[On and on, reckless abandon]

I don't think God would approve of that language.

[From: This Week: Five Years of Schattenmann]

What's with your obsession with Bela Lugosi?

[why I quit posting in the boiler room...]

Haha you post in the boiler room.

[TOP-NpO War Stats]

Could you add percentage of nations in peace mode for future updates?

[Please Invicta, don't betray Legion]

Invcita is the perfect alliance for RoK to fight, knowing both alliance's military (or lack thereof) prowess.

[Testimonials]

Could you write an essay on why anime should be banned?

[I've Never Done a 'Callout' Before. Am I Doing It Right?]

Politicians get their picture taken with a lot of people, King Zog having the opportunity to have his picture with Thatcher seems entirely plausible.

[MK Hegemony: Why it must fall]

You're forgetting GOD, Ragnarok, and NV.

Don't forget Genesis too!

This looks like it was written directly from Moralist Handbook 101. The whole idea that all wars should be done without reparations is pretty dumb, to say the least. If we all fought wars without any sort of consequence, there would be no political change in war, nor motivation to get revenge. Revenge is a great thing to motivate an alliance, I think.

As for declining membership, no sort of "political change" is going to increase membership. This game has lasted for 5 years, which is very impressive. People move on after they're tired with a game. It's life. If that wasn't the case, we'd all still be playing the original Heroes of Might & Magic with no desire to move on to a new game that's added any sort of depth.

[Humans vs. Zombies]

All Humans Vs. Zombies has been is a really bad distraction for classes at my university because the game moderators are terrible at their jobs. Several times I've heard people running by screaming "THERE HE IS SHOOT HIM" during my classes, and our school forum pretty much gets complaints everyday about how much of a distraction it's been. Either they're players of the game, or they absolutely despise the game.

[Dear Haflinger:]

I didn't realize you were so old, I hope you don't depart from us soon

[Brief Update on Rebel Virginia]

You should start a ponzi scheme and turn those millions into BILLIONS.

[The ???? and fall of Anathema]

There are, actually, 2 people on the AA.

Hey now, it was at 4 when I wrote this!

[Phoenix Rising: Mad As Hell]

Pizza rolls are good, but let's not get too carried away here.

Also, as a person fighting PhR, I have to say they're probably one of the worst alliances I've ever fought. It's as if GGA never disbanded.

[Outsourced: An Unlikely Voice of Reason]

Most athletes in America, when speaking on gay marriage, speak out against it, or speak out against being gay in general (think Tim Hardaway or Carl Everett). Ever wonder why there's only one openly gay athlete in the world? There's something about professional sports that makes players hush-hush about this sort of thing, so good for him to speak for it.

[Non-Chaining treaties* need to end]

Cancel your treaties, stand by your friends.

Simple really.

Is that you, Ramirus!?

[Disbandment, moralism and some leader]

Really? No alliance deserves to disband.

When your existence is more of a drain on it's members and leaders and you're doing a disservice by staying together fighting the inevitable.

Your statement is like staying "No marriage deserves divorce" yet it happens, and usually happens for a good reason.

[Shanks a lot.]

If you do know those CN players who know your rl name, you may want to try to reach out to them personally, especially if you have a phone number or something. If you can get across the anonymity veil of the internet, you can easily talk sense into a person. It's a long shot, but worth it if you have a lead of some sort.

Regardless, sorry this happened to you.

[A Note on PB Military Tactics]

Sunny Side King had been in our AA for about a week or two, at most. He wanted to fight NPO, and aid GOONS in the fight as well, so he ghosted our AA. It'd be sort of dumb to not accept his help, and at the same time, I didn't expect him to stay around. I've never talked to the guy, nor did he submit an application.

When you're at war, there's more pressing things at hand than worrying about people ghosting your AA.

[The Molon Labe Situation]

I hate when I go to post something, and I see that Schattenmann has already said what I was going to say.

This is the part that irks me the most. MK is really insulting our intelligence with this little maneuver. With the undeclared wars, they're hoping they can avoid activating the treaties of the people they attack, and with the "recognitions of hostilities," they seem to think the rest of the world will see their wars as defensive.

I dearly hope that nobody in CN is stupid enough to see this situation in the way that MK would like us to.

This couldn't be further from the truth.

The fact is, Umbrella and MK see no point in posting DoWs when we declare on only a couple of wars. If you think we think people are so stupid as to believe we're trying to spin this around, we're not. Alliance leaders are generally smart enough to figure out what we're doing, or they can seek clarification on IRC.
