Haflinger Posted May 10, 2011 Report Share Posted May 10, 2011 [quote name='recockulova' timestamp='1305010755' post='2709519'] If Fark had your history, we'd actively try to forget it, too. [/quote] He's talking about stuff he's never remembered because he wasn't there, and never had a chance to find out about it. Seriously. There are 17 nations left total whose alliance seniority dates to before when TPF joined Continuum, and 14 nations left who joined TPF before the Unjust War (which is when alliance seniority was implemented, so it's impossible to track exactly when they joined). The founding triumvirate of TPF was Slayer (gone from CN), Geopet (gone from CN), and TimLee (a member of GATO). Wingwhiper, the other founder of TF!, is also gone from CN. The other founding triumvirs of COLD (TimLee was there too) are The Big Bad (now in Exodus) and TDA (gone from CN). Holding a grudge against TPF for these guys makes about as much sense as holding a grudge against NpO for NAAC. You want to hold a grudge against TimLee? It's insane. But he's still here, over in GATO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goldie Posted May 10, 2011 Report Share Posted May 10, 2011 [quote name='Hyperion321' timestamp='1305003945' post='2709494'] I think that's the point in that we've all pissed off people in the distant past, whether intentional or not, and that everyone holding on to their grudges is pointless. Nobody in CN is completely innocent, and scolding others while ignoring their own faults is pretty ignorant. [/quote] It is humorous to see this, coming in a bloc announcement with Fark. I like Fark but they hold onto grudges better and for longer than probably anyone else in the game, I think they'd probably say as much themselves.

King Louis the II Posted May 10, 2011 Report Share Posted May 10, 2011 (edited) [quote name='mhawk' timestamp='1305009534' post='2709517'] Good luck sparta, mha, fark, rr. Seriously if you hold a dire grudge on us y'all need to get over it, because we're at the point we don't have enough people active from that long ago to even remember what you're talking about. [/quote] We don't have any grudges on you at all. It was some of your members that brought up things that happened in the past. I mentioned here many times that holding grudges is not a smart thing to do, because 2 things: 1- Nobody is perfect and people can change 2- You never know in which position you will be in the future, therefore to keep enemies does no good to anyone. PS. You and your members are welcome to visit our forums and you can shoot me a PM here or on IRC whenever you want.

Those who forget their history are doomed to repeat it.[/quote] I've used variations on that phrase so many times in these forums that it should be in my sig and trademarked. I also respect the hell out of Fark. They've earned that respect over a period of years. Indeed it is fair to say that without Fark, I would not be here. But guys and gals...surely you have something else to complain about that is more relevant to 2011. If those that left for TF! were genuinely that unhappy, why would you want them around? Even if it is as they said and they attempted to recruit members away later on, that was like...4 years ago. Don't become one of these half-senile idiots that is still arguing and butthurt over GW I. You're better far than that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caligula Posted May 10, 2011 Report Share Posted May 10, 2011 Someone points out the irony of an individuals AA, TPF, because of the grief one member of theirs gave the entire bloc about their perceived actions of two alliances and now Fark is the one holding a "grudge." lol.

recockulova Posted May 11, 2011 Report Share Posted May 11, 2011 History lessons are the things that make you nod knowingly when the knuckledraggers in GOONs and PC preemptively attack NPO without a CB. Only n00bs think history isn't relevant to 2011. Far too much is forgotten in this game, imo. As for the turnover in TPF, well, if the joiners want the AA, they get the baggage that comes with it. I haven't seen anything which shows me that they've started regularly douching since their Continuum/UJP days. There's a whole world out there to be friendly with. Alliances whose major historical antecedents include !@#$ting on Fark remain ensconced at the bottom of the list of people I'd like to roll with.

leprecon Posted May 11, 2011 Report Share Posted May 11, 2011 (edited) Looks like we have a new strongest bloc on CN. Schattenmann will be around shortly to complain about whatever you do. [size="1"](I wish, he has already complained about VE in this thread...)[/size] This is an awesome bloc guys. I wish you good luck.
