Archon Posted March 5, 2009 Report Share Posted March 5, 2009 Actually, I was commenting to someone on AIM that I found it weird. Obviously I am a blowhard and a showboat, always have been. But I wasn't expecting much in the way of acknowledgement honestly. You've become a god to those you one oppressed in addition to those you ruled. Your OP reminded me of Dilber's drunken topic, actually. Now the question is whether you're going to live up to everyone's expectations.

Drai Posted March 5, 2009 Report Share Posted March 5, 2009 I wonder what the record is for the time it takes an alliance to form and reach sanction status. I would wager if you did form an alliance what ever the record was it would be blown out of the water. Atlantis beat Ragnarok by a few days. I think it was something around 5 months but I can't remember. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King Death II Posted March 5, 2009 Report Share Posted March 5, 2009 Atlantis beat Ragnarok by a few days. I think it was something around 5 months but I can't remember. I bet if Ivan really tried hard enough, it would be under 2 months Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't remember what the turnaround was, but it was pretty short. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seerow Posted March 5, 2009 Report Share Posted March 5, 2009 (edited) You've become a god to those you one oppressed in addition to those you ruled. Your OP reminded me of Dilber's drunken topic, actually. Now the question is whether you're going to live up to everyone's expectations. And how could this Giant among men fail to live up to their expectations? Surely if anybody can bring about change to this wasteland we call Bob it is Ivan, is it not? Edit: Also please don't tell me I need to put sarcasm tags around this. Edited March 5, 2009 by Seerow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corinan Posted March 5, 2009 Report Share Posted March 5, 2009 I'd join. I'd recommend that he deny your application. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ivan Moldavi Posted March 5, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2009 You've become a god to those you one oppressed in addition to those you ruled. Your OP reminded me of Dilber's drunken topic, actually. Now the question is whether you're going to live up to everyone's expectations. Very likely no, but that is how expectations go. The real question is do I actually care if I live up to anyone's expectations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ardus Posted March 5, 2009 Report Share Posted March 5, 2009 (edited) Very likely no, but that is how expectations go.The real question is do I actually care if I live up to anyone's expectations. You probably shouldn't and I imagine you don't. Edited March 5, 2009 by Lafayette Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snake Solidus Posted March 5, 2009 Report Share Posted March 5, 2009 I'd recommend that he deny your application. He probably would due to my being at war with 3 NPO nations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ragashingo Posted March 5, 2009 Report Share Posted March 5, 2009 Well this will be interesting. I was always of the opinion that Ivan was nothing more that a very good figurehead and that it was those under him doing the real work. I hope to be proven wrong. Welcome back.

BarbulaM1 Posted March 5, 2009 Report Share Posted March 5, 2009 Ivan you have become what Chris_Kaos is to GATO is to Pacifica. Defaced by ones who wished to keep power from the ones that seek too much. Maybe you can rebuild your image? Nevertheless, welcome back to the Cyberverse in true name, your presence I can assume will be interesting, which is something that, apart from what Vox provides, we need in the political landscape these days. Shall I call back your good friends? Walford, Chris and the gang? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
