MercyFallout Posted July 10, 2010 Report Share Posted July 10, 2010 Fighting for the Initiative was probably what got me so hooked on this game. o/ To the lost age Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
savethecheerleader Posted July 10, 2010 Report Share Posted July 10, 2010 Played the game under a different name in the Initiative days. Was a soldier for the MDC (lol inorite) and to be truthful I loved every blissfully ignorant minute of it. Always felt like an outsider when it came to TI politics, which is probably pretty fitting actually. But you know what? It was my first alliance and I refuse to remember it any way but fondly.

Caliph Posted July 10, 2010 Report Share Posted July 10, 2010 [quote name='President Obama' date='08 July 2010 - 11:44 AM' timestamp='1278614670' post='2363638'] http://cybernations.wikia.com/wiki/WUT [/quote] I personally see several misleading facts in that article. For one, the Dove War was not just Unjust Path alliances fighting Legion, but also MCXA as well. It wasn't even all the Unjust Path. It was Valhalla declaring war on Legion, and \m/ jumping in due to their MDoAP, and then GOONS, Genmay, and MCXA coming in. The article makes it seem like it was just the Unjust Path fighting Legion, when that was simply not true. I should get an account on the wiki and change the article to reflect what the authors ommitted for a more complete article. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TonytheTiger Posted July 11, 2010 Report Share Posted July 11, 2010 (edited) The Initiative was the greatest block this game has ever seen because of the line-up of quality alliances in it. No block has even come close to having that many great alliances in it. I served in TOP gov't, and back then we made our bones as an elite alliance known for taking on much larger and well known alliances. The wars we fought together, coming up as underdogs and dominating as hard as we did. '07 still stands out as the best year CN had because of WUT.

Adrian LaCroix Posted July 11, 2010 Report Share Posted July 11, 2010 OE disbanded not too awful long after VE disbanded, not sure why exactly, I'd have to ask Vulcan or someone like that.

TonytheTiger Posted July 12, 2010 Report Share Posted July 12, 2010 That web above was from around Dec 06, pre GW2. The expanded Initiative with Bleu and UJP was about 6 or 7 months later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tamurin Posted July 13, 2010 Report Share Posted July 13, 2010 At least this web doesn't give you eye-cancer when you look at it and try to understand it. Back then, it was still possible to categorize everyone into "good", "evil" and "neutral" (although "good" and "evil" depended on the viewpoint, but you get my point). Today, you're practically allied with everyone and where you end up fighting depends on which "chain" arrives at your alliance first or a choice.
