Nobody likes wild, baseless accusations.

NPO ARE GONNA REBUILD AND COME BACK AND BE AS BAD AS EVER THEY FAILED TO APOLOGIZE THAT MEANS THEY'LL COME FOR US ALL!

It seems to me, sir, that a great many people like this sort of accusation.

Yeah, there's that one sentence in the DoW that goes something like "Actually, we just want to see them burn." Reading the whole thing, ftw.

I love how desperately everyone tries to tie us and our side to OOC as a means of leveraging this war. Its truly quite pitiful AND entertaining!

I do believe it is not a false accusation. You can pretty clearly see it earlier in this thread. Our propaganda is based off the [i]truth[/i], good sir, and I wouldn't have it any other way.

Tedd.

Good job to some recent propaganda here - it's all looking awesome :)

I suppose apples and oranges are more similar than any of us previously imagined, eh?

Not at all. I mean the bad old days of the UJP are back. GOONS, MK, Genmay/Umberlla took great pride in going after peoples personal lives and the same group are up to their old tricks again.

no, but good propaganda usually is.

If your propaganda is a flat out lie, then your opponent can point out that it's a lie, and you look bad.

If your propaganda is based on the truth, the most your opponent can do is argue with your interpretation of that truth.

not if your opponent has no information on the subject..
this example doesnt apply here but anyway
i guess this is
OCC: if there was a war a country could say they were winning to there population even if they were not because the population would not be able to verify if they were winning or not

This is a week old but I was reminded of it yesterday thanks to a message from Polar about POWs. I guess the living conditions in our camps weren't suitable though and Jeezy tried to make a break for it the following night.

I have a hard time resisting the opportunity for counterpropaganda:

yes, but we have vastly more information than the population of a war torn country

The trick is to use enough of the truth that your misdirections or misrepresentations are hidden behind a cloud of truthiness.

An update on the STA top 20 from the night before the Argent Declaration to about half an hour ago. (Earliest I have stats, only includes those that were out of peace)

Not really propaganda. But I like it all the same :)
