  1. From the desk of Pragglesan The bestest reporter ever Greetings, friends! On behalf of Habsburg News Hour I want to apologize to you! We knowingly clickbaited you friends! There is no easy ethical life hack. I had to get your attention because Exorock has made an unsettling discovery. You see. There are scammers in our midst! Hailing from the depths of egypt (for my american friends, this is egypt:) In egypt, they developed a system friends. It's called a pyramid! And now there are scammers in our midst friends! Scammers who are tricking unsuspecting new players into... ohhh I can't stand for this friends! Habsburg News Hour raises the alarm! Red flags! Outrage friends! I will start at the beginning! You see friends, recently we received the following testimony from an anonymous source! You see friend. This prompted us to do research! You see friends. Rose whales grow lots! And rose newbies less lots! Now rose newbies put half their money in the bank as an intry fee! Now friends. Eyes on the ball! Here is a link! Scour! https://politicsandwar.com/alliance/id=790 Friends, consider the Rose mission statement: Rose members contribute value to the alliance. Economic value that serves a higher purpose. This contribution is centralized. In the whale hoards! And the lowest levels fo this pyramid sacrifices for one another- the whale! I see you are not yet convinced friends. We have looked at the top rose nations and cross-calculate check algorithm'd it against our extensive habsburg royal marriage governance database of external alliances for union purposes (trademark leo'd). Through these advanced measures, we ended with the following list: Friends! Rose is a pyramid scheme! We as a community must come to action. We must boycott before more innocents fall victim to these scam artists! Exorock calls on all Rose victims to come forward and share their stories of economic abuse. Habsburg News Hour will give you your voice back. And together we may make a legal fist! For those friends among us who are old and slower in understanding (Greetings, Ronny friend!) I have summarized our reveal in this handy schematic. Please distribute it as you see fit in order to spread awareness! Ta!

  6. Look @Alex, these are really getting out of hand. The other night in order to declare 2 wars I and run attacks I had to put in 3 captchas in order to get through. Not to mention MAJORITY of the time when I go to trade I get them. It’s ridiculous that one needs to identify themselves 3 DIFFERENT times in 10 minutes. ESPECIALLY why do I need to put in 1 to declare war and then ANOTHER ONE to run attacks on the SAME TARGET I JUST DECLARED ON. Please fix this in some way, it is by far the most annoying thing in this game. I understand that we need to catch bots, but it shouldn’t be at the expense of ACTUAL players. and yes, my opponent was able to run 2 attacks on me in the time it took to do the captchas. I know other players have been upset about this too. thanks for reading alex and others o/

  10. Well, you did it. You took my one chance at happiness and crushed it, crushed it into tiny bite sized pieces. I really did expect better of you, but I guess i'm a loser for that too. Don't bother beiging me tomorrow, i'll tell them you all won in a triumphant march. So thanks, thanks for nothing. In all seriousness, I can't support myself playing this game anymore. The double standard for fascism in this game is absurd. Apparently it's okay to support literal white nationalists, but thinking they don't belong is too far and would dogpile us. Apparently realpolitik is more important than any political hill to die on. Apparently it's okay to think gay people are disordered, but not okay to say that opinion is not a good one. The level of salt that I eat playing this game far outweighs the joy I get from it, and even my dearest ASM comrades. It drains me way more than is worth my time compared to Valheim, Paradox titles, LEGO, and my non-PW comrades. Thanks @Redarmy and @Pasky Darkfire for opening up their lives to me. Thank you @Comrade Joe for giving me a chance so quickly into my tenure in this game. Thank you @Akuryo for being on my side in almost every debate and argument. Thank you @Aiya and @Menhera for being our Blankie Gang comrades in GNO. For yinz, I still wish to be friends. But this game is just self-harm for me. Consider this a win, KT - thanks to the liberals, yinz have free reign over Orbis's politics. Peace.

  14. I agree with this 100%. Especially because I'm operating with fairly slow internet more than I'd like. This leads to the Captcha server not connecting and returning an error message regularly, and of course the problem of Captcha verification taking so long that my fighting capabilities are diminished. This issue in particularly severe around day change, in which seconds can make the difference between a individual war (or multiple wars) going my way or not.

  17. I joined about two months ago, but I hadn’t really bothered to make a forums account until recently. Anyways, I’m Worchestershire. Here are some of my many interests: running, tap water, and wood working. I’m currently an E$ lackey, but I’m working hard to become a full on goon. I’m not too great at conclusions so I’m just going to end abruptly.

  18. Bruh Quack is, by all accounts, just a pole in a multi-polar world. They're only a threat because it suits your narrative and gives the war-hawks a target to beat the drums against. Please refer to this high quality graph and you'll see quack is significantly outnumbered in the game and "the threat" will actually just be a dogpile every time.

Pavitistvo Kozatskiya | Павитиство Козацкия Pavitelstvo Kazakiya | Павителство Казакия 哥萨克政府 - 哥薩克政府 | Gesake Zhengfu Pamahalaan ng Bansang Kosakya | Government of Cossackia National Affairs Briefing Note: Before you assume that this will all be about the Gacha Community (as it is part of our charter), read the entire briefing. Do also note that the events are only semi-fictional and semi-custom. For the monarch names, I have no intent to break your Lese-Majeste laws. And all the events are more based on real-life politics than Orbis. Enjoy! Cossackia will have a treaty with Daeltheria and set up an embassy, and it will be one in our charters. 🤝 We openly speak out against and denounce Sherbase12 and the UTUBETROLLPOLICE even further, as to let its allies fight with us only to be crushed as they wished. We have 5 war slots and there are no inactive players, we are happy to crush you all those who are blinded and those that assume. We will provoke them until they are weakened and looted. Things that are currently being discussed: Animesexualism. Although an insult the the LGBTQ+ Community, is it really worth it? Early Marriage. Something to boost up the nation's populations, but everyone can't have intercourse. The population age of Cossackia is between 8-17 years old, making it one of the most youngest populations in the world. Foreign Policy. Because we are unsure of what to do now. We are in search of people who can answer our posts to make things a bit lively, thank you. And that's it for today's briefing. Thank you.

Pavitistvo Kozatskiya | Павитиство Козацкия Pavitelstvo Kazakiya | Павителство Казакия 哥萨克政府 - 哥薩克政府 | Gesake Zhengfu Pamahalaan ng Bansang Kosakya | Government of Cossackia Dear King Suyash Adhikari, We appreciate your response on your people's behalf. We would like to establish an embassy with you and we can cooperate like my allies. On the topic of gender, we are fully aware that it's not only men and women we give equality to, we also give it to the LGBTQ+ Community. We give them equal rights to representation and service in the Politburo Rada. Premier Karla Soyokov recognizes the LGBTQ+ community as a valid gender, but not animesexual as it is an insult. We do understand the topic of abortion, but still we see it as a murder as it ends a child's life prematurely. But hey, we can soon grow up to live off it as we go. We now also understand what embargoes are, and we are aware of not exchanging goods with the Myanmar military junta. We are also aware of contradictory airlifts to Naypyidaw and other Burmese cities in the forefront to restoration of democracy. And Myanmar is not the only imperialist in our view, it's also China (because of Hong Kong, Xinjiang, Taiwan, Tibet, Inner Mongolia, and other minorities with issues related to the CCP), Russia (because they screwed up Ukraine by taking Donetsk, Lugansk, and Crimea; they are also responsible for supporting authoritarian groups from Belarus to Venezuela and that now they took Nagorno-Karabakh from Armenia.), and Iran. (because they are disrupting peace in the Arabic World and now that they are beefing up with nuclear missiles.) We appreciate your response, you will be part of the next National Briefing by then. Thank you and glory to the Fatherland!

  26. On this day, April 1st, Eastasia declares its existence, as well as a state of perpetual war with Oceania and Eurasia. Our agents have been working tirelessly to undermine Oceania for nearly a year now. Tugger Goldstein has decided that now is the time to take official action. Death will soon come to Oceania and Eurasia! https://politicsandwar.com/alliance/id=8391 https://politicsandwar.com/alliance/id=7527 https://politicsandwar.com/alliance/id=8313

  28. Seems like you don't even know what racism is yet you call everyone a racist. Racism and white supremacy are quite clearly defined and very real and you do no one any favors by screaming at anyone who gets in your way that they are a racist. If you suspect someone is a racist or worse then report them to Alex and actually do something about it. However when you just throw the word racism around at everyone and make no distinction whatsoever you really make yourself seem untrustworthy and that you don't actually really care about racism at all just partisan fighting.

  30. Line bottom of oven with foil to catch any spatters. Preheat oven to 425 degrees with rack in second-lowest position. Rinse duck in cold water; pat dry with paper towels. Use kitchen shears or a sharp paring knife to cut away fatty deposits and excess skin around neck area and just inside the bird's cavity. Cut through last joint of wings to remove wing tips, and place them in roasting pan with neck (which is usually included with giblets by the butcher). Place wing tips and neck in a large roasting pan fitted with a rack. Hold a narrow paring knife almost flat against duck's skin and make shallow pricks everywhere but drumsticks. Don't forget the areas where the thighs join the body. Score skin of breast in a crosshatch pattern. Season inside and outside of duck with pepper and 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon salt. Use a light touch with paring knife to gently crosshatch skin's top layer on breast side to facilitate release of fat. Be careful not to cut all the way through skin into flesh. Place duck, breast side up, on rack in pan. Roast for 50 minutes. Remove pan from oven. Set duck on rack in a sink or over a towel to catch drips. Spoon off excess fat from pan; strain, and reserve 1/4 cup if making roasted vegetables. Tilt duck to drain, pouring juices from cavity into roasting pan. To ensure even browning, turn duck twice during roasting. Use paper towels to lift bird from pan. Return duck, breast side down, on rack to pan. Roast for 50 minutes. Flip duck, breast side up, and roast until duck registers 165 degree on an instant-read thermometer, about 50 minutes more. Let stand for 15 minutes before carving. Spoon off fat from roasting pan (reserve if desired). Carefully tilt duck, and pour accumulated juices from cavity into pan. Reserve neck and wing tips in pan with juices if making pan sauce. After duck has rested, place it breast side down on a carving board, and cut along both sides of backbone. Flip duck breast side up. Slice along ridge of breastbone to remove meat. When you get to the thigh bone, sever the joint. Remove wings if desired. Separate leg quarters from breast. Slice breast into serving pieces. Sever joint between leg and thigh. Serve duck with roasted vegetables, and drizzle with pan sauce.

  31. Are warnings being given out here not public, or has a moderator just gone onto a thread which involved one guy repeatedly making flamey OOC attacks against other users and just told everyone to get on topic? I'm not sure how many warning points should be in the last page of Kosmo's repeated flaming but I'm reasonably certain that it is more than none.

  34. Let it also be said that it's what happens when chunks of the game go quiet and refuse to speak or deal with other chunks in a polisim. NPO, and BK to a lesser extent, had a multi-year long run-up to their peak paranoia and bribing a thousand newbies into the game to "win." It involved silence on the forums, an inability or refusal to communicate with anyone outside of their chosen sphere, and a conscious effort to suppress and oppress their members and allies into the same behavior. This is the message of paperless I've been preaching for so long: It's not only the fact that treaties cause dumb politics, but that they section off chunks of less active or less ambitious members of PnW into effectively never changing places - thus contributing to stagnation in FA. The power players may make moves on rare occasion, but the spheres and their attachments remain the same because the only onus to honor or drop treaties is literally "do we like these people and do they make us feel safe/unsafe." Treaties are a bad idea in a game designed for inter-alliance competition imo. The only good treaty is a protectorate for new alliances to help them get up and moving.

  37. The art of statistics, making numbers say whatever you want to try to prove a point. That being said based on this, if Quack had its way last war, it would have been that 30% vs 7%, and then swamp and rose would have fought each other. Based on this graph, you would also infer that Rose would have had no chance against Swamp. Talk about a dog pile!
