    Like I said, the solution is easy: if you're rogued by someone, keep them at war until you have satisfaction. It doesn't matter what AA they go to, it only matters if the AA chooses to defend them by hitting you. This was just as true for NSO in years past as it is for Kashmir today. I defended NSO then, and I'll defend Kashmir now.

    That's a funny story. Sadly for you, the truth is here: http://www.cybernations.net/nation_activity.asp?Nation_ID=556785 No SDS on that warscreen. Also, Blacky left the Doom Kingdom.

    Alliance hopping? You have apparently confused me with someone else. (For the record: I joined Cybernations in the summer of 2008 as a member of NRGW. I left NRGW in September of that year and joined Invicta, where I stayed until March of 2014. I then left Invicta and joined Javahouse, where I stayed until we merged with Anarchy Inc. to form Last Call. I am now still in Last Call.) Despite the size of your ego, it is not Polaris. Your alliance has suffered in the past due to your failure to perceive the difference between the two. I only hope that your current group of lackeys realize who you are in time, and betray you before you stab them in the back.

    Yes, go ahead and attack everyone who slights you in some way. That always ends well for you. It's Mihail, he probably actually doesn't know.

    Alliances frequently allow former members to rejoin once their wars are done. Ex-members who are kept at war, well, it's also common for alliances to pay reparations to help them get out of war. This business you have of demanding that other alliances eject people you have a grudge against reminds me eerily of Almighty Grub. Have you considered applying to Polar?
  6. Haflinger
    No, they didn't. Stop hallucinating. You chose to escalate the whole thing. Some of us are already tired lol. In a way, it'd be better if Methrage actually managed to put together a respectable coalition. Certainly there have been crazier people leading coalitions in the past.

    It's not laziness. There aren't enough new nations available to act as tech providers; in order to continue the old rates of tech acquisition, you have to have some old nations continue to act as tech providers. It's simple math.
  8. Haflinger
    No, he said WRC/EMP nations. Both those two wonders have tech requirements, which would be pretty expensive to buy directly (especially the EMP).
  9. Haflinger
    Well, if you came out of dove, you could perhaps see how well your warchest handles the pressure.
  10. Haflinger
    Right. No, you have this backwards. The tech banks make the upper tier stronger. Without them, the upper tier doesn't have enough tech to stay competitive. The thing about the banks is that damage done to them is largely superfluous. Assuming they have a billion or so, they can just bounce back to 8K infra postwar and keep on pumping out tech.
  11. Haflinger
    Yeah, most prosperous alliances have those. I call them tech banks. Mushroom Kingdom had an awful lot of them.
  12. Haflinger
    This always happens with prosperous alliances, the lower tiers flood with tech sellers who keep the upper tiers supplied. Then, when a beatdown alliance hits, the tech sellers get rolled over. It's what happened to GOONS in the Doomhouse war, because nearly their whole alliance was tech farmers and all their opponents were beatdown alliances. This is the risk that tech sellers take, and the main reason why nations should stop selling tech once their warchest is built.

    The end of the world is nigh, I agree with Freelancer. Also interesting: http://www.cybernations.net/war_information.asp?ID=800396That began about seven hours after the 12 mil arrived from III%. Kind of a meager warchest to go with.
  14. Haflinger
    No, I do not fish. If ODN has issues with you, they are free to come here and announce them. I'm more just giving open advice to anyone who decides to protect you that they should talk to ODN first. Good luck finding a protector; personally I think refusing protectorates to tiny alliances is foolish, the best protectorate deal I ever signed personally was with a two-nation alliance. (They grew.)
  15. Haflinger
    If you liked ODN, just felt a bit lost because they were too big and wanted to leave, it's quite common for people in that exact situation to get protection from their former alliance as it - being large - has sufficient resources to protect them, and there is already some familiarity between the former member and the large alliance's government. Of course, it's entirely possible that that is merely a story you are making up to cover some internal drama you don't want to discuss. Still, I see that you left voluntarily. You do seem to have received a decent quantity of aid from ODN, I hope you're not on a take-the-money-and-run plan. Those rarely work out well.
  16. Haflinger
    No. If you had desired this outcome, you might have tried going for it before declaring war. It seems rather unlikely now. You are only at war so much because you are extraordinarily aggressive yourself. Look in the mirror. I know, it's broken from when you put your hand through it in a fit of rage, but find someone else's. I don't think anyone would have complained if you'd just triple-teamed Layton like a normal alliance, perhaps asked for him to be booted and sanctioned. But you can't do that, for you lack the nations. So, instead, you take this course of action. It will not work out well for you.

    Sadly, BAPS is mostly gone. The guys I knew have largely left; Cyborg Belial left years ago, Nobody Expects is gone now... There are still people around. Curiously, Topgun is in VE, right now fighting SPaTR. Also, the Mushroom Kingdom isn't gone. They're a shadow of what they once were, but they're still here. Same as BAPS, I guess.
  18. Haflinger
    Call him Jonesy. Saying Jonesing makes you look kinda newbish. They were pretty straight shooters with me actually. Fierce, yeah, but they did what they said they would do. My favourite BAPS thread: http://forums.cybernations.net/index.php?showtopic=81241 That was from Bipolar. The other side had swamped Invicta, but a lot of the AAs engaging were kinda incompetent. The shining exception was Nueva Vida, who was beating on Invicta something fierce. Meanwhile, BAPS had gotten about half their AA into dove. So they came to us and said "Who do you need help with?" And then they hit NV. Heh, both Alterego and Rey post in that thread. Rey probably still doesn't understand why BAPS hated MK so much. Here's a tip: When noWedge tried to drive BAPS from the world for nuking - http://forums.cybernations.net/index.php?showtopic=12085- MK was allied to BAPS, with an MDP. They refused to help. Years later, that thread from Bipolar led to this one: http://forums.cybernations.net/index.php?showtopic=107361It's pretty ironic that Invicta and Sparta are now allies, but I'm not there anymore either.

    He's not talking to you, he's talking to that other alliance, the ones who are into crucifying bears. (Calvary is a real word, but it doesn't mean people fighting from horseback.)
  20. Haflinger
    I have to say that those of us who actually did know BAPS pretty well find a discussion between Lord Hitchcock and Rey about who knows them better to be ironic. But, at least LH has Jonesy in his alliance, so he is getting some of the BAPS experience there. BAPS didn't exactly disband either: they merged into Anarchy Inc. When Alterego reformed the BAPS AA, AI protected it for a while as well. That protection was still in place January 13, 2015, when Lord Hitchcock formed Monsters Inc.
  21. Haflinger
    It's actually the exact same CB that NPO used to hit Ordo Verde, that kicked off Karma.

    Here's to the good old days.

    IRON was part of the initial declaration on Umbrella, you missed that war in IRON's list in the text based web.
  24. Haflinger
    Admin... It's a nice addition but it's not completely accurate. The war stats screen appears to not take into account tech and land stolen in ground attacks. So if I hit somebody and steal 20 tech, and then he hits me back and steals 10 tech, it shows me as losing 10 tech in that war even though I've actually gained 10 tech.

    I assume by "we" Krack means "Ragnarok." A joint CDT and Superfriends task force declared war on the Illuminati back in 2008, which quickly fell apart. They lost most of their nations to individual surrenders, with the notable exception of the Rat Pack, which is a whole other story that I'm not going to tell here. The few nations that didn't surrender individually did eventually agree to surrender terms as an alliance. Said surrender terms appointed Van Hoo, then the leader of Ragnarok, as viceroy of Illuminati. Some of us thought this was a terrible idea, but Hoo pressed on. A few weeks later Ragnarok redeclared on the remnants of Illuminati, which finally came completely apart. Most of the remaining nations deleted, possibly all of them. There weren't many left at this point. No peace was ever declared primarily because Illuminati lacked an effective government of any kind, which is pretty much the reason why the war started in the first place. However current RoK gov has (sensibly) stated earlier in this thread that they aren't chasing the Illuminati anymore, so it can be considered all over now even without a declaration in Alliance Announcements.
