Spooner Posted July 4, 2016 Share Posted July 4, 2016 Well, the entire appeal of the GPA is that we're neutral, so the people who came to the GPA for that reason would just leave and start their own alliance most likely. The new, aggressive "GPA" would be GPA-in-name-only. Plenty of alliances offer neutrality. The appeal of GPA is that you're available, not that you're neutral.

George Clooney Posted July 4, 2016 Share Posted July 4, 2016 Says one of the few butthurt who had no idea Mensa was talking about rolling GPA for months openly Hint: it wasn't the best keep secret on Orbis. The "sneaky" part was the timing. Please try to keep up. "Sneak Attack" I like this. Mensa leadership: "We are going to roll GPA" Mensa Members: "We are going to roll GPA" Mensa: Remains militarized ... Rolls GPA in a "sneak attack" /////////// Are you slow or something? I am being mostly serious in this question. You really aren't prepared to match wits with me, son.

Popular Post Prefontaine Posted July 4, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted July 4, 2016 Why do people insist that the only true way to play this game is to be fighting all the time? The game is about politics and war. You go to war when politics necessitate it. I am pretty confident in saying that our politics definitely did not necessitate this war, so it's ultimately pointless, and it makes no sense to praise Mensa for "playing the game as it's meant to be played" by fighting us as I expect will be done in short order. We were happy to just sit around building up our nations. That's why we exist. We are the players of this game, of equal stature to everyone else, who just want to build. Why not let us? Leave us be, you guys can do your thing while we do ours. Warring is fun for most players, those who are in non-neutral alliances, who open themselves up to the possibility of war. But why insist that the players who joined an alliance and abide by strict neutrality, specifically for the purpose of avoiding war, also go to war? We became neutrals because we want to not go to war, so why ruin our fun? What did we ever do to you? We're not pacifists of course, but we only fight defensively, so we may as well be. Anyways, I know this will get misinterpreted to hell and back and the train will keep on chugging along to page 50 or whatever. I just want to say it for the record, this war is utterly pointless and accomplishes nothing in the end but to bring our and Mensa's score down, there are no politics at play here. And I lifted my self-imposed gag order. Mensa is simply playing the game how they want to. You cannot complain about people not letting you play how you want to play if you don't allow for Mensa to play how they want to play. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Harrison Richardson Posted July 4, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted July 4, 2016 (edited) So what if it's July 4th? Most of our members are also celebrating. We shouldn't feel bad for routinely being more well organized. Or insane. In my case, insane. I stopped my girlfriend mid-argument so that I could log in and make my hits at 23:30 game time. She was not impressed. But I was texted with my targets, damn it, and I'm a loyal Dioist soldier. Edited July 4, 2016 by Harrison Richardson 18 Quote ☾☆ And Dio said unto him, "I trust you.

EliteCanada Posted July 4, 2016 Share Posted July 4, 2016 (edited) That's a bit hypocritical considering GPA doesn't engage in politics, but feels like other people need a political reason for a war to be justified. Similarly to the fact that you're playing the game you like to, Mensa is doing the same. It's a little bit hypocritical to say, "we're hitting GPA because that's how we want to play the game" while denying GPA the opportunity to play the game as they like (as a nation building simulator). Edit: P.S. I wonder what all this scape-goating/band-wagon hating on GPA even though they really haven't done anything objectively wrong reminds me of. For real the circle-jerking when it comes to anti-neutrality and anti-GPA is kind've absurd and mostly sad. Yea yea blah blah blah they're !@#$ for being neutral and I must be a !@#$ for supporting that style of game play, something something about should be playing farmville instead.

Spite Posted July 4, 2016 Share Posted July 4, 2016 Mensa is like a Wolf, and GPA is like a sheep. It's a big defenceless herbivore incapable of fighting back and we're a carnivore. Given the opportunity we will always attack. 1 Quote ☾☆ Priest of Dio just because the Nazis did something doesn't mean it's automatically wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chunky Monkey Posted July 4, 2016 Share Posted July 4, 2016 This game is called Politics and War, not Spreadsheets and Shitposting. GPA can play how they want, but they can't expect PvP to be turned off only for them.

Crust Posted July 4, 2016 Share Posted July 4, 2016 (edited) There's nothing inherently wrong with playing neutral or refraining from actively waring. It's however a dumb idea to run a neutral alliance and think you then must be passive in the political sphere. If you dont want protect yourself with violence, you have to protect yourself with politics. Anything else is willfully ignorant and harmful towards your membership Edited July 4, 2016 by Satisfriend 3 Quote It's my birthday today, and I'm 33!

Slimer Posted July 4, 2016 Share Posted July 4, 2016 I just see a bunch of people launching a sneak attack on another bunch of people during a time period where many of the people in the target alliance are away from their computers celebrating a holiday. But if GPA was planning to use economics as a weapon, they wouldn't even be the first alliance to do so. Have fun I suppose. That's very US-centric of you. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Qum Posted July 4, 2016 Share Posted July 4, 2016 well looks like this war just went out of hand, GPA you should not have hit Arrgh or Roz Wei. Just a note, remember the "St. Patrick's Massacre", I think this will be number two but it is not on St. Patrick's day and the alliance that is attacking you is kind of different. Never the less good luck to both sides! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
