  1. congratulations on completely missing the point of shaneprice's post and focusing on a completely irrelavant mistake in presentation.

    Did you take a course somewhere about how to read something and not get anything out of it? Because I must say, your really good at it.

    My hands are clapping in applause.

  2. forever blue.

    Sure, the NAAC could follow in the footsteps of other alliances and reform, and would easily be better than 90% of other alliances out there, but could never rival the greatness that the NAAC had and deserves.

    Besides, I wouldn't really call NAAC dead... I look around and see alot of ex-NAAC who are keeping the spirit alive.

  3. So, you missed the part where Starcraftmaster says he has no evidence to support the only real accusation he has made here? So what of the rest was a "poor show" from NSO?

    While Starcraftmazter's argument has been inconsistent at points, I think that the logs produced in the opening post we're enough for me to call it a poor show. There is a line between having some fun and being an ***hat, and at times it seems as if NSO (among others) doesn't seem to have any idea where that line is.

    I kinda see the point though, but certain parts of it simply appear to me as if a joke went too far into a malicious personal attack by members likely of NSO, although that is far different then attacks by NSO itself.

  4. Information doesn't have to be witty to be true. I honestly have no idea who you are. Except you could be mad I called Echelon a puppet alliance.

    The situation I'm referring to is....

    Echelon being the horse and 1V being the carrot. NPO dangled it on a stick in front of you and watched you squirm and do whatever they asked for you to get the carrot. You got the carrot, and look where it got you.

    It must be the cool thing to do now to mention something that happened a long time ago to defend criticism of your current actions.

    I hadn't even picked up your calling Echelon a puppet. I can't say it really hurts or anything though.

  5. Caffine, when you write things like these, I want to kill myself.

    Lets sum up where the current situation is... NpO (and others) dislike Echelon. Fine, things like this aren't going to change it. I (and the rest of Echelon I believe) wants nothing but the best for Polaris, we've got nothing for or against them, One thing is certain, we can't change what transpired so long ago, so lets just shut the $%!^ up about it.

  6. Nation: Get back to pre-karma war levels after the whole ZI deal, get a WRC, amass gigantic warchest

    Alliance: Rethink FA picture, solidfy within, get to 150 members, 5 mil NS.

    Bloc: n/a

    Political Scene: WAR!!!

    Game Changes: If its not broke, why does it need changed? Hopefully few game changes.

  7. If you refuse the idea that Echelon can or should own up to its past mistakes, and Echelon does indeed refuse to acknowledge its mistakes, then all change is precluded. Democratic alliances don't get a magic global memory reset every month when they have elections, Echelon doesn't get a mystical pass because all your leaders got going when the going got rough (the same way they "led" Echelon) and have been replaced.

    Your stance is preposterous.

    Did you not see my bit about Echelon is not perfect and has done bad things in the past? Echelon has made its fair of mistakes, I've acknowledged that before, in this thread even. Whats important to realize is that hind-sight is 20/20, and to be honest if I was in the position of those who made the decisions in those mistakes, I don't know if I would have done any different. (I like to think I would have, but until your there, you don't know.)

    I was only joking, but if you really do want to get into a little squabble over it, be my guest.

    You'd be surprised at how often that joke comes up

    Also, wow this thing got off-track fast. Sorry :(

  8. Of course Echelon canceled on Polaris because they were redefining treaties to match up with the level of their friendships and their ideals. lol1.gif

    You can say that you weren't part of Echelon gov at the cancelation time or that you weren't in Echelon, but do not try to spin the reason of the cancelation please.

    People will believe what they want to believe. Frankly I don't care because it was a long time ago and bickering about it isn't going to change anything. Like I said, theres no way for you or I to know, since we weren't there or in a position to make the decision. I guess you'll just have to believe what you want, its not like its going to change anything anyway.

  9. I do not profess to know the history behind Echelon of that period, as that was considerably before I joined. I make no efforts to claim that I have said knowledge. Neither you or I can really tell the complete motivation behind that treaty cancellation, it could be exclusively for political positioning, or it could be something else such as redefining treaties to match up with the level of their friendships and their ideals. The only people who can really tell us are the ones who made that decision.

    Grub, I have a lot of respect for you, I really do. I think in many ways you completely mis-understood what I was trying to say. In no way am I trying to say that Echelon has been an angel (we're far from it), and in no way am I trying to solely blame the disbandment of the NAAC on NpO. Just as Echelon is far from perfect, NpO has items in its history which are far from just. There is a major difference between the past and the present. Alliances change over time, as Polaris has, and as I like to think Echelon has. To quote Bob Dylan, "The Times, They are a changing". Just as the polaris of today is far different then the one that you and I fought against during our time in the NAAC, the Echelon of today is far different then the one that canceled that treaty. Very few alliances stand the test of any length of time without accumulating a few blemishes on their record.

    To be honest, I could not care any less what anybody thinks of Echelon. I've played this game for almost 3 and a half years, and I've had my fair share of alliances. In Echelon I've found a place where I enjoy playing the game, a place where I can be myself. It doesn't bother me to hear what you guys say of Echelon of the past, I know exactly what Echelon is today, and to be honest, there is absolutely no other place that I would rather be.

    Are you trying to blame Grub for what happened to NAAC? Pathetic.

    Vilien, I really would suggest that you read next time, nowhere did I say or even infer anything close to that. To the contrary, I know Grub did his best at the NAAC, and I have alot of respect for him.

    Well his name is memoryproblems

    You know, 3 and a half years ago that was funny, anymore it just shows your lack of resourcefulness ;)

  10. Whew! How wrong can a person be?

    I'm sure you define that on a daily basis.

    I'll always agree with ES in this matter, nobody can force other alliance to disband. So nothing to argue here.

    And at least for me is easier forgive and forget your enemies past behaviors than your friends treasons. I do not forgive and not forget what Echelon did in the past, but doesn't mean that I hate or would like to roll you, I just doesn't wanna any kind of relation with you guys, if you expected something better than apathy coming from Polaris I have to say that you are naive or crazy.

    Sure, you can't do it for them, but Polaris did just about everything next to forcing them. Whether you can force somebody to disband or not is irrelevant, just as you view Echelon's treaty cancellation against you as some sort of horrible, I certainly am not filled with love for Polaris over the matter. Your argument that Echelon is no better now than then because we have so many of the same members (but not government members) is a hard argument to sell with that sort of thing on your record. I've gotten over the NAAC thing, things change, but there are many who can't seem to forgive and forget.

    As for relations, I can't say that Echelon really wants relation with you guys either. We don't mind you, but I don't see alot of things that we really like for that matter either. I guess you can call it mutual indifference.
