uaciaut Posted August 23, 2010 Report Share Posted August 23, 2010 [quote name='Kzoppistan' timestamp='1282534843' post='2427219'] Well that was stupid. What a waste of my time; the title should be "The most unpopular alliances as ranked by a few people who may or may not be clustered together in their biases. Also, they can't sit at out lunch table." I would actually like to see some one tackle this idea from a more objective angle, using the scientific method and measurable benchmarks.

Believland Posted August 23, 2010 Report Share Posted August 23, 2010 [quote name='wickedj' timestamp='1282537666' post='2427288'] Your obession with Penkala and CSN is borderline creepy, you should check into that [/quote] I smell a restraining order. I'm having a tough time between UPN and NATO though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel P Posted August 23, 2010 Report Share Posted August 23, 2010 Why I got to go on a different Forum just to choose. Why not put a poll or let a person just put the worst alliance on this tread and you(Chickenzilla) just tally up the posts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryan Greenberg Posted August 23, 2010 Report Share Posted August 23, 2010 Out of the ones remaining on the bracket, I would easily choose TSO. If Sparta or GOONS were left, it might be a little harder to choose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeff barr Posted August 23, 2010 Report Share Posted August 23, 2010 [quote name='der_ko' timestamp='1282519986' post='2427025'] I'd love to see this "contest" done on the OWF, but I seriously doubt the thread would survive for very long before igniting a flamewar. Also, it's a travesty GDA was knocked out so early. [/quote] Yeah, GDA is bad. They could probably rival The Legion. At least the Legion drags their suck out over a long period of time. GDA makes brief stints of full force fail. They havent been in the news much lately. That makes me sad actually. They make me lol. GOD has violated the NPO. bahahahahaha, still makes me laugh.

Even if you don't like AlterEgo as a poster, BAPS are decent fighters and at least have more active nations than fingers on your hand. I couldn't say the same for WP.

JWConner Posted August 23, 2010 Report Share Posted August 23, 2010 (edited) Wow, finally got access to the MK forums, and just wow! I know the voting is over for NSO vs VA, but let's clear a few things up, shall we? VA didn't surrender to 2 rogues, BK and Penkala. BK and Penkala got CSN to get them out of war. While we were attacking both nations, CSN stepped in and accepted them as members without our approval. After discussing things with CSN gov, we agreed to white peace as both were close enough to ZI. We absolutely never surrendered to anyone, and we didn't pay reps to anyone. Blatant lies were made in the MK thread to bash us. And considering that story alone was used to change many people's minds on us, I'm clearing things up here.
