In my experience, alliance trade offers aren't used very often. This could be just my alliance but I suspect it is true for most. One of the reasons is that it's on its own page. It's hard for it to reach a critical mass of people posting and accepting offers because people rarely look at it. My suggestion is to show your alliance's trade offers on the global trade offers page. It could be marked as an alliance offer. Even for alliances where the alliance market is used, this would make it more convenient.

Are you talking about Fraggle's approach of keeping 0 infra cities with only raws production? It sure is.

This is a horrible thread.

Listen to Pre, if you want someone that knows how to burn political capital, Pre has put his 10,000 hours in.

"hurr durr my pee pee is bigger than ur pee pee" The only thing you're vastly superior at is dodging wars and sleeping through the last year and a half of this game. Accumulating a big stockpile for doing nothing for this long doesn't come as a surprise. I wouldn't brag about it if I were you. From the points you raised, you also seem to lack general knowledge of the game, and more specifically war, since you've apparently never been in one. Luckily, you have Partisan back in charge so I'm sure that will soon change at some point. Perhaps then, with more experience under your belt you can raise more valid points, otherwise you're just showing lack of understanding how this game works.

I was honestly, delightfully impressed with the quality and civility of this thread for the first page or so.

This. There's really no reason not to have a unified and convenient trading page.

Every year, SilencerCo comes out with a new April Fools video. My question to PaW: which one do you like best? Vote now!

His point is that it will show up on the same page, but only to those alliance members and trade partners, not that it will show up to everyone on global. This is a simple idea that will make internal alliance trade actually viable. All you'd really have to do is put a background overlay similar to the one for embargoes, but a different color like green, and perhaps "Alliance Trade" above the persons name. @Alex pls do

That's an uhmm, interesting approach..

Application denied, your city set up is so terrible that you cant even power your first city? Sure you have 42 so I would understand if you didn't notice that city 38 wasn't powered, but its city #1! you see it every single time. Even worse you have 8.5 trillion dollars, and you still don't have power in your first city. Also, why are you holding onto 8.5 trillion dollars? Its a huge waste not to use that cash to reinvest into your cities, or you know... buy another 40-50 cities.

Oh, you get war threats when a member player does stupid shit in another's Discord? A shame that people don't know there's a Ban/Block function for such disruptive players. Really easy solution.

All you've gotten is facts. We don't cite ours because they're blatant common knowledge. One need not cite their assertion that sky is frickin blue. On the other hand, you've provided only arrogance as evidence. Have a nice day. I'll call you Squidward from now on. I feel it's easier for everyone if we just call abject mediocrity the same names.

I've been out of the game for a while, so I didn't contribute to this thread about the relevance of alliances. However, I can contribute to the relevance of @Itachi. And what I would say would simply mirror the words that @Prefontaine has already spoken. There is a time for hubris, and there is a time for silence. Learn from this and move on young one.

I'm going to descend from on high to grace your existence with some actual knowledge. Based on your performance in this thread, eS did nothing for you except give you an inflated, undeserved sense of accomplishment. Having cities doesn't mean you're better than someone. Having more money or resources doesn't mean you're better than someone. Your behavior hearkens to my point about protectorates, if you coddle new and growing players or alliances to much, you are a prime example of what you're left with. You need to get punched in the mouth. I don't mean a personal attack here, I mean in game, your nation. Everyone has a plan until they're punched in the mouth. Reputation is what matters here. How you carry yourself is what matters. Kastor is known to be untrustworthy with bank access years after what he's done. I turned down an applicant based on his actions in the recent KT/TGH vs TKR sphere war. I'm regularly given shit for leaving the game in the manner I did. True power in these games is your ability to control the political tide. You can do that from on top of the sphere mountain, you can do that with a reputation built on over a decade in these sort of games, you can do that with the proper motivation and skill without needing to invest as much as some of the monolithic political figures in the game. You, Itachi, can do none of this. You come off as a petulant child. Some trust fund kid who had an easy up bringing and was coddled by his betters. Instead of using this advantageous position to actually become a better player, you developed a chip on your shoulder. A chip that isn't deserved. I checked if you were in gov in Syndicate, Itachi. If you were in a position of even remote authority, and Syndicate wanted to work with my alliance, your presence alone would cause me trepidation at such an idea. That's how poor you are in regards to political capital. Your presence in an alliance is a liability. You make your alliance weaker for being apart of it. If you were in a training alliance worth anything, you would know what actually matters in these games. Pixels can be burned, Itachi. Clinging to them makes you weak. Boasting about them makes you weaker. All you've done in arguing for eS's superiority is given the perfect example in their failures, and why the original criticisms towards the alliance are actually valid. You've proven the point you were trying to fight against by your own actions. Take this as an opportunity to learn the appropriate time to shut your fricking mouth. Because while the truncheon may be used in lieu of conversations, words will always retain their power. Words offer the means to meaning, and for those who will listen, the enunciation of truth.

You do you man. Go love that dick.

Hah, now that's a false flag if I've ever seen one! Nice try Roq, but I'm on to you now. Reset the counter boys!

Next I am releasing 999th GPC

I find it very interesting that you think that the Pantheon I partook in was in any way raiding oriented. The only time that you have ever heard of Pantheon raiding someone has been under Fist.

September 4th, 2018. A day that will sink in my heart, a day that I will remember. Today marks the end of the 3rd Golden Phoenix Coalition. The most successful of its dynasty lasting 7 months before it's death. I would like to thank my great government members who worked hard and impressed me, expect for Pedites Magn, the reason this post has been made. I would like to thank my allies and friends who supported GPC. I would like to thank Dark brotherhood, Lordaeron, Acadia, and The band of the Hawk, for protecting GPC at one point of its lifetime. I would like to thank people who critized me and gave hate towards me, for helping me improve and to give me a reason to never give up. This ending of the Golden Phoenix Coalition isn't me giving up on making a strong alliance, it's a step I must take to improve. I shall settle in my new home, my new alliance. I want to thank you all who were there by my side. Now here lies the Golden Phoenix Coalition for the last time. RIP.
