When Polaris surrenders, and I know Polaris will surrender with Grub at the helm, I sincerely hope the victors make a clause stating that Grub can't get back into government...ever. This is just beyond shameful.

I came, I saw smug face, I left.

[/quote] Not necessarily. Connotations are of a very personal manner, and it really depends more on where you were during and slightly after the Hegemony's time than anything else. For me, Hegemony means either epic fail -from NoR's pitiful attempt at making a bloc, which fell through the roof...or was it Nov?- or an outstanding success, in the case of the real Hegemony.

[quote name='Oktavia' date='03 February 2010 - 03:36 PM' timestamp='1265236592' post='2157279'] The war is an interesting turn from how it originally played. Alliances there were fighting (or were assumed to be) on NpO's side are now fighting against IRON & TOP and [b]this war clearly shows that some alliances will just gravitate to the side they believe is going to win in the long run.[/b] This war also proved that white peace is a lie since it was abused as a period of military reorganization to get back into the same fight. [/quote] I hate to break it to you darling, but that's been a constant in CN since post-GW1 (Maybe even before but I wasn't around back then so idk).

I expect this style of writing from Starfox, not you. Please put a little more effort into these kinds of things next time. Thanks!

Good luck ADI! o/

really late and this is what you get ...ignore me

I doubted you Polaris. I seriously doubted you-it's def. good to see you disproving those doubts.

TOP simply eliminated the middleman. This is the same war as the last one. Polar just bailed. [b]2. Viceroys I do not believe are illegal in and of themselves. Merely demanding control of a forum that is.[/b][/color] [/quote] That would be correct.

While I'm not in NSO anymore, I have to wonder Daikos: [b]Why[/b] aren't you attacking NSO? I mean really, wtf? You guys !@#$%*ed on NSO so damn much and now that you have your chance at finally rolling them, you're just going to let it pass you by? It's not like it would even take much...hell NSO only has a few warslots left by now so it's not like it would be a big commitment for you to back up all your trash talk.

This has to be a first. Can't say I've ever seen a backwards treaty.

[quote name='Mack Truck' date='31 January 2010 - 09:56 PM' timestamp='1265000194' post='2149627'] I understand that, but calling them cowards because they haven't done so makes no sense. [/quote] It kinda does considering DF has entered virtually every NSO topic to antagonize a fight with them and, now that they have their big chance to put their money where their mouth's have been, they decided not to attack NSO. For most alliances I would agree with you, but DF is an exception, because they've gone out of their way to try and get a fight out of NSO.

I'm seriously dissapointed FAN's first order of business after buildup wasn't killing NoR.

@Mack Truck - The reason NSO members are raising such a big stink about this is because of all the smacktalk that has come from DF, and over such a long time. Sure, mathematically DF might be taking on a bigger opponent, but after all the crap that DF piled on NSO, you'd think they'd want to drive in the hammer themselves.

Could just be that STA bases its friendship on the experiences that they have had with Vanguard/MK, rather than on MK's/Vanguards treaties.

Well, it looks like we're going back to the drawing board.

Well this has been cute. It's good to know we all can figure out how to get to a nations screen. Indeed. Just don't hold your breath for that to happen: it takes a while to ZI someone and keep them there long enough for them to get tired of the game.

I came across this little gem from Van Hoo a while ago, when he decided to trash on ADI in a recent thread: Sounds good to me. After all, PZI was kicked a while ago, right? Well, maybe not entirely... Apparently wrecking a nation repeatedly until you get your way isn't PZI nowadays. It's just teaching a moral lesson. Take from that encounter what you will, but it got me back to thinking about some of Hoo's other comments, particularly these ones that he made when he was trying to soften the PR blow from some leaked logs: The last line of these logs, if you take Hoo's account at face value, were maliciously "faked". Yet they seem to indicate precisely what Hoo is on about now: forcing people out of the game. Call me a cynic, but it sure seems like Hoo is falling into a bit of a pattern here.

Expect us to move AA's to the Neutral Pacific Order tonight at update.

Very honorable of you. You didn't need to do this with the non-chaining clause in that treaty, yet you did. o/ CD

PZI doesn't have to be about forcing someone out of the game. It's just about making it miserable enough for them not to want to play anymore and that's exactly what you're proposing.

War without chance of peace with constant "wrecking". How is this not PZI? Do you think that by saying "wrecking" you've made your comment suffeciently vague enough to disguise your real intentions? Because let me assure that if that was your intent, no one with so much as an iota of intelligence will buy into that.
