Altheus

If you're talking about our own little personal little battle, it's because I'm saving my nukes for your alliance mates without the SDI's, but don't worry, I'll save some for you ;)

Just once, just this once, it'd be nice to fight R&R without a deluge of words thrown against us and not much else.

Congratulations on USN finally coming to their senses and realising your divine purrfection your majesty :P

Valhalla are pretty good at weaseling out of holes by signing treaties at the right time. Lets see who's fool enough to fall for it this time.

Fair statement. Well in that case I think both our alliances have room for improvement ;)

CN propaganda, there's nothing else quite like it I don't want to take anything away from anyone, but the mechanics of war on Planet Bob are a simpler affair than they're often perceived to be. Nukes hurt, war chests are a necessity, tech is really, really useful and activity trumps "skill" anyway. Also frankly most CN alliances could do with more activity.

I don't think alliances need some sort of "higher purpose" to do well. Just having a good time and being part of a community with friends is enough for many. Like Icewolf said, being organised and staying active account for more. Besides, I'm a bit leary of the idea of imported concepts just being plonked into CN and expected to work. i.e. communism or nationalism in CN, what do they mean exactly? The economic realities of CN are based on tech trades, resources and aid, not any form of right-wing or left-wing economics. Although beyond that there (thankfully) is a lot of real (as opposed to imported) differences between alliances anyway, with very CN-centric axis, such as neutrality/non-neutrality, tech-raiding/non-tech-raiding, elitism/non-elitism, authoritarian/laidback alliance management etc.

Fun thread :) 1) MK 2) GOONS 3)LUE 4) NAAC 5) \m/ 6) Athens 7) Ragnarok 8) FOK 9) Norden Verein 10) PC Although, I do think it's a bit of travesty that GGA aren't on this list. Their impact in the early days of CN would make them a comfortable top 5, despite their ignominious end.

I reject that that's a new concept. Dogpiles based on "get them before they get you" are as old as cybernations. Citadel was an early attempt at pretty much the same thing,although Citadel was too big to keep it going indefinately. DBDC being so small (in terms of membership, not nation size) could play in their favour, provided they avoid the usual pitfalls of CN organisations. i.e. internal strife.

1. MK 2. GGA 3. GOONS version 1

Lol, we really haven't. That's great! Then we're all having fun ^_^

In the spirit of honesty, until you'd mentioned them now I hadn't given DBDC one moment's thought.

Thanks Grendel, you too :) Also, here it is!

You're right of course, but I think many prefer to just ignore the obvious shortcomings of the Zulu alliances humour and hope it goes away. Personally it comes across as patronising, ill-judged and offensive,

Like I said, it's easy to see why it'd be logical for GPA & WTF to defend TDO, but I think we agree they probably won't because the philosophy they're sticking to (rightly or wrongly) deters them from responding.

Neutrality isn't a side though, it's a philosophy. GPA & WTF don't owe TDO anything. Granted it might be logical for neutrals to gang up on anyone that attacks them, but then they'd have effectively evolved into a bloc.

Jerdge is right. Trying to make out this war has some anti-neutral moral imperative is ridiculous. That said, war is part of this world and comes to everyone in the end, rightly or not. As it's going to happen anyway my advice to TDO would be to take the good out the situation as best you can. Namely, it's good for activity, a good test for your military and a good way to find out who's committed to your cause. Just don't disband, they can't force you.

I've come to the concusion that the definition of a lulzy alliance is one that's really into quote pyramids.

Maybe it's a pissing match :P Also, hi Swampy. Long time no see.

Fantastic to finally be together. I have deeply admired the STA for years. :wub:

Pleasure as always. Welcome back to the land of the living :wub:

Madness. Aurora Borealis seem to like it and it's hardly offensive, so I'm not quite sure why you'd want to take their name away from them.

Clarity is helpful at times like this :)

Good overdue cancellation

Don't spend too long dreaming up your witty retorts...
