  3. Prologue: Once upon a time there was a lovely princess. But she had an enchantment upon her of a fearful sort which could only be broken by love’s first kiss. She was locked away in a castle guarded by a terrible fire breathing dragon. Many brave knights had attempted to free her from this dreadful prison, but none prevailed. She waited in the dragon’s keep, in the highest room of the tallest tower, for her true love’s first kiss. We all know how this story ends. But what we don’t hear is the dragon’s tale. We wouldn’t even know the dragon prefers to go by The Federation (TF). A strange title, you may think, but for a dragon a fairly normal one. TF was fed up after years of knights coming into the domain. You see, dealing with one self-pretentious knight barging into your home and ransacking it all like he owns the place is one thing. Years is quite another.. And so TF packed up and left to see where the world would take him. Soon, news of TF’s journey travelled fast and reached the ears of an odd assortment of characters from across the kingdom who were also fed up with the medieval treatment. The first was the giant gingerbread man, The Immortals (TI). How did the gingerbread man earn such a title? We shall see. You might think being a giant gingerbread man would be fun, and you would be wrong. Burdened by constant taxes by their lords, the faraway kingdom had become home to hordes of famine-struck villagers. Everywhere TI looked were hungry and betraying eyes. And so TI left to join the dragon TF. Soon, the party grew. First the encountered the leprechaun, who went by the traditional Irish title, The Ampersand (&). & was wanted for drinking the king’s entire supply. It seemed the alcohol only made & stronger and smarter. There was Hawkeye the Dark (Fark), who mysteriously existed in the faraway kingdom but quickly became a valuable member of the party. So was the ever-mysterious Florida Man, locally known as The Fighting Pacifists (TFP), capable of performing any act. The final member came when the party reached the vast, oceanic domain of King Triton, or as he came to be known, The Lost Empire (TLE). TLE was sympathetic to their cause, and so he banded together with the dragon TF, the giant gingerbread man TI, the leprechaun &, Hawkeye the Fark, and Florida Man TFP. And when the journey finally came to end, there was a beautiful friendship. And so the friends gathered together and settled in The Swamp, where they agreed to the following: Chapter 1: Mirror, mirror, on the wall. Who is the swampiest of them all? All members of The Swamp agree that should any information come to light regarding the security or welfare of another, it must be shared. Chapter 2: Well, I have to save my ass. If any member of The Swamp is attacked, all other members agree to militarily, financially, and diplomatically defend one another. An attack on any member of The Swamp is an attack on the whole swamp. Chapter 3: Can’t we settle this over a pint? If any member of The Swamp decided to start an offensive war, representatives of all other members must be notified at least 24 hours in advance. Other members are not required to join. Chapter 4: What are you doing in my swamp‽ All current members of The Swamp must agree to the admission of another member. Chapter 5: This is the part where you run away. Should any current member wish to exit The Swamp, they must inform representatives of all others 72 hours in advance. Epilogue (tl;dr): The Federation, The Immortals, The Ampersand, Fark, The Fighting Pacifists, and The Lost Empire agree to an MDoAP bloc henceforth knows as The Swamp.

  6. Atlas Technologies is an alliance that was formed with the goal of building community both internally and externally. We are a place where people can gather to have a good laugh, discuss current events and build friendships. We also had another goal. We want to be a place where development happens, whether that's bots, helping identify bugs and solutions in-game or anything else you can think of. With that being said, Atlas Technologies is proud to announce their latest service! Tektonik will be a bi-weekly radio show hosted by Jordan and Max on Sundays at 3pm CST starting March 29th! We will be discussing a wide range of topics. To listen, please join our discord server.

  7. Like I said in my original post, I like blocs. People can appreciate the proactive political direction of a bloc forming while still being critical of the alliances in them. Fark in particular is the weirdest one in this. Alexio, how do you justify signing into a bloc with an alliance that just over last weekend didn't honor their M-level treaty with R&R?

  8. I was thinking it may be a good idea for the game to send an automated email to people that come out of Vaca Mode after an extended amount of time. So basically once a nation's VacaMode timer expires, if they signed up to receive email notifications, they would receive an email that basically says, you are no longer in Vacation Mode, come on back and play some PnW! If this already happens, please ignore, i have never used vaca mode, and never will.

  10. Despite all the jealousy of our new swampy home, TLE would like to congratulate everyone on finding such a nice, wet home. O7 to Fark, Ampersand, The Fighting Pascifists, The Immortals and The Federation! To answer some pixel hugging accusations, although I appreciate the attention, TLE has never abandoned an ally. Last war we entered was for a ODoAP I didn't even like ?? Also, a shout out to The Regiment for being such good non-pixel hugging allies! Btw, you can't drain the swamp when Atlantis is part of it. ?

  11. Nice to see that the response of many to the devolvement of the blob that they so widely request is just irrational anger. On a brighter note, it’s been a pleasure to work with those in & as part of Stark/Syndi/Partihasusalltrappedinabasementpleasgethelp-sphere, so I wish you guys all the best in your damp, albeit homely sphere. To all of you, I hope you can fight against the inevitable #draintheswamp memes and keep the deep state rolling for years to come.

  13. Politics & War Quarterly Report March 24, 2020 Hello, My apologies for not writing this sooner. My intention was to do quarterly reports every quarter (3 months), but due to the fiasco with NPO, GOONS, etc. in the beginning of February when this report was due I just didn't have time to put it together. Since then, I wasn't sure if I would do one this quarter or just wait until the next, but enough people have asked that I thought I would throw one together. We didn't get everything done in the last quarter that I hoped, which was in large part due to the significant amount of moderation needed last quarter. Things have really settled down in the last month or so, and I've been able to spend a lot more time doing development work instead of moderation, which is nice. That said, let's review all of the things that did get done between the last quarterly report (Nov 1, 2019) and now: Three new national projects were added: Space Program Spy Satellite Moon Landing Alliance bank funds are automatically disbursed to the last nation in an alliance upon disbandment A note is added to a nation's activity log when they changed continents Alliances automatically promote a new leader if there is none An improved mobile navigation bar was added (UI improvement) New wars UI refactored for mobile @ss23 made some upgrades to the servers running the game to improve performance Increased captcha restriction security to discourage/prevent the use of bots and scripts Military costs were increased some Nations being moved to Gray for inactivity was reduced from 14 days to 5 days to discourage tax farming Every nation was given +1 national project slot regardless of infrastructure level We implemented restrictions on sending messages to discourage/prevent abuse Timezone Adjustment Settings were implemented Added a trade confirmation popup when posting new trade offers Improved the average trade price calculation Changed message sorting to bring unread messages to the top of the Inbox Added “Number of Cities” to filter criteria on the nation search page Added “Number of Cities” to the sort criteria on the nation search page Added “Cities” as a column displayed on the nation search page Removed “Continent” as a column displayed on the nation search page Added a “Vacation Mode for X days” indicator on the nation search page in the “Date Created” column for applicable nations Added acceptance date for Trades in Status column if the trade has been accepted Fixed a bug with how trades were being displayed on the “My Trade Offers” page and nation “Trade Activity” display page When clicking the “Create Offer” button on a trade page, if you have selected a resource the new offer will default to that resource Added “Previous Page” and “Next Page” buttons to the bottom of the Inbox page Added “Previous Page” and “Next Page” buttons to the bottom of the Trade page Added “Previous Page” and “Next Page” buttons to the bottom of the Nation Search page Added “Previous Page” and “Next Page” buttons to the bottom of the Alliance Search page Fixed a bug on the Conflicts page Improved nation search functionality with an "Advanced Search" dropdown optional menu Updated the Game Rules to prohibit Flashing imagery that could be annoying or cause seizures Excessively long images / text that can disrupt the normal flow of a nation or alliance page Plain text messages with the attempt to deceive other players, i.e. writing "This nation is in Vacation Mode for X turns" in your nation description Added a popup asking for consent to use cookies when using the site Added homepage leaderboard display for nations with the most national projects and for most cities Refactored some internal code to make future game improvements easier / better A couple of things I'm currently working on that will be released soon: Improved city user interface, in particular for mobile users A new v2.0.0 API endpoint for nation bank records (currently on test server, see #api in the Discord Server for details) --- You can see, we've got a lot done! A lot of which has been completed recently. I'm finally working full-time hours on P&W, and I've been able to get a lot of things done. Now, what's next? I've got a lot planned, and the following list is an overview, not a comprehensive or exclusive list of things to come. Note, this may not all be completed by the next quarterly report on May 1, 2020. Refactor Tutorial system to improve new player retention Complete v2.0.0 of the API Complete bug testing of the Test Server to ensure we can upgrade live server software versions Add a custom currency option for VIP members Add a "copy result text" button to battle and espionage results pages for convenience Refactor "Gather Intel" espionage operations Refactor espionage spy odds shown When a nation deletes during a war, they are automatically looted / treasures transferred to opponents prioritized by resistance remaining Add a confirmation popup when destroying national projects Add a "Delete City" button that shows up when your city has 0.01 Infrastructure remaining Collect and report significantly improved war statistics and make available through API Add an option for your Discord username on your nation page Add a dropdown nation continent selection for accessibility during nation creation Work on improved P&W marketing campaigns to get more new players On the last item, I am certainly not a digital marketing expert, so I am wondering if there is anyone who works in marketing that would be interested in helping design ad images, copy, or even short videos that I can use to promote Politics & War. If you have experience and are interested in helping out, please contact me on Discord (Alex_PW#4970) That's it for now, folks. I hope you're as excited as me about the future of P&W and all of the improvements yet to come! If you have a suggestion that isn't included on this list, please post it here: https://forum.politicsandwar.com/index.php?/forum/52-game-suggestions/ I may not respond to each and every suggestion personally, but I do periodically review and adopt suggestions posted there. --- In other news, if you're interested in free Credits, we are doing a giveaway on March 31 of 5 Credits to 3 random winners.

  15. Say what you will but at least we are trying something different. ?‍♂️ Isnt that the whole point to be adventurous and try something other than the status quo. Would have been very easy to stick as a mega sphere, but alas we decided on a different approach. It may be a harder approach but it's different, and it keeps this game away from a boring 2 sphere world.

  26. Official Clover Kingdom Statement Over the past few days, I have realized how big a mistake Goons really were. While the original alliance with their original government and all might have ceased to exist, the GOON culture of slander and accusations remain. Just because a thread was removed doesnt mean the slander was removed along with it. On 26th Feb, 2020, in the USN server, we met a former member of GOONs called Comrade Marx(https://politicsandwar.com/nation/id=177013). With zero provocation of any kind, Marx called Nokia a pe**phile. We did the correct thing, pinging the server admin and asking for Marx to be banned for such slander. There was no response. On the insistence of Nokia, we didnt push the matter any more and decided to let it pass. I will not be posting any screenshots of this because then this thread will be taken down but you can still find the messages on USN server. On 12th March, 2020, once again in the same server, Marx made another comment, indirectly aimed at Nokia once again, accusing him of the same thing. This time, it was too much for Nokia and he exploded. This only led to Marx to further accuse him of "grooming children" and of having lied about him losing his job. Not only that, a few digs were taken on his military career as well. Needless to say, WE DO NOT TAKE THIS LIGHTLY, especially it being a second time from the same person, a third time from GOONs. If you have no evidence, you should not accuse people, especially of real-life crimes. It takes a toll not only on the reputation of a person in game, but can also affect ones real life. We at Clover Kingdom are disgusted by this act and call for the relevant government of Advanced Syndicalist Mechanics(https://politicsandwar.com/alliance/id=6877) to take action against this man cause clearly they aren't fit for an online community which is not Something Awful. All relevant evidence has already been submitted to RedArmy.

  33. Currently, if users want to change their war and economic policies, they have to go to the Edit page, which is slightly inconvenient given how much users have to switch those policies. Perhaps adding a drop down menu for each of those two options right on the user's nation page would make it easier to switch those policies.

  34. Actually I’m not. My Grandfather smoked marijuanas his whole life. I was about 10 years old when my mother said to him, 'If you ever want to see your grandchildren graduate, you have to stop immediately.'. Tears welled up in his eyes when he realized what exactly was at stake. He gave it up immediately. Three days ago he died of lung cancer and Coronavirus complications. It was really sad and destroyed me. My mother said to me- 'Don't ever smoke cheap weed only dank kush. Please don't put your family through what your Grandfather put us through." I agreed. At 27, I have never touched stale, dirt weed. I must say, I feel a very slight sense of regret for never having done it, because your post gave me cancer anyway.

  37. 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.

  38. In a time of peace and prosperity, there existed in the vast forests of Camelot a Dryad. That Dryad was not like other Dryads, for she wanted to become rich. When the infamous Global War 14 started, the Dryad saw an opportunity to make a name for itself. Never one to pass up an opportunity, she gathered a group of renegades and cutthroats to sail the seven seas with. The Dryad went from ship to ship, leaving nothing but death and destruction in it's wake. Many kings tried to stop the Dryad, but none were successful. Their weapons were useless against the Dryad and it's crew, for they possessed the most powerful weapon of all. Immortality. Eventually, the seas ran dry of loot, so the Dryad took to the ground. She was no longer a pirate. She became a raider. So she raided, pillaged and plundered. Her name was known and feared by all. None dared to look the Dryad or it's crew in the eye. The loot they gathered was sufficient to make them all kings and queens, but no. They lusted for more gold. More blood. More glory; so they raided, pillaged and plundered some more. But one day, the Dryad noticed something. She had looted from every nation on earth, but there was one place she did not yet conquer. That is the land of the Vacation Mode. Determined to bring the whole world to it's knees, the Dryad prepared for what will prove to be her greatest challenge yet. Conquer the land of the Vacation Mode. It was a suicide mission, that much was certain; but the mad Dryad did not fear death, for she was deathless. "Take us with you!" said her first mate. "No" answered the Dryad. "I have to do this on my own". And just like that, she dissappeared into the land of the Vacation Mode, never to be seen or heard of again. Legend says that one day, the Dryad will return from the land of Vacation Mode to terrorize the land, skies and seas once again. When that day arrives, none will be safe. RIP DRYAD 2019 - 2020
