Oh, and I also listened to the recorded speech. Greatly enjoyed the introductory chuckle, but I could not tell if Chucklehead was wearing a mask or not, or even if he was a superhero or a supervillain.

[/quote] And my hammer! (Ball-peen) Also this argument about the may the strength never be used is stupid. One could easily misconstrue it's meaning as HoT did, but now that it's explained, we can all shut up about it. Which is why I'm going to continue talking about it, of course. See, the thing is, I, like many other Pacificans, kinda like war. It's fun, and non-bankers/tech sellers get to finally use their nations for something. If we never use our strength, that means no war. Which is boring. So Antonio, even when you try to be nice to us, you're mean to us! So I hope we've all learned a lesson about different alliances, and maybe even friendship. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just sayin' [/quote] As stated before we will extend an olive branch to anyone willing to grasp it. We try to treat everyone with respect but it's people like you who seek to test our patience. Pacifica has been nothing but quiet and respectful since coming out of reps. People keep using us as a boogeyman to keep us politically isolated or think that we are out to kill every alliance that attacked us during Karma, or that we are trying to runaway or can't come to terms with our past. Since I don't think any of you have developed telepathy you don't know what the hell we're thinking or planning. This is coming from someone who used to be Anti-NPO. You know, Back in the days when it wasn't cool to hate them. I joined them recently because I like the attitude they have taken towards the rest of the world. They also learned a lesson from Karma, and no I don't mean the "Haha you aren't big and bad anymore lesson". Because of it they came out smarter and stronger as a community and with a somewhat different outlook that isn't harsh like before. Whether you believe me or not the only thing I can tell you is that our intentions are peaceful. It's that simple. We aren't angels but we also aren't the devils you make us out to be.

DragonsPhyre Posted September 1, 2010 Report Share Posted September 1, 2010 Congratulations, Pacifica, on not only surviving this long, but also continually thriving as a community and as an alliance. I firmly believe a constant process of self-examination and questioning is healthy and necessary for any group to function well over a longer period of time and I've been mostly happy with what I've seen of NPO since her last war. If we never learn from the lessons of the past, then we never truly advance beyond what we are. Change is essential. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
