Skippy

Pull the other one Congrats guys!

[quote name='Tygaland' timestamp='1294798248' post='2572502'] It was me that found it. I find that when searching for pictures it helps to be very specific. However, I was surprised to find that picture. [/quote] Well this is a little less surprising, compared to if it actually was Bzelger...

[quote name='Tygaland' timestamp='1294740954' post='2571883'] Bzelger added text and a platypus to an already existing picture of a white tiger dominatrix. [/quote] I don't know what's worse, the fact white tiger dominatrix exists, or the fact Bzelger found it.. [quote name='Steve Buscemi' timestamp='1294738781' post='2571875'] We would be a block if you joined us. [/quote] It'd be somewhat more of a merger wouldn't it?

Tyga, who made your sig? They should be shot, court-martialed, and then shot again. [quote name='Chief Savage Man' timestamp='1294475793' post='2568469'] If invited, would STA join: PB SF CnG Synergy [b]Sirius[/b] AZTEC Doomhouse [b]iFOK[/b] [/quote] I'm not sure why you listed Sirius, as it is a blue unity bloc, STA isn't on blue, and I doubt they plan to move from white any time soon. It'd be like asking them to join NOIR. Also, iFOK isn't a bloc last I checked

Sad to see Boris, good luck wherever you go.

Solid lineup Polar. o/

No surprise here, but it's not that this treaty really meant something.

Not official enough, needs a bigger banner. o/ Athens

Oh I remember you! Welcome back

But I like Politician and Manis In other news, GATO Great lineup!

[quote name='Fernando12' timestamp='1294103454' post='2562458'] Color Unity? Yay!? You're right, not shooting to control the world is the problem with Sirius. Blue team unity? You're really more dividing blue than uniting it. Blue anything will never be relevant without NpO, so what's the point? Blue team unity is not really a good rallying cry, it's boring tbh. [/quote] Frankly, we're happy with what we have, we see the point in it, and it's not doing any harm to us. If you change the persepective, I find your alliance's theme to be quite boring (and naturally, it's one of the most unoriginal), and isn't exactly doing much to be relevant to the grand scheme of things. Obviously you have your own perspective on that, and find your AA to be relevant to your interests, otherwise you wouldn't be running it. It's all a matter of perspective Fernando, now run along to the next thread that you don't agree with.

[quote name='Andre27' timestamp='1294016830' post='2561283'] Wasn't that the war of the coalition. One of those wars which should have been handled better by both sides. Difference in lineup is correct, but that shouldn't matter should it? Or was C&G strength based solely on MK? As i recall ODN joined since the War of the Coalition. [/quote] Yes, that is another name for the war Regardless of how the war was handled, the C&G bloc itself fought on the side that essentially lost that war. ODN though, fought on the Coalition side. The line-up is quite different, even not taking MK into account. The only two Affiliations left in the bloc compared with the line-up in that war, are Athens and LOST.

[quote name='Andre27' timestamp='1294002109' post='2561081'] Even for those of us who do not dislike the C&G alliances such a civil war would be most interesting to observe. Up until now C&G and allies always battled with odds stacked in their favor, many would like to see how they'd do with more equal odds. [/quote] Not every war was stacked in C&G's favour Andre, do remember the [url="http://cybernations.wikia.com/wiki/War_of_the_Coalition"]NoCB war.[/url] However the C&G of today has a somewhat different lineup than the C&G of then Congrats LOST, and down with Athens!

[b]Alliance Awards[/b] Alliance of The Year: Umbrella Best Military: Based off BiPolar, I'd say TOP. Hell one of their nations managed to knock off 40K NS off me, when 4 other alliances only managed 10K combined. Best Rookie Alliance: Biased vote, but I am really happy at how TIO's made it through this year. Better than I thought we would. Best Flag: Bias: TIO ( D34th), unbiased vote goes to STA Most Active Alliance: NPO or MK Most Honorable Alliance: Going to give this to the alliances who stood by NEW in the recent war. All of them. Best Diplomatic Team: NPO, we've got 16 (possibly more now) freaking diplomats on our boards, and they're all active. Best Economic System: Umbrella Best Recruiting Staff: GATO Best Propaganda Staff: N/A Scariest Alliance: Nobody's really done anything since BiPolar to warrant as "scary." Best Alliance Growth: NPO Best War Flag: Athens Best Forums: NPO Alliance most likley to suceed in 2011: I think NPO'll step back up to the mark, and play a far bigger role in CN. Most Immoral Alliance: GOONS [b]Player Awards[/b] Player of the Year: Can't really say any one player stands out. Most Powerful Player: Any well connected leader can be, no vote. Best Alliance Leader: Tygaland, still delivers Most Controversial Player: Ramirus Maximus of course. Best Player Sig: Anything Scorponok makes. Best Player Avatar: Lady Pain (Laura) Best OOC forum poster: Haven't read much of the OOC forums, no vote. Nicest Player: Sentinal Funniest Player: Mastabadey, no exceptions. Most Active Player: From what I've seen, I'd go with Sentinal, even when she claims to be inactive, she's still always on IRC. Player Most Likely To Achieve Greatness in 2011: It literally could be anyone who steps up and creates something interesting, that expands into a global event that changes the game.

[quote name='Mr Damsky' timestamp='1293686660' post='2557955'] I really hope you told your allies about this, TIO. [/quote] Yes, we did Damsky. Thanks for your concern.

Very happy to see this, and glad my cunning plan fooled a couple of those expecting the OoO o/ NPO o/ TIO Rogal Dorn

Congrats guys! GATO

[quote name='KingEd' timestamp='1293415810' post='2554867'] While I'm not privy to their inner workings; Blocs work in such a way that everyone in said bloc has to be fully committed to the Bloc, and in a sense put the Bloc above the rest. When NATO declared neutrality in the NEW-DF war, albeit the correct course of action, and FEAR declared war in defense of their ally, a weakness was exposed in the bloc. Not only ideological but commitment wise - "If TFD gets hit, we go in" (NATO) or something along those lines. That showed that TFD > IC for NATO, and thus making the bloc irrelevant tbh. So yeah, anyone with a brain saw this coming. A disunited Bloc is no Bloc at all. Trust me, I've been part of blocs that have crumbled: Agora, 1V, Continuum, TRC. Time and time again it was because of overall disunity. Am I close? [/quote]Pretty much this, when I saw these events happen, I assumed that the bloc would be cancelled. Good luck to all involved, etc.

I'd have to say though, AcTi has barely recovered from the last war, you're hardly in the position to run a protectorate bloc. Good luck, you'll need it with this. [quote name='flak attack' timestamp='1293089607' post='2551368'] Most of us didn't even notice it happen. [/quote] Actually, most of you did your usual bit on expressing your thoughts on the controversy involving that war. Maybe not you as an individual, but quite a few of the usual MK crowd did.

FEAR gained +10 respect points, FEAR now well ahead of PC and iFOK!

[quote name='Keve69' timestamp='1292878390' post='2546964'] Greetings to digiterra from the Imperial throne of myself, [/quote] Disclaimer required, TIO and IAA are not in any way associated with this announcement. That being said, nicely handled Keve

You know, I haven't agreed too much with MP on the OWF, but with this, I agree entirely.

You guys remind me of somebody..... Oh yes, this guy. [img]http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_29i8goE7m18/SwONVtA-MWI/AAAAAAAAAAY/Z8CiSor6hAE/s1600-R/buzzkill.jpg[/img]

You've made me a very happy Skippy. Now we get to see if NEW's allies are worth their salt.

[quote name='Timmehhh' timestamp='1292766682' post='2544381'] Not very original, this has been done before. [/quote] And yet, the desired effect was met. Success!
