I'm glad to see this was discovered on 3/11. My favorite 311 song is Come Original, followed closely by Beautiful Disaster...then maybe Down and All Mixed Up. I didn't like their cover of The Cure's "Lovesong." The first two songs are in my Amazon Music playlist called Songs I Like, which is a playlist of around 430 songs and it's what I listen to when I'm just driving around or mowing grass or whatever. Speaking of Post Grunge, my 73-year-old father and I were talking about music. He mentioned he really liked Nickelback, then transitioned into getting tickets to a .38 Special concert. He was really looking forward to the show, but was disappointed because, "everyone around us stood up and was yelling and singing, and I just wanted to watch the show." He said he'll never go to another concert like that. I suggested that he should write sternly-worded letters to the venue and .38 Special, and then just stick to post grunge. He also said he liked "that song that goes, 'I'm still just a rat in a cage.'" I might buy him that double album set for his birthday.

Or nations lurking in peace mode, but that's fine if you want to totally not read what you're being told. That's fine. You're paying for it, not me.

Few years.....well, OK. I've been back for a year, but sure, let's talk a bunch more about my time in CN instead of how you're paying the price for your upper tiers because they're totally busy. Like no one else is busy.

Those are all very convenient excuses for your top nations to stay in PM......it's totally not worth coming out of peace mode to crush the opposition because it's.......too easy. Can I get in on this bet?

You seem to have a problem remembering my mentions of upper tiers. I don't know how. I've said it like 15 times by now. Upset, maybe.

Recall harder.

1. And they're still in PM for some crazy, crazy reason. 2. I don't care if your allies hit us. 3. I'm super upset. 4. I don't think CCC manipulated anyone. I think your upper tiers are afraid. While you're wondering about people being upset, maybe you should start asking your own folks to lend a hand.

Or it could be that you're allowing CCC's top tiers to stay out of the war because they've been super, super busy for like, weeks. I mean, WEEKS. At some point, these excuses shouldn't be believed and someone could....I don't know, apply pressure and say, "Ay, maybe you ought to start getting your hands dirty."

Who this "you all" you're referring to? I don't hold a leadership position and set no policy. How long are you prepared to let CCC's upper tier feel better about their pixels while everyone else pays the price?

I'm not sure what narrative you're paying attention to, but I wrote what I wrote. I mean, if you want to call that everyone else's narrative, that's fine -- it's wrong, but it's fine. But you've had to pay quite a bit for your upper tiers, too, so it doesn't surprise me you'd run to their defense. If everyone else has to pay so they can feel better, that's cool.

I'm not really all that angry, I don't think -- it's kinda more how you just declared war so others can stay comfortable. If that's a thing you're into, that's fine, I suppose. Help them work on their work/life balance or something.

Whining about what, dude? Pointing out your alliance just declared war so CCC's top tiers can stay comfortable isn't really whining. If you guys wanna be suckers to maintain friendships, that's gonna have to be on you. You're the one paying for it. That's not whining. That's reality. Have fun paying for someone else's pixels.

Well, about a year old, really, since I let my nation go inactive for like 6 years, but that's fine if you want to keep talking about all that. Anything else you needed to know? I mean, I've fought every time I've been asked. And then there's CCC, complaining about work/life balance or something. I mean, they don't seem to have had a problem logging in over the past few weeks, so they can't be too busy. But then, I haven't ducked out to PM, either, and I'm not going to do it as long as there are lower tiers fighting.

Oh, I don't know...fight? Not expect your lower tiers to do your work for you? Do something other than "plan"? There's three right there. Feel free to ask for more if you want.

Oh, awesome! A bunch of alliances declare so CCC's top tier can stay in peace mode and profit from the war to the detriment of the people doing the actual fighting. Can't wait! Casualties!
