[quote name='Uncle Stalin' timestamp='1283910026' post='2446026'] You could say they fail even at failing, as it were. And before one of you says it, two wrongs [i]don't[/i] make a right. You still suck if you suck at sucking. [/quote] I don't care what alliance I'm in, that was funny.

Uh, how can someone be playing the victim when they are, in fact, the victim? There's not much to debate on this, GOONS are handling this professionally and with a good deal of tact. If it is just a PR stunt, keep them coming. Much better than the alternative.

[quote name='Duncan King' timestamp='1283314288' post='2437890'] Please, the contest is for new work, not old and moldy stuff Anu dug out of his closet. [/quote] Sorry, didn't realize it was for new work, I withdrawal my entries. You can add not reading to not being able to spell late at night. And they may be old and moldy stuff I pulled out of the closet, but you should have seen the other things in there (including pollexter, but he chose to stay in the closet

This was definitely political at the time I used it: [img]http://ascelios.com/McCroskey/Anu/Signatures/anucareslion.gif[/img] My war sig vs. NoV: [img]http://ascelios.com/McCroskey/Anu/Signatures/anusigkm.gif[/img] And even with bad spelling: [img]http://ascelios.com/McCroskey/Anu/Signatures/toldyou.gif[/img] Those are somehow the least random sigs I've used regarding politics.

Congrats to Argent, very well played indeed. And thanks, er, Caligula. You and I totally on the same side of something. Strangely refreshing.

Historically, miiitarily, strategically: NPO MK Fark

Congrats to those that made it to the final four, it has been fun to watch. Are there consolation prizes for the most growth during the course of the event? That's ok, we're going for a bigger prize currently

[quote name='zenergy' timestamp='1282858312' post='2432046'] If MK had any stones to back up all their talk they'd immediately declare on the contest winner. Anything else is just hot air. [/quote] Are you kidding me? First of all, MK has consistently showed that they have immense stones, anyone that has fought them is well aware of this fact. Whatever position you are coming from in this, it is ridiculous. If I cared enough anymore to actually care about any of this I'd have to agree with the voting so far based on that post alone, regardless of all the wonderful things said about me and NATO in the past (I'll still always love you Chickenzilla). My apologies to Archon for zenergy's comments.

ALMEA, and it happening right before the old forums ended. So that circus of threads will forever stay on the front page of the Alliance Announcements forum. Good times...

[quote name='Wentworth the Brave' timestamp='1282002048' post='2418383'] No hated memories. It's a game. I even love the alliances I hate IC. [/quote] I'll definitely agree with you on the last part. And extend it to characters, because I don't know of anyone I really don't like on a personal level from the game. /except Tristan of course

Unquestionably the UJW and the decision to enter against GOONS is the obvious worst memory I have (I remember after a thread where I apologized to \m/ on the world forum coming back to NATO's forum and posting that I had to turn off my computer because my arse was starting to look like the Japanese flag). The NATO cold/civil war of 2008 ranks up there, as does the inability to get NPO to listen about the crumbling of tC and attacking OV. That would be when I stopped trying to take this all so seriously. But alas, what happened happened, and observing is much more fun now.

I'm sure I'll get in some sort of trouble for this but I don't understand the thinking here NSO. Even if you didn't get the info you asked for, why escalate things further by doing something that was clearly stated to be an act of war? I'm sure there are at least 7 sides of this story, but from this thread it is puzzling at least.

NATO would like the lower half of New Zealand, if possible. If you drop off the northern island I think the bottom is 17 provinces, which our 3.5 million NS should cover. If I have my math right. Consider it a pole shift We're blue, so whatever the default is for that.

[quote name='kriekfreak' timestamp='1281195865' post='2403738'] Prove it. (read: do the update ) [/quote] If I wasn't so lazy, I would totally do it. But I really am lazy on Saturday, and there are kids everywhere... Edit: we did pass iFok

Our best day ever. I believe it would have been biggest gainer if we were in the Sanction Race.

It will be nice to see NATO on top of the Survivor chart for at least one day. Up well over a point today, thanks to our new former GUN members.

[quote name='Buds The Man' timestamp='1281055409' post='2402197'] LnK Hakim and Anu ive spent the better part of my CN career allied to you and working with you guys. It has been a pleasure and` I wish NATO well and wish them the best as we both continue on our chosen paths. May Admin smile upon us both. o/ NATO o/ Valhalla [/quote] You know we have the deepest respect for you Bud. And to Valhalla. We had some good times together and it has always been reliably cooperative. Recently we lost that in our communications so this was expected of course, but sad all the same. May your boats be long and your women be only slightly hairy. /also, likewise ChairmanHal

Nargils all up in this thread. Omni, thank you, btw.

My hat looks so pretty from the back like that.

[quote name='Ashoka the Great' timestamp='1280529069' post='2395454'] That which has been seen cannot be un-seen. Thanks. [/quote] Changed just for you, although you will still see the old one.

Good moves, good luck GOD.

My buddy Lenny always kept me grounded and is the best consigliore that money can buy. Duncan King taught me patience and determination. Dilber was the go-to guy to get something done. But most of what I've done or learned has been done alone. Another reason why the first two love/hate me.

[quote name='Johnny Apocalypse' timestamp='1280500966' post='2395002'] Even if you did go on holiday (vacation) why enter peace mode? Are you really that paranoid? [/quote] Yes, we are, but that has nothing to do with this. OOC: Scipio, that is the center of the Egyptian Winged Disk. Not sure of the shock image that it looks like, sorry.

Wait, wait, wait, let me get this straight. KingZog is married? Skinny dipping is fun, congrats! Also, yeah, something is fishy about all of this. I've never gotten the impression that NSO held these types of feelings towards Pacifica. Set up maybe, or strange psy-op? Either way, the OP was a great read...

[quote name='Ashoka the Great' timestamp='1280413626' post='2393917'] One word: Xiphosis. EDIT: Also, voted 'imminent war' because wishful thinking is the only thing that keeps me going. [/quote] I'll give Xip credit for inspiration, but he wasn't the reason.
