Our thoughts and prayers go out for your friend, and we hope is is comfortable at the moment (or as comfortable as you can be in his situation). I knew someone with the same situation as he, and it was a very trying time for all of us. But i'm curious, was it hard to take this private letter and share it with us? I'd have needed courage to do that.

Good news all around. o/ STA

Yes. Yes I like this Idea. He could create [i][b]Pox Vopouli[/b][/i], and lead the revolution against Karma. I'm sure it would work.

Ahhh...but if I did that my friend, where would the fun be in this game? You forget that those "actions" are the ones that take us to war, and in this backwards universe war=fun. I guarantee if someone had stopped the Continuum in its tracks, the world would be very different, and far less entertaining. My posts aren't attempting to take a side so much as they are to show that both sides are in the wrong. But in the end, there isn't any fun in this game without crisis. EDIT: also, MY alliance, as you put it, hasn't done anything. You have a problem with the current situation, take it up with the SuperFriends. They are a sovereign entity who rule themselves. I'll say it many times again, although our goals are similar, we AREN'T ONE ENTITY.

What you think Karma is going to let the NPO walk away after being the greatest tyrannical force in all of cn history? I think not! EDIT: And lest you forget, the ideals of Karma were not peace and love and sunshine, they were justice prevailing over tyranny. Those terms were the Justice. You ex hegemony types seem to forget that all actions have consequences, and the Hegemony was long over due for a consequence. And remember this, because if you think that this isn't the case in ALL aspects of life, you have another thing coming.

Its interesting you should bring up the ideals of Karma, Vlad because last time I checked the people in power now don't make any illusion that they ARE Karma. King Archon has repeatedly told you that C&G/SF (while they are the ones that are in control) are NOT karma. Karma is a dead coalition. We are the ones who rose to power as a result. Yes, we attempt to follow the tenants of what Karma stood for, but we have haven't failed Karma because we aren't them. We are an entirely different and new entity.

The point that should be made Hero, is that both groups have committed similar "crimes", and therefore one group shouldn't have the power to call out the other, because likely they have done/will do something akin to it. My problem with this thread is not that it is an attack on the "new hegemony" but rather that the attacker seems to forget that his very alliance partook in these actions, and therefore is putting up a double standard. I think that if people took a closer look at the history of their own alliance, they may be able to understand how calling another alliance out on similar actions is hypocritical. This goes for BOTH karma alliances and former Q alliances.

Now this man above me has some sense. You don't just get to forget what you did. Its like robbing a bank one day, and then teaching children about how robbing banks is bad the next.. When the NPO has made up for EVERY crime they committed (of their of volition, not some surrender term garbage), then I will listen to this filth. Until then, this entire blog is a poor excuse to inflate your own egos, and shouldn't be tolerated.

You may very well be right, and yes Karma turned out to be more of the same. HOWEVER that doesn't excuse the hypocrisy that you and your friend vlad preach by calling people out on things you once supported. As I said, the pot calling the kettle black. EDIT: And by going off on this tangent, you yourself are refusing to focus on the page issue, which happens to be stated in my above sentence. My point in the post you quoted me on was not to talk about the continuum, but to show that the only defense your "side" has had for the longest time is a "no u" mentality. You guys have done a one 180 from believing something and now are not believing it just to call us out. If you want me to be perfectly honest, what gives you the right to do curb stomp and then not let us do ours?

Yes, you absolutely right, this article has NOTHING to do with the Continuum. And frankly, I was perfectly content staying on this subject Cortath. But your subservent couldn't contain himself at all without bringing up Karma, so I gave him what he wanted. If he is going to bring up Karma, expect a response. Hmm, where else have we heard a line about cause and effect like this in recent months...? EDIT: Maybe next time, he will stay on topic, eh?

Well if you are going to bring up Karma, I should then add that the Continuum has perpetrated far worse crimes then demanding a beer review after its curbstomps. It seems like your the pot calling the kettle black. Also to my original point, I didn't say I supported this conflict. However, in this post Vlad said that the conflict is black and white, where one person (NSO) is good and the other (RoK) is bad. The choice I referred to was him calling the NSO defenseless and alone, were them being alone was as choice made by the government of NSO. This conflict is many shades of grey, and saying otherwise is foolish. EDIT: Typo

Two things. First, Virginia you said yourself that writing this review was going to be enjoyable. Frankly, I would rather be forced to write a beer review then pay money or tech reps. Second, this wouldn't BE a curbstomp if NSO called in allies, so saying that the NSO was helpless to defend itself is bull. They chose to keep their allies from intervening. That is a point that critics of this war keep "conveniently forgetting".

[quote name='RePePe' timestamp='1282838431' post='2431780'] I apologize to the rest of Bob. Making this announcement was a mere SNAFU. [/quote] I gotta tell you, that was pretty [i]punny.[/i]

Also remember that people stop playing a lot during the summer months, due to travel or work or other commitments. Usually it picks up again in September or October.

Congratz on the new government, and of course on the [b]shiny[/b] new forums! I've always said white looks good on Pirates... Also anyone with a name that reminds you of a viscous bird of prey and the number 11 is bound to be bad for your alliance.

[quote name='Xiphosis' timestamp='1282626482' post='2428845'] I'm sure NSO will handle this with the grace of a dignified and classy alliance. [/quote] Im sure they will. EDIT: congratz to all involved on a quick and civil solution.

[quote name='Il Impero Romano' timestamp='1282281862' post='2424085'] Oh wow man, interdepartmental burn. [/quote] well that WAS somewhat of a silly remark. I mean the whole thread is about him. Either way, nuke him till he glows VE.

Disbanded twice if I'm not mistaken. But that just means this one is ten times better! o/ RoK! o/ FIRE!

here here!

I was referring to when they accepted him into the alliance. Their policy of letting people at war into their ranks may be their trademark, but look where it got them.

Wait have either \m/ or STA actually declared on the other?
