Going on February and this war from October still ongoing? What a fricking pathetic disgrace all sides of this war are. Like seriously? Four fricking months? This is setting a terrible precedent for the future of this game. People talking about this game getting a second life but holy shit this is probably the lowest of all time. People who complained about a 6 month nap, well how about one side of a global sitting on the other for four months. IQ/Syndi(not all of Syndi cause I know some want out) suck a dick. TKR/TCW, swallow your pride and accept terms because you’ve been clearly beat. *waits for movement from bobber, places rod in holder and cracks a beer*

Shifty reporting in with screenshots and reports Looks like Rose maybe in financial trouble and demanding money from protectorates Is this a case of protection for nothing or money for nothing? Here at SNN we let the viewers decide on things the globalists wish they could keep behind closed doors.

>We'll protect you... for a fee.

War is expensive - so is dodging it! #DynamicDidNothingWrong

Dynamic may need to change his profile pic. Trying to get back taxes is no job for amateurs.

See Leo, I told you protectorates were a waste of time and energy and would just lead you into stupid shit like this. Pretty much all the alliances in this game are incredibly stupid when it comes to protectorates. If an alliance feels they are big and bad enough that they can protect another alliance they should also be able to look after themselves and don't need a protector.

Sorry but players should be able to play the game in any way they want, this is a terrible idea

...You pay for protection? ...From Rose?

Guys chill Moon and his friends are so totally legit if you don't believe me just ask our Lord and saviour Alex. I mean it's so totally because they (he) isn't donating around 120 a month for credits.

Not the donation I was looking for but ehh better than nothing

Wew lad, this multi ring goes deeper than I thought.

We will gladly take donations since we are in “financial trouble”. Just send them straight to my nation and I will make sure they get where they are supposed to go

The bigger news here is that Dynamic is exposed as a █▀█ █▄█ ▀█▀ ▀█▀ multi.

Pretty low move Rose, kinda disappointing to see really, glad this was caught before he actually paid! Make your own money and stop stealing from others

Noooo, don't say that out loud, you are only going to strengthen their resolve!

Great, another knight themed AA Hyperborea hereby renames itself White Knights

So, now that the war has reached 70 days in length and become the longest in history, some things need to change. As we all know, the skill and warfighting potential of an alliance is determined by the length of the wars they fight. Basically, I'm the best now, and we need to recognize that. @Buorhann It's time man, I'll be awaiting the transfer.

That's why I didn't vote for that category at all; it's an objective measurement and absolutely shouldn't have been voted on as if it were something people can have valid opinions about. It's like voting on how tall a 10' tree is; it doesn't matter how strong the 8'4 caucus is or how biased the 11' media is on the subject, it's 10' and that's a fact.

Let them hit the 100 day mark first, just 3 more days.

Shocking that TKR won most inactive alliance when they actually aren't even in the Top 10 for that. Here are the partial results from a survey conducted last weekend of the most active and inactive alliances. Most Inactive Alliances 1. Arrgh! (43% inactive) 2. Typhon (36% inactive) 3. The Commonwealth (33% inactive) 4. Knights Templar (27% inactive) 5. Guardians of the Galaxy (26% inactive) 6. Acadia (25% inactive) 7. The Fighting Pacifists (24% inactive) 8. Pantheon (22% inactive) 9. Solar Knights (20% inactive) 10. Rough Riders (19% inactive) Most Active Alliances 1. Fark (0% inactive) 2. Bad Company (2% inactive) 3. Brotherhood of the Clouds (2.4% inactive) 4. Tie between Church of Spaceology and The Golden Horde (2.8% inactive) 5. Seven Kingdoms (3.1% inactive)

Be honest...you say you don’t care but do you really not? If so, you’re putting a lot of effort into something you don’t care. Its obvious you want some kind of compensation for all your downvotes.

Salty alty kekekekekek

>implying Blackstone legion was anything but an enclosed habitat for 50-70 inactives and 10-20 or so care takers who only just now realized all the zoo animals were carcasses Condolences to UH.

Does anyone really care?

BSL: apparently known for being ridiculously inactive. United Hoods: one of those alliances that bandwagoned in this war, and ended up peacing out. Perhaps the merged alliance would be of better quality. Good luck!

How dare these kids think this is a joke.

I like this idea it could be really war efficient for battle like knightfall. Also, I was at 1,700 score and since Knightfall i went down to 503.22 score and I need money but I am a poor nation. So Alex can you make something for the poor nations to get to become rich or just so that they can get better?

I was going for that 700th downvote. Valid CB right there. This is a stupid idea. Although forum vote system and leaderboard system could both use some improvements, I don't see any need to add a downvote leaderboard.

Excess? There is no excess; we need all of those treaties in order to accurately reflect the bond our alliances have with each other :B

Did this Acadia nation go into VM mode to get out of me kicking his ass for the 7th time? https://politicsandwar.com/nation/id=12832

Shitpost or not, it can be easily argued that canceling on KT is justifiable both ethically and legally.

I think it's quite clear that we are canceling one of the four treaties that we have

Please give me your bank account number and sort code and I'll forward everything I own immediately

And then you'll know for sure it's time for you to go.

The point of having committed suicide refers to common consensus about TKR diplomatic "errors" in the run-up to the war; i.e, DDR, the hit on nuke bloc, etc. As for emergent IQ hegemony, my point of view is that NPO hegemonies are more fun to break up than they are to forestall. The game has been attempting to "stop" an NPO hegemony for almost the entirety of its history. The end effect is that the traditional baby eaters have slowly become cute and cuddly for their resistance and persistence. People seem to have this odd notion that NPO hegs destroy games, but it's confusing correlation with causation. NPO hegs tend to take over in dead games; i.e, no one is left to resist them, so they just sit on the corpse until it rots away. But NPO hegs also establish themselves in live games, and these hegs, from my memory, are rather fun to tear apart given the time and effort needed to do so. Moreover, while this war, your sphere was barely taken down by combined efforts of almost the entire game, the "Thin Roq Line" is actually extremely vulnerable; it can be sandwiched between Syndisphere launching attacks from above and Pantheonsphere (this is a term due to tier control) launching attacks from below. Your sphere was mostly updeclared against, whereas the "Thin Roq Line" is down-declarable. As for TKR-fat, TKR's actual fat are people who've left the game or gone inactive. It's reasonable for TKR et al to rotate combatants in for tours of duty, then let them go temporarily inactive, but continue to log in, during a long war. TKR has essentially sat at 97 members out of VM since Jan 1, so it appears as though SynDIQ is dealing more damage through attrited warchest (250m a day) than through member losses).

Hehe. Without NPO to help find their manhood BK would be Obris's outhouse.

I wonder if BK would have won so many awards if you weren't allowed to vote for your own alliance... Edit: They still would have, because NPO would vote for BK and BK would vote for NPO.

Shifty. Stop with the propoganda and give us some real leaks. #BringBackTheRealShifty

I find this statement rich coming from you. Not only are you guys talking about stacking the chips in favor of people who already have an advantage, but you've got one of the worst offenders of Protectorate spam saying it's necessary? Komando is a dead alliance by the looks of it, Defcon 1 might as well be dead for all it's existence matters to anyone, same with Yakuza, goon squad is a wannabe Oblivion with none of the reputation or utility. Solar Knights is rank 16 and clearly doesn't need your protection, and Animation Domination thinks itself strong enough to protect others and also clearly doesn't need you. Your Allies are just as bad and the other top alliances aren't any better. You know what's even worse than the number of shitty micros? The number of them that are being protected either by you or by people you're still protecting despite them being organized and strong enough to protect others. Start by doing your part. There's good reason to drop every single alliance I named. If they die from that, oh well. If everyone else gets a clue and follows suit just send them to me, I'd love more targets down here to burn to the ground without worrying about NPO coming after me for burning some backwater nobody's down. I'd love to cleanup the micros for you but you all protect them one way or another, and now you want to deny me the manpower to even do it lol

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.

^this

I think it's clear enough as it is. What TKR's bot does is not automation and thus perfectly legal.

Any tax rate less than 100/100 is materialistic degeneracy, shame on Typhon.

Tank based anti-air platforms have existed since World War II. As a matter of fact, Germany CONVERTED obsolete tank hulls into this role (look at the Flakpanzer I, for example). Not only tanks, but even lighter vehicles (such as trucks and half-tracks) were mounted with AA weaponry for AA purposes. American M16 Multi Gun Motor Carriage, mounted with quad .50's. German Sd.Kfz 7/2, with a 37mm FlaK cannon mounted on it. Nowadays they usually just slap SAM's into them, rather than guns, as is the case with the Avenger: As for the idea itself for the fleet, while good in theory, the problem with it is that it can easily be circumvented by simply zero'ing or largely destroying the opponent's air first (which is common procedure anyway), and you'd be left in a case where the 300 planes spawned by the CV (plus whatever the target still has left, let's say 200) would ultimately still get curbstomped by the 1000+ aircraft the other person has (ships usually only get targetted once ground and air have been secured, since having ground helps secure air and the other way around, while the naval aspect is a bit isolated from that dynamic). Perhaps assigning an AA % value to the ships themselves would result in a more meaningful cost for the attacker to consider before launching an air strike.
