Wait a minute! You're not Vladimir!
Is it too long for you to work with, then?
Or are you just making excuses for your lack of inclination to do an effective parody?
And here I thought better of you...
Ok, that was a lie.
-
You gotta admit, Tyga;
You're both right on this one.
-
Congrats.
But your espanol has caused me to mark you all for death.
Have a nice day.

I meant directly, chron.
AH.
Well, regardless, don't you think it's a particularly noteworthy piece of trivia? Surely that merits as much of a mention, as say...New Reverie's First and Second Senate runs, don't you think?
-
Considering that cascaded into GWII, I dont think you can say that was its only impact with a straight face.Considering that beyond bringing FARK to CN the NoRway incident had no real consequences on CN I'm inclined not to include it in the history.And if you can...Well...Damn. I wont denigrate your thread with biting comments.
-
Again, I don't need an essay to get a point across. Saying alot of words doesn't make you look any smarter.
I can attest to this.
Ive been trying for years, but it just doesn't work. Trial and error are one's friends.

At least a lot of the drama is more out in the open rather than shared between the elite minority who have real access to backroom information. It makes the game more fun imo.
So...Would you say the value of gumption has gone higher or lower in this atmosphere?
Considering good cajones were in short supply during Pax Pacifica, Im sure they would be considered highly valuable, but in the present scenario you've just described, it seems like balls would be considered more valuable since they'd actually be able to get stuff done.

Another terrible essay, that said nothing more than the obvious, and ventured into nonsense.
Add it to the collection.

Your ability to make arguments about unrelated topics is unparalleled. And, for your information, you are most certainly not the bigger man.
Considering I publicly stated my intent to call out intellectual dishonesty where I saw it, I have something of an obligation of honor to follow through with my word. Moreover, I wasn't making any off-topic arguments. I have no intention of derailing Ragashingo's thread.
What's more, once again, I will not bring up your reading comprehension capacities by pointing out that I did not say I was "the BIGGER man", merely "A bigger man" than insulting someone over aforementioned reading comprehension deficiencies.
We now return you to your original programming about the lessons I learned from the Karma War:
A lot of folk were only sticking around so long as to See the NPO fall. Im not really surprised by that, but I am disappointed that I won't be able to debate with them on the forums for the moment (As Im assuming the majority will return).

You're making this whole fuss because my brief post was just arguably sycophantic and somehow jarring? How lame. I guess you're trying to beat out RV for the biggest troll in my topic hu? Like RV you aren't worth responding to any longer. Come back when you want to have a real debate instead of trolling me over issues of negligible importance.
Also much thanks to Tyga and Vilien for backing me up.
You said you wouldn't respond to me anymore in an earlier thread, as well (before continuing to do so). Is that pointless chest-thumping supposed to be impressive?
...Huh? That...What?Beginning your argument with an unrelated insult, a classic move from the Chron School of Trolling.
Don't worry, Im a bigger man than to insult someone over his reading comprehension skills.So his post wasn't sycophantic, but yet his post was arguably sycophantic. Good work there.
I disagree. If you want, I'd be more than happy to take up this discussion with you elsewhere. But I feel we should not, at risk of a thread derailment.No, it doesn't actually.Needless to say, I would find the idea that anyone learned anything of more than personal relevance on anything to be kinda ridiculous. I have a higher opinion of most folks than to assume that they would be so blind...Unless you were in the NPO. In which case, Im sure there were many epiphany moments all around.

Raga's post was in no way sycophantic, he wasn't tripping over himself to agree with Drostan. He simply observed that he found the post to be "good". The fact that he did not take the time to elaborate more on his feelings in already long post does not make his assessment sophomoric.
Huh.
No one takes you seriously. Why should I? Well, I suppose its the fact I feel starved for attention, so I'll just dismiss your post;
1) Of course his post wasn't sycophantic. I actually pointed out that only Raga's response to Drosdan was *arguably* so. In fact, the rest of Raga's post was quite a good example of a brief, yet intelligent series of responses to post. Only Drosdan's quote and the accompanying "thumbs up" act were a glaring exception to an otherwise wonderful to read post.
2) I didn't say his assessment was sophomoric. I said the "good stuff" summary that Raga responded to was sophomoric. And is frankly jarring and annoying.
What thread have you been reading?
-
Succinctness does not equate to intellectual dishonesty.
True. But given the context of the quoted post, and the rest of Raga's, it becomes quite evident that "brevity" would be a more accurate way to describe what Raga was going for in that response, rather than succinctness.
And while brevity for the sake of brevity does not make intellectual dishonesty, starting off with an extraordinarily vague response, followed up by well thought-out responses to other posts within the same post indicate that Raga was clearly not intending to do anything more than give a blind, arguably sycophantic, response to Drosdan.
Raga is clearly capable of explaining his thoughts in an articulate, and skillful manner. That he did not, and opted for the sophomoric "stuff" quote indicates dishonesty.
-
Heh. Where was I dishonest?Good post.
For anyone curious, just click the link to the post, and it becomes evident that Raga simply played the yes man in that reply to Drosdan's post.
Stuff like that, whereby you give someone a thumbsup with no reason, but give other folks the "dignity" of a properly cited response, is in fact, intellectually dishonest.
Mind sharing what was so good about the post with the rest of the class? I provided more reason for why I like his post than you did, Raga. I would say that, once again, I've followed through with my standards.
-
I don't believe I learned anything from this war aside from what I already knew rejoining CN, as well as the general behavior and mindsets of the OWF posters.
I'm happy to have made y'alls re-acquaintance.
Ah, Drostan, your posts are incredibly humorous to me. That spin-and-drop response to RV's post, and Raga's faithful backing you up was very amusing. A++ quality stuff.
In all seriousness, though. Raga has every right to be blindly hateful of the NPO. One of the few with any logical right, outside of C&G (and of many within Frostbite). I just wish he were a little more intellectually honest in his arguments, instead of being so dogmatic all the time.
-
Yes, considering how you have guerrilla camps and barracks, plus that Pentagon, the chances of me getting any tech from this are nil, and I knew that going into. So me going in to raid tech really just doesn't make any sense. I'm in it to blow you up, Sileath. Simple as that.
Hear that, Sileath?
He'll burn the sin from you in righteous fire!
Arent you lucky?
-
Harumph.
Leverage can't win. AirMe's so classy he defies the laws of physics with the sheer density of his...amicability (Ill be damned, thats an actual word)...You folk will never succeed.
It is a sad fate, but I don't believe Ronin has ever forgiven folks such as you. You are all just rogues. Just. And in all of AirMe's career, he has never hesitated to beat them down without mercy (mostly since thats the only fight he stands a chance in hell of winning).
-
You have it a little backwards. The goal of the First Great War, for the Orders, was to destroy LUEnited Nations. The Orders failed. The objective of LUEnited Nations was to survive. LUEnited Nations succeeded.
Were talking long-term here. His defined time frame.
If memory serves, and you follow your apparent definition of causes for disbanding alliances, the NPO did succeed in destroying LUE, so they still lost in the end.
Moreover, his definition of victory wasnt about the stated goals of the defeated, but moreso about foiling the objectives of the victors. So, once again, from that perspective the NPO won.
See, you're not debating my definitions here, you're trying to go after He who has no name's. So you would do better to discount my posts by trying to point out how *his* definitions are "a little backwards".
-
NPO's explicit stated objective in VietFAN was our annihilation.
That war is over. We still exist.
We win.
...I'm out of consolation prizes unless you like empty whiskey bottles, so sorry in those regards.
My point stands that this is another example in a long chain of events of NPO refusing to own up and admit that they are not invincible, and that once again people are hailing their "honorable fight and surrender" - when they should instead be holding Pacifica's feet to the fire for their attempt to again create what will inevitably be again exploited further down the road as "proof that NPO never actually lost the war".
That behavior of weaponized revisionism is an infamous hallmark in the history of Pacifican existence / belligerence, and the fact that it is blindly being allowed to slowly start building again is stupefying.
Objective of GWI was to destroy the Orders, or at the very least prevent them from coming back into power.
The NPO became #1 again mere weeks after taking on the rest of the planet. Id say that they succeeded in their long term objectives, as well as foiled the CoaLUEtion's. So if thats your definition of victory, then thats one more crossed off the list nonetheless, still rendering Moo's arithmetic accurate.
-
Oh and you are? And what the hell does that have to do with anything anyway?
NSO - "Nobody says anything except us! All your opinions are irrelevant! HURR DURR".
I used to be NPO military High Command. War Council, back when they had it. Had a pretty decent impact in my time there.
Big shot and stuff. Sileath used to be in the NPO.
What right do you have to talk about these terms, again?
Temporary military defeat for eventual complete tactical victory. I'd call that a win.So what do you call GWI, then? Im dying to know.
-
Very lenient terms, very generous settlement by Karma. It's difficult to believe that the attacks on the peace mode nations were removed, and I for one think that condition should have been removed only in favour of more tech - but oh well.
NPO should be very happy and thankful to the alliances fighting them, as I doubt I would be this generous.
The decom thing was added in it's place.
Whats more, you really have nothing to do with this subject. You're even more uninvolved than Sileath.
I mean, theres speaking from a position of total ignorance, and then there's your post. Just damn.
-
Mark this quote, just in case NPO ever comes back and calls this a victory.
PYT.
Touche`.
If I ever read anything to that effect, I will mock it mercilessly.
Just mercilessly.
-
GW1...
Us...
This.
That adds up to 3 where I'm from, Moo. I know NPO math changes from time to time, though, so no hard feelings.
To be fair, you'd need to perform feats of mental agility far surpassing anything Vladimir could even imagine to consider VietFAN anything but a crushing military defeat for FAN.
But as the saying goes "Logic isnt for everyone".

Well if you mean me, I certainly do not wish to be the center of attention in an afterthought argument that really doesnt matter. The war is over and much better times will commence. But if Big-Z wants to take a shot at me then I certainly am not going to keep what I got holstered. He can pull back anytime he wants and I will not continue forth. I am sure their friends in other alliances such as Alfred would rather they not take up silly arguments that can only harm them. What have I got to lose? After all I am just an ex-NPO nobody right?
It was a stupid thing for Big-Z to do. Why did he do it? Because GOD as a whole is pissed off about the terms but realized in the end just how many of the coalition wanted this war to end.
*Waves his hand dismissively*
No, no, no. I didnt mean you. Meant Xiphosis.
See, I dont really have that high of an opinion of GOD right now. Pretty big perpetrators of that fake debating thing I mentioned in that declaration I made a month or so ago.
Anyway, I too, am looking forward to folks trying to paint Frostbite as the new NPO in blatant ignorance of reality...I mean the New World Order.
-
My friend, please let him walk through that open door.
Any attention whore worth his...Well, not salt, but you know what I mean...Would know better than to try and become the center of attention in a subject of this magnitude.
Even if he tried to prevent it from ever occurring to begin with.
By the way, what does Xiphosis even have anything to do with failing at being important enough to influence these negotiations?

So you are saying they are a deciding factor, then?
Although to be fair, the bigger response would have been to just roll with the joke and say something like;
"Don't be hating. We're not so childish as to change our policies merely to spite RV"
See? Class-tastic.
