June 7, 2021 a date which will live in infamy the Infinite Empire was suddenly and deliberately attacked by naval and air forces of the Black Skies. Ambassador from Black Skies and his colleague delivered to our Secretary of State a formal reply to a recent rakatan message. And this reply stated that it seemed useless to continue the existing diplomatic negotiations. Alan asks for 50 million im reparations for 7 million in actual damage (on a inactive applicant). Hence forth Soviet Cereal man Declared a few more wars to pay the 50 million in a better way. As such Alan hit RIE. It seems Alan can't handle pirates, the ego hit is to much. As a RIE/TIE tradition we gladly welcome the dogpile. Tldr: RIE/TIE declares war on Black Skies

Alan... The brains behind every stupid decision made in Orbis.

Four months ago, I lost friends and allies in the blink of an eye. And Orbis just !@#$in' laughed. Tomorrow, there would be no shortage of haters and no shortage of CBs. I know nobody understands. We are the most under appreciated alliance in the history of man. Every fight is our fight. Because what happens over here, matters over there. We don't get to sit one out. Learning to use the tools of pirate counters is the difference between the prospering of your people, and utter destruction. We can't give you freedom. But we can give you the know-how to acquire it. And that, my friends, is worth more than a whole army base of steel. Sure it matters who's got the biggest stick, but it matters a helluva lot more who's swinging it. This is a time for counters. A time for blockades. The narrative is written by the haters. Let's get to work. TL;DR - After we bled for RIE's freedom, RIE will bleed for ours. We understand nobody cares about what we say. Black Skies recognizes hostilities with the bootleg pirates.

NOOO WE ARE THE REAL VICTIMS NOT RIE THEY SHOULD APPRECIATE US

The reality of your unappreciation, is every FA move you've ever done ends in a fluke. No one care about someone who walks around in a tin foil hat. If you wanted a better outcome maybe don't ask for 50mil in reps for an inactive applicant when you're incapable of handling your own members. If you want to be appreciated then do something that actually deserves appreciation.

Give them hell, Crunch. Have fun.

Go Forth IE, and expand your empire!

Alan playing the victim card is pretty funny

BS aren't even pirates. Their Infra levels show it

"RIE is not TIE tho" Also RIE:

Your blood was spilled for TIE and for that I am grateful. RIE is not TIE tho

It’s black skies so no luck needed, but good luck anyway.

here, i converted one of the graphs for you

smh @Cpt Crunch

The true villain here is TO @Lord Vader of the Order, we demand justice!

@Sweeeeet Ronny D Aight, I'll make this fair game for all of Orbis telling everyone how to calculate spies for any individual. First, we need to understand that when calculating spies, we approach it as an inequality. While the formula for odds can quiet easily be found here, using it only is going to be troublesome. Since the odds are shown as Greater than 50% and Less than 50%, we need to use this as an inequality equation as: Final Odds > 50% , Final Odds < 50% where Final Odds = (Safety Level * 25 + ( Your Spies * 100 / (( Enemy Spies * 3 ) + 1 )))/Modifier As you can see, there are a lot of variables out there which you can find value from in the link provided. Lets set the odds with these values: Safety Level = 1 Modifier = 1 The equation now reduces to Final Odds = 25 + ( Your Spies * 100 / (( Enemy Spies * 3 ) + 1 )) We are hence left with only two variables which are Your Spies and Enemy Spies If we fix final odds at 50, we get something like this: 50 = 25 + ( Your Spies * 100 / (( Enemy Spies * 3 ) + 1 )) We can solve it as: y = (4x -1)/3 where y = Enemy Spies x = Your Spies As you can see, this is the equation of a line, meaning it has infinite solutions. But we are only interested in finding values of y between 0 to 60(since 0 is the max spies your enemy can have, 60 is the maximum they can have). To do this, we fix x and then solve for y. This may or may not give you an integer answer but the number you get is pretty much close to what spies your enemy has. To fix the value of x, we use the value of Your Spies for which the odds just jump from Greater than 50% to Less than 50% or vice versa. Let's take an example for this: Putting x = 10, 15, 4, 8, 25 and solving the equation: y = (4x -1)/3, we get Y = 13, 16.67(17), 5, 10.33(11), 33 Now you might ask me why we get decimals for spy values. The answer is that we assume a 50% odd at times where the odd might actually be 55% or 75% or 45%. You can fix these errors using trial and error methods and such but that's that. Also, this equation doesn't take into account the modifiers to odds due to special policies like Covert or Arcane. Anyway, I hope this helps Orbis by making the game more fair for everyone unless you suck at maths.

Rose Bloc wasn't going to beat us, you dont start a major bloc war unless you know you can win, that being said it wasn't the curb stomp people like to pretend it was, Rose shot themselves in the foot by not militarizing which made it exceedingly easy to roll thru them. When we chose to hit them we were expecting a more prepared fight out of them. What is surprising is how poorly the other blocs that jumped in have done. I hate telling our opponents how to beat us, but here you go! You have the numbers to take us out, just looking at the 21-30, you out number us 3-1, which means if you can work together and utilize your strength, you can easily up declare 3 on 1s against every single Hollywood member in the 20-30 range. When that happens, you can then pin those guys with your huge number advantage in the teens, and then use the remaining members to start dragging our 30s, then you move up to the mid 30s, and upper 30s and then 40s, and poof! You win! That is how easy it is. Granted we aren't going to sit around and let you do that, which is why the small counters you have launched have all basically failed, so you will have to put in more work and launch counters to our counters, but you still have the numbers for that, because we only have so many offensive attack slots. The question is do you have the coordination, discipline, and activity needed to do that? From what we have seen from our end so far, the answer is no, to the point where it looks like we might actually be pushing you downwards with control now into the low 20s (which is ridiculous) Oasis and Cam have shown themselves to be a bit of a paper tiger so far. Also don't act like up declares dont work or are difficult, they 100 percent do, just ask Dreadnaught.

I don't know which side I would rather win. 😉 Best of luck to both I guess.

Dude you're a crappy micro. "under appreciated" lol. Ngl this sounded kinda like the big angry micro version of Elliot Rodgers video message. All you smoler micros out there I'd reccomend you get yourself to safety quick lol.

He is on fortress war policy This means if you declare war on him, you start with 5 initial MAPs

I can, however its already labor intensive to generate current report. I'll make them if this reply get 50 upvotes, so i'll know how many nations actually need the report. And maybe donations to my nation so i can grow, im still on c10 tier :((

Its why I have publicly stated I dont really see oasis as threat for atleast another 2 years or so. They act like a giant blob of unruly nations, its going to take them a while to tighten it up. They are the opposite of alliances like Oblivion or Guardian who have a tight group of nations that are used to working together, and fight as a team as a matter of habit. Its also tougher when you have 3 blocs trying to work together, that is a lot of extra coordination that is needed vs Hollywood where we have things set up for us to succeed, tho we are basically two blocs that merged and declared at the same time, so in terms of our internals being 100 percent, it definitely took us a day or two to get things running fairly efficiently after we started the war. (aka we will be better next time)

Are you suggesting they should GROW INTERNALLY instead of hyper blob to make up for their lacking? THE AUDACITY OF YOU, SIR. THE AUDACITY.

Is...is that Soup....is that Soup hot?....

It seems nowadays everyone has bots that can tell people within 1-2 spies every single person's spy count. I know our bloc can do it, I know Rose can do it, I'm pretty sure all the major players can do it. This seems like cheating to me, you shouldn't be able to know how many spies a person has it goes against the intent of spies. Can we please make spies worth 0 NS so that the bots cant track it, I assume that is how they do it? (man this one isn't even self serving, it probably hurts me in the long run)

This is what you deserve for defending and hoarding inactive applicants in the first place.

Here are the stats that I have personally pulled, and generated. Though, after spending some time looking at them, I can't really figure out which method best shows anything but a decently sized disparity, against Hollywood, in every single way. I tried basic methods first, then realized more detailed ones may be in order. HW = Hollywood RO = Roasis Disparity means difference, and in this particular case, a unit of measurement, comparatively, and specifically referred to in multiples. (Yes, I feel I must actually define this for some of our community members) 1. City counts (HW-12,494 / RO-21,054) This is too general, but shows a disparity of 1.684 more nations in RO's favor. 2. Nation counts (HW-732 / RO-1448) Total Nation counts? Again, probably not going to satisfy anyone, so I will delve deeper. Disparity is 1.978 in favor of RO. 3. Tier counts (cities/nations) c10-c15, HW-2,109 / RO-5,091 (cities) Disparity of 2.413 in RO's favor c10-c15, HW-174 / RO-438 (nations) Disparity of 2.517 in RO's favor c16-c20, HW-2,063 / RO-4,014 (cities) Disparity of 1.945 in RO's favor c16-c20, HW-115 / RO-223 (nations) Disparity of 1.939 in RO's favor c21-c25, HW-2,669 / RO-3,765 (cities) Disparity of 1.410 in RO's favor c21-c25, HW-117 / RO-165 (nations) Disparity of 1.410 in RO's favor c26-c30, HW-2,768 / RO-3,712 (cities) Disparity of 1.341 in RO's favor c26-c30, HW-98 / RO-133 (nations) Disparity of 1.357 in RO's favor c31+, HW-2,045 / RO-2,141 (cities) Disparity of 1.046 in RO's favor c31+, HW-57 / RO-61 (nations) Disparity of 1.070 in RO's favor The last tier (c31+) was so close in "balance", in regards to city and nation count, that I decided I could somewhat accurately generate some more stats for these sluggers, for fun. c31+ HW Infra Loss: 18,938,636,586.01 Nukes Used: 14 Missiles Used: 5 Aircraft Lost: 44,332 Total "Loss": 21,782,128,465.74 c31+ RO Infra Loss: 63,638,183,014.43 Nukes Used: 440 (Yes, I triple checked this) Missiles Used: 270 (See above note) Aircraft Lost: 226,761 Total "Loss": 98,458,022,966.46 There are other consumption stats, and I decided it was best to not include (I assume not everyone likes reading this stuff?) 4. What other methods of stat tracking can people use to make it seem like RO isn't dogpiling? These stats are provided from a slightly unbiased standpoint (I'm HW, but just enjoy statistics/numbers in general) and sources for above stats are provided at request.

@wintercrest is it possible to divide the graphs further based on city counts? Ideally, it should be C1-10, c10-c15, c15-c22, c23-c28, c28-c35, c35+

I would like to petition the forum mods to add the word 'hegemony' to the word filter on the basis of spam.

I believe you've mistaken this thread for the old RL picture thread. I would have chosen a more flattering picture if I were you. that one makes you look a bit upset.

I see you've been watching US politics the past four years. "Everyone is saying it!" Solid evidence, solid argument. The reason it's a narrative is precisely because you are crafting it. "6 out of the top 12" ? How about your 2 out of the top 5, compared to our 1/5? Or your 3 out of the top 6, compared to our 1/6 (until recently)? It's a bad metric, alongside a series of bad metrics that you and your team keep pulling from a hat to point at and stir up controversy. We're a competitively-sized sphere and that offends the other two competitively-sized spheres.

Dear Orbis, SCP-4299 will be contained. - The Overseers

I get it KT is in another war, but my nation is a trading nation only. I am only in the alliance I am in so that when nations attack I can get backup. I don’t know how you fell about wars but considering you countered me I figured you’re the kind of person who enjoys it. That’s fine when it doesn’t affect me if you actually want to fight a war I can point you to a few people who enjoy that part of the game.
