. It's politics. With out one there can not be the other. I think some other members nailed it on the head so far when they broke up their selections by time and alliance.
  6. [quote name='andyt2k' timestamp='1322410512' post='2853772'] Ivan Dilber New Reverie Sponge Egore Archon Same as most people have mentioned but the reason everyone lists them is because it's true [/quote] I think the line between legend and infamous is very blurry here. Take it a step further maybe another description can be used, Famous, historical, influential, hall of fame, etc.
  7. 404 Daemon (oc what's up with the filters? /oc)
  8. SW is SA now. HE has a :reg2010: to prove it.
  9. Allow for some red ink [quote name='JWConner' timestamp='1299139636' post='2650974'] [color="#FF0000"][s]Well, conSidering there wasn't a valid reason for GOONs to attack nPo in the first place,[/s][/color] it SeemS a bit hypocritical to puniSh Someone for actually following their treaty, [color="#FF0000"][s]be it an optional aggreSSive[/s][/color] or mutual defenSive clauSe. Either way, it'S a treaty nonetheless. Then again, I[color="#FF0000"][s]'m teaching cOmmOn sense to a GOONs memberS[/s][/color][color="#FF0000"](common sense from a dude who uses acronyms wrong? )[/color], so I'm basically pounding my face against the wall because some goon is laughing at my frustration and tearS.

  10. [quote name='Kilkenny' timestamp='1297616680' post='2631212'] So being on the EoG list means anyone can attack them without fear from their current alliance??? Seriously?? [/quote] ooc Your post needs more question marks. /ooc Yeah , really. If your alliance accepts a nation who is on our EoG list then you in turn accept the consequences. Everything Hidraca said too. Also, our current method is a far cry from what it used to be and what I think it should be, which was; Accepting a EoG into your alliance with out approval from GOONS is an act of war on GOONS.
  11. [quote name='silentkiller' timestamp='1297014438' post='2622282'] So it was oA and =LOST='s treaty did not demand that they absolutely have to enter. Again =LOST= has full right to enter this war, they just can't say they were forced to do so by a treaty. Funnily enough he did. Well he said it about NPO anyway. [/quote] Yeah, Sardonic told me we were not getting involved either. I guess the only way to know what [b]REALLY[/b] is in our leaders head is our leaders.
  12. [quote name='silentkiller' timestamp='1297013914' post='2622267'] I take it Cortath told you NPO was getting involved in the war? [/quote] I take it Cortath told you npo was not getting involved in the war? There was a CB, you might not agree with it but it is there. The fact you don't agree with it, was even addressed in the DoW. The fact won't be argued-- so you will continue to see it your way. This is okay and acceptable by us. The outcome will not change.
  13. [quote name='D34th' timestamp='1297013515' post='2622260'] Yeah very different situation... NEW attacks DF without any [b]RATIONAL[/b] reason. DF's allies attack NEW in defense. PC and iFOK claims it is an agressive move and don't activate their [b]oA[/b] treaty clause with NEW You: [b]Now: [/b] DH attacks NPO with [b]RATIONAL[/b] reason. NPO's allies attack GOONS in defense of NPO =LOST= active oA treaty clause with GOONS and attacks Legion You: And you guys still be mad when I call you hypocrites, I really can't understand. [/quote] fixed your logic.
  14. [quote name='Lamuella' timestamp='1297012925' post='2622250'] and we feel our war was just. Thank you for your support. [/quote] I guess Umbrella and MK have to destroy all of npo allies before moving on to npo.
  15. It really is a beautiful thing.
  16. [quote name='D34th' timestamp='1296118175' post='2605192'] Yeah, I'm very very angry [/quote] Good, as long as you are honest with yourself
  17. [quote name='D34th' timestamp='1296117721' post='2605185'] Translation: Don't surrender GOONS, act like the lapdogs/meatshields that you are and we will send you some money if we win. [/quote] Translation: I'm angry and jealous that GOONS are not our lapdogs/meat-sheilds.
  18. There is an extraordinary amount of built up intimate frustration between PC and \m/. I see it all the time with old married couples. \M/ and PC need to @$%^ and make up. And by (*&^ I REALLY mean @#$%; as is get after it-- no holds barred @$%@-fest. You'd be surprised how easy it will be to talk with each other afterward.
  19. [quote name='Nobody Expects' timestamp='1295664351' post='2590453'] A true GOON from back in the day, your avatar was more awesome back then, so was your AA. [/quote] Are you hitting on me?
  20. [quote name='Nobody Expects' timestamp='1295663761' post='2590406'] mIRC logs, change PC time and date, edit, and save, even I can do that, at least photoshopping takes skill xD [/quote] Goes both ways for all intel, huh?
  21. **whistles** Doesn't change anything does it? I still see radiation levels going... (church singing voice) HIGHER AND HIGH--ER!!
  22. o/ athens and hooligans It is true that wickedj gave me an excessive and thorough body search while going through the Airport security to visit my new Europa friends. It was kinda hot
