WAIT....DID I MISS SOMETHING...DID SOMEONE ACTUALLY DECLARE OMG LOL
ok enough of the caps, just popping in again, i hope to god someone is declaring on someone, to many tribes are so hung up on public image and not wanting to declare without cause or provocation, while this would have worked in the past it no longer does. cut the horse excrement and go for it, war!
you no longer need to validate your stance as propaganda is dead, everryone has bias in their voices and no propaganda is gonna change my mind that ATEN rose to the top so to speak leeching of those that ran in THE great war of this world. but to be honest, ATEN did what they said they would, they allied themselves to both sides and stayed out, can we truly fault them for that? hell i know back in the days i would try and spin that but im no longer part of this world and i have the advantage of a lot of intel from both sides. ATEN played it smart, were they dishonorable in what they did...some were, however some players are simply loyal to ATEN and have no idea what leaders have done to attain success *cough*cpt jack*cough*
ok what im trying to say is, just declare we all know it will happen eventually, no ifs ands or buts about it. this IS going to happen, just grow some balls so to speak and go at it. propaganda has no effect for two simple reasons.
1) we have known each other for way to long and have strongly formed opinions to be influenced at this stage
2) THERE IS NO GOOD PROPAGANDA LEFT
this world is dictated by those that work from up top, from leaders pulling strings and moving diplomacy around to assure their tribes survival and success, why do i say this...ITS TRUE! thats why, i know i have been rather shrewd int he way i handled XIG and its diplomacy i did what i had to and kept to my words, but I always had a goal in mind and slowly moved towards it. if it was not for RL, XIG would still be here and a few other things may have happened.
all this nonsence talk about who is more honourable and what not has no real purpose anymore, just play the game, if i was to say i have never broken my word in this game, how many would believe me? now ask yourself, how many actually give two S**ts lol
im being honest now, i have great freinds in HOT people i would hope to keep in contact with forever so to speak lol, *cough*patti*cough* and some guy named mantho but he is a douche
and i am still trying to speak from an unbiased view point. ATEN on the whole are not bad guys, and both families have 'SAT' the fence so to speak so their is no denying that, both have taken in a huge amount of tribes, what it comes down to is what tien said earlier or in another thread i read, who has more skill now that the numbers are equal, step up...war...and then we will see who is the dominant power of this world.
just a few thoughts from a world 2 old timer, sitting in his arm chair with a cup of tea LOL
