Needless to say many people were confused.

I've never used that one though, gotta try it sometime I have used Sponge's "No that's dumb go away" Edited January 9, 2011 by Tarikmo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Felix von Agnu Posted January 9, 2011 Report Share Posted January 9, 2011 I've wanted to say 'Not accept' in conversations before, but I always stop myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarmatian Empire Posted January 9, 2011 Report Share Posted January 9, 2011 I've seen a few alliance names and thought of em....saw MP somewhere too...my biggest moment was going to school. I looked up on a grassy area and saw a gopher standing up and instantly gopherbashi popped into my head.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Ilyani Posted January 9, 2011 Report Share Posted January 9, 2011 I've, like other, seen plenty of license plates, store signs, etc. That remind me of stuff in CyberNations. I also have occasionally used CN jokes in conversations before... at least when I don't stop myself from doing so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tarikmo Posted January 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2011 I don't know how I forgot this one, The Lounge, which started out in CN, I also made a real life counterpart too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R3nowned Posted January 10, 2011 Report Share Posted January 10, 2011 Well, CN has allowed me to identify the ANZUS treaty as a non-chaining MDoAP bloc My teacher looked at me funny when I said that XD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goldie Posted January 10, 2011 Report Share Posted January 10, 2011 Can't really credit CN for anything, but the Diablo series expanded my vocabulary immensely. I'm pretty much a walking thesaurus for weapons/armors/etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Little Fame Monster Posted January 10, 2011 Report Share Posted January 10, 2011 [quote name='TheListener' timestamp='1294527501' post='2568943'] I go to a smaller university and I can name 2 other players... one of which is actually allied to me and the other I formed an alliance with, granted I've never met them IRL...

The Corrupt Teacher Posted January 10, 2011 Report Share Posted January 10, 2011 I use what I learn from CN all the time. When someone complains about something I do that I don't care about I just reply "So do something about it." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol. I've found myself having to stop. think. then speak. to refrain from using CN lingo in RL conversations. Another I find myself saying a lot is "no u". I've also seen a lot licence plates, etc. The one I see the most is on my way to work, POLARIS, some ATV place in Nashville, TN. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to spend many friday evenings sitting at the pub talking cn politics (amongst our slew of other topics before getting drunk and essentially turning our table - always several tables by the time we left - into more or less a spam forum game) with one of my friends who had actually gotten me involved in CN (one of my poker buddies) .. He was Legion, I was OASIS - then we both went VE .. Ardus' wedding gift to him was our disbandment (yes, the exact day of his wedding lol) .. I think since he quit, I'm now the only known-person in my city playing. Next closest person I know is Ecthelion up the highway about 25 minutes - tho we've not met.

bandnerd Posted January 10, 2011 Report Share Posted January 10, 2011 in a few of of my last history classes, on exams my teacher always puts an essay question at the end about whatever the main topic of the section was. I have taken I think now 9 of this style exams, and have made reference to CN on at least 4 of them. and the times I have referenced it I have always gotten at least 18 of the 20 possible points for the question. also has helped me out in the past about various terminology on quizzes (mainly types of treaties) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most international treaties that don't relate to things that don't exist in CN at all (for example the Kyoto Protocol and other environmental treaties, or the Geneva Conventions and the like) can be mapped fairly easily to one of the ones we use all the time.

Sir Keshav IV Posted January 10, 2011 Report Share Posted January 10, 2011 CN helped me in class to explain how treaties work and what they are and how surrender terms are evil.

Adrian LaCroix Posted January 10, 2011 Report Share Posted January 10, 2011 Besides the occasional meme drop (I use "Did you x really too stupid to y" with some frequency, and I've been known to say "not accept" or variants), I'm always dangerously close to accidentally answering questions about the Production Possibility Frontier in my micro classes with some reference to the PPF.

We made the news yay! Then when i paid attention i was like .. aww.. and then i was looking to see if others noticed my reaction. Edit: this was around the mid of the Karma war.
