[Merry Christmahanakwanzika]

Same to you guys, thanks for the recent reappearance and efforts to moderate again.

[For Galerion]

be like luke not like lando would be at least slightly improved.

[A Confession, A Profuse Apology, and a Promise]

Tfw you're this deluded, feelsbadman.

[Depression]

Depression is most certainly real, I agree that the best thing you can do is simply be there.

[Alternate CN Forum Skin Available]

I am happy to see a spam forum as well!

[A Decade of Cyber Nations]

What is the point of this game?

[The Status Quo]

What keeps you going? Friendships
If your nation deleted would you be back? My nation's statistics are irrelevant, it'd just be a matter of spending another 3 years buying up wonders again that would be a bit frusterating, but if it meant we returned to similar numbers as peak, I'd be more than happy to waste the 3 years.
Are you awaiting a global war? And if so, would you prefer a curve stomp or a fair bout? Of course, a fair fight would be a wonderful change of pace for the past 8 years.
How are you staying entertained in this game? IRC
Is the treaty web why we are here? How would you change it? We're in the current situation because preserving your pixels is more valuable to alliance leaders than actually trying for revenge upon those who wronged you previously. It's impossible to change, Pixels > Friends.

[The Sanction Race is ending]

Come on IRC before you quit!

[Merry Christmas]

Festivus for the rest of us

[A Message to CN]

I too miss our pope from Americas.

[The next Oculus Era]

I just find it funny how quick alliance such as NpO and others cancel treaties in order not to get rolled always make me laugh that does, just go to show no treaties is over pixals lol

Please, enlighten us as to what treaties Polaris canceled to not get rolled, I'd also love to hear your explanation as to your own alliance signing a treaty with anything that breathes, clearly setting yourself up for conflicting treaties in a future point.

[The next Oculus Era]

Hitting Polar is a lot harder than hitting MI6 was, I also kinda doubt R&R would burn for Polar.

[Policy Regarding Tech Received From Multis]

You don't even know who it is.

You know we've got access to all of the tech sent as well on Lyricalz, RI5, and probably a dozen other offsites, right? It's not hard to figure out who got the multi tech.

[Policy Regarding Tech Received From Multis]

Glad to see this, it's long overdue.

Yeah, RIP DT Probes.

[Gettin' hitched + Ironman 70.3 Lake Tahoe (Wonderful Water, Broken Bikes, and Medical Mysteries)]

Congratulions on getting married!

[On "The Usual Suspects"]

Gotcha, Oculus will clearly always be allied to one another then, and there is no tensions within the hegemony sphere whatsoever. There was not tensions within WUT either.

[On "The Usual Suspects"]

Yeah...that's...hahaha....wow.

Nice one, mate, but there's reality, and then there's where this is coming from - very different places.

Please enlighten us as to how the Polarsphere or MI6 are statistical threats to Oculus then, I'll wait.

[OWF Dead = Game Dead]

The old divisions don't mean as much toward the end. I haven't made a VE swipe in almost 3 years

I haven't mocked legion or ODN in a long while either.

[On "The Usual Suspects"]

You've already done things like roll GPA during Woodstock. Having done that, now you can enjoy be the "good guy." You do it well too.

I also defended those I was at war with who went nuclear, waived their tech reps and ensured their safety, it's disingenuous to pretend as though I ever played the Villian in any conflict I participated in besides perhaps disbanding NoV, which I hold no regrets for, White Nationalists/Supremacists are a cancer upon humanity.

[On "The Usual Suspects"]

Thing is, those of us not in the hegemony have no issues being rolled over and over again, we're not going to give up our morals simply to get a victory.

[OWF Dead = Game Dead]

I actually feel if more people put effort into playing a character we'd have a more active community.

[OWF Dead = Game Dead]

There's never been an IC in the first place for most people.

[OWF Dead = Game Dead]

The question to ask is what you really want out of CN. Fancy graphics are out. Power fantasy will lead you to nothing but boredom as all of the good villains get rolled out of the game/tier and you only have friends left. You've got RP and the challenge of growing, fighting, and regrowing left. And I'm well aware of NG high gov's opinion of RP.

Methrage, Rey, Tywin, et al might be obnoxious, but one thing wrestling will teach you is that you need a good heel or the action means nothing. Given their current power levels, expect high tier to be boring forever.

I'd say Pacifica will go down as the greatest of all villains when all is said and done, it's disingenuous to say the good ones will get rolled out of the game completely, it's a matter of making wars ever worth it, which quite frankly they never are except in the 1%, so to speak, since you're just letting your rivals grow if they aren't at war, and hurting your own statistics while doing so.

RPing is a dead art though there's still a few of us who enjoy playing the controversial player and don't mind the drawbacks that come along with it, but Steve is right, sucking up to everyone is much easier to keep yourself safe over having a neutral or negative opinion.

[On Politics on Bob.]

Politics is dead, and our current hegemony will likely just roll GPA or the Polarsphere again in the winter, since nobody wants to take risks, they want to remain on the winning side.

[If Alliance's had truthful slogans/mottos, what would they be?]

I think it summarizes ODN pretty well, or do you not recall their history of latching onto whomever the strongest power is at the time?
