100 upvotes for Rado's twerk. We want this to happen. You want this to happen. (He deleted the message in Great Job! chat, so we have to pseudo do it here) This is the song in question he'll video tape himself twerking to.

Hahahahaha wtf

I would like to propose the removal of inactives from the alliance score and member count the same way that vacation members do not count towards it. This would make alliance score more indicative of their actual power, instead of allowing alliances to overinflate their score and member count, and would no longer count those inactives when calculating bank loot. Another benefit is that alliances that are almost completely inactive would no longer show up in the alliance recruitment page since they wouldn't meet the score threshold meaning new players are less likely to attempt to join them only to end up quitting because no one accepts them. Vacation mode members are already treated this way, so I think inactives should be as well since people on vacation mode are more likely to return than them anyways. The term of inactivity I propose for this to take effect is 14 days, the time when you are moved to grey.

Let's be real here. Why would a smaller alliance think a larger alliance, who successfully raided one of their largest members, think any sort of demands will be heard? Why would Mensa HQ leaders have to come to you to discuss things? Mensa HQ doesn't really owe you anything. You pretty much admitted nothing could be done if we didn't cater to anything you stated. Reconsider how you're going about this. For example: If you are really concerned about these attacks, don't list demands ( Yet ). Go straight to the leadership, talk to Pfeiffer or whoever we have, and talk about it. Chances are, this would've solved everything and you would've most likely got some sort of reparations back to maintain neutral or good relations. If not, take screenshots of the conversation. Use it as evidence that Mensa HQ could be a bully raiding alliance. Rally up support to your cause, if anybody cares to follow it.

I like you.

Perhaps Dio can guide you to locate Pfeiffer as he is on IRC right now? ( And always is just about ) The name is the same.

Today was a slow day at work. Normally everyday I'm having to clean some poor workers laptop or phone, or do some hardware repairs, something of that sort. Today? Not so much. I had plenty of time at work today to browse around and sit on my rear. Pretty good day right? Well, I hate having idle hands. I must remain busy. So I went out to my car and brought in my own laptop. I owned this laptop for almost 4 years, pretty solid Asus model ( u65e, for the techies wondering ). It's my college/gaming laptop, and I never bothered to clean it. It's a huge mess and, considering it's age, it was about time to find a replacement. Really nice laptop though! I figured I'd take it a part and see what the guts of the thing looked like after all these years. However, Dio had other plans. You see, opening this bad boy up was a pretty drawn out thing. Lots of screws you have to undo in order to take a part the case and get into it. Dio guided me to using YouTube to look up tutorials so I don't make a mistake. I would hate to obliterate the laptop that has years of research papers and games on it! With his advice, I went about each little step, one by one and finally got it pried open with everything pulled out. It was extremely dirty. With a sigh, I cleaned it all out. Yet, I was told to add sand to it. Just put some fresh sand in there. So I did, and after putting it all back together, it worked great! Even booted up faster, the fan didn't make a noise, and it remained cool. Made sitting the laptop on my lap much more tolerable. I thanked Dio for his advice and his guidance. Perhaps that is a issue here, maybe you don't have enough sand in your alliance or your life? Or perhaps you do have sand, but in the wrong places? Whatever the case may be, please seek out Dio properly and he shall guide you to a much more enjoyable life. Just don't turn into a frigid icy person. We don't take too kindly to those.

Hello all, new guy here. Just starting around. Use to play some past browser games and this one reminded me of one that was similar to Utopia ( Is that the right one I'm thinking? ). Looks great so far.

Why not tie the perks into the policies of the game? If your policy is this - you unlock these perks. Which will then give us a list of perks that we can choose from on each policy. The policies themselves can have some sort of additional small buff/penalty as well.

Also, I already thanked you in a PM, but I'd like to thank you here as well. So thank you again for the donation from my earlier winnings.

Ah, yeah, I mis-read it. So you'll start with 7 MAP instead of the 6, no matter what. Still pretty powerful. I'd prefer the +1 Offensive Slot to be a -1 Defensive Slot - would make it much more worthwhile, but it does need to be a more difficult perk to reach.

That requires lots of coordination. Goodluck with that. Plus, as I see it, 99 Percent hasn't done anything to Mensa HQ or Dio, so we cool.

I look at it as meaning you get +1 MAP for every war you're in. So if you open up 3 fronts, that's +3 to your starting MAP ( Instead of 6, you'll start with 9 ). Just by having one war opened, you'll start with 7 - and that's before declaring war ahead of a ending day tick. Granted the +1 Offensive Slot will only help if you open up all your Offensive Slots to get as much of a +1 MAP per War bonus as possible. Dedicated Raiders will have a field day with this combo, if I speculate it correctly.

Now that I think about it, the extra Offensive Slot AND the +1 MAP per War would be a very broken perk combination.

For a Military build - I'd go with Units cost 10% less, Upkeep -25%, Recruit 25% more per day on the Military Perks. 5% Combat Value, 1 extra MAP per War on the War Perks. Build a New City/Project every 9 days, 1 Free Improvement Slot per City in the Development Perks. And the 8th perk could float around. My line of thinking is that unless you're a 24/7 raider on farms/inactives, then the extra Offensive War slot would be near worthless. The 20% extra loot will also be very limited, considering you could potentially just not get anything at all ( Or very little to make any use of the increased percentage ). The extra Spy per day I'd assume will be for higher scoring tier nations. Not a terrible perk, but not one I'd go "OMG MUST HAVE".

Thank you.

Thank you! I'm getting the hang of things, although I'm still looking at optimal builds. I see that no matter the score you have, you can contribute to something in the game ( Like how the 99 percent alliance is staying small to raid lower score players while avoiding higher score players, not a bad idea ). I do want to visit Germany. Thank you!

I wish to participate. https://politicsandwar.com/nation/id=12739

Yeah, came over to this game with a couple of other folks so we figured we'd build up new here and bring the word of Dio~

I'm new, but I was asked a question by some folks interested in playing. They wanted to focus on the econ parts of this game, which seems pretty simple if you ask me, but if someone was to focus straight up economy ( No military ); they'd most likely get farmed quite a bit by more aggressive players, right? So, could a person just building straight up resource gathering/production defend themselves with enough Soldiers? Or would they need to focus on obtaining Ships/Planes/Tanks too?

16 hour drive?! I don't know if I could do that in a day. 12 hours was pushing it for me.

I am! Thanks for the gift!

How do alliances protect you? Or is it just by affiliation and fear of retaliation?

I hear you on that. The one state I hate driving through is Alabama. I'm not a fan of 55mph speed limits on the highway/interstates. How long of a drive did you have? The furthest I've driven in one day is 12 hours.

Going pretty good, how about yourself? Yeah, it was a long time ago when I played Utopia. I think it was around the 2nd to 7th ages if I remember? I do know they had another game on that website that seemed awfully similar to this one, hence why I'm trying this out. What should I expect once my protection wears off? Getting gang-banged by several new player bashers or what?

So basically look at city improvements once you hit the 1k Infrastructure mark?

The real question is: if you ban the bot how do you know if no one is using it? Because it's very likely that the mistrade can be catched without using a bot

If you really don’t care then why do you keep responding...or better question why are you even here lol

Is there a ‘Cringiest Player of the Year’ award?

You're right. He is more than that. He is....he is a MONSTER!!

You hear him @Buorhann? Stop cyberbullying me.

>Fake deal You obviously don’t know me and my history with Rado. The two of us go back. I also find it strangely odd that there’s a couple of people concerned about reps when you can clearly counteract it by downvoting other posts, if it’s that much of a problem for you. Am I really the one concerned about it or is it those trying to stir drama about it? I’m just trying to have a fun moment, similar to how I helped encourage Charlie on doing the John Lennon pic (which is priceless). Anyone else could’ve created this thread. Chances are, you’d probably cry out the same way. If you’re concerned about reps, maybe do something worthy yourself?

79, @Radoje (You might as well record it now)

It’s like Shifty and Rickky can’t afford to pay attention.

He has done so in the past, feel free to do exactly that. That's already a thing; there's several seconds of delay before trade data is fed to the API at all, and a further delay before any bot actually makes a request. And then on top of that there needs to be an actual person reacting to the information, which is even more delay. You can fix your mistake by checking after each trade, instead of waiting to post all your trades and then checking. There's plenty of time for that. From my testing, the trade bots are apparently nowhere near as prevalent as you guys seem to believe; I had three food buy orders on the market at 2k for an hour Wew. That's pretty generous of you; I'd have at least held the money under sequestration until peace is reached.

Sure thing. I think both have sent you offers now. At its core though, it's not significantly different than something like a war bot since all it does is give notifications. You should know as well that's there's already a delay built into the API so that the number of mistrades that the bot picks up are reduced. You could make the argument, and others this war have, I believe, that war bots are also an unfair advantage. But they got dismissed, since a number of alliances have war bots and they run off an API that's available to everyone in the game. With both the war bots and this one, the potential to make it exists for everyone equally and it's actual people conducting the actions. The primary difference is we're the only one so far to have made a bot like this (that I know of at least). Good luck with your future trades and let me know if you have any other issues.

What 'unfair advantage'? You can look at the trade screen and take advantage of the same opportunities. My test trade has been up for like 3 minutes, more than ten times longer than it takes to double-check and delete after making a mistake. Edit: Yep, 4 minutes before it was picked up... by NPO. So which is it? Is taking an unfair trade is a legal action, or is it not? Does profiting by market speculation constitute an 'unfair advantage' in a bannable sense, or not?

I'm going to make sure Rado honors this.

Remember when this forum was for alliance announcements?

Title has the question.

Ah, didn't know The Zoo was strictly the PoW camp. My fault on that. To be honest though, it really has gotten to be like a zoo with the coalition. How many alliances are involved in this now? lol. It's amazing that you were able to rally up this many alliances together.

Congo Line was amusing.

Pfeiffer clearly knew why he received the warning ( Calling out a moderator, etc ). He's more concerned about the definition of spam, lack of transparency on modding a post or thread, and is concerned about the lack of uniformity with moderation. Not trying to step on toes here, but saying "might" is a cop out. Moderation needs to be clearly defined because everybody will have different perspectives.

Even the mods know Dio's glory. They're continuing the trend by quoting Dio's Fist. ( By the way, does Skynet get points for continuing the trend? )

I support this, I’m starting a hashtag with you! #noctismosthated2018/9

Nizam has long hair confirmed.

>TGH getting rolled You make it sound like we care about pixels.

Well now Buorhann, let's not get ahead of ourselves here. BK doesn't have ties, those are all merely mergers in progress. It's little distinctions like that which are important in FA, can't mess it up.
