Greetings everyone, This is an announcement from our government regarding to the recent events that has occurred which involved our members who came from House Arryn (HA) through a merger recently. In short, the game administration has found them all to be multis and banned from the game. We apologize for the inconvenience and the mistrust that it may have caused. We do not condone cheating in any shape or form and have been and will continue to be transparent and open during all of this. Like you, we are just as shocked this occured. Us, original members, had no knowledge of the HA members being multis and using VPN and we will continue to proclaim our innocence as we move forward. To address some of the comments we have been seeing. No, us original members had no knowledge. Yes, several from our gov were banned, however they came from the merge with HA. This wasn't a full blown conspiracy. Why didn't we notice sooner? They each had their own discord profile and acted as individuals. As crazy as it sounds, they even talked as individuals and had conversations with one another and with others. We noticed their English was rough for all of them, however we assumed English wasn't their first language and brushed it off as we are a multi ethnic alliance. NPO 2.0? No. We believed HA wanted to play the game. They told us they knew each other IRL through school and that they played other games together, particularly another nation sim game and a GoT game, so they wanted to form a GoT alliance in PW. This was why almost all of them were created on the same day, we assumed they were a group of friends who wanted to play the game together. We also didn't force them to play. We didnt force them to log in. They literally acted as individuals, requested city grants, asked questions to play the game, etc just like anybody else. The multi incident first came to light about a week ago or so when Alex banned two of the HA members. Assuming it was a mistake on his part and to avoid it from happening again, we tried to get them all verified but none did. We admit, the cry of outrage from the HA members and the lack of any effort from them got us a bit suspicious. We began our own internal investigation soon and dug deeper. We looked deeper on discord and our own website and this is what we found so far. (Also during this time, the rest of the HA members were banned for the same reasons as the two members before, similar login patterns, same device / same browser). From what we found is that we believe Alex is right and they were multis. We found out that during our questioning, they either lied to us or avoided the questioning entirely by screaming out against Alex and ignoring us. Also we can confirm Alex's claim with similar login patterns. From what we can see on our own website, it appears the logins were minutes apart from one another. Even tho we can only see their last logins, we believe the pattern went further than that for however long. We also looked closely at the conversations HA had with one another and we realized the images they posted of their "real life" came from the internet by performing simple google searches on their images. Moving forward, we welcome anyone who wishes to ask us questions about this matter, you can DM us in discord. We have kicked and banned every HA member from our discord server as we feel confident that they were multis. We would like to thank our allies and friends for their support as we recover from this incident. We talked to Alex and we applaud Alex for bringing this to light and taking action as needed to be.

>NPO losing a few members: WAHHHH, I QUIT! >Ming losing half their alliance: [insert well-written and professional response]

The irony in this is palpable

Since keno was removed for unfairly benefitting some and generating too much free money, when does Bjorn offer up all he's gained as a result of this to Alex to make things right? Well, @Bjorn Ironside?

It's brave to address this on the OWF when you could have just hid and waited for the drama to blow over. Good luck going forward

These two statements seem contradictory

This is an example of how to gain respect as an alliance. Alliance size doesn't matter with respect to quality. Kudos at turning a negative situation for your alliance into a positive gain for your alliance.

I've played with your group for over 2 years semi closely, and I would never believe you would intentially have multis. I commend yall for being transparent in this, and I respect your perseverance through this. Good luck and I am happy to be an ally ??

He's practicing social distancing Doesn't want to infect his whole alliance Ayy lmao

Dammit who let HBE back inside

Hello all, its me Nyx back after 6 years gone. I shall now be known as Aizu Cassion, Aizu for short. Its nice to see this game has grown considerably though the economy is as broken as i saw it when it was even jankier. Also Hi Sheepy

Ps to all raiders........sounds like a challenge

Clean your room.

Also it seems to be defaulting to date whenever you go to the trade screen at all. It used to always default to the best price

I honestly wasn't going to vote, but now that I know it's upsetting people I'm going to vote for Endgame

The first poll ended with: NPO's Last TIme: 79 Votes Endgame: 48 Votes Dial Up War: 35 Votes The final poll will not be multiple choice, choose your favourite name. It will run for about a week.

So after the recent update ive noticed a bug has appeared in the trade system. After pressing go to sort the trades it will erase the setting you have entered in the price/date/bulk sort option and always default to date sorting. In the past it would keep the setting you had entered(or maybe it was defaulting to price idk). This bug has made trading very annoying as any time you want to switch resources you have to change it back to price. Which is the setting everyone wants to use 99% of the time(so you can get the best price).

I wouldn't join Fark and I don't see why anybody would. They haven't fought a serious war in forever, and I don't think their M-level allies are worth much. TI is basically an overgrown micro and R&R is hot garbage.

I'd suggest people join non trash alliances that don't sit there and pixel hug and pretend to matter.

Just brought back the ability to toggle VM nations, and reorganized that and related options into a collapsible "Advanced Search" options box.

Interesting choice of words.

He is on vacation in Hawaii.

Alex said he will not gonna delete parts of our bank or refund what we lost when they got banned. We haven't gained anything from them since each penny went into building them up to city 15. We lost about $2.5b from them + $500m loan we gave to them when they created HA. So we lost about $3b. You can see everything here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1mwZbAUrQND-_KuyoEIwtU55_3QiKP3l6qyedTSMcinw/edit?usp=sharing Confirmation from Alex: PS to all raiders, we don't store anything valuable in the alliance bank. Because we taxed them 100/100 and everyone had to be on one city build if they wanted to receive grants for new cities.

Ayyy, don't get quarantined, lmao

I dont see what the problem is, if you are seeing one resource is high, that just means demand is outpacing supply, and when enough people notice, they will start making that resource, and it will eventually drop in price. This is how the market has always worked.

the real conspiracy here is y ur in vacay mode ? rawr

I can confirm, it's not actually letting me choose anything but sorting by date/default. Which flatly doesn't make any sense to exist in the first place tbh, why would anyone not search by price?

Ah Sheepy yer still at it making this game oh so much better

yasss qol moooarrr rawr

Suka blyat is the most common of all Russian swears and is kind of a meaningless throwaway, like the basic English "frick". Personally, as an advocate of all personal freedoms including speech, I would hope that none of these would even be considered for censorshit. Nevertheless, the moderation philosophy in this game is already unreasonable enough to censor even the mildest profanities, so this should be treated the same way you'd treat the simple word "frick." edit: I did not nor would ever in my life type out ""frick"" like this forum pretends I did. Thank you, automated censorshit.

TKR pushing Engame to the top...

Calm down m8, raws have been and pretty much always will be more expensive than the refined resources for the simple reason that they refine into far more units of resources than one actually puts in. As in, you usually get about 3 units output per input. So, if raws were three times as expensive as manufactured goods, then that would indicate a problem... one that wouldn't persist for long, since people would start producing raws. There's nothing at all wrong here, but thank you for your convincing argument as to why downvotes should be reimplemented

The flu has an effective vaccine. Yes it is more lethal statistically, but covid-19 does not have an effective vaccine, does not have a reliable test, can and has appeared seemingly entirely at random no matter how little exposure one thinks they have, and in case you hadn't noticed elderly people have loved ones too, ones who are by your own arguments justly scared right now. I will acknowledge that the recovery rate is high, but there are critical differences between this and the flu that I'd prefer you didn't so callously deny.

People who think that tCW switching sides and brining in Farksphere counts as GW15 should be taken out the back and be shot ?‍♂️

I've removed the extra 1,000 Infrastructure and refunded your nation $38,885,451.3 for the cost of infrastructure from 2,000 -> 3,000.

There is no Global War 15

We need the heart at the end of NPO’s Last Time. ❤️

Thank you for those who listened in to the most recent episode of Great Job! on Friday night. It was a great show, thank you to both @Epi and @Prefontaine for taking part. During the show, it was brought up that @Charlie Traveler is greatly missed in this community. Let us show Charlie our support and bring him back. Let us get to either 100 likes or 100 responses to show him our love and get him back into this community.

It swells our hearts (and other parts of our bodies) with joy to see our beloved Rose ready to fight again! They came out of a long, hard global war alongside the rest of us, and they did a good job rebuilding their infrastructure! Congratulations, Rose, on a successful rebuild! They haven’t made a post yet about the war, so we thought it would be nice of us to do so first! We understand though; rebuilding is hard, and infrastructure is expensive. Gotta make sure the ROI is solid and that your builds are efficient. It would also suck for it all to get lost again, so I completely understand why a 70-man alliance would support their 30-man protectorate by bringing in 6-man Oblivion against us 20 KT members! After all, if you aren’t going to war with a 5 to 1 advantage, are you really trying? KT recognises hostilities with Rose and Oblivion.
