[quote name='Mason' timestamp='1302466913' post='2687993'] To the contrary, I came back twice because of the disappointment I felt watching my creation be destroyed by the stagnation of the inept leadership and so called GUNners that did nothing for the alliance beyond hiding behind it's AA. During those return trips, I tried to revive the community and that is what was met with hostility. You were content with being nothing more than a shell of an alliance. Oh yes, I worked against GUNners because I wanted to help the alliance, not hurt it. In my return, despite resistance, I still managed to push for and get a completely new charter and form of government. More activity and interest took place each time I came back than any time I was gone. But, yes, both times I left again because I got sick of the bs and pathetic attitudes of the membership. It's not what GUN was intended to be. There were never more than a handful willing to be on board for making GUN a decent alliance again, and even those few realized what they were dealing with and were afraid to make things happen without me prodding them on. [b]So, what do we have here? A bunch of bitter ex-GUNners that let your alliance die without a true fight and mad because I decided to reform it without you? At 7 members, we've already got better quality than the whole of those of you who were left when you shut it down.[/b] There was a time when you, Tupac, and others like you, were the pride of GUN. But you accepted defeat and I left before then because you no longer embodied the spirit of what it meant to be GUN. Just a bunch of stubborn over-the-hill CNers riding on the coat-tails of a name that used to demand respect.Go ahead. Place your bets. [/quote] I know this is a gravedigg, I apologize in advance and will accept the warning if the mods want to give it with no complaints. [OOC]I will add though that I had a cornea transplant which prevented me from using the computer for quite a long time.[/OOC] I was away and missed this thread when it was created. As an ex-member, and part of the leadership that decided to disband the alliance I want to have my say in this. I can not allow you to say things like the one bolded. It is a lie. We fought extremely hard and did the best we possibly could to try and save GUN. I can't deny the impact you had when you came back, it was positive considering our state, but even what you brought to the table wasn't enough to save it. Every active member of GUN is very aware of how hard we worked, even some old friends from allies know how hard we worked. It is true we failed, GUN as it existed could not operate; and as the one who proposed disbandment I stand today by my decision and still believe it was the best course of action. The resistance you say you encountered was of your own making and you know it (and you know I stood behind you). You are in no position to complain about or criticize our commitment and our effort. Those bitter ex-gunners gave a lot to the alliance, more than you with all your hopping. The GUN I joined, the GUN I led, is now dead and it's for the best. Yours is a new project with an old name, and I wish you the best.

o7 TNG Like the new flag.

TO WAR!!!! o/TFD o/NATO o/TNG

This is how you accept a war.

Wish the best to both. Love you TFD.

Need good sellers, multiple slots open. First come, first serve. This is how it works. I send you 3 million then you send 100 Tech. I send you 3M more and then you send me 50 tech. Deal can also be just a 3 million/ 100 Tech deal. If you want to sell send me a PM in game and I'll send you first 3M. Any questions feel free to ask in the PM.

Awesome stuff

Makes me incredibly happy. TFD

TFD being awesome as usual Congrats guys.

Wish the best to all. It was a pleasure being part of this bloc. o/

Pesaurus flag is great.

I know it would help, and any help is good, what I meant is that people should not expect a revamp game-play to magically solve the CN "decay".

I believe this CN can be perked up enough to "fix" some of the things you mention, without the need to create CN2. Thing is that, like you said, the ones who run the ship are not good with change. It's like FIFA with replay/goal line technology. My story is similar to Rena's except that I did join an alliance my first time around in 07. I never got too into the game and eventually deleted for inactivity. The reason why I stayed the second time around was because I got active in alliance and CN politics. We must also accept that a good number of people who play the game don't have the RL time to really get involved in all the politics. The game revolves around it's politics and community, so even a upgraded/better game-play won't solve everything. [size="1"]We need wars more often, because even if you are not involved you enjoy the drama. Not every war has to be a World War.[/size]

Great to see this.

Yes! We made it to the last 32. Go TNG!!!

Congrats Rena and Pink! Wish you the best. o/ TPC

I'm surprised a Harry Potter theme alliance never came up considering the mega huge amount of fans the series has.
