ProdigyNL Posted October 21, 2010 Report Share Posted October 21, 2010 Its a sad day to see Penguin step down, best of luck in real life! Random, best of luck with your work in the position of Emperor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KainIIIC Posted October 21, 2010 Report Share Posted October 21, 2010 [quote name='Ivan Moldavi' timestamp='1287638048' post='2489435'] I tend to agree with this sentiment. Considering that he served as Emperor Sponge's Regent and was the heir apparent before being denied his right to the throne I believe his style is more reminiscent of that era than anything that has existed since. But, Emperor Random is an independent thinker and he has a strong will and mighty resolve. He will chart his own path. [/quote] Yeah, especially since Random was in tLC helping ES, I think he's definitely of a similar CN mindset. It could end up a really good ride as long as he doesn't overdo it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zombie Glaucon Posted October 21, 2010 Report Share Posted October 21, 2010 [quote name='Crymson' timestamp='1287629940' post='2489254'] As a man possessed of a arrogance, anger, antagonism, insensible aggression, and a general lack of wit, Random is indeed the epitome of what it is to be Polar. Yeesh. For all of his unpleasant qualities, at least Electron Sponge had brains. This should be interesting. [/quote] [quote name='Crymson' timestamp='1287630062' post='2489261'] I wonder how much of the praise in this thread will actually be genuine. I imagine there will be a lot of snickering done behind hands tonight.

Kalasin Posted October 21, 2010 Report Share Posted October 21, 2010 I don't understand how simply planning to form your own alliance, while still in Polar, is treason. At least you're not going after them, I suppose. I hope CF haven't been labelled traitors to Polaris, but I suppose it's not my place to decide that. Good luck to Random. And for your interest, Crymson, I mean that sincerely. There are interesting times ahead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To what extent the people involved were doing it covertly and how much organizing they had done depends on who you talk to.

I mean, if they were mass-messaging Polar members to join their alliance, then that would be bad, and they should be ZIed. But if it's just a couple of friends who they think might be interested in forming an alliance, then even though it's recruiting, it's not that bad in my eyes. I suppose it is a violation of CN etiquette though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I expect the involved parties would differ in their portrayal of events, though. Edited October 21, 2010 by Moridin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
