[quote name='JoshuaR' timestamp='1294992010' post='2574915'] We've had that flag ready and prepared for years! We finally get to use it! [/quote] Well then kudos to you all, quite inventive and amusing. Certainly the attention getter

Is that your real flag or did you just want to run it up the pole and see who saluted?

[quote name='BossCat' timestamp='1294991253' post='2574905'] Ah, the memories of Viet Nam... Gagh, well, I'm for the M14 or M2 Carbine. Then again, I'm also in favor of taking MFO to school to teach them the Creative Green Glass class too. [/quote] M14 or the M2 are indeed both superbly well suited for all you spy killing needs. Truly the best equipped children are using those toys instead.

[quote name='Jocko Homo' timestamp='1294990540' post='2574887'] Like the new Mattel M16. It goes BRAAP BRRA-A-A-AP BRAP BRAP. Just like Daddy's.[/quote] Well then that toy is a poor imitation of the real thing. It should go more like BRAAP BRRA-A-A-AP CLICK-JAM "&%^$!!!" *tap-rack-bang* CLICK-JAM-DOUBLE-FEED "MOTHER$%#^@#%$^@#*#!!!!!!!" PULL OUT MAGAZINE DISASSEMBLE UPPER RECEIVER CLEAR JAM REASSEMBLE BRAAP BRAA-A-A-CLICK-JAM "SON-OF-A-@#*%&!!!" GET SHOT IN THE HEAD WHILE TRYING TO CLEAR STOPPAGE.

[quote name='mpol777' timestamp='1294984432' post='2574756'] No. We received no contact from MFO either before or after they launched their terrorist attack against us. [/quote] In complete and total agreement with WC here. We have missed mpol and FAN announcements as of late and are quite glad to see a return of that classic style we all have come to know and love. Modspeed FAN!

Truly this is saddening to the heart witnessing the end of an epic era of history. Truly all the world shall mourn as orange this day.

Congratulations, onward to the next 90. Good luck.

A very happy birthday you old sons of guns!

[quote name='KainIIIC' timestamp='1294783442' post='2572283'] Will this Alliance include Empire of the North? [/quote] An excellent question , and hope to see this Good luck to you all!

Wow, hell hath indeed frozen over. This is indeed a surprise. Glad to see this, congratulations to our dear friends in The Phoenix Federation and their new allies in the Siberian Tiger Alliance

Sad to hear Boris, I wish you and your fellow Krynn members good luck in the future!

[quote name='BamaBuc' timestamp='1294590552' post='2569768'] Haha, for some reason my RL friends think the sarcastic "this will end well" is hilarious. [/quote] [quote name='Felix von Agnu' timestamp='1294599302' post='2569883'] I've wanted to say 'Not accept' in conversations before, but I always stop myself. [/quote] [quote name='The Corrupt Teacher' timestamp='1294639258' post='2570827'] I use what I learn from CN all the time. When someone complains about something I do that I don't care about I just reply "So do something about it." [/quote] [quote name='Tarikmo' timestamp='1294590698' post='2569769'] I have used Sponge's "No that's dumb go away" [/quote] Haha, thats awesome, will have to use those some time. I know I have used "lines being drawn" in regards to a coworker quitting before. Also once blurted out "Did you Polar really too stupid to read?"

I would happily extend an offer or Avalon's graphics services, however currently as well ourselves that department is still in training. So from one to another with a similar situation, good enough job on the graphic, good luck improving future ones, and congratulations on the milestones. Keep up the good work. Cheers!

Standard tech deals have been drifting towards $3M/50 for a while now, and who wants to help rebuild the people you just finished fighting? [/quote] Again, as I said, totally understandable. Perhaps ill-advised, but understandable. By no means does it make it PZI however.

[quote name='wickedj' timestamp='1294529058' post='2568977'] Awhile back rsox made the remark that he had heard on TV the US was in DEFCON 3 or something and that he had muttered something about only needing DEFCON 1 or 5 Personally i see Invicta all the time because of [url=www.invictawatch.com/]Invicta Watches[/url] its on some billboard near here(yes, i do wonder if the watch sucks ) [/quote] There is actually a car in my area (I think it is an IROC-Z) which has the plate "WICKEDG" and naturally every time I see it I think of your name. Also one time at an interstate gas station I saw two cars in front of me, one with the plate 2BROS and the other said ARCHON [quote name='Bob Janova' timestamp='1294537613' post='2569119']CN might be only a superficial simulation of national politics but then again, so is real life sometimes)[/quote] Wow for the second time in as many days...must resist urge to sig this quote..... [quote name='BamaBuc' timestamp='1294542501' post='2569173']people wearing shirts from the band Tool, etc. [/quote] Hehe I think of that all the time when I see such, or a mario shirt, or every time I see a damned Orange!

[quote name='Locke' timestamp='1294469848' post='2568382'] I have experienced the same thing, and it's troubling to say the least.

haha, awesome job Olympus, and hilarious announcement. Great job!

[quote name='Penkala' timestamp='1294469491' post='2568377'] He's joking guys. [/quote] That would explain it.

[quote name='Rebel Virginia' timestamp='1294469016' post='2568362'] [color="#0000FF"]VE has never had the balls to just come out and openly PZI people. Instead they prefer to offer completely absurd and overly harsh terms [i]knowing[/i] that the individual in question will not accept. That way, when they get called on the practice, they can claim to have given the individual a "chance at peace" when in reality they knew the terms would not be accepted. But that doesn't matter, as VE's justification is usually enough to satisfy most bystanders. Not me, however. I see right through you VE. You are quite transparent. It is extremely clear what is going on here. The truth is visible to all who wish to see it, because VE is quite transparent, and anyone who wishes to can see right through them.[/color] [/quote] I am confused, the tech deal terms are from CB, not VE. I think I missed something....

[quote name='wickedj' timestamp='1294466919' post='2568288'] Damsky, you know i support your cause but 4 freaking tech deals? do it then rebuild and start over with a new moralist [/quote] First I have to say I am surprised by just how often I am agreeing with wickedj lately. First it was GA, now wicked, did Bob's rotational axis shift dramatically or something.... Anyway secondly, while I agree with wicked that it is not exactly a punishing term, and while WC and CB are compatriots, I can completely respect a refusal to accept terms other than plain simple peace all around. It may not be the wisest tactical or strategic move, but it is certainly a legitimate position one may take, on philosophical grounds. . Thirdly however I would point out that this is not the same as PZI or EZI, since those would require that they are holding you at war forever. Further it implies that they are either refusing to offer you peace or are holding peace hostage to some degree of intentionally unacceptable (by their own or generally accepted community standards) terms. Given that these terms are not exactly draconian by anyone's standards but your own, they are not exactly holding you at war intentionally with no offer of relief.

Congratulations, but needs more Britishdude, seriously that is the best name ever!

Happy Birthday, love the stick art.

We shall have to make a better effort to get to know our friend's new friends. Congratulations on the protectorate arrangement, long may you prosper.

Gorgeous banner graphic, my compliments to the artists. Excellent work indeed!

[quote name='Rebel Virginia' timestamp='1294210948' post='2564180']Considering he knows how easy it is check the real war screen, I can only wonder what other things fly over the heads of you geniuses.[/quote] There is no wondering though about the degree of just wrath which her most holy Moddess can rain down upon those who dare attempt to defile her temple.
