  1. There's always the lolcommies on orange. The International. GL with your search.
  2. Debates like these all hinge on some abstract morality...much like in 1774 the height of honor in war was wearing a bright red shirt, standing in a line and shooting at the enemy 50 yards away...if you didn't do that, well you were a despicable dishonorable !@#$%^&... however, the dominate force in the world at that time chose to define that as the moral form of combat because that is what they were good at. Much like using nukes used to be taboo in CN...then one alliance came around and took the position that they would not only use nukes as a last resort defensively, not even just defensivly, they would first strike nuke in every war, even on offense. Thanks to them, it's now the standard. this debate basically is about who can you sanction. the only reason not to start a sanction war is cause, well, perhaps the enemy is in a better position politically to beat you at it...or cause the potential blowback on the moral front is worse than the gain (hence this debate). We all live in a world where the opinions of others, like this thread, matter. Yet, what is assumed to be moral and just and right is ALWAYS what supports the current dominate force. IT IS ALWAYS THAT WAY. Only minority rule tortures, and spies on it's citizen population. In this case, only a threatened power looks to open a new front in the war by sanctions. TOP is gonna lose by sheer force of MASSIVE ATTACK...depending on their end goal, fractioning into 300 one man alliances is a possible tactic...perhaps it would help them survive better, perhaps not...but it's an idea. just talking it up i guess. really there is no possible moral judgement in war. morality is a creation of civilization, and war is not civilized. i live by a set of principals in my daily life, in civilization, but the second my life is challenged, you point a gun at me, all bets are off and i will kick you in the nuts as a first tactic. That said, the whole point of my post was to lead up to a moral judgement on this discussion. It is immoral to open a new front on a war if you're winning. It is always moral to do such if you are losing. In this case, no, you can't sanction that dude.
  3. There were over 10k nations on the Karma side at one point. I'm pretty sure some of them were idiots...heck, I'd bet over 90% are idiots...but then, that's pretty much par for alliances imho. This being an OOC area, the idea that one side of this conflict is somehow "better" than the other is just ridiculous and anyone that thinks so is a freaking moron. In Character, yeah, this is my third time fighting NPO and having lost the first two, man I hate thoes !@#$%^&*. But seriously, OOC? Grow up dude.
  4. Lets hope this merger goes better than the last one ;p
  5. In a week? If i can remember for that long...
  6. lame charter. edit - though i do approve of the irc requirement. that's a win.
  7. Congrats...on a good entry in the longest charter competition.
  8. Transparent. It seems now. Sad this sort of thing used to pass as popular reality.
  9. i know i'm not supposed to comment, but linguistically, you can't resign "to" something. it's "from". once you "signed" to join. then you "REsign" to leave. like visiting your brother in prison. sign in, sign out. just saying clarification needed.
  10. I am looking for two people interested. Deal works like this...I send you three million, you need to have a middleman to get me 50 tech within 48 hours. Will only work with people in reputable alliances who've been there over 30 days. Am looking for long term deals. Meaning, I keep sending you money every 10 days, you keep getting tech sent to me. Please contact me in game.... http://www.cybernations.net/nation_drill_d...ation_ID=106580 Thanks.
  11. WOW...pay well and the deals are INSTANT OK people, stop msging me now.
  12. Works like this...I send you three million, you find a middle man to send me 50 tech. Would prefer long term deals with repeat sellers. Must be from a reputable alliance. Contact me in game. I may be slow to respond. http://www.cybernations.net/nation_drill_d...ation_ID=106580
