>SPQR merges with another micro >new name Carthage

And just like that more ties into BK's group. But hey we aren't supposed to talk about that.

Carthago DoE Despite their recent foray into the export of unholy builds and questionable potatoes, the Egyptians had one again reverted back to their ancient past-times of pyramid building and pixel-farming upon the banks of the River Nile. As yet another mild winter melted into an Egyptian summer worthy of the name, mysterious rumours of a power beyond the land of the Nile, reached the ears of the Egyptian people. The tales of Rome, carried by roaming traders and mighty ships, swept through the empire, as the emissaries of Egypt followed them to their source... A collision of people, culture and empire ensued; two nations linked by trade, history and ideals merged to form something greater, something new. From Egyptian Empire and SPQR, Carthago was born. A land of elephants, boats, salt-induced flashbacks and terrible historical references. _______________________________________________________________ ?Supreme Council ?

Imagine posting this and thinking you have a hot take.

After that nasty accident from ParaCov, I wasn’t sure if Covenant would be able to walk again. Years of therapy seems to be paying off! I’m rooting for you guys! You can walk again!

Pardon? Pika and Gator are Soup Kitchen members. They are currently in Food Pantry/Metallica, which are extensions of Soup. If Kos for example created an extension and called it “Farkistan” - it would not be a 1v3, it would still be a 1v2 as Kos is a Fark member and merely using a separate AA as an extension. Spinning is not your forte, Moonshadow. I suggest you stick with your multis.

Someone needs to deal with Gators insolence. He marred my record by hacking the RNG last night, causing a ludicrous moderate success GA and winning with 2 resistance left.

@Khai Jäger What are the Powerball numbers

This is hilarious coming from Camelot.

gay

I'm thirsty for new resources so why not add water, a vital resource for human survival. Water would function similiar to food but it could serve more functions (dams for power, etc.) Water would also be required like food, and unlike food can be contaminated or polluted by nukes. Contaminated water would raise disease and lower population. To lower contaminated water levels you would build water treatment plants. Water production itself could be increased by a water reclamation plant national project. Things could be changed about water, but all I want to see is water as a resource. Also remember what Uncle Jonas says "Listen to masses and respect my ideas" ^what water would look like kinda

All the loves, my old allies.

just so demkn doesn't complain

Hey it's just another non-ally peripheral tie of not-our-sphere, okay

Boyce did that on his own, no one called upon him. As such, he has been countered by Chaos. “Their one man protectorate” - Food Pantry and Metallica are both extensions of Soup Kitchen, not protectorates. (This information can be found on the alliance page). With all the missed context, I’m gonna have to start calling you Noctis soon

I like this.

Congratulations to BK.

I knew demon was a girl

Her mom, her sisters, and all her aunts. I can personally attest to them all... Apart from Aunt Cathy. She accidentally coughed on my food and it put me off to be honest.

Cool story and all, but does her mom have it goin on?

Wow... A Camelot announcement that doesn't include "@" Everyone in the title....

filthy westerners non weebs the time has come weebs rise up glory to dai nippon dai nippon banzai (Permanent casus belli - Weeb Imperialism)

Symptoms =/= Cause Imagine if there was a certain material required to progress past city 10. We'll call it unobtanium. It is only profitable for nations below 10 cities to produce it. If you produce it at 10 or above, you will be running a huge loss and not be able to get anywhere. The material is only obtainable via a mechanism that makes it take 20 days to fully deliver and the seller has to manually send it to you twice at ten day intervals. Your ability to grow and your destructive capacity are wholly determined by how much unobtanium you can accumulate. You can also lose it too and you will lose the cities you bought with it as the unobtanium is required to sustain them. Most players who want to play long-term try to grow out of the city 10 range but find few sellers of unobtanium relative to their demand. This means it requires a decent amount of individual initiative to find the salesmen for it if your alliance does not recruit or have a contract with an alliance that does. Even if your alliance does recruit, as most people are trying to get out of the city 10 range because they want mechanical progression, any supply is temporary and contingent on additional new players joining the game. This also goes for external acquisitions, as a healthy population growth is required to replace the previous salesmen who move onto becoming buyers. Population growth slows over time and comes down to a trickle and at a certain point falls well below the replacement level and exacerbates the situation. Most people who began the game as teenagers or college-age with it being a large percentage of the playerbase decide to dial back their activity meaning even less people actively pursuing the unobtanium salesmen proactively when not many had before increasing the gap between those able to obtain and not. The game lasts for an additional 10 years with these trends continuing. There end up being two solutions: one is someone takes on the administrative burden of finding the external salesmen scarce as they are. Most external salesmen sell at much higher prices which mean you will obtain half the unobtanium you used to a month as you'll only get one shipment after a 10 day interval and then you'll need to pay again and wait another 10 days. There are two ways to get past it: the micromanagement approach where a government member seeks the best rate sellers compulsively and the other is having at least a 1:1 ratio of people who never stop being salesmen and don't go past city 10 fueling a wealth transfer to the other sector of the alliance. Most players are unwilling to give up the unobtanium they already have and either don't recruit or can't recruit enough people who can be convinced to remain as unobtanium salesmen at favorable rates to the bigger people. The alliances that do have this benefit end up having the newer players and people who remain as permanent salesmen funnel the unobtanium to the other members who grow at an exponential pace to radical heights and end up being way ahead. Many players quit over time for a variety of reasons and don't see a browser game in their long-term outlook, but many who stick around are playing it as a primarily single-player game where they check in on their stats or admire their join date occasionally. As most alliances never kick anyone out and the culture of avoidance of booting people for inactivity is prevalent, no one does so. Another culturally prevalent thing is to keep an alliance going past the point of it having sufficient activity due to a historical legacy or it being a service to the players wanting to continue to play inactively. Disbandment is seen as failure and no one wants to be the one who disbanded their alliance. Few new players join and as the only way to have an impact on the game is to be someone's perpetual unobtanium farm or be a high government official, but since most alliances are inactive, there's very little potential maneuvering to do for the remaining chiefs who no longer have the warbands they used to at their disposal and play conservatively and the scope for potential action is limited, making it even more pointless. Most alliances continue to lose large numbers of veteran players due to them forgetting to log in past a certain point and when war comes, they are too lazy to do much and it incentivizes more to quit. Fewer and fewer new players join with only a couple of alliances having the staff willing to service them. Nothing about the mechanics ever changes and the admin team is aware of the trends and is at peace with them as the game is not a focus as they did not project the game to last as long as it had.

Actually, cam has a history of chaining non-chaining treaties.................. you meant speshul

@Daveth "From slave, to Emperor, to slave again"

Yay my name idea of “Food Pantry” got used. Pretty happy about that. Ill go back to sitting over here, drinking my tea. ? ☕️

Is this bait?

They do change it up. There's no denying that. It's the way how they handle some of the FA issues that clouds the moves they make. As for "been really good for this game" - Ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh................ We can debate on that one. I can see both sides of that particular statement.

04/20 09:11 pm - Graveland declared war on Empire for the reason of "In defense of Fark!". Thanks for your report, Captain James. I will send the bill for my services to Fark after the war is over.

Many often talk about the need and their desire to have more fair wars, yet even the most "ballsy" rarely ever do it. This war despite the first strike advantage is not anywhere near 100% favourable for soup, especially looking at that tiering sheet. Respectable move for your first war, I hope others take this as an example. Well done. PS: Kastor... lmao And James.... get off the crack.

I was just wondering if the mods could correct the spelling of "Politician" in the forum reputation settings? I'm not quite sure what a "Politican" is. lmao

TFW Covenant is relevant again.

...that I can't apply to join this club. I feel like we should be E X C L U S I V E. That's what Resplendent is all about; that EXCLUSIVITY. Ahh man, you're missing out if you ain't in with the clique.

As a protecterate of Camelot congrats. As someone who really doesn't like thomass, really!??

So when are the Romans gonna salt the lands?

Did someone need a counter on Pika and Gator?

I hope certain people in this thread did some stretching before attempting such hard mental gymnastics. Whew lad.

Yes

Theres no way this isn't a masterful troll at this point in time.

You again? Now you're really too dumb to quit.

Pathetic, take the suffering and fight through it.
