[quote name='dogbite' timestamp='1357458668' post='3071966'] The top end of hellas has junped and left the lower ranks to fight. Some leaders you got over there. You guys ever want to be in aliance that give a dam about there members you should move. [/quote] Comrade, Hellas soldier is born to die, especially if in lower tier. Now drink more vodka, and watch how we smash little snakies...

[quote name='TigerBaby' timestamp='1356782557' post='3069086'] You're losing touch with reality if you truly think you can convince anyone that what you have done is anything but as low and cowardly a blow as I have seen in this game. I'm confident not TPC nor anyone else will forget how low helias have sunk with this and it leaves you no avenue of complaint no matter what happens to you in future. [/quote] TPC, like Hellas, is a classy alliance filled with experienced quality players. Hitting an alliance like TPC early in a round is always risky; make too many mistakes and things go very badly. TPC knows how the game is played and they do it well. You should have seen the WCs some of them were holding - we hit at exactly the right time. If they had been able to build them up a few more days, it would have been a repeat of last round!

I built my nation by being a reliable 3/50 tech seller and now you can too! If you have been around CN for a while and have a reliable track record as a tech seller, then let me help you build your nation faster!

Truly an Epic DOW! One of the best in the history of TE. TPC vs. TE - Friggin' Awesome!

[quote name='Chess Tyrant' timestamp='1349845096' post='3039338'] Our pleasure. And since nobody's posted this yet, as far as I'm aware, all participants have agreed to peace at the coming update. [/quote] That was a fun war, even though I got my @$$ handed to me this time!

Rocking with the Cult! Have fun! Burn some pixels!

Cheers! Here's to another fun round!

[quote name='arcticllama' timestamp='1342498416' post='3011037'] so I got attacked and then went fishing.. Who would want radioactive fish??? [/quote] [img]http://nomihodai.org/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/Blinky.jpg[/img] Plus, how can you cook a fish that has already been nuked and is still swimming? It could make a good mascot for a future alliance, though...

[quote name='Overlord Wes' timestamp='1342325297' post='3010375'] I usually do not purchase nukes until around mid-round, both because of the loss of income and because I usually don't get top5%/MP until around that time. Even without nukes, I gladly declare war on nuclear nations fully expecting to be nuked. Why? Because it's a challenge to fight against someone with superior firepower. It's also a nice ego-boost if you can beat them even at such a disadvantage [/quote] Ha! We all know you do that just so you can increase your casualty count!

[quote name='Triyun' timestamp='1341524070' post='3004144'] Power abhors a vacuum. Hegemony is inevitable and it takes the form of the preferences of the victors. These are unbreakable laws. [/quote] So will the next hegemony be the Neutral Hegemony? Looks like they are going to be the ones that come out on top. Has there ever been a neutral hegemony before? Does that even make any sense?

[quote name='paul711' timestamp='1338649322' post='2976117'] you sir are a blasphemer [/quote] Most Excellent! Haven't been called that in a while! Reminds me of my days with the Sisters of the Perpetual Resentment, tough bunch, those!

[quote name='Overlord Wes' timestamp='1338616730' post='2976037'] Make the game fun. Rebel against the police. [/quote] I agree, screw the moral police! Yeah, it sucks being on the business end of a nuke when you're getting curb-stomped, but WTF, this world ends in 2 more weeks anyway! Nothing anyone can do will prevent that! Pixel farmers, wake up! Back in round 13 I started the Invisible Committee against "unjust raiding." No need to go on a moral campaign, just quietly organized things behind the scenes and then "bamm". I think it was a success because it really PO'd a lot of people and I had a good time (as did other members of the IC). Maybe next round I will form another Invisible Committee, with the purpose to bring back "unjust raiding" or something of that nature! Viva la Revolution!

[quote name='King James XVIII' timestamp='1335070653' post='2956976'] This war is no different than it was when the decision was made to not use nukes. CoS has no nukes and no effort was made to take any nukes in your alliance as a preemptive measure. There has been no widespread effort to provide any material assistance during the war. TPC has no interest in interfering with our training alliance getting war experience or your guys engaging in war. But let there be no mistake, The Phoenix Cobras reserve the right to, and will defend our fellow members if this or any other war is unnecessarily unbalanced. [/quote] Oh man, just when things were about to get completely ridiculous, out of control, and doing what we do best around here in TE(overreacting), here comes the voice of reason. Meh!

Cheers! Way to get this round started!

[quote name='HDSupreme' timestamp='1289859574' post='2513800'] [size="4"][color="#ff0000"]JUST RECENTLY we got to meet a bunch of new, unexpected "friends" as a result of one of our most non-anticipated victories of all ,here at CN:TE...King James XVIII,and its sibilant kingdom of TPC serps, with its number of stars, among them : Bibliotech... Burning Glory... North Empire,KJ himself,etc... as participants for the then wrong side of the hot issue about wrongful(abusive, unchecked...) tech raid And, for the right side of it Mother and Daughter Cake store...Regime 6.. The conservative Under Ground ... our own The Cult of Skaro and some other independent nations. All alliances not 1/5 TPC's size! Anyhow, the anti-TPC warriors got the upper hand on this early Tournament war action,getting from The ..Cobras...K.James's promises of manhandle that disgusting habit of tech plucking a little defenseless nation...Hope, the other powerful Alliances follow thorough and imitate King James' path. [/color][/size] [/quote] Oh man, those were Epic Times in TE! I can't believe it has been over a year since I have played TE! Time to let the good times roll again! Burn baby burn!
