Kzoppistan Posted January 3, 2010 Report Share Posted January 3, 2010 (edited) GOONS does not approve. I approve of your avatar. I was very disappointed. Then I yelled for a bit. Now I'm over it with a side order of grumbling for a few days. Edited January 3, 2010 by Kzoppistan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doitzel Posted January 3, 2010 Report Share Posted January 3, 2010 Like I said, they should've let me mediate negotiations. This should not have happened. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ardus Posted January 3, 2010 Report Share Posted January 3, 2010 Through peace, we find rage. Through rage, we find unity. Through unity, our differences are absolved. Peace prevails. We have become what we hate--propagators of peace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tygaland Posted January 3, 2010 Report Share Posted January 3, 2010 Maybe I will in fact see the Nuclear Power Plant in my future. I feel kinda dumb for buying the FAC now. >_> Only now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jens of the desert Posted January 3, 2010 Report Share Posted January 3, 2010 I don't see why everyone is all disappointed. Its a good thing to see common sense and peace prevail. The conclusion of this was a triumph of sanity. It's a game, which some people enjoy by beating others down. This is actually quite a sane thing to do as many people play games where that is its sole purpose (and they are very popular, too). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ejayrazz Posted January 3, 2010 Report Share Posted January 3, 2010 (edited) I don't see why everyone is all disappointed. Its a good thing to see common sense and peace prevail. The conclusion of this was a triumph of sanity. Common sense hasn't prevailed. Stupidity has. Common sense would've been diplomacy and discussing the issue. However, since once side felt TPF spied, it negated the diplomatic discussions that usually is a priority and felt obligated to attack, feeling they had justifiable cause and refused to acknowledge otherwise. Now after the baiting and harassment to TOP/IRON/etc, they decide to back down and everything they apparently stood for in this war flushed in the drain. If they felt so offended and obligated to attack TPF without issuing diplomacy first, they should still be in this war if that passion was so sincere. Since apparently it wasn't or isn't, it makes them look like they honestly made a mistake in attacking TPF in the first place. Diplomacy first.

However, since once side felt TPF spied, it negated the diplomatic discussions and 'one side' felt obligated to attack, feeling they had justifiable cause and refused to budge. Now after the baiting and harassment to TOP/IRON/etc, they decide to back down and everything they apparently stood for in this war was down the drain. If they felt so offended and obligated to attack TPF without issuing diplomacy first, they should still be in this war if that passion was so sincere. Mien friend ejay has this one right. Sincere diplomacy and the spirit of civilisation I would have welcomed, but it is sadly not in evidence. Instead one side backed down because they knew they couldnt hold their coalition together for more than one round, before their members started spotting their lies in large numbers. The other? I honestly am not sure. Noble stupidity? Wither way, both come off with egg on their faces. And the old demons stand near, they are whispering, "only back us, and we will give you peace and stability." They were always liars. The only difference is now they compete with new liars. If'n you have difficulty understanding my point, young (jedi|sith|etc) there be only one sure fire remedy for your affliction. Hit the link afollowin' and play it many times. Many, many times. And pray to Shango that one day will understandah. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BGvd-C7bw8g Edited January 3, 2010 by Sigrun Vapneir Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linden16 Posted January 3, 2010 Report Share Posted January 3, 2010 It did not bother me too much, if there was war, good I finally get to use my nukes, no war, oh well what is next on my wonder list. I just go with whatever happens, happens, and that is that. War always comes, but hopefully next time there will be less stupid threads.

Bob Janova Posted January 3, 2010 Report Share Posted January 3, 2010 I'll give the platform up for all those who wish to voice their opinions about this war and how about people shouldn't start potentially epic !@#$ if they aren't going to finish. Bolded for my opinion. This issue was never worth being the catalyst for a war and any war that came from it would have been unsatisfying for that reason. Too many people play this game who want the 'fun' of a war (a winning one presumably, as there's nothing fun about losing or at least the aftermath of most losses) without actually bothering to play the part of the game that generates wars, and then complain when the people who play the political game don't destroy their alliances' position for their entertainment. If you're not having fun, do something about it. Wars don't just happen for fun, they're a part of the political game, and if you don't play the political game, you have no right to complain when it doesn't fall out how you want. If you sit in an alliance as a general member, you bait and snipe and complain about the lack of wars, and you don't do anything to encourage a war, you are the problem.

Aeternalis Posted January 3, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2010 This is why CN is dying as a game.The slightest chance for a good war, and everyone backs out. dear god, SCM, how could you eventhink we would allow close to even sides? no one ever goes to war without knowing they will win first.

I hate that "do something about it" !@#$%^&* because if i "did something about it" it would probably just lead to my rather insignificant alliance being curb-stomped by some 100 members alliance. yawn.

I don't mind a losing war, so long as it isn't a one-sided curbstomp. Way to put words in folks mouths, Bob.

Evitressa Posted January 3, 2010 Report Share Posted January 3, 2010 I think it'll make for interesting times and I'm not all that disappointed. I've got my own goals higher than this war anyhow. I'll probably finish out this cycle of wars, let them run their course and do some damage along the way, then commence my next little operation.

Inquisitor Tolkien Posted January 3, 2010 Report Share Posted January 3, 2010 (edited) I am greatly amused, if only by CN's collective rage. While I would've loved a war, the reaction to peace is entertaining enough. Thus, all I can say is: BWAHAHAHAHA!

Prime minister Johns Posted January 8, 2010 Report Share Posted January 8, 2010 dear god, SCM, how could you even think we would allow close to even sides? no one ever goes to war without knowing they will win first. And this is the reason wars are so boring now. What we get given is not a real war it's a slaughter. When will people have the guts to risk all for glory or a better world? There is no honour in beating up a group that is heavily outnumbered and outguned. A proper balanced war would be an experience that would be new to many here and would be so exciting that it would be the favourite topic for conversation for years to come.
