Suit yourself HoT, there's plenty of room on the cross next to the rest of them. If you're all so giddy to lose I don't see why you complain about it so much though - not that you have been the worst offender this time.

If you're worried about damage done to NEW you wouldn't advocate escalation.

[quote name='The Big Bad' timestamp='1292980037' post='2548964'] This has to be one of the most foolish things I have seen in many years here. I understand the need to dumb down a situation to try and prove your point but, in this case not only do you come off as a bigot you fail you even properly relate what is occuring with your story. To start with just who is the huge black man? The few nations left on the disbanded Dark Fist AA? Who are the multiple black friends? Fark is aqua and PE and Int are orange. Its almost like you have no idea what is even going on. And you call others stupid? Ironic that. [/quote] I'm afraid I was actually elaborating on poor Doch's analogy. Funnily enough the colours of the men in my story mean very little, and if you really want me to add details; I still would not enter this fight if my friend went and attacked a small black midgit who was surrounded by large multi-coloured men who happened to also be my good friends. You are bad at this TBB, you were terrible at it when you were part of Skype Krew and you're terrible at it now. Figure out a better way of turning the PR war your way because morality is tired and old. And furthermore, I know you all want to destroy PB but you've managed to pit yourselves against CnG and SF (the two crowds you should probably be trying to haul to your side) and try and convince PB to join your side.. It's really a bad strategy. Like, a really, really bad strategy.

[quote name='HeroofTime55' timestamp='1292976076' post='2548894'] PB apparently isn't yet aware that they are in a position to easily grab complete control over the world. You would have won this war. [b]I can't fathom why you are holding back.[/b] Are you really that afraid of upturning the status quo? [/quote] Maybe this is the difference between you (great work in the WCE logs btw, high five) and those currently sitting sweetly?

[quote name='The Big Bad' timestamp='1292979014' post='2548944'] When NEW does something they believe in they do not back down. Anyone who knows NEW knows this, its allies more than anyone. NEWs view on raiding is nothing new either. This is what comes with being allied to NEW, its the way they are. It is also something NEWs allies were aware of when the signed up with them. NEW will fight against any odds when they think they are right or to defend an ally. So long as that was a asset to people like PC and iFOK they were happy to have them as allies. When the very thing they value in them as an ally now required them to do the same they turned tail and ran. Its not like this is a sudden change of NEWs behavior that suprised PC or iFOK. To ditch them now is pathetic. It appears to these people NEW really is nothing but a meat shield. This new trend of not defending allies that over the last couple of years has gone from shocking (ODN for example) to buisness as usual is nothing but one more nail in the coffin of planet bob. [/quote] Never change.

That whole 'friends > infra' motto was a great way of uniting the MAJORITY of people to overthrow the MINORITY in power. Funnily enough it's turned into a great way of solidifying the MAJORITY of people in power and really rolling the MINORITY of people sitting in the mud. You guys need a new strategy 'cause calling everyones morality and honour into question all the time, when it's pretty clear by now everyone's a hypocrite is just not going to work. Stop throwing yourselves onto your spears trying to steal that glorious feeling everyone had for MK in the noCB war. It ain't gonna work, my friends.

[quote name='HalfEmpty' timestamp='1292976023' post='2548892'] You heard it here first kids! A brilliant sample of the Hive Mind that is CN. Edit: U Yellow! [/quote] Wow you are quite something. With your first post you seem to lack the capacity to actually call me out yourself and instead manage to highlight what you think are the most likely areas someone with a little more fortitude, but with equally little interest in the debate at hand, might use to throw some stunning retort in my direction. Oh, no thought of something, brilliant edit. Stone cold yellow? What the hell does that even mean, did you pluck up the courage to imply that I am lacking in it? I don't even really know what to say my whole first post was detailing exactly why that is not the case. Say what you want but if you were to go and attack a bunch of your friends (who happen to be large and black) because they knocked out your mate who himself ran headlong into one of their fists.. Well, you wouldn't. By golly, this second post that I quoted is the real sight to behold here. After the use of your collective nouns throughout both posts to try and rope in all your little merry men to your side, you again simply highlight exactly what I said and try and pass it off to someone more competent in the arena. Not only that, you then go on and claim that I am somehow demonstrating the hive-mind that is CN. You are unreal, but you are not as bad as Dochartaigh. Maybe one day.

Dark Fist are a black alliance, it was fitting. Do you have some problem with me using black people in this scenario, or the word retards? HalfEmpty indeed, get out.

[quote name='Dochartaigh' timestamp='1292966834' post='2548691'] i would be in the fight with him 100% instead of stepping back and watching 3 guys stomp on him and then visiting him in the hospital afterwards with a get well soon card. that is by no means the actions of a true friend. if a so called true friend pulled that on me, i would no longer consider them worthy of being a friend. remember this, a true friend is there for you through thick and thin. for the bad times and the good. it does not appear that PC and iFOK are there for NEW through the bad times and instead put other friends far ahead of their friendship with NEW. [/quote] If my friend went and attacked a huge black man with multiple black friends chilling in the surrounding setting, and I knew they would pretty much leave him be after knocking him over as long as I didn't go running in being retarded too.. I would not go and help my friend. I don't care if this is the best man at my wedding, if he's a moron he's a moron and I'll pick him up from the hospital with some painkillers. If you honestly would not be friends with someone if they didn't run in after you to some obviously unfavorable situation just because of some false sense of morality then I think you have some serious mental issues you need to have looked at. This is all disregarding the fact that I'm friends with a few of the big black friends in the surrounding setting and don't really see any reason to be rude to them whatsoever. Dochartaigh you are an unbelievably bad poster, and there is no excuse for your stupidity.

One last post to follow up my previous post: I am now 10 days old, I have been involved in 8 tech raids and have had 0 counterattacks. I have made over 50 tech which I will use to continue funding my tech deals. I havn't dogpiled any of my attackers, I've just don raid, raid, peace. Or if the nations are inactive I stop offering peace until they either come back and offer peace or the war expires. I am also now very proficient in knowing when I want to cautious, planned or aggressive attack my foes leaving me ideal troop deployments against other targets as well as hopefully pulling it off so I have dealt with 3 targets a day and still have my deployment to spare incase I ever do get attacked or someone does start fighting back. I would like to see anyone try and argue that in the low ranges tech raiding isn't profitable, or that it isn't fun for us.

[quote name='Fernando12' timestamp='1291155885' post='2526775'] Obviously I am opposed to tech raiding. Not because it's evil or wrong. But because I see it as a waste of time and precious funds. [/quote] I'm not sure if you're still interested but feel free to check out my nation: http://www.cybernations.net/nation_drill_display.asp?Nation_ID=434688 I'm quite new but I've been involved in 6 wars in the past 2 days, so far no one has retaliated, and I'm sitting in DEFCON 5.. I must admit I have played in the lower tiers before but I always found it extremely profitable. I'm actually too small currently, I don't gain enough tech with every raid, but give me another 5k NS or so, and I'll start being able to totally fund my tech deals with raided tech. The only time it begins getting hard is when my land is far surpassed what it should be at my level and so I'm having to raid nations twice my infra. Even then very few ever fight back and without nukes there's no way they ever make it less than profitable.
