Stumpy Jung Il Posted July 23, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2009 (edited) and to think that with VanHoo Gone your were finally the one pulling all the strings.o/ This sucky game Dont fool yourselves, I was always pulling the strings. @Delta - Yeah for reals, I completely forgot about how awesome colors use to be. Remember when it actually felt like alliances owned a sphere? Or how it was a big deal with NpO was made on blue cause everyone thought THEIR spheres would be next. No one owns a sphere anymore other than NPO (kind of?) and thats really weird to think about. EDIT: Also, all this speculation about Trashcat's Corner ever coming back is lulz. Im skeptical myself.

I don't hate you, but CN will be a nicer place without you spewing verbal pollution all over the pristine countryside. Think of me as an environmentalist.

Delta1212 Posted July 23, 2009 Report Share Posted July 23, 2009 Oh man, remember forcing alliances off color spheres in surrender terms because it actually mattered? Today, that'd be rude and otherwise completely irrelevant. People don't compete for control of the sphere anymore. Basically every senate spot is taken by a different alliance instead of one or two alliances controlling every spot on each sphere. And the idea of getting most new nations on your color by dominating doesn't even register as a realistic idea anymore. Speaking of recruiting, I remember when I could get three or four nations just sending out a dozen messages. Probably because I was likely the only person those nations got a message from. You didn't get swamped by messages when you start like you do now. Hell, I spent my first month without putting my alliance in my bio (God, remember that?) and never got a single message. Or raided for that matter. Like a quarter of the world was unaligned, and you didn't get raided into the ground like you do now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karoli Posted July 23, 2009 Report Share Posted July 23, 2009 Hey, now that NPO isn't the string-pulling hegemonic power anymore, whats to stop some of you oldtimers from reforming LUE or NAAC or etc? Surprised it hasn't come up yet.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like a quarter of the world was unaligned, and you didn't get raided into the ground like you do now. Oh my God Delta you are killing me with the reminiscing. Remember when being left and right meant something? Or even more, remember when people started wars over their color sphere? The Maroon war comes to mind and so does GOONS forcing LoSS off of black just to control the senate. Also, as far as unalligns go, remember Walford (lol)? Heres a really good one: Remember when nukes were entirely taboo? I remember my alliance signing the "Oh God Think of the Children!" Pact. Also, remember when alliances broke the one thousand mark? I cant remember the last alliance to break the 1k barrier. I know NPO got damn close pre war but they never crossed it. Remember when people didnt work out every perfect trade in the game? I remember trade circles being way different before people started perfecting the math to this game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

USMC123 Posted July 23, 2009 Report Share Posted July 23, 2009 It is crazy how this game changes and evolves over time. As far as why there are so many new alliances these days, I believe it is largely because AirMe said, people want to build something of their own. They don't want to become a statistic in some large alliance where they have to spend a year just to get some mundane government job. Modern CN has a lot more experienced players than in the past, and many of these players get tired of being told what to do all the time. Anyways, congrats on your 1000 days Stumpy. Walford is still relevant, ya'll just don't know it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vilien Posted July 23, 2009 Report Share Posted July 23, 2009 These damn threads get me every time. Nuclear non-proliferation, sanction wars, Prodigal Chieftain, Super-Legion, and eight alliances to choose from. It's been a hell of a ride, and congratulations Stumpy.
