Translation: "we destroy micros and anyone else we don't approve of for the benefit of pixel hugging lardass whales who do nothing and have no contributing value to the game." This is far worse than just saying "yeah, and? So what?" Which is what I had expected, and isn't that bad. This is though. Smh.

The enemies of TKR and IQ will never recover.

Happy Shocktober/Oktoberfest/Spooktober everyone Now for Shifty's agenda for the month: -Covering the pressing and looming war rumors: Straight from BK and IQ "Hello my fellow Knights, I want to congratulate everyone on the tremendous success of our booster program. Our score has skyrocketed and we are catching up to TKR for that number one spot. In the last 30 days, BK has sent out 26% of the total amount of grants in the total of BK history. With booster efforts underway, many of you at 15 and above are sitting and banking cash waiting for city grants to increase again. To fill this down time, this is the order of projects of cities you should be buying once you reach 15 cities before building to 16, or filling in any of these you dont have if you are above 15. These are ranked in order of importance. 1) Intelligence Agency 2) Propoganda Bureau 3) Iron Dome 4) Emergency Gas Reserve 5) Bauxite Works 6) Center for Civil Engineering With war on the near horizon, it is vital that we fill our infra slots while our infra is fully intact. The first three projects will improve our war capability, and the next three will improve our ability to rebuild after we win it. With most of BK's taxes going towards boosting, at this point we are only offering grants for the IA, however none of them are super expensive. Great job so far and BK Stronk! -Leo" Next up: Covering more in-depth FA rumors such as the TKR-TCW split up regarding TCW thinking it's really more than Pantheon 2: Cruise Control. Lastly more micro drama: Is United Hoods really being used by the Syndicate to force people off Green to keep their turn bonus high? This is Shifty, gloating that he can leak anywhere, anytime, anything, in over 700 different ways and that's just with his bare hands.

For such 'boring stuff', you sure are acting weirdly defensive about it.

Oh boy, here we go again....

Now this, this is the work of an enemy STAND, leaker: Takkaraput pop porunga pupiritt paro @Alex I summon you, this is the color warfare you wanted with your team color changes. Now grant me 3 wishes. This is Shifty, posting to you from beyond the realm of the living, live from the Astral Plane.

This is the best thing I have ever seen, tS you have my full support, and keep up the great work! Hoods, keep it up boys and girls! Someone has to scrap the barnacles off us whales... noone likes a parasite dragging the rest of us down. Also don't forget to make sure you let 50% of your alliance know that they contribute no value to the game.

The leak is fake!! And out of context!! ?

*Changes alliance color to green*

I've already won this one

The $yndicate views itself as a frontrunner in the race to a sustainable business environment. Our extensive social programmes are intended to give back to the communities and colour spheres in which we operate. Alliances such as the Grumpy Old Bastards and The Coalition benefit hugely from our CSR policies on the green team, and we would not want it any other way. To The $yndicate, its key segments come first. Always.

rawr

also not even the state of the union, weak leak

Ayyyy, Shifty keeps his promises: #goals #ShiftyOnDaCase #CrackDis!@#$Open

I have a bot for this purpose. Good work on the program, but here are some of my comments. Even if an alliance is going for an offensive war, they may or may not have max military of all types. Sometimes it could be because of strategic reasons. Do you plan to make this bot usable for successive attacks or only for the initial attack? If you want to make a bot prepare targets in alliance wars, then you need to take the following into account 1. The current wars they engage in and the progress in those wars (in case it's not the first round). A nation should at least lean towards winning the current wars (depending on the support it receives from others) before expanding to the next targets. 2. Attacking and defending nations' rebuilding capacity for that moment (this is based on how much they lost military in that day as well as their military improvements/number of cities). Attacking nations can go for slightly riskier defending nations if they are attacking just before update. If this is happening after the initial round, then you need to take their rebuilding capacity into account. If the city count difference is huge, then some couple of losing nations can turn the tide by building military twice near update. So it's useful in more than one instances. 3. As SRD said, you need to allow the facility to set priorities. Then match up highly rated attacking nation with highly rated defending nation wherever possible. Else more often than not, a high priority defending nation will have all the slots filled up and will fight unopposed in 2+ days from initial war declaration. You can also add more features into how you match different nations. I run simulations some 1000 times, then see the percentage of immense/moderate/utter/pyrrhic/, then make matches. What kind of blasphemy is this? Humans are the worst On a related note, which language do you use for programming? We have a channel for programmers in PnW, we work together in some interesting projects, so if you are interested, then join us. link: https://discord.gg/FRwrZT9

I'm disgusted to see all the pineapple heathens here. Shifty what have you done.

C'mon now Buorhann, let's not scare off a potential member of the No Tanks Gang. Now that it's *current year*, all the cool kids in Orbis know that ground forces are for boosted-up noobs and pixel huggers who probably just log in to buy credits every month. Not us in the No Tanks Gang though, we rule these mean streets like Sheepy God intended, with beige and airpower. REPRESENT!

Ah yes, the anthems will auto-play again if users do the following: 1. Go to chrome://flags/#autoplay-policy 2. Change Autoplay Policy to No User Gesture Required

DID SOMEONE SAY OOC ATTACKS?!?

And spoken with such confidence too. Even in leaks IQ can't catch a break smh

And do you think micros are actually going to follow this rule? or even know to follow this rule?

Hrm. I've been thinking about this for a bit, and I'm going to have to make a few counter-arguments. First, defining a micro by top 45 is highly limiting; for a start you've got Arrgh sitting pretty right there in the 'micro' tier at #46*. And otherwise relevant alliances that get rolled might end up dropping below that threshold. Would threads about rolled alliances need to be moved by moderators or by an automatic script as necessary? That seems counterproductive to me, but what other options are there? We could extend the threshold downwards, but then the utility diminishes anyway. Second, what about protectorates? Or using micros as mercenaries? Bank alliances? Just because an alliance is tiny doesn't mean that they're not relevant to somebody, somehow. And even if the announcement doesn't have anything directly to do with a non-micro alliance, maybe it's sponsored by a big name or guaranteed or something. Heck, by that logic there's not a single announcement on the first page of Alliance Affairs right now that wouldn't belong there under your system, since all those micros have treaties or protectors in the top 45. Third, putting micro announcements into a containment board means that their announcements aren't given the same level of exposure as an established alliance. That's a problem on many levels, not the least of which is that their initial growth and their ability to escape the micro ghetto depends in large part on their visibility. Recruitment is hard enough for an alliance that can't say "we're literally #1 in this/that/otherthing so join us", so making it just that much worse for growing alliances isn't a good. Furthermore, what if they get dec'd on and rolled? Are they to ineffectually scream into an unobserved board about their plight? If they got hit by a large force then the argument can be made that the announcement is relevant by association to the larger force, but lacking either, then they're even less likely to escape the micro ghetto their low score has sentenced them to. I do realize that it really doesn't matter that much when tinyalliance renames themselves into microd*ck, and it's bothersome to have to check on the off chance that maybe it does, but implementing this suggestion would only cause more problems IMO... and honestly, it wouldn't even solve anything in the first place. *arguments about Arrgh being relevant these days or not are tangential to the point

Please see these rules before posting in here again:

Even sheepy is into this.

You’re just asking for it at this point

The more threads, the more down-repping.

Nah, I could care less. Please wake me up when you have more entertaining leaks. Oh wait... You're just a meme as well.

Who is better trump or hillary

Who would you declare war on

Stop downrepping me it was an accident I didn't know what I was doing instead uprep me

Verbal Warning to everyone. No more filter evading.
