  3. Top 20 alliances Analysis

    in Open World RP

    Posted · Edited by Chaoshawk

     

    1. NPO - The old guy who goes on about his past a lot, although you wonder how much is actually true.  As you grow and it doesn't, you suspect it will last as long as the universe itself.  Includes a faint smell of Scotch.

    2. GPA - This will only end when realise that they can't cash in all of that useless infra for a free pizza and a coke.

    3. IRON - Is it steroids?  Is it synthol?  All flex.

    4. Umbrella - A strong case of OCD, perhaps.  More infra than tech?  Somebody will die.  Probably one of them.

    5. NpO - An aggressive advertising campaign for a new brand of breath mints.

    6. WTF - They're isolationist, not neutral, and still nobody cares.

    7. ODN - Who needs a cheap lawyer to whine on their behalf.  Here you go.

    8. VE - A green alliance that has someone allowed itself to live in the shadow of neutrals.  Let's hear it for them.

    9. RNR - If science ever needs its fill of useless research, finding out what this alliance does would be a good start.

    10. Sparta - Well...

    11. NATO - They sat around and got a pip like the kid who sits around and gets a star.

    12. Valhalla - If you haven't started, don't watch Vikings.  They've already ruined it for you.

    13. NEW - A kid in the corner with a bowl cut who's cutting up his eraser to eat.  Just leave him alone

    14. DT - Is it stormy out.  Clearly, one umbrella wasn't enough.

    15. MI6 - Eggs, tea.. they bond by talking about food and drink.  A lumbering alliance, for sure.

    16. Pax Corvus - The middle-aged woman obsessed with darkness and, would you believe it, cats.

    17. FAN - Guns.  Yeah.  Woo.  Right...

    18. GOONS - Controversial.  Nah, just kidding.  It's 2015 and nobody cares.

    19. FARK - How many times can you recycle the same crappy jokes/whatever those things are?  We'll find out.

    20. SNX - Wasn't this a snowboard game from years ago.

    I'm kidding.  Calm down.

     

     

    This is what I was looking for.

  4. Popping some Roids

    You do not really need luck Atlas, but enjoy the wars you have.

     

     

    Chaos must die. Forward Atlas!

     

    Now now, there's no need for Chaos to die.

     

    A whole ton of them opened up today...

     

    but ITT people complaining about a legitimate CB, people complaining we didn't war MI enough already, and people complaining about the people complaining.

     

    There has not been a single war where someone didn't complain. I know you guys won't let it bother you, but that's how it is.

     

    That is true, which is why my first line was that LH screwed up.

    My point is should the rest of MInc be rolled for the actions of two people?

     

    Wars have been started for less and given a government member of an alliance was involved it does lend legitimacy to the declaration of war whether or not the casus belli given was the original reason they wanted to go to war. Given the other wars Monsters Inc. has been involved in, they have been making a series of errors that are certainly not making it easy on themselves. Although, the posts from their members here appears to show they do not really care and they're more than happy to fight so have at it!

  9. This Week in Os's World

    in World Affairs (IC)

    Posted

    I'm not certain whether or not the OP is intending to hurt the character of OsRavan or look at him in a more positive light. It's almost as if he is working to make our Sec-Gen look better. Perhaps we readers should all consider this is a ploy to help OsRavan win more elections as our eternal leader? I believe I see right through this Schattenman's tricks. Well played Os! You always were crafty with your overtly kind tone and walls of text that are being quoted upside down.

  10. Your First War

    in World Affairs (IC)

    Posted · Edited by Chaoshawk

    I joined in time to see GW2 and GW3 occur and was a member of IRON until January 2007 because I felt overwhelmed by the game and perceived I had no help when I asked questions about the mechanics and workings of the game. I joined Wolfpack, which just started around February that year and stayed there for a while. Eventually some members splintered off due to some personal disagreements into an alliance called Realm of Titans, they became a protectorate of IRON and constantly taunted us for reasons I forgot. A government member, the head of the academy/getting new members integrated int othe alliance, YourLurkingShadow was still friends with RoT and said he was going to be done with the game soon. 

     

    Not long after, RoT claimed we were spying on them and used logs that appeared to show Shadow attempting to get information about RoT and engaging in espionage. It seemed rather fishy since he was friends with them and probably had no difficulty getting any information on them whatsoever. This was used as a CB for IRON, NPO, and MHA to pretty much obliterate the alliance for much of March 2008. Sparta cancelled the PIAT in order to appease the Continuum and GGA did the same during the war to avoid their MDP obligations in what seemed like a manufactured cause of war. They made it appear as if there was an intricate spy ring when in reality it was just one guy who was already connected to the alliance allegedly being spied on. I think Wolfpack's slow response and ability to get its head around the situation helped increase the perception they were being shady and played into their aggressors heads. A rather confused response was the only thing really given by the government. Although, my favorite part of the conflict was FAN tricking us into giving them the 18k tech reparations to them at first. That part was awesome. Realm of Titans disbanded two months after the war was over as well. During the war Wolfpack had around 230 members and dropped below 100 a few months later due to not wanting to pay reparations or being highly discouraged about what was seen as a random war of the blue for some dubious reason.

     

    I definitely learned the importance of communication and disinformation that was used heavily during the Continuum era to attack several alliances. The lack of using IRC was very detrimental and war is pretty dull despite the hype. If you look at those past threads you'll see everyone either played along in the propaganda game or legitimacy believed small, involved alliances would have an actual reason to have 'intricate spy rings'. A interesting part of that is looking at the posters then and where they are now/what they did since then. I quit the game after that war, so I didn't really get to use the lessons learned from it and joined ODN when I returned in 2009 a month before Karma during that VD-INT incident.

     

     

    OOC: It was very well played by RoT and IRON to get some easy technology at the time. Although, it was bizarre that RoT disbanded despite its rapid growth at the time. The disbandment thread is also weird.
