bkphysics Posted November 10, 2009 Report Share Posted November 10, 2009 Mpol, I wouldn't classify Pacifica as a protectorate. That implies that we are protected against raids and other abuses. This could be the funniest line of text I have seen this year! lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Londo Mollari Posted November 10, 2009 Report Share Posted November 10, 2009 (edited) To be fair, Mary is really good a Scrabble, even to those of us that know how to spell. [OOC]I have played her a few matches. She is much better than I or anyone else I have ever known.[/OOC] So you finally bothered to look that word up. Knowing that definition a lot earlier would have come in handy don't ya think? *Londo chuckles heartily Indeed. I'm sure NoV would agree. Yes, because one day of war followed by white peace is equal to: months of war followed by a false peace with harsh terms followed by attacks for 'terms violations' followed by two years of war (which was only stopped because Karma made you stop, let's not kid ourselves.)

Achilles Posted November 10, 2009 Report Share Posted November 10, 2009 Of all the wars on your war screen, there isn't one that isn't either an obvious ghost/rogue or under 250 NS, where the alliances protecting you can't reach. I'm sure that if you have a problem with a raider in range of a normal nation they will be got rid of.It will be interesting to see where FAN choose to align themselves in the new open world, and how they go about doing so. Most people have forgotten why they disliked FAN in the first place, and their long guerilla campaign won them a lot of sympathy, so many alliances will be quite receptive to friendships with FAN if they choose to go down a normal diplomatic route. I think with the general nature of the OP, FAN has already narrowed down the alliances they will be seen holding hands with. Not that it was clearly stated. I truly hope that they have learned some lesson in friendship and can enjoy the playground with the others. Given their past, I don't see them trying to steal any lunch money for a while. Especially from the kid in time out. He's still much larger and I don't think the teacher will let anyone pull him into any games before his time is up.

Sir Paul Posted November 10, 2009 Report Share Posted November 10, 2009 Literally every single post you make consists of whining about reps or terms, its unbearable. Honestly, there has not been much to dislike about your alliance or the attitude of its members lately, something which I really am happy to see. This, of course, is with the exception of you, as for some reason you think hammering the same old points and cracking the same jokes over and over again like you did years ago will still get the result you desire. Try taking issue with Londos post itself, and not venturing into your comfort zone of reps jokes and term comments for once...it makes you look childish. Get with the times man, your not doing your cause any favors. Really? Literally every single post? I personally find it more annoying when people come onto my home forum, complain, and then start posting screenshots from said forum in Mpol's thread. Now, for my second heroic effort to get this discusion back on topic: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hizzy Posted November 10, 2009 Report Share Posted November 10, 2009 Who knew that this thread would turn into a NPO vs FAN bash fest? Are you kidding me? FAN posting an announcement is an invitation to relive the entire history of Bob. I expect in a couple pages we'll reach the Unjust War, and by page 17 the noCB war.

mpol777 Posted November 10, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2009 Now, for my second heroic effort to get this discusion back on topic: To truly get back on topic you'd need to say something about how the world is full of alliances that lack any kind of purpose and how they fill that void with useless blather about stats, treaties that are about as binding as scotch tape and for the most part they're all waiting for someone else to do something instead of doing something themselves. Porn is always good too though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with Mpol here, but realistically the state of politics is only like this because of you FAN. Hurry up and do something, I'm getting bored.

This is why some will gladly step aside and allow FAN, if that were the plan, to attack NPO while under "protected" status, because many are waiting for you to finish what they didn't have the resolve to complete themselves.

Manxia Posted November 10, 2009 Report Share Posted November 10, 2009 At least pass the rum around.No hi, no hello, I'll have to drop by at your place rather then wait for you guys to come over. Hello Darling Khyber! Of course you can share my rum. I'm currently storing a handle or two of Appleton Estates and 100 Proof Captain. Your pick! You know me. I don't really travel around the boards well. But I reply to ingame PMs immediately so if you wanna talk to me directly, feel free to send me one.

Ivan Moldavi Posted November 10, 2009 Report Share Posted November 10, 2009 unfortunately, FAN really isn't in the business of cleaning up other people's messes. Yes, I am well aware of that. Some people seem to see FAN as an easily manipulated alliance though. Open the door, you will go in, etc. etc. I learned a long time ago that such things were untrue.

Manxia Posted November 10, 2009 Report Share Posted November 10, 2009 Mpol is certainly capable of deceit and cunning. There is a reason his avatar is a coyote and not a wolf or a bear.

Drostan Posted November 10, 2009 Report Share Posted November 10, 2009 There's an awful lot of hand-holding going on for a FAN announcement. FAN's forums must be flooded with visitors lining up to kiss their collective @#$%. Yes, this planet now suffers from a distinct lack of balls. Yes, diplomacy has taken on a greater role and treaties multiply faster than rabbits. But you just have to learn to wield new weapons. Clearly you already hold a lot of political sway around Planet Bob without even looking for it. While it is lame to put the burden on FAN to do something with it, it doesn't mean you can't. I would be quite happy to see you guys kicking sand in someone's eyes. Good luck with internal stuff and enjoy the $@! kissing etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The entire world opened up and suddenly you could do anything you wanted, none of the old rules or patterns could be enforced anymore. Yet, everyone just carried on, business as usual, and kept behaving the exact same way. It's pathetic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JWConner Posted November 10, 2009 Report Share Posted November 10, 2009 As I don't have the patience to read through the previous 10 pages of babble, I'll say that while we aren't allies with FAN, we do respect our Yellow brethren and hope we're considered in the "We Are Talking To You or Will Soon" category With all the *$#-kissing that goes on on Planet Bob these days, it's refreshing to hear someone go against the norm. I look forward to getting to know you guys better in the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vilien Posted November 10, 2009 Report Share Posted November 10, 2009 An Announcement from the Moralist Front Oh hey, guys. The Moralist Front has been around for over one hundred and fifty days now, and though we're insignificant and you all really don't care about us, we'd like to show you some statistics. As you can see, the Moralist Front has almost eleven members. Yes, we're very small. However, counting our current undeclared engagement, each member of the Moralist Front can claimed to have started an average of 3.33 alliance wars (they would be lying, of course, because I've started all of them). You may also note that two of our nations are in anarchy. We're not very good at buying soldiers, and we regularly anarchy ourselves by mistake. Thank you for your support in this difficult time. We've also had our first elections ever. Incredible! The following persons (most of whom have no OWF presence) have been elected to positions of government: Speaker: Vilien Consul of Defense: SuperJahdia Consul of Foreign Affairs: Jaki Cold I will expect you to memorize these. As you may have already figured out, we make up government positions whenever we need them/feel like it. But don't worry, that won't stop us from idiotically shouting our titles at you in the heat of negotiations. The Moralist Front has been doing a whole lot, and we've got a lot to tell the five or six people who regularly read our announcements. Unlike some of you larger alliances out there (I won't be naming you, I'm too afraid of you), we've been doing our fair share to fill up these boards with trite and meaningless content. See you in a week or so, when we announce our next entirely pointless and irrelevant "milestone". P.S: I completely agree with you mpol, someone needs to teach these people how things should really be done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flak attack Posted November 10, 2009 Report Share Posted November 10, 2009 Most people have forgotten why they disliked FAN in the first place I'm willing to hazard a guess that most of us weren't here for the time leading up to the FAN wars to have hated FAN in the first place.
