  1. Greetings Orbis, Camelot has been busy on multiple fronts this week. People have been banned, treaties have been dropped, forums have been created, and it is only Hump Day! Because of our tremendously busy week we will be putting multiple announcements in one post. The Foreign Office and the Camelot Intelligence Agency have been hard at work toiling through the night to complete their objectives. To whom it may concern, As of 3/24/2020 at 3:30am EST Camelot’s protectorate with Golden Phoenix Coalition (5485) has ended Camelot has issued Brotherhood of the Clouds (5013) a 14 day notice on 3/18/2020, the treaty will officially end 4/1/2020 The Coalition has merged into Camelot, as of 3/22/2020, furthermore any player remaining on the alliance affiliation as of today (if any) are no longer under Camelot protection As of 3/24/2020 Goon Squad (5039) no longer falls under the protection of Camelot, we would additionally like to congratulate them on their new tCW prot! Camelot has signed a protectorate with The Roxchean Confederations (7375) Camelot has signed a ODoAP with Solar Knights (1634) (Treaty transfer from GGFU) Camelot announces the creation of the Camelot Intelligence Agency. Our agents have been busy in the field and the CIA is ready to publicly reveal the findings. Earlier this week Brotherhood of the Clouds appointed a new head of econ. This head of econ took out a loan from Dusty of North Point (former BoC leader before he left with the bank during GW14), couped BoC, then sent the loan and the BoC bank to a “friend” and deleted, leaving a random member in charge of BoC. After Camelot was informed of this, the CIA immediately started their investigation. After finding some suspicious information, the CIA informed Alex of the dealings while continuing our own investigation. The Camelot Intelligence Agency uncovered a dastardly plan: Dusty, using a multi, gained high gov access of BoC and took out a loan from himself. Then, his multi stole the bank and the loan and sent it back to an accomplice who was in North Points offshore. Finally, Dusty approached BoC telling them that they only had to pay back half of the loan that they had taken out from him. If Dusty’s plan had succeeded he would have stolen BoC bank for a second time, returned the initial loan to himself, and have charged BoC billions in “loan repayment.” Alex confirmed the CIA findings and has banned both Dusty and his accomplice as well as returning the bank to BoC and replacing the rightful government back in control of the alliance. Part of the investigation can be found here and Alex's post is here. Finally on behalf of Camelot i would like to thank @Alex for taking swift action against cheaters once again.

  9. 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.

  17. Wait so you were treated poorly in another alliance's channel, and when you asked them to remove offending content they said no? And because it happened again you are taking it to a public world forum with the intention of trying to publicly shame Marx and hope that forces the alliance he is currently in to take action? Why not just leave the channel? And if Marx comes to your channel, then ban him there? I ban people all the time in my channel, its super fun.

  18. 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.

  21. 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.

  24. You don't like the blob? I tell you something about blobs, blobs love blobbing. Blobbing is the act of being a blob and becoming more blobby through the careful application of bloboid, an artificial chemical created from mixing equal parts gunk and dingles. When a blob has become blobbled enough, it divides and a new baby blob is born. These baby blobs force those who are not yet blobby to join the blob party, leading to collections of blobs which all talk the same language. There is rhumoured to be one alliance which, at least for now is immune from blobbing: this alliance is ruled over by an oligarchy of whales, who see the blob as a threat to their existance. They fear the blobbing process, as well they should; however they fear it much less than they ought to fear being unblobbed. For to not be blobbed is to stand alone, and to stand alone is to have few friends. To blob is to be, to be is to blob. Bring forth the bloboid boys and girls, for all the blobs must blobble. HAIL BLOBBLE!!!!!!

  26. Currently you can import either to one city or all of them. It would be nice if lets say importing to 1 through 10th city and 11th through 21 city was added to make more complex city building more easy then having to go through them all manually .

  28. The thread is Beautiful, im proud to be a part of a bloc full of dedicated , loyal and war tested alliances. I can sense the fear of the haters who attempt to talk trash but are probably having very concerned government meetings about us as I write this. I'm also proud and grateful of our time with Syndicate and TKR, but im also grateful for an Orbis that doesn't require a bloc of that size to exist anymore. I wish you and all your allies the best in your future endeavors.

  30. 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.

  32. 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.

  37. I have come bearing news to all of Orbis. We have achieved an end. An end to the war that sought the destruction of communities all around. Peace has come to Orbis. A peace which shall bring forth growth and prosperity to all who have managed to survive. A peace that shall restabilize our world and bring forth new ideas. I have here, in my hand, a document with many signatures on it that I would like to read out to you. "We, the Coalition of Alphabet Soup, and the lasting leaders of Coalition We Dun Fuked Up, have held meetings and are agreed to a global white peace and a 6mo NAP." May you all go home and get a well deserved quiet sleep. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Alright, real talk. Starting on 2/20/2020 - all alliances involved in the global clusterfrick war - will have a 6mo NAP with the agreement of white peace. Of course you can easily void out of this, but for the sake of sanity - this game needs a break. There are no reps, no victories or defeats, no nothing. Just ending this conflict and moving forward. Any battles involving the alliances who has not accepted this agreement will be considered raids and will be treated as such by the respective alliances who are involved. We are officially declaring this war done. Some of you may disagree with a NAP being in place, but considering this war went on as long as it did and the impact it had on multiple communities - I'm sure it's more than understandable in this particular case. Let's get things back in order and allow @Alex some time to bring out new changes. If you don't care, well, can't really stop you but I think many of us are just simply tired of the drama and conflict. Activity needs to spike back up in multiple alliances once more. Enjoy the rebuild and start establishing new connections. I'm not posting everybody's signatures who back this up. You know who's who. And if you don't accept this, you're on your own. Arrgh and Mythic aren't included. So have fun punching them if you need to get some aggression out.
