I Have Decided (About the invading Pyth ordeal. OOC)

OK, everyone, after some consideration, I have simply decided to ignore this whole ordeal. I lnow most of you wil lhate me for it, and I know you'll most likely never let me live it down, but I cannot just stand by and let you all dogpile me into absolute nothingness.

Now, I know someone wil lsay, "but it can be fun to lose!".

Guess what. I agree. On a small scale. Sure, fun to lose one battle. Very fun. But to lose a whole war against dogpiling?

Na-da. I no think so.

And some will say "it's an honor to RP with Kraven!".

Guess what. I agree! But not ain a situatio nwhere I will merely get dogpile-annihilated!

I mean ABSOLUTELY no offense to anyone involved. Please remember that.

yes, because your designing an entirely new missile warhead and refitting it across your entire military (which, by the way, would be a factory job) isn't a godmod!

also I have all the non-FT nations in GAPTs about to jump down my neck, and after them AMF at some point, but you don't see me whining

I find it ironic that you're more than willing to jump into a fight when you think you can win, yet when there's a DOUBT that you'll win (Remember, like 4 people have pledged to help you), you 'ignore' the fight.

That's real classy of you. Shows a -lot- of scruples.

OOC: So true. When you act like a jackass and make enemies, people are going to come after you. You can't 'ignore' them. It's such a sad thing that II coddles to classless children, by not forcing people to have to actually face consequences for their actions.

Gee, I'm going to be just like Pyth from now on. I'm going to fight with nations smaller and newer than myself and blatantly act like a 'tard. But if anyone stronger than myself shows up, I'll ignore them! Woowoo!

You never tried to attack them except with SAMs. Kahanistan did better than that, and he had Soviet-era junk-- instead of complaining he used a creative solution that worked and downed quite a few of my airships.

Give it a chance. Fight a war that you could possible lose. Remember that this is in your own country; you have the advantage. Stop whining and RP.

Like I said, I'm fine with losing on a small scale. But on a war on my soil, I will not simply allow myself do be dogpile-rampled.

And if you're going after anyone for lack of RPing ability, please go after someone deserving. Like the starters of "I N00KZORZ U ALL" threads.

I'm here to RP, not write books. I try to add length to my posts, but I just don't see how I could. I mean, it's like "The MBTs fired their 120mm ETCs across the river at enemy tanks". That's really all I need to say.

Classless is not a 'name'. It's a statement of fact. You have a lot of rhetoric to spill about 'losing', yet when there's the POSSIBILITY that you could lose, you back out. Do you play Nintendo only with cheat codes set to invulnerability mode?

Let me quote something that I find EXTREMELY ironic right now:

Note, at this point it was about 6 versus 1 against Leocardia at this point. Leocardia continued to fight on, despite having absolutely no hope of winning.

Now, with 3 or 4 people pledging help to Pythogria in a fight against a 3-person alliance, he screams about being 'outnumbered' and declares that he 'ignores' the whole thing.

He was rudely interrupted from his reverie by Lieutenant Roger Smith, who yelled across the interior of the tank, "Enemy artillery is attacking us from co-ordinates XX.XXX.XXX, orders sir?"

My two cents- if its worth anything. Your free to choose to run your nation anyway you darn well please Pythogria- however in real life you could not avoid/ignore a dog-piled as you so elegantly put it. If these nations are determined to invade you and your game for the war. Then are lots of options open to you to use besides the shit, I'm ignoring this.

1. You have the war, size is not going to determine who wins. Will is and so is RP ability. Gather some allies- fight a defensive war.
2. Find a diplomatic way out- offer a trade agreement or something.
3. USE the MAD. ie- if you have WMD- threaten to use them if their invasion force does not back down. While this is the end might ruining the RP, in real life it would ruin the world- so the similarities are quite good.

Their are lots of options open to you to use besides the ignore cannon. However, if you choose to ignore thats your right- but if your ignoring because of silly reasons, then other nations are less likely to RP with you in the future. And nations do lose wars- even on massive scales. Germany World War 1- it rose again to fight and start the second world war. So, even if your nation is militarly defeated its not the end of your nation. Something to keep in mind.

I recall, the guy who got dogpiled protested. Pyth ignored his protest and glibly proclaimed "The more the merrier!" What he should have written was, "The more the merrier, unless it means I don't out-number my enemy by 6 to 1, then it's a dogpile!"

Even if your main nation gets destroyed, you can easily emerge from the rubble even more powerful than before.

I bring you the shining example of The Kraven Corporation.

The guy got conquered by freaking AMF, for pete's sake. Now he's the biggest threat to II since GODAD.

GODAD? Oh... them... Yeah...

But I still think that I will need to agree to said arrangement.

I believe I shall try to inject some reason into this thread, if I may.

For one people, try to remain calm. You do little good yelling at him. Two, Pyth, you need to realize that dogpiles happen (this was not a dogpile), and you have to live with them. It sucks to lose, it sucks to be hated, it sucks to have enemies, but we all live with it and try to tell a good story and move one. Ignoring this attack is quite foolish on your part, and ruins your already bad reputation.

I recommend you take your lumps, run your posts through MS word (You've some grammar and spelling issues), and worry less about winning and more about telling a story other readers will enjoy.

So. No 'insult' here or anything..

But when you were a kid, (I imagine you still are a kid. But lets say younger than you are now) did you run around picking fights with smaller, weaker children, begging your friends for help in a fight you were already winning?

(You literally begged what's-his-face for help, despite out-numbering Lec 5 to 1 at that point.)

So, going back to those younger years. When that smaller, weaker kid you were beating up, when that kid called his big brother over to help.. did you run home to daddy? Did you lock yourself in your house and 'ignore' him? Or did you take your licks like a man?

Pretty sure I know the answer already.

I'm here to RP, not write books. I try to add length to my posts, but I just don't see how I could. I mean, it's like "The MBTs fired their 120mm ETCs across the river at enemy tanks". That's really all I need to say.

To use your own example: like, um, this?

'Six-three-three! Six-three-three, do you copy? Damn it!' Captain Koenig hit the control panel in front of him, 'HQ, HQ, this is Foxtrot-Golf Two-Seven, lost contact with unit Six-three-three, enemy tangos on the other side of the river advancing on our location now, please advise!'

The tank shuddered beneath him as another shell landed nearby, the driver bringing the machine lurching to a halt on the edge of the ford as Koenig's earpiece crackled into life, 'HQ to Foxtrot-Golf Two-Seven, clear to engage enemy tangos at your discretion, reinforcements are heading to your position now. Hold your position until they arrive.'

Koenig scowled, rubbing his hand against the patch over his left eye, 'Ten-four, HQ, and tell those reinforcements to hurry the fuck up, I don't know how long I can hold this position.'

The indistinct shapes of his opponents were barely visible on the other side of the river in the growing darkness; all he could make out with the periscope were dark, angular forms moving near the treeline. There were dull flashes as they sent another volley of shells screaming towards his unit, throwing up pillars of dirt as the turret of Koenig's Hellion Tank tracked around and the machine started to move forward again. Inside, Koenig glanced down, 'Willard, do you have their location yet?'

The young woman in the gunner's seat looked up at him, the internal lights glinting off her glasses, 'Sir, count seven tangos on IR, ready to fire on your order.'

Koenig nodded, barely noticing the familar hum of the ETC gun's capacitor bank building in volume, 'Target the lead and fire!'

The tank shook as the cannon fired, the other four tanks in Koenig's platoon following suit. Koenig quickly crossed himself, hoping his reinforcements would get to them in time.

I have mixed feelings about this. In a way, I understand where Pythogria is coming from. I see a lot of dogpiling on NS, and a lot of mismatches with a large nation against a puny one, and I understand him not wanting to get his country bombed.

OTOH, I think ignoring a war is something of a cheat (excluding n00bwars or godmodding), and if you're really playing, you're voluntarily taking the risk of a hopeless war.

Krieg, thats not the point

The point is, he has often invaded smaller nations, is on the records pleading for help whilist outnumbering a nation 5-1, and when finally someone actually makes an attack upon him, he ignores it. While yes, it is his decison, he is in turn sabotaging his own future, IMO.

Well that's dreadfully cheap of him, and if he's like that: don't RP with him. And simply inform the newer nations if he's being like that, so they can ignore him.

OOC: Good Lord Pythogria. First you lose to the Corporation and it's slave-states and you don't want to role-play your nation getting Kravenized or at least partially Kravenized, then you ignore it. You lost there due to a lack of tactics and prose, which to an extent, Kahanistan did as well to AMF and the Consortium.

Now you get counter-dog-piled and you ignore it yet again? This IS dreadfully cheap, no wait, that's a bloody understatement Kriegorgrad. Grow some spine man, role-playing is about TELLING A STORY, IT IS NOT ABOUT WINNING.

Unbelievable. You're going to take a long time recovering from this blow Pythogria, even worse than what Allanea landed in when he was a n00b and declared war on Automagfreek, Pantera and Melkor Unchained, a few of the most tier and best players on NS.

GET SOME SPINE, TACTICS AND PROSE, AND DEAL WITH DOG-PILING, LIKE IT OR NOT.

Then again, my own war with JC was never finished due to OOC reasons and I was somewhat of a newb to role-playing back then, but I researched into the past of NS and analyzed my own actions and learned. Doesn't mean I'm a hypocrite and don't know how to role-play a war....

Okay, guys. Lay off him. Like Kriegorgrad said, it is his right. Now, I was the one who reminded him about his right to ignore this whole thing, but I also warned him of the consequences. Apparently he decided to go through with that, anyway.

However, I can deal with a loss. I've done it before. But, I can sympathize with Pyth here, since it is his homeland at stake. I dunno about him or you guys, but I spent a while planning out my homeland and put alot of effort into my maps, descriptions, and other things about it. I wouldn't want to see that flushed down the drain by a few nations who didn't even ask if he was okay with it. (to my knowledge, anyway) Personally every good RP should be agreed to to an extent beforehand, especially if that much is at stake.

Just my opinion, though.

Also, whoever said Kraven managed to rise from the ashes...
Kraven is also an unconventional force with cells in many nations worldwide. Now, having the ability to take that invasion of his homeland OOCly gives me great respect for him, and he is probably the best RPer this side of II. He has grace, because he can take a loss and not be affected by it at all thanks to the structure of his military. So really you can't compare him and Pyth. Just doesn't work.

Well, no. There's several things that can happen, based on what type of war it was and how badly you lost it.

For example, if you were to invade someone, and be driven out, but they didn't invade you in turn, you can go on pretty much as you did before.

If they do invade you, and you lose, you can always RP resistance, guerilla warfare, etc.

If they glass your country, you can still have the millitary forces that weren't at home go after them.

Etc.
