goddammit

I hit my 5th last July, with only six months off at various intervals.

I hit 5 years a little over a week ago. That nation has long since passed, of course, but I've had a nation for the vast majority of that time.

I'm glad the flag debate was finally settled, and with one of my favorite options, at that.

The Great War period of CN was by far the best time I've ever had in the game. I was neutral in GWI and GWII (in GUARD for the latter), rooting for the League, and was on Aegis' side in GWIII. As much as I hated WUT then, I sorely miss them now. CN desperately needs to have two rival factions again, it's so dull without them.

I wish we'd used 96. Ah well, this one's certainly not bad.

I was nuked five times in WotC. I've never launched a nuke, as I haven't had nukes in three years.

I'm at nearly 20 rerolls now, only about 5 of which were for resources. My nation name is rarely the same (I've used goddammit twice as a nation and once as a ruler, no other repeats), but I typically keep enragedlobster or some variant thereof as my ruler name. I've only had three nations in my memory that didn't have a variant of enragedlobster as the ruler.

I'm Lawful Evil IC and Chaotic Neutral IRL, with sprinklings of LE and NG.

What about those of us that joined during?

Did you really have to pick the most depressing name possible? Four years...goddamn.

Until I quit CN again. In all likelihood, that'll be between two months and a year, depending on how interesting CN is during that time.

I joined July 23rd, 2006, during GWI.

Goddammit, now is going to become as terrible and overused as

\m/ was never "yours." No one in this new \m/ founded or ever led \m/. You're just a bunch of bitter ex-\m/ members trying to steal its fame for the merger of your two (mediocre at best) alliances.

So not disbanding and fighting through years of second-class treatment to get to where we are makes MK sellouts, while giving up instantly, joining safe alliances, then coming back once people stopped caring about you makes \m/ a quality bunch of people. Makes sense. I will agree with your placement of GOONS, GS, and TPF, however.

Then why stick with the \m/ name and symbolism?

Happy anniversary, Umbrella.

originality itp

I'm merely noting flaws in CSM's argument that \m/ was revived for any reason other than notoriety. I hold no love for the memory of \m/.

The exact same friends and community could have been achieved by merging Bel Air and Rage Co and calling it a day. Instead, you chose to resurrect the name of a long-dead alliance solely for notoriety.

\m/ was a terrible alliance two years ago, yet this somehow manages to shame its memory. Congratulations. At least now people will finally shut the **** up about \m/ disbanding.

I figured the latter is implied.

1,124 days over about 13 or 14 nations. I first joined to help form the RIA in July of 2006. More importantly than 1,000 days, three years passed last month.

I was RIA gov at the time and was likely the biggest UjP sympathizer in the alliance. I still wish we'd won and I still hold a grudge against TPF for screwing us over. In retrospect, GOONS are the only casualty of that war that I miss, but I'll be damned if that wasn't a major goddamn casualty. The time after UjW would have been far more interesting with GOONS as the top dog, as opposed to the horrifically boring year and a half we got.
