This war is literally older than your nation.

Did you ever hear the tragedy of Darth Noob the pixelhugger? I thought not. It's not a story Lord Tyrion would tell you. It's an Orbis legend. Darth Noob was a Dark Lord of the Sith, so powerful and so pixelhuggy he could use the Force to influence the midichlorians to create... infra. He had such a knowledge of the dark side that he could even keep the ones he cared about from losing their pixels. The dark side of the Force is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be... unnatural. He became so powerful the only thing he was afraid of was losing his infra, which eventually, of course, he did. Unfortunately, he taught his apprentice everything he knew, then his apprentice burned his infra in his sleep. It's ironic he could save others from losing their infra, but not himself. Gib upvotes or else

You're right. As a proud member of (Insert pixelhugging alliance here), I really hate how much my score has dropped. I'm a trading nation only, and I'm very very distraught over how people have declared on me when I do not want to be associated with my alliance. I further do agree that the aggressors (one of which is my pixelhugging alliance) should peace. Score means a lot to me as does peacetime. As such, with as much power I wield, I wish to be declared peaceful and neutral on Orbis. Please don't hurt my nation. Thanks.

He said amusing.

We don't need a third to make a trifecta with Fist and Phoenyx.

New city scores being 100 means anyone with a few cities above yours that still has very healthy infra w/ mil cannot be hit if you do not similarly have healthy infra w/ even medium military. This is an effect of the city score changes tightening the ranges both with down declares and up declares. I believe the up declare limit should be broadened to less restrict the ranges which people can war with above as it wouldn’t cause an unfair advantage militaristically to updeclare (this would only make it so people with even less cities than before can dec on the defender). It would only serve to make it so people cannot hide at high tier with ridiculously high scores. People shouldn’t be able to have the benefits of insanely high infra making money each day, having more improvements and projects without risking being able to get declared on by a losing side due to the war ranges tightening. effectively making them not risk as much with more benefits. Why is this a problem? When people are rebuilding 35 cities to 3k infra yet cannot be effectively punished by a large amount of the opposing side simply because they are out of range tells me something is wrong. to put it into perspective a similar c35 at low infra would have to build 1100 score worth of troops to even barley reach that c35 with max mil. (Max soldiers Max planes + 4000 tanks) this gap only grows larger as you have less cities than the target due to cities being weighted more than troops now, meaning you require more troops while the city scores widen the gap. I don’t believe that players should be this hard capped to declaring someone who has an advantage over them if they choose to in order to bring their infrastructure down. Another example is reaching some of the extreme whales who have over 4k infra is virtually impossible for almost all of the player base, meaning they gain the benefits of 4k infra while having LESS risk of being declared on than if they built less infra? Suggestion : +175% -> 200% Up declare range

Seems like a bit of a mischaracterization to me. Nobody got upset with you for not knowing things. People got upset with you for not knowing things but asserting that you most assuredly do know things.

Ah the sweet innocence

As an Arrgh commodore, I would like to announce that we haven't signed a NAP. We congratulate all the parties on their peace and wish them a speedy rebuild, though.

These shitposts are becoming tiresome.

Is shitposting on OWF some sort of fad now?

As a proud member of the Global Alliance Treaty Organization, I have known that our side has been winning Global War 16. It is about time for the Aggressors, (Alliances like Eclipse and TKR) to surrender. One of the Aggressors, the Amarr Empire has had their score fall from 98K to 50K. This is due to the high-intensity fighting alliances like GATO have sent towards the Amarr Empire. I feel that at this time, it would be best for the aggressors to surrender, their scores have gone to trash while defender scores are relatively steady. Hopefully, the war ends soon so times can get back to normal.

It wasn't that he didn't know them that well, it's that he's an immature fool who thinks anything opposing whomever he dislikes for whatever reason is good regardless of what that thing is. That you agree with him at all or think anything he says is thoughtful, intelligent, insightful, or contains anything of substance or quality at all by any metric or measurement, is quite the final tell-all showing for anyone left undecided of why you are an entity not worth the time to converse with in any capacity not meant to amuse oneself by egging on your guttural delusional nonsense wherein anything you say or think about the world is true or even matters in the slightest because it came from you. You have graduated, utterly and unequivocably, from being merely an annoying noob overestimating their presence, to a complete laughable pariah, on every level and at every juncture, to find only acceptance among others of your kind, the equivalent of homeless men in alleyways remarking about the beauty of their new rolex made of stale biscuit and chives tied around their wrists to the tuxedo of cardboard you wore whilst gloriously elucidating the truth to world leaders at marvelous galas, taking place under bridges after your literal dumpster of a limousine was pushed down a hill by bored teens looking for a laugh at the expense of the delusional homeless man. To say you have failed would be a soulless slaughter of the english language, for you have crafted a debacle of the most serene and magnificent of scales. Good day to you, sir, and alas now, begone.

Which Alliance are you part of? Lets stop this theatre of war!

Can we get some sort of automation that runs on nation creation and at least flags this nonsense for mods? It shouldn't be on the player base to deal with something a simple bot could do.

imagine caring about score in a war

The sky was bright, the sea was blue, a calm and peaceful day When that boy came to the door and took my love away The Captain's call, the call to war, I pleaded, begged, dismayed My love left me late at night, he was unconvinced to stay The wives and women of these men stood waiting by the sea Waiting, screaming, crying out to watch our lovers leave As the ships unfurled their burly masts, the birds startled did flee I could not express in words what would be lost to me The shriek of cries, of dying men rang out in mid November I could see the dying boys at night, their faces I'll always remember The flashes of light the sea was red it was glowing like an ember The war looked like it would drag on, at least until December I dreamed of death my lover drowning, laying with fishes on The Reef I feared of his soul being lifted by Angels, I cried and wallowed in grief I feared that he'd lose his Wei, no Compass packed in his sheaf I wept and begged that Atlantis would not steal him like a thief I do not know how my lover did die, how he met his demise I do not know of the evil men that required our boys to arise To fight a war we did not want, a foe that slept in disguise I only wish to meet them as friends under these dark Black Skies. The following alliances have signed peace and have agreed to 45 day (or paperless) NAPs: For Anti-Black Skies Coalition & Company: The Archangels Atlantian Council The Wei TheNorthWesternSouthRegionofthefarEast Mandalore Genesis For Black Skies & Company: Black Skies Arrgh In Memoriam: The Reef We hold no ill will towards the combatants of this war. While it was sloppy for both sides we've taken great leaps in learning our strengths and weaknesses and will work towards a better and brighter future. o/

Mate this isn't America, this is Orbis. Even then, 1A doesn't prevent backlash from what you say. Just... learn how the game community works, please I beg you.

He has freedom to chose to speak or not and he chose to speak. Read the American Constitution

This game's called Politics & War. Before I was around there was literally an 8 month slog. If you want peace so much, become the high gov leader of an AA - pull out somehow - and watch as your former allies crush you for war dodging. TKR, apparently. Source: Nation younger than the war is.

Also my 1000th post wew lads and lasses

@Patriot_Optimia if I were you I'd take a look at the downvotes, consider what sins you've committed, and then reroll.

There's a first time for everything.

From my point of the view, the Ayy lmaos are evil!

Stop making feel old

Don't worry friend. MPO (Micro Pockyclypse) is here and ready to help o7

The war ends when your coalition becomes sufficiently apologetic for deciding to sic its most prolific shitposters on us.

~160 offensive wars since Nov. 6th / 33 members = <5 offensive wars per nation "high intensity fighting"

Wait? Is GATO part of the war? I have totally forgot to surrender to nuke you. Funny as soon as our side has managed to pull back the net damage gap by nearly 20 billion the calls for quick surrender appear 🤷‍♂️

"Master Tyrion guide us. Master Tyrion teach us. Master Tyrion protect us. In your light we thrive. In your mercy we are sheltered. In your wisdom we are humbled. We live only to serve. Our lives are yours."

I was born in '92 and I definitely don't get the reference.

You're neither the truth bearer, nor are you seemingly aware of the irony of such statement.

who is hime-sama? i only know skitz.

I dont know if i should upvote the effort or downvote the no tldr

Alex make a shit post section.

Wait this alliance affairs? *deletes post about chicken mcnuggets*

you can go back to eating baguettes now :serious:

Fair is fair, I moved the other thread to the National Affairs forum (as it was a direct nation-to-nation appeal) and so I have moved this one as well.

I meant that waging war here is the dull part- click, click, "utter failure", "triumph", etc. The interesting part is in how we got here and the ongoing negotiations to get out of it.

I find your lack of shitposting disturbing YOU BROUGHT BK HERE TO KILL ME YOU TURNED THE RNG AGAINST ME I have brought peace, freedom, justice, and security to my new sphere.

Your first bit is exactly my point. The system and stats in general of $$ gained and lost will do little to properly measure the war's effects. Using score is just as dumb. So since you agreed with me, I guess I'll just try to answer your question. I don't have to parrot or agree with uninformed members within my own alliance and they are not my "sonny". They are an alliance member and I'll defend them on the battlefield, but not in OOC rhetorical discussions. I think they can manage that much on their own. As for me, I represent myself and not some vague side when I'm on the forums; I would suggest that you form your own opinions as well instead of operating under the wrong premises of others. My point is that it is idiotic to measure the monetary cost since it excludes the factors that will eventually result in a peace, and that the current mechanics enforce that the underdog pay less money to do more damage. That's why you know, I responded to a post about the stats and not the rest of this trainwreck.

what did i just tell you 2 seconds ago about shutting up

Imagine migrating from another nation-sim game and not bothering to learn how the new one is played.. Never change GATO.

Sorry, last time I checked TKR's score is wayyy more than GATO's.

Oh my god, what kind of things have I stumbled upon today

Blitzes Amarr Empire

The poster was about Gorbachev / Partiboy ruining the economy. I myself was born [OOC] in the midst of perestroika. But for that we'd should open a topic in another subforum.

"GUUUUUHHGHHHHHHHHHHH" Partisan's retching echoed loudly through the chamber; the sound of his heaving magnified by the elegant yet spacious -almost cold- design of the ornamental throne room in which he had been locked as the war raged on. Despite the intensity of the disgusting smell of his vomit, a faint hint of whiskey had managed to penetrate the cloud of digestive fumes. Macallan Sherry Oak. Good stuff. Keshav raised his nose; "Duck you Partisan, Duck you and your alcohol problem! Now we're stuck here!" Partisan had been teetering on the edge of insanity for weeks now. Drifting in and out of consciousness, visited by those who had failed before him. Never alone, yet always solitary, he had responded the only way he knew how: Armed with his flask, he had challenged each of his tormentors head on in puzzles, riddles, debates and other such battles of wits until his wit had withered and waned, leaving but the fragmented shards of his humongous, exuberant e-peen as a medium of last resort in staving off the onslaught of mediocrity. Keegoz looked on from the corner cobweb he had nestled himself in a few days ago. His appearance had confused Partisan; Keegoz was neither retired nor lost to the abyss of deleted and inactive has-beens. He continued to scutter about with some regularity. Partisan had become exhausted of his perennial ankle-biting presence over the years. He had been the first and most persistent curse cast upon Partisan by the Ethereal Abbas. It dawned on Partisan that Keegoz' futile and fleeting existence in the governmental realms of what could only be described as satyrical satellites of Abassid design was akin to purgatory, thus explaining his presence here among the throng of subdued statesmen. Rubbing his temples, Partisan muttered: "I digress. Where were we?". With a high pitched voice, Cumfire continued his monologue on the malice of OWR. Partisan could distinguish the sound of a pigeon defecating in the distance. He lost focus and interrupted the Burger King manager. "What then is the purpose of all this. What universal application can be given to morality when its conceptual definition is disjointed even within the warped logic of an individual human mind? Righteousness...Righteousness and honour time and time again are crucified on the banners of the opportunistic and the lawless. Their descecrated corpses paraded around as rationality is delegated to playing second violin in an orchestra of hypocrisy. Justice. Justice is an afterthought in the face of political practicality. Why did I conform?" "Why did you, Partisan?" Roquentin smiled at him, his tiny hands tapped rhytmically on the bamboo table between them. Shadows danced across his facial features and his eyes betrayed a devilish amusement. Partisan had lasted long. But he would not last forever. Vigorous quacking rose up from the other side of the ornamented door as Partisan fell back into the darkness of his neverending nightmare. The war raged on.
