LegendoftheSkies Posted June 11, 2011 Report Share Posted June 11, 2011 (edited) *Sigh* I might regret doing this later, but what's a guy to do? What is one to do to amuse himself on a dull and dreary evening such as this? Well, perhaps I can get a discussion going here. We just came out of a long conflict afterall, so there's not much we can do, but wander the boards to grasp at whatever tiny morsels of drama/intrigue we can possibly get our grubby mitts on before the next apocalyptic war comes our way. And with myself being a prominent government member of several minor alliances before now, I can say with absolute confidence that I don't have [i]!@#$[/i]. ...Well, okay I did come across one tiny little thing whilst rummaging through my old Corp log files. Not too big a deal really, but I think it's topic-worthy. Although I'm fairly sure at least some people had guessed the truth about this situation. Hell, for all I know this already got out somehow and is pretty much common knowledge by now (in which case I will feel quite silly). In any case, since Corp is toast (and has been for quite a while) I see no harm in bringing these logs to light. And I'd just like to establish that I am just as guilty here as anyone else in these logs, so I don't mean to slander anyone with this. So against my better judgment, here it is, incriminating logs regarding some small raiding incident that caused some huge global war or other: [quote][01:00] <~Kev_McD[Corp|Chair]> I'm loaded [01:00] <~Kev_McD[Corp|Chair]> You talk to him [01:01] <&iClean[Corp|CEOut]> Fine 01[01:01] <&Legendoftheskies[Corp]> haw [01:01] <~Kev_McD[Corp|Chair]> plus we promised PC 3 days 01[01:01] <&Legendoftheskies[Corp]> ?

We did it. Corp orchestrated the whole thing just so some !@#$%* yellow micro would merge into us and it ended up causing an enormous !@#$-fest. On behalf of everyone who used to be in Corp I would like to say we are deeply sorr-bahahaha hell no we're not sorry at all because that huge cluster$%&@ of a war WAS AWESOME. In the end we even got what we were after. FoA eventually merged into Corp when they changed their name: http://forums.cybernations.net/index.php?showtopic=89758 And all it took was a nuclear holocaust.

Omniscient1 Posted June 12, 2011 Report Share Posted June 12, 2011 Yea I beleive this has been known for a while. Actually, I think a GATOan who was ex-FOA that visits the OWF ever so often, Darthcyfe, was who told me. He may have told people in public too, but people think his trolling is so bad that they all likely ignored it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supercoolyellow Posted June 12, 2011 Report Share Posted June 12, 2011 (edited) I'll admit it, I'm in awe. I've always wondered if you could do something similar by having several actives from alliance A join alliance B that is a small democratic micro, and then through democracy make it merge with alliance A. PS. I want to see the logs where Kev convinced them to merge. Edited June 12, 2011 by supercoolyellow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] It wasn't easy to convince them. iClean and I spent a lot of time talking to them over IRC, forums, and other off-world communication devices. I'll see what I can dig up though, and if so, query something to you. Edit: And I will just say this, while it was planned in advance, by the time we got around to getting FoA to merge, I sincerely believe it was the best thing for them. The logs in this thread aside, we gave the very few active members of FoA a chance to do something, and the inactive members a more secure home. I don't say this to save face, as I really don't think I have to. Edited June 12, 2011 by Kevin McDonald Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Balder Posted June 12, 2011 Report Share Posted June 12, 2011 (edited) God, I'm tired of people who spent the majority of their government terms inactive logdumping me after the fact. While I'd love to tell you that my reign of leadership throughout my CN career was influential and incredible, it wasn't. I'm not sure where in those logs you saw me convince AlmightyGrub to go to \m/'s IRC and act like a jackass and subsequently get called out on it (which sparked the feelings of butthurt that actually caused the war), in fact I'm pretty sure you won't find it anywhere. Mostly because I can't stand Polaris nor 99% of their members including the former Emperor. Again, I don't really mind all that much when people attribute me to be more than just an aging player with a temper but saying I managed to spark whatever that war was called is even more absurd than saying Polaris started it to help FoA. This thread isn't even interesting. I'm sure you could have at least dug up me pissed off, calling several alliance leaders choice words and ranting about wanting to destroy their alliances and nations. All this thread was is an obnoxious reminder of the fact that I haven't managed to quit yet and I'm surrounded almost entirely by idiots.
