i think im like...750 days old or something ridiculous like that...missed GWII by a hair but caught all of GWIII. Those were the best times. When there were figureheads making decisions, bold statements, you'd get all fired up about something. the web was tangled but there were always big question marks and dramatic entrances.
now..."oh, we're going to war? with who? ONE alliance against our entire bloc? 2 million strength, and their allies are cancelling their treaties? we're not even needed but we're still going to help out of boredom? great, i guess i can just sit this one out and watch the destruction."
...lame. i felt dirty for what i did in the last war, and that was more justified than any other DoW i saw.
the interesting ones have been blown apart.
a dozen huge alliances with many personalities devolved into many smaller alliances with only a couple personalities over the course of time. a direct result of people growing to dislike each other as the game went on. how else can you explain why there isnt just one big orange alliance? my own alliance is a direct result of that.
if there was a huge war like before now, who can honestly say what the sides would be? citadel vs continuum? is the Continuum even a unified bloc, in practice? ive heard its held together by fear and all it needs is little spark to open it up.
lets talk one vision vs the citadel. oooh yeah.
EDIT: I joined three days after Soccer? lol.
