Last year: "Holy frick, the economy is fricked, prices are too high, Sheepy needs to fix the economy." Sheepy: *Implements new economy changes adding the multiplier effect for specialization* Now: "Holy frick, the economy is fricked, prices are too low".........

little nations dont go green, its an ugly color with a terrible bonus. it would never benefit you to do that.

*cough* Take it from me, 0/0 is a pain in the ass when it comes to alliance finances. The problem is that in order to actually get anything building, you need to be able to afford the initial cost to buy said thing, and then tax them afterwards to recoup said cost and make a profit. Without the ability to afford the initial cost, then you might as well let your members develop themselves. As for fighting in wars, well, if you need resources, then you should ask your alliance bank for them. Not even we chose to stick directly with member supply only, and sent out aid as requested and needed. Also, taxing people apparently gets around blockades nowadays, and so if you're being beaten down and blockaded, high taxes that are then returned when your members are on beige is a pretty decent way to staunch losses from getting looted. For the growth program idea, well, while it might work in smaller alliances, or the exceptionally poor ones that have less of a reserve than we do, the amount of resources that you'd get from the pooled income of your alliance far outstrips the amount you'd generate on your own on 0% taxes. IMO, you'd be better off getting funded by the alliance and paying down the debt, as I believe that the impact of a 0% growth program would be relatively negligible as well as taking longer, and would also constitute a drain on alliance finances with the inability to recoup at least the initial cost of said growth program.

Or, alternatively, micros should just go for Green (or whatever the highest is) and if anyone tries to push them off, so be it: then they're beige, which has a higher bonus anyway

Once upon a time, a brave unknown artist by the name of Mystic Mac (now known as Kiloist II cause no one liked that gimmick), drew a really bad picture out of love for those once known as Ordo Paradoxia... They became known as La Mafia... While we were a match made in heaven, we have fallen out of love and they declared to us they wanted to move on, we wish them the best moving forward, it's okay, we've both learned and we'll move forward with a broken heart and provide to our next lover where we lacked with each other. However, the reminder was there, and it hurt. So we did what any rational ex would do... We had to dispose of the reminder.. Disclaimer: Someone totally jacked our idea for this, we did it the night before they posted their video we were just to drunk too post it.. P.S. For those who can't figure it out La Mafia and Bad Company are no more.

Allow new players (while in first beige) to attack a specific nation(bot) for training. This can be part of the tutorial to teach new player the basics of war, with some reward being given at the end of the attacks/war. Written by @Ripper &OP

Every category of resource on the market has incredibly slim margins which suggests alliances have massive stockpiles banked up that aren't used. Combined with the new war mechanics that don't hurt infrastructure as much from getting beiged, there seems to be a lot more saving than what's necessary. I remember before I came out of VM that margins were in the 100s. Now, they're rarely even 100. Also, prices are incredibly low for manufactured goods. Typically, people are selling raws at low prices to accumulate cash. If manufactured goods are sold low for cash, that suggests warchests weren't spent enough since so much is left over to sell. The exception atm seems to be lead, but then you look at the munitions market and it's just wtf?

If someone has 100k of a resource, it’s unlikely all will sell before a bunch of people edge out the offer with better deals in smaller batches. So while a huge sum of money or resources does make it easier to play the market; much of it has to do with how much time people are spending edging out other offers posted & repeating.

Any? Kinda high. I understand having a minimum for handguns but hunting rifles should of stayed at 18 Do not see how this is constitutional in any form. Who's ensuring the Sheirff isnt being biased and abusing this power. As a liberal I am against this as it does infringe on a legal abiding citizens to obtain a gun, which is protected by the Second Amendment. I get this, and tbh I agree with the requirement of a safety course to be taken. Everyone who plans to own a gun needs to know how to handle it safely. Lol this is a stupid term and I'm sure a federal judge will strike this one down as well. I understand the reason behind this but yes, in a dire situation, this makes it difficult and imo it's the responsibility of the owner, not the government, on how secure your weapons are in your own property. Ridiculous term - if a person is a legal abiding citizen who passes every check, they shouldn't he denied. Abuse of power Good thing I dont live in Oregon A bit on inconvienence, and considering Americans are the least patient people in the world, I dont see how this will work out. 3,500$ isnt a reasonable amount so not sure how they can charge that. It would only ensure the poor cannot obtain a gun for hunting or self defense purposes so Overall, I agree with your assessment. For once a liberal like me agrees with a conservative. This is unconstitutional and I hope Oregon makes the right choice and vote no on this bill

Welcome to Orbis...I don't know how i became an official greeter..it's probably due to my advancing years and my propensity for pointless (but good natured) conversation. Enjoy the show.

One person can't "run train." That's not how that works. You're probably a little confused as to why your circlejerks aren't working either, I suspect.

And what's a mid tier alliance anyway? Do you mean mid tier, as in cities? Yeah let's sponsor NPO and BK god knows they're a bunch of impoverished peasants who can't afford to fight! Lol Or do you mean alliances more like The Federation? One's which questionable leadership (I'm told in this specific instance) who'd probably break the moment they come into a competent opponent? I mean at that point everyone would sponsor just a few alliances. Good news for me, I think I'd rank higher than most on that list. Real good news for Nova Riata. Survived as a micro for 100+ days of war? Talk about holding the line to the bitter end. Most of these "mid tier" alliances would probably shatter if a disciplined opponent came at them.

I spent somewhere around 200k gas and munitions each last war, was that not enough for you?

I think it lasted long enough. Kind of pointless to think about whether it was to long or short now.

Oooh, a quality radio show not on Friday night. See you then guys!

Can we just put to rest this myth that "tiering works" already? If the last few years have taught us nothing, it's that it has no potential whatsoever to be a force multiplier, an overpowered strategy, or any impact whatsoever on political decision making at a high level.

After centuries of thriving as the only country in Orbis with a population made up of animals of different species, The Creature's Republic of Anthropomorphia is no more. Feeling discriminated against due to laws passed by Anthropomorphia's revered leader Alpha Dog prohibiting most of the dirty habits pigs engaged in, the pigs of the country rallied pigs all over the world to help them initiate what historians now refer to as the "Aporkalypse". They engineered a powerful strain of swine flu that infected and eventually killed every mammal that wasn't a pig, boar, hog, or hippo (out of respect to Buorhann, whose research helped them create the disease). The few mammals that were able to avoid being infected on the day the flu was released quickly fled to other countries, but Alpha Dog was not a part of that lucky few, and he was replaced as leader by the similarly named Alpha Pig. Alpha Pig has renamed the country Porkistan, and despite an almost unanimous condemnation from other countries for its act of biological warfare, easily the worst in Orbis history, Porkistan remains an active member of global affairs and trade, albeit one with a weakened bargaining position due to the depletion of its population and economy. The fall of Anthropomorphia is a tragedy not just because of how it happened but because it means the only country in the world where every species lived in relative harmony, where dogs, cats, predators, and prey could live and work together, is no more, and it's unlikely that we'll ever see something like it ever again.

Oh hell no. That's Big Momma T right there. ( T stands for Toothy, she was rather mouthy around us ). I'll be coming for you, Jroc.

Haha, well, you're on point with that.

I see that your slots are occupied, Ivan. I'm sorry that we could not enlighten you to the ways of Dio. Yet.

If a war happened from 'miscommunication', you have some serious leadership issues.

It's amusing to see the votes change around.

You know, what else, I love? I freaking, love the hell, out of some, commas. Going to report you for your over use of commas. Poor thing is getting abused.

Well, gotta start somewhere.

You have to play Battleships with fireworks.

Well that just upsets me.

Booted for spamming? LOL Wouldn't happen. That'd be the last thing to get booted for.

Do you need assistance with endowment, PiZ?

I'm waiting for the roll over DoW.

Women do.

You've liked my posts before. It's ok to feel a little dirty. If it makes you feel any better, I enjoyed it.

I wouldn't be surprised if this is what Paragon wanted, a rolling of Covenant.

It's The Great UPN War?!

Hodor

All this tells me is that someone needs to declare on EoS and just punt them out.

Great VE War was 2 rounds for sure.

Also keep in mind that Rose and VE hasn't jumped in this war (yet). Whereas the Great VE War had all of the Top 10 involved iirc.

New picture(s) will be up later today.

Oh snap, thanks for the correction. Didn't realize it went that long.

Just wanted to quote this.

What bothers me more about this war, is that VE signed the treaty with UPN. UPN shortly declared. I'm assuming VE knew this war was happening one way or another, hence the treaty signing to help curb any reactions to UPN ( Which didn't work apparently ). Yet VE wasn't even fully ready militarily and they have yet to declare on anybody who declared on UPN. So what was the point of signing the treaty? Just to officially announce friendship? Couldn't UPN have waited a day or two to give VE time to finish build up before declaring if they were planning this? I'm left to think that Impero set this in motion so that his overall goal of getting Covenant rolled worked afterall, but that would give his manipulation skills too much credit if this is the truth of the matter. "We'll back you buddy! Oh wait, nevermind, we'll just sit this one out. Have fun!"

We're still not done hitting you Isolater. =3

Watch out, got a YouTube linker to speak for himself.

Shellhound is in t$? Or was that statement to Alpha?

If I told you I am from and live in the South ( Mississippi to be exact ), would you still agree with them?

This is Shadow here Today I bring to you something new. I recently had a chat with a guy from BK. Nothing opsec. I was basically trolling around(like usual) and he fell prey to my trolls. However what happened after that is interesting so I'll post our chat here. I aint doing screenshots since that will be too tiresome. Enjoy!! ShepardN7METoday at 9:48 PM Did you used to be in BK or in the IQ ? I'm kinda new so. TheShadowToday at 9:48 PM i used to ™ then i found that i was wasting my potential in BK ShepardN7METoday at 9:50 PM I have been in Bk for 30 days already in two departments (confirmed) and 1 I'm waiting to get a role in. TheShadowToday at 9:50 PM i mean good i dont really understand how being in 2 departments even helps but if you enjoy it, good i dont really understand how people can live satisfied while being bound down with rules and stuff i dont get why people cant understand PnW is a game and infrastructure and military is just useless trash I dont all these papered alliances have filled this game with crap and i am the only bastard who is actually free i love my freedom i dont want to join alliances that curb this freedom of mine away and lock it ShepardN7METoday at 9:54 PM Departments increase potential for promotions. Yeah while currently I am at 90% tax untill 23rd then i goes to 60 TheShadowToday at 9:54 PM like i care ShepardN7METoday at 9:54 PM AN Opps TheShadowToday at 9:54 PM you are satisfied with a promotion but what is the meaning of a promotion tell me one thing you actually did that made you actually think out of the box made you worry have you ever experienced the thrill of winning a close war or having lost one and patting your oppoenet on the back and saying well played? the answer is a no you havent experienced the thrills of a war as the underdog neither have you raided a top 10, got countered and still won all the wars have you? ShepardN7METoday at 9:57 PM I see your point. TheShadowToday at 9:58 PM and yet you are satisfied as long as you are promoted and get lower taxes you arent playing the game you are just logging into it and i rest my case i dont even know why i am telling you this lmao ShepardN7METoday at 9:59 PM Can I have your nation link I'm instersted. TheShadowToday at 9:59 PM https://politicsandwar.com/nation/id=65927 So, what is the point of this? Nothing IDK why I am making this post. maybe cause I'm sad. maybe I'm retarded. But who cares.....

Have you forgotten that Empy, TGH, and DB are all on black?
