I'd be down to set something up for this. Is Cornerstone interested?

Dunno if you've said anything about this yet, but what would you like to see out of the game in the next six months?

This is basically the only reason why I didn't vote myself lmao

Here's my take on this. 1. I don't care if IQ is on the forums or not and I don't care who's complaining about who; at this point, I'm basically a third party. 2. Everyone is at fault here, so anyone who points fingers should turn those fingers towards themselves. 3. IQ was a good move at the time; anyone who criticizes its formation was just threatened by its potential. 4. Despite their potential, IQ fell flat on its face and nowadays in an IQ-EMC world the game is even less attractive to play. With that in mind, in hopes of actually creating some dialogue between the sides, to both of you: 1. What is preventing you from making dynamic moves? 2. Would you move to take advantage of the other sphere if they attempted to do something dynamic? 3. What do you desire, and what are you afraid of? From this I expect a lot of "Why should we tell you" or "Why should we let the other side know" or "I'm going to give you a lie or half-assed joke to avoid the question", but frankly we all know that that's exactly the kind of mindset that created this stagnation in the first place.

Well, I would've chosen someone else if you all didn't take the good ones first Would've put Cuzzelle but Purplemoon just goes on way more missions so why not.

imo you'd be so much better off changing alliances entirely, or just starting your own alliance

I cast my vote for Willem Bos :^) Gonna say Purplemoon though, as much as I don't want it to happen

I like Durmstrang, and I like Rose. Got friends in both. But seriously, with all this talk of too many treaties and stuff, does Rose really need a 14th treaty agreement?

Yes, the problem is that no one is even willing to be the first step in the sequence. Including all of you that are complaining in the first place. Interesting you try to call out TKR when your leader specifically told me it wasn't on you to start the next war. How many less do you need that you finally realize you should do something about it? How about you take some of your Mensa buddies and I'll take some of my TEst buddies and we'll create the loudest, most annoying alliance ever (This is a serious offer) Well tell me, how has an EMC-IQ world been better or even as good as a Syndisphere-Paracov world?

Nvm, misread your statement as "every alliance upper-gov were replaced with people who have no experience with politics" >.> I would like to see above statement happen though

All good points. Mind leading by example? Alex is 5% of the problem. It would be so much easier to just change your own alliance culture and get rid of the old guard that are incapable of letting go of the past. That's an...interesting definition of "making fun" >.>

OK, let's see how many people I can piss off by saying this. Holy shit, this is the biggest, worst circlejerk I've seen on forums in a long long time. I seriously haven't seen such a lack of originality in the range of comments before, and this thread should have died two pages ago. To those of you defending the name change: 1. Stop being salty, and 2. Why do you feel such a need to defend it? To these of you bashing the Lord name change: 1. Stop being salty, and 2. Why do you care? Do you crave the internet upvotes that much?

Here's how Bernie Sanders [New Alliance] can still win! I just committed, donated my entire life savings and my gran's kidney replacement funds, MATCH ME! (Seriously though I'll be the first to commit to this, as long as the other 19+ members aren't total knobs. I've always preferred excitement over realpolitik, so this is as good as it gets.)

Hmmmmmmmmmm

Say it with me: quality over quantity. With this alliance primarily being ex-OWR, I have high hopes that you'll offer far more to Orbis than OWR has. Good luck.

Oh gosh, this can't go well.

Don't be such an elitist; why do you think you have the authority to judge the personalities of everyone else? 99% percent of the game does nothing except follow orders, and they can't even do that correctly a lot of the time. Does that mean they can be called braindead and garbage? If you want to kick them all from the game, go ahead. I look forward to seeing this game become even more of a dick measuring contest than it already is, where people will be even more afraid of going to war because they have no one left to back them up. There are people who have lives outside this game. Some are in the military, some have jobs and kids they need to support. Plenty have probably accomplished way more than you in real life, so why do you feel the need to go to such lengths to mock them in-game? If that's seriously how you feel about people you consider to be "under" you, then you're the self-absorbed one, not them. Plus, everyone is petty in this game; you're being petty just by ranting so much about people you consider insignificant. Lots of people (I'd say the majority) play this game for the community, including me, and I can understand why they don't want to be bothered by all the trash that comes out of the OWF every day. Just because they don't pursue what you pursue doesn't mean that you get to look down on them for being different. OK, that middle paragraph is just sick, and a bit sadistic too. Let's try turning around your bullet points on you, shall we? You were born into a meaningless universe that doesn't give a shit what happens to you in your lifetime and once you die. You will almost certainly never be a billionaire or even a millionaire, and you will never be able to impact the lives of many. Besides your immediate family and friends, no one will remember your name when you die, and you will have contributed close to nothing towards the progress of human society. You might rant on Facebook, rant on the OWF, maybe attend a few rallies, maybe even be a good citizen and vote. Your individual vote will never matter. Stalin said it best - "A single death is a tragedy; a million deaths is a statistic." Any remotely large organization will consider you a statistic that can be used for their personal gain. Nothing more. The world could leave you for dust, and nothing would change. For someone who claims to care so much about the long term, you really seem focused on shaping everyone around yourself. Have fun crying about your fears in the real world. Doesn't that sound just wrong to you? If it doesn't I don't know what does. In my opinion, there are two important groups of people to criticize. People who others would not normally dare criticize, but most importantly, people with the potential to do something great. First group is kind of obvious. People have idols they look up to, and in a lot of cases they will avoid seeing their flaws; this is why a lot of people tell you never to meet your idols. Criticizing your idols means you will learn to accept that all humans are imperfect, and that you have a lot to develop yourself if you want to be a better person. It also means you don't get triggered as much, which is always a plus. With the second group, your goal is to turn people with potential into doers and fighters. If you want to be successful, you have to accept criticism and have the intrinsic motivation to do whatever it takes to accomplish your goal. Furthermore, this means you have to lead by example. If you want to change Orbis, start with yourself, then those around you. And let me tell you, almost everyone has potential. So what exactly do you think you can accomplish by mocking them and seeking to destroy them?

Why the hell is there so much snarkiness on a Lordaeron name change page? I have never seen downvotes on so many posts in a thread from so many triggered people Seriously though, keep at all of what you're doing and you'll somehow become worse than Kastor at maintaining Lordaeron's reputation lol.

Why? Are you slowly trying to hide Kastor's legacy or something?

Uh huh, what I'm trying to say is that there's not much you can really do about it and posting a forum topic complaining about it and trying to shame people is pretty pointless.

No one thinks about that when trading From experience the people who post annoying offers are in a rush or just plain dumb lol. As a trader, the only thing I focused on was keeping the buy price and sell price as far away from each other as possible. And if the market prices change, then meh, I just go with it and not much really changes. Oh god, considering the amount of naval attacks I get against me, I feel empathy for whoever has all their trade offers cancelled by a blockade every day

I used to trade basically every kind of resource, and I only produced maybe three resources in total There are people on the market that buy and sell the same kind of resource purely for profit, and that's fine. There are also raiders who loot resources that they then sell, and that's fine too

I don't know how, but the forum is somehow still managing to degenerate by the day
