Bob Janova Posted February 10, 2009 Report Share Posted February 10, 2009 He said we left Green 'to evade a fight', which isn't quite accurate. Personally, I doubt there would ever have been a fight, but regardless, the primary reason was that we were sick of the drama and wanted to move to a more politically and economically stable home, not that we were particularly worried about what could happen if we stayed in Green. That's not really the topic of this thread though, and since necAnt was with us through all that time I'm going to put that down to transliteration problems. Anyone who can look at my web and see anything more than 'ooh, pretty' and 'zomg so many lines' is doing better than me, to be honest. Time will tell if it condenses as Sponge suggests, although if it is valid intel one must question his motives, as posting it in advance would be likely to dissuade alliances from actually joining and thereby preserve the status quo – something which I wouldn't think Sponge would be in favour of. The short answer is that Grämlins have been fence straddling for some time (etc) While you can't be entirely accurate about an alliance you have never been a part of, this does rather kill New Mombasa's view that our foreign policy is driven only by survival at all costs. And yes, we have a diversity of opinion on Continuum as we do on all things; it's one of our most valuable traits in my opinion. The membership certainly didn't fence-sit when we took the vote though These threads are always interesting, not because what is posted in them is necessarily true but because it always betrays certain genuine hopes, fears or political differences – even the joking posts have some value in most cases. As for the rumours that have reached me, I think they have been mentioned already: the TPF-TGE-FOK business being a catalyst for GW5; various permutations of Continuum/OV vs Citadel and/or SF (both completely unfeasable if you look at the treaty web); a second rolling of 'BLEU 2.0'. None of them seem all that likely to me; the next source of major drama is, imo, yet to be discovered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slayer99 Posted February 10, 2009 Report Share Posted February 10, 2009 Yes, actually. They've gone into super sekirt mode so that they will be able to launch their sudden blitz on all of CN. It's all part of the "neutral" plan. How about this: NPO will merge with Vox Populi, V-member and W-member will return, and Admin will reset the game. Don't forget the return of Franzjosef, the Flying Tigers, and the Crimson Blades...they're forming a block to take on tC, SF, and the Citadel...

Mogar Posted February 10, 2009 Report Share Posted February 10, 2009 Bob, why dont you think its feasible? treaties can get canceled, and the war doesnt need to start with a major alliance, major wars have been started through protectorates before, it's entirely possible to happen again.

Bob Janova Posted February 10, 2009 Report Share Posted February 10, 2009 I don't think it's feasible because it's not just paper but friendships (or even shared signatories) that bind those blocs together. None of the parties have any incentive or motive to undermine the other. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thing is, Sponge doesn't care about anyone other than Sponge. Truth is but one mere obstacle in his quest for more attention. Who cares what happens as long as people once again listen to the almighty Electron Sponge. o/ Electron Sponge and his quest to restore his cult of personality Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cowman809 Posted February 10, 2009 Report Share Posted February 10, 2009 I heard the same general rumor. Citadel vs OV. Valhalla was supposed to start the war. Q splits with Sparta and MHA most importantly going to the Citadel side. SF will join Citadel too. OV will be joined by Poseidon, some green alliances, some of OUT. OUT is supposed to split too with TORN and IRON among others on OV and RnR, TOP, and FOK on Citadel. Citadel won in my rumors and Vox is supposed to be "positioning" itself in a position to get off its ZI sentence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I highly doubt OV by our lonesome would want to take on Citadel. It might be one wild ride on the way down, though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It might be one wild ride on the way down, though Yeah, but I usually see One Vision abbreviated both ways (OV and 1V) and OV was faster to type so I chose it.

You want to go against this: He mooed we must fight, escape or we'll dieCows gathered around, cause the steaks were so high Bad cow pun But then he was captured, stuffed into a crate Loaded onto a truck, where he rode to his fate Cows are bummed He was a scrawny calf, who looked rather woozy No one suspected he was packing an Uzi Cows with guns They came with a needle to stick in his thigh He kicked for the groin, he pissed in their eye Cow well hung Knocked over a tractor and ran for the door Six gallons of gas flowed out on the floor Run cows run! He picked up a bullhorn and jumped up on the hay We are free roving bovines, we run free today We will Ffight for bovine Cfreedom And Ehold our large heads Amhigh We will run free with the Buffalo, or die Cows with guns They crashed the gate in a great stampede Tipped over a milk truck, torched all the feed Cows have fun Sixty police cars were piled in a heap Covered in cow pies, covered up deep Much cow dung Black smoke rising, darkening the day Twelve burning In and Out Burgers, all with back doors We will fight for bovine freedom And hold our large heads high We will run free with the Buffalo, or die Cows with guns The President said "enough is enough These uppity cattle, its time to get tough" Cow dung flung The newspapers gloated, folks sighed with relief Tomorrow at noon, they would all be ground beef Cows on buns The cows were surrounded, they waited and prayed They mooed their last moos, they chewed their last hay Cows out gunned The order was given to turn cows to whoppers Enforced by the might of ten thousand coppers But on the horizon surrounding the shoppers Came the deafening roar of chickens in choppers We will fight for bovine freedom And hold our large heads high We will run free with the Buffalo, or die Cows with guns Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
