Xiphosis Posted August 14, 2011 Report Share Posted August 14, 2011 [quote name='JoshuaR' timestamp='1313290916' post='2780259'] Could you elaborate on why you think we'd be better off with PB having more involvement in matters? [/quote] Generally, more involvement = more control over the direction events take = less likely for them to get to a point you dislike.

[/quote] Too much control and then we are the problem, not the solution. Too little control and we are someone else's solution. It all requires some balance. With luck we will strike that balance. To all of SF: If you could use a time machine to go back to a certain time point in CN's history (with the general idea of changing your alliance/bloc's position at this present time point, for better, for worse, or for more interesting, your choice), what time point would you return to? You don't have to tell me why. You don't have to say what you would change going forward. And you don't have to have the intention to alter your course in any major way.

Feanor Noldorin Posted August 14, 2011 Report Share Posted August 14, 2011 [quote name='Feanor Noldorin' timestamp='1313253086' post='2779671'] How many times have you guys worked on politically isolating people you disliked or used "backroom politics" to ensure people that you disliked stay isolated? [/quote] I think my question was skipped over. I'm hoping it wasn't done on purpose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delta1212 Posted August 14, 2011 Report Share Posted August 14, 2011 [quote name='Feanor Noldorin' timestamp='1313303483' post='2780387'] I think my question was skipped over. I'm hoping it wasn't done on purpose. [/quote] Personally? I probably need to put NPO down pre-Karma. That wasn't really an attempt at isolation, which really wouldn't have been politically feasible at the time, so much as an attempt to build a force to counter theirs. Post-war, they did wind up fairly isolated, but as far as I can tell, most people contributed to that isolation without prompting by anyone else, so far as I'm aware. I'm guilty of not talking to them, but that's about it. Oh, actually, I did consider trying to divert certain people away from Polar using NPO. That one I do have to admit to, though it was more that a war against Polar was going to be really bad for us than anything I had against Pacifica. And I'd spoken to almost no one about it before the war blew up, anyway, so I hadn't managed to accomplish anything in that direction. Trying to be complete, though.

You would go back and change all of the good times we've been through over the past few months sourness? We wouldn't change any of it, except the outcome.
