  1. A little sectarian violence is good for the cause...really get to see who wants it more.
  2. Though we (Vanguard and MK) started out with some bitterness between many of the founding members, including myself, I am happy that I was part of the process to bring us back together. It was right for remaining LUE members to be apart of the same alliance again and I have no regrets or qualms about ending Vanguard to make it happen. It's been a fun ride, and it feels right to go out, if not a little late actually. So long and thanks for all the fish.
  3. Anybody answering anything other than GWII wasn't around for GWII.
  4. [quote name='Ernesto Che Guevara' timestamp='1340843623' post='2998865'] Somebody stop the war before Sardonic makes more awful puns. They're the worst form of psychological warfare. [/quote] NO MERCY
  5. OP would be very convincing to those who don't pre-date your existence here, and thus haven't been through every single era you mention. Unfortunately (well, not that it matters since you and just about your entire coalition will be thoroughly destroyed regardless) there are several of us still around who know the realities of the eras of the past. OP is fairly well written, but the content is a joke. By the way, scared of TOP?
  6. [quote name='Starfox101' timestamp='1340398680' post='2992916'] Your jokes are so cryptic. How'd you guys get so cool and funny? [/quote] I don't know; it just...happened one day.
  7. [quote name='Letum' timestamp='1340265553' post='2991648'] This is a valid CB. [/quote] I'd commend NPO for attacking us with that as the reasoning.
  8. [quote name='lebubu' timestamp='1340265012' post='2991645'] now that i am mature i just dont care about mk kicking my ass anymore because they are dumb [/quote] You are DUMHOUSE
  9. [quote name='ktarthan' timestamp='1340230746' post='2990649'] Correct: we're not condemning spying. We're condemning spying against [i]us[/i]. What's the problem? [/quote] I think this is an important point which has been missed by most.
  10. [quote name='James Dahl' timestamp='1340210215' post='2990112'] The not-really-but-defacto leader of MK, everyone. [/quote] He puts on a tough show because he's been hurt in the past. He's really a giant teddy bear on the inside.
  11. DoW theme made me laugh. Nice one, GATO.
  12. [quote name='tamerlane' timestamp='1339780480' post='2984951'] Did someone say faith? One must always question the faith of the infidel, especially one such as James Dahl.He does not appreciate the finer points of our humor in the same way non-believers do not appreciate the faithful beheading apostates and snooki impersonators. Little do they realize that these things are demanded by our Lord, Allarchon. [/quote] Faith? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lu3VTngm1F0
  13. Don't worry, we'll peace out after a couple days. Because that is what Dave93 wants.
  14. Using ip's and chasing across re-rolls is now considered ENTIRELY IC? Dear god though, should MK poke fun at people on our own boards...WORSE THAN NPO. What a joke.
  15. [quote name='Feanor Noldorin' timestamp='1326424112' post='2898484'] The others didnt understand you like Bodvar and I did. [/quote] I think the cancellation of our treaty is still the quickest TOP has ever done anything. I mean hell, you beat us to canceling and we had already decided to cancel. That was a pretty short conversation with Crymson.

  17. [quote name='Roquentin' timestamp='1326262616' post='2897281'] Yes, but Gre wasn't really proactive in doing anything. They had taken forever to leave Q and didn't want to do a bloc after that. It was a constant question we had asked people in Gre, "when are you leaving Q?" since we wanted it to happen. Basically, what happened with Karma was Archon was the first person to step up to the plate and write a speech and everyone was fine with him doing it. Actually, no, I think some complained after he did it. [b]MK hadn't really been really proactive on the political front in terms of coalition-building due to the previous war and had adopted a weird attitude of doing things like PIATing NPO. I would say Vanguard was the more proactive C&G alliance.[/b] [/quote] I wouldn't say Vanguard was the more pro-active CnG alliance (at least not at the start). One of Vanguard's initial operating principles was keeping an extremely low profile. MK's publicity afforded them some protection/sympathy even though they were clearly in the crosshairs of NPO and others. We, on the other hand, didn't have a solid base of support (hence us intentionally staying out of the public eye). It wasn't until the Legion-Universalis conflict that we had any real OWF notoriety. From there, things got rolling pretty quickly. Obviously, we ended up in CnG with the absorption of TDSM8. Remember that MK was already in CnG when we joined. No disrespect to the other members, but it was clearly, to the public, MK's bloc. Once we were afforded the stability and protection from our LUE pasts, along with wielding more overall NS towards similar goals, I'd say that MK and Vanguard we're both equally pro-active. Vanguard initially operated from a separate sphere of allies (ODN, Echelon, Rok, SLCB, etc). It wasn't until a bit later on that Vanguard pared down its treaty list (MK would much more publicly pare its list down ). An accurate comment about Vanguard/myself would be Denial's assessment of my game views during a recent internal discussion: "Rafa gets an honourable mention, but his views needs to be balanced out in any FA team (has a tendency to have great ideas, but 3 months too early for them to be feasible)." I suppose the best example would be Vanguard leaving OUT, at a time when color politics were still "important", which was my first act as Sovereign after Denial stepped down. Anyway, long story short, I'd say MK was more pro-active in the beginning before Vanguard's involvement in Legion-Universalis and our admittance to CnG. Vanguard shot from 0-60 in no time after that. Then we merged. I'd reason that we were about equal.
  18. [quote name='IYIyTh' timestamp='1325922917' post='2894643'] What exactly am I supposed to be embarrassed about in that? [img]http://forums.cybernations.net/public/style_emoticons/default/mellow.gif[/img] It was a personal message sent nearly a month a go and quite a bit has changed, but I don't see where that would affect anything I have said there. I've decided that I quite like my surroundings and some events that transpired after that message by a myriad of people led me to reconsider, so no, I'm not "game." [/quote] Say it ain't so.
  19. An enlightening expose on Fok's stance, if I may so myself.
  20. [quote name='Il Impero Romano' timestamp='1323274461' post='2867351'] Don't be upset. [/quote] Ok, we won't.

  22. [quote name='WarriorConcept' timestamp='1323136459' post='2864733'] I agree. [/quote] Kommune just cemented its position as worst faction.
  23. [quote name='Tygaland' timestamp='1320456287' post='2839133'] On the contrary, it is probably the only reason you took this path. [/quote] I'm not in gov't any longer (haven't been for a long time) and even I admit my views are a bit beyond what the normal MK'er thinks.
  24. [quote name='Tygaland' timestamp='1320455693' post='2839107'] I was more referring to how you clumsily stumbled upon the point people were makiing. You knew this would be more harm to Legion and you knew it'd put NSO in the driver's seat as all they have to do is sit still and wait for you all to roll Legion for them. I don't care whether you agree with it or not, just that you acknowledge precisely what it is you are agreeing with. [/quote] I'm very aware of the point people are making. It's true that Legion has more left to lose in comparison to NSO, but that has no bearing on our outlook. In the end, both alliances will be absolutely demolished, so to say our insertion is inherently unfair is wrong. We will be attacking both alliances until there is nothing left (or until suitable peace is reached), regardless of how much they have to lose, their prided, etc. That sounds decently fair to me. As I've said though, I personally don't care. As long as this stirs things up, it's a success to me.
