Monster Posted April 20, 2012 Report Share Posted April 20, 2012 i mean Qazzy and dragontaxi weren't john ron, so it wasn't just him putting the work in tbh. I mean Daikos would probably be authoritative on aircastle or SCM since they were allied. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stumpy Jung Il Posted April 20, 2012 Report Share Posted April 20, 2012 [quote name='Buds The Man' timestamp='1334849688' post='2955756'] PC needs to be on that list. Even though we would always end up fighting in the end it was more for fun than true hatred at least that is how I always felt. I would defend Kronos posistion on the list they were a great AA that left well before its time should have been up. Athens in my mind should be a top 5 on this list. No matter if you loved them or hated them they stirred the pot very well. TDSM8 needs to be much higher. I miss stumpy. [/quote] Howdy.

Zhaan Posted April 21, 2012 Report Share Posted April 21, 2012 Seems to me it would've been better to host an open debate on this subject, analyze the facts and opinions offered by the community, and derive the list from there....as a joint effort. Still, it's a fun topic and I enjoyed seeing GUN's honorable mention, although I don't feel that we ever did anything that shaped the politics of Bob or had any significant impact outside of our own walls.

[/quote] Oh, I agree. His ability to cover staggers on a large number of nations was crucial to the overall war effort. On the other hand, I can't think of one thing that MA ever did as an alliance. Hell, I didn't even know they disbanded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zoomzoomzoom Posted April 21, 2012 Report Share Posted April 21, 2012 Let's get real. Half of those alliances are about as relevant as TOOL was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AAAAAAAAAAGGGG Posted April 22, 2012 Report Share Posted April 22, 2012 Any alliance that merged with another (or two) to create a new alliance isn't really one that disbands (PC, iFOK, Athens, GR, and =LOST= for example). I'd only really count ones that either had a disbandment notice (LUE, or Genmay) or faded away into obscurity (old GOONS). An alliance being absorbed? That's a bit debatable, I guess.

[/quote] Do you remember atrophis from years ago? His whiny anti-NPO rhetoric actually caused me to somewhat support NPO's position, not because of any of their actions were justified but because I tired of seeing someone spamming anti-NPO crap so poorly. I don't really care in the slightest about Umbrella except in a "they were once Citadel" sense and quite a few ex-Kronos are there/went there. But seeing stuff like this spewed EVERYWHERE makes me support them instinctively. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of people hurled insults at atrophis and I remember it. He got what he wanted at the end and it didn't really have to do anything with people liking/disliking FAN in the end. The fact that mere posting can make you support unjustified actions says a lot about your character and instincts, tbh. :> I think it's a pretty dumb cow position to hold to support someone simply because someone states opposition in an irritating fashion. It's basically "I will side with GOONS because I'm tired of all threads." Honestly, I hated most of the people who posted awful rhetoric in previous wars and have mostly gotten off scott-free, but you don't see me pursuing them for it in an active sense. I don't really see why you think it's spamming poorly when I've made pretty constructive posts for the most part. Am I going to have to spell out the issues with Umbrella for you? 1. #1 alliance statistically in every area. Pushover for smaller alliances if they're named MK or allied to MK, has no spine. Will turn on anyone for MK's sake. They even know that they're not thought of highly by them, but are willing to take any abuse regardless. 2. Membership has an average IQ of 20, allowed to make decisions. Jesus christ. Might as well disband.

If the best they (and you) have is petty tactics to make Umbrella/NPO look bad then how can your position be right? If I was in a debate and responded with a large number of "lol" or "no u" statements consistently that will reflect poorly on me, period, regardless of how right what I am saying is. [quote]I don't really see why you think it's spamming poorly when I've made pretty constructive posts for the most part.

I bet Umbrella is "more of an alliance" than 50% of the AA's with 20+ members, minimum. Inactive and incompetent alliances are nothing new to CN (if Umbrella even is).
