Lord Rune Posted August 20, 2009 Report Share Posted August 20, 2009 Thanks for the advice, I greatly appreciate it. Hmm, not sure if you mean that or not. My suggestion about what you could change your name too, is tongue in cheek, but the rest was well meant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dogestan Posted August 20, 2009 Report Share Posted August 20, 2009 (edited) i do not see what the fuss is about but i do suggest he takes their orders. you can maybe change it to; Grand Global Defense Initiative if it doesn't go well then you can come and join the GSA, technically we have the same meaning.

wickedj Posted August 20, 2009 Report Share Posted August 20, 2009 (edited) Global Defence InitiativeGlobal Defense Initiative Same thing to me. If it looks like a duck, quacks like a duck -- it's a duck. And we all know what happen to the last duck around here... lordliam, GDI has been the definition of fail for awhile now..you're going to have to prove this is a different place (see: GGA) also, FWIW, im predicting TFA fails before GDI 2.0 or is this 3.0 since TFA is GDI 2.0?

If I do change the alliance name, people would probably say "Hey look! It's the alliance that used to be GDI! Let's roll him!" And, thanks for the offer, but I hold a government position in the GDI.

And, thanks for the offer, but I hold a government position in the GDI. i hold a government position in the GSA and their are many more government positions open. so saying you have a government position would not mean anything to me.

PhysicsJunky Posted August 20, 2009 Report Share Posted August 20, 2009 Fortelling a TFA/GDI war, are we? There is a Task Force Omega joke sitting in one of these threads somewhere but I can't put my finger on the right turn of phrase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PS. you are not the only one here with a government position Believe it or not, holding a government position doesn't necessarily mean much. I mean, you can be a government member in an alliance of 5 people, but even a regular member in an alliance of 500 probably has more sway and influence. Also, people tend to avoid alliances that hand out gov positions to anyone as a perk for joining. Says a lot about the alliance, really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PS. you are not the only one here with a government position While I disagree with the reforming of GDI, I strongly disagree with what you're trying to do here sir. It is strongly frowned upon to recruit from another alliance, especially in it's Declaration of Existence. It would probably be to your advantage to stop this.

Duncan King Posted August 20, 2009 Report Share Posted August 20, 2009 Awesome GDI 2.0Does this mean that my luls void will no longer be filled with GDI but with TFD? Wait what? This just got confusing Congrats, do you want to smote TFD anytime soon? Just say you dont like them and then DoW, worked for the past incarnation of GDI Just what did TFD (The Foreign Division) do to you, Bill? Also, I think one day after it disbanded is a great time to reform an alliance. It gets rid of that pesky lag time during which the ashes of the former alliance cool and people realize the previous incarnation is actually gone. Heaven forbid you show respect for the dead.

lordliam Posted August 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2009 (edited) Good lord, please don't really do this. It seems like nobody really likes this alliance. So, as a result of the ridicule I've been subject to in the last couple of minutes, my first move as the Supreme Commander of the GDI would be to suspend the AA and join a "real alliance" until I've gained some experience. I am very grateful for you guys enlightening me on the right way to play CN. Thanks everyone, have a good afternoon. I'm kinda hungry after all this typing... Edit: Lock please? Since this alliance doesn't "exist" anymore. I don't want OWFers ridiculing an alliance that doesn't exist, that's just going to be sad.

Bob Janova Posted August 20, 2009 Report Share Posted August 20, 2009 Well I was going to come in here and ridicule this, but it seems that you have seen the error of your ways and backed off.
