Where's the threat @Germanicus Julius Caesar? Where's the war Mutherfrucker?

Don't blame him, 95% of this game just skips over anything you say automatically. Keeg probably just accidently read your post, he didn't mean too.

No problem. You looked like you needed it.

Some people seemed to be interested in my idea that someone was duping food. With the global food supply metric fixed, a simple linear model allows pretty accurate interpolation of food amounts over the course of the war. Amounts at the peak are inaccurate, but past wars show before and after the peak can be quite accurate As can be seen in figure 1, the food amounts projected from prewar line of 30.9 mil net increase per day intersects with the current decreasing rate of 25 mil net loss per day at the end of war day 1 (2 days of fighting). The peak food in the game is likely 2589 ± 20 million food. According to the current data: Any duping that occurred was within the error of the model To reach a point of half the max food, we will need to remain at current radiation values for another 52 days. Food prices are heavily inflated

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.

Holy shit I forgot all about that. When pixels need to be burned, they need to be burned.

Downvoted.

I don't know what's going on, but hello!

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.

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.

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.

You know what... I agree

Give the dev team a few more months
