  1. Cybernations Convention 2012

    in Open World RP

    Posted

    This would be terribly awkward. Not sure if it's a good or bad awkward.

    "Hi, I play this outdated game under the name Ironfist"
    "Who?"
    "Iron... eh $%&@ it"

    And then there's the off chance you accidentally meet someone you're "friends" with over IRC.

    "So you're that guy..."
    "Yup"
    "I have to admit... I had higher hopes for what you looked like"

    You have an incredible amount of faith in this community good sir.
    The whole idea behind neutrality is that you don't have friends. You kind of just hover about until somebody with a bigger stick than you wants to beat you with it.

    What's more is nobody owes the GPA a damn thing. The GPA never helped any alliance, they never condemned the actions of any alliance and they never even offered shelter to any individual nations.

    Someday if and when somebody decides to roll GPA and use them as a personal tech farm they'll have lots of sympathy, but very few sane people will come to their defense. I mean why should they? Why should the GPA expect that they do?

    In a world where we have rampant wars based on grudges and faux morality, I can safely assure you it's not a question of faith, but rather obvious consequence. And you seem to have a lack of knowledge with regards to neutrality. I don't know if you've ever been in a neutral alliance, least of all GPA, but my brief stint there taught me the exact opposite of what you've said. Neutrality isn't about not making friends, in fact it's almost entirely [i]about[/i] making "friends". Friends =/= allies. That's why you'll see (albeit outdated) Declarations of Neutrality. From memory there was also something called the UJA (not sure about the current status of that).

    Having no treaties and refusing to get involved in political play does not mean you don't talk to people or make friendships. I doubt GPA expects anything from anyone else but I'd be [b]very[/b] surprised if there wasn't action taken against anyone who decided to exploit an otherwise harmless neutral alliance.

    You're cute. I'll give you a hint though: how many blocs to TOP and MK both belong to (and by that, I mean "together in the same bloc")? Even a rough estimate would be OK.
    Since I'm still feeling generous, you'll get extra credits [b]if you can explain the difference between a bloc and a "regular" treaty.[/b]

    To be fair, DH has tried pretty hard to make it so [i]no one[/i] knows :P

    Oh so the entire awards ceremony is going to be two awards?

    I take it back, you're doing a fine job and I have complete confidence in your ability.

    It's not really necessary to try and bring someone down for [i]this[/i]. These things happen every year. I gather your thoughts would be different if it weren't someone relatively unknown.

    I'm already getting mad at GPA for being in the top spot. >:[

    If they maintain the #1 spot, I'm sure they will eventually be attacked again. I would love to see them give into paranoia.. it is in part their lack of fear, lack of paranoia that insults us. They [i]should[/i] be paranoid. I'm sure they won't though, they will stick to their values even as they are rolled in a rather unspectacular fashion due to having no allies.
    [/quote]

    If someone were to attack GPA, there'd be alliances coming to GPA's defence, I'd imagine. If not, they'd still get most of the sympathy. No one comes close to Pacifica's past swagger; we wouldn't be witnessing Woodstock 2.

    And now the guy changed his AA back to MHA...
    So let me get this straight. You guys offer individual terms on the OWF and nations you declare on after the first set of attacks. You've netted 6 of 490 odd nations so far with this great strategy. Now most CnGers are showing some class and bantering about our use of questionable war crimes tactics :P but there is still a couple people flogging the dead horse? Seriously?
    [/quote]

    To be fair, dead horses are the easiest prey. And at the end of the day, that guy is still in the MHA AA. Does he really deserve to stay there?

    This is the wrong colour too. Not really a big deal though :P

    The goal of peace is fine. Not being politically interesting in any way at all is fine. But don't try and say you didn't get there by picking the right side every time. While it might not have been your objective to save stats, saving stats is exactly what got you the spot.

    But who cares? Records are records. Congratulations on a feat that won't ever be beaten. Haters are going to do what they do best.

    I miss the days where all the war refuges flocked to them and they were pushing a couple hundred. :b

    Unless I'm missing something here, 10% Tax Rate is maybe a glitch? If not.... rofl.
    [/quote]

    Some people keep their tax rate low to appease the people when it's not time to collect. It's RP.

    And why on earth would someone go to peace mode [b]and[/b] surrender? Whatever his emergency, I don't see why he wouldn't stay on the AA in peace mode. Are his alliance mates not that understanding, or what?
