[Build up to the Karma War]

"Bud seemed like he was fishing for information so Xiph told him we were going to attack Continuum and then destroy Grämlins to see if it gets spread around."

And it did. Ironically, not because of bud, but because I told some "allies" (who are no longer allies, lol)

[An Upstarts Guide]

I wonder what it'd be like if people who took over in big alliances went scouting for friends among smaller upstarts... I think it'd be a lot more interesting, anyway.

[Being a Diplomat: suprising companionship]

Diplomat work is fun until you get to the higher levels of stuff. I miss the days when I could delegate serious drama off to my superiors.

[An Upstarts Guide]

It's just for leaders. No alliance ever went far when retarded leaders talked to much >_>

[The True Face of the Karma Coalition]

Hey Veng how're you I'm fine. Dwitty says hi. Also, hi Gus!

[Questions for the mods]

Why do you always mess with game mechanics during or right before GWs?

I wouldn't call it "messing with game mechanics" but "fixing problems and continuing game development" instead. Big wars tend to really stress test everything including game mechanics, and often during these times of peak traffic issues pop up that need to be corrected immediately. Unfortunately/Fortunately, whichever way you see it, game development and bug fixes can't always be scheduled around in-game politics. Granted all of the changes made recently are pretty minor so it shouldn't be outcome changing for anyone.

That's not what I mean. If I recall correctly, wonders came right after UJW, instant anarchy got removed right before GW3, the nuke rule got changed for UJW (24 hour limit), and just various changes to the war machine either right before GW's or right after.

Just wondering why. It's something I've noticed over the years playing this. Is it for amusement, unintentional, wha?

[The Moment of Victory]

God, if you're the best spin doctor the Hegemony has, they really need to open an Academy or something, you're rubbish at this.

[Second Issue]

Yes yes yes yes yesssssssssss.

[GPA Declares Neutrality in war]

Yup. Shocking.

[A Brief History of Hegemony]

Illuminati was one of my wars with CDT tacked on so they could 'prove their loyalty' - not a Continuum thing. Q just stepped aside and let them go.

[Evaluating Pig Rule in our Brave New Bob]

Will GOD and Karma then police the world sniffing out hypocrites of all shades and pounding them for their bad behavior?

No, just the ones who attack our MADP partners. Hell, I don't really care why you attack them; do it and burn. This shouldn't be a new concept to anyone.

Appreciating the moral panic/outrage though. A++ would read again.

[What the People Want, They Get]

We've been ultimately doing a lot of public polling on war decisions, it's one thing for peacetime coalition building and such, it's another situation where 1/2 of my members have been nuked for weeks. They get ultimate say in what we do in the end game. If they want reps, they're going to get reps.

[Evaluating Pig Rule in our Brave New Bob]

It was a Pacifican double-standard, no spinning about it. You can't !@#$%* about "espionage" when the greater CN public routinely views what he did in TWIPs every week - including Pacifica's allied masses. Pushing for and attacking OV over it was !@#$%^&*.

[Erm... did I read this right?]

Also, hi SF and TT. Mindless drones.

Hello irrelevant person with old grudges trying to be relevant after being ignored in public for having a dumb question and still remaining irrelevant and mostly unknown to anyone that matters I'm fine, how are you?

[Erm... did I read this right?]

I hear a lot of baaaaaaw.

[Why Announce Anything?]

Means if you level with people, tell the truth, don't act like a scumbag and have a reputation for not being a liar, you usually don't catch a lot of hell.

[Knowing when to walk away]

No argument here, on all counts.

[Why Announce Anything?]

The CN Forums aren't a problem to those on the level.

[Tattledog TMZillionaire]

Sounds like he got to you mate

[A middle ground for punishment?]

PZI's have been lifted in the past, so what would be the difference between a 1WZI or PZI'ing someone for a month and letting them off?

Seems like you're making a public promise to do it, then leaving it up to the peanut gallery.

[Sincerity or lack of it?]

*snorts*

I dunno, I use sarcasm even when I'm not trolling just to highlight my bitterness about certain stuff.

[Tour of Generals]

Would also be nice if you let people "Draw" by mutual consent similar to Yahoo! Pool games.

[Tour of Generals]

Could also be vastly improved with 1 turn per army. Juggling moving armies is unrealistic and frankly a bit of a pain.
