  9. USN Treaty Announcement

    in Alliance Announcements (IC)

    I wish you and prozach would have chimed in, then that thread would be complete :P

    :awesome:

    This feels like a family reunion, but I'm sad to see that all we came together for is drama. I know very little about this, but I can tell you that as someone who feels lucky to reside in a united sphere, I am not happy with the direction this thread took. I'll just wish my former alliance, and our good allies on Maroon, good luck; I am confident that you all will be able to overcome your differences and that the Maroon sphere will continue to prosper. :)

  13. An open letter to all of the Cyberverse

    in Open World RP

    As for the topic I was discussing... nothing will change with the fall of Q or the New Pacific Order. For the critically challenged, here's what lies over the horizon: Superfriends, the commies, and Chuck Norris curbstomp the NPO and cannibalize the emperor, a month of "WOW WE'RE FREE" passes, people realize that there's nothing all that different to do; the same trends continue: faulty reasons for war, too many meaningless treaties being signed, people being forced out for OOC reasons (ie NoV), all that. Soon enough, a replacement bloc for Q will surface or otherwise, one of the victors will emerge as the new hyperpower right after the war. Enjoy the fun while it lasts, I suppose.

    There is truth in this post.

    What we have here is a geo-political simulator. People are expected to scheme and plot just as they do in real life. Add to that the fact that only pixels get hurt here (well maybe feelings too, but that's not my concern)... what do you expect? People always seek to impose themselves upon others, be it through "superior firepower" or a better use of dialectics (If I recall correctly, the word "polemic" comes from a Greek word whose root means "war"), the latter being the rage among the people who sit on their white horses while standing on higher ground. As Litler eloquently explained, nothing is going to change at all and there isn't a real chance that things are going to change in the long run, even if the current "Global Despots" are overthrown.

    What I find amusing is the fact that people who find the current situation unbearable (like the one who posted the OP) resort to OOC arguments in order to change the status quo. That is why my answer to threads like this is "NO" and will never be anything else. I will NEVER change the way I play my character because someone thinks there isn't enough "honour" in this game from an OOC perspective; my only bound is the TOS and the rules set by mods and admin himself.

    If you have further complaints, you can address the ruler of Provence-Alpes; you will find him to be an amiable man who has a penchant for economics and warmongering.

    Good day to you; indeed, enjoy the fun while it lasts.

    ...and now, I expect the usual the usual flock of OWF pundits (I prefer this term to "peanut gallery" or whatever they call it nowadays) ripping my post because of the AA tag I wear, or because my nation is in peace mode. Don't disappoint me people. Oh and did you remember to polish your white armor today?
