[Going to Melt?]

Near Beachwood, very jewish neighborhood. Menorah's all over the mall etc.

Anyway, sandwhiches were !@#$@#$ amazing.

Place had about 30 microbrews you could get too, I got what the guy recommended and it turned out to taste similar to elf piss. 11% alcohol content. Christ.

So for my second drink I had a guinnes Draught.

Got the Sandwhich " The Dude Abides," which had a !@#$ ton of cheese, fried mozarella sticks and meatballs inbetween four sliced pieces of garlic bread. Amazing

Fries + chipoltle ketchup = god

you monster

[A Note on the War and the current state of World Affairs.]

I don't get it, you have literally over half of the game mobilized on four alliances and you still have the cojones to pretend that statistics that don't matter in a text based game?

It's a bit under a quarter, actually.

I should have clarified, Half of the non-neutral game.

Either way, point stands....

[Why is it that...]

Because they're on you're side.

[War]

Everyone sees everyone for exactly who they are.

[Politically Correct Santa]

This is great.

Someone's been a good Coyote this year!

[Post-War ---- eh?]

If you're tired of alliances not doing things, join one that does.

This is is a flawed philosophy. Simply joining an alliance that is perceived to "do things," does not contribute. Take an alliance that "doesn't," and make them.

[Isn't my profile cool?]

i have a cool starry background n i think it looks gr8

[Isn't my profile cool?]

I will not.

[Isn't my profile cool?]

Congratulations. You managed to get people to actually click on your profile page.

Thank you for your congratulations.

[Happy Harmlin Day]

Remember, Remember, the fifth of November.

Truely, a different era.

[So apparently I was a top poster today]

Oh ffs i did it again.

[So apparently I was a top poster today]

Now if it had some decent content and not just brain farts....

stop reading my farts?

You were one of the most prolific posters, it's tough avoiding you.

I think there's an ignore function on the boards. I'm too lazy to look it up for you though.

:effort:

[Old poetry and lamb roast]

I'm a Robert Frost fan and write my own poetry from time to time.

You and I should get together and write some sometime this winter. We can roast Elfriede from the giant ice block she'll be trapped in while we do it too.

[CBs in CN.]

lol. what?

[The Saga Begins]

Holy god this is a bad ratio of lulz to effort.

EVEN FOR YOU RON.

[Sup Polar?]

To be fair, it doesn't look like they need help so far.

[So, Invicta?]

I dont know seems Legion is winning and the lastest help is not much help at all. Why call in anyone?

I'm with this guy, 6 war blitz?

[A story of Italian magic]

[Please Invicta, don't betray Legion]

RoK's treaty is a non-chaining MDP, from what I read.

Not that it matters.

[Boring food and jet lag makes for an unhappy Coyote]

YES. Food. Stop making me hungry you damn canine.

[What Makes CN Tick Pt 1]

I think we also tend to overestimate how many actually care about the politics in this game.

In most alliances it's usually a select few who know what's going on and relay that in a subscription form to the rest of the alliance.

[What Makes CN Tick Pt 1]

I'll agree with most of this sentiment, but I wouldn't go to the point of calling these people trolls.

While indeed they might exhibit some of this quality, you can exhibit much of what a troll is considered with at least some degree of tact and/or meaning.

I like the dynamic the mergers have played, but I think we're running out of gadget tricks. Ideally we'd be playing with a self-replenishing set of cards to use. Regardless of the reperations, every war worth its salt is going to drive the non-hardcore players from their alliance and/or the game completely. While it's possible to get the "New Gramlin," dynamic of forming an alliance, we are limited to mass invasion alliances that dissapate quickly as being the primary source of new blood. Refining the members we have as well as encouraging a dynamic where forgiveness is often given quicker than one would expect due to more pressing security concerns is a step in the right direction.

That said, everyone should just chill and have fun at the end of the day. I like rivalry factors and I don't think we've seen the last of a few, even from parties who are currently treatied.

The current atmosphere is a vast array of treaties of convinience and we may be entering a phase in the game's death knell where it may very well become the norm.
