Friendly neighborhood advocate of leaving old allies behind and finding new ones from time to time here. Stating you're leaving being formal allies while still willing to get each others backs if push comes to shove is not breaking ties and getting new ones, it's appearing to break ties and stack on more. Part of the reason you all were hit in the last war. Something I've said often in my time here. You don't have to ally your friends. You can also ally your enemies. Politics is politics. Perhaps you and a past enemy have a new common enemy, or common goal. You can work with people you don't like to achieve things. When you constantly work with your same friends, you stagnate politics. If you'll always get their back with or without treaties while being a papered alliance, you again stagnate politics. If you do intend on breaking your treaties, I hope the next time you're involved together in a war it's against one another. That would make a far more interesting story, and you'd be surprised how fun it can be fighting friends. The point is, don't break the treaty and still support each other as if you hadn't. Break the treaty and forge your own paths independent of one another. Don't fall back and lean upon your former friends simply because it's easy.

Measuring a summer's war, I only finds it slips away to beige, The hours, they bring me pain. Tangerine, Tangerine, Living reflection from a dream; I was her ally, she was my meatshield, And now a thousand turns between. Thinking how it used to be, Does she still remember times like these? To think of us again? And I do. RIP TKR-TCW

Damnit TKR, must you take everything that made us special? First you cramped our style as another fantasy series themed orange alliance, and now you even leak? That was the one thing we were good at...

"Take it from me, the dude who has consistently had the exact same FA stance and allies, and who accused CoS, Rose, and t$ of maintaining secret treaties with EMC despite literally fighting them last war.... the current state of politics is everyone's fault but mine." - A credible person, 2019.

Y'all can thank me for my secret recording skills.

From the desk of Uncle Traveling Matt The best nation ever, Fraggle Rock Greetings Friends! It's been a while since we have given an update. This shouldn't take more than five minutes to read, and forty minutes to understand. So we're out of our nuke building phase soon. It's true, we can't do it anymore. You cheap bastards have cut off our funding and 700 nukes is fine. Thanks for the cash, giggles, and theft it took to get here. So what's next Fraggle? Great question. Since we are defined by what some consider the dumbest way to build, we are going in the opposite direction. That's right.... conventional build, with a giant pile of nukes in the basement. The power will be turned back on for the first time in three years. Banks and recycling plants will reopen the doors. No more living in the dark and filth we are currently in. We plan to join an alliance. An incredible offer was made for us to run a PR program. We plan to use Fraggle skills to accelerate growth and new opportunities. It's been fun doing nothing for years. Time to do slightly more while not burning the place down. Then again, it's Fraggle, we never go anywhere without matches. Many Hugs, Uncle Traveling Matt

For those of you who enjoyed "secret treaty whining" and "criticizing anyone who actually tries to do anything about the sphere dynamic they purported to found their sphere to combat", the first seven times IQ did it, I have excellent news for you...

I don't spend much time in this subforum, so my apologies if this has been suggested before. I wanted to suggest an increase in the number of alliance government tiers (Leader, Heir, Officer) from three to five, as well as the ability to enable/disable bank access to individual gov members. If five isn't sufficient for some alliances, maybe the ability to add additional fields up to a certain amount with custom titles? I just feel it would make gov organization a lot easier and less restricted.

So no change just picking up two top 10 upper tier alliances.

There is a fifth dimension beyond that which is known to Orbis. It is a dimension as vast as space and as timeless as infinity. It is the middle ground between light and shadow, between science and superstition, and it lies between the pit of man’s fears, and the summit of his knowledge. This is the dimension of imagination. It is an area which we call ... The OoC Zone. But wait is this Shifty, who really is Shifty? And regardless of this, is the API legit OoC? Well today it is. This is what you call "Shifty" reporting in on.......SNN Now take it as you will, what if an alliance in the top 10, one regarded as bold and fearless at one point was suddenly found helpless? We take our scene: a recovering TKR, an alliance that's taken a hit, but is slowly coming back. Perhaps, it shows promise of once again reclaiming former glory, but what if for a moment; its greatest enemies lay within. This is the secret of the API code. A code which grants you the ability to hand over data scouring powers to a benevolent bot. At its greatest potential, a government member could use his or her permissions to view valuable member info such as warchest, spy count, and money held. Likewise, it holds bank info. Now the plot thickens as 2 TKR government members have given away their API keys and access to valuable spy information for future war plans. Where are the traitors? What compensation do they seek? When will it damageTKR? Who did this info go to? Why did they do this? How was this plot conceived? Find out more next time, on the next episode of SNN.

Not quite sure why people are so concerned about it. Both Syndisphere and IQ are still much larger and have a much bigger economy to support themselves with, even if TCW still held a secret treaty with TKR. I personally find it interesting to see CoS going with papered ties now, and I'm curious as to where TCW will be going. Goodluck with the move though. Maybe a time will come when there's multiple "smaller" spheres to balance out the playing field and make the game interesting again (Granted it'd inevitably go back to a 2 sphere game eventually).

Best of luck to TCW and their drumming

Not trying to garner support. Only pointing out to the fact this person somehow decided harassing a nation with a score of 50.00 was a worthy endeavour. EDIT (20/03/2019): Where it says "buyer", it should say "seller." My bad. EDIT (21/03/2019): They have decided to call off their warning. ________

Shifty, leak leg pics from there to me ?

Obviously my voodoo magic to break up EMC worked. But joking aside its a mutual break up, Nizam and I agreed it would be best for both of us. TKR's got some great members, and overall they're a great bunch of people but all good things must come to an end this break allows us to move forward with my goals for tCW's new FA direction. I know several alliances who wanted to work with tCW but didn't want to be tied to TKR (Which is entirely understandable), and this is the chance to embark on those, it also gives tCW a new identity so we aren't "TKR Lite". Once again Shifty's leaks preempt a planned move..... still I'm looking forward to the OWF announcement for tCW's new path and plans. ;,P

My first celebrity SNN and Slack screenshots OWF appearance? I’m finally famous!

Join The Golden Horde. I love people who send those kind of messages.

Messaging a 50 NS nation is beyond stupid, it's not like you were going to buy any huge amount from them they should just ignore you.. Also why the frick is he bringing up religion? Especially given KT continually raid Islamic themed alliances and nations.

Yeah but one ton of iron turns into more than one ton of steel. Lead has generally been higher than munitions on that basis, steel plants still net profit I suspect (though potentially less than iron mines, depending on individual factors). 3 tons iron + 3 tons coal = 9 tons steel, if anything we broke physics

Shifty will always be here, he is the OWF and everything in it and outside of it. The first post and the last post. He can giveth upvotes and he can taketh them. For he is Shifty.

It's harder to virtue signal about decreasing ties if suddenly just because you cancel treaties you can't essentially maintain the exact same treaty dynamics.

Leaks help keep the game interesting in my opinion.

i was saving my suggestions for after admin finished school... but heer u go i suppose admin can get as granular as they will allow got lazy with naming everything so feel free to suggest as many things as yall can think of it can be layered according to category to fit on mobile devices...with +/- expand/collapse buttons im sure someone with more motivation can come up with a better mockup of how it would actually be implemented in game instead of in google forms :3 rawr

Oof - slack logs.

>getting this angry over an embargo

Well, looking at him carefully, it seems he's also been buying an awful lot of resources as well and selling steel somewhat... it only barely adds up, but given 33 days, no military ever, and only 2 tiny-ass wars, it's... barely plausible, considering his commerce. He really should be doing raiding though, he'd have a lot more money already. And he'd lose less if he started winning wars instead ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ What I can't figure out is how he's only been hit twice; he's worth a free 1.7 mil every war ? And posting on the OWF won't? Join an alliance, man. Doesn't really matter which one, but there's no security in obscurity; either be a raider or a farmer, there's no third option. EDIT: TGH is a solid option and I think you'd be happy there ? (Just, y'know, you will need a military; that's true wherever you go though)

To be fair he has a point, you should prioritise cities early on.. for the cost of 2k infra you could be at 4-5 cities easily.

Today is Nova Empire’s second anniversary since I first created it. I would’ve fathom how big it would be. It has 10 projects and 20 cities with 2.5k infra and 3k land each, not mentioning the millions it makes per day on net income. To those who bought my resources, thank you. Furthermore, I thank the Ming Empire (used to be the og Ragnarok) for supporting my growth.

Eventually this will go full 360 and when KT, TGH and the whole merry band actually go to war no one will believe them till it is to late. That day is when they achieve meme god status and it will be glorious.

KT please crush this rebellion as soon as possible. We don't need this spreading and the Enterprise getting any grandiose ideas for independence.

For ages we have suffered the oppression of the Knights Now it is time for payback. Esquire Templar Exists and recognizes hostilities with the Knights Templar Let the war of Independence begin!

I knew that guy who served us at the diner looked suspiciously like Shifty.....

What kind of !@#$ gets that triggered over an embargo, randomly says that Luis hates muslims, and threatens to put a bounty on a 50 score nation, all while sounding like a middle school bully? I love this game.

Phew guys have you seen his Twitter lately? He’s flying off the rails. Never was a fan of trump but anyone in their right mind can tell he’s not right. Can we talk about how he is still attacking McCain. The dude is dead. What ever happened to respect for the dead? Is horrifying honestly.

Gotta watch out for those loters man, I hear they're bad news.

Ahh, I wouldn't worry anyone who feels the need to threaten a 50ns nation definitely doesn't have the balls to follow through with anything. If you're threatening people that low it's generally because they're the only people you can comfortably beat

RECOGNITION OF HOSTILITIES A goofy looking idiot walked up the warped domain. He walked through the streets of Empyrea seeming like he had no clue where he was heading. He knew exactly where he was going, months of being in such a place had filled him with knowledge of those around. He noticed many trying to catch his eye, yet he avoided eye contact. He moved quite flamboyantly, swaying side to side to portray either sexual interest or a drunken stupor. Yet his goal was not that, it seemed like he moved for naught, but he danced to his target. Eventually, he was apprehended, being far too close to the leaders curtains. He glanced at those who gripped both of his arms. He recognized them. Perfect. He smirked towards the two of them. They gripped his arms tighter, fearing that he was going to break free. Yet he made no such move. “I seek thine Gods.” “Thee who seeks our Gods be foolish.” “I shan’t repeat myself, nor stay long.” “Our Gods grow restless. Speak your peace or leave.” “The Royalist, the man who shan’t respond but hears everything, I have important news.” “Why do I behold this jester?” The gloryful James stood in all of his beauty, his face like chiseled gold, and his shirt allowed the top of his chest to show, allowing the world to see the bricks that built up under patches of hair. “I came to bruit rumors about allies long misguided.” “Shall we seek men to levy? Or tear thee asunder?” “I am but a man who is baseborn. You shan’t fear of my lies as I’m already afraid of the sooth.” “What is the benefit of trusting thee.” “War is brewing. Armies come hither. Their armies are prepared to ambuscade.” “Who dare approach the mighty Empyreans?” The Royalist had arrived and he wanted an answer and so his voice resounded through the halls and the other Empyreans, sans James himself, couldn’t help but fall to their knees. Yet, this the intruder stood tall, without the two people who were guarding his arm. Now he moved flamboyantly once again. Moving his arms in non-aggressive motions while he spoke the truth. “Esquire Templar has declared war on the Knights Templar.” “What was the casus belli?” “Recently, Keegoz has partook in treating his handmaids like strumpets. Just yesterday two were declared dead on the spot.” “So, war it is.” “But whose side will we join, Royalist?” James asked, he always asked too many questions. “Esquire Templar, this will be the last of KT being corrupt.” The Royalist responded, his voice as steel as the weapons he carried. “Certainly so. I bid you all adieu, I shall return with news when it happens.” “Halt. It would be a misconception of yours if thee thinks he can leave.” James responded. The man gave one final curtsy. Catching the Chaos Lord Kyle’s eyes when he did so. After that, he vanished without a trace. “Who has the gall?” James questioned, forcing Empyreans further into the ground under the oppressive feeling of James’ anger. “The man whom the world forgot.” TLDR: EMPYREA DECLARES WAR ON KNIGHTS TEMPLAR, AS THEY ARE A BLOODY JOKE.

We're just alluring them into a false sense of protection. KT won't know when we actually hit them. We'll hit them, and tell them that we're militarizing to hit a micro. Mwahahahahahhaha ahwahahahfahfa ahaha So, just realized this was public. Darn. Now they know.

I actually want this Once I'm low scored, I can flex on the small KT !@#$s

yikes

>rerolls >gets accepted on trial period, regardless of the fact he lied about his identity >constantly breaks raiding rules >gets kicked >plots against KT >gets rolled for it You're a special kind of autist, Shadow. So is Panzer (another guy that was kicked months ago). Have fun getting rolled.

Before KT disbands, yes

No, you got it all wrong. They have to be our protectorate first, THEN we declare on them. It's a prerequisite.

KT man bad

KT man bad

Interesting to see FR/BC become more involved in the meta and seem like less of a pixel hugger safeheaven ?

Would a certain trade bot fall under "some other things"?
