I'm not very surprised to see so many WAEgis/League nations represented here.
I read through the pages of this topic beginning with the start of "GWIII," known in my alliance as the Great Tech Raid of '07, and I have to say, the reason WAEgis lost is quite apparent to anyone with a clear eye:
Wait, Legion was part of it and lost? Thank god, I was in the Legion right before the war broke out, when I got the message to prepare for war, I fled like a coward, yay for me. I'm weak anyway, wouldn't have accomplished anything.
Being in an alliance is why I got destroyed the first time anyway, and no one helped me afterwards
Anyone who is not in an alliance capable of defending it'self (at least somewhat) is pretty muc hfair game for the tech raiding bandit scum of \m/ and any other TI + friends alliance that decides to go a raiding
ALLIANCES CAN'T BE TRUSTED
And alliances are supposed to protect us from wars...
What better way to sum up your loss than with those posts? You know, I was on IRC the night Legion invaded FAN. Sure, later they claimed FAN had started the war by attacking them, and everyone in WAEgis believed them, but I was there, and I know who started the war.
A little background: The majority of the Federation of Armed Nations are ex- or current military; most of us are adults, all of us are over 18. Before the war our total NS was just over 5 million. When Legion attacked us their total NS was hovering in the +9 million range. They attacked us and TOP with the NAAC. Now with those overwhelming odds, FAN and TOP should've gone down. But instead they realized the same thing anyone with a brain had already known: To attack a well-knit, tight group of people who communicate well is suicide, regardless of how big you are.
Legion learned that. FAN is hovering around the 5 million mark again, while Legion is now half our size. To show everyone just how evil the Initiative alliances, and FAN in particular, are we've already fought along side numerous Legion nations to fend of rogue raiders.
This war has proven who the true "evil" were in the cyberverse, /b/, and they're gone. LUE is gone. NAAC is gone. Legion survived by their size alone, as their warring left much to be desired. I just ZI'd my 3rd NAAC guy today, and I'm working on ZIing my second Legion who went "rogue" rather than keep his nukes in their silos. The WAEgis "rogue" nukers was well into the double digits, while the Initiative was forced to excommunicate few of our own.
Cliff notes of the wall o' text: Those who complain and do nothing to change the facts are doomed to fail at life, and CN. Those posts I highlighted are indicative of the reasons why WAEgis lost, and will ALWAYS lost. With that mindset you wonder why "TI" (though what Texas Instruments or a rapper has to do with CN, I'll never know) is the dominant force in CN. Don't rely on any alliance to protect you. I chose mine after careful consideration. You NEVER ask what an alliance can do for you; you do for the alliance. Those who offer lucrative starting aid are those to be avoided, as there's a reason they are bribing you.
Anyway, stop the complaining, rebuild your nations, choose your friends better, and stop thinking the Initiative is out to kill you all and steal your girlfriends. The girlfriend part is true, but the rest is all so much claptrap.
