  1. Cool! I didn't know about that wonder! LOL.. awesome!!!
  2. I'm not sure if this is a bug or not... I remember that we were allowed to fight 4 offensive wars and 3 defensive wars. I was looking at the Last Call nations and I saw one with 4 offensive wars: Is this a bug or the number of offensive wars has been increased and I'm a retard?
  3. This question is very on topic, but out of curiosity... this is a question that I never asked to anyone in the Senate: Can you vote for yourself? I always assumed that we all could vote for everyone, except ourselves. LOL... I didn't know that a Senator could vote for himself. As for Grub being evil... those who think that he's evil are 100% right. Grub is pure evil, Dajobo is pure goodness and Eatem is the middle path between good and evil.
  4. LOL... I think I have the right to remain silent and refuse to answer questions... and talk to an attorney before speaking to the police.
  5. I do not perceive my life as grandiose, I simply perceive it as my life... But, you are right... PERCEPTION is EVERYTHING. I.e, I host for free artists involved with Hermeticism, Alchemists and Hermeticists when they travel to my country from abroad. In most cases the person whom I host is the friend of a friend of a friend of a friend. Too many times I've been told: "you are crazy, they are going to steal something from you! They can be dangerous". Guess what... none of them ever stole a single cent from me... all of them gave me gifts in return... and interesting conversations, experiences, etc. I do participate a lot in an internet based group of alchemists from all over the world... It's not based on Facebook, though most of us there are also "facebook friends" (and friends). I recently saw something that taught me a lesson: I would divide the alchemists in 3 broad groups: (1) amateurs, (2) persons with experience and (3) damn geniuses. Some time ago a person who belonged to the second group showed some practices he had done... and most of them were following a very "chemical" logic... and they were fine, but mostly missing the point. Some persons whom I would describe as members of the third group pointed out for him the mistakes he was making and asked him to think again, even providing very pertinent classical literature on the specific subject. This person went mad and started to accuse everyone of being a "merchant" and trying to sell him the "true secrets" of Alchemy... and mostly blamed everyone else for his own mistakes (for the records, nobody there "sells" the ancient methods... we simply exchange them in private, based on trust, friendship, loyalty, etc). I confronted him and told him: "They are simply telling you to change your perception (about your practices), but such thing triggered in you a weird perception of everyone else... change your own perception before your perception eats you alive... because you are wasting a golden chance to learn just for being paranoid". How is this related to facebook? It's an identical situation, even if Malik or you have no interest in "alchemy"... but you have an interest in something else, that's for sure... and that's OK (growing bonsais, literature, cinema, political theory, philosophy, etc). A friend of mine told me something funny about the alchemy group: "this is a dating site, except that it's not about love relationships of sex". Being addicted to Facebook leads nowhere, but avoiding it because you can't deal with the existence of other persons is a problem. Sometimes amazing things happen in unexpected places (i.e, it happened to me in the CN forums... a Chemist got in touch with me after some posts about alchemy... and I've had very interesting conversations with him via private messages... exchanging two very different points of view... and his experience with Chemistry helped me a LOT to avoid some dangers related to alchemy -specially dangers related to the industrial lye and its contamination with mercury... or we had very nice conversations about some reactions of Antimony under certain circumstances... even if our "world views" are completely different). Due to his comments on the Boiler Room, I am more or less aware of what kind of personality Malik has... He perceives that his life is "worst" than the life of some other persons because he's African-American... and he blames everyone because this issue has made his life "worst" (according to his own perception). I don't like at all the ideology of the infamous "Greatest Mothers", but I can understand their ways of perceiving reality. Never saw them blaming anyone for the life they live... and it's an obvious fact that being a heterosexual female is easier in our societies than being a lesbian... and I hate more of their views... but I never saw them complaining or blaming others... and that's an excellent attitude.
  6. Oh well... !!! It was a nice war. The only disappointing issue is that it finished before having an official name... It's a bit sad when wars don't have a name. o/ Nameless war o/ NpO o/ SNX o/ EateMup o/ Buuyo P.S, MontyKo was cool fighting... LOL... a bit obsessed with me, but still cool.
  7. LOL... I would be lost without facebook when it comes to organizing my art gallery and finding new artists. It is also the best platform to submit my own works... Thanks to FB I will be featured in a few months in a collective exhibition that features the works of some of my favorite artists of the XX century. Thanks to FB I've worked at an exhibition as the performer of a live work of one of the most respected contemporary artists... And we have plans to do one or two collaborative works. Thanks to FB I've hosted at home several times artists from all over the world... And received priceless art pieces many times. I have also been hosted for free whilst traveling abroad... And I don't waste time looking at silly photos or liking nonsense... It's simply like a bookstore... You can choose to read 50 shades of crap or William Blake.
  8. PAPER!!!! And my Imperial Decree is that You have lost.
  9. LOL... this isn't even about "turtling", but about seeing a constant use of unescorted air attacks using 70 bombers against nations with 100 fighters.... They fail, so they purchase again 70 bombers and do it again (?????). An obsession with the weird spy attacks ("Destroy Infra", "incite religious propaganda"... or the classic "destroy generals" ---> "Success, but no generals were found"..... and again: "destroy Generals" ---> Damn, don't you get that there are NO generals with the first message???) And a huge list of etceteras that makes anyone wonder: "Do they have war guides???? Is their Minister of Defense monitoring their wars and helping the ones who have no idea about how the whole thing works?"
  10. No... you misunderstood the context of his initial post, probably because it's like an "internal joke". We are laughing at how terrible is SNX when it comes to fighting wars.... an issue that is not related at all with the obvious position they are facing right now (we know that they are outnumbered). But there are some issues that we are seeing again and again and make us laugh: You probably fought a war against a Nation that seems not to understand the basics of war... let's say that SNX seems to be like the chosen home of those who make absurd mistakes again and again... It is true that the maths are against them... but still... Even their upper tier is completely lost about how to fight a war. I would explain why and which ones are the HUGE mistakes that they usually make... but it wouldn't be cool to offer "hints" at the Alliance we are fighting with.
  11. http://forums.cybernations.net/index.php?/topic/128610-royal-proclomation-of-doom-kingdom/ I suddenly feel proud of having created this thread!!!!!
  12. I.e, I don't get why an Alliance like GOD never posted a "GOD commandment"!!!!! Whilst the CCC should have been posting "Epistoles to the citizens of Planet Bob".
  13. LOL.... why so many "Emperors"? Ivan created this tendency with the NPO and NpO and the Siths.... But why don't we have Tzarist Decrees, Democratic Decrees, Parliamentary Decrees, Anarchist Notifications, etc... Nowadays everyone's an "Emperor"... Some day we'll see the LSF posting "Imperial Decrees".
  14. Ah... OK, then it's one of those "size doesn't matter" issues... I get it.
  15. Does anybody else feel that the phrase "Imperial Decree" is being abused??? I mean... I sometimes see some 3 Nations Alliances posting "Imperial Decrees".... Aren't you meant to have a HUGE power as to post an "Imperial Decree"? I don't think that Alliances which are not places in, say, the top 10 Alliances list or *special cases* that we've seen in the history of small Alliances with a HUGE power due to treaties of political or military influence.... But if you have a 30 nations Alliance with an average NS and you are not *special* in the treaty web... should you use the expression "Imperial Decree"?
  16. He took EaTeMuP's corn... and made popcorn with it.
  17. We are not mocking the GPA at all, we simply want its Minister of Defense to have some fun... how can such thing be bad? :p
  18. Junka is the kind of person who can post in a thread about Quantum Physics and the Big Bang and say something about the warriors of Hawaii defeating the atoms....
  19. My favorite war was the one that brought the NPO down... I can't remember the name of that war right now (was that one the "Karma war"). It's my favorite war because it's the war that splits the history of CN in two. This isn't an argument against the NPO, but it was certainly the fall of the biggest Empire that CN ever knew. Whilst Bi-Polar is overrated... it was "funny" because it was a war that involved humorous or paradoxical situations and Polaris had to do the strangest things in the whole of its History... but I don't think it is a war that defines the history of CN.
  20. Is this a rule for the Tournament Edition or is it also a rule for the Standard Edition??? I can't ask in the thread because it's in the TE section and I don't play TE... I am not sure what XP farming is.... in the STANDARD EDITION (in TE I don't care, I don't play TE).
  21. An excellent way to express your concern and make the game mods care about what you are saying!
