[quote name='Sandwich Controversy' date='15 April 2010 - 10:11 AM' timestamp='1271347870' post='2261404'] No. Nobody has noticed this. [/quote] Hey, I couldn't be bothered reading a sixty-page thread and all the various retarded answers which have been given to find out. [quote name='hilowe' date='15 April 2010 - 01:27 PM' timestamp='1271359616' post='2261582'] Yes, and it's because Gre pretty well owns the top spot, outnumbering IRON and DAWN there. Get outside of that area of NS, and IRON and DAWN greatly outnumber Gre. [/quote] Essentially, then, you're going to lose.

Has anyone else noticed that nobody in Gramlins’ top 35 is even engaged?

[quote name='Doitzel' date='07 April 2010 - 01:30 AM' timestamp='1270625401' post='2251439'] Lord, what fools these mortals be! [/quote] Stand aside: the noise they make would cause the very stones to wake... (reference to some of the comments in this thread) [OOC] You really do have a penchant for Shakespeare lately, don't you? [/OOC]

That makes the second time I've agreed with you in this thread, Letum. I feel dirty.

ODN are better off without you.

[quote name='Alterego' date='06 April 2010 - 11:14 AM' timestamp='1270574063' post='2250463'] Airme, Archon, stumpy and the rest of you have zero credibility and are unmasked as hypocrites and tyrants. Laugh it up lads, when the tables are turned you will receive no mercy. It might take 3 years but your time will come and your crimes and outrages will all come back to haunt you just like they did with NPO. [/quote] Several years too late. Archon and friends know all about what it’s like to lose wars. I’m no fan of LUE by any means, but you can’t ignore history. That’s not even to mention the No-CB war. [quote name='Shamshir' date='06 April 2010 - 04:17 PM' timestamp='1270592211' post='2250778'] be nice we don't call your alliance The Shiite Oblivion do we? [/quote] Well actually..... ... enter King Penchuk!

Excuse me, I sound like a what? I’ve been a Sith since October last year, under my former identity, The Lonely Man. Unless you’re trying to suggest that somehow Polar pre-emptively planted me before the Frostbite split....

[quote name='Chalaskan' date='06 April 2010 - 03:28 AM' timestamp='1270546105' post='2250236'] Did you know they'd cuddle up with MK before they would cuddle up with you? Heh...like I said, trust is a wonderful thing. Unlike the obvious farce in values, your OOC remark brings, some people cling to values and act on them regardless of adverse odds. (NpO/Grub made it seem like those values were bringing us together, and furthermore asked our help.) I was fooled into believing those values over ruled any history. So, no, I didn't know it...to the point I ran to NpO and fought along side them. Your welcome to try again though. [/quote] Personally, I love Polar and I will always love Polar. I retain many friends in Polaris and I continue to admire their tremendous community. I admit I’m less than impressed with the way they treated us in this war, but essentially the Sith had been gravitating towards the ex-Hegemony bloc for some time, which wasn’t in line with Polar’s foreign affairs strategy. This was bound to create tensions. Besides, Polar have Electron Sponge. That’s more than enough reason to support them.

[quote name='Chalaskan' date='06 April 2010 - 03:15 AM' timestamp='1270545339' post='2250232'] I think all of CN knows...it isn't warring abilities so much as changing directions to save your hide. Kinda like going from a disbanded NAAC (when you were acting MOD for such alliance) to NpO who disbanded them the day it happened. Trust is a wonderful thing amigo...one item you will never have from me again. I don't care if you value it or not..jus saying. [/quote] [OOC] The Vatican will move to Mecca before Polaris ever cuddles up with TOP. [/OOC] That’s been the case for a very long time and I think you know it. With that in mind, can you seriously expect Grub to side with you in a war where you're destroying his allies?

[quote name='CloudGT4' date='04 April 2010 - 10:11 PM' timestamp='1270440696' post='2248487'] wow C&G turned into the new tC.. great job of proving you guys were better, and changing tech extortion in CN.. O/Torn O/IRON O/TOP for a good fight. Much <3 for ya. [/quote] I’m delighted that you’ve finally recognised the disgusting, bullying nature of the bloc you were part of for so many years. [quote name='Doitzel' date='04 April 2010 - 10:43 PM' timestamp='1270442574' post='2248584'] Considering Pacific's history with friendships, perhaps that is what has him worried. [/quote] LOL

Siberian Tiger Alliance, miniature version? Splendid. The world needs more of them. Best of luck, The Imperial Order.

[quote name='Jrenster' date='31 March 2010 - 11:39 PM' timestamp='1270100336' post='2243315'] Bah, you caught me. [/quote] Will the real Rebel Virginia please stand up!

[quote name='Sup4l33t3ki11a' date='30 March 2010 - 05:10 PM' timestamp='1269933008' post='2240974'] Mr Damsky's iron fist pulled the strings in MCXA's MoFA for a while, he RULED something, but as to any future ruling.. je suis d'accord avec toi [/quote] Oh, sorry. I should’ve said ‘anything remotely important.’

[quote name='Umar ibn Abd al-Aziz' date='30 March 2010 - 04:23 PM' timestamp='1269930192' post='2240947'] I must admit that I've never really liked the ODN very much. This post helped remind me why, ta. [/quote] Like the vast majority of people on these forums, he probably doesn’t care in the least about your opinion. [quote name='Mr Damsky' date='30 March 2010 - 04:23 PM' timestamp='1269930204' post='2240950'] Of course they do. Do you honestly think that you're going to be the ruling power forever? [/quote] C&G got where they are because they have some of the best leaders in the world. They won’t rule forever, but their reign will probably be a long one. You, on the other hand, will never rule anything.

[quote name='supercoolyellow' date='30 March 2010 - 03:34 AM' timestamp='1269884045' post='2240101'] Hmmm, I smell a coming policy corner post [/quote] Please no.

[quote name='Vladimir' date='24 March 2010 - 03:37 AM' timestamp='1269365837' post='2234257'] To clarify the situation since there seems to be some confusion: Qaianna and Comrade WalkerNinja are correct. Emperor Revenge offered a peace deal to FAN long before the war (exit peace mode for a couple of weeks), and it was a standing offer for the remainder. FAN held a position of 'nothing but white peace'. This was the regrettable impasse that led to war continuing as long as it did. [/quote] So wait, since when did Pacifica express regret at the horrendous length of time you spent curbstomping FAN? Oh ho ho. This is the sort of thing you’d never see when Pacifica ruled the world. Back then you justified that sort of crap with statements like ‘we’re not being evil, we’re merely acting in our interests (and how can you expect us to act against our interests?)’ [OOC] Nevermind that the Soviet Union used the same justifications for the imprisonment and mass murder of political dissidents, of course. [/OOC]

[quote name='Bill Wallace' date='03 March 2010 - 10:04 AM' timestamp='1267632501' post='2212654'] Good god man. Do you realize you said that out loud? [/quote] I derive entertainment from making you feel uncomfortable.

Nobody really cares. Goodbye.

[quote name='Corinan' date='27 February 2010 - 01:18 PM' timestamp='1267298519' post='2206793'] I prefer whole milk. The rest is watered down crap. Chocolate milk is the best though. [/quote] Dopp, you wonderful !@#$%^&, stop saying what I want to say before I say it.

Actually, hold it one second, I'll type out a longer response.

TypoNinja, if you don't want to make intelligent comments, try and avoid the blogosphere. There's an entire forum out there full of rather unintelligent people, you'd fit right in.

I think when considering the existence of free will we need to distinguish between two radically different senses of the word 'cause', with corresponding distinctions between different senses of 'determinism'. The causes of human actions are fundamentally different from the causes of non-human actions. For example, when we assess all the causes of an explosion, it becomes impossible for any power in the universe to prevent that explosion. On the other hand, if you're given sufficient cause to celebrate, that does not necessitate your resulting celebration. It follows from this that every movement of human organisms cannot be attributed to necessitating physical causes. These two different senses of causation can be distinguished using Hume's terminology of moral and physical causes. If we describe some non-human event, such as an eclipse of the sun, then we employ the word 'cause' in a sense implying both physical necessity and physical impossibility: what happened was physically necessary and anything else was, in the circumstances, physically impossible. But in the other sense of the word 'cause', the sense in which we attribute motives to human actions, this is not the case. Suppose, for example, that I were to deliver some sort of good news to you. If you choose to respond to the news by celebrating, you may quite properly describe my action as the cause of your celebration. But I did not truly cause your celebration, it was not necessary and unavoidable. Perhaps you might have refrained from celebrating, because we were, say, in a library at the time. In other words, my news may have caused you to say “hooray!” but you might have cried “whoopee!” instead. To adapt a famous phrase of the philosopher-mathematician Gottfriend Leibniz, causes of this second, motivating sort “incline but do not necessitate.” (credit to Antony Flew, whose ideas these are) Does anyone have a refutation? This appears to me to blow the reductionist arguments out of the water.

[quote name='Schattenmann' date='25 February 2010 - 11:12 PM' timestamp='1267161334' post='2204484'] I'm sure that other loose cannons like Doitzel, ChairmanHal, Rebel Virginia have also experienced all these things to a degree. [/quote] I hate to admit it, but ChairmanHal is one of my favorite posters on these forums. Reading his posts is a guilty pleasure, a bit like masturbation.

I don't agree with the OP. I personally find bloody and destructive wars fun. Why discourage them? People in the old days often weren't on 'official' PZI or EZI lists either, Rebel Virginia. It became difficult to tell whose list you were on and people were unofficially hounded everywhere.

How the $%&@ is NSO cowardly for defending their allies? $%&@ you and your double standards. If we were any other alliance, you'd be singing our praises right now. I'm proud to call myself a Sith. Oh, and not so long ago I almost went back to Polar. Grub has succeeded in changing my views. Best of luck to you finding new allies after this war, you'll need it.
