Re: OT: Cyber Nation
 

And that is the nice thing about OCS, we too are neutral and will just be getting on with business as usual.

Re: OT: Cyber Nation
 

If your doing the exact same thing why not just join the WP and we can all be neutral together?

Re: OT: Cyber Nation
 

Hmmm, I can't keep trade partners for the life of me.

I have 3 openings available if anyone wants Coal/Gems.

Re: OT: Cyber Nation
 

Because we formed OCS. We are a bit more involved with the game and wanted an alliance of our own that reflects that interest.

We have our own forums, our own flag, help files, allies, and skill sets. We offer players more than just basic level log in and check your nation once a day dogma.

You have the WP but what else do you have? None of your members really take advantage of their resources, hardly any have grown. Look at my nation compared to most members of the WP, we all started around the same time yet I am considerably larger than they. I want to offer people the chance to grow and grow well. Or if they want to just play one as usual then they have the freedom to do so knowing that they have more than one nation watching their backs.

I owe you much CW, you got me into the game and you have built a stable alliance. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif Now I want to do what you did and build up a new alliance.

Re: OT: Cyber Nation
 

It's extremely difficult to get a good trading system going if you don't belong to a large alliance...finding and keeping trading partners is hell. I've been relatively lucky, 6 bonus resources, and growing fairly fast now http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/laugh.gif

Do keep me apprised of WWIV, I don't care to look at the CN forums, but would appreciate the abridged version if it isn't too much trouble http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: OT: Cyber Nation
 

I've been lucky, a fairly steady 7 bonus resources.

Re: OT: Cyber Nation
 

I already have coal but I could use gems if you want lead and iron. I'm Demon Island.

Re: OT: Cyber Nation
 

Sigh. Yet more lecturing on how this game "ought" to be played.

I for one am quite content with Fiducia's current rate of growth.

Re: OT: Cyber Nation
 

Yeah I could improve things by actually taking a government/religion the people want, but I'm not interested in a game telling me what choices to make. I decided what I wanted my country to be and I'm not being forced to compromise.

as for resources, I can't be bothered. Anyway I can never bring myself to abandon anyone willing to trade with me just beacuse I'm greedy.

Re: OT: Cyber Nation
 

I already have lead, but I'll take some iron.

If you find a better trade just let me know and I'll be fine with you discontinuing the trade.

Re: OT: Cyber Nation
 

I am not trying to lecturing any one capnq. I am sorry you feel that way though. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/frown.gif

Re: OT: Cyber Nation
 

I've already explained this once in a PM to someone else. Maybe it will save me some hassle to post it publically.

I do not take well to unsolicited advice. Especially when it makes assumptions about what my goals are, or should be, or I don't trust the motivation behind the advice.

I should pay more attention when my instincts tell me I ought to avoid looking at public forums until my mood improves. I've been under an unusual amount of real world stress, and this was the fourth time in three weeks that I've been tempted to flame someone. I was a little surprised that CW didn't call you out for ignoring his recent request not to use this thread to try to recruit people away from WP. (Although checking back, I see that he said that over three weeks ago, so I suppose people could have missed it or forgotten it by now.)

Re: OT: Cyber Nation
 

On an unrelated topic, I am a bit relieved to hear you say that. I'm still a bit ashamed of the message I sent you a few months back when I too was under stress. It wasn't personal I know but it did teach me to perhaps sleep on things before I answer straight away. Anyhow I just thought I'd mention that.

Edit: hey and let me just say we think alike http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif I am also a bit wary of advice from players in games where they might be an enemy. I had one game where I refused to lsiten to advice another player gave the group on the basis that he was an enemy. Later I read it, and followed some of it, after my alliance told me to.

Re: OT: Cyber Nation
 

My Two Cents

If people don't want advise they have the choice to not read peoples advice posts. I for one found them very helpful and thank those who offered valid advice about how to play the game. Again, if people don't want free advice, thats their call, but they shouldn't ***** about it when its their choice to read the post or not.

Re: OT: Cyber Nation
 

hahha look whos back its that guy who I posted all the battle reports from when he attacked me. Aparently I hurt his feelings so hes back to show me what a little girl he aparently is

From stevent37

"After seeing how much trash you where talking on the Gaming message board I desided to give it another shot......

Looks like your ahead now but some how I dont think thats the way this will end.

For your &%$@ talking I will accept except 3 million and 50 tech and a peace offer, otherwise u eat a nuke at update.

Have a nice day"

Anyone that is a regular to the thread knows my attitude toward the game http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/laugh.gif If you have a nuke and have anyways wanted to use it nows your chance but if not Mineral planets will always be the best http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif


Edit:

After 2 air and 2 cruise missile attacks from this guy who is aparently the defense secratary for his big alliance and has twice the nation strength as me this is the best he can do on the ground and I am still in Defcon 5

You have been attacked by stevent37. You lost 4,071 soldiers and 651 tanks. You killed 13,001 soldiers and 3,182 tanks. Their forces razed 0.000 miles of your land, stole 0.000 technology, and destroyed 0.000 infrastructure. Their forces looted $0.00 from you and you gained $47,766.88 in your enemy's abandoned equipment. In the end the battle was a Victory. Any existing peace offers that were on the table have been automatically canceled.

Edit2:
oh and in case you were wondering the 2 air attacks he made were complete desvestating losses for him too. I lost 5 planes he lost 24

edit3:
Just launched 2 cruise missiles for the fun of it

Re: OT: Cyber Nation
 

Hah, it's funny what idiots will do sometimes.

You know, if I were building some kind of combat simulation where you only give x number of units A & B vs. y number of units C & D, I would give bonuses for being 1) the defender, and 2) the smaller number, then just throw in a bit of randomness for fun. Looks like whoever is administering CyberNations is doing the same thing.

Re: OT: Cyber Nation
 

Edit: I sent aid to alot of people accept as fast as you can soon my nation will be no more though a creative explotation of the games mechanics.

Re: OT: Cyber Nation
 

and as an end to all this I think the WP is officially desolved http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/laugh.gif

aka change alliances soon http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/laugh.gif and maybe everyone should sit in peace mode for awhile, sorry for the problems

Re: OT: Cyber Nation
 

Kick his *** Wombat! GO WOMBAT!

Re: OT: Cyber Nation
 

Why would it be dissolved? If this guy is so worried about his e-peen that the rest of the alliance gets involved, I'm of mind to fight it out for a week or two until it gets boring and one side or the other quits.

Re: OT: Cyber Nation
 

Its disolved not because this guy but because of everyone else that plays the game, the alliance was already down to only 19 people and with me out of the picture theres hardly any defense left http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/laugh.gif

Re: OT: Cyber Nation
 

CW you know once this conflict is resolved or even if you delete and start over you can count on aid from me. It is the least I can do.

Right now OCS cannot accept any one who is currently involved in any wars, especially wolfpack. All other who are interested in joining OCS please feel free to pm me here or in the game. I will pass on your request to General Jangles.

Re: OT: Cyber Nation
 

General Jangles has informed me that any one who wishes to join our new alliance is welcome to join provided that you are not currently at war with any other nation.

He asks that you pm him in the game and that you change your AA to Organization of Confederated States and that you put OCS Applicant in your nation bio.

Also since OCS is a neutral alliance there are some considerations that you must first accept. 1. no attacking any other nation. (Once your in the alliance we can explain why.) 2. You must join our forum and fill out an application. 3. You need to use your Nation Ruler name when signing up for the forum. 4. you will be asked to read our charter and agree to it. 5. You must list Organization of Confederated States as your Alliance Affiliation. 6. You must put OCS Applicant into your nation bio. And 7. you must change your team color to Orange.

Since we are a new alliance, there are risks, these risks are lessoned by the fact that we do have allies with other alliances, however several of them are currently engaged in GW IV, and may not be available to help us. This means that we must all take care not to piss off any other nations or alliances until we can solidify our defenses and establish a good relationship with more allied alliances.

Again if you are interested in joining OCS please pm me here or General Jangles in the CN. Thank you and good luck.

Re: OT: Cyber Nation
 

Hello everyone, I am General Jangles. Council of Three member which is the same level as Atrocities. This will probably be my only post here on these forums. I must announce there are a few deviations to what good Atrocities just stated.

We allow tech raiding for people that are inactive.

Please notify of your intent to join and we may be able to work you out of Wolfpack's grasp, you may not do so until we are given the OK from Wolfpack. This may involve paying reparations and such, but we will mostly handle that.

Our forums are down currently, so those that are not in a war currently may place "Organization of Confederated States" with the exception you place "OCS Applicant" in your bio.

Re: OT: Cyber Nation
 

I suggest you consider posting your charter in the C N Wiki.

Re: OT: Cyber Nation
 

Please if any one has more information about the demands that wolfpack has made about reparations please post about them..

Re: OT: Cyber Nation
 

If you don't mind me asking, what was this creative exploitation of the game mechanics? Does it mean that you're gonna be blown to hell and back?

If the Protectorate's being dissolved, I think I'll go it solo for a bit http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/frown.gif

Re: OT: Cyber Nation
 

Sorry to hear that you got trampled on CW. I think egos get a little to inflated on these kind of internet games.

I think I'm going to keep doing my usual routine until some person designs some reason to raid me some more and then quit.

Re: OT: Cyber Nation
 

General Jangles and I are attempting to work out a deal with wolfpack to get the members who accepted aid from CW after his conflict with wolfpack started and were put on their ZI list removed from that list.

More info as we get things worked out.

Re: OT: Cyber Nation
 

Well thanks to the smooth talking work of General Jangles we have a deal with wolfpack to save the four nations that accepted aid from CW. We are going to pay them off to get you guys off of their ZI list. If you haven't yet joined OCS and want to, please follow the instructs as outlined in the above posts.

I will be sending the affected nations a PM via CN mail out lining the deal. Don't worry, you guys can keep the tech, and won't have to pay anything out of your own treasury.

Atrocities

Re: OT: Cyber Nation
 

Does that mean you can confirm that stevent37 has the support of his alliance? Because I have yet to see any evidence that Buffalonia isn't acting alone, and in violation of the Wolfpack's published charter.

I'm also curious as to who tipped off stevent37 about the trash talk. I seriously doubt he was looking at this forum before Combat Wombat published the results of the first tech raid.

And is anybody else having problems with the in-game e-mail system? The login screen and nation report insist I have a new message in my Inbox, but my Inbox claims to be empty.

Re: OT: Cyber Nation
 

We did not discuss that topic capnq, only getting the four members who accepted aid from CW off of wolfpacks ZI list.

Re: OT: Cyber Nation
 

I'm curious as to how people in CN got tipped off that this forum existed in the first place, but then again I'm not on the ball when it comes to the great strategies of Cybernations....

Re: OT: Cyber Nation
 

You guys are so uncreative, just search google for wombat protectorate, this entire forum is indexed

Re: OT: Cyber Nation
 

Hello Guys. Sadly I guess you all know by now what has happened to Combat and the Wombat Protectorate has been officially dissolved. I know many of you will just move on but I want to ask each of you if you would consider an alternative to going it alone.

Come join me at OCS. As a new alliance we are always looking for members. I know many of you from Space Empires and I invite you to join forces with us at OCS and become a member.

As we grow we can provide aid to new nations and those who are trying to rebuild. Together we would be stronger and together we can move forward as an alliance worthy of respect.

If you are interested in joining the Organization of Confederated States, please pm me and I will send you our information.

Atrocities

Re: OT: Cyber Nation
 

To be completely honest the 7 steps of what to do to join OCS is about 7 steps too many for me. I've already got another web game I'm enjoying far more and it's taking a good chunk of my attention.

Re: OT: Cyber Nation
 

I'm not convinced we were ever organized enough for CW to have the authority to dissolve the WP.

Let me rephrase my question, then. Is anyone negotiating with any Wolfpack member other than stevent37?

I'm having trouble thinking of a reason for anyone to Google this thread. It seems more likely to me that someone who already reads it pointed him here.

Re: OT: Cyber Nation
 

I don't even know what the wolfpack is, or what was wrong with the aid CW gave out.

Re: OT: Cyber Nation
 

capnq we negotiated with the leader of the alliance not with stevent37. We did not get into a discussion about him. What we did do, after I was contacted last night and told to give up the tech I accepted, was work with them to try and save the guys in WP from being ZI'ed in a war.

GuyofDoom, seven very easy things to do. But if its not your thing, then good luck with the new game. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

OCS is just inviting any one who wants a join the alliance to do so. We make no promises about things, we are a new alliance and being as such there are risks. But any one who joins would be getting in on the ground floor. It is entirely up to each of you what you want to do, I cannot tell you what to do nor would I ever even try. I just hope that if your interested that you join OCS. Other than that good luck to you in whatever you choose to do. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: OT: Cyber Nation
 

I would be inclined to agree, but then again my past "horrible" crimes may have also drawn unwanted attention to the Wombat Protectorate.

Re: OT: Cyber Nation
 

I looked this morning on CN and it doesn't say anything about the WP being dissolved. So far it's only been said it's dissolved in the forums here. Maybe a delay? Still says I'm in the WP alliance. Just an CN E-mail from Atrocities trolling for members for his alliance.

Re: OT: Cyber Nation
 

My first thought was 'CNN? Why would WP news be on there?'

But, it is very early in the morning and I should get to sleep.

Re: OT: Cyber Nation
 

Theres no actual way anyone can dissolve an alliance just like theres no way I could keep anyone from joining. The only reason I posted that it should be dissolved is because all of you will get attacked constantly with the alliance in such shambles it is way safer just for you to go mooch off another alliance for protection or actually join one like OCS.

Re: OT: Cyber Nation
 

Thanks for the update. Time to move on then away from CN.

Re: OT: Cyber Nation
 

You try to invite people out of kindness and its called trolling. Nice.

Re: OT: Cyber Nation
 

Sorry if you took it badly, and I apologize for the word "trolling" but I only read these forums concerning CN. Looking back the last few pages of posts. CW is doing pretty good, interspersed by join OCS, several times, then CW made some comments and then is doing bad and the Wombat Protectorate is "dissolved" but you can still join OCS.

Inquiring minds may want to know if this was some sort of elaborate plan to destroy the WP? Was there collusion between OCS and the Wolfpack to dismantle the WP? Was the forums not googled but intentionally pointed out? Who was the real puppetmaster pulling all the strings?

I'm sure we'll never really know but the truth is unimportant as long as there are conspiracy theories. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif Which are more fun.

Re: OT: Cyber Nation
 

Santiago you have a very suspicious mind. Perhaps you should start writing fiction books. Produce a video "The Truth Behind WP's Bad Luck" and post it on youtube. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: OT: Cyber Nation
 

Look here Santiago, if it weren't for us coming and paying these guys reparations, alot of you would be living in peace mode. Just talk to Combat Wombat, from what I hear he had a little scuffle with someone in Wolfpack leadership, who is Steven37. We paid 4 million out of our own pockets to save these Wombat Protectorate members, and we are being scolded for our kindness?

Re: OT: Cyber Nation
 

*sigh* It's a game, and as I've said and capnq has said before people seem to be letting their egos get a little too attached to it.

Re: OT: Cyber Nation
 

No offense, but I would guess that most of the players in the Wombat Protectorate wouldn't care much if Wolfpack had begun attacking. It would make things interesting for a few days, and then game over, move on to other things. All the players that have a real interest in the game would have since left for other alliances where the game is taken a bit more seriously.

You are not really being scolded for your kindness. "Trolling" probably is a bit of a harsh term to use for AT's recruitment. I think "fishing" goes a little better. I wish you the best for your alliance. I won't be joining, simply because I don't care that much.

CN was a nice little 10-minute diversion for a few months, but I'm not about to invest any extra time or effort into a game that pales in comparison to the depth of the games I normally play. And especially not to get involved in what seems to be a very infantile "political" system.

Anyway, again, good luck with the OCS thing.
