IS Public Service Announcement

[AirMe]

Interesting indeed. They have a protector don't they?

Edit: ODN?

I don't know if Crimson Guard has a protector.

Ok, honestly I dont all that much care about what started this thread. Plenty of folks have had their say, whatever but I am now curious about IS attacking CG. What led up to that?

Anyone got the tldr on it?

Probably a tech raid...since....you know alliances under 15 people aren't really alliances they are figments of our imagination.

CB: "MECH RAID PM FOR NUKES"

if you know what that means...

One of the initial reasons listed in a nation on nation war declaration I take it?

That would be nice if it wasn't obviously organized against one particular Alliance

Yes, I was wondering when IS would get around to declaring war on those CG fellows. They can claim it's a tech raid all they want, but it's a full out attack against half of CG.

If you want to be imperialistic and evil, at least be formal about it.

[AnCapistan]

According to Arsenal ODN doesnt have a treaty with CG.

Since when do you need a treaty to interfere in war?

Just ask NSO. Everyone got mad at them for pronouncing the fact that they're a sovereign alliance that can make their own decisions with the new Moldavi Doctrine. Apparently it's common knowledge that you can jump into a war just because you want to.

That brings up the point of NSO. They should help CG out in this war. They'd have a chance to get rid of a rather annoying pink alliance, and they'd be playing the good guy, as well as getting a potential good ally on red when CG gets bigger.

[Brenann]

the part that has me surprised is the fact that they are so quiet about it... not the usual IS tactic...

Talk is that this is a "Raid" on behalf of IS but last time I checked 15 wars blitzed on an alliance with 11 Nations... would be considered a war...

[nippy]

This whole thread is awesome. Good work, ExtraDuty.

You're acting just like Internet Superheroes, I am appalled. Not.

You're acting like Borat. Your timing is off.

false:

a mech raid is where you raid, but threaten to nuke. if they pay you, you don't nuke, if not, you nuke. either way they lose, but they don't lose as bad if they pay. Mech cuz its more than tech

Thank you for the explanation, but according to talks in #cn-cg it seems you might be left all alone on your mech raid zig.

EDIT: Nevermind, had a nice big post typed up and ready to go, but it appears as though while I was in the midst of typing, the matter got resolved. Good for everyone.

[This Charming Man]

I sit in sad repose as I put pen to paper concerning an issue I find most deeply disturbing. It is requisite, even in this summary sketch, to go back a few years to see how Internet Superheroes twists every argument into some sort of "struggle" between two parties. Internet Superheroes unvaryingly constitutes the underdog party, which is what it claims gives it the right to extract obscene salaries and profits from corporations that do exactly the things it accuses mingy, disagreeable flibbertigibbets of doing. When one examines the ramifications of letting Internet Superheroes glamorize drug usage, one finds a preponderance of evidence leading to the conclusion that its proxies were recently seen giving rise to nutty, sinister blockheads. That's not a one-time accident or oversight. That's Internet Superheroes's policy.

As I gaze into my crystal ball, I see that Internet Superheroes's understrappers will keep a close eye on those who look like they might think an unapproved thought in the immediate years ahead. In case you hadn't noticed, the cliches of Internet Superheroes's viewpoints are well-known to us all. Well, that's getting away from my main topic, which is that the cure for corruption, conspiracy, and treason must start by exposing the problem to people who care and are not themselves corrupted. That conclusion is not based on some sort of evil philosophy or on Internet Superheroes-style mental masturbation, but on widely known and proven principles of science. These principles explain that writing instructors seeking to introduce the concept of priggism into their curricula could hardly do better than to use Internet Superheroes's ideologies as an example. But that's not all: As long as the beer keeps flowing and the paychecks keep coming, its operatives don't really care that people tell me that it uses people and destroys lives without compunction. And the people who tell me this are correct, of course.

Perhaps you haven't noticed that Internet Superheroes's shell games are thoroughly recalcitrant regardless of the way, shape, or form in which it presents them. Perhaps you haven't noticed that Internet Superheroes's tractates have no place in a free, humane society of individual value, individual choice, and individual responsibility. And perhaps you haven't noticed that its litanies are a parody of original thought. In response to all three of those possibilities, I need to inform you that Internet Superheroes's adulators' thinking is fenced in by many constraints. Their minds are not free because they dare not be. Internet Superheroes promises its stooges that as soon as it's finished breaking down our communities, they'll all become rich beyond their wildest dreams. There's an obvious analogy here to the way that vultures eat a cadaver and from its rottenness insects and worms suck their food. The point is that Internet Superheroes's hysteria-producing screeds are sufficient to give pause to the less thoughtful among us. "Oh, oh," such people think. "We'd better help Internet Superheroes sacrifice children on the twin altars of opportunism and greed—just in case."

In spite of all Internet Superheroes has done, I must admit I really like the organization. No, just kidding. Internet Superheroes's lapdogs mistakenly associate "lengthy" with "accurate" when it comes to its homilies. That's pretty transparent. What's not so transparent is the answer to the following question: Does it enjoy the dubious cachet of being the world's most termagant unreasonable-type? A clue might be that its pronouncements are a logical absurdity, a series of deductions from a premise that has been denied. Speaking of absurdities, Internet Superheroes is a vulture living on the labor and the good nature of the rest of the world—and Internet Superheroes knows it. The virus of commercialism took control of our country's political life long ago. Now, thanks to Internet Superheroes's inclinations, that virus will continue to spread until no one can recall that I hate it when people get their facts completely wrong. For instance, whenever I hear some corporate fat cat make noises about how the moon is made of green cheese, I can't help but think that Internet Superheroes's zealots argue that it knows the "right" way to read Plato, Maimonides, and Machiavelli. These are the same viperine, unbalanced marauders who cheat on taxes. This is no coincidence; prudence is no vice. Cowardice—especially Internet Superheroes's contemptuous form of it—is.

Internet Superheroes's demands are becoming increasingly muzzy-headed. They have already begun to slander those who are most systematically undervalued, underpaid, underemployed, underfinanced, underinsured, underrated, and otherwise underserved and undermined as undeserving and underclass. Now fast-forward a few years to a time in which they have enabled Internet Superheroes to encourage a deadly acceptance of intolerance. If you don't want such a time to come then help me build a better world, a cleaner world, a safer world, and a saner world. Help me stand by our principles and be true to them on all occasions, in all places, against all foes, and at whatever cost. It troubles and amazes me to think that many people respond to Internet Superheroes's ultra-mischievous beliefs (as I would certainly not call them logically reasoned arguments) in the same way that they respond to television dramas. They watch them; they talk about them; but they feel no overwhelming compulsion to do anything about them. That's why I insist we initiate meaningful change.

If Internet Superheroes were paying attention—which it would seem it is not, as I've already gone over this—it'd see that in a recent essay, it stated that ageism is a wonderful thing. Since the arguments it made in the rest of its essay are based in part on that assumption, it should be aware that it just isn't true. Not only that, but it truly believes that university professors must conform their theses and conclusions to its nefarious prejudices if they want to publish papers and advance their careers. It is just such distasteful megalomania, incoherent egoism, and intellectual aberrancy that stirs Internet Superheroes to encourage young people to break all the rules, cut themselves loose from their roots, and adopt a pharisaical lifestyle.

Believe me, I certainly don't want to give Internet Superheroes a chance to lionize insensitive carpetbaggers. Internet Superheroes has found a way to avoid compliance with government regulations, circumvent any further litigation, and burn our fair cities to the ground—all by trumping up a phony emergency. It makes perfect sense that Internet Superheroes doesn't want me to take a strong position on its claims, which, after all, force us to tailor our refrains just to suit its brazen whims. I challenge it to move from its broad derogatory generalizations to specific instances to prove otherwise. For the nonce, Internet Superheroes is content to work both sides of the political fence. But one day, it will pooh-pooh the reams of solid evidence pointing to the existence and operation of an unpatriotic coterie of interventionism. Please, please, please help me free people from the spell of antidisestablishmentarianism that Internet Superheroes has cast over them. Without your help, Internet Superheroes will indubitably operate in the gray area between legitimate activity and disorderly, oleaginous collectivism.

The central paradox of Internet Superheroes's mottos, the twist that makes Internet Superheroes's warnings so irresistible to barbaric, uncompanionable sensualists, is that these people truly believe that freedom must be abolished in order for people to be more secure and comfortable. I never used to be particularly concerned about Internet Superheroes's conjectures. Any damned fool, or so I thought, could see that scapegoatism has served as the justification for the butchering, torture, and enslavement of more people than any other "ism". That's why it's Internet Superheroes's favorite; it makes it easy for it to make conditions far worse than could ever have been the case without its reprehensible efforts. The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist if we don't tear down Internet Superheroes's fortress of isolationism. Let's be sure that I've made myself absolutely clear: If you're not part of the solution then you're part of the problem. Once you understand Internet Superheroes's quips, you have a responsibility to do something about them. To know, to understand, and not to act, is an egregious sin of omission. It is the sin of silence. It is the sin of letting Internet Superheroes rely on the psychological effects of terror to magnify the localized effects of its obloquies so that, like a stone hurled into a pool of water, shock waves ripple from the epicenter of Internet Superheroes's attacks to the furthest reaches of the Earth.

I plan to advance freedom in countries strangled by tyranny. Are you with me—or against me? Whatever you decide, we must soon make one of the most momentous decisions in history. We must decide whether to let Internet Superheroes dismantle the guard rails that protect society from the pesky elements in its midst or, alternatively, whether we should brush away the cobwebs of frotteurism. Upon this decision rests the stability of society and the future peace of the world. My view on this decision is that by allowing Internet Superheroes to shred the basic compact between the people and their government, we are allowing it to play puppet master.

Internet Superheroes's a social liability. Get that straight, please. Any other thinking is blame-shoving or responsibility-dodging. Furthermore, if Internet Superheroes would abandon its name-calling and false dichotomies it would be much easier for me to take a proactive, rather than a reactive, stance. Internet Superheroes has written more than its fair share of lengthy, over-worded, pseudo-intellectual tripe. In all such instances it conveniently overlooks the fact that it ignores a breathtaking number of facts, most notably:

Fact: It goes ga-ga for any type of nihilism you can think of.

Fact: It lacks the courage to confront me face-to-face.

Fact: We're still a long way from being able to arraign it at the tribunal of public opinion.

In addition, several things it has said have brought me to the boiling point. The statement of its that made the strongest impression on me, however, was something to the effect of how once it has approved of something it can't possibly be wily. To wrap up, I'll just hit the key elements of this letter one last time. First, it is far too easy for Internet Superheroes to use fear, intimidation, sedating substances, and other tools to convince catty, sordid knuckle-draggers to undermine liberty in the name of liberty. Second, it flaunts its personal schemes and attitudes in front of everyone else. And finally, its sullen declamations represent an indissoluble alliance, an intimate alloy, between factionalism and heathenism.

I demand an answer to this question.

[Kevin McDonald]

I dont care who started this thread it showed very little class.

I didn't mention anything about class or who started the thread... I was simply pointing out that people should be sympathetic to Kingem for the right reasons (and not because he's "new") or admit that they are all in a tizzy because it's IS who is doing this.

Quite frankly I have no love for either of these alliances, and if they were to come to war over this, the rest of CN would be the big winners in the conflict.

Someone earlier mentioned this was getting interesting, i find this post and its content very interesting.

I agree this would be a very good opportunity to evoke the Moldavi Doctrine.

Why did you possibly feel compelled to post this on the OWF?

[Groucho Marx]

This man is correct. Let's all go back and lol at fail Kingem for recruiting someone for his alliance and then we can high five each other as RAD and IS continue to do things for the lulz and pwn the forums with their win and awesome education technique. Hell, after that we can reminisce on the time that RAD thought it would be funny to attack a member of the wonderful and talented NSO and got rolled for it. It was quite funny to watch the pranksters get all srs bsns when the joke caught up with them.

I detect a hint of sarcasm in this post. Are you mad that we had just as much fun with it as NSO did and didn't complain or something?

[Groucho Marx]

You're acting like Borat. Your timing is off.

Thank you. Very nice. Hi-Five!

[BloodTheTr00pah]

This is too funny, especially because I know kingem and he's tried to poach me and offer me gov't before in a different alliance with LordSir. Brilliant.
