I miss the Patriots and you'll live forever in my heart.

Hey guys, lost my old account to the sands of time, it's me Devil Wolf/Alistair Dante. I was one of the core AI mods on r/metalgearpatriots from pretty near day 1. I was here when MGO3 first launched day 1 and fought alongside all of you patriot brothers in the goal of a world free of the threat of attack and retaliation.

I want to get sappy with you all.

Patriots, comrades, brothers, soldiers, allies, enemies, targets, philanthropists, those who followed their ideals... Thank you for your service and everything you did to further the cause. Looking back now I almost honestly want to cry, as this was one of the biggest things I was involved in at the time and I treated it like the actual ongoing battle it was. We were always outnumbered and yet, we continued the fight for a world where every soldier had a duty and purpose. While I am sad the outcome was never truly reached for either side with honest effort, the final verdict I just recently found out was decided for us.

I want both sides to know, it was a valiant struggle, and one I hope to share with some of you, friend or foe, once again. I give my life, not for honor, but for all you. The supporters, the soldiers, the naysayers, and the fellow leaders on either side.

Thank you again.

Sidenote: I recently switched from Xone to PS4, and am still active on mgo3 today! Add me on psn as AlistairDante and maybe, just maybe, we can find purpose again.

YOU ARE ALL DIAMOND DOGS

It's been a long time. When I originally joined this sub I never thought I'd had one of the most interesting experiences of my life, meet who would become a best friend, and even be featured in a podcast to TALK about the sub.

​

Life has been insane. Lost my reddit account, stopped playing video games cause of stupid family drama, ditched family drama, made a new reddit account, started gaming again, joined the navy, got my dream job, moving over seas, and started writing a book.

​

But every once in a while I think about this sub and the amazing fun it was meeting super cool dudes and working with u/waddersquirell. I really want to play again but god damn is Demon Snake one ugly mug. Maybe I'll just start the game from scratch all over again?

​

Is MGO still good? Who knows, maybe I'll check it out. Been a while since my solid silver grenade chucking avatar has seen the light.

​

Anyway, I still think about all you guys from time to time. You all rock. Nuclear disarmament has still not happened. Keep building those nukes you beautiful sons of bitches.

​

Signed,

​

Totally not Coolsey.

I haven't played Metal Gear since Solid on PlayStation it was my fav as a kid, but I passed on 2-4. Saw gameplay on 5 and bought it. Holy Crap Boss it is so much damn fun. How did I miss this beautiful piece of art.

and Philanthropy still hasn't disarmed the nukes. Good job! Sometimes doing nothing pays off. haha.

any idea what happend here? no log, no intruder, just gone!

War has changed. These days, the battlefield is empty. The reason? Well, we don't know for sure. It might be Konami manipulating the nuke tab / nuke amount, it might be someone (or something?) else, but it doesn't really matter now. The point is: even if we wanted, there's no way to fight each other. It doesn't matter where you belong (patriots, anti-nuclear, philantrophy, NBGO, etc), war is still a phantom. Given the situation, a question comes to my mind: who's the enemy? Anti-nuclear? NBGO? No, I don't think so. I came to a conclusion: like it or not, we are all part of the same coin. But not in the way you think. We are on the same side of it. Our "war" is just a part of a bigger picture. We are not given the possibility to fight. I'm not one of yours. But i'm not the enemy. These days, we have a common enemy. I don't know for sure who it is, but I know how fight it: Diplomacy. The only way we have to fight this war is to post-pone it. I'm here to open your eyes. Please Mods, don't remove this post. We need this kind of discussion. I know it might sound crazy to you, but as of now PEACE IS WAR. We gotta collaborate. We must fight our common enemy, and defeat him through peace. He/it doesn't want us to achieve it, that's way we gotta do it. In this context, the nuclear war has no significance. Motivations are not relevant, until we fight. Together. I know you're against peace, but there's no other choice. Let the Patriots be the Patriots. You cannot be controlled. Think about it....

What happened, what did I I miss, and where are my old war buddies at? Cooley, Frinchm0n, yall still around?

Can't Hug a newborn with Nuclear Arms, but you can protect him with them . . . I miss my other family back on the FOB, I wonder if they are still searching for me . . . . Or maybe Miller Burned it down from Insanity. I might need to visit them and let them know they were played . . . Like a fiddle, for old times sake.

Also, the Reason I Had to Leave the war:

Born May 21st, here he is at 3 Months old ( https://imgur.com/a/1xVzO ) just Turned 4 Months a few days ago My little Gabriel.

You can find me playing Ark Survival evolved now, I run a server on it.

Server GT: ServerHasNoName if anyone was interested.

We've already got some plans locked down but wanted to see what some of the members that still stop by think.

All right, i'll just state this off the bat. I'm a Philanthropist. I only have one problem with you patriots. The hackers. I can sorta understand your side and that you make more fun by creating a force to Philanthropists to fight, but hackers just sorta ruin it as it just makes it completely unfair as there's no way for the battles between the two to be satisfying, the progress the Phils do is instantly wiped out, and tension for the Patriots to fight back is non-existant considering 50 nukes can be easily done with a trainer. Do any of you agree with me here?

In preparation for the upcoming Season 2, I have begun work on revamping the subreddit and preparing it for it's second premiere.

• Mobile header and logo added

• Desktop header updated

is this still active? Or is there another, better proliferation group

It's almost been a year since this sub has started and it seems like a few groups have sprouted up from what's left of philanthropy. Is there any interest in revitalizing the cause? Would love to know what everyone thinks if we got back into some low key patriot shennanigans

Hey there,

I'd like to extend an invitation to join our NBGO Peace Day celebrations, a day dedicated to the pursuit of Peace.

More info can be found here: https://www.reddit.com/r/NeverBeGameOver/comments/4xvv9n/nbgo_peace_day/

I hope to see some of you join us!

So I read the "most important thread on this sub" detailing why you guys exist and what your goal is.

What I boiled it down to was this:

• You don't want anyone "telling you how to play your game."

My response: This is basically a childish opposition to authority equating to "NO! I don't wanna do what YOU say. I'm gonna do the opposite just because I CAN." You are acting like "playing the game" means opening your resource tab and pressing A/X and either making nukes or not making nukes (i.e. "not playing")...overly dramatic if you ask me.

• "If my game allows me to build nukes online, I'm going to do just that."

My response: what in the actual fuck does nuke building get you? Objective answer: PF points and that's it. Nukes are entirely pointless unless you are actively trying to gain numbers/statistics in a video game. Congrats on your PF stats, we are all very proud.

• "Their goal is to kill Metal Gear Solid. We, the true Patriots are keeping it alive."

My response: You sir, are mildly delusional. Do you HONESTLY believe that people pushing disarmament are trying to KILL the game on a whole? You sound like Trump-spawn. Please don't try to play the "good guy" here, because we know there are none on either side. They are working towards a goal that requires WORLDWIDE COORDINATION AND DIPLOMACY, instead of being greedy PF point hoarders for numbers on a screen.

I realize that this post will either A) not be well received or B) down-voted into oblivion (knowing my audience) but I HAD TO say something after reading that ridiculous thread.

Thank you all for your time. I'm not looking to achieve anything with this post other than hopefully getting someone to self-reflect on this pointless conflict.

If you are a first timer or an old timer here is a collective post of all the fun the Patriots had. I was the original founder and leader of Patriots from the beginning. I had deleted my account because I was an idiot and used something way too close to my real name. If you see posts by a deleted user that's most likely myself.

Phantom Nuclear Operations

       Will be a passive group with the sole purpose to create Nukes, Protect Allies and Dominant the PF leaderboards. All while try to remain on our FOBs as much as possible other than defending each other, training, and testing defense layouts.

        Yes, at one time I was the Leader of DIE GROUP, but when I returned there intentions have changed, and I would rather not confirm. To "Anti-nuke".

If you have any questions, contact me here or on Xbox One.

It was fine last week. I don't know what has been going on but, there must be a reason why the nuke tab is not as high as it was when the game came out. It's the lowest I ever seen it....

How is everyone, what's the current count, who is still here?

I've had a job and schedule change, so I haven't had a lot of time to play hardly anything. It's tough being on a straight night schedule, with a child on the way (May 23rd).

Just kidding

Hey guyz and galz. How's everybody?
