[Day 22: GO - Brain, CCC - ODN]

p all of them in red who have an upper tier

[Diorno - A return]

oh good.

[Who would win?]

It all comes down to activity and I don't know which one is more active, each one seems like a bit of a shell (to an outsider).

[Ad Hominem]

I loved how you called out Myth.

I think SCY is a big offender with this too (if it's not you SCY, apologies).

[The insanity within.]

i assumed this was another roq blog.

[Two Reasons NPO Is Being Too Nice]

I agree that the terms in BiPolar were too large. When we were creating a tech formula at the time, we didn't appreciate how much tech we were demanding. We waived 40k or something towards the end when we got friendly but for TOP it was too much tbh.

Do not speak ill of glorious SF.

[On TLR and tLR]

I think we should just call one of them Humpty and the other Dee.

[Turnover]

and led the ODN from pariah status to core member of C&G

Os has certainly done a bang up job as Sec-gen, however the efforts that led to ODN's progress from pariah began a long time before Os took the reins. Arguably it was the efforts of Arsenal, Joracy and others (incl. myself...not trying to sound arrogant or anything but I also put alot of work into laying that groundwork) that laid the groundwork for that. ODN's govt has always been a team effort no matter who was at the helm.Os's efforts to build on that base have nevertheless been impressive, and if the only reason he got 'pushed' out is his length of tenure then it is pretty sad way to repay him for his efforts.

Joracy had nothing to do with anything that had a positive effect on the ODN.

[I get stopped at 25...and yet they get 20000 :(]

I hear people just store their nukes in a rusty shed. They're also really easy to move about unnoticed due to their light weight, and simple to deploy because of their lack of a security system.

Those statistics in the OP are also frightfully incorrect.

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

Oh, I also have no reason not to believe Zog etc.

It looks odd, but it's probably because it isn't a very high quality picture.

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

http://errorlevelanalysis.com/permalink/ed74592/Interesting error levels around Thatcher's clothes that are not present around those of the two other individuals in the photo, but none around her head, and the error levels are similar to those present on the inside edges of Thatcher.Not sure that that means, so I'm going to say... leaning towards confirming the authenticity, but overall somewhat inconclusive.

Essentially that site is crap. It works by looking at the rate at which the image deteriorates with each save, and then assumes that areas that deteriorated the most have been shopped. Naturally, this doesn't work very well with poor quality images in the first place (like this one, it must have been scanned at some point as it was 1993 when it was taken).

That picture was also a PNG and the site claims to work with Jepgs. PNG provides a better quality image.

I would go into further details, but the best way to demonstrate it is by going into photoshop, altering pictures in certain places yourself and then testing it using that site. The results will be fairly inconclusive.

[Religion thing for a friend (wrote in 15 min)]

Why did you write this essay? Why did you post it? Where is this going? Nobody knows the exact truth to any of these.

[Admiration denied.]

I do not see a clarification is necessary but there is an old saying,"he can't see the forest for the trees";therefore in case I am stuck in that mode.I believe Doomhouse traded a superior victory for a lesser one.

The saying is "X can't see the wood for the trees."

God this is a train wreck.

[Exodus: Worst Alliance or Worstest Alliance?]

TIO, IAA and SOS Brigade are all just as bad.

[Admiration denied.]

That makes no sense. Make sure that the sentence still makes sense after inserting 'big words.' Otherwise it just makes you sound stupid (which I assume is the opposite of what you're trying to achieve).

[Dramatic OWF Readings - Episode 3 - "Hunchback Wars"]

I didn't notice how illogical that post was the first time when I read it. It's great.

[Dramatic OWF Readings - Episode 2 - "From the Body Republic of the New Pacific Order"]

Oh God, memoryproblems's one is classic. Mary's one is saved by its length.

[NPO/DH War Part Two]

Is this an attempt to squeeze as many clichés as possible into a piece of writing?

[Useless Phraseology]

It makes perfect sense because irl there are concerns with sovereignty when a nation enters into a treaty. When CN started, many of those norms were carried over (to the extent that there were NAPs and ToAs, which have almost no applicability within the realm of a game, but make sense irl). As time has gone on, we've realised that treaties do not infringe on sovereignty but because we copy and paste old treaties the clauses stick.

[Truth]

Jumping on the spying bandwagon I see.

[MOAR STATS]

Bloc stats would be useful for tracking the progress of various blocs for various reasons.

Which blocs and which reasons?

[MOAR STATS]

Well, I voted bloc stats, but I'm not so sure now. It all comes down to what you define as a bloc. There are a number of treaties that, while they are blocs in a technical sense, have no political impact on the game and so knowing their stats isn't hugely useful to anyone outside of that particular circle-jerk.

Replacing UE's on a semi-regular basis would be good I suppose.
