Logan Posted August 7, 2010 Report Share Posted August 7, 2010 [quote name='D34th' timestamp='1281136555' post='2403175'] Since these 2 members are part of the government of your alliance their opinions represent VE's opinion, daddy. [/quote] And the government members that wished them well? The most you could say is that VE's opinion is split. Also Synergy wanted the VE thing dropped, I don't really mind though because I love talking about VE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tupac Posted August 7, 2010 Report Share Posted August 7, 2010 I am so saddened to see the only alliance which I could call home resolve to disbanding. To all those past and present who made it work, there is truly so many of you... I really really have the most love for you and while I wasnt the best I knew you had my back and vice versa. Cheers to some of the best mates I will ever have the pleasure of meeting. I can't put into words the sentiments I have for this alliance. We had a great run and were even almost sanctioned. I got my GUN in my shoe, and I dont bust back because I shoot first... o/ GUN til the end of Xeibio [quote name='goldielax25' timestamp='1281065764' post='2402348'] This is excellent news, what a nice way to end the day. [/quote] Pull your friggen skirt right up and dont be surprised by the sand falling on and around your feet. [quote name='KingEd' timestamp='1281067931' post='2402399'] Sad to see GUN disband. You guys put up a strong fight during the past war and you earned our respect. Best of luck to Zen, CC, Tupac, and the rest. Best of luck. o/ GUN. [/quote] KingEd, hope to either cross paths with you again, be it on the battlefield or a more friendly exchange. TPE was good folk for sure, thanks guys. [quote name='Antonio Salovega VI' timestamp='1281068243' post='2402403'] It is always difficult for me to find the correct words in situations like this. Losing one's alliance is seldom a good thing. The sense of loss can approach the mourning phase of a loved one. Being separated from friends, companions and acquaintances only compounds the loss. I extend my sincere condolences to the member nations of GUN. I wish you well and hope you find homes, new friends and a renewed sense of purpose. [/quote] Thank you for the very kind words. Truly explains a lot of emotions. Cheers and salute. [quote name='GearHead' timestamp='1281096268' post='2402625'] I'm very sad to see you guys go. Out of NATO's allies, you were some of my favorite. Catch you on the flip side, friends. And for those of you headed to TFD, welcome to our humble abode. [/quote] You guys were my favorite allies by far. Cheers and salute im disappointed I didn't get to serve by your side. Don't be surprised if I join your ranks. D34th, kochers; thank you. [quote name='Lennox' timestamp='1281118398' post='2402872'] I havent heard from you guys since the time polar attacked you [/quote] OcUK actually. Yea that was a curbstomp I will never ever, ever forget, the most merciless and cruel attackers ive ever encountered. I hope you remember me because I remember you. Forgive but never forget. It also led us to one of our roughest times in GUN history from which we came back stronger. Cheers to all the mates o/ GUN forever. Last keg of GUN beer that I got is coming out of storage... to the nights we will never remember, with the friends we will never forget.

Overlord Klein Posted August 7, 2010 Report Share Posted August 7, 2010 (edited) I was a diplomat to (green) GUN for Polar during the BLEU conflict and for quite some time before that as well. I remember my time working with them as one of my more pleasant experiences on Bob, and even during the conflict I remember them as being professional and downright pleasant. I even remember someone posting birthday wishes for me on one of the spam boards. I will always remember GUN as a respectable and organized alliance, full of good people. Its sad to see you go, and I wish you all the best wherever you end up. Edited August 7, 2010 by Overlord Klein Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OrangeBlood Posted August 8, 2010 Report Share Posted August 8, 2010 There was an episode between GUN and VE/OV/SethB when Zenergy left OV. OV/VE/SethB had issues with Zen and Zen had issues with VE/OV. Zen returned to GUN and GUN accepts his side of the story. Rift was never really settled. For more details, you'll have to search the OWF for the original thread covering the issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] D34th, My friend, it appears that you have failed to notice the broad diversity of sentiment expressed by the member-nations of the Viridian Entente. The VE is not mono-chromatic in its outlook. Rather the Entente's opionion is colored by a multitude of hues covering the entire spectrum. It appears to me that you have painted Viridia with a very broad brush soaked with color taken from a single shade. I have come to expect that from others who cannot string two words together without quoting from a old, tired cliche. But from a fellow artist and an artist for whom I have a great deal of respect, I thought I could expect better. I can only assume that you have had a day. May I suggest that you re-read the thread and get the complete picture? Antonio Edited August 8, 2010 by Antonio Salovega VI Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MotorCityBadBoy Posted August 9, 2010 Report Share Posted August 9, 2010 [quote name='Zhaan' timestamp='1281121225' post='2402920'] Mglockwo and I came together in May 3 years ago to form GUN. Many of the members from the first few months remained until the bitter end. Can't say I was one of them. She's had her share of hard times and it's time to lay her to rest. I can honestly say that although I've never encountered a more stubborn group of individuals, I've also met some of the most dedicated and loyal ones I've found in CN. Good luck to everyone in your new homes or wherever your path takes you. o/ GUN [/quote] It was a while ago that you and I got this alliance up off the ground. It pains me to see it come to an end. To all the GUNners out there, best of luck to you. Hope I run into you here and there. Rest in peace GUN. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't remember the last time I saw the nation count down around 22k nations. Maybe it's just because of summer, maybe the game is losing popularity, maybe admin and the mods have developed a better guard against multies. Who knows. But if the numbers continue to fall, there may not be an up and coming alliance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
