Kenadian Posted April 25, 2009 Report Share Posted April 25, 2009 (edited) Yes, no, yes. Though, it should be noted, I didn't even know what the $%&@ the War of the Coalition was until a little while ago, seeing as I was on another continent when it happened. DJ had custody of my nation. >__> Edited April 25, 2009 by Kenadian_2006 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starcraftmazter Posted April 25, 2009 Report Share Posted April 25, 2009 IMA call them GWs, just because it makes it easier to link to them on the CN wiki. Also, IMO most big alliances fight = GW. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vilien Posted April 25, 2009 Report Share Posted April 25, 2009 If you think this isn't a Great War you are either1) delusional 2) using the definition of GW as "NPO vs the world." Which is funny since this war started out that way, heh actually know your history. Fixed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Razzia Posted April 25, 2009 Report Share Posted April 25, 2009 Yeah I was just looking at the Great Wars, and they were all MAINLY between NPO/The Initiative, and CoaLUEtion. Well one ceased to exist by the time The Unjust War happened. The Unjust war and the Karma war should then be something bigger because they don't follow the trend the first great wars do, and they both easily have more participants fighting than in the first three great wars. I would go for something like what captain flinders says "Really Big War", or maybe "Colossal War" "Massive War" or "Monumental War" The only problem now is that The Unjust War and the Karma War don't have too much in common.

Carrick Posted April 25, 2009 Report Share Posted April 25, 2009 1) delusional2) using the definition of GW as "NPO vs the world." Which is funny since this war started out that way, heh 3. Using the definition of GW as "three interconnected wars" involving the NPO and allies vs LUE and allies. And no, MK is not LUE and no, the last three global wars have nothing to do with the first three. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grand Emperor Brian Posted April 25, 2009 Report Share Posted April 25, 2009 (edited) Because [the first three Great Wars] had a relatively similar premise and were each a manifestation of the same continuing conflict, thus deserving the same name. This man speaks truth. Edited April 25, 2009 by Grand Emperor Brian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gruthenia Posted April 25, 2009 Report Share Posted April 25, 2009 This line is completely meaningless. LUE had effectively ceased to exist as an alliance by the time GWIII started thanks to their inability to understand the peace terms they recevied. Given that MK is essentially identical to LUE and in this war MK and NPO are the leaders of the two sides this is more of a 'Great War' than GWIII. It's actually been admitted by NPO leadership that the MK = LUE thing was a BS talking point to make us look bad, hope this helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homura Posted April 25, 2009 Report Share Posted April 25, 2009 I remember when everyone argued about whether or not the GW2 was really a "Great War". Also lol@all of you for arguing over this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baseballer790 Posted April 25, 2009 Report Share Posted April 25, 2009 No Great War only happens when there is NPO vs LUE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Death II Posted April 25, 2009 Report Share Posted April 25, 2009 And in MK there are more Ex-NPOers than there are EX-LUEsers so it should actually be called NPO 2.0 D: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hyruleland Posted April 25, 2009 Report Share Posted April 25, 2009 GW are NPO and their traditional allies vs. LUE and their traditional allies. That being said, those three wars should be in their own series, because it's the traditional NPO allies vs. traditional NPO allies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jason Salovsky Posted April 25, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2009 OP obviously haven't heard of GW I, GW II, or GW III.This war has the size for GW IV, but as one poster said, GW should reserved for LUE/NAAC vs NPO You say this because..........

Jokers Posted April 25, 2009 Report Share Posted April 25, 2009 For me a Great War is defined when the server can't handle the traffic load and some users get booted until half an hour after update. Therefore this is a great war. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fireguy15207 Posted April 25, 2009 Report Share Posted April 25, 2009 A year and a half after the Unjust War, and we're still arguing what defines a "Great War?" Come on people, the reason why I first got into this game was because of the originality of the community in their propaganda and and treaty names, etc. Be more original with the names instead of calling any old world war a "Great War X."

Neuromancer7 Posted April 25, 2009 Report Share Posted April 25, 2009 The term Great War means a Really big war with 2 big sides. It does not mean A war With NPO and LUE in it. Thus this is infact a Great war. I strongly agree with this guy. But that doesn't mean we can't call it something else Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Incitatus Posted April 25, 2009 Report Share Posted April 25, 2009 (edited) The three Great Wars bear their name because of the similarity of the wars. They all had the same thing going for them: LUE/NAAC/GATO vs NPO/NpO, it was a war of conquest on both sides. The mission was the same in everyone: GATO/LUE/NAAC wanted to beat the tar out of NPpO. The Unjust War doesn't even come close to a Great War, first of all it did NOT last that long and second of all it didn't exactly have the whole "Destroy NPO" vibe to it. The BLEU War (War of the Coalition) also was not a Great War because again, it did not have the "Destroy NPO" vibe. I could live with this most recent war being called a Great War due to it's anti-NPO nature and the feel of CnG has is very close to that of CoLUEtion/League/(WAEgis)Aegis. The main thing that differs between the Karma War and other Great Wars (other then the fact that the numbers aren't on NPO's side) is that it isn't lead by one war coalition, it is lead by many. (SuperFriends, Complaints and Grievances, Citadel, etc) Again I could live with this being called 'Great War IV' but then again I can see how people would be against calling it GWIV as well. If Great War IV becomes the common name for it, great. If not, great. To be honest, I think people should let the old guard (not the alliance) determine the name of it. Whatever they decide, I'm down with. EDIT: Spelling Edited April 25, 2009 by Incitatus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
