What if this is NPO's revenge. What if this is Roquentin's great return. What if NPO is coming to an alliance near you! NPO has setup a return to glory. While deleting all their nations, they sought the ultimate goal: total domination. They used affliates they met online to contact Drew Durlin, the legendary YouTube. Drew, while getting a good amount of views was running out of content ideas and needed ideas for a boost. He was eagerly taking any advice when the NPO affiliate contacted him, under the guise of helping, he lured Drew into making a video, knowing it would result in the massive boost in gameplay, which is what Roquentin wants. Under the guise of Drew, alliances opened their flood gates, former enemies soon welcomed in 15, 20, 30 members into their humble ranks. These are the NPO agents mixed with the newcomers. Their goal is to destroy alliances from within, growing their nations and taking government positions. All to lure everyone under their abode. Once they get the majority of alliances under their control, their plan is to take all the resources, bring in Goons and BK and destroy alliances. They will destroy discords, kick members, and bombard the veterans as they take over the game. Then, they will destroy and keep down any who don't do as they wish. If you thought the last war was bad, the new age is frightening. These words do not represent the view of me, my alliance, or any of our allies. I, and my alliance, deny these allegations and consider it satire.

Ladies and gentlemen: I’m here to announce a quarantine. A pandemic of Pathetivirus as been detected in our area. All flights from the Pathetic Ocean have been cancelled. The rest of you are advised to either GIT GUD or STAY GUD. Social Distancing is in effect for people from the following alliances: Cameltoe Poolaris U Pissed Now (UPN). Some advice from Dr prof. hab. Snek, M.D.

Listen kid, I don't have much time. I have information that will permanently ban Ro-

Looks an awful lot like the theory I proposed two weeks ago.

Hrm... I mean, why wouldn't CotL just offer to pay the safekeeping back in deposits? Leaking is no good, sure, but (and please correct me if I'm wrong here), there hadn't been any leaks from Odin prior to this thread. Possibly not even then? So CotL is holding Odin responsible for something that they knew was purely Lory's actions? Or are they holding the entirety of NP's member base responsible for the actions of a single member? If there's further context, I'd be most interested in hearing it, otherwise it looks like (prior to this thread at least) that CotL straight robbed one of their old members without reasonable cause. Now that the thread is public of course, that rubicon has been clearly crossed and the justification for expecting a return has gone up in smoke, but it's still concerning to see the precedent that this sets: tl;dr: CotL confiscating their own members' safekeeping on a false pretense? (Once the thread happened, of course, the crime's been done and ironically the confiscation becomes retroactively justified, so gg on that) Am I wrong here? I'd be perfectly willing to admit to it if I am.

Currently the only person who works closely with Alex and give advice on changes/updates (that I know of) is Prefontaine. My proposal is to extend that to a good-sized group of well-known and respected players who will give honest and constructive input on new changes to the game. This'll help with the issues of last update and controversy over recent rule changes and allow ordinary players from a variety of backgrounds to give their input directly to Alex before misguided new changes come out. stolen from @Vein

My nation "Republica Of India", Nation ID - 147881 was banned for the offence "Using Moderation as a weapon" which is completely wrong. I know the nation of DTC Justice appealed on PW support to ban me. The inquiry was made on it by Epi and Dryad and as a conclusion no proof was found, i was not found guilty. The screenshots sent by DTC Justice doesn't revealed true story behind the actual incidence. This ban is a complete disaster. I have a proof which says i was not using moderation as weapon. I was only trying to get 100% convinced that DTC Justice had a multi. I didn't asked for any favor from him. I was just checking random nations for multis, i found that DTC Justice had a multi and i reported to the discord staff before DMIng him. I am also attaching that file that bot sent. I didn't knew that bot was 100% correct so i reported to the staff, but later on i realized that bot is not 100% correct. @Borg and @Sri Lanka 001told me that bot is not 100% so i apologized to the staff for wasting their time. I also know a screenshot DTC sent where it's written that i am saying "bribe is an option" but what i mean by that is bribe is an option in real world as people are corrupt in real life but i am not in game .Also i have send after that i am not asking for bribe and i won't work for bribe. As a result, i had no intentions of using moderation as a weapon and i was not at all asking for any bribe as been clearly seen in the screenshot. The things are just being misjudged, so i request alex or sheepy to please unban my nation from politics and war, ASAP. Oath_multi_report.txt

I have a wayyyy better idea that doesn't involve taking away any autonomy from @Alex and stops the "insiders" from getting an unfair advantage(for instance, someone told me about the changes a day before, while all the info wasn't there, enough was, and this, and others were able to plan for bits and pieces of it. That isn't fair for the average player.) Solution: Put a 14 day hold on any changes, the announcement comes out, but changes don't start for 14 days, this is to allow player input and insight, and also prohibit unfair advantages from the insiders who help with these changes. That is a fair, tolerable solution that everyone can walk away happy with.

What if you (or me) were NPO agents and we just forgot? What if we were taken in by Pacifica, developed friendships, and then infiltrated alliances on behalf of our comrades. Then, as the time went on and we made new friends in new alliances, we just... forgot our original mission. Who are our true brothers and sisters? The people in the alliance we're in? Our comrades in Pacifica? Are we traitors if we help Pacifica? Are we traitors if we don't? My stomachs is in knots. My chest is thumping. I think I'm going to be sick.

This is NPO level paranoia.

Glad to see you back Kastor.

Look at that paint job

Can bet Alex will just ignore this as he always does

Tying the treasury cap to city-count also provides an avenue for an easy project addition: a national treasury that buffs the per-city cash cap. For example: At 33 cities, a base $100k/city cap allows me $3.3m unraidable; a project that buffs the per-city treasury cap by 50% allows me $4.95m unraidable; a project that buffs the per-city treasury cap by 100% allows me $6.6m unraidable.

Hi, I am George Clark, the Leader of Vabatuian. I am here to welcome myself to the community of Politics and War people.

So recently, Alex made a new rule that treasures could no longer be traded, instead, they can inly be fought over. However, we’ve been playing this game for a long time, and no one minus arrgh or if its on a micro, ever fights over treasures. So you’ve been nerfing treasures since they came out, from the beginning when they were strong and actually useful, then when they were abused you reverted the changes to them, nerfing them to the point where you couldn’t stack them. Now after removing that, you’ve now removed the only medium of actually using treasures. So either you need to buff treasures or remove the rule, otherwise, why would alliances even pursue treasures? The payoff isn’t enough for a war, and now you can’t trade them. @Alex

Lmao

Alex leaking opsec tax info lol Also the first treasure gives 2% and 2 treasures give 2.83% @Alex not 4%

At best you're going to get him to undo certain oversights but he won't revert or massively change things.

DTC Justice is clearly dodgy from these screenshots, actively sought to find rules to ban someone for a crime they didnt commit. Deleting his own messages afterwards to hide incriminating evidence, legend should be unbanned and DTC banned in his place for knowingly falsely reporting someone

After all the stuff I've seen taking place here, this totally doesn't sound like a conspiracy theory to me.

Roquentin is a moron. He ruined Umbrella. He ruined NPO. He is a disappointment.

Shifty is like a 9 month pregnant woman and Pizza Hut. Shifty delivers also good luck out pizza-ing me. ayy lmao

Epi fk off, it took us forever to get ck off of pink

I saw Polar/IQ/et al's definition of FA Yeah, no thanks

Now that the initial wave of rage has slowed down, and now that people have had some time to see how the new update works, I'm proposing some revisions to the recent game update to improve it across the board and balance things out. 1) Military Score Changes. Tanks were buffed yet their score was nerfed more than planes, which actually were nerfed. Change the scores for tanks from 0.009 per tank to 0.015 per tank. 2) Make the unraidable money limit city-based to boost low tier raiders. For every three cities, have the unraidable limit go up by $100,000. Example: Cities 1-3, it's 100K. In 4-6, it's 200K. In 13-15, it's 500K, and 25-27 it's 900K. This also evens out war, since for someone with 5 cities 200K is enough money to rebuy some units, but for someone with 25 cities it's hardly anything. 3) The ground control changes were some of the most disliked changes in the update. Although I had some ideas on how to change it, after some discussion with a group of players reversion seems to be the best way to go until more ideas can be put on the table and a balanced solution could be found. It's better than what we have now, since planes already got a decent nerf this isn't especially needed. 4) Change the maximum amount of planes to 20 per hangar, 4 hangars per city, with a 1/4 (or 1/5) rebuy. This is less planes than people could have before, but they can buy planes faster now. 5) Readjust some of the casualty rates. This will balance things out and also slightly reduces the nerf to planes, which in most peoples opinions were a tad too much. Avg Soldiers Killed in a Ground Battle: 25% -> 35% Avg Aircraft Killed in an Airstrike (not dogfight): 29% -> 34% Airstrikes on Units Soldiers Killed Airstrike: 25% -> 35% Tanks Killed Airstrike: 14% -> 25% Aircraft Killed Airstrike (Dogfight): 53% -> 65% And if you don't want to revert the changes to Ground Control: Aircraft Killed by Tanks in a Ground Battle: 42% -> 27% (only after Ground Control has been established) That fixes a lot of the most disliked parts of the last update and balances things out in general. If you have any questions or anything, just ask.

The latest change to the safe-money cap seems to have been poorly thought out. You've essientially considerably cut down any raiding profits to be made in the lower tiers on what seems to be an arbitrary number. I don't see how it makes any sense that the safe-money cap is the same across the entire game from a 1 city nation to a 45 city nation. 1 million means extremely different things to both nations. Would it not be smarter to tie the cap to cities? Say 100k per city or something? You've already basically killed making new alliances from scratch in this game with the other changes, raiding was one of the very few ways people could attempt to catch up.

Fairly simple just add a additional section for the alliance bank to directly buy and sell to it's members.

It'd have to be worth several billion my dude. Either having or having multiple would, neither is the case now. Even if you made it the case, with treasure buying being illegal, conflict for them is still a non thing. People would be ok to take the buffs their sphere or alliance gets naturally because other alliances and spheres won't likely get more, if treasure buying was still in place, pirates would still loot treasures, sell to the highest bidder, and may create an imbalance. If you want a conflict Alex, you do not merely need to make a value worth fighting over, you need to make an imbalance capable of forming with it. Otherwise there's just no reason not to take the buff my mass member AA is statistically more likely to get and be happy with it and accept others may get one too. No, we don't mind that. Most people wouldn't, not worth it too. However we might mind if someone started getting multiples and stacking them. Treasure Island nearly started a war itself, and for good reason.

@dtc justiceYes i know i made false accusations of you having a multi which was just a misunderstanding which i am extremely sorry for. I checked that you had multi but i didnt knew that bot is wrong. But i had clearly no intentions for asling bribe and i have sent the ss where i have clearly said that i dont want bribe. In no sentence i was asking you to pay bribe, so i would request you to reconsider your appeal against me and release me from this misjuged accusations. I would really appreciate your co-operativeness. Thanks.

Slot filling has never been accepted, he just expanded what is considered slot filling that's all.

Another user reported that Vineet threatened to report them if they didn't pay him money as well. The ban appeal is denied.

Probably Denison, he has a habit of eating glue and paint.

In unrelated news, all of the lead paint we put up in the General Debate forum to prevent all of the real world political from leeching out and poisoning the rest of the board appears to have been licked off overnight. Does anyone have any leads about that?

WHAT

@Jhon Move your nation to a continent that produces Bauxite list can be found n the wiki https://politicsandwar.fandom.com/wiki/Resources

This is a cop-out Alex said when he made treasures it was more or less to provide conflict. There has never been any major conflict over treasures. The one time we got close, he nerfed them. I want to see something good.

Sadly, Alex’s decision making is far less informed than that of well informed players like Leopold, Valk, Thalmor, etc. Alex has an annoying habit of not thinking through any of the possible consequences of his updates when they happen, and then when said consequences occur that anyone could have predicted, he never admits his fault.

"parts of the new update be rolled back" =/= "the changes are bad"

To be fair, the purpose of the war was not to slot-fill the target, but to remove the bounty. Regardless, if you do think this to be slot filling, I'd ask you to give Changeup a break this time, because removing bounties this way has been legal for as long as I played, and most players(all that I've met with at least) were also under this impression. Furthermore, if you do go ahead and push this, I'd implore you to specify that in the rules, as technically speaking, removing bounties this way is not against the rules.

Looks like the Hizu is back again making multis. He's been rebanned, along with 4 other accounts. Locking thread.

smoke weeb every day

You hold no credibility, nor are you or your alliance in any position to make a moral judgement on anything, really. You're best off buggering off before t$ dropkicks you out of the rankings.

This is just pathetic.

As long as alliances exist that don't take any effort to teach their noobs, and just chew them in and spit them out, retention will always be a problem. Only so much can be done on the mechanics side. This game is already fairly niche as a genre.

Tbf, the video promoting the game wasn't that good at representing what the game was about.

Speak for.l yourself and your clown shoes mate, my comment is great in that it has zero bearing on the current market or whether or not it "heals", because my comment is pointing out that you'd make said market massively shrink in demand anyway, and then be flooded by supply. So the current market is literally irrelevant to my point. I use not even 1k bauxite a day, id only need 10 bauxite mining cities lol. Out of 25. Or in other words, you'd nuke noobs income source because I can native manu with positive raw production. Try your own thinking next time before breaking out the snark next time. ?
