From The Desk of Gobo Fraggle The Greatest Nation of Fraggle Rock Greetings Friends!! While the world hoards food, medicine, and toilet paper, us Fraggles are investing. That's right, we are buying up all the masterpieces at discount prices!! Now it would be unfair to buy these classics and not allow the unkempt masses to enjoy them. Please allow our newly appointed Art Minister, Mokey Fraggle, show you a small portion of our collection. Thank you Gobo. I'm glad all the nonsense of killing you, bringing you back, is over. Now onto the show. The first piece is by Monkey D Legendary. Titled, a day in Fraggle Rock, it showcases the beauty and mastic of our nation. Look at the trees. The underwear clouds. Amazing. Our next piece is from a true up and comer in the Fraggle Art Movement. Darsh has presented an accurate portrait of our dear leader, Gobo. Spot on. It is the prize of our collection. These are just a couple of our curated works. As we expend the gallery, you will have your chance to submit art. Many Hugs, Mokey Fraggle

Yes. Even if it isn't, it is.

Its not about 9 ships is about 25 aircraft and 60k soldiers

This guy is obviously new and is trying to participate in the game. Instead of being a prick about his misplaced post, it may be more productive to show him the ropes. Aren’t we trying to increase the player base?

Uh, your protectorate accused you without evidence? Just drop them.

This folks is how you become blacklisted from any alliance worth anything. Can't help but notice he's still posting. You at least revise your vetting procedures after this. A noble goal, but sometimes educating noobs requires some tough love. As it is, given many might describe his current actions as treason, the relatively mild bullying the community is dishing out is not uncalled for.

100% loyalty as well as 2000 iq war dodging skills

It's a pleasure to welcome you to the forums, and welcome to PnW.

Seems like someone probably won themselves a golden ticket on the deportation train of The Blitzers.

this is just ... ?‍♂️ oh god why do we have him

Hello folks! Just stumbled upon Politics & War yesterday, so still getting the hang of it all. So far it seems pretty enjoyable, but much to sift through. Cheers all!

Good afternoon my fellow witches and wizards and muggles and squibs. I received an owl post that we have been accused of leaking info to TTO. From my knowledge, we have no info to leak but pure accusations against DH. From my knowledge, we don’t uphold confidential information regarding TTO. After looking into this matter, no concrete evidence has been released to me or my government, making these allegations false and a rumor. I will continue looking into this matter.

inb4 new global war

Should really do some work on the war system, it's better to do it during a long peace like what we've got now. Also make an update so that I win. That's it, just me winning.

Because the beige time given is far more valuable to them then your loot and infra destroyed stat. The specific things he suggested are still bad, but the original premise of an issue is not.

Only 11m soldiers lost? :x.

bruh this kid attacks TI, threatens TI members to hire mercenaries, and then declares neutrality in his smol raids. seems legit

Something tells me this boy will be really fun to train

Can I speak to Deputy Ambassador?

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. ?

Hello Orbis, i have recently joined the ranks of many nations and begun my ascent. However some of the less explained concepts of the game still seem unclear. I have recently heard of these "Banks" and have yet to fully understand them. If anyone could be as so kind as to explain what it is they do and how they work?

Instead of arbitrarily waiting for the community to suggest that city cap on city timers be increased (It was 5 then later moved to 10). We should just have it increase by 1 or so every 6 months. I'd also put it to 12 now tbh. It allows new players who want to attempt to catch up, feel like they have the option to do so. I posted this in another thread but I kinda think this is an overdue decision. The last decision to up the timer was made sometime ago now and 12 is probably on the low side but probably about as high as most the community is willing to swallow.

@Meggles maybe I was wrong, but it just seems likely since you were given information about an attack on your MDoAP. I'm sorry for any accusations. And also Ahch is a total idiot so I wouldn't put it against him to just make up random bullshit.

Lord Fraggle, may he bless us with his presence.

Even the Smithsonian Institution is gonna be jealous when this collection of master art is complete...

Just kill each other already.

Thanks!

Sorry for bugging you. In all honesty though... Declaring neutrality as a nation inside an alliance doesn't work. If you are a part of an alliance you are a part of their wars. National affairs is the correct place for something like this anyways. As Alliance Affairs is a section for Alliances to make official announcements. I'd suggest talking to your alliance if you don't like the direction they are taking and see if maybe a different alliance is the right fit for you. @Kevanovia is this better? (Jordan repents of his bully and works towards better relations with new player)

Emperor Jonas, is that you?

Like I said I will fix him up, but I think this forum post will teach him a lot

03/24 02:59 pm - Clton declared war on Vietnamese empire for the reason of "You arent getting neutrality"

then why are you even posting this. your war dodging doesn't belong in alliance affairs

Great Job! with Kev and Charlie will air live tomorrow 11PM EST

What do you get when you cross a number, the worlds best football player and a piano? If you guessed a barely functioning alliance based on an old cheesy romance anime, you would be correct.

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.

Good to see moves like this being made.

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.

Thanks, didn't see that. While we're at it, you can actually make out distinct spheres on the treaty web now, which is pretty cool to see!

@Lury I believe that I also got a prize. I tried DMing you, but you did not respond. Please let me know how I can claim my prize.

This is why we need downvotes

That is not what he is suggesting. what he is saying is currently people can buy cities 2-10 with no timer, and is suggesting that every 6 months Alex adds an additional city to that list without restriction. So in 6 months, you can now buy cities 2-11 with no timer, then in another 6 months, 2-12 with no timer, and so on...

You do know Afghanistan was backed by the US, which is why they beat off the USSR, right? They didn't win "on their own" and USA isn't at war with Afghanistan, like the USSR was. In either case, any nation that has improvements well beyond its infra level should be forced to have power redirected to the improvements they want to actually have powered. Otherwise, it puts way to much power into the once larger nation, against the current smaller nations. Outside that, if a 30 city nation loses all its infra, it's improvement count is within its infra level and just rocks with full military improvements and basically nothing else, there is nothing wrong with that. I personally don't think a 30 city nation should be able to drop so much and be able to hit a 20 city nation or smaller, but that's just me. At that point, you have to change the accessibility of whom you can declare on. As for the directing of power, in this specific situation, this should also affect the raws as well. You have 40 improvements, but infra level is 1000, you redirect power to all the areas you want, but raws also function at full power? Because they don't use power? Rather bs in my opinion as well. You can only power what your infra level allows you, if you have more improvements then what your infra level allows. This will mostly affect whales who have 20 farms, get smacked down, run max military and 20 farms and whatever else they can while low on infra at full effectiveness. Power the farms or the military? Also, if your military loses power to its improvements, then the units held by that improvement is lost. The same way if it was destroyed during battle. You still have the improvement though. No power, there shouldn't be any allowing of full military use of it then, even if you already had the soldiers before losing power. This will hurt those huge nations who choose to shrink themselves so much, to where they only rock military improvements at 1K infra or less builds. You lose 500 infra in a city, immediately 10 improvements lose power and at first it is randomly chosen by the game, but afterwards you can redirect the power as you see fit or simply buy more infra. This way, it forces those more not giving a crap raiders, who simply just want to burn a nation down, to think through its military efforts, as it can go small, but it can easily lose a portion of its military quite easily. If this was put in, you can have a pre-set power direction installed for your nation. Basically, if the above examples happen, it will pull power from the section (not the specific improvement) of improvements you listed first. Example...You have 5 choices: Resources, Manufacturing, Civil, Commerce and Military. I put Manufacturing as my first section to lose power. So, if I get randomly hit and cities drop in infra, power will be randomly taken from the improvements in that section first and so on and so forth. Once the second is done, it'll move onto the next section on the list. This will at least give people the ability to fight off the randomness of having their military improvements just lose power first. This would then open up the spy ability of being able to scramble one's pre-set power direction. Basically, if the spy operation is successful, it will just set it back to "random" setting. Removing the pre-set feature, made by the player. The defending player can fix the problem immediately or I suppose, make it a one day force hold (until their day change mark happens, so it can never be more then 24 hours). Since the added change of being able to set your own day change time, anyone thought that maybe in the "intelligence gathering" spy ability, they are also told when the nation's day change is also? I am still firmly behind that spying is by far the most out of wack thing on here. With planes tying. It seems WAY to easy to spy intelligence or almost anything else and either succeed and be caught or not caught. There should be more then simply, having 60 spies and Arcane on. Put more variables with it...military size, overall average land size and city size, etc. A nation with half the amount of spies a fully maxed out nation has, should not have any real chance of success. Also, a handful of spies, shouldn't be able to kill upwards to 20 spies either. These spies aren't Agents 47.
