  1. In reference to this [url="http://forums.cybernations.net/index.php?showtopic=114892"]http://forums.cybernations.net/index.php?showtopic=114892[/url] I think this is the point at which the police are freed from the sewers.
  2. I eat people and harrass FBI agents from my jail cell, and this announcement makes me question your sanity.
  3. [img]http://www.nndb.com/people/543/000022477/hulk-pastamania-sm.jpg[/img] Whatcha gonna do, brother, when three wars are declared on YOU?
  4. I'm gonna buck the trend here and say that this couldn't have happened to a better alliance. (FAN preempt on NPO in 3... 2...)
  5. Oh, hey, I just came here to recruit you to NPO.
  6. [quote name='youwish959' timestamp='1318089899' post='2820857'] Weren't you the dude who surrendered from FAN? [/quote] No. I'm the guy who went from one of the largest nations to ZI about a dozen times throughout two wars for THE Order. You remember the guy who was #1 in casualties for a long time? That's me.
  7. [quote name='Schattenmann' timestamp='1318000229' post='2819697'] You mistake Arcades' motivations, he has no morals. [/quote] Spot on with that one. I merely delight in pointing out the swiftness in which people here lose their... [i]chutzpah[/i], let's say, when it comes down to armed confrontation.
  8. If Legion is such a terrible alliance, as I have heard so many of you say on these forums, why does it take so many of you to take them down? Couldn't the NSO, Tetris and that Japanese-themed (not that one, the other one. No, the OTHER other one) handle their business without the other two or three alliances that just declared? Or is this just a case of "we don't like x, so we trash talk them!" Now that the chips are down you lost your guts, have you? Good God I step away for a while... and you just don't change.
  9. [quote name='The Pansy' timestamp='1317370740' post='2812613'] Just moved to 14th whilst you were doing this gantanX moved to 5th too [/quote] You see me not even rollin', you hatin'...
  10. My oh my, you people will turn any thread into an NPO thread, won't you. /me reads the OP... OK, you win this time.
  11. [quote name='Litha Riddle' timestamp='1309649694' post='2747192'] Well at least you are honest about it. If anything this gives NSO notice on who's a cheap date. [/quote] Take it with a grain of salt. It's TORN, after all.
  12. [quote name='Dr Beefstupid' timestamp='1300479911' post='2669310'] Enough! Nobody is saying anything new. It's just recycled arguments for 70 pages. Here's the mind-numbing simplicity of it: Doomhouse is going to win this war either way. If NPO hides in peace mode until their lower-tier nations are all rubble, that's fine with us. If they want to come out of peace mode and fight, we'll reward their bravery with no terms. Saying we're whining is pathetic. If anything, having them come out of peace mode means more damage done to Doomhouse. Staying in peace mode just means we're blasting away their lowers with impunity. They can stay in peace mode or come out and fight. Either way we're going to enjoy this. Easy enough to grasp? Good. End. Thread. [/quote] That plan sure did work for the Gramlins.
  13. [quote name='Antonio Salovega VI' timestamp='1300239739' post='2666018'] As you say hindsight is not 20/20 but you would think that a former Emperor would have enough common sense to not fan the flamefest while the current emperor is trying to conduct diplomatic efforts. This is from 'TrotskysRevenge' date='09 May 2010 - 08:29 PM': But what can you expect when the current emperor, Clown Prince Chuckles, involves himself in this flame fanning exchange: [/quote] Keep on digging, eventually you'll hit one of my posts and then you'll have something worth showing the class. After that, why not explain to everyone how you were treated by our BR?
  14. [quote name='Ashoka the Great' timestamp='1300199088' post='2665553'] While I'm sure Doitzel will be flattered, you greatly overestimate his importance relative to the Emperors of the NPO/NpO. In most instances he was a cheerleader, not the man behind the scenes. Furthermore, I know that he went out of his way to find and apologize to many of those he had harried in the past. His apology was seen as sincere because it was made personally and then followed by very public actions that showed it to be honest. I don't know anyone who believes that Doitzel needs to atone for his past, because through his actions he has done so many times over. Got that right. And then there would be even more insincerity than we are confronted with now. Some are asking Pacifica, "Where is the apology for this or that alliance?" Others find the timing of this apology to be 'interesting' given that the NPO is under attack. Both indicate that this statement isn't to be believed, either because of its limited nature or the timing. You know, when NoR re-formed we approached many of the alliances we had wronged in the past, apologized and pledged to put the past behind us. Some believed us and some didn't. At least one responded by continually plotting against us, but now they're dead so we've moved on. (Nearly two years later, I hope those who didn't believe us will admit -- if only in private -- that they [i]may[/i] have been mistaken.) At the same time, people from other alliances came to us and apologized for their past actions against Nordland. Many frank discussions were had and now we count many former adversaries among our closest friends. We have signed agreements with Ragnarok, Valhalla and The Phoenix Federation; all alliances who had unpleasant run-ins with previous incarnations of Nordland. While I was Kaiser, we worked with both the International and the Libertarian Socialist Federation to ferret out spies and agents provocateurs who wanted to push us into a war that nobody wanted. (Do not infer from this that I am calling INT/LSF our `friends`. I believe they remain among those who continue to eye us warily.) And this may help to explain why I do not believe a single word of this apology. Any kind of public utterance is not merely addressed to one alliance or group of alliances, but by its very nature it is made to the entire world. It may be public, but it is also completely impersonal. As the audience grows, its individual impact diminishes. Within this thread we have seen Pacificans say what amounts to, "We don't care what the people in these public halls think or believe." If this is true -- and I believe it is -- then why make any kind of utterance here at all? It makes very little sense. Some of us have had the misfortune to see many forced or otherwise untrue apologies over the years. Some of us have been put in that position ourselves. "You will make an apology on the OWF," quoth the pack of bullies in an IRC room that may as well be called #starchamber, "lest you or those you care about should be destroyed." Pacifica has had many, many opportunities to apologize in private, where their words might be taken more seriously. However, when privately confronted with their past, I have seen how Pacificans truly feel. A chorus of, "We owe you nothing." A sarcastic, "Yes, we admit it. We're responsible for every bad thing that ever happened." All of which is followed by much pointing and laughing on their part. This is what happened with Nordreich. And our is hardly an isolated incident, since only a few days earlier Pacificans had posted (quite literally) pages of abuse targeted at an Ambassador from the Viridian Entente, all within VE`s Embassy. (This is precisely the kind of thing the NPO would have gone to war over in the past; a bit of irony that probably was not lost on those who saw it.) With many alliances, preconceived notions about aggression, attitudes and so on melt away through having a simple conversation. Not so with Pacifica. Just [i]try[/i] mending fences with them. What you will get in return is slander or, as in this case, honey-dripping lies. [/quote] This apology is sincere. There are quite a few people, a majority in fact, who believe this is overdue. Kingzog, you should know me well enough to know that if that first part was untrue, I would simply avoid the topic rather than answer. From the Emperor herself, and Cortath before her, with Moo before him: They all three are in agreement that this is warranted; not merely in this public forum, but in private conversations. I doubt rather strongly that you will find many Pacificans of any stripe who fault the Federation of Armed Nations for this attack. As to our treatment of VE in our embassy, I believe you're talking about SethB? Yeah, VE sending SethB to us would be like us sending me to FAN as our ambassador. You can call it a straight up noob move, but in reality it's not a noob move, it's another word with four letters, starts with a d, ends with a k, and you can fill in the blanks. VE at the time clearly wanted the reaction they received so they could use it as PR filler, as you just did. No one is that dense, unless they are being willfully obtuse.
  15. Been there; done that; didn't need to let the world know about it.
  16. [quote name='atrophis' timestamp='1296257882' post='2608104'] Protip: Sarcasm. I suggest you look it up. [/quote] Well don't I feel the burn.
  17. [quote name='atrophis' timestamp='1296257652' post='2608098'] Here to win the hearts and minds as always. [/quote] Protip: If you ain't done it already, don't think you ever will.
  18. [quote name='atrophis' timestamp='1296256858' post='2608073'] Still with these "Imperial Decrees"? *sigh* [/quote] Still as insightful as ever, I see.
  19. My my my. I go inactive and the world turns on its head. First we have VE declaring war over screenshots... which is suddenly an acceptable CB, whereas it wasn't when we did it. Now we have LUE 2.0 and other randoms preemptively attacking us... after they made such a big deal about it when it was done to them. I'm just glad that I stayed around to see all those feet go into all those mouths on the LUE 2.0 side.
  20. [quote name='bakamitai' timestamp='1291098984' post='2526399'] The New Pacific Order supports this house cleaning. [/quote] Gleefully; or at least my Hive-mind senses tell me this.
  21. [quote name='Cataduanes' timestamp='1290843744' post='2524493'] The fact you seem to be proud of that whole incident says a lot about you, no wonder your a well respected and much loved member of the CN community [/quote] Methinks the gentleman is lying through his teeth.
  22. You're a bit late to the party, as I already did this a few years ago. Worked pretty well, but all the commies just drift to non-commie alliances for protection. Hint: The trick is to amass a coalition right when the alliance forms, then go after them before they have protectors and 9 million MDPs.
  23. [quote name='AirMe' timestamp='1289925370' post='2514727'] Sorry, I had missed that reply. [/quote] I'll just wait here, holding my breath, for that apology from you and that iFOK guy...
