Nah. It's more amusing continuing to fight. Seems more and more drama comes out of Coalition B as the war goes on.

And coalition B members quietly admitting in back channels that they're not happy that their alliance took B's side For ?the ?last?time? NPO has made it clear that they will only fight on BK's side if there's any chance of them losing, not every war!

Wow, 11 whole offensives. Someone's been kicking a loooooot of butt~~~

Fixed

The amazing thing is that NG is the most credible alliance leader in this case

Call it a day guys

This is Shifty bringing in some new news, because it can't be news if it's old. Then it's history. Why would you spy on a secret ally's ally? How can an ally TCW, support Medellin Cartel which has beef with Fark who is NPO's ally? Why Roq dislike MC so much? Will Fark become a battleground? What really was MC's and Fark's bloc that they planned to form really about? More inconclusive action next time, on SNN.

I've often said war is good for the game, and it is, in moderation. The majority of the game has been at war for several months now and from what I've seen and heard is likely going to stay at war for the foreseeable future. The problem we have is both sides are claiming they're winning, or at least aren't losing. Whether your side has done more total damage, or your side currently is fielding large military scores the actual situation is that it's more likely both sides are losing. I don't mean that as any sort of insult. But in general both sides are at minimal infra level for fighting, and thus aren't growing. There's not much in the way of damage left to be dealt. Why not just white peace? It's highly unlikely either side will concede terms to the other as neither side believes it's losing. Why not begrudgingly shake hands and walk away? You can all begin political moves for the next war and let your members recover. Hell, you don't even have to call it a draw, you can list yourself both as victors. There's not much left to accomplish in this war, so call it gg's. Either way, it's time to .... Or keep on fighting and letting the market be inflated 'cus I've some damages to recoup.

Except my coalition betrayed me this time, friend. This is why they can not finish the job on you. They need me. I am them.

Trust me, I wouldn't have agreed to hitting Chaos if there were plans to hit IQ 2.0. That's not my style. I'd just have hit IQ 2.0 from the start. But keep going with that narrative of EMC, it's funny, because there's actual proof of us fighting each other (69 Day War, Knightfall, etc) while... there's plenty of proof where you refuse to have any sort of conflict with BK (Leo/Frawley admitting to it and continuing that support), and instead, aid them over some faulty CB (This current war, also gotta give props to a certain someone about this). Then try to continue to pass it off that you two separated (You didn't, through Kayser shenanigans). Hm.

Kastor figured it out, the war is taking so long to end because NPO wants it to continue and not because Coalition A have an exponentially larger amount of pride than military units.

lmao tendency to take it in the ass in war? coming from Acadia(DEIC)? Hilarious, this is the propaganda I come for.

Friends, see, it's easy to bring peace to Orbis! Forthwith, peace negotiations can start by offering unconditional surrender every fifth Thursday of the month in period of 15:30 to 16:00 hours to the IQ clerks, unless the aforementioned hard working clerks are away, busy with official business in cafeteria and so forth!

How many more threads will there be from supposedly disinterested third parties who altruistically point out that we can, in fact, stop fighting by mutual agreement? It's almost as if we've thought of that and decided not to.

I, for one, support guerrilla warfare. The war should never end and only the most fanatical have the right to inherit the game. It is time that grudges and grievances never heal. It's been 5 years to make nice, build multiple blocs, and get new leaders, the fact is there are only two sides. If things had not gone the way they had, I would have used my increased infra to fund both sides. The victor should be the side without doubt that they will prevail. Every war will only get longer from this. NPO has already started importing/aiding CN players and CN alliances. The game will never return to as it was. It is the final struggle. Alex won't change the mechanics during this war, so this is it. The mechanics won't allow a true victor. The next step is to see one side break as their will always be a greater and a lesser. From there, it is for the survivors to kill each other off. Let the eternal struggle for dominance continue. It does not matter what is lost in war.

Cost: Money - 10,000,000 (Or higher/lower depending on your suggestions) Food - 1,000 Steel: 2,500 (Or higher/lower depending on your suggestions) Keeps 1,000 tons of food safe from any type of war

@Shadowthrone - There’s a difference between “not fighting BK”, “we have no reason to fight BK”, and outright aiding them after their plan leaked to have 2 spheres hit except yours.

You forgot to *Chortle*

See! Someone gets it! (despite the fact that exponentially is used incorrectly here, blast, there goes my pride again!)

I look forward to seeing Fark do absolutely nothing about this.

The Fark/MC breakup was caused by a planned out shitstorm by the members of MC to get rid of Fark and get me out.

I've fought a lot of my TEst brothers in this war, but don't talk shit about them... not always.? If they got your dislike already now, then they're doing something already right . @Zues I'd do it myself, but i've got range sickness in my old age. Can you Khorne-slap him for me?

So, you really see a "logical" explanation and go with option b. Thanks for clarifying.

Oh snap, shifty cast his Ric Romero card

Says the guy that abandoned the alliance he was leading, stole the bank and is in vacation mode... Your credibility is super high! So... Yeah that reads like war dodging to me. Why defend yourself? You are just acting like ever other former and current member of Test.

Tell your alliance leaders to offer their surrender to NG or me. They can have peace very soon if they accept the inevitable.

@Shadowthrone, love. Downvoting is not an answer. Well, it is, but just to another question. Spare some of your precious time to answer the above! Thanks. Edit: Second downvote and no response. I guess you cannot spin that. It smells like victory.

I know, we're pulling a real Clarke aren't we~~~ sorry bout that. ?

Although I do appreciate the memes, can we please get back to the issue at hand? When will this global war end? It's clearly hurting the people of Politics and War. I had a friend who'd only log on once a week and he went into vacation mode!

You guys already gave that nickname to TKR/TCW/Grumpy/Guardian during Knightfall. Pick a new one

Coal. B and BK soliciting aid from NPO, Black and White, 2019.

BK didn't like that you and KT shit on their theme/culture and saw you as salty They didn't like your bullheadedness either, tbqh I would have loved to see a BK, TGH, KT, Guardian, Empryea, GoB sphere it would have been a good thematic fusion and culture blend Anywho, they mostly wanted to see TKR and CoS die which I agreed upon, hence the proper fit for protectorate And yeah, the deal to roll you was ancient af. I'm longer bound to BK sphere so you can have this tid bit if it boosts morale and causes more blood to be spilled. I knew that BK wanted to hit Nova Riata to trigger TKR. Even if it meant cucking KETOG out of it's Chaos war. I knew that NPO would join to boost us. I payed part of my debt to Orion Bank with the remnants of Hyperborea's bank and rebuilt my infra to whale levels to repay Sphinx as a friend and for helping Hyperborea with loans. Literally a few days after I promised to pay him back even during war albeit if it pissed off people, because I knew he'd use it for the TCW/IQ front and it'd prolong the conflict. They decided to attack Yarr and Swagrr, without warning me yet I had just given Gorge access to Solar Knight's archived server for BK Opsec and ally evaluation measures. I had also helped with the negative propaganda campaign on the quitters in Yakuza and I had helped Citadel with leaks/conspirators. I had even joked around why they hadn't done the unthinkable and actually gone total war, but if they did to at least give me fair warning. Alas, they hit my nation anyway and decided to sever any ties with me. So yes, there is more drama and plotting with the IQ sphere than you can imagine. Unfortunately somethings are lost to VC as I preferred to scheme via voice to gauge tone and honesty, as well as to hide logs. I intended to be loyal to the sphere to the end. Now it's ashes to ashes.

Huh? P sure from the start, even when we were crippling you and your allies, we said white peace was an acceptable conclusion. If you've got someone seriously proposing punitive terms to you, I'd be very interested in seeing those logs.

1: We aren’t pushing for peace, we are ready to peace whenever your side is ready. It makes sense if you have to talk to opposing leaders and see their whining. So rather then have pointless arguments that go nowhere they will get a 24 hour period on the first of each month from which to engage in peace talks to avoid wasting time. 2: This whole concept is flawed. This is like having a dog attacking you and being concerned about heart disease in 30 years. Could NPO get 1000 nations and roll BK in two years? Probably. Have they started an aggressive war against us with punitive terms and refuse to surrender when it didn’t work? Nah.

Which is the whole reason why people were upset about NPO entering the war and are claiming that they have created a hegemony. On one hand you claim that NPO and BK are different blocs, on the other hand you say that you aren’t willing to fight them and then jump in to fight alongside them unprovoked. Do you see the concern?

You see in this thread who's replying? NPO people. Its always NPO people replying and pushing the narrative that you'll go months. And thats what they want, so their sphere can build up!

I suggest to have war during peace, war ends for most of the players but selected teams from both sides can continue to fight and the others can bet on the winners

I suggest the book War and Peace.

If BK and NPO ever fight a war against each other in the near future like how us and Chaos did, I will eat a book.

now this is the good type of Nation Roleplay

The irony of remaking TEst to dodge a war is palpable. Edit: The additional irony of being downvoted for this post by Shifty, who VM'd during the war and is currently in VM is the sweet ambrosia that nourishes my soul.

Thanks to IQ I play keno every day with their money Their evil plan is to finance my addiction to make me crazy When the war ends I get taxed so I will not be able to play keno and I will go into a withdrawal crisis
