Church of the Force Having lost a critical engine in the Eternal Empire’s latest campaign, Grand Admiral Lucianus ordered all crewmates of the imperial frigate to brace themselves for a crash landing on a nearby obscure and barren planet…. Hours? Days? The Immortal Emperor could not tell. He gazed at the shipwreck, assessing the damage. It seemed that the frigate was out of fuel and weapons were destroyed. Thanks to the expert piloting of Lucianus, however, the body of the ship was relatively intact, needing only minor repairs. Luckily, this planet seemed to have a lot of wreckage from which to scavenge for spare parts. Suddenly, a thought struck the Immortal Emperor. Many of the wrecked ships nearby had very precise and geometric pieces of metal missing. Scavengers! Contrary to what intelligence had suggested, this planet must be occupied! But by who? Friends or foes? There were not enough supplies to survive a prolonged repair on this planet. The Emperor had to act quickly, and so he ordered a small strike team to be formed, headed by High Justice Vexz. She was to lead this strike team in order to quickly explore the planet and make diplomatic contact with the scavengers, potentially acquiring the aid needed to leave this planet and return to Zakuul. After a few hours, the High Justice could not believe her eyes. Within the barren wilderness of this planet, she stumbled upon a great city. But she did not have much time to admire it. Within minutes, her strike team was shot at by patrolling city guards. They were engaged under heavy fire for several minutes before Vexz spotted the enemy commander. Calling upon the Force, she reached out to the commander and called for a ceasefire and an audience with their leader. And so, the commander, Primus Inter Pares Keza, called off his troops and led Vexz, alone, to the city’s Pontifex. As she was escorted through the city, Vexz noticed several civilians praising the power of “Atom” in what seemed like some religious activity, headed by Cardinal of Internal Affairs Randy. Interestingly, she observed that the power of the city and the weapons of Keza’s squad operated similarly to those of the Eternal Empire, yet they seemed fundamentally different in their source of power…. Soon, she was ushered into a grand temple complex, and there she met the Pontifex Atomicus James II, Cardinal of Foreign Affairs Deebo, and the wise and old Cardinal John Baraboo. With the Immortal Emperor attending via hologram, the Pontifex Atomicus described the history of Atom. This planet had once been inhabited by many and considered a great civilization, rivaling the Eternal Empire in its culture and advancements. But centuries ago, the envious twin brother of the Atomic King unleashed the power of Atom in what was supposed to be a civil war of succession. However, John Baraboo said that the brother was not blessed by Atom, and the entire planet was devastated in a mere instant, leaving only a select few true worshippers, the creators of this mighty city and ancestors of its current residents. Intrigued by both the destructive and creative powers of Atom, the Immortal Emperor told the Pontifex Atomicus, head of the Church of Atom and the only being capable of bestowing Atom’s blessing upon others, about the great power and mysteries of the Force. This seemed to interest the Pontifex Atomicus greatly. And so, the two leaders realized the advantages of a mutual agreement. With resources provided by Cardinal of Finance Soxirella, Master of Engineering Exalts outfitted the shipwrecked frigate with engines and massively destructive weapons capable of utilizing Atom’s blessing. As they witnessed the newly fitted ship take off with the guidance of Atom, Deebo made a public address to the Worshippers of Atom regarding their new friends. It seems the Eternal Empire has gained a great ally…. Preamble Rose and the Church of Atom agree to sign an MDoAP treaty.

Rose-Atom

New tiering numbers for those who are curious. I'm genuinely glad we won't have to deal with any bad faith arguments about upper tier consolidation anymore now since it's even more hotly contested. Good luck with the treaties, folks. Hopefully interesting politics ahead for all of our futures!

Congrats to tS, and good luck with the new sphere.

The ink on our peace terms have not been dried, and already you consolidate quack and roasis. I guess you couldn't be trusted to grow internally? Bring it on. I for one welcome our new abbas overlords.

Someone's gotta say it: Rose: has meatshields that are totally useless during GW18 Also Rose: clearly the answer is to sign even more meatshields :galaxybrain:

I actually fought against TKR in Knightfall as well. They did a lot of damage given how outnumbered they were and put up a great fight even though they did end up losing. Dogpiles usually don't turn out too well for the side being dogpiled (go figure). Really makes you think how this war ended so quickly and with such little resistance.

It is not an official game server however and despite your audience numbers, there was no effort to make sure the community at large was aware of and included in the process whereas the forums are an official game platform and this method is an established tradition for picking names. If a solid chunk of the community already has a name, then great, it will probably win out. Stop being insulted over people pointing out RON isn't the official game server and they weren't even aware of this nomination/vote. It may help for future if you use your platform to encourage people towards here instead for the official name.

The Legion's march through the valley comes to a end in a field of white roses. Istandor stops to sniff a rose and falls deeply in love with the smell. A weird crusty looking man then comes by and stops and asks "WHY THE HELL YOU SNIFFING MY ROSE?". After some deep conversation and back scratch the man introduces himself as Sval. They fall in love and a union is formed. The Order of the White Rose and The Legion hereby recognize the following non-chaining Mutual Defense and Optional Aggression Pact. This preamble is non-chaining. Article I: Non-Aggression Neither party shall engage in any activity detrimental to the security, stability or well being of the other. Diplomatic remedies will be sought for any issues which arise. This clause is non-chaining. Article II: Mutual Defense Both parties are required to utilize any means at their disposal to defend one another from aggression. This clause is non-chaining. Article III: Optional Aggression Both parties are enabled to utilize any means at their disposal in combined offensive actions should they so desire. This clause is non-chaining. Article IV: Intelligence All information found to be pertinent to the security and common welfare of either signatory will be freely shared, so long as such information is not bound by outside confidentiality agreements. This clause is non-chaining. Article V: [REDACTED] [REDACTED]. This clause is non-chaining. Article VI: Cancellation Should either party choose to terminate the treaty, a grace period of 72 hours during which time the treaty is still binding shall take effect. This clause is non-chaining.

CAT ASMR IS BACK BABY

Congrats? I just woke up and have no idea whats going on.

Welcome to Daddy Sphere!

May it be a Radioactive Relationship!

Signed for Church of Atom:Pontifex Atomicus: James IIPrimus Inter Pares & Cardinal of Protection: Keza tl dr: Rose acknowledges that keza is not purple

Alliances in each sphere, please?

Congrats on the merger

That's right!

For the record, I absolutely agree that ASM was by far the best Rosesphere performer and that with a little more coordination definitely would've played an important role in dragging down nations. Inst stfu and thanks for the fun war y'all, looking forward to the next one 😉

Kinda surprised you haven't just added Legion to Nexus. Congrats nonetheless

It is now objectively the best, by proclamation of I, Sakura, Head of the Council of Sakura. You are welcome, MORTAL.

We agreed on Daddy tho... This treaty is invalid. Flags are not align and sized correctly

This is clearly fake news. Apparently this is a rose treaty that's not secret.

Then how do you explain my diverse target list over the last several weeks? Kaz and Vexz going to war against me; coincidence? I THINK NOT!

Look at CoA's treaties again.

Who needs to share? When you're a raider, you just take!

I'm the one salty at the peace terms, I cannot believe that not once was changing ROASIS name to "Fart.Inc" considered, if I had led the peace negotiations this grave issue would had been resolved with ease. If only I wasn't too busy down declaring C5's I would have had enough energy to have voiced my desires to rename ROASIS to "Fart.Inc" or "Where can I get a BTS meal?", to COTL High Gov, but alas there are no "If only" in life, theres only "I wasn't actually involved in Milcom during the war, anyway heres my analysis" in life.

Alot of you guys here that aren't very involved with the war can make excuses why you couldn't drag us, but that is what they are, excuses. This is the city number comparison, and these numbers aren't close. That is you guys in the red, Now I will admit that we had the advantage of Rose not being militarized and were able to neutralize most of them on our blitz, but Oasis and Cam, had the blitz advantage on us, and if done properly should have been able to wipe out most of us, especially the upper tiers that had already used their rebuys on Rose, and were wide open to counter attacks. You guys took a few shots at Oblivion, but your counter attacks consisted of 6-9 man teams, which we were easily able to shut down. You had larger guys just yoloing into the middle with no coordination, or just clogging defensive slots so they could nuke. It seemed like you guys just gave up after about a week. From what I understand we were able to start pushing control down to the low 20s which is ridiculous when looking at that chart. The difference between us has nothing to do with down declaring, you had the numbers to match our upper tier, and you had us dominated with numbers in the mid tiers, but your side lacked the coordination, will, and the activity to utilize that strength, where as on our side our mid to upper tier was close to 100% utilization (besides keegoz dirty war dodger) With your crazy number advantage there is no excuse for not being able to drag our entire side.

While my time in P&W has been fun, it has also been dramatic and toxic. Eventually all good things come to an end, and the end is nigh for me. During the past few weeks I’ve spent in VM - I’ve had time to think whether I wanted to continue playing the game; and the conclusion is that I do not. My final act: I realize that the actions I took caused harm. I will be directing the assets I have on hand to be used to repay the smallest individuals first. Furthermore, My nation generates roughly $30M per day. I will be putting my nation in a safe alliance that can tax farm my nation in order to help those most affected. I will continue to support the businesses using open stock bot, but my return to the game itself is not going to happen. I may continue to give consultory advice and weigh in on economics to those who desire to listen to my input. Above all; thanks for the memories, thanks for the laughs, and may you find joy in this game. My Best, Deraj

Great to see you guys moving closer together! Treat them right Legion...or else.

Likewise for Guardian, out of the 11 nations we had <20 cities at the start of the war, seven were in the top 100 nations for most wars. Our other nations that made the top 100 were more typical of downdeclarers. Many of them were not in a good spot at the start of the war, but Roasis let them rebuild and they were wrecking havoc in rounds 2-3. #16 Carycyn - 42 wars (16c at start) #28 Zolgar - 36 wars (16c at start) #33 Cthulhu - 34 wars (30c at start) #37 Molang - 33 wars (17c at start) #44 Roman Von Sternberg - 32 wars (16c at start) #57 Zukran - 31 wars (27c at start) #58 Kinns - 30 wars (19c at start) #72 Kalupses - 28 wars (16c at start) #77 Charles Bolivar - 27 wars (28c at start) #100 Caesar Gorandius - 26 wars (16c at start) Our <20c tier wasn't just doing easy raids on inactives either, there was quite a bit of conventional fighting from them too. In fact five of them did over $1billion net damage. Roasis did not have a single <25c nation that did over $1b net. The only nations they had that did >1b net were 3 upper tier nuke turrets and one upper tier nation that managed to loot an offshore.

You can't run from destiny. Maestro wills it. 🐱 See? Even our resident internet cat came back from the dead for this, it's fate!

Best of luck to the merging of blocs. Tho, I thought when you merge two blocs together you declare war on somebody, isn't that how its suppose to work?

Wait so no NeoNuke Bloc

Implying Church of Atom has meat. Thanks!

That doesn't even make sense. Glhf, Rose and CoA

Cool beans. Can’t wait to share what you guys do next

NG Moment

If you're insinuating there's still bad blood on our end, let me reassure you we had good fun and accomplished what we wanted so we're quite pleased with ourselves and the war.

What did I tell you guys, dudes named James, they be crazy!

Wow, you just summarized why your coalition lost the war. Hint: zero initiative.

All of the above but especially number 3.

For the war wiki do I put Hollywood victory, white peace, or Camelot humiliation?

Real winners shouldn't need to coax an admission of defeat. So thank you for admitting defeat. GGWP to all players involved. Thank you for letting us have a short war so that people don't get much of a chance to get mad at Grumpy for beiging too much.

Feel free to violate the peace treaty, I personally would love to see what happens.

Quack loses conventional battle= quack surrender Roasis loses in EVERY conceivable way both militarily and in damages = white peace
