The alliance formerly known as OWR formally declares wor on the alliance currently known as TKR Signed ~ Sval

https://politicsandwar.com/account/vacation/ >Vacation Mode is not intended as a tool to use to avoid wars, and it is not a "peace mode". Other people have made the point well enough that it does not need to be thoroughly re-litigated, but this honestly was one of the most "bruh" moments I have ever had reading a comment on these forums. Fortunately, I think most of us know this is atypical for TKR. People do have legit reasons for VM sometimes, and sometimes real life happens when we prefer it not to. Or, if someone was in a global war for six straight months or something like that, then I really doubt people will have the same issue with that as opposed to VMing after the first round of a fight.

the potatoes in this peace deal are going to be unreal

To echo on this, I'm long past the point where I've gotten enjoyment from the game or where I have had time to play between school, job applications, irl stuff, etc. I only maintain a nation because it's slightly better to be a 100/100 farm to help the TKR community than to delete my nation altogether. It gives me an excuse to be on slack with all of the friends I've made over the past few years and a way in which I can contribute without having to spend time I don't have on the game. People can say whatever shit they want about my VMing every war since I "left" the game, but I think it speaks to the strength of our community that I preferred to stick around in some barebones capacity than just simply delete and leave. I didn't want to leave my community even if I didn't have the time or desire for PnW. This is also a true for a few of our other nations who are perma-VMed and we keep them on the alliance as a testament to their previous service to our community. If you look through the names, these are folks like smith, deus, and legoboy. People who have truly left their mark on TKR and even on Orbis. By VMing, they get to stay a part of our community and contribute in slack/forums without wasting time they don't have to spare. I'd simply ask for y'all to respect how we as a TKR community have decided to handle these situations. Our community is important to all of us, even to folks like me who are mostly checked out. I hope this also provides context on why the OP was so frustrating for many of us.

Waited until there was a definitive winner to join huh, when we started this war we had no clue if we would come out on top but here we are. Now we have others jumping in to reap the benefits of our hard work. But thank you for your help.

Appeal denied - you were warned multiple times and continued to make multis.

Must be great for some grunts in TKR who are busting their butts off and burning their WCs to read jerks like mitsuru gloating about VM tho.

Maybe because people want to help their alliance mates rather than just abandon them? Shocking, I know. Some people may have a good reason to VM but imho you are just being shitty acting like this.

It's totally legitimate to use VM numbers as a data point to dunk on an alliance with. Mass unwillingness to fight Is worthy of criticism. That said, the key word there is mass. If it's not a strong double digit percentage, then it's probably not an effective attack. The reality is that war does require more activity than usual, and things do happen IRL. I don't believe the number of VM'ers in TKR (14%) Is high enough to where it's really indicative of a shortcoming in their community. Especially because I'm sure some of those were already in VM before the war.

Leave some grass for the rest of us

At a certain point one begins to wonder why people still bother to type up game suggestions. Every last one of them falls on deaf ears. Even if they didn’t it would take 2 years to implement any meaningful changes. Anyways I’ll probably get a strike on my account now for daring to question the work ethic of the dev team. I’m sure they’re working very hard to get us another two national projects out in the next year. I only pray that these won’t be designed to be useless and only exist as a poor justification for there being a dev team like military salvage or fallout shelter.
