  1. Nice Grouping. That's a thing people say, right? When two terrible alliances treaty up?
  2. This makes a ton of sense. My understanding was that you declared on NPO as a pre-emptive measure before they entered the NpO war. That war is long finished, and yet you still need to take your pound of flesh from them? Why? What's the basis? Probably someone else already said that but I didn't want to read the whole thread.
  3. "The crack of Andrews sniper signified that he had fired. The closest Banshee spiraled out of control as it's pilot was killed. The two remaining Banshees made a sharp turn, and headed back for another pass. Colin began firing onto them with the Machine Gun; he hit the one of the left's wing, and sent it spirialling into his wingman. " ... And we interrupt this engaging fan fiction to bring you the latest news from your friends at SLCB! [quote][CENTER][B]"A democracy is a government in the hands of men of low birth, no property, and vulgar employment" [i]~ Aristotle[/i][/B] [img]http://img21.imageshack.us/img21/613/vaalih.jpg[/img] [B][U]CONSTITUTIONAL VANDALISM IN MONROVIA![/U][/B] Good day to all. I come to you with wonderful news from SLCB. Surely all have seen the upheavals that have occurred in the lands to our north: dictators overthrown, democracies established, [i]change[/i] enacted. What you might not have known is that this demand for an end to the ways of the past - to the nepotism, tyranny, and arrogance of political elites - has spread south, spilling over into mighty Liberia herself. The people have cried out for democracy and the powers of old have been powerless to stop them. And so, without further ado, I present to you the results of the first election in Liberian history![/CENTER] [B][i]For the Band of Merry Men[/i][/B] The election to the Band of Merry Men, a Council of 4 subservient only to the Blood God, was contested by 7 of Liberia's most upstanding citizens. [img]http://www.onlinecharttool.com/test/img_files/20110503142926.png[/img] Unfortunately, NCC was unhappy with me using pie charts for each poll, so here is the same data in bar chart form! [img]http://www.onlinecharttool.com/test/img_files/20110503145931.png[/img] As you can see, however, there was a three-way tie for the fourth seat, and so a run-off election was held! [img]http://www.onlinecharttool.com/test/img_files/20110503160333.png[/img] And so we can present to you Liberia's first Band of Merry Men; [url=http://www.cybernations.net/nation_drill_display.asp?Nation_ID=414450]NCC![/url] [url=http://www.cybernations.net/nation_drill_display.asp?Nation_ID=338425]Kurt Cobain![/url] [url=http://www.cybernations.net/nation_drill_display.asp?Nation_ID=457767]danosaur![/url] [url=http://www.cybernations.net/nation_drill_display.asp?Nation_ID=314892]xplicit![/url] [B][i]For the Blood God[/i][/B] The election for Blood God, that is, the head of state, was contested by three of the greatest minds SLCB has ever known. [img]http://www.onlinecharttool.com/test/img_files/20110503150305.png[/img] And so Liberia's first ever Blood God is... [url=http://www.cybernations.net/nation_drill_display.asp?Nation_ID=273669]Me![/url][/quote] [quote][b]Is that all we have to tell you??[/b] Of course not. But [size="7"][b]BE WARNED!!!!![/b][/size]. This section is not entirely IC! Some people might recently have gone to explodish.org/slcb, or slcb.omgnowai.com, and been perplexed as to why there were no forums there! Well, SLCB recently came in to a lot of money when a distant uncle of porksaber converted to buddhism and left him all his worldly goods, which was just enough to purchase our old domain name. Therefore, SLCB has returned to its rightful home at www.seaworthy-liberians.com[/quote] Have a nice day everyone!
  4. That's 1001 points of happiness you've missed out on
  5. I'm guessing people are reading all the commentaries relating to their alliance, yeah. If I get bored later I'll fill this thing in btw, stay tuned!
  6. For anyone who was worried that he doesn't have enough experience, he knows! The plan is to join GPA, have a snoop around to see how they do business, then resign after one month and use their ideas, safe in the knowledge that he has SLCB protection. Everybody wins.
  7. Huh, we're pretty unpopular. We never even do anything these days.
  8. [quote name='WorldConqueror' timestamp='1303910119' post='2700322'] Does this mean you're willing to disband yours? (not that I don't like SLCB.) [/quote] No, but I take your point. It's a prisoner's dilemma.
  9. The problem with CN is that there are far, far too many alliances. [img]http://blog.ascentis.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/The_More_You_Know.jpg[/img]
  10. On a personal note, forgiving the reps had nothing to do with PR since I didn't really expect this to be announced and I knew full well that even if it was, the people who were too blind to see why reps were justified in the first place would hardly be mollified by the forgiving of reps later on. That's neither here nor there, this is a place to congratulate TKTB et al on a job well done, so well done. I wish you the best of luck going forward.
  11. The paper is about government formation, why would he need to go into depth detailing the mechanics of CN and the game's peculiarities? Having said that, I don't think there's that much complexity in the decision making processes behind the formation of most governments in CN; the issues that we see in real world government formation, such as civil liberty, social mobility, elitism, ethnicity, culture et cetera simply don't matter in a world where governments are responsible for a few hundred people at best and the majority of those aren't hugely interested in internal politics.
  12. Treaties aren't as fun when they aren't secret, ah well
