A little piece of history

[Chris Kaos]

These words were spoken to me shortly before update on July 15/16, 2006 (depending on your timezone). Not really much else to say. The topic doesn't need rehashing, and it's a never ending debate as to who was right and who was wrong, but I was going through some old logs and figured that some old folks might appreciate the nostalgia factor.

[00:22:40] <Anomaly> >_> I take it you know what happened?
[00:23:40] <Chris_Kaos> Yes.
[00:23:42] <Chris_Kaos> Hold on a sec.
[00:23:47] <Chris_Kaos> Four windows flashing.
[00:24:06] <Anomaly> ...x_x Hold on? I just got nuked, dammit.
[00:24:46] <Chris_Kaos> I know.
[00:24:56] <Chris_Kaos> You're invoking the MDP, aren't you?
[00:25:42] <Anomaly> I'd like to say we don't want to pull you into this war, but I don't know how this'll turn out
[00:25:45] <Anomaly> . >_>
[00:42:07] <Chris_Kaos> We're in.
[00:44:33] <Anomaly> Thank you.

Frankly, it's a bit boring. The DoW was equally as boring.

"We, the Global Alliance and Treaty Organization, honour our treaties and hereby declare war on the New Pacific Order and New Polar Order."

But still, history is history.

[Caleb279]

Wow, awesome. I still remember that DoW

[Yevgeni Luchenkov]

Interesting that you still have the logs after all this time. Things were simpler, back then.

No kidding. Only four windows flashing for a start.

Back to the time where throwing in the first nuke was frowned upon

[rsoxbronco1]

Anomaly, come back to Athens.

Also, invoking GATO MDoAP immediately.

Hell yeah.

Though it escalated to like twenty, with twenty more channels open, as soon as the war was declared.

[Horatio Longworth]

I'm amazed at how simple things were.

[Dementual]

Headaches would be much smaller if things were this simple again.

[Diomede]

It's pretty easy to make things simpler. Don't be a treaty whore. We can live in hope...

[Gopherbashi]

Back when logs were straight to the point, too.

[Ashoka the Great]

Hmmm....right around the time I created my first nation.

Funny thing is, as someone who was unaligned and not even registered on this forum, I didn't even know there was a war going on until after it was over.


EDIT: Correction - The old forum....

[Randleman]

I believe we eventually will see times once again become simpler albeit maybe not that simple minded

[lebubu]

nah, j/k lol

<Chris_Kaos> We've no other choice, really.
<Chris_Kaos> War [against LUE] seems to be the only viable option.

[LJ Scott]

Oh no he didn't.

Almost an hour beforehand. And if you remember, kind of a lot happened in that hour! Like Tygaland nuking someone with whom we had an active MDP!

Sorry, Vlad, but we told you to wait. Not our fault if someone didn't listen.

Here it is:

[23:14:20] <Chris_Kaos> We need four days minimum even if we consider war.
[23:14:31] <Chris_Kaos> We, as in GATO.
[23:14:38] <Chris_Kaos> The rest of...I don't know.

You saw the removal of LUE from existence as being the best thing for the game, and then backed out of it on a procedural technicality. Yoda was also acting on orders from a spy ring, rather than GATO's sense of honour (after all, she'd just been discussing the best way to destroy her ally an hour beforehand).

[Matthew Conrad]

We need new drama, not old.
