    We've rendered treaties useless on two, almost competing levels. On the one hand, we treat treaties like Facebook friends, where every casual acquaintance in CN merits a MDP. On the other hand, we manipulate treaties to the point where between ghost declarations and 3 and 4 step chains, any alliance can essentially come i against any other alliance.

    One of the things that has vanished as the CN community, along with its attention span, has shrunk are the notion that there are some generally accepted standards we all play by. That DBDC can do what it does is evidence of that. Because at the end of the day, most of us are basically sleepwalking through this thing. Who really cares, on a macro level at least, who does what to whom around here anymore?

    Indeed, the notion that you needed an actual real live CB to start a global war hasn't been true for a long time now. The truth of the matter is that people around here quit playing CN with the notion of it being as much a political sim as a war sim ages ago. The facebookization of CN, combined with stagnant gameplay, the evolution of web based gaming, and a declining playerbase all combined to produced the shambles of a game we play today. We don't use CBs for the simple reason that most people just don't care that much about what goes on in CN.

    I suppose you have to be good at something.

    Congratulations on yet another witty one liner here on the OWF. I hope that cutting wit serves you well as your pixles get demolished.

    I daresay it might have really benefited MI6 to do just a tinsy bit less of the latter and a fair share more of the former.

    I hope you burn them to the ground VE.

    Is this the part where you change how things are done around here? Good luck with that.

    GG I guess?

    I was here for most of karma, but I think BiPolar was the first one I fought in. That was fun too, being like a 15k NS nation in a top heavy alliance like Argent meant updeclaring for days. In terms of actual OOC fun, I think BiPolar is still my favorite war.

    I guess it's a real war now that you lot showed up.

    Okay, and? Why exactly are we opposed to alliances doing whatever they can to win at a minimum cost to themselves? They don't exactly hand out trophies for Pyrrhic victories.

    If you have allies on opposite sides of a coalition, that's a problem. It is also often a problem of your own making.

    At a certain point you have to be willing to tell your allies that you can't refrain from picking a side just to preserve their allies, so GG to you there.

    I tend to agree. What's the value of a treaty you can't or wont activate?
  16. trimm
    I think it can best be summed up as thus: That some of my allies are friends does not mean that all of my friends must be allies.

    Treaties are political tools, first and foremost. I've been beating this drum for what seems like an eternity now, but this is not a friendship simulator. If you want one of those, go hop on facebook and play some words with friends. CN is a game of war and politics, and the people who actually engage in the kind of treaty maneuvering that you describe are the people who actually tend to win at the game.

    Who said anything about argent? I thought we were talking about rolling lowsten.

    I can think of quite a few higher things up the list than going to war without a solid CB, since we've been doing that to each other at least as far back as DH/NPO and Dave.

    Now this is a position I can get behind.

    Not to put words in Rush's mouth (he has plenty of them without my help), but I think he was more pointing out the silliness of that argument coming from that particular source. And he would be correct, because it was plenty silly coming from that source.

    Sheesh, I actually have to work? Barnacles. NADC your doom has arrived yadda yadd etc.

    Not sure if there is too much or not enough iamthey here.

    You may not have done the best at it, but you did give it your best shot Yuurei. Good luck.
  25. trimm
    Well, that is certainly an interesting lineup to say the least.
