  1. [quote name='TonytheTiger' date='16 July 2010 - 03:27 PM' timestamp='1279315612' post='2375003'] I just happen to realize the bad blood and history for what it is, drama that helped drive the game. The trick to being able to address the past in a productive manner and moving forward is realization of common goals and purpose. In this case a more balanced game and TI resurrection. So, instead of crying about your alliance getting rolled 3 years ago and holding a grudge about it, you learn to move past that for the sake of seeing the greatest block ever rise from the ashes. Enough great alliances joined WUT in '07 that even if half of them signed again it would be a solid block. [/quote] You probably weren't there if you think any of us would get back together
  2. [quote name='Vladimir' date='15 June 2010 - 09:07 PM' timestamp='1276657644' post='2339003'] We used to have this debate on a weekly basis, with people imagining that a score reset would somehow magically return us to the naive days of January 2006. Fact is that things have advanced a lot since then -- technically, politically, strategically, socially -- and these advances will remain. Consequently you would see large alliances and blocs forming immediately, complete with complex organisational and diplomatic structures, and moving to dominate the new terrain. The only real effect would be to split the player base, thus reducing it in size and intensity, and weakening the gameplay as a result. To put a more empirical spin on it, we have seen a number of suspiciously similar universes spring up over the years, and we have seen hundreds flock in excitement to explore them. We have also found that this excitement quickly dissipates as the new utopia implodes and everyone returns. The grass on the other side has long been dead. [/quote] I disagree on your view of these other worlds. Many of them had intersting, unique and quick-paced politics and gameplay. While the communities may not have lasted for those involved it was a fresh experience, long gone from the monotony that seems to sometimes sweep CN.

They certainly didn't tear themselves apart as soon as there was no external threat like the Continuum did. [/quote] The Initiative was the only group to ever truly dominate the CN World. That was its sole and only purpose: win CyberNations. And it pretty much did. Continuum may have been bigger but it was never as truly dominant, it was always more susceptible.
  4. And we were definitely the villains. And new it. I liked that. Evil won in those days and we didn't give a !@#$.
  5. [quote name='Ardus' date='05 July 2010 - 06:41 PM' timestamp='1278376888' post='2360604'] The triumphs. The betrayals. The intrigues. The caliber of people set against each other in balance. Certainly was an era. [/quote] Ardus! I was in the Viridian Entente, nice to see you around. The quality of players then seem to have been a lot better than now.
  6. [quote name='Xiphosis' date='05 July 2010 - 05:48 PM' timestamp='1278373702' post='2360569'] I would give my left arm to have that period in time back. The way the community/politics have developed since WUT's fall absolutely disgusts me. [/quote] I left the game shortly after the Unjust War but wasn't really active up until then. After rolling over FAN I lost a lot of interest.
  7. After being out of the game for a long time I'd just like to see if there were any former Initiative soldiers around that would like to say a word on our great group. We had fun while it lasted, dominated the world, destroyed all in our path and raised hell. Great War II and Great War III were some of the best times in this game and I don't truly know if anyone has been so completely and utterly dominant before or after. I am glad to have been a part of it and to have beaten down my fair share of League nations and Aegis nations, so for anyone else that happens to have been there, come by and share your favorite memories.
