Sephiroth Posted December 8, 2012 Report Share Posted December 8, 2012 [quote name='Ernesto Che Guevara' timestamp='1354931301' post='3061587'] And which bloc would that be? OR are you referring to actions in the past? Because, you know, if they've changed things to move them away from DH....then...well, you'll have to reevaluate, right? [/quote] In the future if they change, my opinion of them will of course change. Although its what they do which matters much more than what they say, so them taking actions show how much they have changed is required for me to consider them as having really changed. You could say you've changed until you're blue in the face, but if in the next war you fight alongside GOONS yet again then you haven't changed much regardless of any talk or rumors. Its what we do which defines us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] If he's going to do a Schattenmann one, he should definitly do a Methrage one as well. Although not how you would want it. But I think Death can make some pretty good sigs if he wants to, so I kind of want one if he does any for individuals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Comrade Craig Posted December 8, 2012 Report Share Posted December 8, 2012 (edited) [quote name='jerdge' timestamp='1354966876' post='3061727'] To my understanding Death's original idea was the mocking of the initial concept and how to go about it, but to be honest I don't follow CN with much attention anymore: if I am wrong I stand corrected. I still love Death's execution and TBH, from an OOC point of view, I find the mocking more entertaining than the original. This is anyway natural, being this just a game. From an IC point of view the original ones are surely equally good and well executed. [/quote] Just when you think the single strand of hair cannot be split any further... Seriously though, I chuckled. It was clever, it got the instant reaction, so it was clearly successful. If I were to critique its propaganda value, I might say that it only speaks to its own friendly audience, and its audience is the true believers on what D34th sees as his side. It has no ability to sway people who are not already inclined to agree with him. So in the end, all it does is preach to the choir. I think his talents could be put to better use in a way that actually chips away at the core of the DH identity and its supposed pawns in C&G and other ancillary alliances. So it is really just throw-away cheer leading intended for a domestic audience. -Craig [i]edit: for clarification -- fixed bad wordings and stuff and things[/i] Edited December 8, 2012 by Comrade Craig Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If someone of the alliances mentioned in the sigs don't want to be what they are portrayed as, then as a secondary effect it might make some members of those alliances think about why people see them that way.

Goldie Posted December 8, 2012 Report Share Posted December 8, 2012 [quote name='Methrage' timestamp='1354924033' post='3061553'] They've been very well known to being a DH puppet for a long time, if they are trying to shake that image they haven't done enough to do so yet. After they've been a DH puppet for so long, latching onto a bloc of mostly DH members, it will take some action and effort on their part if they want to be seen differently.

[/quote] Your example is not based in the reality of the situation. We started the war we started because of our own reasons for starting it, and MK's desires never played in to it. Even if everything you say is true (of which none of it is), you are citing a 2 year old war that VE started as the only example of VE as "very well known to being a DH puppet for a long time" and I would like to see how someone can honestly say that.
