-Unity- This alliance’s principal foundation is that we value each individual member as much as any other. In many alliances, members might be neglected for a variety of reasons. Chief among them, the special treatment of government members over regular members. We believe, of course, that showing appreciation for hardworking government is important but it should not be a fast track to extreme growth at the expense of others. The best way to think about this alliance, and how it is run, is as one massive nation. Each member’s cities are playing into the bigger picture wherein we can support one another militarily and economically, ultimately leading to collective growth. Quality > Quantity To ensure that the care we take with each member is worthwhile, we believe that recruiting/developing the right individuals is a vital step in this process. Those with competence and potential will thrive. However, people that are not able to adhere to baseline standards may be subject to probationary periods or removal. -Unity- has been founded with a core group of players that have built up trust and loyalty between one another over time. It is important that both virtues are present, something that can be lacking in other alliances. Often Leadership might feel that they are the ones that require the trust and loyalty of their ‘subjects’ however this is not the case exclusively. With how much abuse of power occurs throughout Orbis, it is important for Leaders to prove to their people that they have the best intentions. In -Unity- every action or inaction taken is always explained in sufficient detail to each member as needed. It can often be the case that a decision, in a vacuum, may seem odd or outright incorrect. Generally, this is not the case once contextual circumstances are considered. Accountability Accountability is THE most important virtue for any government member to have, or any person for that matter. What this means is that whenever a mistake occurs, Leadership must take responsibility. If you want credit for all the good things you do, then you should also take credit for the bad things you do. We have all seen Leaders that refuse to take any accountability, choosing instead to deflect responsibility to other government or even members themselves. Accountability is also important for members to have, as it is the best avenue through which growth can be achieved. Progression -Unity- primarily cares about progression. We invest billions of dollars each month, and only expect this number to increase. To date, we have invested over 20billion dollars into our player base. We do not debt trap anyone! -Unity- and its systems have been proven to be able to take people from low city count, to c20+ within a timeframe that many alliances of similar size (or even larger) cannot supply. Community Those of us who are here at the beginning of Unity have created a community that we wish to grow. We strive to build mutual loyalty through time + mutual aid and have fun along the way. After all, when you are willing to fight for someone that is willing to fight for you what is there to hate?

Edit: I've applied a fix for the tiny voting window as best I can, you may need to do a hard refresh of the page for it to fix. Regarding AI: I am aware of the controversy regarding ai submissions, ultimately this is a failing by me as the event organizer to update rules for a modern issue. However, it would be immensely poor form for me to change rules after the event has already started so ai submissions will be allowed to stand for voting and the community can reward them or not based on votes. I am aware this is less than kind to the people who fully committed to high effort original works, to that end staff will be distributing additional prizes to such works at the end of the event. We are now entering the voting phase of the contest which will run until game day change on the 30th. Winners will be confirmed on the 31st but it may take up to a week to distribute prizes. You can vote in the poll above by selecting your favorite pumpkins in the above poll, you can select however many you want but keep in mind the more you select the more you water down your votes. To address the elephant in the room; I didn't really consider ai art when I wrote the rules for this competition and I'm not going to change them this late into the event, so ai art is being allowed. However this topic will be reconsidered for future events. Additionally some other submissions have been excluded because they are not original, do not contain a pumpkin or pumpkin substitute, or do not relate to PW in a meaningful way. If this includes your submission you can reach out to me in DM for clarification on staff's reasoning. A big thank you to the 65 contestants who have made it to voting and everyone who has submitted. While it is too late to be entered into the grand prize voting you can still submit in the submissions thread linked below for the participation prizes and a chance at the Staff Selection prizes through the 31st.

We are hosting our 4th ever Pumpkin Decoration Contest, starting today! Edit: The period to be entered in the voting section for the grand prize has ended. However you can still submit through the end of the 31st to receive the participation prizes and a chance at the Staff Selection award. Here are the rules: To enter, you need to come up with some Politics & War related concept (game related, alliance related, nation related, player related, etc.) and carve it into a pumpkin. Or paint it on a pumpkin. Or paint it on a watermelon. Or build it in Minecraft. Or 3D print it. You have a broad creative license. Then, take a picture of your "pumpkin" and submit it here as a reply in this thread to enter the competition. You will have approximately 18 days to create and submit your entry. This thread will lock on October 24, and then we will have a period of voting from October 25 - October 30 where everyone will be able to vote on their favorite pumpkins. The winners will then be announced October 31. Prizes may take up to a week to distribute. *We know some players, depending on their geographic locations IRL may not have access to pumpkins. For this reason, we are okay with submissions that are carvings into other fruits / vegetables (e.g. a watermelon, a turnip, whatever you might have access to.) Or you can make a digital pumpkin. The world is your oyster! Here are the prizes: Everyone who participates will be guaranteed a special Halloween 2023 achievement for their nation related to this event and $10,000,000 The top 3 winners will receive a special nation award along with, $300m for first, $200m for second, $100m for third. Additional prizes may be added depending on event participation! Other Notes: We reserve the right to reject submissions not related to Politics and War. You can submit multiple photos in the thread, but you need to identify one primary photo that we will use for voting. We would also like to feature your creations on social media on our Politics and War accounts! If you do not want us to share your photo in this way, please just make a note of that when you post your submission. If you have any questions, feel free to ask here in this thread so that everyone can see the questions and answers. That's it! I hope you'll enjoy this fun little festive contest and giveaway. We are excited to see what you all can come up with!

Also if you are having issues with the poll being too small do a hard refresh so a fix to the forum theme can load.

The post isn't even formatted so most people can read it. I'm sorry this is an incredibly low-effort community event. I voted for the few that [seemed] to be actual carved pumpkins.

I'm concerned there are probably a fair share that are not original work and just ripped off of a Google search. Maybe in future contests we should require the photo include a piece of paper (or equivalent, such as a sign for Minecraft submissions) with the submitter's nation name and "For the 202X Pumpkin Decoration Contest" written down
