[quote name='Thunder Strike' date='30 April 2010 - 09:27 AM' timestamp='1272583616' post='2280476'] quite frankly Hyperonics 'yelling' at you was the best way to get you to address an issue. [/quote] You're RIA government?

[quote name='im317' date='30 April 2010 - 05:49 AM' timestamp='1272570560' post='2280184'] i don't want to argue all the technical issues, i know i don't know enough about that to hold my own, but i have to ask one thing. please note that the 'hacking' was a ooc action and hyperonic/kenny represented RIA ooc as a tech representative. he is not IC RIA gov and his ooc actions being used to form an IC opinion of the RIA is incredibly childish and shows a lack of ability to differentiate OOC from IC. also the logs in screen shot form are not disputed as being real, they have been claimed to be taken out of context but nobody has argued they are fake. again anyone who forms and IC opinion of RIA based on the OOC actions of a non government member(IC*) is being ignorant of the IC/OOC line and at this point is doing it intentionally. *(who almost doesn't even take any part in the IC aspect) [/quote] I'm surprised this damage control isn't in the apology thread.. Oh wait, there isn't an apology thread. The IC/OOC was broken by RIA first and I still, honestly cannot believe Hyperonic is getting away with his 'OOC' actions.

Well, I still can't make up my mind on who dunnit, but I can see that this Hyperonic guy seems like a class act... Good show sir, make fun of his disabilities.

[quote name='Dochartaigh' date='28 April 2010 - 10:21 PM' timestamp='1272457259' post='2278430'] nothing. i showed that Gremlins has lost 2 nations over 35k NS compared to IRON's 1 nation. if Gremlins continues to lose 2 nations over 35k NS then Gremlins will lose the advantage. IRON will most likely end up staying the same number since sooner or later, they will most likely start to gain nations even if they do lose some nations occasionally. you did exactly as Matt did and looked at the surface instead of delving beneath it. on the surface, yes, the ratio slid slightly more into Gremlins favor currently, but do you honestly think it will continue that way? again, especially if Gre continues to either have their upper NS nations delete or leave the alliance? now this may not happen, but then there is the fact that the mid-tier NS is significantly in IRON/DAWN's favor and thus, soon Gre won't have any 40k or below nations unless they are ZIed nations. but yes, i am a complete moron who can't seem to grasp being corrected, despite explaining myself quite clearly in the post you quoted... the fact that i stated "should you continue to LOSE your upper NS nations" should have pointed you in the direction i was going (i.e. just in case, the first set of numbers was 32 to 10. this means that Gremlins had 32 nations over 50K NS and IRON had 10 nations over 50k NS. follow me thus far Mushroom Man???? now, the second set of numbers was 30 to 9. this means that Gremlins had 30 nations over 50k NS and IRON had 9 nations over 50k NS. okay. now if you take 32 and subtract 30 from it, you get 2 nations left over. this means that Gremlins lost 2 nations. now if you take 10 and subtract 9 from it, you get 1 nation left over. this means that IRON lost 1 nation. which number out of 2 and 1 is larger? now, i also go on to explain the fact that IRON will more than likely start gaining nations instead of continuing to lose them, which means that if Gremlins continues to lose their upper NS at a rate of around 2 every couple of weeks, then Gremlins will lose the advantage they currently hold. now i am unsure if i could honestly break this concept down any further but i could try to go Barney style if you still do not understand Mushroom Man.) next time i suggest instead of just trying to insult me, you actually take a look at what it is i am discussing, otherwise, you just make yourself look like a fool. [/quote] I don't understand how you are continuing to use a trend quite clearly in Gremlins favour to try and convince me that eventually Gremlins will lose. If you want to tell me Gremlins will lose, don't even mention the goddamn trend that is in their favour. It's quite simple, Barney man.

How does one become a councillor in IRON, if you don't mind me asking?

[quote name='Dochartaigh' date='28 April 2010 - 01:29 AM' timestamp='1272382136' post='2277348'] the unconditional surrender is plain pathetic. how about Gremlins surrender instead? the war continues as long as Gremlins continues to try and flaunt some insane notion that they have the strength necessary to actually demand an unconditional surrender. You may have an advantage in the upper NS region currently, but the longer you keep this up, the less likely Gremlins will continue to hold that upper NS advantage. currently, Gremlins went from having a 32 to 10 nation advantage in the upper ranks (50k and up) to having a 30 to 9 advantage. if you include 35k NS and up nations, Gre only has a 33 to 17 nation advantage. so all Gre has to do is surrender to end this. [/quote] [quote name='Matthew PK' date='28 April 2010 - 01:50 AM' timestamp='1272383394' post='2277355'] 30/9 > 32/10 [/quote] [quote name='Dochartaigh' date='28 April 2010 - 03:54 AM' timestamp='1272390876' post='2277453'] but you know that will not always hold true. should you continue to lose your upper NS nations at this rate, while i am fairly certain IRON/DAWN will most likely start to gain nations, you will inevitably start to lose the edge there. [/quote] You tried to point out a pattern emerging in IRON's favour, you were corrected in that the pattern is quite clearly in Gremlins favour, and you decide to carry on using this same pattern as an argument to why IRON will eventually beat Gremlins? What the hell is wrong with you?

GOONs farted now too? Oh boy, now you're really in for it.

I deserve your money.

Looks like I do still have much to learn ...

[quote name='Lennox' date='27 April 2010 - 01:13 PM' timestamp='1272338004' post='2276836'] What do you do when SCM speaks? [/quote] Not more !@#$@#$ DF/NSO crap.. You both suck, get over it.

[quote name='Vasuda' date='27 April 2010 - 04:55 AM' timestamp='1272308130' post='2276211'] Incorrect, good sir. You have not come anywhere close to providing me with as much entertainment as RV has; in this thread, or countless others. Also, who is this Dr. Beefstupid character? It must certainly be a testament to RV's presence on this world that someone out there believes he actually warrants a Bizarro version of himself. Well done, RV. Edit: And I almost forgot to mention that I would greatly enjoy seeing GOONS carry out just one of their threats directed at an alliance with treaty partners, and that it would just be icing on the cake if the chosen alliance was FEAR. [/quote] There's no need to take your anger out on me, yo. You're just angsty because you know if GOONs actually did hit FEAR; IAA and RV together wouldn't be able to do jack to change the outcome.

[quote name='Haflinger' date='26 April 2010 - 09:18 PM' timestamp='1272280674' post='2275867'] That's a nice opinion. It's not actually based on the text of any of the surrender terms that I quoted though. In other words, it's a matter of interpretation. If they said stuff like "neutral with respect to the current conflict for the duration of the current conflict," then you'd be right. Instead they say stuff like "completely neutral" - one went so far as to explicitly ban warring. [/quote] Wow, dude you are seriously onto something here!

[quote name='Alfred von Tirpitz' date='26 April 2010 - 03:12 PM' timestamp='1272258754' post='2275702'] That sounds brilliantly structured, if true. [/quote] Archon is a mastermind, there is no doubt it is true. I will work towards uncovering some of their other more secretive and dastardly plots over the coming days.

Did you ever think, ChairmanHal, (what, never? har har har) that maybe this is a far greater C&G plot than you ever imagined? C&G nations are already choka-blok full of incoming reparations and in the interests of efficiency maybe this is the first attempt at 'staggering' reparations payments by ending certain fronts at more convenient times. I'm willing to put money on the fact that once the first alliances begin finishing their reparations and exiting terms that Gremlins will end the war and IRON will begin paying reparations. Now, I know some might say that as other alliances exit terms more pressure is put on Gremlins to end the war as their opponents mass, but these people are wrong and stupid.

[quote name='Lamuella' date='26 April 2010 - 01:59 PM' timestamp='1272254368' post='2275547'] the sad thing is, it's not the most ridiculous thing anyone's claimed we've done. At least you didn't say we broke the peace treaty written on every man's heart. [/quote] I knew I was missing something crucial! Must have flunked that lecture.

[quote name='nippy' date='26 April 2010 - 01:58 PM' timestamp='1272254283' post='2275545'] I spotted it. There was no way that was a real rant. The problem was that RV primed everyone else into defensive mode. [/quote] I preach the teachings of Rebel Virginia himself.. I am the apprentice that has surpassed the teacher. (Well done).

The moral of this story seems to be that no matter how ridiculously emotive and far-fetched someone is.. Without smileys, there is no sarcasm.

[quote name='Lamuella' date='26 April 2010 - 01:51 PM' timestamp='1272253900' post='2275521'] so if the 225 members of my alliance have the power to eliminate 15,000 world leaders in our year on this planet... 1) doesn't that make us the most powerful alliance of all time? 2) why didn't we take out Rebel Virginia? [/quote] You may be more powerful than most people fully understand, but for how long? 15,000 world leaders in a few years, 25,000 world leaders in a few more. Power is relative and when you are the only leaders left will you really be powerful? o/ Rebel Virginia

[quote name='Lamuella' date='26 April 2010 - 01:49 PM' timestamp='1272253747' post='2275508'] we are responsible for all fifteen thousand leaving? Oh my god.... THE POWER WE HAVE! [/quote] The fact that you find this amusing is disgusting. Are you a 1st generation GOON or one of the evil robots bred in an underground mega-factory? Must be the latter!

[quote name='Lamuella' date='26 April 2010 - 01:46 PM' timestamp='1272253600' post='2275497'] [OOC]We do almost all our recruiting from outside the game, and we are growing fast. Ergo, we are bringing more people into the game than any other alliance our size. This is one of the least informed "goons are bad" rants I've seen in a long time. Try harder[/ooc] [/quote] You breed politically minded leaders in some kind of evil, underground GOONs mega-factory. So what, are these evil leaders really helping the community? What of the 15,000 leaders you and your ilk have personally chased with flaming torches and slaughtered?

[quote name='QuotingTheCrow' date='26 April 2010 - 01:44 PM' timestamp='1272253434' post='2275489'] What are you talking about I entered politics because of GOONS. [/quote] I don't know you but I'll give you the benefit of the doubt because you managed proper sentence structure.. A lone tree springing up in the face of an avalanche. You are not 15,000 players.

[quote name='Lamuella' date='26 April 2010 - 01:37 PM' timestamp='1272253008' post='2275470'] what is this "game" you speak of? [/quote] The political game we are all a part of as leaders on this fair planet. Our numbers are dwindling BECAUSE OF YOU.

40,000 players used to play this game.. Thanks GOONs.

[quote name='amad123' date='24 April 2010 - 02:28 AM' timestamp='1272040111' post='2272090'] Oh now I think someone has opened a can of worms. So here we have the first instance of a nation providing aid to nations belonging to an alliance at war. Since the alliance at war is IRON you and/or the attacking nations assume that this is a perfectly acceptable action to take. Well before I suggest that all nations sending aid to Gramlins are open for attack lets wait a few days and see what develops. Unlike Gramlins, nations in DAWN and IRON are free to come and go as they please. So anyone assuming a nations that leaves IRON/DAWN is a deserter had better check with the alliance they joined and left. Attacking a suspected ghost who isn't a ghost may not be the brightest move, but then again one has to consider if these events are random or are they some sort of PR campaign. Only those that are invited into the back rooms are privy to what's really going on in CN. Ninety eight percent of the players are just pawns being played for the amusement of others. DAWN has no back room on our forums, all our members are treated equally and all know exactly what is happening. I look forward to an interesting potentially eventful weekend. [/quote] Are you really the brightest IRON has to offer?
