[quote name='memoryproblems' timestamp='1308693896' post='2737817'] Just like you think you know what your talking about in every topic. I don't think everybody is buying that, I think its a lot more believable that SOS wanted to get more then just some 'compromise' from this situation, considering everything I've heard in the past several months about the condition of relations between the two alliances. I think SOS wanted alot more, but sometimes, you've got to "compromise", a compromise here being not getting anything and making themselves look like idiots. [/quote] Haha, whatever you say. And believe what you want, because I know that I am right on this matter, if only this matter of all things I have debated in the past. SOS wanted NsO to leave them alone. NsO pester them for months. SOS show that they are willing to go to war over this and put their money where their mouth is. NsO agree to distance themselves on an official level for eternity. Happy ending there.

[quote name='Penlugue Solaris' timestamp='1308693694' post='2737810'] Anything that would have been gained from that was destroyed by how poorly they handled it. [/quote] Of course you could say that, but at the end of the day SOS already has allies, and what's more, allies who had obviously been consulted before this happened and gave the go-ahead, so I think SOS are in a pretty decent position at the end of this, all things considered.

[quote name='General Anderan' timestamp='1308693554' post='2737803'] Pretty poor raid considering I've had a net gain from this. [/quote] Casualties are the best part of a raid, so everybody wins.

[quote name='BamaBuc' timestamp='1308693488' post='2737801'] You're buying Locke's statement that this agreement is exactly what SOS wanted? Well okay. -Bama [/quote] Unlike most of you I've spent time talking to the leadership of SOS of what they wanted and why, and have followed the relationship between these two alliances since the split and formation of the NsO. I think I know what I'm talking about on this topic, if any.

[quote name='Locke' timestamp='1308693306' post='2737791'] A compromise. As I've stated repeatedly in public and in private I've been against war as it is a rather ineffective tool. We did what we needed to do to ensure this outcome. [/quote] Having Chimaera posting this was a compromise? I didn't say you weren't against this war?

I think what you're all missing is that SOS pulled off an alliance wide raid and got the terms they wanted, all at no expense. Deserve a pat on the back for that, alone.

[quote name='Mogar' timestamp='1308693055' post='2737772'] We figured it would be better for him to rather than me, since I would have made the entire peace accords about me. [/quote] Sort of want.

[quote name='Chimaera' timestamp='1308692965' post='2737766'] I'm important. [/quote] Someone hasn't changed

Chimaera is posting this....what?

You make me want to go back to the time where you needed permission from your alliance to make a thread.

Wish this was a Kamichi thread. Oh well, sign me up, why not.

[quote name='Hereno' timestamp='1308671635' post='2737319'] [center][img]http://i.imgur.com/zh5UL.png[/img] [size="6"]Attention Members of the SOS Brigade[/size] [/center] War. What is it good for? Nothing, if you ask me. Recently, we've taken note to your alliance's warpath, creating an Anime v Anime war over all but nothing except irrational hatred and Arrnea's delusions. Is that how a real alliance acts? I don't think so. Is this war really good for the spread of anime on Bob? Hardly. I'd like to personally invite you all to join Tetris, an alliance with class, who seeks to use our words before using our fists. Upon joining Tetris, you will be given access to the following: 1. Access to an alliance not lead by Arrnea. 2. [b]Access to our anime archives[/b], with more tapes and magazines than we can count (or ever would want to). 3. But most importantly, an alliance not lead by Arrnea. In addition to all of this, Tetris is situated right next to the other (and much better) anime-themed alliance on this world, so you'll never be too far away from your favorite pass-time! If you're interested, just head over to our forums and post your application. Please note that this invitation is for [b]current SOS Brigade members, and SOS Brigade members [u]only[/u].[/b] Thank you for your time! I hope to see you all very soon! [/quote] The anime archives are a lie! Also, pastime, not pass-time, lol.

Weeaboo War Edit: even though I thought of this as soon as the war started, someone else has already posted it, so I'm for this one, too.

[quote name='Astarle' timestamp='1308664081' post='2737219'] Jens - really? So many themed alliances around here and you are all surprised at anime alliances. You have one yourself in your avvie and sig. So do I! Shall we wish them death? No no. Wish the best prevails? [b]SURE![/b] [/quote] 1. I'm not surprised(?) at anime alliances. 2. Yes I do. 3. I'm not wishing them death. I do however think that there are bad and good anime watchers/manga readers. The "bad" ones I couldn't care less about and usually take anime so "seriously" that it inhibits other skills in their life. The "good" more casual ones I'm absolutely fine with. Sadly there is an overwhelming majority of the bad type in this world, with this game not being an exception to that, which I believe, is probably why the "weeaboos" are hated here.

[quote name='Astarle' timestamp='1308658256' post='2737151'] You are all giving anime lovers a bad name. That is really what makes me angry about all this... Okay so if you play CN and are a HUGE anime fan to the POINT that you will only join an anime alliance - you basically have two options. And now you are fighting. I wish the Star Wars alliances would go to head over this. Is there another music alliance, btw, for Symphony? [/quote] Anime lovers can't have a worse name. [quote name='Pollard' timestamp='1308660172' post='2737169'] Christmas has come early. [/quote] Put this in your DoW on SOS thread. Otherwise it's too soon.

This is literally the best thing ever.

[quote name='Mandellav' timestamp='1308542283' post='2735431'] I am honored and blessed to be a leader of this amazing group of individuals. The world has not yet seen a force as great as ours now that we are united as one. o/ The Last Remnants! [/quote] Hopefully you've still got a bit of growing to do, because so far it isn't terribly impressive.

[quote name='dealmaster13' timestamp='1308255561' post='2732604'] As to the hundreds of you [b]asking me to buy land[/b], which I found quite frankly a surprise, I think I'd pass on that one, recalling how much land cost (almost double what infra does at my level) before I lost it all in war. Hello Jens, James Maximus and zoomy [b]zoomy still thinks that you might be a girl, Jens,[/b] and I hoped that zoomy would be proud of this moment having spent so much cash over the years on gather intels [/quote] Fyi they're trolling Don't know how to respond to this

[quote name='jereish1' timestamp='1308265558' post='2732673'] is this even legal >.> this is a new one never seen this before xD [/quote] Not that I'm proud of it, but I made a mercenary "alliance" 4 years ago, and even then I was being told it was an old idea.

[quote name='HeroofTime55' timestamp='1308250891' post='2732561'] Meh. I'm not gonna lie, I dislike people who buy their way to the top like that. I mean, I donated in the past. I'm responsible for netting admin at least $300, even if much of that was not out of my own pocket. But there is a point where it is just over the top. Hime Themis has crossed that line, and looped around the globe to cross it again. You're right, though; Admin isn't going to do anything that might pose even a slight risk to his income stream. Doesn't mean it wouldn't make the game better. I disagree as to the impact that raising the cap to, oh, say, $6m, or even $10m, might have on the game, but the point does still stand. It is one of the bigger problems with this game, though. And you do have to weigh alienating a handful of people like Hime Themis, versus making the game better and increasing membership by thousands. Doubling or tripling the aid cap would give new nations a fighting chance. [/quote] When this world is dead, Hime Themis is going to throw one hell of a wobbly Unless he's secretly rich.

Noooo, how can this happen? At least I can find consolation in the fact that all your collective fail will be in one big alliance now. Love you all, xxxx Jens

RnR rolls off the tongue better, so I'll keep calling it that either way.

[quote name='Sandwich Controversy' timestamp='1308198064' post='2732253'] Having the #1 nation in CyberNations so almost 20,000 people [i]worldwide[/i] will be jealous of your achievement [/quote] You can take one off that list, as I think it's a sad ambition in this game. And well done on the warchest O.A.

I just don't get the humour of people here.

Read through pretty much all of it and skimmed parts. Most disappointed in VE and their response to Avalon.
