Many active with us on our discord have already seen the news, but for those of you that may have missed it. ORB Gaming has put together everything you need to know about Alex's new gaming Overhaul, bringing us PWv2. You can check it out here.

Shifty coming in here with a live, on the spot performance of how to conduct FA. Our lead role today goes to Thomas and with a supporting cast of allies. We present to you, Springtime for Shifty: A Dank Romp with Afrika Korps and BoC. You're probably all wondering how it got this, let's rewind: And that folks is how you cycle back and worth like an elliptical.

Looks like just a aesthetic change. Boring. We need a economic and military overhaul.

BoC, just wreck AK. Stop being scared.

I mean if Sean was "OK" with being attacked and then asked for help you realize he's just baiting both of you right.

Again, they state you don't need a gun for protection, yet have people use guns for their protection even with unarmed populaces. Acid is easy to use. I'd imagine the number of people who accidentally spill a drink largely exceeds the number of people who accidentally shoot a gun. Guns are only glamorous because of the gun debate. Explosives are much more lethal and easier to make than a gun, yet guns are chosen as the media won't stop talking about it until the next shooter. Would the government really use mortars against civilians? Would you want to live under a government that uses mortars against civilians? If IRA tactics are used (fire one shot and bail), then wouldn't the entire attack take place within the mortar's OODA?

To whom?

Cool. I'm sorry that happened to your community. *24. I said make, not obtain. Guns are obviously easier as we have ~400 to 600 million in the country, whereas explosives are more regulated. In a country with no pools, there would be very few drownings. In a hypothetical country with laser guns, that country would lead the world in laser gun deaths. As Inst pointed out, guns are frequently used because they are sensationalized. The shooter effectively monopolizes the media for the next month or two and are brought up in national politics frequently years later. On the other hand, the two or three attempted mail bombers since 2016 have had almost no attention once they were caught. The Austin bomber received very little national media attention. Granted, part of the reason is their lack of a sizeable body count. However, I stand by my statement that bombs are more effective. You brought up schools earlier in your post. Are you aware that the Bath School Massacre is the deadliest attack on an American school and it didn't involve any firearms? You would be surprised how easy it is to make a bomb. I bet you have most, if not all the materials at your home. TM 31-210 is out on the internet for whatever reason. I'll be saving this for my "nobody is coming for your guns" responses, if you don't mind.

So please, explain to me how it would work, because UK is not faring too well. https://www.npr.org/2017/07/29/540214675/acid-attacks-at-epidemic-lev http://www.gunfacts.info/gun-control-myths/guns-in-other-countries/ https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1196941/The-violent-country-Europe-Britain-worse-South-Africa-U-S.html Compared to the USA. https://ucr.fbi.gov/crime-in-the-u.s/2016/crime-in-the-u.s.-2016/tables/table-12 Books of Joyce Lee Malcolm and John Lott even expose that the lowest crime rate was around the 17 century after the government allowed to use guns for self-defence. As suicides goes, you may be correct. But I may say that at least in Australia the opposite is true. https://pdfs.semanticscholar.org/526a/200e5586c3feaf984027fed9106ff5941a81.pdf And by the way, what I said was something similar to Cesare Becaria. Wasn't made by me. https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/92090-false-is-the-idea-of-utility-that-sacrifices-a-thousand “False is the idea of utility that sacrifices a thousand real advantages for one imaginary or trifling inconvenience; that would take fire from men because it burns, and water because one may drown in it; that it has no remedy for evils, except destruction. The laws that forbid the carrying of arms are of such a nature. Such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants; they serve rather to encourage than to prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed man.”

Man, that looks hard! What game are they playing?

Oh god, seeing Thomas and Morgan handle FA is giving me a stroke. Have you two not learned anything over the years!?

Tell me, Sage of the West. Have you ever saw how a mass shooting in Israel usually ends? It ends when a civilian takes the terrorist down with a gun. You can't really believe that those kids could defend themselves with books. They walk into schools due to being a area that doesn't allow guns, as it is the case in almost every mass shooting in America.

Correct! Having armed guards that can shoot people trying to kill you is a way of keeping you safe. Maybe (and keep with me as it may be hard to follow), maybe if people had guns they would protect themselves as well. In all seriousness why do you guys think there are fire extinguisher in buildings? So you don't need to relay on firefighters while the fire is roasting your nerves.

Rock out with your BoC out I for one would like to see AK hit BoC defensively so hard that it splits into Terradoxia and Order of Storms and then spontaneously bursts into flames.

Wow, may BoC rest in peace. You attack our protectorate, we triple slot the three of you who attacked and you choke on yourselves. If anything, Thomas shouldn't be leader. That would be a start to putting your alliance in the right direction.

Making every new player that joins you guys either quit or become brain damaged. Reminds me of old NAE/ every micro by new players i love how you mention that you guys are like the third generation of people who have tried this shit and it’s not bringing up any red flags lmao

Im throwing up

Then why are foreign politicians guarded by guns if their countries are supposedly free of gun crime? The right of who shall not be infringed? The people, not the militia. The Oxford Dictionary from the times also use "well-regulated" in the context of "well functioning" as opposed to "restricted." "A well regulated militia" is the motive stated, but the operative right is the second part of the amendment, "the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed." Allow? The what of the people? The right? You don't allow a right. We have that unalienable right from birth. That would be on par of "allowing" someone to vote. Imagine if Trump said "Well, I guess I'll allow California to vote this election." It is very on topic. If a criminal can't obtain a gun, they'll use another tool, such as acid. Britain is a prime example. Why? They're used at least as frequently or more frequently in defense than in crimes. (Source) (Source)

Ikr. Living in Montana, I died three times in a school shooting, got shot 10 times in my home, and was killed in the back alley just last night. All jokes aside, meh. Living in a high firearm per person state, I don't notice firearm crimes often. Sounds like a city problem to me.

Ok I'll complain now WHY WAS HE DEFECTIVE, YOU GAVE IT TO ME BECAUSE IM A TRANSRACIAL BLACK SEMISEXUAL HELIUM BALLOON.

Today marks the three year anniversary of the founding of County Éire. (The original name of my nation). This nation has been through multiple wars both military and nuclear. This nation has been through multiple alliance, the first being treasure island and the current being Empyrea. Long live County Éire!

A turd in nice packaging is still a turd.

If you have no idea how to do this, what are the root cause and what would be the real effects then why do you support gun regulations? Reality is based on facts and time after time we are staring at the same results, until now no place on Earth has ever seen a decrease in crime rates where gun control has taken place.

Yes because the black market is as easy as going to your parents gun closet and grabbing a bunch of guns. And its been shown that if you make it harder to kill yourself, you are less likely to do it. https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/struck-living/201012/can-obstacle-prevent-suicide Also it's much harder to save a person with a bullet in their brain than a person that slit their wrists or popped a bunch of pills. I guess its a good thing stuff like mace doesn't exist. I say its better to get rid of thousands of problems than one imaginary benefit (i can just type random made up shit too!) In the US alone, you have kajillions of criminal uses of firearms every year (see i did it again). We get rid of all those guns, criminal threats drop, you dont need to arm your police any more, and then cops stop killing people by accident... its crazy how this spirals down to more and more positive things. But I get it, guns are fun to shoot, and they give you the illusion of security. I just dont see that as enough justification to let every jackass walking down the street have one.

I think you should go with the flag that loses the vote, just to spite this community.

First of all, you can get guns via black market, you don't see criminals and drug dealers waiting in line to hand their weapons to the government. Even if those weapons were purchased legally we still must support the right to bear arms, as human brutality is eternal. Better to have a thousand benefits than one imaginary problem. Jesus, on the USA alone you have billions of defensive usage of weapons every year, those people would be dead if they had to relay on the kindbess of the aggressor. You can make homemade bombs with just a few search on the internet, no need to have PhD. The argument that people that commit suicide wouldn't do so in other conditions is ridiculous. As we may see in Australia the rate of suicide by firearms indeed decreased, they are now cutting their wrists or hanging themselves. The principle of having a weapon is to defend yourself against attacks. Giving up your right is a submission and leave you as a prey on a duck hunt season.

For the love of all that is holy can we have a simple way to buy/sell Infrastructure/Land in all cities using the Import/Export feature. How is this not a thing already ? #MakeithappenAlex to show your support

An alliance who failed so many times, that it was a meme before Pantheon was, you can't really have high expectations.

There are no brakes on this train

Viselli? Thomas?? Morgan??! Please god make it stop I’m having flashbacks to valyria.

there is a preview function ?

If AK grows a pair and tells daddy BK to stand aside they could possibly do it.

I want to partecipate, here's my meme

You know what else sucks? Your alliance.

No kidding.

#51, 48K score, 80 members, 600 average score iirc. NPO, BK, you guys have competition.

Free raid

Powerful Alliance 48k score Pick one

First off -- yeah, that's actually pretty accurate. (The asking for advice bit.) As said before, we're reforming. An officer tried to coup us before realizing that you have to be an heir to do that. And by that time, they kicked everyone out. The leader then abandoned us and put me in charge. I'm now working on rebuilding the alliance to what it once was thru diplomacy, good HR, loans and grants, friendly community, and general kick-ass. I opened this forum because I wanted help on a relatively simple decision, not to be insulted. We might be on our last legs, but to hell with it, if I'm not going to do my best to Hopak on them.

Obviously he's asking for advice for which flag fits best on the coffin of his terrible alliance.

Las Labes was literally the main reason I ever used Discord back when Rose used Slack. Look forward to seeing you open up again \o/

Well now that I'm back, you can expect the return of Las Labes! It will be a casino based discord server, and yes... You will be able to buy in with PnW money to gamble and in the end... Cash out! WE HAVE: Roulette! Russian Roulette! Slots! BlackJack! Chicken Fights! (totally legal e-chickens) Prices are still in flux (Math wizards are doing their best to get the most bang for your buck) but in the meantime respond on here if you have questions! How it will work: So Las Labes will run on a weekly Power Hour basis. You will get to buy-in before it starts, get to gamble for an entire hour*, and then you will either cash-out or just deposit in your personal bank within Las Labes** to save for another power hour. VIP Program We also have a payout program where VIPS get a 17% extra payout bonus, as well as access to the VIP Lounge in the server! Message for details. Keep an eye out for next Friday! The very First Power Hour will happen then! Las Labes CEO Tal Vasa *the server will lock you out of the gambling servers when you are done. **your money is at your disposal at any time outside of the PowerHour.

Strangely enough, it turns out that people who are new to something often don't actually know what the hell they're doing. Mindblowing stuff really, but the numbers don't lie.

Ever notice the fact that the politicians who want to take ppls guns away claiming they dont need them, are surrounded by people with guns "for their protection"?

Nazi Memes/jokes dont count as sufficient evidence of Nazism. It hasnt even been confirmed if the leader or members are nazis. So I will not backtrack my statement. Until any sufficent evidence rolls up, I'll stand my ground. Avatars dont count as sufficient evidence, I need screenshots of them talking about Nazism being good and how it's a great system, something that shows the obvious not something that is assumed.

We're going to have to spray you off with a hose before we let you in. Don't worry it's safe, we do the same thing with Lordship

I would LOVE to remove decimals in this game. No more OCD-triggering 0.8 lead in your nation, no more having to work out how much infra you need to get to 1500 from 1433.73. I would also like to have an option to buy infra to a certain point, e.g “Buy infra to: x”. It would work like if you had 1250 infra and you put “Buy infra to 1500” the system would buy 250 infra. This would eliminate the need for calculations in rebuilding.

As someone that lives 3.5 miles away from Sandy Hook Elementary. frick all the gun nuts, ban them all. Realistically tho, there are too many guns out there now to ban them. The fetishizing of guns in the US is absolutely ridiculous.

You hit the nail on the head. Every month the redemption counter will reset, and you can then redeem 6 more credits toward nation bonuses.

Well the way I see it is, I would donate for a friend, and split the donation money halfway with them, but I wanted to clarify whether that was against the rules or not before I would even try it. And exactly what I mean, I may donate for a friend of mine this month because he has been out of work for a few months, but I would likely split the money halfway.
