Omniscient1 Posted October 12, 2010 Report Share Posted October 12, 2010 [quote name='kerschbs' timestamp='1286921208' post='2482889'] I personally like VE, and a lot of their members. However, I have a pretty strong dislike for most of the other members of this bloc, minus FOK, who I'm neutral on. If PB wants to make things interesting, they should drop all their outside PB treaties. That'll never happen though, so CN looks like it just got even more boring for the future. Edit: Also, if GATO has any balls left, I would expect them to cancel on VE. [/quote] GATO should just throw away good friends so the rest of us can argue back and forth who was right. That makes absolutely no sense. I love you Krabs, but this comment was just stupid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stumpy Jung Il Posted October 12, 2010 Report Share Posted October 12, 2010 [quote name='supercoolyellow' timestamp='1286913213' post='2482740'] May I propose a simpler definition of hegemony Being in power And let me propose a definition of being a ebil hegemony. Being in power and being an ass. However, I do agree that the alliances involved in these three blocs will likely be in less harmony with one another than before this bloc. This of course being as result of the the existence of this bloc and the events of the past few weeks. [/quote] Neither of your definitions of hegemony are remotely correct. Hegemony, at its simplest definition, means being in power without having to fear opposition due to the sheer gap of power between you and any opponents. In this game "ebil hegemony" means being remotely ahead of the other side and not being on their side. Everyone who !@#$%*es about the so called Hegemony at this moment are both incompetent because they have been completely incapable of forming an opposition and hypocritical because many of them thrived under NPO when they legitimately DID have a Hegemony (see: MCXA).

Buckshorn Posted October 12, 2010 Report Share Posted October 12, 2010 VE teaming up with some of the best alliances on this game, hands down.

Kowalski Posted October 12, 2010 Report Share Posted October 12, 2010 [quote name='Schattenmann' timestamp='1286917556' post='2482815'] There's plenty of sloppy wording that will be troublesome in certain situations. The area on amendments is surprisingly crummy. [/quote] Does that mean we can look forward to plenty of baawing and e-lawyering whenever anything remotely interesting happens?

Bob Janova Posted October 12, 2010 Report Share Posted October 12, 2010 [quote]Hegemony, at its simplest definition, means being in power without having to fear opposition due to the sheer gap of power between you and any opponents.[/quote] That's a very good short form. Hopefully everyone reads it and remembers it. If PB, SF and C&G were in fact one megabloc, then we would be in a hegemonic position. But we're not, as was pointed out earlier we don't have any shared members (like Continuum/One Vision) or major interconnected treaties. (Pretty much everyone was treatied to the Continuum; not that many people are directly treatied to PB.) If you persist in believing in the old world dichotomy of 'NPO vs LUE' then sure, the 'LUE' side – everything that isn't a close friend of NPO – is huge, overbearing and hegemonic. But things aren't like that any more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
