[quote name='Rush Sykes' timestamp='1323570970' post='2873109'] As clever as you think that was, just because you say it, doesnt make it so. In fact, id bet almost everything I own, that were it not for VietFan, your entire alliance would still be playing the same game as everyone else. [/quote] Id bet that if you were raised differently, you would be different than you are now.

[quote name='berbers' timestamp='1323515833' post='2872417'] Back off, get your own Humphrey! [/quote] Im trying to get my own Humphrey!

[quote name='Rush Sykes' timestamp='1323563230' post='2872996'] Would everyone being like FAN make it more interesting? [s]This is where I burst your bubble. No, it wouldnt. Humans are what they are. The same situation where 2 sides form, and they fight. And one side reigns superior for a time, while the 2nd tries to catch up, will just repeat itself.[/s] Yes [/quote] Fixed it for you.

[quote name='He Who Has No Name' timestamp='1323542588' post='2872730'] So... ahem... Has anyone seen Cortath lately? Or, y'know... Moo? Because we've got mpol out. We were expecting at least an equivalent show of vets. [/quote] Weird.. i cant seem to find Cortath anywhere.

[quote name='Sir Humphrey' timestamp='1323490649' post='2871670'] Let's not do this here. NATO is in this to honour its obligation to defend NPO (not fill your war slots), we all know what the numbers are, and we all know how nuclear anarchy works. Heck, we have been there before. So good luck FAN, and perhaps next time we can be on the same side if you can bring yourself to choose a different target [/quote] Classy AND a firm understanding of the world mechanics. Are you single by chance?

[quote name='Perceus' timestamp='1323465422' post='2871169'] but thats what makes it more exciting! Having to arm wrestle six fronts at the same time! Personally anyway. Also, Anu, not trying to be that guys, just looking for at least one defensive war slot to be filled so I can do more than just CMs and air strikes against my opponents. But I guess I'll just wait til the next round... [/quote] It sure is an interesting place to be. Its nice that the NATO guys like to talk at least.

[quote name='Perceus' timestamp='1323426180' post='2870790'] Hey FAN, Im still waiting for that "Going out with a BANG" momentum, come on! I have two FAN nations that I declared on and Im still standing, you can either fill up the rest of my slots or you can ask your two nations to actually fight back please? one nuke a day wont keep me down you know. [/quote] Not sure about the guy youre fighting, but I was already engaged with 4 nations when 2 NATO nations finally declared on me.

[quote name='Branimir' timestamp='1323381247' post='2869607'] We all know that New Pacific Order is the entire point and meaning to your existence. It is greatly flattering. We though, couldn't never reciprocate this devotion, but thumps up for the great honor. It is always special to be another ones entire point of being. Keep on trucking and never, ever change (well you already did, but at least in this devotion part). See you soon. [/quote] Lets see, we play to drink beer with FARK and fight.. Who else are we going to fight? There are no bigger !@#$% bags on planet Bob than NPO.

[quote name='Daimos' timestamp='1323372647' post='2869428'] Green Goblin seems out of place on that list. Try Lex Luther. [/quote] You missed the point that in the end, all of them died.

[quote name='memoryproblems' timestamp='1323368011' post='2869353'] How's that working out for you this time around? [/quote] Its working quite well. I started the war at 12k NS and 6 days in im at 14k NS. Im also fighting 6 guys. It took the 2 NATO last night to put me into anarchy (5 days in). So much for the 3 NPO that ive been fighting eh?

[quote name='Stonewall Jaxon' timestamp='1323325913' post='2868751'] As someone who spent time in FAN, you should know that I know exactly the mentality with which y'all approach things, and it isn't the "I don't give a !@#$" mentality that you profess here. I remember when I got angry PMs for suggesting that we commit a Red Raiding Safari as a $%&@ you to NPO (I didn't use the term; that was invented when other alliances had the same idea as I did about 2-3 months late) because that was, in the words of FAN members "just the type of !@#$%^&* that will get us rolled again." I remember being chased out because my posting on the OWF was, in Kane's words "the type !@#$%^&* that got us into a war last time." You guys were literally so paralyzed by fear of what NPO did that you approached CN like a neutered puppy; you tried to make pretty much everyone but NPO happy, and I'd be surprised if you saw that MK and Fark were on different political sides until very recently. However, I don't blame you for being the way you are these days, I just hate whenever you profess that you "just don't care" or that all of your opponents are "losers who cut themselves when they lose their pixels" because it's an obvious psychological ploy that most people grow out of by the time they're seven years old. You're just trying to put yourselves above others in your mind because they care, while at the same time you [i]clearly care as much as anyone else[/i]. There are plenty of people in this game who'd rather burn their infrastructure than build it; you're not alone in that. I just want you to admit that you're on this "planet" just like everyone else, and you're no better than anyone because of some preschoolish "I'm taking my ball and going home" mentality. The only thing worse than spending time on Digiterra is doing so and pretending you don't want to. If you don't care then why are you here? You're no better than anyone of us, just admit that and I'll be happy. [/quote] The one thing you are correct in, was about a 6 month period of "Look guys, chill and lets build some warchests so we can destroy some !@#$.". We had spent 2+ years in a war that drained most of our resources and getting involved in a fight with an empty 6 shooter is about as !@#$@#$ stupid a thing as you can do. The disinterest in the game is there for us, except in terms of war. We LIKE being here during war. We have fun during war. The rest of the time, we really couldnt give a $%&@ less. For myself personally, I lost a 13k infra nation with almost a 2b warchest due to inactivity. For 25+ days straight, I didnt even think of CN. Although im on our forums daily. If that isnt the thoughts and actions of someone who doesnt care about CN I dont know what is. I DO care about FAN though, which is why I have nation and am fighting. I wont let my brothers have all the fun without me. Id be surprised if this nation lasts 3 months post war.

[quote name='Stonewall Jaxon' timestamp='1323323428' post='2868636'] "You can't insult us for failing because we don't care if we fail." Is that really the story now? BEcause it's pretty easy to see straight through. [/quote] As someone who spent time in FAN you should have a better view of our stance on things and the way we play the game. I guess this is part of why you were expelled? It isnt that we care if we win or not. Hell, If you are going to do something without trying, why bother doing it to begin with? We did realize that even with FARK we were unlikely to win this war. FAN+FARK is smaller than NPO in almost every conceivable catagory. Then add their treaty partners to the mix. But we like destroying !@#$. Bottom line, we REALLy like destroying !@#$. I am fighting 5 opponents. The odds are not in my favor. Im content though and "life" on planet bob is fun again, for a few days.. or weeks.. or if we are lucky months. Did I mention we really get our rocks off on destroying !@#$? Here is the best compliment that we can give anyone in game though. Seriously.. are you ready for it? FAN keeps attacking NPO because NPO is really the only alliance worth attacking. We cant stand NPO. We dont like NPO. They are our Darth Vader. They are our Joker. They are our Green Goblin. Finally, they are a worthy opponent. If NPO suddenly ceased to exist today (or you know, dec 25th for those of you who want to give us a christmas present) We would rejoice. We would party.. Get drunk and rape some priests or something. Then when the hangovers started clearing up a few months later (for those who didnt die from alcohol poisoning or OD on blow) .. a deep sadness would set in when we realize that there are no great bad guys left on planet bob. We will ALWAYS fight NPO for as long as we continue to play CN though. Its what we do. And always remember, our flowers grow in canned sunshine.

I like to kill things and break !@#$. I like this war. I like fighting NPO. I like fighting NATO. Always remember, our flowers grow in the canned sunshine.
