Or due to posts from other alliances? Also what dictated my feelings is constantly hoping your alliance would actually get its head out of the sand and show some humility. I'm not gonna lie, i was probably one of the last still hoping our alliances could make amends. Shame things never worked out but it can't be said things weren't attempted.

Olaf Styke Posted November 29, 2011 Report Share Posted November 29, 2011 [quote name='Dochartaigh' timestamp='1322424744' post='2853941'] As others have said, this is not a new precedent. We also had TPF hit for a 5-6 month old CB a couple(?) years ago. As for pre-emptive strikes, again not new either. In fact, TOP spearheaded this precedent several years ago during WoTC. As for why this war is happening, frankly, it is happening for various reasons, 1 of which is that Grub refused to swallow his pride and admit he $%&@ed up majorly. Yes, I supported the move then and frankly still do. TOP/co were not allies of Polaris and in fact were at best frinemies (however you spell that word). Grub/Polaris took a chance to bring down a potential enemy. Unfortunately, they apparently pissed off MK who then struck a deal with TOP and signed a treaty due to Polaris losing massive amounts of political capital for that action. Now, over the past 2 years, I honestly don't know how many, if any, actions were taken between Polaris and TOP/Co to try and move past it but I know one action that was probably never taken, and again it falls to Grub swallowing his pride. Hell, even Ivan swallowed his pride at the end of GW1 even if only for a few months. Polaris, as much as I love ya'll, seriously, ya'll used to be a whole lot better at the diplomatic game. You been slipping a lot and the trolling done by certain Polars have not helped much. Hopefully after this war, this grudge can finally be laid to rest though I doubt a friendship will be anywhere remotely close. Take the beating, humble yourselves appropriately, and realize that Polaris is no longer anywhere close to a power player. I know this has been done somewhat but it needs to be done more. This CB is about as legit as 90% of the other CBs that have ever been used including those used by Polaris. The odds are not exactly known as it could be Polar/co alongside XX/SF which will help out some. The opposite side will have PF/PB/MK/CnG/Mj/DR/Poseidon so basically ya'll will lose but fight hard and then rebuild and work on bettering relations, which would most likely include shutting D34th and Grub up and stopping with the victim playing. [/quote] I put it to you: When has an Emperor of Polaris ever been able to shut up? As fond as I am of NpO, it's in their nature, as it is in the nature of all of the so called "Orders" fashioned in the glory days of the NPO, to be boastful, arrogant, and generally elitist and condescending. NpO wouldn't be NpO if they didn't have their pride. There is something to be said for the integrity of an alliance's character... even if it is annoying. Would NpO have gotten in this war if they'd bothered to swallow their pride and build bridges? No. But then again, they wouldn't be NpO if they had.

Also I'm actually pretty relaxed and chill. So I have basically not been any of the things you just said. It doesn't matter though.

[/quote] True enough, and in all honesty I had forgotten about you when I wrote that... which is, it's self, fairly telling. You are the most level-headed, least audacious, and least vocal of Polar's Royals (IMHO). Ivan Moldavi, Tygaland, Electron Sponge, Grub... big names in NpO's history who were certainly not without their eccentricities, and who left a lasting mark on Polar's culture and reputation. You may be a more humble and conciliatory head of state than your predecessors, but unfortunately you've inherited their legacy, and it takes more than one good emperor to expunge a reputation 6 years in the making. Especially, I should point out, given the position you've had to work from. Sponge & Co. made NpO's reputation in Polar's heyday, when the NPO-NpO-GOONS axis was at the center of CN's comparatively simple treaty web, and Polar posters made arrogant and self-righteous posts on the OWF with impunity. Now, with NpO and NPO largely sidelined, the rest of the world isn't hanging on the emperor's every word anymore, and it makes it much harder to change your image (especially with such polite, soft-spoken leadership). Now I'll admit that I'm a dinosaur in CN, and that, in all honesty, I'm still living in the Golden Age of Cybernations when it was League vs. Initiative, and everything was a lot less complicated... but there seem to be enough people like me out there, who haven't been able to shake the idea of NpO as 'the bad guy', that there still isn't a whole lot of sympathy for NpO, and plenty in the way of animosity. It seems if NpO is genuine about changing it's image, admitting it's mistakes, and improving it's relations with the world at large, it's going to have to say it much louder than it already has, because it seems people just aren't listening. In any case, as far as your particular stint as emperor goes, I have to reserve judgment on it, as do we all, until you've finished your term. One can't rightly judge a work in progress. Just because you aren't a tyrannous egomaniac today, doesn't mean you won't turn in to one (not that I think you will, mind you, you've never said so much as an unkind word to anyone that I can recall). In any case, you and your alliance have my sympathies in this conflict. I think we all expected TOP and IRON to seek vengeance for what happened in Bi-Polar... but we expected it to happen two years ago, when this !@#$ was fresh, not NOW. Best of luck in the war. The way things are going, it won't be long before the chains start going off, and I start taking nukes in Polar's honour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
