  5. Alliances Throughout the Years

    in Open World RP

    Posted

    First of all Only IRON

     

    That said I think you count Umb and especaly Top out too fast.

    I feal like Im up 5-1 at the end of the first ining agests last years world serise champian

    I always find it interesting seeing people's choice of alliances change over their career of CN. You can literally find them in one alliance despising another, but then a year+ later are in that same alliance. You can see multiple people alliance jump 2-5 alliances each month, you can find so many merging into others or splinters breaking away from others that it's hard to keep it straight where someone is.

    The most intriguing thing, to me atleast, is how when someone changes alliances; how that cultures changes them.

    Hell i bet most of you have a nice idea in your heads of someone like this right now even.

    So in short, what alliances have you been in since your start of CN? If you can please provide dates so we can also see what happened around those times as well (maybe you joined an alliance and left a week or two before they disbanded or joined for a stint due to wanting to be a war mercenary, etc.)

    And if you want to include why you joined a certain alliance or left one go ahead and post it up anyway. Always fun seeing what goes through people's minds, especially when two people may see a situation entirely differently :popcorn:

    ______

    I'll go ahead and start it off i guess.

    I started my career being recruited off-site by a friend who had been trying to get me into it for a few weeks. I finally conceded and made a nation and applied for the alliance he was running (PPO infact). It's literally the only alliance i've ever been apart of. Good or bad, you tell me. But i've made plenty of friends thanks to it

    How adorable. I believe we will use our multi-billion warchests to make some poor nations bleed since we won't have any trouble finding targets in this war, unlike the one all you IRON people keep referring to...

    I know Top has a CnG stile hold in them. Not even Umbrella does thoue. So after evryone has left you on the battle field what will you do treaty wise? After you do the last mohth of CnG?

    He's pretty much been causing trouble wherever he goes. I dont know what he did in ION, but I know he was put on an attack list in GPF for sending false government messages, and was being attacked quite a bit by both FAN and GPF.


    I'd assume whatever he did, he deserved the PZI.

    In my book there's only one thang that deserves PZI (that is declaring PZI/EZI) and evan then we shudent.

    Well, maybe not the best example you could take... :)


    On an unrelated note, I look forward to see IRON as the other alliance above 50 score. I just hope I am not jinxing it for them (and with that I mean that I hope I'll jinx it).

    It's hegemony not hegiminy. The core of it lies in DH/C&G and their allies and there doesn't exist a real division with those two. The dominant alliances of the political game are in those two.

    Remember it was DH/PB/C&G with hopes of adding PF, but with the division within PB you described coupled with NG's departure, I'm just calling it DH/C&G now.

    Really? You think without DH->NG->TLR DH and C&G will be on the same side next war? you don't take the NG withdrale as them chusing sides between C&G and DH?

  22. Prestige over Stats

    in Open World RP

    I am just loving the Pandoras Box/Kaskus-Mongols war. Not really for its merits or the parties involved, so much as how it is just demonstrating every argument we have had on Bob writ large. In another thread we have argued the merits of small alliances vs. large alliances and how they interact with each other. But as this war has progressed, another argument has emerged.

    Prestige.

    I think at this point the outcome of the war is certain. Kaskus and Mongols have no hope of a tactical military victory. Eventually numbers will win out and they will be subsumed by the forces arrayed against them. That is of course, if time is in their favor. I refer everyone to the case study of the Ordo Pardoxia-GOD War. On the face of it, the few members of OP had no chance against GOD. Yet GOD's inability to decisively end the conflict (for whatever reason, many of them legit) led to Vlad and friends gaining enormous prestige. Vlad himself was named player of the year for 2011. By dragging out the conflict for months, not only did he not have to admit defeat against GOD, but when the Grudge War began and superfriends took the beating for their allies, Vlad was allowed to get off scott free in the ultimate peace settlement. Admittedly without any admissions on either side, but there it is. His one man crusade earned him admiration from many sectors and at the same time weakened the relative position of his enemy when the time came to put cards down on the table against serious opponents.

    I am now seeing a similar position playing out now. Kaskus may be a micro, but they are a dangerous bunch. Many such as GantanX are every much the equal of Vlad in skill and warchests. Many such as myself warned GOONS that this was a pointless mistake, and yet they went in anyway. And now comes the argument. GOONS and Friends will win this war tactically. If they keep up the pressure. But how long will it take? If the OP-GOD war is an indication, it could be months. I don't think any of us has illusions that Bob is entering a period of unprecedented peace and stability. Which now begs the question? Why is PB willing to stick its neck out for a fight that serves no strategic benefit?

    In my view, they don't want to see GOONS humiliated, as this would reflect badly on the entirety of PB. The PB Declaration is not so much an effort to shore up GOONS as it is to shore up the Prestige of the entire bloc. They don't want to be viewed as weak. Yet by so doing they commit themselves to a conflict that threatens to damage that very perception. So I must conclude that Prestige DOES matter. It matters alot. The problem with it is that it is much harder to quantify then Nation Strength.

    The micros did the impossible, beat the goons: PB gad to roll to rescue them. that meanss somthing

    You can argue semantics as much as you want. Iconic figures have the ability to impact the thoughts and opinions of the masses. That's not necessarily a bad thing.

    I just find it interesting that IRON and valhalla seemed to be relatively quite in this thread, and they didn't ask for reps either. To me, that says a lot about the state of the relationship(s).

    EDIT: SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

    They betrayed us; we settled it; and now it's over: what's more to say.

    Yeah sorry but this is nonsense. There was a very large group within TOP who felt betrayed over Bipolar and wanted to get back at Polar for it (not to mention IRON who attacked as well).

    Crymson doesn't make policy in TOP these days, whether it be to start the war in the first place or to keep a grudge alive now. Don't make the mistake of reading his posts and thinking that reflects all of TOP – somewhat like myself, he likes to have his opinions and air them.

    Since people are talking about the BLEU war, though, Crymson does have a good point there when he says that Polar was quite happy to make friends with most of the alliances that fought against them immediately afterwards, including several MDP level relationships. To try to justify Polar's actions in Bipolar based on TOP hitting them in WotC, when you consider how Polar treated most of the other attackers, is ludicrous. (In fact, the reason TOP was happy to go into coalition with Polar and trust them in the first place was because relations after the BLEU war were greatly improved.)

    Besides, clause 8 forbids Polar from rolling TOP for 4 year old issues anyway ;).

    Hopefully Polar uses the clean slate which they've (nominally, at least) been given here to get their diplomacy back on track, and become a respected member of the geopolitical community again. There are some good people over there, but unfortunately the leadership doesn't seem to be consistently selected from them.

    Like NPO did after last war: too bad TOoL had to go down before they could get there act together.
