o/ LoSS It feels good to blast some pixels.

By my count, DDolla can nuke you in 24 minutes.

[quote name='Krunk the Great' timestamp='1295224420' post='2577890'] It is considered poor form to use alliance sanctions as a weapon in war when you can't beat me down by any other means. [/quote] The day when Krunk the Great is the arbiter of "poor form" is the day when hell will freeze over. On that note, best of luck. You'll need it. If you're really lucky, you'll have dropped out of my range by the time your wars expire.

Wouldn't diving for peace mode at the end of these wars defeat the purpose of a "death march"? Many thanks to our amigos in CSN for the well-timed sanction.

Don't worry about it, Krunk, I'm paying off SCY for a shot at you.

Krunk, I remember the last time you joined New Samurai Order. Ben and I joined too, and we were all too glad to coup you. The only thing about these shenanigans that makes me absolutely furious is that NOBODY LEFT ME A SLOT AAAAAAGGGGHHHHHHH

[quote name='Mathias' timestamp='1294018744' post='2561323'] [font="Georgia"]Why you would insult Alekhine like this is beyond me.[/font] [/quote] Many fabled names have passed through the gates of LoSS - Timeline and Krunk are among them.

After a very exciting election, we are ready to announce the LOSS gov for this term: [b][color="#0000FF"]LoSS triumvirate: Co God Ben, Junior, and Desert Ratz[/color][/b] [color="#9932CC"][b]LoSS Senate: Asmodeus, Slade, Ddolla, Neuronia, and Moufassa[/b][/color] The triumvirate has also chosen an all-star list of ministers. They are as follows: [b][color="#FFBB65"]MoFA - Chels aka DWtheGreat[/color] [color="#FF0000"]MoIA - Phoebus aka Krunk the Great[/color] [color="#FF8C00"]MoEd - Demag[/color] [color="#00BFFF"]MoF - Alekhine aka Timeline[/color] [color="#006400"]MoD - Legion-X[/color][/b] Given Slade's decision to take a more passive role in government, we had an open position in the finance department. Timeline will be taking his place, and we expect stellar things from him. Also, long-time MoD Rol20kid has come to the tough decision to focus more on real life. We thank Rol20k and wish him luck with the red-head [b](gingers can be attractive)[/b] he met at the bus stop the other day and has a date with. LoSS' longest consecutive executive and former MoD Legion-x has agreed to take over the backbone of the alliance. We see the military's upward trend of coordination and communication continuing through this term. Also, we have decided to change it up a bit and choose a Praetor for our Senate. We could have let the Senators decide; we could have let the Trium decide; we could have even let our members decide. But we decided to make it exciting and leave it up to the great unwashed Open World Forum to elect one of our senators to this mostly ceremonial position. Your candidates are: [b]Neuronia[/b] - LoSS' top troll, perhaps even Cybernation's #1 troll '06-'07, 1 FANroll to his name [b]Slade[/b] - master of tech and minister of the ladies [b]DDolla[/b] - indignant about gender descriptors, insisted that she not be described simply as "woman" [b]Asmodeus[/b] - supports gay marriage [b]Moufassa[/b] - Lion King, and a FUCN castaway Vote early, often, and publicly!

I wish you the best of luck. Having spent more time than I'd like on the pink team, I know you may need it.

Hey, I remember you! Enjoy real life for whatever it's worth.

o/ LoSS I can't believe I haven't gotten the entire alliance ZIed yet. Cheers!

Bad show, LoSS gov't- should've asked for 2000 soldiers!

[quote name='La Hire' date='11 February 2010 - 04:35 AM' timestamp='1265862906' post='2173910'] The diplomatic means of communication was through CN messages, which is still an acceptable form of alliance communication. The main topic at hand however, is that LoSS -even now, after acknowledging this issue- has not made effort to bring an end to the unprovoked attack. You could have informed us that this was the case, from which point we could still mediate a solution to the problem. [/quote] Alas! If only the CN messaging system was the right way to do things; I wouldn't have to remember so many passwords. Unfortunately, it's not- the best alliance leaders are generally not inclined to nation activity. See, for example, Ivan Moldavi of Pierconium- founder of three powerful alliances. We alliance leaders have other concerns. As such, it's better to use forum/IRC communication. I really do hope that this has been an object lesson in properly executing inter-alliance discussions. More global wars have been averted by a bit of polite effort on IRC than by any threats. -ThePresident of Neuronia

Dear European Union, Your actions indicate to me that you are new to alliance politics. That's OK; everybody makes a diplomatic mistake every now or then. People won't remember this bit of silliness for more than 24 hours. To avoid future faux pas like this one, I suggest that you study up on diplomatic protocol. Consider this situation. A more appropriate step toward resolution would have been: [b]A. Registering a diplomatic account on the LoSS Forums (http://www.cn-loss.net)[/b] This action officially opens diplomatic channels. It's much more efficient than complaining on the Open World Forum because you can actually speak directly to the people with whom you have a grievance. On the Open World Forum, you're talking to anyone who cares to hear you. On an issue like this, there aren't many of those "anyones". [b]B. Finding a LoSS government official on IRC[/b] The LoSS IRC channel is located at #loss on the Coldfront IRC server. This is the easiest and quickest way of doing things. Come on in and say "May I speak with a LoSS government official?" Someone of the appropriate rank will be right along to address your complaint. I was sorry to discover that this issue had been blown out of proportion. I wish you the very best of luck in your future political dealings. -ThePresident of Neuronia

Three cheers for our allies in KoTC!

[quote name='JWConner' date='06 February 2010 - 07:04 AM' timestamp='1265439862' post='2163760'] Right. Im sure Polar declaring on TOP had nothing to do with it. YAY bandwagonning!! [/quote] Indeed, it didn't have anything to do with it- we declared a full 7 minutes (actually more like 5 or 6 taking into account the edit) before the NpO (unexpectedly) did.

[quote name='KagetheSecond' date='06 February 2010 - 06:48 AM' timestamp='1265438939' post='2163669'] Yeah.. That's completely necessary. [/quote] When our pals in Nemesis say "Jump!", we say "How high?" After all, they'd do the same for us.

And off we go.

[center][img]http://i190.photobucket.com/albums/z300/LOSSPanther/LOSSFlag.png[/img][/center] In accordance with our treaty with the HeroesOfGaming, we declare war on Veritas Aequitas. The word of the Lord. -LoSS Gov EDIT: Hey, we're declaring on TOP, too, on account of our treaty with Nemesis.

I support this war because I've never been nuked, and I found a nuclear TOOL in my range. Never a better time than the present, eh?

One can only believe what one's told.

When white peace is declared, technically nobody wins. However, I think I'm quoting Kodiak, a government official in the 57th Overlanders, exactly when I say "We intend to ZI Browncoats." That objective has not been achieved. On the other hand, the defenders of Browncoats were called in by protectorates and defense pacts. If Browncoats' total NS difference between a few days ago and today is any indication, their defenders have succeeded in "protecting" (protectorate agreement) and "defending" (MDP, ODP, etc.) them. So who won? As I said before, white peace means nobody "won", but rather everyone decided to stop fighting. However, only one side achieved their stated objectives.

FINAL STATISTICS Browncoats' Defenders League of Small Superpowers: 0 Anarchies, +6523 NS Nemesis: 0 Anarchies, +2028 NS Browncoats: 4 Anarchies, +29827 NS Cult of Justitia: 0 Anarchies, +7444 NS The 57th Overlanders 57th Overlanders: 10 Anarchies, -42269 NS

Please, please declare on me

The entire black sphere is cooler than you. Plus, our treaties mean something.
