  1. Year upon year operating as a tech bank? I guess there ARE those for whom the achingly dull and formulaic experience of Planet Bob is still enjoyable. More power to them! Without them, I'd be running out of NPO targets by now.
  2. I'm not blaming anybody for the decline of Planet Bob or the Decline of TPF. NPO and other major play-it-safe alliances aren't necessarily bad; they're just the embodiment of taking things safe, jeopardizing nothing, and going through the motions. Life on Planet Bob has involved going through the motions for years now. For both the dominant and the demolished, even warfare has become a rote, joyless yearly practice; a short period of mildly-boring formulaic “fighting” followed by months and months of sheer tedium while preparing for the next predictable and increasingly uninspired dust-up. It doesn’t matter which side of the curb our nations are on. It’s just a different kind of tedium we deal with. Planet Bob is a calcified, shambling corpse. If the predictable and bland modern life on Planet Bob doesn’t have your citizens contemplating pulling-the-plug on their life-support, I commend you. I liked being a ruler of my nation for several years, maybe from 2007-2011). This "use-my-warchest-to-harass-NPO-on-my-way-out" is my love letter to the old Planet Bob and a middle-finger to what it has become. I'd love to see this sort of exit become a tradition. Someday, the Gods of Planet Bob may finally throw their hands up and perform a planetary mercy-killing. I'm not sticking around for it.
  3. That's me! Running my country has for years been a rote, dull affair, punctuated by predictable and mechanical "warfare." The choice to leave is between a whimper (going inactive and letting the warchest expire) or a bang (spending the warchest down with one last lingering round of predictable and mechanical "warfare"). It's not much of a bang, but Planet Bob hasn't seen a real "bang" of a war in years.
  4. I'm at 3230 days. 6 Years since Karma!? Man, that was the last major war that even approached being epic! God, it just hit me! CN is like a tired marriage and the major conflicts are like sex! It started off hot and heavy, never knowing when a war might happen. There was passion! The mood could strike anytime. Now, the yearly Planet Bob dust-up is predictable like clockwork and the actual conflicts are uninspired and going through the motions.
