You know your in an epic war when...

You know your in an epic war when...


1. You've lost over 50k NS and still can't get on the "Top 7 day smallest nations gains" list.
2. "GPA applicant" and "World Task Force applicant" Have both doubled in NS since the start of the war.
3. You can't remember what kind of stats you had before the war without looking at your charts.
4. You've looked at a DoW from an alliance and honestly gotten confused over what side their on, and your supposed to be on the planning committee.
5. NPO Declares neutrality.
6. Your alliance has lost over a quarter of its former numbers but your still no where close to surrendering.
7. It's been a week of war and you still have no idea where this is going.
8. The people you report to in your "coalition" have changed at least three times.
9. Anarchy is catching up as the most popular government type choice.
10. Your flirting with the idea of offering a 3m/150 tech deal after the war is over because you think someone might take it.



Just a little list I had fun with and I thought you might enjoy. Let's here some of the ones others come up with.

You'd be surprised how those odds raise morale actually. Seen it happen a lot.

[Gopherbashi]

When I get trolled by both sides for being biased in the Sanction Race.

[Tomcat]

When you actually read the open world forum





I see what you did there

It lasts almost 2 years.

[AmpaSand]

When you nuke a 12kNS nation [i]who is larger than you[/i].

Otherwise, when the treaty web snaps and falls apart, and we are left with a sticky mess.

[Jinnai]

When you start seeing threads like this.

[ratonbox]

When Nordreich and The International are on the same side.

Not only the same side. We're literally coming to their aid by attacking those who are attacking them.

[President Obama]

When NpO on TSO are on the same side.

One upping is fun.

[lamuella]

when you read a war declaration by one alliance upon 4 alliances in defense of 2 alliances and end up [i]none the wiser[/i] as to who is on what side.

[Nintenderek]

When your two weeks into a war, and the two sides still don't have names.

When GPA doesn't post a DoN, because they know it's that well assumed

When you look at the treaty web and see 10 or more alliances which could be on either or both sides.

[RevolutionaryRebel]

When you indirectly declare war defending the alliance whose namesake has battled your descendant numerous times and have both IC and OOC grudges.

[TehChron]

When I actually get declared on.

By that standard, this is the most epic war in the history of Cybernations.

How about MCXA and TSO on the same side of a war? Heh?

- When being ZI'ed doesn't even matter much

[Hyperion321]

when FAN comes through on promises they made years ago to the delight of thousands, and then [i]Nordreich[/i] comes their defense. And then [i]commies[/i] defending nordreich. This war is all kinds of strange.

[Sin]

When you forget how many times you have been nuked!

That was an excellent one.

When you have the same alliance fighting for different sides of the same war.

[Urmom]

When stuff like this happens:

[quote name='Frozenrpg' date='05 February 2010 - 01:32 AM' timestamp='1265351560' post='2160958']
DT activated their defense clause with Nordreich to attack Invicta & Olympus, which activated the MA clause with PC, which activated FoK's oA clause with PC, which activated the oA clause in LEO to declare on BAPS, Invicta and Olympus, which also activated the MA clause between FOK/iFOK, which activated the Stickmen oA clause on Invicta.


There, I think we have it straightened out now.

[SynthFG]

When I find myself up at 5am on a work day trying to co-ordinate an update blitz
When Server too busy means I'm not getting back to bed for a while

When you remember how small bills are at 8k infra

Why thank you. Its great fun doing it too.

[Madtrixr]

You know a war is epic when it starts with a war, and then something happens that snowballs into a war that is way bigger than the war that started it in the first place.

[ratonbox]

When you get a DoW thread with nine different alliances declaring war in the OP.
