    So the final straw has broken the camel's back in my eyes... the US government cannot get anymore corrupted then it is with a scumbag president who spews !@#$%^&* about threatening to veto the bill, and then withdrawing all threats... needless to say I am pissed. What are your thoughts on this bill that collectively takes a !@#$ on the bill of rights. Sections 1031, 1032 and 1034 allows for the indefinite detention of U.S. citizens... Citizens of the United States are statutorily excluded only from the "requirement for military custody" in Section 1032, which provides the executive branch discretion whether to indefinitely detain U.S. citizens within military detention centers, or alternatively in the Federal prison system. Thoughts??

    I've always wondered about the "protected" status alliances offer to POW's. I do not think very highly of people surrendering, as to me, it seems they are deserting their alliance for their infra. Infra can be re bought, it takes a lot of effort to patch up a trust for someone, and sometimes not at all. What this all leads up to is that, you can't really "guarantee" immunity to those that surrendered, as their own alliance members may end up attacking them for desertion, subsequently the former alliance member attacking the POW will be attacked by the same alliance they are already at war against. It's a cycle that makes no sense to me.
    Thoughts?

    Sometimes if I'm browsing the forums and nothing really catches my eyes, I look at ban appeals just for the hell of it, to see why people were banned, and if they are given a chance to reedeem themselves. I have found that many of the bans were for trivial things, or even emotionally driven during times of war where tempers are flaring, and tension is devastating. I have also found that many of the bans were for multi's (and in most cases the appeal is denied rightfully so) but some of the multi's are just newbies (who seem to be more active then the frequent, create and leave newbies, considering they are appealing) that simply, out of force of habit from other annoyingly long ToS's did not read the rules, and therefore rerolled multiple times to get a good resource set. With all of this said, there are some bans that are well-earned and obviously do not deserve any form of a second chance, but among them there are those dedicated players that simply did not think before acting in times of aggression, or in personal feuds with other players, and even with that taken into account, most if not all of those cases are still denied. This troubles me, because as we know, CN has seen better days regarding player activity, especially with new nation building games popping up now and again. So I know this is a futile blog post for the intended purpose, but I would like to see admin slack the rules in those instances, where the player was in good standing, and is sincerely sorry for what he/she has done to get banned.

    Ok so i think we have all had some !@#$%* times on the interstate, and some either fun times or WTF moments. I shall share some of these WTF moments that i have collected over the past 4 years. Some of this you may find hard to believe, but i promise you it is all true.
    1. Was driving down I-77 one time, late to a friend's concert, i was going at least 90 MPH praying that a cop wasn't around, when i see this convertible with pimped out rims, and an insanely loud motor, pass me like I was parked. Now i looked at him as he passed and the guy was pretty old ( at least mid 60's by the looks of him) he must have been doing at least a 100 or more, and his license plate read: BAD2BONE
    2. Once again I was driving down I-77, I was going around 65 MPH or so, and this pickup truck drives up next to me, in the flatbed of the truck, three dudes were all standing in the back pissing off the side of the truck.
    3. This was an experience that took place on my way to a concert called the "Carolina Rebellion". Traffic was backed up the ass, and wasn't moving at all for at least an hour. Now normally i would be pissed off at this traffic, but these 3 cars in front of me who were apparently all buddies, went to the grassy area and set up some lawn chairs, a grill, and a cooler. They invited me and my buddy over(we were "parked" right next to there party. And we drank some soda's and ate some burgers in the middle of heavy traffic.
    I have more but it's 245 am and im tired of typing so yeah comment, or share some of your WTF experiences whilst driving the interstate
