When I read their AA it says Random Insanity Alliance. How strange

Leave the posting to Delta, you're not good at it. -

And it warms our hearts to see you constantly whine about it.

If you wanna sit in peace mode and refuse to fight go right ahead, we'll sit in war mode making more money and growing faster. I'd be surprised if peace is offered until the war has actually been faught. So go right ahead and sit in peace mode for months on end while your enemy grows more than you. It's the strategy FAN used and it took years for them to get peace. If you're content sitting for that long and losing go right ahead. Wouldn't it make more sense to fight the war, lose the war, and then try to win the next?
Whatever, if you want to commit to a losing strategy have a blast. -

I don't think it's the use of peace mode in and of itself that is criticised, more to do with the apparent rationale behind its use. The appearance that the Hopeless Coalitions upper teir is hoping that if they ignore the war long enough it'll sort itself out isn't particularly flattering.

Dude you totally don't get it. They're [i]totally[/i] going to come out of peace mode eventually, I mean they're just waiting for the right time. Just cause that time hasn't came in a month doesn't mean it won't. They [i]totally[/i] mean to fight. Just later. Maybe. -

Oh, I can already foresee the inevitable plot...
DT steals me away, thus making me Helen of Troy. They whisk me away and bring me to their beautiful cities while CSN goes lolmad, has Xiphosis become Agamemnon and invade DT. All the while RIA dances happily around a camp fire singing "Rock-a-by-Baby". Oh yea, Fark will be there too... they'll be the drunks in the Greek/Trojan-equivalent of bars/mead halls/whatever those people called them. As for the Trojan Horse... that can be Sarm (since he is sporting Achilles as his avatar) and he will run around throwing Chicken Parmesan (since parm rhymes with Sarm) at everyone.
[OOC: We just learned a bunch of needless garbage about the mythology of the Trojan War in my classical philosophies class. I felt I needed to air it out or else I'd explode from its uselessness, albeit being quite interesting.]
[/quote]{ooc} Are you really complaing about learning needless garbage in a classical philosophies class?[/ooc] -
You people realize that this is an OOC forum right? Don't you see the difference between someone ghosting someone to attack someone else in-game(IC) and complaining about people ghosting in order to trick the game into thinking you meet the requirements for sanction (ooc)

Actually I didn't need to login
In all seriousness...who cares? I make terrible looking propaganda. At least it isn't a bunch of cartoon ships with Polar flag on them.

That would have been better. -

I hope for your sake your side doesnt lose this one GOONS. The loss of all that aid you are expecting after the war to rebuild would be a crushing blow as would becoming a tech farm for the next year.
[/quote]
Because our side is looking at all like it's going to lose? -

This might have something to do with it. At the moment, Legion has a total of 466,177.325 ns in war mode by my math, for a total of 6.5% of their total ns.

[quote name='Doitzel' timestamp='1298318394' post='2640856']
Who said anything about forceful disbandment? As I recall it was the first GOONS that pushed insistently that militarily forcing an alliance to disband was impossible, that it was always a choice. I simply meant that they deserved to be held to their own standards. It's that golden rule your mother always told you about.
[/quote]
So say Polar is never offered terms in this war, you're saying that it's ok and you wouldn't complain? I really doubt that. -
[quote name='Earogema' timestamp='1298271927' post='2640385']
Right, because YOU WORKED WITH THEM. The could have cancelled on you right then and there if they they really wanted to. In addition how is mass suiciding an alliance not abandoning diplomacy? Seems the two go hand in hand imo.
I don't see how anything you said refuted anything I said at all.
[/quote]
You forgot the 6 months after the Unjust War where GOONS didn't abandon diplomacy. -

My personal favorite among those is 'Did you poop today?'
I mean....who in the hell would ask that question?

I could easily see that being the title for medical help on constipation/advice on dealing with constipation. -

I wasn't gonna out cj but yes this is what I was referring to. It happened in early 2008 right before noWedge was removed. The female involved joined the call and talked to us at one point despite not knowing any of us.
[/quote]
I can't get my head around this. Not only did someone stop having sex for CN, but told the other person about why they were not having sex and then got her to talk to some other people that play this game?
I can only imagine the talk "Not now baby, I gotta go play a nation simulator. I lead 100 nations, I'm kind of a big deal"
You people are lying right? Please tell me this didn't actually happen. -

Wait until after the war before beginning your revisionism.

Yeah, thanks for proving my point. Are you retarded? The quote from Sardonic is what I said. -
[quote name='D34th' timestamp='1297406487' post='2629053']
Well TOP used to support this kind of behavior so...

So did Polar. -
[quote name='Haflinger' timestamp='1297428590' post='2629280']
We're not.
The reason the thread got so big is because earlier on GOONS posted a thread that amounted to them claiming you were going to counter anyone who hit them, which we all know was a pile of horse!@#$ now as you're not allied to them.
[/quote]
That's not what GOONS was saying. GOONS was pointing out the retardedness of trying to play the e-laywer game to keep TOP out and that [i]if[/i] they wanted to come in, they would. We did not say that they would come in. Get it? -
[quote name='D34th' timestamp='1297294389' post='2627371']
I already stated my opinion about those who criticize propaganda.
[/quote]
There is a difference between arguing with propaganda (which is retarded) and criticizing the way propaganda is made. Criticism can help, but I'm guessing you'll just give a 'no u' response to this. -
[quote name='Rebel Virginia' timestamp='1297315385' post='2627717']
[color="#0000FF"]These things don't happen overnight. MK wasn't the only alliance making mistakes. NPO sat on its hands and NpO let it stunt blues run amok. Considering those two will be dealt with once this war is over, who does that leave yet? Note that usually after a few global wars whoever is in power usually falls out. MK has maybe a year on top left.[/color]
[/quote]
When has it ever happened that the alliance in power falls out of it? Karma? One time in 5 years?
Who is going to be the ones dealing with MK? The Orders are being crushed. -
[quote name='Viridia' timestamp='1297221936' post='2626523']
I feel like this poll is too early. There was isn't over and more can happen.
It doesn't matter how much people want to call this Great War IV, as there has already been a Great War IV, V, and VI. They need to get over the fact that they've only been here for a year and have missed four years of CN history.
Also, CN Holocaust really should be avoided for OOC reasons, but that's more of a personal opinion.
[/quote]
Just because a war is big doesn't automatically give it a Great War number. Great War I, II and III were simply the names given to the conflicts, there was no Great War IV. Just because a few people try to call the Unjust War GWIV doesn't make Great War IV the name. -

[color="#0000FF"]Victory in the long run is a matter of who wins, and keeps, public favor. That little stunt of yours a few month ago, in addition to a few more current endeavors of yours are sure to change quite a few minds in regards to MK.[/color]

If only it hadn't been for that PR disaster! If that hadn't happend MK would probably have lots of allies and be winning the current war. Sadly that was not to be -

Hurrah! I've always wanted to be an "excellant" Pacifican! Being a normal one just wasn't cutting it anymore
Also, spin is quite different then simple facts.
Thanks, come again.
[/quote]
Ever single war people try to spin this argument. If NPO was on the other side you'd be saying it was defensive because your allies were hit. Where someone stands in this argument has nothing to do with simple facts, it has everything to do with that alliances current political position. -
[quote name='Weirdgus' timestamp='1297127414' post='2624817']
Pronunciation:/dɪˈfɛns/
1 [mass noun] the action of defending from or resisting attack:methods of defence against this kind of attack
[i]she came to the defence of the eccentric professor[/i]
MK attacks TPF. TPF's allies defend TPF against MK.TOP is allied with MK. TOP attacks some of TPF's allies, thus making an aggressive assault themselves.

The spin is strong in this one. You'll make an excellant Pacifican. -

Well done for putting words in my mouth, I never said TOP shouldn'tattack us, we attacked MK, it's to be expected, I'm merely pointing out the complete change about they've achieved in the last 12 months and the absurdities of it, I do hope they're happy with what they're doing cause I sure wouldn't be.

I believe we rolled MK from 2007-09-09 till 2007-10-18, Thats about a month and 9 days. As well as many other wars we fought for a very long time, Silly GOONS and their lack of calculators

Oh sorry, I forgot that you liked to jump in on beatdowns. The military of MCXA holds no bounds! -

Wow, you really are a bunch of rats aren't you...
[/quote]
You heard it here first folks. TOP should have helped alliances that fought on the same side as them rather than their allies! Bunch of rats not helping people that they have no obligation to help. Won't even declare war on PB to help NpO. For shame.
