[quote name='checkers6676' date='09 July 2010 - 09:07 AM' timestamp='1278695256' post='2364915'] You are about 3 years too late for /b/ on CN mate. [/quote] Well we stuck it out for three months...

[quote name='bakamitai' date='08 July 2010 - 08:08 PM' timestamp='1278648475' post='2364296'] Look out, Londo. Next we'll be merging into you. I hope you like BBQ sauce with your babies. [/quote] Kansas City sweet, Southern Mop, Louisiana Hot, Tennessee Whiskey Sauce, or Dry Rub? [quote name='Sooner' date='08 July 2010 - 09:38 PM' timestamp='1278653905' post='2364451'] Oh I couldn't agree more. To the OP: So rather than post a story, you picked merger?!? into Athens?!? [/quote] They had been giving us lots of advice and helping out those of us who couldn't get our own tech deals. They were like big brother from day one [quote name='rsoxbronco1' date='08 July 2010 - 09:47 PM' timestamp='1278654451' post='2364462'] I guess nobody told him how terrible we are. [/quote] Nope, its all news to me... [quote name='Seth Muscarella' date='08 July 2010 - 10:01 PM' timestamp='1278655274' post='2364477'] /b/, if you adversely affect Athens, you'll have hell to pay. Fortunately i know that Londo knows what he's doing. After that, all I can say is welcome to the fold. :-) [/quote] Well I cant say for the rest of my former alliance, but I'll be a good little sheep...Baaa... Seriously though, I think we'll be fine. I hear theres still a good number of First Reich /b/ around here hidden away in different alliances. [quote name='Vasuda' date='08 July 2010 - 10:49 PM' timestamp='1278658155' post='2364526'] As if I wasn't already embarrassed to be allied to Athens, then they absorb /b/ into their ranks. [/quote] Welcome to the Thunderdome [quote name='Caliph' date='08 July 2010 - 11:57 PM' timestamp='1278662220' post='2364591'] Folding in such a situation doesn't really help. You should've stood tall, and stood your ground. There are several alliances who've faced such odds and have come out of such situations surviving. [/quote] We weren't big enough to stand out ground. We would have been stomped into day-1-like nations.

[quote name='Chief Savage Man' date='08 July 2010 - 05:56 PM' timestamp='1278640548' post='2364110'] Athens harbors 4chan scum Also I knew about this already since I was in the channel when it happened. Honestly good luck to you. [/quote] Have you ever sat down and spoken with Londo for any length? They dont harbor the scum, they are founded by the scum.

[quote name='Gerald Meane' date='08 July 2010 - 03:59 PM' timestamp='1278633557' post='2363955'] Don't make us merge into athens bro. [/quote] I dare ya

[quote name='Kzoppistan' date='08 July 2010 - 12:36 PM' timestamp='1278621348' post='2363787'] This just in: Athens sicks attack-dogs GOONS on unsuspecting [s]newbs[/s] micro-alliances in covert plan to bolster their numbers by way of strong-arm mergers, suspected tear splitting scheme in progress. Full Story At 11. [/quote] I [i]thought[/i] there was something suspicious about the timing and ease of it all, hmmm.... [quote name='shahenshah' date='08 July 2010 - 12:40 PM' timestamp='1278621630' post='2363789'] Im surprised that nobody said it so... "Match made in heavens" [/quote] Nobody said it because it's a given...

[quote name='nippy' date='08 July 2010 - 12:02 PM' timestamp='1278619309' post='2363744'] To be quite honest, you're not that bad for a /b/ member. You must see how you're just providing tears for our enjoyment by producing threads like this, however. You're putting a lot more effort into crying about how GOONS ruined your day by making you decide between eating a small slice of humble pie for our enjoyment or merging your alliance into another one. Every individual that has successfully completed our terms comes out of it with an entry on our 'do not attack' list, and most come out of there with a smile on their faces. All it takes is 5-10 minutes of creativity and a sense of humor. [/quote] Honestly I was just ribbing you guys. And I wouldn't say I am crying, I was more just mildly annoyed by the whole situation. But hey, by folding into Athens, I got 3 tech deals the same day. That was pretty sweet.

[quote name='Baldr' date='08 July 2010 - 11:41 AM' timestamp='1278618084' post='2363719'] You were dictator of a newbie micro-alliance that everyone hated. You were already a nobody. It's designed to be humilating, much like a school-yard bully beating up a smaller kid and making him say "I'm a monkey's uncle" or whatever. It's meaningless, except the bully gets off on it. [/quote] [quote name='ktarthan' date='08 July 2010 - 11:48 AM' timestamp='1278618505' post='2363727'] Don't forget, we take their lunch money first. [/quote] And people thought we were bad?

[quote name='Tigerdonia Redux' date='08 July 2010 - 11:25 AM' timestamp='1278617106' post='2363688'] Athens must be desperate for new blood. [/quote] Ha, calling us new blood is a stretch at best.

[quote name='ktarthan' date='08 July 2010 - 10:46 AM' timestamp='1278614744' post='2363642'] I agree. We should have demanded money and tech instead. Or maybe just installed a viceroy. Or better yet, simply continued to attack without any terms for peace. Damn us and our cruel terms. [/quote] Didn't say your terms were cruel, just I felt they were kind of humiliating. Admittedly, i could have handled the situation better.

[quote name='Londo Mollari' date='08 July 2010 - 10:34 AM' timestamp='1278614045' post='2363624'] This thread makes me feel somehow dirty inside. Oh the existential crises. Also, all of you are next. [/quote] You are dirty inside. And outside. Literally and metaphorically. All hail Londo Mollari, the consumer! (btw, does this mean you are like the borg? either consume or destroy something?)

[quote name='Captain Flinders' date='08 July 2010 - 09:06 AM' timestamp='1278608756' post='2363545'] I still don't get why people get so upset about GOONS wanting them to write short stories or draw funny pictures. You must not care about your alliance very much if you can't write a comedic short story to save its life. [/quote] [quote name='Sardonic' date='08 July 2010 - 09:24 AM' timestamp='1278609879' post='2363557'] Well, that's the problem with /b/, they can't generate any content. All they know how to do is take content from other groups, memefy it, and repeat the memes endlessly. Either way, have fun in Athens, /b/. [/quote] Its the whole being forced to generate a humorous short story at sword-point, you know? I have enough trouble with writers block under normal circumstances. That and I think its kind of humiliating, like being turned into their puppet :-/ dancing for their amusement.

[quote name='Anu Drake' date='08 July 2010 - 09:02 AM' timestamp='1278608523' post='2363542'] This is a thread I could never predict or even dreamt up. So many different ironies running in different directions... [/quote] Welcome to my life...

[quote name='Believland' date='08 July 2010 - 08:18 AM' timestamp='1278605907' post='2363512'] Then don't merge your alliance, heh [/quote] A) Too late. B) I think GOONS would be waiting like a hungry wolf to catch us unprotected.

[quote name='Believland' date='08 July 2010 - 08:06 AM' timestamp='1278605159' post='2363503'] You sound mad about this... [/quote] You think? I went from being a Dictator of an alliance to just a nobody...

[quote name='Choson' date='04 July 2010 - 06:05 PM' timestamp='1278295484' post='2359876'] I'm a lumberjack and I'm okay... I approve this post and I raid all day... [/quote] Yes you guys do raid. And damn it was annoying. /b/ had to fold into Athens because of it.

[quote name='TOLWYN' date='08 July 2010 - 07:21 AM' timestamp='1278602449' post='2363469'] but how could the goons do this. its unfair. [/quote] Oh the irony, it is palpable.

[quote name='D34th' date='08 July 2010 - 07:19 AM' timestamp='1278602331' post='2363466'] /b/ merged into Athens? Nice grouping. [/quote] Grouping?

So yeah, technically the /b/ alliance no longer exists (aside from the stragglers who never changed their alliance designation) But since we moved into Athens, you can think of us like a cult within Athens who still worship our old gods.

[quote name='Believland' date='08 July 2010 - 07:12 AM' timestamp='1278601938' post='2363460'] Londo, would you mind teaching me the secrets of absorbing alliances? Watch out for Rsox, he bites [/quote] Dont have to ask Londo, I'll tell you the secret myself from having to be absorbed. Befriend small, tenuous alliances that nobody likes. Then when they get raided and don't know what to do, don't fight on their behalf, offer them to join you and fall in line.

Eh, it was that, try to survive the war until GOONS got bored with bombing us, or write some silly story and post it on their forum. They basically wanted us to disappear or be humiliated.

A few months ago I posted a deceleration of existence of the new /b/. Things were bumpy to say the least. Our alliance was dropping and gaining members at equal rates, and stayed around just below 20 nations. Then things smoothed out and aside from the occasional tech-raid on a member of the alliance by rogue, unaligned nations, it was business as usual; tech deals, trade circles, peace treaties. Well as of about two weeks ago, a number of GOONS alliance nations decided to start swarming and ganging up on most of /b/. We didn't have any official protectorate in place. I made some unsanctioned statements, and in the end to avoid being ground to dust, I set up a deal and folded all the members of my alliance into Athens, and we now all follow Londo. Just thought I would inform anyone interested who was not already aware.

[quote name='Sandwich Controversy' date='24 June 2010 - 08:20 PM' timestamp='1277439593' post='2349661'] Holy god, I can't think of an alliance I could possibly want obliterated more. Congratulations on this achievement. [/quote] Off topic of the whole thread, but I just had to respond to you. I have three very simple characters, only one of which is a letter, that is a recently ressurected alliance that might win out over omglgppp as more want of obliteration: /b/ Which I am overlord of :3

[quote name='Hiro Nakara' date='01 May 2010 - 05:25 AM' timestamp='1272720290' post='2282602'] I look forward to seeing you prosper, please do it right and handle the things you need to. Forums, mIRC channel, DoE, chat with VE, charter. if oyu need a hand with anything ask away I'm sure there are a few here that wouldn't mind in helping you. [/quote] Suppose it is as good a time as any to say so. I have spoken with Il Impero and VE is holding a vote on how they want to procede. I am considering updating the charter of the First /b/ as our new charter, though I could use a hand on it... Less than 2 dozen nations in the Alliance, half of that being active, so we are holding meetings in our Embassy in Athens.
