VE needs funny propaganda. Pictures of warships and Starcraft characters with VE flags on them is not impressive. Where is the creativity?

Also what happened to that frightening "Run free children of GATO" picture? That was awesome (yet terrifying).

Blame Cobalt. Also come out of PM because you're in my range.

I don't think Antonio showed his sig in here. It said something like that every NPO nation not in anarchy or peace mode was a ghost. It was kinda funny. Probably not in the way he meant.

Couldn't help myself. And no, we're not really like that :popcorn:

Considering the spelling in that image, that is probably the single greatest propaganda piece, ever. I don't even like the troll meme thing either.

NPO cooked themselves :lol1:. What a painful and yet, potentially delicious way to go.

We leave so-called 'funny' propaganda to those who need their propaganda to be funny so to mask their actual lack of artistic talent.

Raman Mew Mew is the NPO but Ramen is in the pot. I can only hope that the real Raman Mew Mew is still out there, and Umbrella is just eating noodles.

its a play on words. Ramen like the noodles

Because the correlation is dumb and makes no sense. But its CN propaganda, and so it fits the profile.

But in a more important note, I see a certain lack of MK images. There was one big blast but then, nothing much fallowed. They really do produce the most quality work, which isnt dumb or making no sense.

No, its not. While I am sure that at this point a portion of the membership is (its 550 players btw, in war mode more players then MK and Umb hold together), to make that statement for the entirety of NPO is stretching it a lot.

Though that is fine and propaganda is meant to stretch things, and I certainly dont feel compel to argue over it in length, many will not make this connection so hence why its lost on some. Quality work, like that usually made by MK, while stretching things is clear in sense that people connect the dots easily even if they by party lines like it or not, agree with it or not, etc.

Ok. I don't think you know what turtling means, but alright, I understand that part now.

...

Why is it called Ramen Mew-mew though?

Since NPO seems to have a hard time understanding how they are NOT Raman Mew-Mew and the concept of how he came about I will go ahead and draw this out from day 1.

Get some popcorn and a soda.... and we go back....

Umbrella (DH) DoWed on NPO... We (Umbrella) expected to see some sort of counters... that never came.. thus came the first strip of the series.
[img]http://upload.stripgenerator.com/strip/38/88/64/00/00/full.png[/img]

So moving away from the humor of the waiting and it no panning out I moved on to trying to bait counters.
[img]http://www.isymbol.net/umb/war/bait.png[/img]

Some on OWF took it as we were trying to bait NPO to come into the war with the previous strip. So then came the following, trying to add a little more incentive. (RC car.. how cool!)
[img]http://www.isymbol.net/umb/war/fnfumbrella.png[/img]

All the while umbrella still has 0 counters... but what do we start to see from NPO.. lots and lots of turtling.. so... (Here's to looking at you NPO)
[img]http://www.isymbol.net/umb/war/turtle.png[/img]

With that simple strip Raman Mew-Mew was created. A NPO turtle becoming our pet. Raman was a nation I was at war with in NPO, so the partial name was born, Mew-Mew.. dunno randomly came to mind, but it just fit, and everyone latched onto it.

CD decided to poke fun at umbrella for not understanding tactics so there was this..
[img]http://www.isymbol.net/umb/war/audit.png[/img]

The people feel in love with Raman Mew-Mew.. and he was like a freaking star over night, my sever hits went up over 600% on just those images alone. so then came this.. Trying to bait TPF as well...
[img]http://www.isymbol.net/umb/war/poordog.png[/img]

Now we have Disco, the umbrella dog. Who is not happy that he is no longer umbrellas best friend. In the meantime Umbrella was sitting idle but Raman Mew-Mew is a little mischievous sometimes and tried to sabotage us. so there was this..
[img]http://www.isymbol.net/umb/war/sdimanual.png[/img]

This whole time Disco was not getting the attention and started to build up a fire, a rage inside for Raman Mew-Mew and thought it would be best if Raman Mew-Mew became a new bowl for him to drink his refreshing water out of.. so then came this...
[img]http://www.isymbol.net/umb/war/ohnoes.png[/img]

Whoa.. power outage.. the suspense grew.. the people grew went into shock.. the worry, the fear.. they even wanted the dog disbanded.. when the lights are out though you never know what happens.. and then came this...
[img]http://www.isymbol.net/umb/war/ramansout.png[/img]

Yea.. I know right; sneaky Raman Mew-Mew for a slow turtle somehow got out, and put Disco in his cage.. Umbrellas new pet is out.. now with a Axe and shades.. the outcome? unknown.. its a showdown.. then came this...
[img]http://www.isymbol.net/umb/war/caged.png[/img]

Ah Ha! umbrella will never let a pet get away, were always watching.. Turtles also dont seem to be the achilles heel for umbrella either.

The people were inspired by this time with Raman Mew-Mew they wanted to DoW in his honor.. so they did.. when King Raman Mew-Mew was posted a spam report was sent to the mods.. from this.. a verbal warning for a rule even a mod had a hard time explaining more than just highlighting the line. It didnt matter Raman Mew-Mew in the time staying in the umbrella house hold had grew a spine, that spine would speak out.. so there came this...
<I'll get banned im sure if I post this strip, so no joy. hug a mod today>

From here.. I got suspended from the forums.. Puppets in the mean time has made an attempt to make Raman Mew-Mew since I was gone.
[img]http://i.imgur.com/7fRGv.png[/img]

48 hours later I'm back.
[img]http://www.isymbol.net/umb/war/freedom.png[/img]

Few days go by, and we finally see some dows.. kinda.. nothing really 'direct' at us.. and a lack of really following through with attacks, comes this..
[img]http://www.isymbol.net/umb/war/targets.png[/img]

So there you have it, the quick and somewhat drawn out creation of Raman Mew-Mew. So yes NPO, it is a straight reflection of you and how the majority of your nations did in battle.

Doesn't propaganda need to be understandable?
[/quote]

People praise D34th for his ability to toss together some pretty neat flash .gifs combined with broken, incomprehensible English all the time....so, no.

Oh, so you're actually drawing all the pictures of ships and stuff? I thought for sure you were taking those out of video game screenshots.

REALLY? Good thing you pointed that out.

Ok. I don't think you know what turtling means
[/quote]

Turtle. An animal that pulls its head, legs, and tail into its hard protective shell when threatened by predators. I didn't even have to use Wikipedia for that. Everyone is well-aware of what a freaking turtle is and why 'turtling' matches the description of what your pathetic upper tier is doing at this very moment.

[quote name='Branimir' timestamp='1297962976' post='2636729']
No, its not.
[/quote]

Yes, it is. Take off your damn blinders and look at your own alliance's stats page once in a while.

I'm probably horribly oblivious, but does Disco represent someone in particular?
[/quote]

Nah, Disco is just .. Disco..

I may have a cat coming in at some point too.. His name will be pepper. Haven't worked him in yet though.

Raman Mew Mew deserves his own wiki page so he can forever go down into history as the greatest thing ever created. Just think being able to quickly read Raman Mew Mew every day by just searching for Raman Mew Mew in the wiki. The whole explanation post put on a wiki page would be the instant #1 searched page for the CN wiki.


It's true, you know it is....

Raman was a nation I was at war with in NPO, so the partial name was born, Mew-Mew..
[/quote]

I still don't fully get this though. It looks like the real [url="http://www.cybernations.net/nation_drill_display.asp?Nation_ID=170809&Extended=1"]Raman[/url] is an NPO nation that Umbrella and the rest of DH failed to get a stagger on, thus allowing him to enter PM after the 1st round of war.
How exactly is he a turtle ?

Why would you pride yourself with your own incompetence and then make propaganda pieces about it ?

Wait, you're the one who makes all those crappy boats? You think that taking a picture of a boat (that you did not create), and photoshopping a flag onto said boat, is artistic talent?

I have this to say to you: rofl
