  1. while baccon is bad for the body it is also tasty, thus i shall remain baccon neutral. no. yes. maybe? probably both.
  2. Yes. We were ignorant but also sorry about it. I was simply making an observation about what seemed to be true at the time.
  3. In a way KoN was an unaligned alliance as in they had no treaties. Just an observation.
  4. This whole thing is rather confusing as it is so hard to know what the truth is. There was no motivation for Athens and FoB to declare war on KoN, no motivation whatsoever and thus calling it a war and not a tech raid is wrong. Or did Athens and FoB do it to isolate MASH? See my point?
  5. you missed the point now. resistance was sought after although abstinence was an option.
  6. http://www.cybernations.net/all_war_information.asp also as i pointed out earlier, there are at least four reasons why it was a tech raid and not war, so you should remove the "'s
  7. Good point. We could easily have made up something about spying going on and used that as a CB and curbstomp Ni! but that's not what happened and that's not how we do things. Instead out of boredom some guys decide to raid and do so with just ground attacks knowing that there's going to be more material loss than gain. They thought it was OK to raid KoN because they had no treaties (as it seemed at the time, I am fully aware of the treaty that was "found" later), but international outrage became KoNs ally so suddenly the raid wasn't acceptable any more and suddenly we were at fault. Some people just don't understand raiding and think it's about stealing. It's really more about all that other stuff such as having fun because simply building infrastructure isn't fun at all and also gaining casualties and so on. Well anyways we're all very very very very very very sorry that we upset the moral-glands of so many people but more importantly we're sorry we raided the Knights of Ni!. My theory is that most people don't really care about KoN as much as they care about dumping their boredom on us by saying we're bad for raiding. So many who say we're bad for doing what we did are susceptible of committing the same crime we committed: easing ones boredom. Also, if anybody claims this was actual war and not a raid, they are wrong. First of all, we would have posted a DoW. Second, what could our motive be? There was no motive, KoN isn't that strategically significant. Third, if this was an actual war we would have talked to our allies about this and they would have probably then stopped us anyways. Fourth, our sense of morality forbids us to fight a war without a CB. The reps and such are nobodys concern until KoN and Athens decide to release details about it.
  8. Congratulations on your existence Der and friends. You are the failiest fail and i like you.
  9. I wasn't even there to authorize it, i was away due to some complex health issues (OOC: RL took me for the weekend) and I was unconscious. Mistakes occur and i wouldn't have made that mistake because i have learned the rules earlier. However that is not an excuse and i am sorry for what my friends have done. I do not impose my moral values on others and would not say that one thing is more right than another. Therefore i cannot say that what we did was wrong but i cannot say it was right either. We did it, and people showed us it is unacceptable. We apologize and adapt. End of story.
  10. If you find a raid you're free to raid in my opinion. However we would encourage you to engage in only two ground attacks followed by an offer of peace and to have respect for who you raid. I won't deny you that. However others would not like it if you find a large alliance (in this case something above 15-30 members or who have a treaty) and you would apparently, like us, have to conform with the social norms that exist, just like we have. We do not in any way claim that we are the only ones with a right to raid. However even now we are preparing to seize all raids. We are bigger but we sent peace after the raid. The intention was not to curb stomp. We did not intend to destroy or annihilate.
  11. That should be obvious from the post i made earlier. Sorry for forgetting that there is a limit to the size of an alliance you can raid (according to the social standards of the global community), a lesson we have now learned.
  12. I have nothing to hide. Any raids i participate in are public.
  13. This comment made me laugh a bit. Who on Bob would give infra the same value as such convictions that war should be fun and not used to deny others sovereignty or existence? We made a poor attempt to create a new standard where fun > infra and when KoN had no treaty it was presumed OK to raid. Basically we didn't see any difference in a small alliance or a big alliance (small being 15 members and big being 39). No treaties equals they can be raided. A significant amount of raids go on all the time, some with probably lower standards than we have (ie. using something other than ground attacks). So when it comes to raiding, yes we do it but not for the reasons so many claim. It is not for material gain. It is for the sport. What we did not realize before today was that we present a threat to the general feeling of security on Bob with our disregard for infra when we raid on such a large scale. We are being violated as the global community forces us to seize our raiding. We accept this limit, we were there to test it. The world had forgotten that limit. I do not want to justify our actions but I wish that people would not judge us for what we do but how we do it. Somebody will undoubtedly use my comment to criticise us further but so be it. We have learned our lesson and that's it. Sorry.
  14. Radio Silence, unlike our policy, meant no speaking whatsoever.
  15. So it's come to this. i've decided to make this post. i must remind people that many of these opinions might be a bit flawed because i rather often mix things up. if you have a 5 even if you think you should have a 6 or 4 just don't care what i put there. i have not proof read this and it is very likely that there are errors and all that jazz so don't kill me for this B) happy reading TOP 5 - you're at the top but that's about it really. MHA 5 - you don't seem to be doing much so i really can't give you much good or bad. Sparta 9 - i've always liked you guys. NpO 7 - you make me feel strange. but for some reason i like you. it has to do with how you're not what you were intended to be in the first place which means you have evolved. IRON 4 - bleh, i haven't seen much from you and i have bad memories although i also have a bad memory so i'm not entirely sure what those bad memories are. but i just know i dislike you a bit. ODN 6 - you're really cool guys from what i've seen and i look forwards to a good future. FARK 7 - you guys make me smile. good graphics and stuff i like. GPA 5 - well you're neutral so i'll be neutral about you. NPO 3 - there are things you've done that i do not approve. there's some hope for you though. FOK 5 - idk much about you really although i've seen you guys on irc every now and then but that's not enough. MK 9 - i'd give you a ten, but you raided me about two years ago and i hold grudges forever!!! lol. no. i like you a lot. WTF 5 - what the force does i do not know, they come out so seldom they barely show. TOOL 4 - i remember something bad from somewhere but i cannot specify what it was so meh you get a slight negative. TDO 5.1 - well a friend of mine joined you guys i think but other than that i don't have much to say. VE 6 - you guys seem to be a bit more than ok in my book although i don't speak to you guys that often really. Legion 4 - well you've been around a while but that doesn't make up for the bad stuff. RoK 5 - there's not much to say but you're ok. GATO 5 - there's about as much good as there is bad with you. it's not that i don't know you or anything just that i added the good to the bad and the sum was 5. CSN 6 - we finally passed you and thus you get a bonus xD Athens 11 - WE TOTAL PWNAGES AND BREAK SCALES LLAMA LLAMA Gremlins 8.5 - i've always admired you guys a bit MCXA 5 - lolwut i haven't seen you much, in all my time in existance you've never had an impact on me. UPN 4 - somehow somewhere something went wrong. i'd like to be more specific.. however i can't. RIA 7 - i think you guys are rather likeable STA somewhere between 7 and 8 but not quite 7.5 either. really you get 7 and 8 at the same time. i like that thing Tyga posts so often. Invicta 4 - well i don't dislike you that much but i still kinda do. RnR 6.3 - i kinda like you guise MASH 5 - not much to say other than you're ok NADC 3 - no comment. you handled something poorly. WAPA 5 - you guys seem alright NV 6 - there's a guy in your alliance that i used to look up to so that has to mean something. NSO 5 - really, i have to admire your evil efficiency while at the same time i think that evil efficiency is... well... evil. neither good nor bad really. NEW 8 - i really think you fought well in the last war however i haven't heard from you since. MA 6 - if i remember correctly i like you guys :S Umbrella 7 - you can stand under my umbrellah ellah eh eh eh under my umbrella yeah yeah plus you're a bit like the black team grämlins and generally i like you a bit more than i like some other likeable alliances. FAN 7 - i haven't spoken to you guys enough to really have that much of an opinion, however when i've spoken with somebody from FAN it has been good. that alone would give you a 6. however, despite NPO trying to kill you you stayed alive which is most admirable so you get a 7. LoSS 5 - i really don't know you that well. TSO 3 - meh NATO 5.3 - there's something about you guys. and i once almost joined you. however you should not just go by what's rational, sometimes you need to trust your instincts. Nordreich 5 - well this case is too confusing for me to comment on. GR 9 - <3 just <3 Vanguard 9 - hi there GOD 7 - you're cool FoB 10 - you have a bunch of great guys and i think you're my favorite alliance right now. PC 8 - you get one <3 and a hug Valhalla 4 - no GGA 5 - you're not that bad TPF 4 - you say mean things The Brain 8 - i really like your theme and i talked in your chan a few hours ago and you always make my day a little better. DT 8 - my favorite guy in digiterra is in here somewhere Menotah 7 - i never could spell your name right but i really like you despite some strange forces trying to make us dislike each other :/ but really i care for you. Ether 8 - hehehe i like you guise <3
  16. Questionnaire: Is there an academy? Yup. It's excellent. What color are you? Aqua <3 and somewhat Black too. Do you have new member aid? What about nation boost programs? Yeah we have that. Who are your "closest" allies? CnG bloc. And i'd say they're closest not "closest". What makes your alliance different from all the other alliances out there? We're Athens. What "benefits" does your alliance offer? All of them. What size are you? Small enough. How active is your membership? High. Why should I join your alliance? Because we like you.
  17. o/ oh how the kids grow up i'm your #1 fan guise keep it up
  18. In a way, what you're saying gives me the idea, that wars should be very profitable, especially if you are a small nation attacking a bigger one. If there needs to be a realistic explanation to this, you could base it on how economies always improve as war unites the people of a nation and productivity rises.
  19. No. I might approve of this if the game would be completely restructured. These are some changes that are required: 1) Make the update occur every 25 or 23 hours, so that players from all over the world would be able to be on at update at least once in their lives. 2) Make the game realistic. There's so much into this, beginning from the fact that governments don't just give bonuses like +1 happiness, it is impossible to specify all those things here. Drawing from #4 in this list, a good suggestion would be to make population counts and infra to be separate. There is also the argument that this is just a game and it doesn't need to be realistic, however no game will ever be truly realistic so adding realism will not change the fact that this is a game. 3) Add alliances to the game, so that an alliance leader or leaders can be elected and ghosts can be kicked out, etc etc. 4) Make it so the game isn't all about numbers. 5) Restructure the war part of the game so it either includes tactics, or so that soldiers don't just pop out of thin air and die instantly in wars that occur over a period of 10 minutes around the update once every day. All these things need to be done for me to consider my opinion of a reset remotely possible because implementing any of these things would require a reset. I know all these things probably shouldn't be brought up because of the "if you don't like it stop playing" but as with alliances i refuse to run from the problem and require of myself to stay and fix the problems, which is difficult as suggestions cannot be made if they have been turned down once. Perhaps what is required is even a game which one might refer to as CN2 or CN (not beta). So, in a manner of speaking, as the game mechanics lack, the time spent on it all makes up for it and makes it worth while and thus it is ridiculous to ask for a reset. Bleh i probably said some things that are very bad and sorry for that and so on and so forth but really this concerns me a lot.
  20. Nation name: Superhate Nation ruler: *classified* strength: cannot reveal this it is secret military information infrastructure: can't remember technology: almost 4k already yay past alliances: ACDC BDC NPO CB DE Athens Reason of joing the "destroy the spartans" alliance: I wish to continue the Peloponnesian War and do so in secrecy.

  22. Oh, I somehow mistook this for an IC forum as I was linked here and somehow misread which forum I was in. Well anyways this is what I replied:
