    Old FA vs Current FA

    in Orbis Central

    Posted · Edited by Jodo

    Well, as much as Kylo and Pre would love to derail this and make it about me (And goddamn do I love me) and my exit from TEst, its not really the point I was making. Plus it was by all rights a long time ago and I honestly would rather not go into it, because doing so would simply be me and Pinchy shitting on each other. Frankly, I don't want to do that. 

     

    Besides, the actual TEst peeps know where I live. If I was such as big of a shitlord as Pre has stated, you guys would have burnt my house down already.

    Old FA vs Current FA

    in Orbis Central

    Posted

    AKA: What the eff happened to Orbis?

     

    With the current war going on, and the paperless alliances getting a much deserved rolling for their antics, I've seen various discussions on various forms of diplomacy and FA work. Apparently some people on the other "side" have said they would quit if the politics and spheres of the game didn't undergo a significant change. I'd like to take a minute and tell you why that line of thought is the dumbest shit ever.

     

    So prepare your minds for some old cat shitposting stemming from 10 years of doing this shit, gov positions, and FA work. Or don't. I'm not your dad.

     

    "The current spheres are killing the game!"

    douh7U1.gif

     

    I'm gonna put you on pause right there. No, the current spheres are not killing the game. The inability of any opposing faction to coherently put together a FA plan and court like minded alliances is whats killing the game for them. Think about it. BK and friends are not responsible for making the game fun for anyone else other than for its own membership. Thats where our responsibilities end, and theirs begins. It is entirely possible to form a second, third, or even fourth sphere if people put down their pitchforks long enough to gather new members to their cause. But they don't because laziness is the current status quo. Look at the last year of wars. Its the same faces, same sides, only different reasons. Long gone are the days of 'One and done' wars where differences were settled and put aside after a war. Major issues that used to be solved by creative diplomacy and compromise are given a token attempt with no real effort by many of the alliances today. Ironically, they are also the first to point to us and say we are bullies that have no concept of diplomacy. 

     

    "We're and elite alliance. We only recruit large nations!"

    Remember the laziness I spoke about? Here it is. You see, it might be nice to swagger around with high tier nations and roll the occasional alliance due to boredom (Sup TEst) but that doesn't change the fact you are effing lazy. You see, when you circle jerk with only older nations you limit your numbers, and numbers translate directly into FA power. You can't negotiate very much if you have 5 people vs 200. You limit new blood and ideas. That 2 city nation that just joined the game and wants to learn? That might be a future alliance leader. Shit, that dude in a year could be your new goddamn boss if he's smart and learns. But you don't give them a chance, and so they move on to somewhere that will teach them and give them a chance to show what they are made of. Sound familiar? Welcome to BK. Elitism is like playing with a handicap in a game like this. All the possible talent that comes to Orbis can't join you, and instead goes elsewhere. Why? Because you are too lazy to teach people. You are too worried about your next city purchase to pump a newer nation that could buy 4 cities with a day of your income. Elitism isn't something to be proud of. Its a death sentence.

     

    "Paperless is the way of the future!"

    mU99KZs.gif

     

    I'm gonna say a random phrase. Go ahead and shout the first thing that comes to mind. Aggressive Neutrals. If you shouted "Thats retarded." congrats. You have been paying attention. You see, paperless doesn't work. You do yourself exactly zero favors by doing this to yourselves. All paperless does for you is make you a wild card, and constant threat to alliances that would otherwise just ignore you or even possibly be friends. If people have to be always on their guard and devote resources to trying to figure out what a bunch of randoms are going to do every single time Orbis does literally anything, they will start to assume you are a constant threat. Hell, that might not even be your intention. But if theres no trust, it will eventually turn to aggression. Thats not even the worst issue you have made for yourselves. You see, others decided that it was a good idea and followed that example. So now there is multiple alliances all running around waving the same 'paperless' flag, hitting the same targets, and jerking each other off. Listen, if you are all dancing to the same tune, the lack of paper doesn't matter. You are still allied. You can't have it both ways.

     

    "I'm quitting if things don't change!"

    First, you are beyond a doubt a coward. Well, a lazy coward. Pixel hugging lazy coward? Ah eff it, you know where I was going. See, here's the thing... do something. The "Syndisphere" or whatever you call us now isn't entirely to blame here. We can't force you to make another sphere. We can't make you figure out the faults in the strategies of what you are doing. We get it, you want a unique alliance and way of doing things. Thats great! It honestly is. So work at it. We want you to, really. Nothing would make a lot of us happier than to see 4 or more spheres in the game, and some real goddamn diplo work between them. But you just wont do it because you are lazy or have forgotten how. Many of you guys come from other games and have many years of history. Don't sit back and rely on it. Use that experience to go forward and adapt. All quitting will do is leave your friends behind, and tarnish that history you are so proud of. Go out, recruit people. Do some FA work and gather up a few allies. Negotiate a NAP, or defense treaty. Grow. It takes time and constant attention. It's not easy. But if you pick up even half of what I'm putting down in this post, it will be much easier.

     

    tl;dr Stop being lazy. Adapt and overcome. We honestly want you to.

    You mean once? I know one is a very big number for you and all. But the salt you carry around against the alliance that threw you out for inept leadership and then began to thrive without you is going to lead to a heart attack. Definitely all those times. Definitely bruh. Not to mention you could have responded but just chose not too for various reasons I shall keep secret. But yeah man, keep harboring that grudge against TEst, it's quite funny, we feel a mixture of pity and general laughter towards you.

    Wew lad.

     

    I'm not sure what's funnier, the message your spreading or the fact it can very easily be proven wrong.

     

    The salt I have for TEst is entirely based on its recent actions towards allies and friends. That's it. But if you really want to go OOC with this, just let me know.

     

    You do realize I drink and game nightly with several of the original test crew right? And they were there when things went belly up?

    Get the !@#$ over yourself Trump. Looks like someone is all in a twist, I think you're all in an uproar because you put your thong on backwards this morning....it's suppose to lift and separate the back....not the front. Remember, the little pink bow goes in the front!

    Petition to rename the thread Tears of Jerry. All in favor?

    They thought they were in initial blitz. Now that things got easier, they can stop pretending to be religious.

    Hey, remember all those times you smashed alliances while all their allies were involved in a world war and they couldn't afford to respond?

     

    Hitting easy targets is just... so not fair huh.

    He forgot that when he forgot his morals. Jodo I love you man and I'm quite sad to hear you talk shit about us, but there you go.

    Talking shit, laughing, and hitting people used to be flavor of the day. 2 out of 3 ain't bad.

    Good thing the opinions of cowards are meaningless to me. Hahahah, a-dorable.

    Hasn't it been about a year and a half since you guys fought in a war you were more likely to lose? Or are you still counting the randoms you hit while everyone else is busy?

     

    Gratz on "improving" the spy changes by the way.
