grahamkeatley Posted January 26, 2010 Report Share Posted January 26, 2010 Greetings from over at TOOL. This may be slightly delayed, but I had it all prepared to go and poof the forums got all Houdini. So late is better than never. On the 23rd January 2010, The Order of Light as the community and alliance you know has turned 3 Years Old. On this day I personally opened the doors and since then have been through the thick and thin of building and maintaining this community. Im proud to share with all of you this joyous event as as TOOL heads into its 4th year - onwards and upwards is all that can be hoped for. Im not sure that I am familiar with any Alliance in CN having a constant "Leader" being in place for such a long time. And from a personal perspective, I can certainly understand why that is the case. Its not a job to always be envied, and at the best of times the responsibilities of being the head of a community is something that is foremost on my mind. So I want to give a big shout out to all those who have shouldered some weight in TOOL over the last three years. Without that help and that contribution TOOL's continued presence would not have been possible. A lot of those names still reside but many are wide and afar in CN from OMFG to NpO to PC (Can only hope they are being reunited in these times on the field). So to all of you, and you should know who you all are. Thank you. And you will always be a TOOL member to me. To our allies, friends and well-wishers; thank you all - if you need anything; just come find me. --- TOOL are stronger and more secure within itself then ever before. Showing highest levels of everything at present then ever; except for our member count which is a record that will never be touched. And as long as the community spirit is there, there is very few limits on what can be expected from TOOL. --- The CN community as a whole plays a massive part in creating the environment for micro communities like TOOL to survive. Without allies, without enemies, without war and debate; TOOL would not exist much like most of CN. So for the most part I a pleased you all exist. Its been a great 3 years. And to many more. --- With all that said, I would like to open our 4th year and 2010 with a General Q&A. I will personally answer ANY question you have TOOL related or not; CN related or not. I am an open book this one time only. =P TOOL would like to invite everyone over to #tool for some shakes. Ikaru's shakes bring all the boys to the yard. Most dont stay, but do drop by. o/ TOOL grahamkeatley Lord Captain Commander The Order of Light Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gopherbashi Posted January 26, 2010 Report Share Posted January 26, 2010 (edited) 1) Your stance on the current war. 2) Your ideal four-member bloc, which your own alliance could not be part of. 3) Two alliances you'd like to see your alliance getting closer to in the next three months. (Also, congratulations) Edited January 26, 2010 by Gopherbashi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Brendan Posted January 26, 2010 Report Share Posted January 26, 2010 Thoughts on CSN? Plans for the future? Tech raid policy? Do you sign MADPs? Who is your favorite maroon ambassador to TOOL?

grahamkeatley Posted January 26, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2010 1) Your stance on the current war. 2) Your ideal four-member bloc, which your own alliance could not be part of. 3) Two alliances you'd like to see your alliance getting closer to in the next three months. (Also, congratulations) I will assume questions without the question marks; 1 - I dont really have a strong view either way on the reasons for the war. I think both sides could of done things differently. But then again both sides could be doing things a lot worse. Im not a great fan of Tech Raiding, and attacking alliances for such thrills isnt high on my list. Which can be argued that is exactly what this war is and also the reason for the war. So its odd. Regardless, if the trend continues TOOL will be there for its allies. 2 - NPO, NpO, NSO and NsO - I think the orders should be united and under a single Emperor. I can volunteer if one cant be decided. 3 - I would like to know more about TOP and MHA personally. Even though neither has ever held very strong ties or relations with TOOL they have been up in CN for a long time now. So knowing such people would be a like of mine. GK, you have broken my heart for the last time! Surely after the first time, the "breaks" were mere cracks of the main broken-age-ness?

grahamkeatley Posted January 26, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2010 Thoughts on CSN? Plans for the future? Tech raid policy? Do you sign MADPs? Who is your favorite maroon ambassador to TOOL? Think carefully... Also, happy birthday! I have had very little contact or knowledge of CSN. So im afraid my thoughts and opinion on them are limited. Apologies, I am a very reserved and interior focused person. My personal plans are to make in rows into DM13's Infra lead on me. For TOOL it is to continue how we go. Hit 2k Nukes and from there set a new goal. TOOL allows Tech Raiding of unaligned inactives. And only should the inactive be thus through attempts to contact prior to attacks. MADPs to myself are a little reckless. Should policies be THAT synced perhaps being two alliances merging would be a better option. I dont think I would ever be comfortable lining up ducks that far regardless of trust levels. Lord Brendan - as the one and only Diplomat I know. You win by default. =) Also, thank you.

grahamkeatley Posted January 26, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2010 (edited) Wheres my MADP Where did you last see it? We can retrace your steps together. Thoughts on losing your sanction to the neutral menace? Best white team alliance? (Aside from TOOL, naturally) Sanction is a double edged sword. Im not a fan of the increased Ghosts it brings. But I do like having the pip and flag for purely superficial reasons. I dont begrudge anyone taking our seat. But we will move to retake it. If we lost it through inactivity, stagnation or mishap then I would regret it more. But 2/3 nations leaving is no cause to cry. If the past reactions are anything to go by we wont be out of Sanction forever. I dont really know, depends what context you put it into. From TOOL's point of view TPF has been the biggest contributing White Alliance for us. As our protector, then close allies for a substantial period. But they arent the only great White Alliance by far. And depending on how I change the definition of best I can easily name STA, FEAR, NEW just as quickly.
