Gork Posted July 22, 2009 Report Share Posted July 22, 2009 I just realized how old this game makes me feel when I talk about it. I felt like the other old farts should share my burning pain of remembering all the time we wasted on this game. We had to bring up the subject for you to remember having played this long, you senile old coot. Also, happy 1000th wasteday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
potato Posted July 22, 2009 Report Share Posted July 22, 2009 Myself, Lebubu, and rafael will get in, our joint RE-application will not be denied. I have insiders I tell you! You have yourself to blame for that: I got you guys the interview, all you had to do is NOT screw up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stumpy Jung Il Posted July 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2009 You have yourself to blame for that: I got you guys the interview, all you had to do is NOT screw up. A good agent would have stood by us for the interview. Also, if you are so good, get us another one and make this right. :colbert: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The AUT Posted July 22, 2009 Report Share Posted July 22, 2009 (edited) You've been playing this game for 1,000 days too many eh Stumpy? Although you may hate this game you're still one of my favorite players. And I'm glad you do play this game even if you may not be so happy about it.

Dr. Dan Posted July 22, 2009 Report Share Posted July 22, 2009 Myself, Lebubu, and rafael will get in, our joint RE-application will not be denied. I have insiders I tell you! That would explain the "o/ Stumpy" posts and pictures of Robert Patterson that have come up recently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got you an interview with a joint app that wasn't even filled in. :colbert: I need to phone a few people and I'll get back to you about an alliance or two. Any preferences besides TOP?

Im glad people are still fighting for the rejection to get overturned. @Potato: Gramlins would be nice and so would Pacifica. Maybe GGA?

Rafael Nadal Posted July 22, 2009 Report Share Posted July 22, 2009 (edited) You have yourself to blame for that: I got you guys the interview, all you had to do is NOT screw up. Don't try to pass off the blame. We didn't hire you to get us an interview, we hired you to make it happen. Also, just know this Stumpy, for as long as we're in the same alliance, I will hate you. I will also hate you for as long as we're not in the same alliance. Weren't they? I miss LUE now and again, tbh. Only now and again? I hate to break it to you but the company you keep...>_> Edited July 22, 2009 by Rafael Nadal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delta1212 Posted July 22, 2009 Report Share Posted July 22, 2009 Here's to a year from now when there are 200 blocs, 90% of which suck, and we can complain about the good old days when at least blocs were individualistic and interesting.

Delta1212 Posted July 22, 2009 Report Share Posted July 22, 2009 Yeah, I feel bad for new players because they have no conception of how interesting alliances were back before there were fifty billion of them. They were actually distinct from each other rather than being variations on two dozen or so themes like they are now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, its like trying to describe the tension that existed leading up to GW2 and GW3 with outcomes that were still reasonably unseen before the war started. Its just impossible considering the current climate of the game. This last war was the closest its been to that in a while and even it was largely apparent early on.

Yeah, or the level of political dominance the sanctioned alliances really had. Hell, just the sheer size of them. Take trade spheres for example. If you could name five alliances from the same color sphere other than your own, that was pretty amazing. If a color sphere didn't have five alliances, it wasn't particularly interesting. You don't get the same kind of associations between alliances and colors as you did in the days when Legion was literally 80% of the entire Purple sphere. And political importance has become so diluted as to be pratically meaninngless. When I have as much if not more political clout than many sanctioned alliances, it's really just not the same experience at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rafael Nadal Posted July 22, 2009 Report Share Posted July 22, 2009 I wanted to keep out of the old man reminiscing, but I agree with everything you and Stumpy have been saying about why CN was more interesting in the past. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HeinousOne Posted July 22, 2009 Report Share Posted July 22, 2009 Hell, I am just over a year old here myself and I am already tired of seeing CN growing in the number of alliances and smaller in the size of alliances. Why does everyone have to have their own alliance? Do they think that gives them more political power then what they had? Being a leader of a 15 man alliance gets you nothing, if you have any power in that position it is due to the contacts you made before starting such and the leftover influence that followed you out the door of the place that made you. Sorry for continuing your rant Stumpy but the dilution of the world is reaching the rediculous level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's about building something from the ground up that you can call your own and see it become successful. At least....that's what it is for me. I'm here for my entertainment, not yours.

Ebony Wings Posted July 22, 2009 Report Share Posted July 22, 2009 You're not allowed to leave, Stumpy. If you leave, there won't be any further issues of Trashcat's Corner. Without Trashcat's Corner, CN will have 284% less rage. That said, I hate you and hope you die in a fire, you crabby old man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
