Imperial Decree - New Polar Order
AbysmalPea replied to AlmightyGrub's topic in Alliance Announcements (IC)
Where was the moral outrage when Sparta joined the NPO in several wars? Could it have something to with the fact that criticizing a block mate was not politically advisable? Soap box morality, you'll always be my favorite!! -

I guess I'm just behind the times, then. -

How long before Viking whips out the "Do something about it" line? -
You are a liar. We have no IRC channels.

Announcement From The Echelon
AbysmalPea replied to Chogsilanimous's topic in Alliance Announcements (IC)
Now on to all the others! -
In this time when new alliances effervescently spawn with shocking rapidity, I find it a prudent time to announce this declaration of existence of the You Are All Idiots™ alliance. We are currently lacking a flag, but I promise that it will be as flashy and/or professional a flag as can be found in other the other fine alliances that populate this world. Coincidentally, we are now accepting commissions for a flashy and/or professional flag by people who make flashy and/or professional flags for the generous price of my undying love and support. (Undying support may be canceled for any reason with no prior notice) This alliance is made possible by the alliances of Bob and by viewers like you. Feel free to ask questions so I can ignore all the sensible ones and reply to the ones that ask if I like cake.

Just chiming in to say that the people who made these terms are idiots. -
Wait we had an arcade before? This is news to me.

People still don't seem to realize that, in the long run, people forget about the "why" and only remember the "what." FAN was pretty much the butt of almost all jokes for a good couple of months after NPO resumed hostilities, yet they were hailed as they returned into the political arena. There was a huge amount of animosity toward ES's not-forced forced disbandment, and yet ElectronSponge has a huge cult of personality surrounding him. Now let's predict what will happen if NPO is kept in eternal war: NPO will most likely be the butt of almost all jokes for a good couple of months, and a huge animosity toward Moo's not-forced forced disbandment of several alliances. See where this goes? The great victory over the horrible NPO will only be remembered as such until someone with a political goal and a mind for propaganda comes along and spins you as the horrible monster. "But AbysmalPea!" you exclaim. "The NPO deserves eternal war or disbandment for all its horrible deeds!" Yes, but so did FAN. So did LUE. So did GOONS. So did \m/. The NPO wouldn't have survived for years if other alliances find this as acceptable behavior. And yet, all of these alliances are seen through only rose-tinted glasses. I still don't see how those presenting these terms can be so stupid as to not see the long-term ramifications. The NPO will be the least of their worries six months down the line.

UberSpion Seriously, how can someone be that bad at posting?

Imperial Decree from the New Pacific Order
AbysmalPea replied to TrotskysRevenge's topic in Alliance Announcements (IC)
History is always written by those with a self-serving agenda. Happiness, peace, and prosperity only last as long as it takes for a man with a political mind and a desire for power to join up and start wreaking havoc. And NPO is already getting pity points. Most Karma alliances certainly aren't handing out any, but those previously allied to the NPO continue to sympathize. -

The people who thought of these terms are stupid if they don't see the long-term political implications. You're pretty much guaranteeing pity points for NPO and alienating everyone who doesn't agree with you, all because NPO "deserves" punishment. "Deserves" is a dangerous word in the pragmatic world of politics, because when people look for the next alliance to bring to the chopping block, people don't remember why you did things; they only remember what you did. Holy !@#$ this is the best fakepost ever. -
How are you this bad at making threads?

Do you think the current war will/had solve anything
AbysmalPea replied to KenoDurkster's topic in Open World RP
It guaranteed a war in the near future. For this I am glad. -
"Of mankind we may say in general they are fickle, hypocritical, and greedy of gain." I think this quote applies quite well here.

A Notice from the Red Cross
AbysmalPea replied to ModusOperandi's topic in Alliance Announcements (IC)
I like how the first Red Cross thread was full of praise and support and this one is basically full of goons. No, seriously, it was a nice change. -
A Notice from the Red Cross
AbysmalPea replied to ModusOperandi's topic in Alliance Announcements (IC)
So basically what I'm getting out of this thread is that there were small alliances on red and now there's a bit more small alliances on red. Somehow this translates into breaking down the Iron Curtain even though it's more like a couple refugees hopping over the wall in places where the barbed wire hasn't been maintained. -

Will you want your account to stay active when you die?
AbysmalPea replied to Kevin McDonald's topic in Open World RP
If this game outlives me I will be shocked. But then again I could live fast, die young, and leave a corpse that doesn't care about browser games. -
Well I disagree.

Serious Question to Surrendered Hegemony Alliances...
AbysmalPea replied to Rush Sykes's topic in Open World RP
Mistakes? What are those? The mistake I learned from is not realizing how expensive nuclear war is. -
The problem with this is that many people actually are calling for some of these things to happen. I'll pull up a couple of posts myself if you can't find any examples.

The point of the justice system is rehabilitation and removal of unsavory elements in society, not vengeance. I have no qualms with Karma alliances removing their unsavory element, the NPO, from power. However, whether this war is just vengeance or karmic fate remains to be determined. After all, no surrender terms have been accepted as of yet.

But they're more powerful so they can do that.
