I have to admit I know your Order only through your messages. Even so (or maybe especially so) I wish you many other succesful years. Kett

If this is turning into drama... I think CN needs a big war pretty bad Small side question. Isn't the collection timing defining activity levels?

[quote name='jgolla' timestamp='1283429437' post='2439069'] For an alliance that takes care of their own ghosts, this is probably true. But if an alliance does not take care of its ghost problem, it is conceivable that they would have ghosts of greater size. [/quote] I was involved in ghostbusting when I joined Sparta. It took me two tech deals to get out of the useful range. Young leaders (like myself) do not have the patience to stay [u]that[/u] small. I'll probably have to get through another long war to not care too much about nation building so I get to have 600 soldiers and level one airplanes fun.

[quote name='Yuri Armstrong' timestamp='1281807824' post='2415827'] If Mr. Nixon and the other tech raiders choose to attack nations for no reason but profit, then that is their decision. But don't expect the victims of such raids to quietly accept it. .......... But I guarantee you that I would win this war quite easily if he were to continue his attacks. .......... I however am being rational and giving him a chance to end this war. [/quote] So tell me Yuri, did the police help you? Or will you wait for the war to expire and then say you already won. I see in all these days he did not attack you again, so it was a standard update blitz/raid. WHAT are you talking about then? Are you whining because he didn't send you the peace offer? He doesn't attack, you do not attack. This war will end anyway.

Why is this turning into a crusade against the Goons? This is starting to feel less like "Look raid! Hlep" and more like " GOONS " which is rather odd for a nation that's been created 12 days ago. If your nation is a reroll, please spare everyone the drama of "tech raiding is ruining CN". You should have known better.

It's funny how I always read the threads themselves and then yours Nice job. I think my lazy mind will get used to it in no time.

12 days old, already through two alliances and found the forums. You are a smart guy. Maybe smart enough to realize going independent and doing tech deals will always get you raided? If advice would be needed, I'd say suck it up, find an alliance and stay there for a while (at least that's what I did after getting raided). Kett, still a noob

It would be really helpful if you defined "inactive", "useless" and so on... Or maybe you just want micro-alliances to play a micro-game. There will always be more sheep than wolves/shepherds. Otherwise there would be just bite marks and sticks. And everyone needs meat and wool dude.

Oh well, as the drone I am, I like Sparta's.. and Fark's What I'd really want to see used is: "If you loled to make a point we'll make sure you will get rolled". Even that laughing radish thingy is less annoying than "lol."

[quote name='Lord Fingolfin' date='19 July 2010 - 07:54 PM' timestamp='1279558475' post='2378967'] "Ex-Heg" is no long a collective political identity, rather they're splintering off to either the SF or C&G area of influence, if you paid attention to the OWF you would notice the "Ex-Heg" treaties being cancelled left and right, and many old school NPO allies now having little love for them, and no interest in tieing themselves to the NPO banner. I'd encourage someone to try to name me an "Ex-Heg" alliance in the top 20 besides the NPO. Perhaps TOOL considering they have a secondhand link to NPO via TPF and they are also tied to FEAR who is in a bloc with two direct NPO MDoAP partners, however, thats a rather tenuous link. The Legion is the only true Ex-Heg top 20 alliance left besides NPO, but with these recent cancellations, it looks like they're off to suck the power teat of someone else, so that could bring their Ex-Heg status to an end soon. In essence, SF and C&G won, congratulations, the larger Superfriends and Complaints and Grievances cluster is utterly unopposed, no I'm not trying to trick you into letting your guard down and getting killer by those evil Ex-Heggers, I'm a member of your new world order, its in my interest to see it continue. To use a Aegis/League example again, you saw ODN and Legion and GATO forming up a large part of the core opposition to WUT, the 2006/2007 equivalent to SuperGrievances, and then just months later in the UJW, you had ODN, Legion, and GATO all fighting on the side of the NPO. History repeats itself, Ex-Hegemony alliances are splintering off to either SF or C&G, notable example, UPN has clearly aligned itself with C&G/Blue 2.0, and other examples will be soon to come. [/quote] And you say they are not out to get us!!!!! It's clear they want to pull both sides until SG splits. And yes, I know that five exclamation marks are a clear sign of a deranged mind, thank you.

Why isn't Sparta evil too? You hurt my feelings Tolwyn

I thought people were talking about being right not about losing stats. Try to attack his reasons. Those pictures are not helping anyone. People burned before Ramirus. Some of them did for a just cause. Kett

If you can't play, don't whine. Fun is here, you just have to go look for it.

[quote name='Sigrun Vapneir' date='08 May 2010 - 08:13 AM' timestamp='1273295566' post='2291107'] I will be completely serious with you as well then. Admitting in a general nonspecific way that mistakes occurred doesnt mean anything. Anyone that has lost a round knows they made a mistake somewhere. I read that and I notice that it doesnt say *what* specifically was mistaken, what level of mistake, what you have or will do to make up for it, what you have or will do to avoid repeating it - it tells me nothing I didnt know before I read it. [/quote] It is funny.. and also sad how both sides can't let go. The people's need for other to explain themselves and most of the times not listening to what they say is also funny. This is not a jab at the poster I quoted. It's just how I see things happen. Kett, the not so enlightening oracle of things that already happened.
