Owned-You Posted July 9, 2009 Report Share Posted July 9, 2009 What is my intent? Become Re-Interested in Cybernations Politics How do I plan to carry out my intent? By observing the OWF and posting when I have the opportunity and frequenting various IRC channels. Why does my methodology fall in line with my intent? Because the game in itself is dreadfully bland, and the only real object of intrigue has been politics for myself. Where might I have done something wrong along the way? By taking vacations from CN, thus causing me to lose interest in CN. Who have I wronged to carry out my intent? Friends & Family...And some less then savvy posters.

Why does my methodology fall in line with my intent? Your arguments are the same things over and over. Where might I have done something wrong along the way? I haven't. Other than signing up for CN in the first place Who have I wronged to carry out my intent? Myself. What is my intent? To insult and ridicule Jabbawockeez. How do I plan to carry out my intent? To post this template of clear intent, and also ask, 'Why? Just...why?' Why does my methodology fall in line with my intent? Because I'm a Pacifican, and therefore evil, Francoism = Facism after all of course. Where might I have done something wrong along the way? Made a spelling or grammar error perhaps? Ate a baby that had been left out of the freezer for too long? Who have I wronged to carry out my intent?

Lizardo Posted July 12, 2009 Report Share Posted July 12, 2009 (edited) You found 'The Template of Clear Intent' playing D&D, yes? You know, this thread was actually a good idea....shame no one is taking it seriously. Wrong on both counts. What is my intent? A: To deceive, inveigle and obfuscate. How do I plan to carry out my intent? A: By posting useless feel good templates. Why does my methodology fall in line with my intent? A: The questions I provided will force a person to break down their mental processes until they are completely unresponsive. Where [might] I have done something wrong along the way? A: followed too closely some moronic template. Who [might] have I wronged to carry out my intent? A: As many as possible consistent with my intent and keeping under the radar of the CN thought police. You should feel obliged to delve as deeply into the past as you like, just don't come back with anything useful. Please don't restrain yourself just for the sake of this thread; People are attempting to allow others to understand themselves, which is likely a bad idea considering what evil lurks in the hearts of men. Now do what you will. This thread's success depends entirely on the Cyberverse now, so pray for divine intervention. Are we there yet?

Valerius Posted July 12, 2009 Report Share Posted July 12, 2009 What is my intent? I generally pursue morality. I know it's a subjective thing, but I have very strong principles and everything I do and say is centered around them. I believe in the freedom to say what you want, I believe in the responsibility to deal with the consequences of this, and I believe in true friendship. How do I plan to carry out my intent? By speaking out against that which goes against my principles. I don't personally take military action, at least not of my own accord. Why does my methodology fall in line with my intent? My methods are, just like my principles, tolerant yet persistent. Where might I have done something wrong along the way? * Snort. Who have I wronged to carry out my intent? I guess being in Vox I may have wronged the Hegemony. My bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ellis Posted July 12, 2009 Report Share Posted July 12, 2009 81. All victims of the Trigon lottery (For those who don't know, I went into the #cnvalhalla channel for a few cycles and basically had people guess numbers. Based on the numbers that people guessed, 1-40, I would attack said nations on that page. It is the "trigon" lottery because I would always add in Trigon leaving two slots for lottery randomness.) I wondered how you decided on who to attack, original and funny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayOvfEnnay Posted July 12, 2009 Report Share Posted July 12, 2009 (edited) I wondered how you decided on who to attack, original and funny Heh, there were only a few people who I have taken apologies to privately, Moo was one of them. Perhaps 10-12 people? Those were the folks that honestly deserved one. I did miss a few who still honestly deserved it, but hopefully they will find their way to this topic.

You miss the point (either that or I've failed to entirely penetrate the copious layers of sarcasm). The idea here is to help people flesh out their thoughts and reasoning, either for personal or public use... You can keep it private if you wish. It's just a way to think ideas through. That's the way I understand it anyway. -Bama Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hegemon Rob Posted July 13, 2009 Report Share Posted July 13, 2009 What is my intent?

kulomascovia Posted July 13, 2009 Report Share Posted July 13, 2009 As people before me have said, the template is an excellent idea and I thank you for making it. However, I think that there should be a question that forces people to present at least part of their evidence. I know you created this in order to clarify arguments but I think that evidence would be a good addition to the template. Also, I think this should be a sticky!

Poyplemonkeys Posted July 14, 2009 Report Share Posted July 14, 2009 (edited) What is my intent? 1) To clear my list of 'saved nations' by attacking each one, either during a war or by going rogue at some point. 2) To run an alliance based on my ideas, and my methods. It may well fail, and I've no intentions of doing it anytime soon but it's something I will try at one point. 3) To get back to being fully interested in the politics of the game, following the forums as close as I did before. How do I plan to carry out my intent? 1) We'll see how fate conspires. I've only cleared 1 nation off of the list so far so it's slow work Needs more wars as I don't plan on going rogue yet. 2) I don't yet, nor any time soon. I like it where I am, but at the point I don't I'll assess my options and see if it's viable or if I need to wait longer. Either way I'll carry it out by just doing it whenever I feel the time is right. 3) I'm just reading more, it's helping that there have been a few contentious issues lately that I could debate on and read others' opinions with a lot of interest. Why does my methodology fall in line with my intent? Well it just enables me to carry out my intent to be honest. There's no deeper notion to it. My methodology is to pretty much do things as and when I can/want to. Where [might] I have done something wrong along the way? I don't think I've gone wrong yet. I've not passed up opportunities or missed opportunities with regards to 1 and 2. I've still a lot to learn before I try 2 and I'm going about that constantly, and the 1 opportunity I had with 1 I took. Who [might] have I wronged to carry out my intent? I don't remember her name. Dream mistress or something like that. She was the only nation that I've actually achieved my aim of giving a kick in the teeth. She tech raided me when she was in The Cartel and I was in a 100 member alliance. Was about 6 months later that she came out of peace mode and I paid some ickle nations in her range to exact revenge on my behalf. So I guess she was wronged, but then again she started it. Meh, I don't feel I wronged her, nor anyone on the list if I happen to take the opportunity. They might feel differently though Edit: stupid smilies Edited July 14, 2009 by Poyplemonkeys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lizardo Posted July 15, 2009 Report Share Posted July 15, 2009 (edited) Also, where in the hell in D&D would I find this? You have to play with someone, besides yourself, who will write the words done on a piece of paper and give it to you after you've slayed the appropriate number of imaginary critters with your wD20. You miss the point.. Not at all, you just expected a lot of 'feel good granola' uses. The dark side calls too strongly .... .. I've failed to entirely penetrate the copious layers of sarcasm ... What sarcasm? The idea here is to help people flesh out their thoughts and reasoning ... They'd be better off investing in kiddie porn. At most it has limited value as a after the fact tool for putting an analysis in some readable order. Try getting material from junior year philosophy instead of freshman psychobabble.

Thanks for this. I'll be absolutely sure to play DnD when I find the time to care. You are also looking way to far into this. It's just an idea I came up with. I hoped to clear up the !@#$%^&*, perhaps. In any case, why do you care? It's as simple as not participating if you don't like what I offered, or believed that it wouldn't work. It would have produced better results. You filling out my little template has only helped this thread stay alive, making it counter-productive to what I'm sure you would want it to do: Die.

Lizardo Posted July 17, 2009 Report Share Posted July 17, 2009 (edited) .. making it counter-productive to what I'm sure you would want it to do: Die. My intent was plainly stated. It was too obvious to be believed thus it contained its own methodology. Quite efficient. I'm completely apathetic as to the life or death of this thread. So far, no one's caught the one actual joke. In any case, why do you care? I wasn't aware that I did. Well, say an idle keyboard is the devil's hand job. It's been great fun filling out your little template and I look forward to the next installment. I just don't think it's useful in any meaningful way beyond simple masturbation.
