OsRavan leader of the Orange Defense Network by invitation from the Great Khan himself, entered the Great Khan’s tent for a feast. The two leaders, along with Arnout the Emperor of Mankind, discussed the Horde’s invasion into Orange territory, with The Great Khan and The Emperor of Mankind conceding that OsRavan and his warriors were not as bad as those Inquisition heathens, and agreeing not to treat him as such in the future. The three leaders indulged themselves in wine and many women, and OsRavan introduced The Great Khan to his signature exotic orange juice, which the Great Khan pretended to enjoy very much. The Great Khan then taught OsRavan the art of mongolian throat singing, and the two performed for a less than amused Arnout. As the night began to die down, the leaders had come to an accord, All parties would agree to a truce, allowing their warriors to continue to fight until victory was achieved, or lay down their arms sooner if they wished. OsRavan, in an attempt to foster positive relations in the future, agreed to hold a mongolian throat singing festival all across the lands of his people, over the next 14 days. The Great Khan told OsRavan he was welcome to return for more feasting in the future. TLDR: We have peace.

The nation breakdown by city count, and the increases/decreases from last time: Although the game has seen a 2011 increase in members, 1918 of them have not surpassed 5 cities. The first few nations have reached 33 cities. The nation breakdown by continent, and the increases/decreases from last time: Other misc stats, and the increases/decreases from last time: Top alliance per city count:  Excludes applicants and vacation mode members, and alliances below the top 60.

I was recently banned for a post in Thalmor's thread. Now the image in question or rather images, were of a gnome sighting in Argentina and of a gnome child in black SS officer wear. The reason for this ban and dual point strike on Shifty's warn meter was due to "roleplaying as a Nazi." Now mind you, I did not post anything "pro-Nazi" I merely posted a joke/valid reference to the original post and was all within the context of meme-ing. >Johnny Costello and company call certain people undesirable/deplorable racists, nazis, and insensitive folks. >Thalmor makes thread about sjws bringing these people to justice >Shifty has already been called a nazi numerous times over just about anything, so he posts a "nazi gnome" (mind you with no runes or swastikas, so it was purposefully censored) and the statement "you won't take me alive" (common phrase for escaping criminals/also implying self-cyanide poisoning) Overall, it was appropriate for the over-the-top nature of the thread and mocking Johnny's post. Shifty does not roleplay as a nazi, he shitposted. Shifty roleplays as everything, currently he is a classically trained mage.

congrats on actually play this game, enjoy yourself and don't give a F about those people talking bad thing to you guys. Being micros doesn't mean you can't declare war and have fun....at least you guys not pixel hugger!!

It's called wick when its in a candle, not string.

I would be more inclined to rejoin if the consent rule was abolished. All that rule does is stagnated the game after a certain point, because certain players want to be controversial without accepting the consequences of doing so.

Maybe I'll tell everyone they disappear and in reality I'll have them all go to your nation a random nation ?

As far as I know, everything except a direct war with a nation is allowed in NatRP without consent. Having the consent rule in place actually lets all parties involved in a war work together to resolve it, instead of just going back and forth until one gets frustrated and leaves. I'd say let things stay as they are. There's already the Organic subforum which was created for the specific purpose of disallowing the consent rule.

Blood for the blood God. Skulls for the Skull Throne Khorne for the Khorne flakes Terminus Est is back. I'm leading it. Enjoy. Discord: https://discord.gg/z2BWuzV Alliance page: https://politicsandwar.com/alliance/id=4778

Hi, I'm Sean289 in Politics & war I am always open for messages and am happy to help people. Feel free to click me nation link and message me! MALESTEDO

Don't worry, we won't take 2 whole days to attack This is a declaration of war on Co-Tin (If that wasn't obvious enough) but not on IMU cause we have a PIAT with them I guess? Whatever. Let's do this!

I think the RP community especially NatRP has its 'top players' that kinda just dictate what rules should be in order to further their own RP progression. This was why I was so for Organic RP a while back when it was being created. its RP - iit isn't real, it doesn't actually change your in-game nation. Too many rules just restrict creativity and deter people from contributing.

Smoking kills. Don't do Ni-Co-Tin, kids.

Ah you're right, it's on my to-do list. I will probably just have them disappear, although having them go to a random nation would be interesting.

Sorry, but this is blatantly sexist and you should be banned.

As the name implies, this discussion has been made to suggest the end of the Consent rule, or at the very least, modify it so that we can still impact other nations without having to worry about consent. Here are my current suggestions, feel free to discuss them again: 1.) Remove the Consent Rule in it's entirety - Basically, we would completely remove the consent rule, thus no longer requiring consent to go to war and essentially creating a situation similar to Organic RP. No longer would anyone be able to hide behind the consent rule, and at the very least we would be able to have the occasional war. 2.) Modify the Consent rule - Allow nations to interdict trade without the need for consent. Personally, I don't like this idea that much.

My suggestion is pretty straightforward: each new city would start with a randomly chosen "bonus." This "bonus" would be related to city characteristics. Here are a few examples of what I have in mind: Flood Plain - 20% increased output from Farms in this city Natural Harbor - +5% commerce (naturally, without any commerce improvements) Hot Springs - +5% population And then basically one additional bonus for each natural resource. The idea would be that each of your cities would have a different "bonus" and if this were implemented all existing cities would just have one randomly generated. I think it would make things less "cookie-cutter" as in you may not want to have the exact same build for every single city. However, that could obviously be a drawback too, as it would be tedious. Anyway, I'd be curious to hear everyone's thoughts.

Hey its your boy casually posting after a 3 year forum hiatus. Right now having no food does not affect soldiers and only messes with income. This does not make sense because starving soldiers do not fight as well as fully-nourished ones. Furthermore, soldiers cost your nation more food per turn. Unless they're secretly cactusus (yes my nation is working on this technology) it makes no sense that they usually need food but can also fight just as well without it for months on end. As it currently stands you don't really even need a food stockpile for war, because if you're fully militarized a 1/3rd cut in revenue doesn't really matter as much. Also, nations constantly at war raiding could theoretically just never bother to buy or get food since most of their money is raided anyway. Sheepy plz

Am I doing this right?

Everyone secretly loves Shifty, they just don't know it yet. Sketchy would care about Shiftsters. Sketchy is from the same Genus as Shifty. Both branched off in the early Oligocene as the continents slowly began to drift part. At one point the range of the common ancestor was from Antarctica, South America, and Australia. As these 3 continents spread out further, they began to differentiate into species. One unknown specimen was found exclusively in Antarctica, but was thought to have gone extinct by 35 m.y.a as the continent began to freeze. Despite popular belief, CreepyLurkers are not related at all and are an example of convergent evolution.

I feel like what was meant was simply - understanding if something is satire within the context of the thread is difficult when the moderation team isn't 'in on' the joke itself. I feel like, maybe people that comment the way you do have the tendency to blow things out of proportion just a little bit. When reading the post I didn't see anything indicating that moderation were policing humor, I only saw that at some times they might not understand a joke or understand the satire. Albeit, something moderation needs to work on is actually understanding what is going on in a thread and not basing their warns on the simple post alone, most times there are people posting worse above or below the reported content. I assume that it must be slightly difficult dealing with todays society - In my RL I bash heads with people on different beliefs just bc of offensive dialogue that yesterday wasn't. IDK Sketchy just DM me and I'll send you offensive things, tell me if they are funny or not.

Hundreds of state-of-the-art missile interceptor batteries were placed across the territory, in anticipation of a missile strike. Simulations showed that with strategic placement, Lumia could easily intercept many thousands of missiles. The military was placed on alert, and some planes were flown to almost touch Salazarstani airspace before making a tight turn back, so as to spook the rogue nation and show it that Lumia was serious about defending its territory. Unbeknownst to Salazarstan, all of the jets were drones programmed to destroy themselves upon capture, so that no Lumian lives would be lost in a potential engagement. But with speeds of Mach 5, homing missiles, EMP beams, high-level cybersecurity, and impressive control of movement, it was unlikely that any jets would need to explode themselves at all. The Lumian Space Station was silently moved to an orbit near Salazarstan and made to minimise Earth-bound reflection. If need be, Ivan Salazar's arrogant broadcasts, along with commentary, would be beamed with overwhelming force to every news station. Civil unrest would be sure to follow. The military administration distributed humanitarian aid packages to the populace and passed liberalising reforms, such as the right to universal suffrage and freedom of religion. Some reforms would be better passed further down the line, but public opinion in Yemen about the Lumian occupiers was rising rapidly. The genuine kindness of the Republic's soldiers was already leaving its mark on Yemeni society. Soon, Yemen would consider itself as Lumian as the mainland.

Micros give DOW? Anyway good luck to both sides.

Oh well. You guys are supposedly Co-Tin's super strong secret ally that's going to crush us right? Or at least according to Co-Tins leader.

The Micros are Coming, The Micros are Coming.

I literally don't know you people - but nice! Good luck.

And this is the exact problem with the moderation of this forum. Your personal subjective interpretation of a post should not be what dictates whether it does or does not break the rules. Whether or not you "get the joke" is completely irrelevant, what are you the humor police?

Took you guys long enough to start attacking. Bloody hell! 2 days?

Going to a random nation is much more interesting than refunding.

You have to be Rozalia for that.

bump

I'd argue that it is more dependent on other factors just because I want to argue with someone. Also, welcome back.

If there were consquences people would have less reason to be retarded, but since people are free to do whatever and hide behind the consent rule NatRP is going to stay dead, just without me having the map advantages for quite a few more months.

Nah. The baseball math I did, on the other hand... Knowing that Sheepy thinks baseball players age 7 times more rapidly than normal haunts me to this day.

Honors System of the Republic The Aguacentian honors system is a means of rewarding individuals' personal bravery, achievement, or service to the Republic of Aguacenta.

Collectively all members of the brotherhood are referred to by the title of Bellator. Membership is tiered into four ranks, and various sub-ranks based on service and involvement in the brotherhood. The highest level of membership, reserved for those in national leadership roles, is Bellator Magnus; the second highest level of membership, reserved for those in regional leadership roles, is Bellator Exemplar; the third level of membership, reserved for regular members, is Bellator Verum; and the lowest level of membership, reserved for new members of the brotherhood, is Bellator Novicus.

Rank within the Brotherhood are denoted by stars etched along the bottom of the oval-center, with three stars etched on the medals of the Knights Magnus and no stars etched on Knights Novicus.

Well, we now have a definition for Semi-Paperless in this game.

net income shows before alliance taxes net income, maybe this is the issue

Or... A random nation.

Can't wait to reck some shit again. I got shit alliances to fight in last war. Hope I get something worthy this time round. Blood for the Blood God, Milk for my Khorne Flakes! Arrgh!

Better idea: All bounties that end up on deleted nations go to Alex's nation

Indeed. I lead once more.

With Rozalia banned, Partisan not shitposting much, and Sheepy potentially making bad decisions - I'm sure you could land safely in the #3 spot. I just now have to make my way to surpass Kurdanak, but it's hard to overcome well timed gif posts.

How in the hell am I not on this? I think you and your associates are complete idiots who can't form logical arguments without throwing in personal attacks, baiting, or even flat out lying then ignoring proof, like you are doing right now. "Who in their right mind asks for porn" Gtfo until you can learn to read a thread, where its already been posted in the last 3 pages.

Cya around Roz. It's a shame Alex and his merry band of moderator cucks started their own crusade to run you off of the forums which then ultimately led to you going out in flames.

Can't wait for the next one in 2020.

But with proper management of the limited resource that is dev time, Sheepy can I don't know, make a Jurassic Park project or finish perks?

I sent your nation 2 trades. One is for food and one is for money. Accept the free food first and then accept the offer for me to buy food from you for 5 mil. That is the awkward way we have to send nations money. I wont let sheepy's crappy mechanics run you off from this game (I'll let all the other shitty players on the OWF do that)
