Locke Posted December 20, 2010 Report Share Posted December 20, 2010 [quote name='Arrnea' timestamp='1292856113' post='2546531'] Good luck UPN, you're definitely going to need it with Mr. Realpolitik Policy Of Not Entering Losing Wars at the helm again. [/quote] I don't think that was so much about entering for allies as it was for starting a war. It's not the greatest statement ever, but it's not an uncommon sentiment either. It certainly wasn't their reasoning for staying out of Bipolar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RePePe Posted December 20, 2010 Report Share Posted December 20, 2010 It appears to me that UPN for too long has had too many indians and not enough [i]good[/i] chiefs. Best of luck in righting the ship, Altheus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wickedj Posted December 20, 2010 Report Share Posted December 20, 2010 [quote name='Arrnea' timestamp='1292856113' post='2546531'] So I guess all that was wrong with UPN was a state of mind? (Or was it a [b]State[/b] of Mind?) Good luck UPN, you're definitely going to need it with Mr. Realpolitik Policy Of Not Entering Losing Wars at the helm again. [/quote] he should be proud of that statement, hell iFOK and PC should pay him copyright dues for it, I'd wish you good luck but lets face it UPN, you amuse me on a near-daily basis so changing would deprive me of lulz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duncan King Posted December 20, 2010 Report Share Posted December 20, 2010 It's about time, Alt. The people who were leading UPN in your absence were hilariously and criminally inept and I wish you luck in ending the spiral. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TECUMSEH Posted December 21, 2010 Report Share Posted December 21, 2010 Godspeed, Altheus. We need you now. It would hurt, heh, if Hans and Magister and Vox and a few others returned either. A man can dream, I suppose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ashenkine Posted December 22, 2010 Report Share Posted December 22, 2010 Good Altheus, Having once been a long time member of UPN, I believe in your ability to resurrect what has been lost. Quite frankly, I was not aware of the extent of troubles beseiging your halls. A good many noble people of ability may have left, but most started with little or no experience. A young membership can be made great with proper guidance, as I am sure you well know. Godspeed, old friend.

Sir Sci Posted December 23, 2010 Report Share Posted December 23, 2010 Ya know, I just looked at your banner and thought to myself "hmmmm, I've seen that before." Although I certainly do not mind if anybody in UPN uses it in any way, shape, or form for free, it may have been nice if somebody had let me know that my work was being used just so that, well, I knew my work was being used.

[/quote] You are entirely correct, my work is not entirely original, my entire concept derived from Aeroflot's logo. What can I say, I like the design? Why not utilize its concept? And I can guarantee you that what is in that banner is based off of what I made, because I made it for a UPN flag design contest that got canceled (if anyone else remembers that). When it got canceled I thought I might as well send it to UPN anyway, so I sent it to somebody in the UPN. I never heard anything more. Like I said, I have no problem with anybody using it. I don't think I need compensation or anything. I just wish somebody had let me know it was being used. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
