  1. Congrats on getting your flag into the game, also sorry for the delay on the treaty.
  2. For years Opethian has been the Classiest and Sharkiest Man on Digiterra. Seeing him enter the battlefield has struck legitimate fear into my heart, God help us all. The sharks are coming and there is nothing that can stop them.
  3. I am distressed at the lack of the "GATO as in the cat people wear as a pip?" option.
  4. The lack of Arouet in his eternal position as Deputy Head of State disappoints me. CaptainImpavid is good and all, and I'm guessing Arouet stepped down 'cause he's always been so busy, but I just liked seeing him up there since he's been there before I even existed.
  5. I've always been of the opinion that everyone's opinion of Opethian is backwards - he's not playing the game wrong, but in fact, he's the only one who is playing the game [b]right[/b]. Congratulations on four years of hilarity, bill-lock, and negligible nation growth all for the lulz.
  6. I couldn't get my mind into the zone for this one and come up with a really cool and unique concept that I'd like, so I think I'll sit this one out unless I can come up with something last minute. Really good entries thus far, I think Gairyuki's is my favorite - I love the way it's set up.
  7. The best part of this bloc and this thread are all the [url=http://forums.cybernations.net/index.php?showtopic=85878&st=0&p=2298100&#entry2298100]puns[/url] and [url=http://forums.cybernations.net/index.php?showtopic=85878&view=findpost&p=2298113]pop song[/url] [url=http://forums.cybernations.net/index.php?showtopic=85878&view=findpost&p=2298120]references[/url]. Congratulations to all those involved except for Rebel Virginia, who is probably ahead of the game and has already congratulated himself.
  8. It's called making a concession, although I'm sure most of you wouldn't be familiar with that considering how you're all very much used to being right 100% of the time. Rebel Virginia in particular.
  9. While I understand what you're trying to accomplish here, I feel like it would've been more effective had you joined IRON and fought for their cause under their name rather than in your own name. I understand that you're a Glory Hound and all, but if a cause is worth fighting for, you join it directly.
  10. [quote name='lonewolfe2015' date='08 May 2010 - 09:55 AM' timestamp='1273330526' post='2291306'] Because, Abstract is really not a very detailed definition or style, Abstract can really be anything that doesn't look like a standard style or that deviates from a style in certain ways. [/quote] This. Although I do understand what you mean by an Abstract style, I think you are defining an Abstract style something to closely related to Fractals. A Graphics Piece can be abstract without the use of Fractals. "Total abstraction bears no trace of any reference to anything recognizable."
  11. It started out abstract but it ended up getting more Grunge as I came to a close.

  13. [quote name='Delta1212' date='06 May 2010 - 12:31 PM' timestamp='1273167086' post='2289137'] I once went through and made a list of longest consecutively serving high government still in office. If memory serves (which it may not. I feel like I might be missing something). It went something like: Tyga (though he has had some time off/the whole Polar thing which probably resets his count and disqualifies him) grahamkeatley Altheus (who just retired) Xiphosis Archon bigwoody (His position is still technically labeled as being Head of State even if he's not actually running the alliance, so I'm not entirely sure whether this still applies or not) Delta1212 chefjoe I checked up on all the obvious alliances I could think of, but since there are over 200, I can't be 100% certain I didn't miss someone or someones. Edit: I got my own position wrong [/quote] Chuck Normis has been the leader of CRAP since he founded it in April of 2007. Also, Opethian, not sure if he counts but he's been the leader of Prism Protection Front since sometime in 2006.
  14. [quote name='F15pilotX'] I specifically said "tangible" reparations so that people wouldn't respond to me with posts like yours; obviously that flew over your head. Obviously you're a tad bitter (just a tad ) over that, but since you want to be like that, I'll respond.[/quote] No, I saw your wording. I just chose to go straight to my argument rather than argue over which party is guilty of more intangible terms, because the line between "tangible reparations" and "intangible reparations" has been and will continue to be blurred. There will always be demands for reparations that people will deem impossible, unthinkable. The terminology of "tangible reparations" is ill-defined in Cyber Nations, because at the time, NPO Government was of the opinion that the terms they were offering ONOS were completely tangible. [quote name='F15pilotX']Where is my righteous NPO "high horse"? I never even mentioned my opinion of my alliance, or its acts, in my post. My response was lighthearted in the first part, and I was simply pointing out a stupid comment in the last part. As to your second snide comment, I have been around since November 2006, so thank you very much I was around for it; no need for the arrogant, condescending attitude. I actually hung out on the ONOS forums for a few months (this was before the war), which made your ignorant assumption pretty funny to me, personally. Again, I made the remarks specifically about one area, because I found it ironic. That you wanted to bring up other issues was entirely up to you, and I neither asked nor wanted you to.[/quote] For one, the high horse was general comment to the World Police attitude held by several NPO Posters on this forum. Not just this thread. Also, I do not remember you posting on ONOS Forums, so forgive me not remembering your presence there. Additionally, I made my remarks specifically about one area of history because I found it ironic in regards to what you were stating. And it's not just you, I'm aware of how well the NPO Propaganda Machine works. The entire "Is Karma really what you thought it would be" thing just grates on me because the continued argument that "you all are worse than we ever were" just gets to me. [quote name='F15pilotX']For as much as you complain(ed) about the NPO being evil and bad, you sure do seem to have loved it when we played the part. Hey, at least you can complain about us not acting our "part" soon - that'll give you something more current to blame us for [/quote] That was my attempt to keep the thread on track and still be posting in reference to the opening post. Also, you are putting words into my mouth - specifically that one 'loved'. I never loved NPO and I still don't, I really don't love any alliance in this game save for a few. The concession I made at the end of my post was based on the idea that I prefer the NPO didn't pretend they were the good guys and stick with the Evil Empire theme rather than the one that makes-believe that they're the All-Righteous World Police. I'm sorry that my wording does not come off as optimal and clear, it's just difficult to stay on-topic and keep a post moderately congratulatory when engaged in an argument at the same time.
  15. [quote name='Haflinger' date='03 May 2010 - 11:32 PM' timestamp='1272947552' post='2286072'] If you think the alliances currently named GOONS and \m/ have anything to do with their namesakes disbanded after the Unjust War other than name... well, lol. GOONS technically doesn't have the same name, as well. In fact, the last time I checked, they were at war with a nation from Neutral Shoving. It's been a while though, maybe they made peace. [/quote] I am aware that alliances change over time, especially after they go under and then reform years later. However, please refer to this particular sentence in my first post. [quote]I am aware that other sanctioned alliances have been destroyed in the past, but [b]all have managed to come back in some way, shape or form[/b].[/quote]
  16. [quote name='Haflinger' date='03 May 2010 - 11:29 PM' timestamp='1272947337' post='2286064'] Other sanctioned alliances have been completely destroyed since ONOS. GOONS, CDS, GOLD, \m/, Atlantis spring to mind. VE were also disbanded, but it seems pretty clear now that they disbanded under false pretences and never really stayed apart. [/quote] GOONS and \m/ are currently still in existence. Notice my use of the words "permanently destroyed". As for CDS, I can not say I am familiar with their circumstances.
  17. [quote name='F15pilotX' date='03 May 2010 - 11:07 PM' timestamp='1272946044' post='2286019']The fact that the two single largest tangible amounts of reparations to an alliance ever demanded, and the two most destructive wars in history have both been demanded/happened since NPO fell from the top spot. Not going to argue here, but I found that amusing. [/quote] I think the reparations demanded of ONOS and the NPONOS Massacre still rank higher than anything that's happened as of recent. Mostly because the reparations of ONOS took what once was the strongest alliance on Maroon, a sanctioned alliance at that, and destroyed it permanently. I am aware that other sanctioned alliances have been destroyed in the past, but all have managed to come back in some way, shape or form. ONOS, on the other hand, went from being sanctioned to decimation. It's one thing to demand thousands of Tech and Financial Reparations from an alliance, but it was quite another for NPO to have demanded to give the control of the ONOS forum to the NPONOS Viceroy or else face further destruction. That was borderline illegal at the time, I'm sad that it wasn't outright against the rules to do such a thing as it is now. So, please get off your high horse. You and the rest of you NPO Righteous posters. I bet you weren't even around for the NPONOS Incident, because I find it completely insane that you would make such remarks - you obviously can't have been around from that era. I've had too many friends put on PZI and EZI lists by NPO to ever even fathom the thought that anyone could do worse than what NPO did. Do I hate NPO? No, this is a game, what's done is done. You can't change the past. Is NPO a successful alliance? Why yes, they were basically the victors of the game for years on end. They're making a comeback, and the fact that this thread celebrates the 6th Year of the Order is quite an achievement. For that, I congratulate you. But also, I would like to advise you guys to stick to the "Evil Empire" persona that was once adopted so vehemently by NPO posters of not-long-ago. It fit you guys better, no one played the villain as well as you did. So, stick to that. It's a lot more believable and certainly a lot more acknowledgeable of your position in the Cyberverse.

  19. [IMG]http://i202.photobucket.com/albums/aa33/IronSoldier820/CreekNationSignature.png[/IMG] This one's pretty experimental, although I enjoy submitting an entry in a contest for Patriotism as a Native American.
  20. I feel like I've missed out in not having known you. My experience in Cyber Nations did not start on such a deep note, but I did end up leaving at various points with a lot of life lessons. Very great post, I'm glad to see I'm not the only one who ended up taking life lessons from a random browser game - I was starting to feel silly.
  21. Lanna has been and will always be a caring and sincere player in this game. She is outgoing and friendly, and quite frankly, one of the most lovable personalities I know in Cyber Nations. The fact that someone like you could willingly put her into a situation like this disgusts me. I just hope that one day you get what's coming to you for abusing the trust that people had placed into you. Your best course of option is to stop posting in this thread and start manning up to your actions.
  22. I think if you wanted to do this correctly, you would have announced a Protectorate or some Mutual Defense treaties with some strong alliances upon declaring your existence. Coming into CN with an alliance that has such a tainted name and bearing no treaties is a reckless move.
  23. [quote name='defroster' date='26 April 2010 - 09:51 PM' timestamp='1272336666' post='2276812'] The Templar Knights- 4 Latenica getting black senate votes always confused me. [/quote] We're a Maroon Team alliance, so our actual Senator is King Irwin. Other than Latincia, we don't really have anyone on the Black Team. The only reason he gets Senate Votes is because random noobs on the team vote for him because he has a high Nation Strength. He himself has no idea who is voting for him. It's not like he messages people to vote for him either, he barely touches this game anymore. [quote name='Antoine Roquentin' date='26 April 2010 - 10:41 PM' timestamp='1272339684' post='2276875'] The Templar Knights - 4 Not sure what to think. It seems a lot of you don't like fighting and I've heard Latincia doesn't keep a warchest. [/quote] You must be mistaking Latincia for Wiccan. Latincia has a warchest of around 4 billion. If you read his [url=http://www.cybernations.net/nation_drill_display.asp?Nation_ID=53783]Nation Bio[/url] you would've known that.
  24. [quote name='WalkerNinja' date='26 April 2010 - 07:48 PM' timestamp='1272329315' post='2276697'] New slogan for GGA! The Grand Global Alliance: God sends Angels to punch us in the face. [/quote] Wittiest statement I've witnessed for this past month. Bravo good sir. Also, shame to see such an interesting crusade come to an inglorious an end as due a miscalculation.
  25. Congratulations Asgaard, try and avoid rocking out too hard with \m/ and having a heart attack. Those guys party way too hard from what I hear.
