  1. As of the time of this post - IRONFRONT has achieved White Purrs and 6 Month Cat NAP with those within and associated with Coalition B. IRONFRONT started this global expedition on the side of Coalition B, fighting until we secured White Peace with the opposition we are currently fighting for. We entered this war through means of the TCW Bloc and we have quickly come to the realization that this war is not our own. When we fought alongside our current opposition in Coalition B, we entered the war with certain set values and goals - on this new front, we lack both. This is what led us down the path to secure our peace with Coalition B and all associated. Additionally, tied to this notification of peace and naptime, we have concluded our time within the TCW Bloc and are issuing our 72 hour cancellation notice. Although we have friends throughout the political realm of Orbis, we feel that our internal values and beliefs are not a match for the bloc at this time. We do hope all sides of this war come together to find a solution and conclusion to the current global war. It has been a pleasure fighting with and against both sides during the war - we have learned many lessons, gained much experience, and most of all grew closer together as a community within IronFront. tl;dr - IRONFRONT achieves White Peace & 6 Month NAP with Coalition B & Associates - additionally activated 72 hour cancellation with TCW Bloc and I guess COL B likes cats. Signed For IRONFRONT: -The IRONFAM Signed For OD/Col B -'Use list of sigs from the last peace announcement'

  2. Forgive me, I am new here, I am not sure if spamming baseball games with scripts to generate money is allowed, but it seems like it is something that reasonably shouldn't be allowed. I have some evidence of at least one nation spamming baseball, but it strongly looks like at least one particular alliance is heavily invested in baseball botting and is pretty open about their baseball dongs. I mean they put up neon signs so. Nation in question: Mountain Dudes https://politicsandwar.com/nation/id=177258 Evidence: I decided to manually throw a couple of quick baseball games (hosting) to try the system out. I was getting results faster than I could even click "back to team." And it was consecutively the same player. But then I left, took a shower, came back an hour or so later, and did it again and the same player was still the one showing up consecutively to my home games. The odds are greater that this nation was rapidly playing baseball throughout at least the whole hour, rather than I just happened to start playing again when they did for a few seconds. (there are many more consecutive instances with this player than fit in the baseball record window) I have seen some similar patterns from other nations in the same alliance (all with the same neon flashing signs in their bios) but this was the strongest evidence with my limited engagement with the baseball system. Screenshots attached. I am highly suspicious that it is widespread cheating via the use of bots to generate fast cash. Especially given the similar neon signs advertising for people to "get their baseball dongs" from the nations involved. It's pretty flagrant and obvious to me. I don't think so many players from an alliance of that particular nature are actually sitting there clicking baseball buttons. Nations I've played baseball with hosting such neon signs (pics available if the nations are edited, I reached attachment size limits): neon1: https://politicsandwar.com/nation/id=171080 neon2: https://politicsandwar.com/nation/id=186084 neon3: https://politicsandwar.com/nation/id=180413 neon4: https://politicsandwar.com/nation/id=181883 My belief in it being cheating rests upon the belief that no sane person would actually sit there, for hours on end, spamming baseball games at such rapid pace, and in the case of my interaction with Mountain Dudes, that such a sustained pace is essentially impossible by virtue of the limits of human endurance.

  5. (In my personal opinion, the best way to deal with this might be to limit the use of baseball to X number of games per tick, for instance. In all honesty the current system seems outright prone to abuse.)

  6. A reminder that this is a No-Discussion Forum. Warnings have been issued. --- I'm not sure how likely it is that the games are being botted. The reality is, there's really no way to prove one way or the other. I've made multiple appeals to the community to have baseball severely nerfed or even removed, and even run randomized surveys to the playerbase and the majority of players do not feel that baseball is a problem. Looking at the data, what I would expect from a bot is that they're playing the max number of games per day. However, very, very few players actually do that. Here's the top results for players hosting home games on 1-21-2020: The players that you reported did not may that many home games, comparatively: Away games: The number of away games played by 180413 could be indicative of botting. But, it's hard to say conclusively. Without more evidence, I'm not inclined to take moderation action, and without more support for nerfing/removing baseball, I'm not inclined to take that action either.

  7. Wasn't it also confirmed George didn't actually commit any crimes? Like how about instead of everyone screaming around claiming murder, somebody actually speaks to lawyer instead and handles it out of the game. A lawyer not involved with PW, of course. Jesus Christ you can't complain about how OOC shits becoming and then constantly drag the dead body back into IC shit. Handle OOC problems OOCly, leave it the hell out of in-game crap.

  10. As someone who plays baseball regularly, out of all of those, only one's history looks even remotely suspicious to me but because it's away games, it's probably not either. Away games take significantly less time to play than home games. It doesn't take as long to play and rack up games if you know what you're doing and you get into a good rhythm/a lot of people are online at the time. If they had 4 or 5 thousand games per day or more, like some players in the past who have gotten in trouble for baseball, I would be concerned but they don't.

  12. Esteemed members of Orbis, The Federation joined the war for her allies, The Immortals - to no regret. However circumstances for the war effort changed. Unfortunately, those we thought were friends, were actually enemies within and paid no respect to alliances within Fark-sphere and others. Our delay for peace was as a result of much thought going into whether we should join alliances who signed peace. In the end, peace was decided for our alliance. Therefore: Upon the 21st of January, an agreement was made with the Ambassador of GOONS, JT Jag, and I that The Federation would invoke Clause 5 in the terms outlined in the 'Peace In Our Time' treaty. Large thanks to JT Jag for his swift cooperation and understanding. Thank you all. Have a nice day/night.

  14. I mean aren't you one of those players than joins micros, manipulates yourself to a gov position and then steals their banks? I really don't think anyone of your stature and reputation has any right to try to reprimand other alliances when I'm sure you've done far worse to allies and acquaintances alike. You are near as scummy as players get in this game from an IC perspective.

  17. I'll note that baseball is known to have been a source of exploitation and headaches. As a side-feature intended to provide low-impact recreation, the feature has been grossly misused to impact actual ingame mechanics. As the system as intended has been compromised by bottin and flagrant abuse, i'm of the opinion that removing it altogether might save us lot of headaches

  18. Epi you do yourself no favours when you attempt to piggyback your own terrible financial decisions by getting involved with Nokia with that dogs breakfast of a "peace treaty" by attempting to forcible extract over $5b from an alliance which you knowing helped facilitate the theft of over $5.5b worth of their bank. Nobody from North Point "abused your good faith", you're quite clearly slandering Aky and others to make up for your own failings in safeguarding your members Investments. You gave $5b to Nokia on the consideration it was loaned out, he didn't tell you where he sent it so that's your first mistake. He then gave the money to NP, whom he told was a gift to help them rebuild after a war both NP/TCM fought together. Aky couldn't have known where it really came from, so to then accuse him of stealing your stuff, when he didn't know where it came from or even had to budget to repay it is just a scummy move on your part. Considering Camelot is more than happy to continue to be hitched to Nokia a guy who has stolen over billions from members of multiple alliances, including $1.25b from one of @Alexio15 its quite obvious you don't care of "honesty" or "integrity", your just trying to exploit a shitty coalition's blood-lust, to pillage North Point a 2nd time. You should admit reality and recognise your money is lost and Camelot and yourself have no one to blame but themselves and Nokia. Considering those terms are now null and void, posting commentary on them is now redundant. Unless you're wanting to highlight once again the absurdity of them, in which case be my guest. I didn't write any of the finance terms, bar the $300m SOUP kitchen one (I did ask for $150m back at the time, but Under doubled it for some reason). But I don't care about that anymore, Bangas is gone and SOUP needs the money more than we do. Daydreaming is honestly very healthy it keeps the mind sharp. Its good to see you doing so here, regarding this so called "bond", shame you won't ever see it though. You violated a NAP, what part of "Non-Aggression" don't you guys understand? TLE, is fine, I'd be worried more about your prospects for "winning this war", which have quickly evaporated.

  20. I have seen many posts discussing/complaining about nations not being able to rebuild during wars whether it is because of wars expiring or cycle-beiging. My suggestion is that based on the resistance left when a war expires, the losing side gets beiged as if they lost all their resistance. If the resistance is tied it could go to a tiebreaker such as infra lost or money lost.

  21. I liked war but I had to sacrifice my sleeping time. Waiting to 2am to be able to do "double buy". Second, I used to roleplay with my enemies in messages but war is too long for that I prefer shorter wars. I really miss couple of improvements to make this game more casual like it used to be in my past(or at least I thought it was). Set your own update time is something I need. Another concern is that game is filled with bots and spreadsheets. Imo these things should be implemented in game not be only available for people who have some IT skills. I am so clueless about it that I gave up with being gov as doing things manually is like a second job basically. Setting taxes for each group is improvement I liked and wish to see more like this. But strong thing about this game is community which is great. Fantastic people and moreover they do very creative things in this game like newspapers, movies(micchan and others), funny ic posts(fraggle), ripper comics(yeah I will never forget it!) Or propaganda ads and pics. etc. Oh and forgot this game helped me soo much to be more confident in typing in English as I am not native E. Speaker. I used to answer 10min. With just one or two short sentences because I wanted to be sure I have no mistakes in it.(mostly at Discord) Here I have started recently typing that long texts. I am sure they are not perfect grammatically but at least I am capable of typing more in short time haha. Second thing is that I learned how to edit photos, gifs and do simple movies but for last one is still a lot for improvements.

  31. Today The Immortals welcome their new official allies in The Syndicate and The Knights Radiant. Discussion have been in the works for awhile, all with the original intention of being activated post-war. However, we have been drawn into the conflict, and because of this, cannot and will not just walk away from our new friends and let them continue to be bogged down in war. We stand with our friends and will remain in the conflict until a fair peace is negotiated for the war. As leader of The Immortals, I don’t have a personal issue with any of the OD alliances or leaders who we are at war with – that is not why we remain at war. A war that lasts this long is not good for the game, nor is peace terms that are too harmful for those they are brought upon. Many good people have and will continue to quit due to the conflict. The game needs balance for it to be enjoyable, so I implore both sides to come to a fair peace and we can all continue enjoying this game for many months and years to come. Until that happens, we will be there in the battlefield. So with that, I ask all nations out there to consider helping bring about a peace and ending to the war. If your alliance has peaced and you still personally believe in the cause, build up your military then come temporarily join The Immortals or other allies in the fight, and help us balance the power. I thank our allies that have stuck with us and continue in the fight, it means a lot. You are not alone! Lord Tyrion The First of The Immortals

  41. off-topic: off-topic posts have been nuked. Here is an advice for future reference: When you are in page 3+ of a thread and your message exceeds 10 lines, take a deep breath, check the topic again and ask yourself whether your current post is off-topic. Due to cascading effects, the probability this is the case is quite high. At that point, respect the OP and either stay on topic or say nothing and continue your debates to other threads. on-topic: I really enjoy the current war/state of events. Nothing better than coming back home, opening the P&W forums and seeing 173 reports to go through.

  44. A hamster poem they share a name, cute af are both, wolfy leo is my feisty betroth he likes me and i like him back well enough, world domination i left behind to kindle his fur fluff but one day, when we were walking around town, a familiar silhouette walked past down i turned around and caught a glimpse, and i was quite certain it wasn't a Sphinx my heart jumped like it has seen a knife, oh it can not be, but it surely was never forgotten, the first love of my life. a sudden emotion took my body ablaze, too late to hide, my betrothed caught my staring gaze TEsting his patience, he said -- oh the words felt like a noose, we need to go right now or all hell will break loose. but there i was, i just couldn't move and kept staring at the love i've thought i've said long ago -- adieu he turned around and gave me a wink, and it's all it took to have my engagement bethink'd fluffy was furious, but it was already too late this fortunate encounter wrapped my fate. cracking a villainous smile he pushed my fiancee away, hugged me and whispered - our love will never again be led astray, they'll all bend the knee or be a hunted prey!
