Rayvon Posted May 17, 2014 Report Share Posted May 17, 2014 Sorry, but it was nazi propaganda. It was proven, and this issue got the international attention it needed. Ummm no. It wasn't "proven" ... They had symbols that, in the wrong context as Rey says, CAN definitely be categorized as Nazi -- but the main issue that Norway had, was that their national anthem was being used in conjunction with the questionable imagery. ... Hurt pride mixed with their poor intelligence (the military branch, not calling the entire nation idiots) they thought it was an legitimate Nazi cell forming behind this imagery (rather than just a group of like-minded Nazi individuals and non-Nazi individuals improperly and inappropriately utilizing real life content in an online role play game).

The Zigur Posted May 17, 2014 Report Share Posted May 17, 2014 It dragged on over a bunch of stupid !@#$%^&*. That should have been one of the quicker global wars, given the cause and how quickly the end result was settled. How could global stability be established if the neo-imperialists were not decisively defeated :p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beauty Posted May 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2014 Trying to bring this up 7 years after the fact is a little ubsurd. The scars still haunt us to this very day. Ummm no.

Very poor intelligence, Might i add. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keysariyt Hanssen Posted May 17, 2014 Report Share Posted May 17, 2014 The scars still haunt us to this very day. The scars don't haunt "us" at all. They haunt Nordreich, which you are not a part of. Nordreich was the target of the Norwegian government. Nordreich is the only party that can claim damages as a result of their accusations. Cyber Nations at the time benefited more than anything from this due to the fact that the whole fiasco brought a flux of players via media exposure. While the original NoR in fact did have quite a few Nazi members (and the reincarnation has had at the very least one confirmed, but I don't keep up with petty internet !@#$%^&* I'm here to play a political simulator), the symbols in question definitely can be used outside of Nazi context. "Quite a few" has been proven by some of our old blood to be an overstatement. As for the modern Nordreich, as has been stated countless times, if a single national socialist makes it through those doors and we uncover it later, I will personally ensure their nation burns and remains ZI.

I meant that we still have a lot of players from the NoRway ordeal. I'd didn't say the scars were bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keysariyt Hanssen Posted May 19, 2014 Report Share Posted May 19, 2014 I meant that we still have a lot of players from the NoRway ordeal. I'd didn't say the scars were bad. Haunting carries a negative connotation, and you asserted that the "scars still haunt us", therefore stating that the scars were negative. Maybe you should be focusing on working on your understanding of the English tongue rather than other alliances past grievances. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The scars still haunt me from my Appendix surgery, but I am glad I didn't die of a rupture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neo Uruk Posted May 19, 2014 Report Share Posted May 19, 2014 (edited) if the scars still haunt you, that means you have trauma from the actual surgery itself.You were not accused of Nazism. However, someone can't wear the NoR tag without catching funny looks unless they have an established history.

Finch Posted May 30, 2014 Report Share Posted May 30, 2014 First time I've logged in in years on this site I think, but I have to say as one of the guys In the Original NoR before we went to NoV and was there during that Incident, I have to say who cares what the Norwegian government thinks srs. It was 7 years ago its time to move on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
