PnW Players, I don't talk on the forums much anymore, and as of late I've been trying to cut back on my discord chatting too, however I decided to make this forum post to call attention to something that has affected me and the people around me. A little over a week ago on August 27th, Hurricane Laura made landfall as a Category 4 Hurricane on the Southwest Louisiana coast. At first the storm was forecasted to only be around Category 2 strength, however the storm ended up being worse than just about any other storm to ever hit Louisiana, and as of the time of writing this, there are still over 250,000 people in Southwest Louisiana without Electricity and a good chunk of those don't have running water either. In the worst hit areas surrounding Lake Charles, Louisiana, many people lost everything, I know many friends who live in the area that lost their entire house and have no place to go, some are even staying in tents in the places where their houses used to be. Recovery efforts are underway, however local officials have said that people in the Lake Charles area could be without power and water for weeks. I got power back this past Wednesday, fortunately for me, the area where I live was spared the worst of it, however we are still a ways away from any sort of "normal". I personally am in a good position, my house came out fine from the storm, and my family also managed to make it out. However, this past week, the more I watched the news, the more I realized that our plight had almost been lost in the void. After the first couple of days or so, people just stopped talking about us. Things are not okay here, and they won't be okay here for awhile, and I wanted to raise awareness of that. I specifically wanted to ask those of you that can, to please donate to the recovery efforts in place. Below is a link to donate to the Red Cross, they personally helped me quite a bit through the week where I didn't have power, providing warm meals among many other things to people who needed it and I've heard that they're doing great things over in the Lake Charles area. To be clear, I'm not asking for any money myself, I don't need it, but I want to see those who were affected severely receive the care that they need. I've been frustrated these past few days because it feels as though my little corner of the world has been forgotten in our time of most need. I also felt the desire to help those in need, however didn't quite know what to do about it and I hope that by making this post that I can help make somewhat of a difference, I feel that even just making others aware of what is going on here is a step in the right direction. Thanks for at least reading this message, and once again, I urge you to donate money if you are financially secure enough to make such a donation. https://www.redcross.org/donate/donation.html/

Y'all are the walmart brand CoA

Yay we are even better friends!!!

So now we're posting shitty fakes. Here is an actual picture of my account name and profile picture Please notice how this fake has my profile picture waaaaaaaaaaay zoomed in and pixelated. The fake also doesn't have my clan brackets symbolizing my ties to Avansies Gaming. This doesn't even deserve a look as this is clearly created by a robot. No human would stoop to the indecent low of trying to fake something so horribly sinister like this. I call for OZAI the leader of HORDE EMPIRE to be permanently banned for his shameless and downright horrendous lying and slander.

Hey everyone! I am excited to announce that thanks to the help of Kevanovia, Charlie Traveler, and Dr. Rush we are going to be hosting the Politics and War Discord Server's first ever radio show tonight at 9PM Central Time (US). (2:00AM Saturday Server Time.) Great Job! with Kev and Charlie will debut Friday Sept. 4th @ 9PM Central. I (Alex) will be the first guest. Be sure to tune into the conversation where we will be discussing updates, the Politics & War culture, the ongoing war, and more. To tune in, join the Politics and War Discord Server. There will be a channel group available later with a #radio channel to join in and listen. Going forward, we are hoping to make this a regular occurrence. Hopefully this will better engage the whole community and make things more fun and accessible for all!

@Borg What makes you drag the OP's alliance into it? I don't know what you have against t$, but if you read his post you would have seen that the problem he is addressing is literally about new player retention and growth. Not all of his ideas were perfect, but that's exactly what forums are for, collaboration. We are here for one purpose, to make the game a better place for new and existing players. I'm sure that is something we can all agree on. There is no reason to bring affiliation into it just because you have a vendetta. If you think the changes are ridiculous, say it without alienating. Your argument is over as soon as you bring affiliation into it. Present your case, don't alienate.

Considering I was part of the original tJest that compromised of barely 24 people that attacked IQ with 700 nations in it and did 45 bil damage like 3 years ago or so when plane casualties were actually high and whales could be suicides into, I can tell you that using terms like rank 9 or rank 1 or rank 62 does not exactly do anything in a game that was war ranges as a key component of its gameplay. And I know you all know this too considering you were trying to get schrute to pay up after declaring on them if they wanted to be free of your "skirmishes". If you want to raid around and have fun then by all means bro you can, wouldn't have cared at all about it. I actually like and respect you a lot Kimmy and I am all for the memeing you are doing but don't bring statistics into this that do little to back any narrative. Have your fun, do your hits and enjoy the fight.

Wait, so when I revenge war Atlas for their cruel attacks on me. Exhibit A: Cat Commander Jordan of Manitoba South ordered a naval attack upon the nation of Aneles and eliminated 14 Resistance. The attack was an immense triumph. Cat Commander Jordan's forces lost 0 ships, while High Queen Vexz's defenders lost 0 ships. The attack destroyed 1.30 infrastructure in the city of Eyrie. Does that mean Camelot will counter me? If so, make sure to have Aero and Azazel on that task force, for no particular reason...

Congrats guys on the upgrade.

o7 you guys showed so much promise with tremendous growth! Happy to upgrade ❤️

Congrats guys!

Congrats guys!~

Good luck everyone! Hope you do well, greetings from your friends in Rose

After a history of being on ends with the fellas in Camelot, growing closer too these guys before Atlas Technologies made our protectorate status with them a breeze. Couldn't ask for a better addition to our PW family. I'm extremely proud of the Atlas Technologies leadership team and all of our members who work hard to get us where we are today. ❤️ Aero

Congrats on the treaty!!

I just can't leave them in the dark from this masterpiece.

You have been unbanned.

Discord mod checking in, unless this happened in the official PW server (it didn't the logs say so) there is nothing I can do. This is a matter for Discord's Trust and Safety Team which oversees their platform globally. Instructions: https://support.discord.com/hc/en-us/articles/360000291932-How-to-Properly-Report-Issues-to-Trust-Safety Please note: Your screenshots are worthless as evidence discord will want links to the messages.

To clarify this a bit, my protectorate, Alan started raiding Horde. Horde had no strong allies, and its the micro world. Anyways, Alan attacked them, gave them a ransom of 50M, and then this quickly spiraled into false pedophile claims. There is absolutely no evidence, the screenshot is fake. Ill attach some real ones for evidence sake. These little shits forged a screenshot of Alan saying that solely to blackmail peace. This is a pathetic way to barter your peace, Horde. The bottom is his friend when he switched to Alans name to forge the shots. The top is the actual Alan. Note: that's also before he switched to Alan's pfp Here is the real person who made that message, I believe this IS the nephew.

Thank you all for dropping by, we all had a ton of fun! Thank you @Alex for being a wonderful guest.

Nobody is looking to start anything nor did we indicate that you had judged Schrute. Most of us passed judgement against him and his AA long ago, their FA shows this judgement is spread very far and wide and the current situation has done nothing except reinforce said judgement, rightfully so frankly. Furthermore, i think your statement would make more sense if it was about ASM perhaps, but Schrute is an ASM ally via an optional treaty, not a Rose ally. If Rose wants to defend Schrute, they should sign them. When you consider that Schrute has 5 nations and their M-level ally WTF has a further 4 in the appropriate range capable of handling the...4 and dwights immediate reaction was not to defend themselves with their own nations but immediately go begging for help to other AAs, some of which they have no relations with is downright laughable. I guess it's honorable that Rose is willing to oA on an oD to defend the FA black sheep of the game, but it's frankly just defending an AA that can't seem to defend itself, doesn't deserve to be defended and will not repay the favor in the future.

This is impossible. Akuryo doesn't and has never had honor. I'd have returned it to Walmart for a frozen pizza anyway.

Not trying to start something here, so I'm just going to clarify. I made no judgement on the character of Dwight or his alliance. I experienced the same events as y'all, and I have opinions. Frankly though, my comment had nothing to do with SF rather it had to do with Rose. This is now the second time that Rose has countered for an ally in an unenviable position where they probably could've gotten away with not helping out. First with the KT hit that GGFU didn't counter and now this. To me, that shows a bit of consistency in principle, and that's what I was appreciating. It's a viewpoint that I share: you sign treaties then you reasonably honor them. That's all I was saying as a fellow adherent of the honourgland.

It's not the first time Rose has stood up for someone who others wouldn't. Recalls KT right after NPOLT. Respect for that. Honor, amirite!

*tinfoil hat* This war was just an excuse to extend a sphere-wide NAP between HM/Swamp/tCW so that they can strike at Quack and/or Rose with impunity. The 90 day NAP was the goal, the 10 day war was the price.

The Church of Ayytom has once again entered a state of total war, last time CoA decided to protect a person not to our liking... The Church had no other choice but to release it's nuclear arsenal... After 30 nooky bois had been sent flying, over the span of a couple of days the war ended... This time however The Church faces another threat... A vile threat... A bunch of opportunistic rats... The Church hereby pledge to rid the world of these rats... The alliance known as micro pockyclypse entered a skirmish with the rank 9 alliance Schrute Farms only to have them lay there as a dead fish and go looking elsewhere for help, rather than countering themselves... They had no luck in some places, but in other they found something... They found the rats! This is where the rank 1 alliance joined the war against a 4 man alliance involved in another war. They chose to defend the pixelhuggers in the Farms, and as it stands, The Church now face more alliances than it has members... There is no other choice now... Total war is upon us, we will never surrender... The 110 day war has started! https://countingdownto.com/?c=3194671 TLDR; Rose decided to be the fun police, now they will pay for it

i'm drunk what happen?

That's odd. I can fix that for you.

Commonwoes

I would say start small with just the separation of project and city timers; If you really wanted to, increase the limit before timer kicks in to 12-15 cities as Keegoz suggested. While I think the 4 credit cost to reset timer is almost never worth it, I don't think being able to buy 6 cities in one day is a good idea. Unless you cap the amount of times you can reset your timer in a month, I would leave the cost alone.

ty 09/04 10:39 am An unknown nation has committed an act of terrorism against your country. They successfully detonated an explosive in your city, City 5, terrorizing civillians and destroying 1.00 infrastructure. 09/04 10:38 am An unknown nation has committed an act of terrorism against your country. They successfully detonated an explosive in your city, City 4, terrorizing civillians and destroying 1.00 infrastructure Seems abit weak might need a buff/change lol

And absolutely everyone ITT agrees with the sentiment that we should help new alliances find ways to actually succeed. Now, perhaps you'd like to expand on that thought beyond wooly platitudes and empty sound bites and consider how to actually achieve this noble goal? Better and more comprehensive tutorials, perhaps? Encourage players to learn the game and be prepared for the rigors of creating an alliance before taking the plunge? Have Mr. Lairotut pay new alliances to make their first treaty? Perhaps while we're at it he could pay new players to apply to an alliance and click their discord? More importantly, how about those new players? Should they really be encouraged to have an unfulfilling experience with an alliance that can't provide what they promise to? Should their expectations be regularly and deliberately deceived by alliances that do not and never have known what they were doing? Simply put, how is it going to be 'fun' to go into making an alliance with big dreams, only to be completely crushed due to being insurmountably unprepared for the challenge of doing so? I mean seriously now, look at this alliance that I linked to earlier: https://politicsandwar.com/alliance/id=7725 Would you actually say that they're "having fun"? They created an alliance with friends, picked up a couple newbie recruits... and half are not even playing anymore. Yep, that's a surefire sign of a satisfied customer Yes, that is pretty much the idea at least for my part.

I’ll try be there

Would you say that it's like rain on your wedding day? Or a free ride when you already paid? What about some good advice you just didn't take?

Actually I am exceptionally intuitive, but you don't grow by staying in your safe zone. This place is made of pixels, and as I mentioned, I use business sims in my work. I always tell clients or students to go ahead and try things they would not do IRL, because that's what simulations are for. I am super tolerant of free speech as long as it is a conversation - this can be achieved IRL, and no one gets up in my grill IRL because I am huge and fearsome looking with scars on my forearms and face - I look like a hit man in my fedora. Here is some intuition for you: Insanity is rare in individuals but common in groups. Folks like this can't follow anything more than your last comment, and their only objective is to get a rise from someone. This is the ban list from the last 48 hours on my server: Any advice on how to sort this out? These are the worst trolls of Orbis, and they were all under the roof of MS - I had previously kicked some of them from Yarr for racist trolling, and joined MS at Mars' insistence in a moment of doubt at being to harsh on them. I was right the first time around. It is hard to cradle a love for free speech when it has become a dog-whistle to the far right these days, and I just hae having to ban people because the only thrill they get out their empty lives is to make base insults.

9pm? How young do you think I am? *waves cane around*

After a short 2 week conflict between the alliances that compose tCW sphere, and the combined alliances of Hedge and Swamp. We have agreed to the following terms for peace between our Spheres, which will take effect starting at update tonight. 1) tCW sphere formally surrenders to Hedge and Swamp Spheres. 2) All existing wars will end to conclusion, (peace will be granted if both warring nations agree), no new wars to be declared after peace officially takes effect at next server update (aka 2 hours). New wars declared after peace is declared, will be worked out amicably between alliances. 3) 3 month nap between Hedge/Swamp, and TCW sphere, which includes all protectorates less MicroPock. This NAP will end at update on December 1st. Signed, Members of Swamp, Hedge, and TCW's Sphere... I am too lazy to get signatures for everybody. On behalf of the members in Hedge, I want to thank Swamp for their hard work and dedication to this fight, and I would like to thank the nations we fought in tCW's sphere. Despite your overwhelming odds, you were all classy opponents, and its nice to have a war where we are not at each others throats and can fight with at least a little bit of humor and grace. Let's hope this becomes the norm and not the exception in orbis going forward. Note: Morningstar is not included in these peace terms.

The difference is KT is actually useful and will stick up for itself. Dwight is such a pixel hugger he immediately went begging to other spheres for counters and bounties and anything else. This of course ignoring too how he was among the fastest to jump on the boat out of town when the game needed a United fist against NPO. He deserves nothing he has or is receiving, including now. Sorry, but just sticking up for someone others wouldn't doesn't make you righteous. It should be pretty obvious without examples why that is.

It is true. I used to do intl business development for Oracle, FedEx, Network Associates, and then was responsible for training Goodyear's sales force in EMEA (1000 sales people in 27 language groups). How did I wind up here? My primary means of training is through complex web based business strategy simulations... I am old as dirt, and there are some things I wished I had never seen or experienced, but what does not kill you makes you stronger. I knew you were a cat. I was not addressing you. If I were, J would have written in meow. You are even more if an idiot than me, and that says a lot. Just look at your seething.

Anyone who cares about the games health and growing the number of active and involved players does. Good to know where you stand on that though.

Speedrunning challenge but it’s how long it takes someone to bring up NPO in a completely unrelated thread

Poor thing. Is your cross heavy?

The "Ten-Day War"

It's amazing what happens when the winning side of a conflict isn't dedicated to winning the game by cheating, player attrition, and other underhanded tactics.

A distress call has been received in Zakuul, it seems to be our new vassal planet seeking for assistance with hostiles. The hostiles seem to be wearing a radiant silver armour that shines brightly with the light of the sun. The foreign chancellor can be seen readying up a holocrom that holds the details of this new war against our beloved ally that is Demacia - oh GGFU yeah them. The Holocrom is presented to the Eternal Emperor, who is seen standing by the throne as he stared out into the galaxy. It doesn't take long for the holocrom to play for the Emperor to give out the official order to ready the Eternal Fleet. From the command bridge of the Eternal Fleet Command Ship, the planet of GGFU can be seen being set up in a blaze as the White Knights crusade. The Emperor will then state: "In the darkness, only ambition will guide you
