Wow, I waste time and breath on things.. but.. .. ..

I'm speechless. Nothing more to say.. this blows all my charades away.

Whoever wrote this REALLY needs a life. I mean if they take the time to write this much more than I do they REAALLY REALLLLY need a life.

After all, everyone knows the OWF community only understands "Enemies you suck and I don't." style propaganda.

I bet you were the one who wrote this. It looks like your writing.

[b]I.[/b] 'Heh' at the Nordreich part.

[b]II.[/b] 'LOL' at the LoSS part. LoSS is more anti-NPO than I think we even are. Though, I have not recently discussed NPO with them. So, they may actually absolutely adore them.

:smug:

Alas, the sheer amount of crazy required to waste so much time writing something so outrageous likely means we face a far greater foe...

Honestly, it was the amount of crazy that has me leaning to think this is a legit piece of work. Not saying it was endorsed by gov or anything. But I believe it shows enough dedication to be written by someone who has been a long time Pacifican who may have been out of the game for a while and doesn't really understand the total situation.

I have seen things like this before. Back in the NAAC a player who hadn't been active for about 5 months came back and started talking about how we needed to restore the alliance to glory, how our allies can't be trusted and how I was an NPO plant who needed to be couped.

Believe it or not, this level of crazy does exist.

this isn't at all the correct use of the word 'pedantic'.
[/quote]

But this is.

Anyone else read the entire thing? I've wasted just as much time as the guy who wrote it, which is a bit depressing :/

Maybe it's the same guy

I see this, and I see everyone just going on about how long it'd take to write and the person who wrote it having too much time on their hands. And then when I disagreed to myself on the basis that I figure I'd have enough time on my hands to write this, I suddenly realised why. And now I hate my life, and I blame whoever wrote this.

The comments about Olympus are a disgrace. Go and die NPO. :mad:

Don't worry A0, they are giving us another chance to get in line and be good little Invictans.

[size="1"](Yes, I think this whole thing is utter horse!@#$, but it made me chuckle, so 50 tech will be on its way to the author, should they come forward with proof of such)[/size]

How long did it take you, Ardus, to write this text that you "found just by chance"... ?
[/quote]

Ardus was just kind enough to post it here for everyone's amusement. This has been floating around for a day or so in a different venue.

Very much this. I am utterly incapable of dedicating the time necessary to churn out something like this right now, nor could I hit this pitch if I tried.

I see a few things in this

1. Please drop NSO, NPO. That would make me extremely happy.

2. You will pretty much never get any MDP+ treaties with LoSS or IAA.

3. I don't see how you can talk any about running away from the NSO conflict when everyone was sitting out, because you guys didn't want to get hurt. That's much more pathetic than doing what you think is right and dealing with the consequences.

I thought so too.

The fact that this is believable and that the authenticity is even in question is itself a reflection on how little Pacific has been able to mend its image.
[/quote]
I think you're wrong here. Anyone with two brain cells and no agenda realizes this is bunk. There's maybe a handful of delusional fools who will believe anything you spit at them, but the majority of 'belief' is being drummed up by important and known figures on the other side.

I will give you that Pacifica is unable to mend it's image to some of these folks, though, who eternally will froth at the mouth at the thought of sinking their jaws into her again.

I'm regretting just skimming through this on my first time through. Every time I look at it more carefully, I get more gems.

[quote]any Pacifican found to have an unauthorized account on MK's and any Doomhouse/Pandora's Box forum needs to be punished severely. We need a crackdown on this.[/quote]

Uh oh, looks like I'm in deep trouble :unsure:

I must admit, the topic lured me in, and the length of it made my eyes hurt... but it was worth it for the entertainment value. I am a little suprised to see some posters taking it seriously,though. If nothing else, it brings a smile to my face seeing people from both sides getting a chuckle out of it and for that, Ardus, I thank you.

Some of my favorite bits...some are indications of trying too hard, some just fun grammar mistakes, etc:

[quote]My fellow Pacificans,

I was hoping to wait until after the fighting stopped to sit back and take a look at Planet Bob and see where all the various blocs and alliances were, so that we could plan a strategy on how to take back what is rightfully ours. [/quote]
This (and many other parts like it) is an indication to me that this was written by someone outside Pacifica, looking to paint Pacifica in a bad light. "Take back what is rightfully ours". The sheer gall of that statement sure to get under the skin of anyone remotely opposed to Pacifica. GASP! how dare they! GASP! They don't own this game! Etc.
IMO, someone in Pacifica would not write a document for general distribution with such blatant statements like this to indicate that Bob is "Rightfully ours". Well....not anyone with any kind of a brain anyway.


[quote]Regardless, as we were posing as a peace-loving alliance since the end of the Armageddon War, and we had our own plans for this conflict, this came as a mild shock to us. [/quote]
Cut. Me. A break. "posing as a peace-loving alliance". Like there was a deliberate PLAN of action in Pacifica to not BE peaceable, but only to ACT peaceable. Also, let's throw in some sinister PLAN that Pacifica had to ultimately be involved in the war....the war they deliberately avoided (Not the first mind you). "ATTENTION PACIFICANS! ACTIVATE PLAN ARGENT! PLAN ARGENT! EVERYONE ACT NICE! EVERYONE ACT LIKE WE WANT TO AVOID A WAR! Our secret agents are currently working on plan LAMBDA LAMBDA FIVE! "DESTROY MUSHROOM KINGDOM FROM WITHIN BY POSTING TOO MUCH GUN PORN ON THEIR BOARDS!"

[quote]Nations and alliances who I never thought would see the light after the Armageddon War have publicly and privately lent their support to Pacifica, which have included several saying that had they known this is what “Karma” was going to bring, they would have fought on our side.[/quote]
This is interesting, in that IMO, this is the motivation of the poster. Reversing bad public image through this letter. It's no secret that this unprovoked attack has brought a lot of bad will. The second half of this...knowing what Karma was going to bring....this is an accusation the author has heard....probably one leveled at him.


[quote]We have proven that Pacifica is not as weak as people have been gossiping in back channels, but instead is the unstoppable and unbeatable military power that ruled Planet Bob years ago. If anything, this terrorist attack has been a blessing in disguise. While we had healed completely from the Armageddon War, it had been an issue on how we were going to take back the reigns of control from those who did not deserve it. [/quote]
Hilarious. First, the author makes the mistake of assuming that PACIFICANS would be in back channels where others were "gossiping" that Pacifica was weak. Um..no. Those present in anti-pacifican gossip sessions? THEY DON'T TEND TO BE FROM PACIFICA! "Take back the reigns of control from those who did not deserve it". Couple things to note there: #1. The author is an individual who does not understand the difference between "reins" and "reigns". A clue to his identity. #2. The threat of a "healed completely" Pacifica looking to "take back the reigns" is so clearly stated as to be laughable. A Pacifican would not write this document. Someone looking to paint Pacifica as bad...would.


[quote]My fellow Pacificans, it is time that we take back our planet. And I firmly believe that we can do it before the end of the year.[/quote]

BEWARE! BEWARE! PAFICIA NEEDS STOPPING NOW! WE HAVE LESS THAN A YEAR!! MOMMY!


I could go on all week with the size of this document, but I apparently don't have as little to do as the author ;)

[quote]We have a NAP with IRON, and the bloc made it clear to us that they were not going to activate any of their treaties amongst both sides through the duration of the conflicts. While we understand that, it's of my feeling and others that Duckroll was essentially looking to see who came out on top before either piling on that side at the end in a hunt for reps or allying up with the victors. In short, they're looking to piggyback on the success of others, and not from their own accord. That being said, we do have a good relationship with IRON and they've expressed their support in helping us rebuild. We should be aware that they'll be looking to sign with us once our victory becomes official, but there's no real need to sign diplomatic ties with alliances who aren't willing to full commit their support and undying loyalty to Pacifica through thick and thin. Let them sign with our allies and support Pacifica that way.[/quote]

First: We do not have a NAP with NPO :P, it expired forever ago.
Second: What?
Third: What??
Fourth: Whomever wrote that should tell that section at their local comedy club, they will get a few laughs.
