So the question to this is will the God of Admin, and destroyer and life giver of Planet Bob drop his Admin bomb on this version like the first version?

hmmm awaits the next chapter of drama.

You see, my over-aggressive opponent-of-the-day, "moralism" is an [i]ideology[/i], and relative to Cybernations refers to the strict adherence to a code of ethics, typically in the sense of classical liberalism. That means that a moralist, or moralist alliance, would fight for the principles of "liberty" and "self determination" over concepts like, say, "order" and "stability". Any casual forumgoer might have trouble distinguishing between Pacifica's consistently and clearly stated policy of scientific realpolitik and emotionally based moralism. However, you and I both know that you are much, much more intelligent than the average poster.[/quote]

You are confusing your own particular theory of morality with the broader meaning of the term. There are many theories of morality, generally incompatible. What they all have in common is that they provide a theoretical framework within which to approach the questions of right and wrong. Vladimirs postings were in very large part concerned with doing just that, therefore he provided a theory of morality (or to be more precise, he actually could be argued to have articulated several, depending on the vintage of the work you want to cite, but in each case he sought to provide a theoretical framework concerned with questions of right or wrong tailor-made to defend the rightness and justice of Pacificas actions.)

Just because a theory is not compatible with one particular theory of morality, be it yours, or mine or anyone elses, does not make it any less a moral theory.

You might not like what we do politically, but my neither government nor the members of my alliance have ever engaged in concerted efforts to violate RL law.

[color="red"]OOC: quit taking this OOC, it may be the first post of yours like this in this thread but your members have done it several times already and it is not appropriate. This is an IC forum, and I am not discussing the RL crimes of former players. That is for Admin and/or law enforcement to deal with not for us. Their IC crimes are quite enough to justify the death sentence VE pronounced upon them, and that is all we should be discussing here, and all I will discuss here. [/color]

/b/ could very easily deface CN, ruin admin's life IRL, or DDoS CN to death. They have no reason to do the above, so they post CP and gore on main forum, which amounts to nothing much and should be considered mild.

A death sentence VE has repeatedly expressed little intention of pursuing, much to my own chagrin (though it is probably the wisest course of action). Oh, and take a dose of your own advice and let the Gods remind us of their commandments--playing deity in so vain a sense is annoying.

Ardus, if you keep talking like that people are going to have to start reading before they post, and we cant have that now can we?

If Furseiseki couldn't make it work, you can't.

[Nonymguy]

Well I am not leading an alliance of 400 screaming monkeys for nation leaders like Fur was. There is a relatively small number of us, and those that I have spoken to do not express any interest in sabotaging ourselves by engaging in the same sort of activities as our predecessors.

Condemning an alliance to death because of the actions of a small group of people three years ago? I'd like to think that I spent all that time in Vox for something. Please don't validate my fears.

Holy crap I swear to admin you people either cant read or just jump so quick at the chance to make a snide remark that you don't read. Read a few pages back, I'm done repeating myself.
[/quote]

I read it. You said people only need to some talk to you etc. I only asked why you've been at war with a non-existent alliance for roughly 3 years, what it's achieved, what the point of it is. Seems pretty clear to me that it is a different question to the "Will you give them peace now?" that you've already answered, but that could be my reading comprehension again

Answer seems kinda self evident as, um, they weren't around to give peace to....

Can we end this communique yet? This was a Declaration of Existence, not an invitation to a "moral high-ground debate". For Admin-sake, can you leaders pull your heads out of your collective buttocks for 1 day and quit bickering like a bunch of housewives?

Uh, don't look at me like that... No, I would not like to see what your nukes look like falling from above...

We've seen everything there is to see. There is nothing left that shocks us, only really annoys us or bores us to no end. Yes, even "2 Girls, 1 Cup" and all the variations. This isn't Haboo.
