Hyperion321 Posted January 25, 2011 Report Share Posted January 25, 2011 (edited) This is the first war in a long time that I am actually excited about. We have [b]finally[/b] returned to the old ways of CN. Major alliances are debating black operations against one another and [i]actually going to war over it[/i]. People are doing away with arbitrary treaty chains and politics and just attacking the enemy. Pacifica and FAN/MK, the two greatest historical enemies in CN history are going at for the hell of it [i]and loving every minute[/i] that they get to tear each other apart. People have allies on both sides but are fighting anyway, in some cases on both sides. Major powers are flipping sides left and right. No longer are we constrained by fear of reps of repercussions for our actions. We are all, finally, doing what we want when we want to. We are [i]finally[/i] playing CN again. This isn't the "Bye-Polar War" - this is the "Cut the bull-$%&@ War". To Pacifica, good luck in beating the hell out of Doomhouse. To Doomhouse, good luck in beating the hell out of Pacifica. To AZTEC, thanks for giving us something to do. I'm sure we'll both enjoy the destruction To NSO and Legion, hurry the hell up. This war won't last forever. To RIA, you gentlemen have quite the pair on you. I like it. To Polar and VE, thanks. So let's all cut the bull-$%&@ people. This war is big, bloody, and awesome, and we all know it. I don't know if this war will revive CN, I guess that depends on if people other than Polar get white peace or reps, but what I do know is that this is the most fun I've had here in years. Thanks everyone. Edited January 25, 2011 by Hyperion321 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Branimir Posted January 25, 2011 Report Share Posted January 25, 2011 This depends on the perspective of a player in game. Those wining, for them it will always be awesome, those losing more often then not will not have as much fun. It is all quite understandable.

Trinite Posted January 25, 2011 Report Share Posted January 25, 2011 Defense departments love this war. FA departments do not. I will admit it is epic... but then again so was Gilgamesh, and that was really boring get through and ended in tragedy if I remember correctly. For now, yes this is quite fun, and I am thoroughly enjoying it, but for the future... we shall see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sammykhalifa Posted January 25, 2011 Report Share Posted January 25, 2011 (edited) I was all for it at the onset, but the last few events have turned it way more meanspirited and bitter. I like the fun wars where the sides can shake hands at the end and go about their business. Edited January 25, 2011 by sammykhalifa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ktarthan Posted January 25, 2011 Report Share Posted January 25, 2011 (edited) I absolutely agree. The only disappointing thing from this war so far is that the peanut gallery seems to be allergic to change. Changing the world means you're evil, and changing your mind means you're a hipocrite. Edit: Gasp, Hyperion, we agree on something! Edited January 25, 2011 by ktarthan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sulmar Posted January 25, 2011 Report Share Posted January 25, 2011 I actually agree with the fact that this war will probably be the best war ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there are no consequences then there is no motivation and no motivation breeds apathy. Back in "my day" CN was fueled with anger and rage, and that was what made it great. Recently apathy has crept in and made the actual battle results meaningless. This looks to change and that's a very good thing. Although I wish the diplomatic front was given more time to work rather than a rush to War. I believe everything can be worked out if the warring parties would all just sit down and rap honestly and openly about our feelings toward one another.

Partisan Posted January 25, 2011 Report Share Posted January 25, 2011 (edited) IC the war should be mean and bitter, as long as we all realize that it remains a game and are able to shake hands with eachother OOC.

Rebel Virginia Posted January 25, 2011 Report Share Posted January 25, 2011 [color="#0000FF"]Personally I find this war to be the most fun I've had since noCB. I am not sure there should be no terms, but honestly, the defeated alliances, whoever loses (still is in the air, could go either way depending on certain factors at this point), should not be crippled. Harsh terms for the core alliances, I suppose is the norm, but not to the point where the are immobilized and sidelined for a year, as has been the case so far since Karma. Major alliances should be able to get back into play relatively quickly. A month or two of reps is more than enough to seed enough resentment for there to be motivation for revenge. Keeping someone down for a year or more just gives people motivation to not do anything out of fear of that being them. That is something most of you have yet to figure out for some reason I do not know.[/color] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prodigal Moon Posted January 25, 2011 Report Share Posted January 25, 2011 This war has a lot of promise. Pretty much everyone is (or will be) involved. The sides look nearly even. There is real rivalry and animosity between the major players. Here's hoping that people treat this like an actual war and pay for keeps, rather than white peacing as soon as they loose 20% of their NS.

They will both probably be long, drawn out wars that end with very harsh terms and the people on top will extend their ns lead over those on the bottom.
