agnews Posted May 17, 2009 Report Share Posted May 17, 2009 (edited) i wish to open discussion on the peoples predictions for the next "hegemonic" bloc do you believe that the NPO + co will make the next when when they recover? or perhaps some of the karma participants will band together to make the next power structure or will their be no major power structure after this war Edited May 17, 2009 by agnews Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sal Paradise Posted May 17, 2009 Report Share Posted May 17, 2009 (edited) I think the NPO will be gathering a meatshield after this for sure. There are still plenty of alliance leaders out there lacking the crucial brain functions required to realize just what it means to be an ally of Pacifica. edit: oh, you mean a new hegemonic bloc? Unlikely. At least not for a while. Edited May 17, 2009 by Sal Paradise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anenu Posted May 17, 2009 Report Share Posted May 17, 2009 do you mean no large blocs or a new mega bloc? Cause their will be new blocs and some blocs will grow closer with other blocs. But i highly doubt that a super bloc will emerge any time soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe Kremlin Posted May 17, 2009 Report Share Posted May 17, 2009 We'll probably see at least 3 major blocs including the existing ones (which will probably add alliances). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Brendan Posted May 17, 2009 Report Share Posted May 17, 2009 (edited) I don't think we'll see a super bloc to the same degree as Continuum, but the SuperCitadel of Oranges & Grievances could form a loose hegemony for sure. Barring a SF-Cit or SF-C&G dispute (the only ones that seem remotely possible), I'd say that's what's going to happen.

Diomede Posted May 17, 2009 Report Share Posted May 17, 2009 There is always a power structure. How it manifests itself, is a different subject entirely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owned-You Posted May 17, 2009 Report Share Posted May 17, 2009 There won't be one central bloc that runs things like tC did. However, there will be various small blocs comprised of alliances whom are friendly with each other. And based upon those core members relations to other blocs, the various blocs will be linked together one way or another. Thus in some cases they'll work together for the mutual benefit of there respective blocs, or they'll work against each other to gain more power. Lastly, the term "Bloc" implies a formal treaty of some-sort...I can already tell you there are various informal blocs operating without a treaty.

Nintenderek Posted May 17, 2009 Report Share Posted May 17, 2009 (edited) I think it's unlikely that there will be one, however if there is, I believe NPO will do the same thing it did with WUT, where a bunch of new alliances will be founded by people who were part of the hegemony in the past, and NPO will found a bloc with all of them. Most, if not all the alliances that will be in this bloc, have not been founded yet besides NPO, but they will all gain 100 members each with in 6 months. EDIT: When I say past hegemony alliances, I mean people who were part of alliances in 1V and Q and that side of this war Edited May 17, 2009 by Nintenderek Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

History says it's possible, and it won't just be the pool of existing nations. New nations will join these alliances as well, however they will be founded and governed by existing nations.

Sovereign Dixie Posted May 17, 2009 Report Share Posted May 17, 2009 The Hegemony will be replaced, and a new bloc will rise to preeminence. That's just the way of things. I don't see there being a "Hegemonic" bloc at the helm of Bob for a while though. While C&G or one of the other core Karma blocs may take the top, I can't see them acting in the same manner as the Hegemony. Hopefully, what we'll see instead though, is 3 or 4 blocs achieving more or less equal power and influence. That would make things much more interesting. You can sort of already see that happening. There are a good number of people who neither agree with Karma or the Hegemony. That's a good thing, I think. A multiplicity of factions and viewpoints will hopefully lead to Planet Bob becoming a much more interesting place, as well as requiring more thought from us as players as to whom we wish to throw our lot in with. As for the NPO, I'd say a new bloc from them is an inevitable eventuality. No matter how much they are beaten down, they will retain their core. They've been around too long not to, and they will always have friends. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boscher Posted May 17, 2009 Report Share Posted May 17, 2009 After this war you will still have Superfriends, Citadel and NpO and allies. I think those three will be the dominant powers for the months ahead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mixoux Posted May 17, 2009 Report Share Posted May 17, 2009 There's gonna have to be some strong-arming first from one of the blocs to position themselves into a nice, cozy spot at the top. As it is now there's no 'bloc to rule them all' setup as Citadel, Superfriends, and C&G are all fairly close in strength. By themselves, anyway.

Mogar Posted May 17, 2009 Report Share Posted May 17, 2009 There's already tensions building amongst those 3 "blocs" I'm doubting they'll be able to make a hegemony, the next major war will probably be between those blocs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

History, depending on how far back you go, was during a time when the average nation was far less developed and so building yourself up to be comparatively large wasn't as difficult Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpoiL Posted May 17, 2009 Report Share Posted May 17, 2009 (edited) I doubt there will be another bloc as massive as the Continuum so soon..with nearly every major alliance a part of it. Next Bloc: STA + NSO + NpO = The Awesome that'd be great...needs more MK though Edited May 17, 2009 by SpoiL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
