Sileath Posted July 8, 2009 Report Share Posted July 8, 2009 That's exactly the point I made. So how about you peace is a lie your way onto a DoW against BTA? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corinan Posted July 8, 2009 Report Share Posted July 8, 2009 So how about you peace is a lie your way onto a DoW against BTA? It would be beneath us and a waste of our time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uhtred Posted July 8, 2009 Report Share Posted July 8, 2009 I didn't put much thought into this, besides what I feel is happening to CN(like, I did, but it all came from me, errr... you know what I mean!) Think about it. Eventually nations will be utterly peaceful in CN, and TE will be the only war-mongering Cyber Nations You should probably put more thought into it next time then, especially as you raised the subject entirely.

Neo Uruk Posted July 8, 2009 Report Share Posted July 8, 2009 Are you this desperate to feel important? I'm not desperate at all, but honestly he's made posts in threads not having to do with BTA, and made his posts about BTA surrendering/begging for help. But no, I don't need to be here to feel important, in fact that's a bit redundant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sal Paradise Posted July 9, 2009 Report Share Posted July 9, 2009 (edited) Your comment just seemed like petty nonsense. There seems to be a great many of you that follow Sileath around and twist everything he says into some half-baked insult. Sometimes you don't even bother with the twisting the part. You just say whatever stupid thing comes to mind. Put some damn effort into it. Edited July 9, 2009 by Sal Paradise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neo Uruk Posted July 9, 2009 Report Share Posted July 9, 2009 (edited) OP: Not enough war in CNMy post: Join me in my war Explain how it is off-topic please. It contributed nothing to the topic, and was addressed to a statement that "peace is a lie." You can't verily say that you were discussing actual issues contained within the OP, as your war is a lost cause anyway, and you just want the attention (your underlying reason for starting said war.) And for reference, the OP was stating that he was worried that "world powers would stop wars," not that little wars weren't occuring often enough.

Ying Yang Mafia Posted July 9, 2009 Report Share Posted July 9, 2009 (edited) I agree. I fail to see the excitement to be found in a neutral alliance. I was bored out of my mind before the war, the only thing that kept me going was holding a government job. I cannot imagine running my nation for months with the only excitement buying infra, tech, and wonders with nothing really to show for them. I understand that I am not unique and there are many people who are content to never fight a war, but that will never be me.

Fort Pitt Posted July 9, 2009 Report Share Posted July 9, 2009 I don't support all peace in a world like this, that is what makes it easier for people to take over. Wars should be more often but of smaller size. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChairmanHal Posted July 9, 2009 Report Share Posted July 9, 2009 Anyone who thinks we've seen the last large scale war needs to consider checking into rehab first thing tomorrow. Your problem is no longer "recreational". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qaianna Posted July 9, 2009 Report Share Posted July 9, 2009 There will be war. So long as human beings have anger, jealousy, and hatred in their hearts, peace will only ever be temporary. You left out fear. You don't have to be angry or jealous or hateful of another person to declare war. But if you somehow convince yourself that they're going to do something, that 'Launch Cruise Missile' button looks awfully tempting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gorbie Posted July 9, 2009 Report Share Posted July 9, 2009 (edited) What TDO and GPA do is not world peace but rather absolute isolationism. They are not interested in preventing war but simply refuse to have anything to do with the fighting. *sigh* You just don't get it. While I can't speak for TDO, I can assure you that GPA is not practicing isolationism. Just because we don't get involved in affairs that are none of our buisness doesn't mean we're isolationist. We post on the forums. We sell tech to other alliances. We have good relations with many alliances on Planet Bob. Here is what we practice: GPA Declaration of NeutralityThe Principles and Values of the Green Protection Agency (GPA) require that all GPA nations are legally bound to pursue friendly and impartial conduct toward all other nations and Alliances and maintain strict military and political neutrality and non-intervention. As for the OP, I think part of what is causing your perception is nations getting tired of being dragged into a sensless war or being the victim of one. Many of the recent changes in treaties and even overall outlooks on topics such as tech raiding, EZI/PZI show that people are tired of the way things have been done and are looking for change. As amusing as it would be for the "Neutral Menace" to take over Planet Bob, I just don't see it happening anytime soon. In the meantime, we'll be over here watching the fireworks and Edited July 9, 2009 by Gorbie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loch Ness Monster Posted July 9, 2009 Report Share Posted July 9, 2009 I can speak for TDO. 1. We have been around for a while actually. 2 and a half years as of the 17th this July. 2. We have no "Global Peace Thingy". We have our Decleration of Global Nuetrality. It does not push for world peace, but is a NAP between us and the rest of Bob. TDO wouldn't mind world peace, but is not activly pushing it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fear is another emotion that often leads to conflict. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
